As infrastructure and its many sub-segments took off sharply over the past couple of years and continue to thrive with heavy government investments and initiatives, many companies have benefitted from smart execution of such projects.
In this regard, NCC is a company that has been a key beneficiary of the focus on improvement in infrastructure across the country.
The firm operates in segments ranging from building & housing, roads, water & environment, to irrigation, electrical works, mining and railways. These projects are executed for various State and Central government entities.
A track record of strong execution, diversified orderbook and a pipeline of lucrative projects to be worked on over the next few years make the prospects for the stock of NCC attractive.
The shares of NCC have doubled over the past one year, but are still reasonably valued. At ₹166.70, the stock trades at 18 times its trailing 12-months per share earnings and 14 times its likely per share earnings for FY24. Investors with a 2-3-year perspective can buy the shares of NCC.
In the last five financial years (FY18-FY23), the company’s revenues have risen at a CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) of 12 per cent to ₹13,351 crore in FY23, while net profits grew at 14.7 per cent over the same period to ₹569 crore.
Strong execution record
NCC operates in multiple segments of the infrastructure theme, as mentioned earlier.
Industrial and commercial buildings, IT Parks, shopping malls, colleges, hospitals, metros, highways, water treatment plants, underground drainages, electrification, transmission & distribution lines and sub-stations, dams, reservoirs, tunnels, track-laying, signalling and coal excavation are some of its areas of expertise.
A sample of its projects executed includes, Nagpur Metro Rail, ESIC Hospital at Gulbarga, AIIMS Guwahati, Agra-Lucknow Expressway, SVAB, ISRO Sriharikota, Water Supply Project in Odisha, Rubber Dam on Falgu River, Airport at Agartala and Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway, among many others.
NCC is currently executing or has won orders from North Bihar Power Distribution Company, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co., Navi Mumbai International Airport, Haryana International Horticulture Marketing Corporation and the like. The size of these orders ranges from ₹1,144 crore to ₹5,755 crore, indicating deep client relationships. The UP Jal Jeevan Piped Water project is worth ₹16,500 crore.
Large, diversified order book
The company has witnessed a surge in its order book over the past couple of years. In the recent couple of quarters alone, it has won a total of over ₹20,400 crore worth of orders.
As of September 2023, NCC had an order book of a staggering ₹61,796 crore to be executed in the next few years. The order book translates to around 4 times its trailing 12-months’ revenues.
Being an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) player, the company is able to bid smartly for its projects and has generally been able to maintain an EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) margin of 10 per cent or more. This margin is healthy given the scale at which it operates. NCC is also increasingly taking on projects that contain escalation clauses to insulate the company from increase in input prices.
The company has constantly been able to tap into emerging areas and develop expertise to win orders. Smart metering is one such area, given the focus that many State electricity boards put into it to reduce revenue leakages and tighten subsidies.
NCC’s current order book is quite diversified with buildings (41 per cent), transportation (14 per cent), electrical (22 per cent), water & railways (16 per cent) and mining (7 per cent) being the main constituents.
Given the diversity of the order book, and the criticality of many projects that it is executing, there is considerable visibility on earnings and margins for the next few years without any fears of cutbacks from governments.
Debt and one-offs
Despite growing at a reasonable pace and with a fairly large scale of operation, NCC has managed to keep its debt level under control. Gross debt has decreased from ₹1,985 crore as of September 2022 to ₹1,470 crore as of September 2023. The company has cash and cash equivalents of ₹215 crore as of September 2023.
Though NCC has indicated that debt may go up a tad over the next couple of quarters, the levels of leverage are still comfortable.
The net debt to equity ratio is a little over 0.1, which is quite a healthy level to operate at.
In the first half of FY24, NCC’s revenue rose 36.2 per cent over the same period in FY23 to ₹8,121.5 crore, while net profits declined 4.3 per cent to ₹2,31.3 crore. The reason for the decline was a one-off arbitration issue. In September 2023, NCC received an arbitration award of ₹198 crore after five years (from a client, Sembcorp), while the expected claim was ₹606 crore. At the same time, the company also received a claim settlement of ₹152 crore from NHAI. These two claims together impacted revenue by ₹199 crore and net profits by ₹149 crore in Q2FY24 as impairment — no cash outflows, though. Otherwise, the first half net profits would have soared sharply.
At Cannes Lions 2023, TVS Motor Company’s campaign The Responsible Manhole, made by Dentsu Creative — an innovative initiative to prevent deaths due to submerged open manholes in the city of Mumbai — was shortlisted under the category – Brand Experience and Activation (culture and context).
businessline checked out how this intervention is faring. It all began when TVS Motor Company learnt that open manholes in cities like Mumbai claim a life every 12 hours. They pose a great risk to riders due to chronic waterlogging during the monsoons caused by poor drainage. Of the 3,60,000 manholes in the city — while some are left open by the locals for the rainwater to escape — many manhole covers are stolen. It’s a big challenge for the municipality to keep the manholes closed.
The two wheeler giant joined hands with the Mumbai Municipal Corporation to solve this problem. Leveraging technology and connectivity, an innovative, low-cost, easily scalable 3D-printed device, which costs $20 to produce, was developed along with an app.
When it rains and the manhole is dislodged, the device is pushed up by 5 feet. The LED blinker and the buzzer is triggered alerting the people to the danger in the form of audio and visual warnings. Apart from the device, an app was also developed to alert the civic authorities in real-time to fix the problem.
The responsible manhole app
“Our intent is to make a difference and save the lives of riders during the monsoon,” Aniruddha Haldar, Senior Vice President (Marketing) – Commuters and Corporate Brand and Dealer Transformation, TVS Motor Company told businessline.
Phase 2 in works
After the first phase of the initiative, when the device was deployed across the city, there was a significant decline in casualties. Phase 2 of the programme now moves to Bengaluru.
“We are in the process of initiating phase 2 of this initiative and 200 devices will be installed in Bengaluru. Furthermore, this technology is being made open-source to leading technology institutes in India so that further development can happen,” said Haldar.
The project’s success has also opened conversations with other municipalities including Chennai, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar and Guwahati. In December 2022, the Mumbai High Court ordered better surveillance of manhole covers in the city. The device’s blueprint has also been made available to civic bodies worldwide for any municipality to use.
U MODERNOM, užurbanom svijetu, gdje briga o mentalnom zdravlju postaje sve važnija, pred nama je nova godina koja pruža priliku za introspekciju i primjenu pet jednostavnih, ali učinkovitih strategija. Ove metode mogu nam pomoći u suočavanju sa stresom i unaprijediti naše opće mentalno blagostanje.
1. Isprobajte provjereni način za bolji san
Dovoljno sna jedna je od najvažnijih stvari koje možemo učiniti za svoje mentalno zdravlje. Spavanje igra ključnu ulogu u regulaciji raspoloženja, kognitivnim funkcijama te općem emocionalnom i psihičkom blagostanju.
Stalna i kvalitetna rutina spavanja može imati pozitivan utjecaj na suočavanje sa stresom. Prioritiziranje kvalitetnog sna postaje važan korak u skrbi o svom mentalnom zdravlju.
2. Naučite kako prepoznati je li vaša tjeskoba zaštitna ili problematična
Normalno je ponekad osjećati tjeskobu. Stručnjaci kažu da je to interni alarmni sustav koji može poboljšati naše performanse i pomoći nam da prepoznamo opasnost. Ipak, važno je znati odrediti kada razina tjeskobe nije u normalnoj mjeri.
“Ako počnete primjećivati da su zabrinutost i strah stalno prisutni, to je signal da vam treba pomoć”, rekao je doktor i predsjednik Američke psihijatrijske udruge Petros Levounis za New York Times.
Drugi znakovi na koje treba obratiti pažnju uključuju nemir, osjećaj straha ili propasti, ubrzan rad srca, znojenje, drhtanje i probleme s koncentracijom.

3. Ne razmišljajte previše o brigama
Ako smo skloni pretjeranom razmišljanju, postoji nekoliko jednostavnih načina da obuzdamo tu naviku. Jedan od njih je odvraćanje pozornosti. Možemo pokušati igrati neku stratešku igru ili slušati glazbu.
4. Budite zahvalni na sitnicama
Zahvalnost je pozitivna emocija i važno ju je izraziti kad god je to moguće. To može uključivati pisanje pisama zahvale ili navođenje pozitivnih stvari u našem životu u dnevniku. Zahvaljivanje prijateljima, romantičnim partnerima, pa čak i kolegama s posla, također može doprinijeti mentalnom zdravlju.
5. Pokušajte prakticirati bilo koju vrstu umjetnosti
Mnogi možda znaju da umjetnost može pomoći mentalnom zdravlju, ali rijetki to primjenjuju. Pisanje pjesme, pjevanje ili crtanje mogu nam pomoći da podignemo raspoloženje, bez obzira na to koliko se smatramo kreativnima. Jedan od najlakših načina za početak je bojanje. Otprilike 20 minuta bojanja mandale, složenog geometrijskog dizajna, korisno je za smanjenje tjeskobe.
Održavanje mentalnog zdravlja postaje sve važnije, a pomoću ovih praksi možemo stvoriti temelje za mentalnu ravnotežu i pronaći radost u malim stvarima. Dobar san, prakticiranje umjetnosti i zahvalnosti jednostavne su i djelotvorne strategije koje mogu unaprijediti naš svakodnevni život i mentalno stanje.

ZLATNA retriverica Luna jako je vezana za svog vlasnika, ali nije ljubiteljica putovanja i auti joj izazivaju anksioznost, zbog čega se ne može pridružiti svom vlasniku kada mora ići na put.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Njezin vlasnik nedavno je otišao na putovanje od tjedan dana, a Lunu je ostavio kod bake, gdje može plivati u bazenu i uživati u psećim aktivnostima. Iako je Luna uživala tih tjedan dana, nedostajao joj je njezin vlasnik, zbog čega je bila oduševljena kada je napokon došao po nju. Dirljivu snimku njihovog ponovnog susreta pogledajte u nastavku.
“Moj pas se ovako ponaša kada me nema 5 minuta”, “Najbolja stvar na svijetu je vratiti se doma psima”, “Luna je prekrasna”, “Stvarno si joj nedostajao”, “Prekrasna obitelj”, pisali su korisnici TikToka u komentarima ispod videa.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
NA KRAJU godine mnogi brendovi, trgovine, ali i preprodavači vole otkriti koji su proizvodi bili najpopularniji među potrošačima. Tako je Nike otkrio svojih pet najpoželjnijih tenisica u SAD-u u 2023., LYST, tvrtka za modnu tehnologiju i šoping-aplikacija, nedavno je otkrila popularne marke, proizvode i trendove koji su dominirali ovom godinom, a isto je napravio i StockX.
Ako niste čuli za StockX, radi se o online platformi na kojoj se preprodaju odjeća i obuća, a vjerojatno glavni artikl su tenisice. “Na StockX-u kupci i prodavači mogu davati anonimne ponude za širok izbor obuće, odjeće, elektronike i kolekcionarskih predmeta”, stoji na stranici.
StockX u svom izvješću ističe proizvode koji su oblikovali tržište preprodaje i postavili nove rekorde u 2023., ali također sagledava pojmove koji su se pretraživali za ovu blagdansku sezonu, specifične robne marke, kolaboracije i sl. Izdvajamo ključne naglaske ovog izvješća.
1. Trkača estetika – Nike Vomero 5, Asics Gel-1130 i New Balance 9060
2023. godinu obilježile su trkaće tenisice koje mnogi nose i za svaki dan. Tenisice koje prednjače u toj kategoriji prema StockX-u su Nike Vomero 5, Asics Gel-1130 i New Balance 9060. StockX ističe da je porast prometa za Nikeice bio 5104%, a za Asics model 1176%, a u odnosu na prošlu godinu.
“Pretraživanje weba i aplikacija za Nike Vomero poraslo je 1945% u odnosu na prethodnu godinu na StockX-u, dok je pretraživanje za Asics Gel-1130 skočilo za 997%. New Balance 9060 preuzima dizajnerske note od 990, jedne od najpoznatijih tenisica za trčanje ove marke. Njihovo trgovanje je skočilo za 744% u 2023., dok su pretraživanja porasla za više od 1000%”, piše StockX.
Čak 10 milijuna dolara su potrošači u posljednjih 12 mjeseci izdvojili za New Balance 9060 model, a silueta – koja je predstavljena 2022. – brzo je postala jedan od New Balance stilova s najvećim prometom na StockX-u.
2. adidas i retro modeli
Adidas je na dobitku zahvaljujući modelima poput Campusa 00s, Gazella, Sambe i drugim retro stilovima. “Kulturno nasljeđe i bezvremenski dizajn pokazali su se vrijednima za adidas, jer su siluete spomenutih tenisica pogurale marku do dvoznamenkastog rasta na StockX-u 2023.”, piše u izvješću.
Prema izvješću, model Campus 00s je oborio sve rekorde ove godine sa “šesteroznamenkasto postotnim rastom na StockX-u u 2023., a kupci su potrošili više od 8 milijuna dolara na tenisice u samo posljednjih 12 mjeseci.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Porast prodaje i pretrage u 2023. doživio je i model Handball Spezial. “Ovo slijedi nastavak uspjeha adidasovih Samba i Gazelle silueta. Oba su stila zabilježila troznamenkasti rast trgovine u 2023., nadmašivši rekordnu prodaju u 2022.”, ističe StockX.
3. UGG i meteorski uspon uoči blagdanske sezone
UGG nastavlja dobru prodajnu sezonu, a StockX ističe da se nove boje i željeni stilovi brzo rasprodaju. Posebnu popularnost uživaju Tasman i Tazz papuče brenda. “Pretraživanja za Ugg Tasman i Ugg Tazz porasla su za 2340%, odnosno 1340%. UGG je na korak da postavi novi trgovinski rekord svih vremena u 2023. i ostaje najbrže rastuća robna marka u StockX-ovoj kategoriji obuće”, piše u izvješću.
4. Crocs i klasična klompa Mater
Crocs je u listopadu izbacio klompe Mater, slaveći lik iz Pixarovog filma iz 2006. Automobili. Crocs Mater Clog zabilježio je više trgovanja u tjednu od bilo koje druge Crocsove suradnje u povijesti StockX-a, a kupci su potrošili više od 465.000 dolara na klompe od njihovog puštanja u prodaju.
Crocs je također doživio uspjeh s drugim izdanjima inspiriranim likovima ove godine, uključujući Shreka i Hello Kitty. Sve tri suradnje uvrštene su među najuspješnija Crocs izdanja na StockX-u u 2023.
5. Mnogi su na listu želja na StockX-u stavili Jordan 1, Jordan 4 i Nike Dunk
Predstavljena upravo na vrijeme za blagdansku kupovinu, StockX Lista nova je značajka koja korisnicima daje mogućnost sastavljanja popisa proizvoda koje žele podijeliti s obitelji i prijateljima.
U nešto više od mjesec dana korisnici StockX-a napravili su više od 500.000 dodavanja na StockX liste. Prvi podaci pokazuju da su Jordan 4, Jordan 1 i Nike Dunk među najtraženijim tenisicama, dok su hoodice iz linije Fear of God’s Essentials vodeće u kategoriji odjeće.
6. Nove marke odjeće bilježe porast popularnosti
Osnovne marke ulične odjeće, kao što su Fear of God i Supreme, i dalje su među robnim markama odjeće kojima se najviše trguje na StockX-u, ali platforma bilježi ogroman interes za nove sudionike, kao što su Hellstar, Denim Tears i Trapstar.
Tako su pretraživanja za Hellstar porasla za više od 12.000%. Pretrage za Denim Tears porasle su za 535% u odnosu na prethodnu godinu, a brend – koji je 2019. osnovao Tremaine Emory – nedavno je rangiran među prvih pet najbrže rastućih brendova odjeće na StockX-u. Nadalje, pretraživanja londonskog brenda ulične odjeće Trapstar porasla su 199% u odnosu na prethodnu godinu na StockX-u.

Experience is the new name of the game. Rather than just sit and gawk at a screen with a tub of popcorn for steadily diminishing company, it’s all going to get more experiential and sensory from here. A fire rages on screen and your seat heats up; images of snowfall are paired with gusts of chilled air; an explosion in a film is felt like a blast. It’s almost like you are in the film, thanks to haptics and AR. The olfactory barrier may be breached too. A pepperoni pizza slice on screen could have you salivating in darkness because you would be able to smell the melted cheese and wood-baked smokiness.
Theatre of Sensation The year 2023 with its big-ticket releases and blockbusters has shown that theatrical watching is here to stay. But it will surely become more immersive. It will be like visiting a theme park with custom rides. Movie-watching will become more like a game with a narrative; the line between the two is going to be completely blurred.
This is like watching a movie with a game console, where you would be able to choose the language you would like to watch the film in, creating a personalised cinematic experience. Oculus Rift—a set of virtual reality goggles that lets you experience games as if you were in them—is currently working to reproduce real-world environments for movie-goers. You might even be able to choose your camera angle to view the action from a different angle on your device.
How about the narrative? AI sensors would read your mood, and accordingly change the plotline—if you are sad, it will end the film on a happy note, or if you don’t like a character, it will kill the character in the next scene. You basically get to make your own film. You could also insert an avatar of yourself into a film you like.
Over the Top The in-home movie-watching experience is also going to evolve. Picture this: You log into your preferred OTT platform but instead of you weeding through a haystack of content to come up with the needle you want, the AI-integrated system will be able to read what your mood is and throw up suggestions complementing the same. The system would be clued into personal social media accounts, making suggestions more targeted. Also, the content would be available from any corner of the world. Subtitles would be passé. A voice command would be enough to stream content in any required language. The Cloud may be the next streaming platform. One would be able to buy films and send them directly to your preferred cloud storage account to watch on the go without it interfering with the space on your device or without you having to log in to your OTT account. Also, OTT may go to the movies. Imagine watching a six-part Game of Thrones on the large screen with your friends every weekend? The mantra for the future will be: the bigger, the better.
Lights, Camera, Action For artistes, performing to a live audience may become more customized with the metaverse stepping into the picture. A musician or singer, for instance, could control lights and atmosphere as per the beats of the music or by using his voice. A low decibel would automatically bring on softer lights, while a loud pulsating music would bring in laser lights and colour pops, making the entire experience more immersive. Artistes like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and others will be performing in the metaverse, or at least their avatars would. You could even have these avatars perform exclusively for you and your loved ones on special occasions—a new take on personalised playlists and DJs. The audience would have the controls to change the stage props into whatever they like—Barbie world, tropic jungle or the galaxy. And with AI entering the picture, maybe artistes won’t be needed at all. Imagine having The Beatles belt out new songs in the future. The AI would be able to mimic their personal styles and curate new music.
Game On As far as gaming is concerned, it will be a marriage between the metaverse and customisation. Users would be able to control the narrative. Let’s say on reaching a certain point in the game, you would want to explore a side story, something not originally a part of the game, the player would be able to do so and personalise the game and how it proceeds further. For instance, rather than saving the princess in Mario, you would want to sell the castle, the interface would allow you to mould the game accordingly. The future won’t be anything; it’ll just be everything you want.
Go anywhere in the world where the Land Rover Defender built its reputation, and you will find original Defenders still adding to that reputation. Since Land Rover ended production and wasn’t able to secure exclusive rights to the design, not only has one of the most famous basic utility vehicles gotten even more popular in even more places, there are more people making more versions of it. In 2017, Jim Ratcliffe raised the floodgates in launching Ineos Automotive and the Grenadier SUV and Quartermaster pickup. In 2019, Poland’s Land Serwis began stamping Series 1 Defenders with original tooling and modern builds. In 2021, Connecticut’s Black Bridge Motors announced its Function restomod that has become the Mark IV and Mark X, these being Defender bodies on a JK-series Jeep Wrangler frame, powered by GM’s LS3, LT1, or LT4 engines. And now, for buyers who prefer to do such shopping west of the Mississippi, Utah’s Legend Motor Company is also working the Defender-Jeep mashup. The company’s Signature Series 001 sits a re-engineered Defender body on JK Wrangler underpinnings.
Whereas Black Bridge drapes the body-in-white with 3/8-inch aluminum panels, Legend hangs aluminum panels with custom Kevlar backing painted to match the exterior. The composite provides additional body protection, while Kevlar underbody panels lend protection to the vital bits. Engine choices are GM’s 6.2-liter LT4 V8 making 455 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, or the 6.2-liter LT4 V8 making 650 hp and 650 lb-ft, fed by a 22.5-gallon polyethelene fuel tank. An aluminum four-row radiator and two brushless electric fans help keep temperatures in control during summer outings. Either engine shifts through a GM eight-speed transmission, sending output through an Atlas II transfer case with a 3.8:1 low gear. A Fox 2.5-inch adjustable shocks with remote reservoirs flexes Dana 60 HD axles with ARB air lockers front and rear. The footwear poking beyond the flared arches is 17-inch steelies wrapped in 37-inch BFG Mud-Terrains.
We’ve seen enough restomods and SEMA Show cars to be familiar with the interior treatment: Custom Legend Motor gauges; a billet steering column that tilts; hand-sewn aniline leather for the front- and second-row buckets, and cargo-area jump seats; modern HVAC and Bluetooth audio; leather-trimmed floor mats, and so on.
Standard fit slides on a fabric top, bolts on a full-sized spare in back, and offers five colors. Price starts at $250,000. The real question is whether you want your license plates issued in Connecticut or Utah.
Long-term investors can buy the shares are Jubilant Pharmova (₹545.75) at current levels. The stock made a low of ₹268.60 in March and has risen well from there. It indicates that the downtrend has reversed. This rise from the above mentioned low has happened from a strong long-term trendline support. This also strengthens the case for a trend reversal. Immediate support is at ₹480. Below that ₹350-280 is a broad support zone. Looking at the big picture, Jubilant Pharmova share price can target ₹950-1,050 over the next one-two years. Investors with a minimum time-frame of one year can buy Jubilant Pharmova now. Accumulate on dips at ₹490. Keep a stop-loss at ₹285 initially. Trail the stop-loss up to ₹590 as soon as the stock moves up to ₹780. Move the stop-loss further up to ₹820 when the price touches ₹880. Exit the long positions at ₹950.
The fortnight that went by was dominated by Father’s Day campaigns showing how much moment marketing drives ad content these days.
Recipes for the perfect dad
Godrej came out with a witty campaign — #PerfectForDadRecipe — that pays an ode to fathers across the world and bats for new age sans-bias parenting. It highlights a father’s invaluable contributions in the kitchen and challenges stereotypes associated with parenting roles.
With the integration of Godrej products, the campaign showcases an exclusive Father’s Day dish, ‘The Misunderstood DadPlatter’. Conceptualised and executed by the Godrej Group’s Corporate Brand and Communications team along with Creativeland Asia, the campaign shows a father dishing up some quick snacks, sharing the recipe of both the dish as well as breaking biases.

SBI Life’s Father’s Day digital campaign #PapaHaiNa salutes every father who strives to rise above challenges and serve as an inspiration to his children.
The digital film opens showcasing Ritika; a 15-year-old daughter, passionate about football, who suffers a knee injury during a match, undergoes surgery and rehabilitation. Despite her father Deepak’s concerns around the risks involved, she secretly resumes training. The protective father rails at her only to be stumped when she says she learnt about commitment and determination from him.
Made by Dentsu Creative, the film’s standout point is the use of AI in the flashback sequences.
A watch is enough
Cheil India’s new film for Samsung shows how consumers can leave behind their phone when wearing the Galaxy Watch with LTE.
The film captures the story of a young man who is intrigued by the ability of the Galaxy Watch to function independently of a phone in a lively office setting.
His curiosity leads to a series of scenarios where he tests the connectivity limit of the smartwatch. From teleporting across the office to receiving messages in a taxi and streaming a live match on a raft, he is awed by the unbelievable connectivity. While standing next to an elephant in a remote jungle, he livestreams music on his smartwatch. In a dark cave, the smartwatch surprises him with its navigation capabilities, and he receives a call even in an empty desert.
The film certainly meets the campaign brief of telling the world that no matter how far you go without your phone, the Samsung’s smartwatch – the Galaxy Watch with LTE — will keep you connected.
ODRŽAVANJE motivacije može biti izazovno jer vanjski čimbenici i svakodnevni pritisci često priguše entuzijazam koji je potaknuo novogodišnje odluke. Međutim, praktične strategije mogu značajno povećati vjerojatnost pridržavanja novogodišnjih odluka, osobito onih koje se odnose na zdravlje i dobrobit.
U intervjuu za Hindustan Times, opstetričarka i ginekologinja, Ritu Sethi, predložila je nekoliko savjeta koji nam mogu pomoći da tijekom cijele godine ostanemo usredotočeni na svoje ciljeve i opće dobro.
1. Brinite o mentalnom zdravlju
Važno je osvijestiti si važnost održavanja mentalnog zdravlja. Kako bismo lakše upravljali stresom i brigama, možemo početi prakticirati meditaciju ili aktivnosti i hobije koji nas opuštaju.
2. Unosite dovoljno tekućine
Hidracija organizma ključna je za cjelokupno zdravlje. Kako bismo dnevno pili dovoljno vode, možemo koristiti višekratnu bocu kao podsjetnik.
3. Pripremajte obroke
Važno je da hranjive obroke planiramo unaprijed i razmislimo o pripremi obroka kako bismo osigurali zdrave prehrambene navike. Dostupnost zdravih opcija može spriječiti oslanjanje na manje hranjive alternative.
4. Redovito vježbajte
Kako bi tjelovježba postala pozitivan dio naše rutine, trebamo se baviti aktivnostima u kojima uživamo. Bilo da je riječ o hodanju, plesu ili jogi, važno je da pronađemo aktivnosti koje su u skladu s našim interesima.
5. Slavite male pobjede
Bez obzira koliko mali bili, važno je da slavimo svoje uspjehe. Prepoznavanje postignuća može pomoći u održavanju motivacije.

6. Učite iz zastoja
Zastoji i pauze prirodni su dio procesa. Umjesto da se obeshrabrimo, možemo ih iskoristiti kao prilike za učenje.
7. Uključite odluke u dnevnu rutinu
Uspješna provedba odluka često ovisi o njihovom integriranju u svakodnevnu rutinu. Što se odluke bolje uklapaju u naš životni stil, lakše ćemo ih se držati.
8. Vizualizirajte uspjeh
Vizualizacija može biti moćan alat za održavanje fokusa i motivacije. Trebamo pokušati stvoriti mentalnu sliku sebe kako postižemo svoje ciljeve.
Kako bismo ostali usredotočeni na održavanje svojeg zdravlja u novoj godini, prioritetno je brinuti o mentalnom zdravlju, uključiti tjelovježbu i slaviti male pobjede.
Važno je da odluke integriramo u dnevnu rutinu i vizualiziramo uspjeh kako bismo održali motivaciju. Slijedeći ove savjete, možemo ostati posvećeni poboljšanju svoje dobrobiti tijekom cijele godine.

South Africa fast-bowler Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out of the second Test against India starting on January 3 after developing pelvic inflammation during the first Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion. Cricket South Africa (CSA) said in a statement that Coetzee, 23, experienced discomfort in his pelvis, which got progressively worse while bowling on day three of the match. He underwent scans on Friday which revealed the extent of the injury. ‘India Are One of the Most Underachieving Cricket Teams in the World’ Says Former England Cricketer Michael Vaughan.
It added that head coach Shukri Conrad has opted to release Coetzee from the squad as a precautionary measure, with no replacement named for him in the squad. Apart from Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Nandre Burger, South Africa have other pace-bowling options in Lungi Ngidi and Wiaan Mulder.

HYDERABAD: This year, the food industry has experienced remarkable growth, propelled by the innovative contributions of inspiring young entrepreneurs and chefs. They’ve transformed the landscape by offering incredible culinary experiences and creating spaces where people can cherish quality moments with their loved ones. As the year draws to a close, we endeavoured to connect with a handful of these talented youngsters who embarked on their careers in the food industry and have achieved notable success.
Yash Trivedi and Kush Trivedi, Lord Of The Drinks
S S Deepak Pragana
Lord Of The Drinks, renowned for its exceptional ambiance, cuisine, and beverages, stands as the most frequented spot in the city. In our conversation with Yash Trivedi and Kush Trivedi, the Managing Directors of Innato Hospitality and the innovative minds behind LOTD, they share their deep passion for the industry. Yash emphasises, “Over the past year, numerous new establishments, including ours, have emerged, and in the coming six months, several more are set to open. The constant factor remains the quality of your offering. Our clientele spans diverse classes, posing a challenge in maintaining and captivating such a varied audience. While our name suggests a focus on drinks, we take immense pride in our culinary mastery. To dispel any misconceptions, our social media platforms predominantly showcase our food, which has undeniably become the cornerstone of LOTD.”
Surya Kumar
Further adding, “Reflecting on our journey, we embraced the LOTD brand in November 2019, and despite the hurdles posed by the pandemic, we transformed an empty piece of land in July 2022 into the vibrant establishment unveiled to the public in April 2023. Surpassing our initial expectations, the scale of success astonished us. Looking ahead, we aim for more intimate spaces, deviating from the grandeur. Plans are underway for a Pan Asian restaurant, alongside ventures into North Indian Mughlai cuisine. Additionally, we are crafting two unique brands, slated for launch in Hyderabad and Goa. This endeavour has always been a passion project, born from our unwavering commitment. Our journey involved learning the intricacies of the industry backend through collaborations with Swiggy and Zomato, culminating in the creation of LOTD. Ultimately, our vision and dedication have steered us toward realizing our dreams, propelling us toward new horizons in the ever-evolving culinary landscape.”
S S Deepak Pragana, Mirai Bar and Kitchen
S S Deepak Pragana, the Managing Director of Mirai Bar and Kitchen, shares insights into his journey within the food industry, “The year 2023 commenced with promising transformations that significantly impacted our lifestyles. However, as the year drew to a close, the F&B industry encountered challenges due to escalating competition, somewhat dampening its earlier successes. Over the past year, the F&B sector has dominated the start-up and investment landscape. Hyderabad, in particular, has witnessed an astonishing metamorphosis in its F&B scene, boasting world-class clubs and an array of global cuisines served in opulent settings. As a young entrepreneur juggling various business domains, the final three months of 2023 proved to be a whirlwind of experiences, providing abundant learning opportunities. This industry aligns closely with my age group, allowing me to leverage customer feedback effectively. Challenges in the start-up realm are invigorating, offering vital insights into market realities. Yet, within Hyderabad’s established F&B arena, the primary hurdles revolve around maintaining consistency, fostering customer relationships, and integrating feedback effectively. In an increasingly competitive landscape, possessing a unique selling proposition (USP) and preserving it consistently remains paramount.”
Surya Kumar, Executive Chef- Voila, Jubilee Hills
Surya Kumar, Executive Chef at Voila with a rich history of serving across diverse culinary destinations, reflects on this year’s experiences in the industry. “This year has been a treasure trove of memories, particularly while contributing to various food festivals in the culturally rich city of Hyderabad. My journey has been marked by exploring and innovating with diverse cuisines like Kashmiri, Telangana, Andhra, Punjabi, and Chettinadu, setting a benchmark for future culinary endeavours. Hyderabad, known for its vibrant cultural tapestry, offers an invaluable learning ground for local cuisines, providing insights crucial for future culinary investments and employment prospects within the hospitality industry. The city’s penchant for a lavish lifestyle, especially during weekends, presents an opportune arena for enhancing our culinary presentations. Investing in creative approaches to food presentation becomes pivotal in captivating guests across a spectrum of cuisines, thereby offering ample room for improvement and innovation,” the chef concludes.
Life Insurance Corporation of India’s has reduced its shareholding in Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd to 9.617 per cent from 11.701 per cent.

While shares of BHEL closed 0.44 per cent higher at ₹193.45, that of LIC edged up 0.79 per cent at ₹833.30 on the BSE.
Elon Musk recently challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a ‘çage fight’ — a fight in a cage I guess — and the result was declared on July 5th.
Zuck won hands down. He blew Musk — and his $44 billion social media toy, Twitter away. Last heard, Musk had sued Zuck for copying.
So, as most people probably know unless they’ve been living under a very large rock, the Instagram-fuelled Threads is where everyone is headed. It has disrupted social media, and how? Just when we were sharing memes on how Facebook had lost the plot, Zuck claims he got 10 million sign-ups in the first few hours, and he’s probably telling the truth. There were reports of 30 million users within two days.
Truth be told, when my boss asked me what I thought of Threads, I quickly replied “Boring. Seems like Twitter announcing something exciting and new in 2015.”
The big deal
Ad/Marketing/Comms folks often get the deeper motives wrong, miss the wood for the trees, and my reaction was classic evidence. Yes, it’s kind of boring, yes it’s very 2015, but — also yes — it sweeps the carpet from under Twitter’s feet. And that’s the real deal.
So here’s the dope, in my humble opinion; I am happy to be corrected as usual.
Elon Musk had taken a lot of wrong calls since he took over Twitter. These calls were erratic at best, the result being ad revenues on the platform are now down by 25 per cent, the Twitter Blue experiment backfired (every aunt and uncle can buy a Blue tick, obliterating perfectly good content), and Twitter lost 2/3rd of its value since Musk took over.
Zuck was in hot water too recently, if you remember. Metaverse is allegedly a major flop (those Pragati Maidan headsets were cool though), there were major privacy concerns — in fact Facebook had rebranded itself to Meta, to avoid some of the flack.
The perfect storm
It made perfect sense for Zuck to launch a full-frontal attack on Twitter. As my school football coach used to say, “Offence is the best defence.”
What also helped is Meta is allegedly good at copying: some claim they are good at cloning rival features, not unlike some Bollywood composers from the 90s. Insta Stories was allegedly influenced by Snapchat Stories, Reels was allegedly influenced by TikTok, and now it’s Threads/Twitter. Also, 87 per cent of Twitter is already on Insta, so that’s a brilliant headstart. Start-up CEOs throw parties when they reach 10,000 sign-ups, this is 10 million in a few hours. Cocaine on a silver spoon.
Oh and there’s also AI. This is money for jam for Meta, what with the online text data from Threads. Finally, here is why I think the advertising dollars will be flowing into Meta’s coffers:
Network: The integration with Instagram’s existing user base gives Threads a deep advantage by leveraging the massive user base and the network effect of Instagram.
Immersive: The visual nature of Instagram, combined with Threads’ focus on photos and videos, creates a more immersive and engaging messaging experience compared to Twitter.
Friends: The app’s focus on close friends and smaller groups allows for more intimate and private conversations, a delight for advertisers.
Will Twitter put up a fight? Funnily enough, they don’t need to. Twitter users (like me) are faithful. Only 4 per cent leave every year, so they are fine. And Insta users are as similar to Twitter users as chalk and cheese.
Elon could still have the last word.

TIJEKOM godina, definicije dijete i zdrave prehrane mijenjale su značenje. Ono što se nekoć smatralo zdravim, danas se zaobilazi u širokom luku. Istražili smo kakvih su se dijeta pridržavale najveće dive Hollywooda, poput Marilyn Monroe i Sophie Loren. Ako vas zanima, nastavite čitati.
Audrey Hepburn
U intervjuu za Yahoo! Health, Luca Dotti, sin Audrey Hepburn, otkrio je da je njegova mama obožavala hranu, ali da je bila posvećena zdravom životu. Nije pretjerivala s mesom, a povrće je činilo otprilike 80 posto njene prehrane.
Na lokalnoj tržnici u Švicarskoj kupovala je svježe, sezonske namirnice, a jedan dan u mjesecu jela je samo voće, povrće i jogurt te pila puno vode.
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor je 1987. izdala knjigu Elizabeth Takes Off, koja je postala bestseler. U njoj je opisala dijetu kojom je u 14 dana skidala tri kilograma. Njezina dijeta sastojala se od kajgane i slanine za doručak, kruha s maslacem od kikirikija za ručak te pečene piletine, graška, pire krumpira i kukuruznog kruha. U danu bi popila i jednu mimozu te jednu čašu Jack Danielsa.
Sophia Loren
Sophia Loren pridržavala se mediteranske prehrane koja obiluje svježim povrćem, tjesteninom i crnim vinom. Jednom prilikom rekla je: “Sve što vidite, dugujem špagetima.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Nije se sramila svojih oblina i znala je govoriti: “Radije jedem tjesteninu i pijem vino nego da nosim veličinu nula.”
Marilyn Monroe
Prema intervjuu za Pageant Magazine iz 1952., Monroe je rekla da se njezin doručak sastoji od dva sirova jaja umućena u šalicu vrućeg mlijeka. Za ručak je uživala u sladoledu, a za večeru bi pojela odrezak ili janjetinu uz nekoliko sirovih mrkvi.

Garbo se udala za Gaylorda Hausera koji je dijelio njezine specifične stavove o dijeti. Njihovo je vjerovanje bilo da ćete, ako jedete “čudesnu hranu”, doživjeti stotinu godina. Možda se pitate koja je to tajanstvena čudesna hrana? Pšenične klice, melasa i pivski kvasac.

SKLONIŠTE za životinje Adams County SPCA u Pennsylvaniji je prvi put u 47 godina za Božić bilo – prazno. To sklonište je inače utočište za mnoge napuštene ili izgubljene životinje.
“Malo je reći da smo više nego uzbuđeni! Osoblje i volonteri vrlo su naporno radili kako bi se pobrinuli za životinje i osigurali da budu usvojene u pravi dom! Trenutno ćemo uživati u ovom postignuću! Sretan Božić”, piše u objavi skloništa na Facebooku.

MASKE u maramici već su godinama popularne. Jednostavne su za korištenje, a mnogima godi držati na licu serum koji kasnije ne moraju ispirati. No, nemoguće je da jedna maramica pristaje baš svačijem licu, stoga se sami morate pobrinuti za to da je prilagodite.
Maska u maramici mora vam savršeno pristajati
“Uvijek trebate pripaziti da vaša maska u maramici dobro pristaje. Isprobajte ovaj trik”, stoji u videu, a Dani (@danicolexx) je pokazala kako ona reže dijelove maramice kako bi uistinu pokrila svaki milimetar svojeg lica. Ako je lice dobro pokriveno, znači da nema dijelova lica koje ne njegujete. U prijevodu, svoju masku u maramici koristite do maksimuma. Pazite da su škare čiste.
“Super je trik, ali te su maske tako hladne kad ih stavim na lice”, “Ovo je bilo korisno”, “Upravo sam ovo tražila, hvala ti”, “Dio za nos mi uvijek završi na ustima” i “Ja savijam dijelove koji strše” neki su od komentara ispod videa.
Odaberite pravu za sebe
Izdvojili smo nekoliko popularnih maski za lice u maramici različitih cjenovnih rangova te za različite potrebe kože. Ova Balea maska za lice povoljne je cijene, a namijenjena je intenzivnoj hidrataciji kože lica. Proizvod je veganski. Simple maske su također popularan povoljan izbor za vlasnike i vlasnice suhe kože.

New Delhi, Dec 29: All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is likely to be available for the second Test against South Africa, starting on January 3 at Cape Town. After South Africa thrashed a listless India by innings and 32 runs inside three days in the first Test at SuperSport Park on Thursday, hope flickered on the horizon with the news of Jadeja’s potential return for the crucial second Test. ‘India Are One of the Most Underachieving Cricket Teams in the World’ Says Former England Cricketer Michael Vaughan.
Jadeja’s absence in the opening Test, plagued by an upper-back spasm, left a void in the Indian lineup. The left-arm all-rounder sent down a few deliveries during the innings break on the third day at SuperSport Park, his movements betraying no lingering discomfort. It was a silent proclamation — he was on the mend.
The prospect of Jadeja’s return injected a renewed sense of vigour into the Indian camp, for they recognised the importance of the upcoming battle in Cape Town. The defeat in Centurion presents a daunting challenge for the team, and Jadeja’s potential availability for selection breathed life into their aspirations to square the two-match series.
The inclusion of Avesh Khan in the Test squad, who steps into the shoes of the injured Mohammed Shami, has added a subplot to India’s narrative in South Africa. Shami, battling an ankle injury, was left out of the team at the eleventh hour, leaving a void that Khan aimed to fill with his prowess. Avesh Khan Replaces Mohammed Shami in India’s Squad for 2nd Test against South Africa.
The stage is set for a riveting showdown in Cape Town, where India will seek redemption, and Jadeja, the virtuoso, aims to orchestrate a symphony of success. The journey from Centurion’s disappointment to Cape Town’s prospect held the promise of resilience, recovery, and the unpredictable allure of cricket.

MNOGI ljudi krajem godine ističu da bi u novoj godini voljeli smanjiti konzumaciju alkohola. Ako ste se ikada pitali što se događa s tijelom ako se u njega dugoročno ne unosi alkohol, skupina dijetetičara ima odgovor na to pitanje.
Poboljšana kvaliteta sna, mentalna jasnoća, bolji ten i funkcija jetre samo su neke od pozitivnih promjena koje su dijetetičari istaknuli.
Poboljšava se zdravlje srca
Apstiniranje od alkohola može dovesti do sniženja krvnog tlaka i smanjenog rizika od kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Istraživanje iz 2016. godine pokazalo je da oni koji izbjegavaju piti alkohol ili su znatno smanjili konzumaciju, mogu doživjeti poboljšanu funkciju srca, prenosi portal Eat This, Not That.
Ovu temu komentirala je i dijetetičarka Brittany Lubeck, koja kaže: “Istraživanja pokazuju da redovita konzumacija alkohola može dovesti do visokog krvnog tlaka, bolesti srca, moždanog udara i drugih srčanih problema. Stoga je logično da prestanak pijenja smanjuje rizik od srčanih oboljenja.”
Dodaje da treba istaknuti da se ove promjene uglavnom vide kod ljudi koji prekomjerno piju alkohol te da umjereno pijenje nije povezano s povećanim rizikom od srčanih oboljenja.
Jetra će vam biti “zahvalna”
Poznata je činjenica da prekomjerna količina alkohola štetno utječe na jetru. Ako se odreknete alkohola, dajete priliku jetri da se popravi i regenerira.
“Alkohol se metabolizira u jetri, a pretjerana konzumacija alkohola može dovesti do oštećenja jetre, uključujući masnu jetru, alkoholni hepatitis i cirozu”, objašnjava dijetetičarka Trista Best.
Primijetit ćete manjak kilograma
Za alkohol se često kaže da su to “prazne kalorije” jer nema nikakvu hranjivu vrijednost, piše Eat This, Not That. S time se složila i dijetetičarka Brittany Lubeck, koja kaže: “Ovisno o tome koliko alkohola pijete redovito, odricanje od njega može dovesti do gubitka težine.”
Dodaje da odricanje od alkohola često rezultira boljim izborom hrane jer mnogi ljudi imaju jaku želju za hranom dok piju, a pod utjecajem alkohola često posežu za nezdravom, masnom i visokokaloričnom hranom koja im ne koristi.

Poboljšat će se kvaliteta sna
Istraživanja su pokazala da alkohol može poremetiti ciklus spavanja, što dovodi do nekvalitetnog odmora. Kad se odreknete alkohola, obrasci spavanja često se normaliziraju, što dovodi do mirnijeg i pomlađujućeg sna koji ima brojne prednosti za cjelokupno zdravlje, prenosi Eat This, Not That.
“Alkohol može poremetiti ciklus spavanja, što dovodi do poteškoća s uspavljivanjem i spavanjem. Odricanjem od alkohola možete doživjeti poboljšanu kvalitetu i trajanje sna. Bolji san ima brojne zdravstvene dobrobiti, uključujući poboljšanu kognitivnu funkciju, regulaciju raspoloženja i općenito dobro”, objašnjava Best.
Ojačat će imunološki sustav
Uklanjanje alkohola može ojačati imunološki sustav, pridonijeti otpornosti na bolesti, bržem oporavku i snažnijem imunološkom otporu.
“Dugotrajna prekomjerna konzumacija alkohola povezana je sa slabim imunitetom. Takva konzumacija alkohola može povećati rizik od upale pluća, sepse, pa čak i raka. Stoga odricanje od pića može biti jedan od načina da se ojačate i poboljšate svoj imunološki sustav. Bolji imunološki sustav znači manji rizik od infekcija i određenih zdravstvenih stanja”, ističe Lubeck.
Poboljšanje mentalnog zdravlja
Alkohol ima velik utjecaj na mentalno zdravlje. Zato apstinencija od alkoholnih pića može dovesti do značajnih poboljšanja mentalnog zdravlja.
Kako objašnjava Best, “alkohol je depresiv koji može negativno utjecati na mentalno zdravlje. Prestanak konzumiranja alkohola može dovesti do poboljšanja raspoloženja, smanjenja tjeskobe i boljeg općeg mentalnog blagostanja. Može i doprinijeti boljem upravljanju stresom.”
Povećanje energije
Prema studiji objavljenoj u časopisu Sleep and Vigilance, velika konzumacija alkohola značajno povećava dnevnu pospanost sljedećeg dana. Gotovo 35 posto sudionika izjavilo je da se osjećalo usporeno ili izgubilo interes za ostajanjem budnim nakon što su noć prije pili, prenosi portal Eat This, Not That.
Moguće poboljšanje probave
Čak i u relativno malim dozama, alkohol može negativno utjecati na probavu mijenjajući izlučivanje želučane kiseline i ometajući sposobnost probavnih enzima da funkcioniraju i razgrađuju hranu. Istraživanja su pokazala da kombiniranje alkohola s obrocima može usporiti probavu, dok prekomjerna proizvodnja želučane kiseline može iritirati želudac.

MACA Sabija, od milja Sabka, jedna je od najpoznatijih mačaka na balkanskom TikToku.
Njezin vlasnik Makaki udomio ju je prije nekoliko godina, a tijekom 2023. godine Sabija je zbog svojih nestašluka, neposlušnosti i žestokog karaktera postala hit na TikToku. Svom vlasniku pravi probleme po stanu, grebe ga, grize, penje se na luster i komodu i uništava namještaj, ali on je obožava. Obožavaju je i tisuće ljudi na internetu, pa Sabku i Makakija na TikToku prati 225 tisuća ljudi.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
SADA kada smo stigli do kraja 2023. godine, vrijeme je da bacimo pogled na neke od uređaja i dodataka koje je Apple povukao s tržišta tijekom proteklih 12 mjeseci.
iPhone Mini
U rujnu, nakon lansiranja serije iPhone 15, Apple je okončao proizvodnju iPhonea 13 mini, označavajući time kraj ere iPhonea mini. Iako je obnovljena verzija iPhonea 13 mini trenutno dostupna putem Appleove online trgovine u SAD-u, ovaj model s 5.4-inčnim zaslonom i tankim okvirima bio je favorit među poklonicima manjih pametnih telefona. Međutim, istraživanja tržišta ukazuju na nisku prodaju u usporedbi s drugim iPhone modelima. Prošle godine Apple je odlučio preskočiti izdanje iPhonea 14 mini, zadržavajući iPhone 13 mini kao pristupačniju opciju.
Sada najmanji iPhone u ponudi je potpuno novi iPhone SE s 4.7-inčnim zaslonom, ali sa zastarjelim dizajnom koji uključuje tipku Home i deblje okvire. Šuška se da će sljedeći iPhone SE imati veći zaslon od 6.1 inčem.
13-inčni MacBook Pro
U listopadu, tijekom događaja “Scary Fast”, Apple je povukao 13-inčni MacBook Pro iz ponude. Ovaj laptop je nosio dizajn star sedam godina, a posebno je značajno što je bio posljednji Mac opremljen Touch Barom umjesto tradicionalnim fizičkim funkcijskim tipkama.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Učinkovitu zamjenu za 13-inčni MacBook Pro predstavlja početni model 14-inčnog MacBook Proa s ugrađenim M3 čipom.
MagSafe baterija
U rujnu, nakon predstavljanja serije iPhone 15, Apple je obustavio proizvodnju MagSafe Battery Packa. Objavljen 2021. godine, ovaj dodatak magnetski se pričvršćivao na stražnju stranu iPhonea 12 i novijih, pružajući dodatne sate trajanja baterije. Unatoč tome što su svi modeli iPhonea 15 sada opremljeni USB-C priključkom, baterija i dalje koristi Lightning priključak za punjenje, čineći ju zastarjelom.
MagSafe Duo punjač
U rujnu, nakon predstavljanja serije iPhone 15, Apple je prekinuo proizvodnju MagSafe Duo Chargera. Lansiran 2020. godine, MagSafe Duo Charger bio je sklopiva podloga za punjenje koja je sadržavala MagSafe punjač za iPhone te magnetski paket za punjenje Apple Watcha. Baš kao i MagSafe Battery Pack, ova podloga koristila je Lightning priključak za punjenje.
Kožni dodaci
U rujnu je Apple obustavio prodaju svojih kožnih dodataka, uključujući kožne maske za iPhone, MagSafe Wallet, remenčiće za Apple Watch i ostale proizvode. Ova odluka predstavlja korak tvrtke prema odgovornijem pristupu prema okolišu. Umjesto kože, Apple je uveo novi materijal FineWoven tkanine za svoje dodatke, ističući da ima “značajno manji” ekološki utjecaj u usporedbi s kožom. Međutim, kupci su izrazili nezadovoljstvo zbog toga što su nove maske za iPhone sklonije ogrebotinama i mrljama.

Doing these roundups is always fun. Flipping through the pages of stories written in a year is kind of like going through a photo album. And this year was full of some wild memories driving amazing cars in astonishing places. I even ticked off a couple of bucket-list items, and was happy to bring you along for the ride. So for one more time this year, let’s play the hits.
Super Subarus in Sicily: Tracing the Targo Florio in the BRZ tS and WRX TR
Sliding in at the end of the year was a wild whirlwind of a trip on one of the most historic driving routes in the world. And it turns out that the BRZ and WRX are just about perfect for the job, or any sporty job.
Daikoku Parking Area in Tokyo is a must-visit for car fans
This was easily my favorite thing I did this year, and it came at the end of a really excellent week in Tokyo. For years I’ve wanted to visit Daikoku PA, as it’s a hot spot for car enthusiasts to meet and show off in the Tokyo area. It didn’t disappoint. Great cars and meeting a friend all made it a shoe-in for my highlight of the year.
We test Toyota’s manual EV prototype for the first time, and it’s freaky
Part of that fantastic week in Tokyo involved experiencing the wildest technological magic trick I’ve experienced. An EV, with a single speed, was drivable, and convincing, as a six-speed manual internal combustion car. I don’t know what practical use there is for it, but it was cool to experience.
Toyota Neo Steer Prototype First Drive Review: Feet-free motoring is pretty groovy
Another fascinating prototype I drove from Toyota was one that was fully hand-controlled. It worked impressively well, and seems like a great option for people with limited use of their legs. It also was my first experience with fast-ratio steer-by-wire, and I came away quite liking it.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Review: One of the best arcade racers gets better
I’m bringing this up because this was my favorite racing game I played this year. Yes, I enjoyed it more than “Forza Motorsport.” You should give it a try.
Toyota EPU is a Maverick-sized electric pickup we really want
Toyota, I want this. You need to build it. That’s why it’s on my list. Build. It.
VW ID. GTI has lines that connect it to … an Oldsmobile
Did you know the ID. GTI (and past GTIs) have some interesting design inspirations? Now you will. And we’re glad to report this one is already confirmed for production.
Audi R8 Quattro Final Drive: A fast farewell
It was very brief (just two laps), but ripping an R8 around such a famous track as Laguna Seca (chasing a multiple Le Mans champion) was an unforgettable (and obviously fun) experience.
McPherson College’s first Pebble Beach entry wins second in class
I graduated from McPherson College, and I was glad to have been able to see the college bring home an award from Pebble Beach. A lot of work went into that car.
1965 Apollo GT from ‘The Love Bug’ going to auction
Short of an actual (or really good replica) “Herbie,” the yellow Apollo GT or “Thorndyke Special” would be the car I’d want from one of my all-time favorite movies, “The Love Bug.” It was fun to dream a little, and to learn that one of the movie cars still exists.
2023 VW Jetta Review: Quality commuter for the cost-conscious
It feels like the number of really affordable cars is shrinking quickly, especially fun ones. So it was a wonderful surprise to discover that a basic Jetta with a manual transmission is a cheerful little budget machine, and one with enough refinement to feel like it’s not a budget machine.
Hyundai reimagines pixel art with Ioniq 6 design details
Auto shows often give us a chance to get familiar with cars that might not have reached our driveways for testing. And that time allowed me to discover some of the more sneaky design details of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, as well as test some theories I had about all those little pixel squares everywhere. And then later, I learned that the 6 is one of my favorite E-GMP cars.
The Friday morning market opened with a decline, following the positive start earlier in the week. NSE Nifty was down by 0.21 per cent, or 46.55 points, at 21,732, while the BSE Sensex was at 72,229.87, down by 0.24 per cent or 178 points.
A total of 3,089 stocks were actively traded, with 1,852 advancing, 1,145 declining, and 92 remaining unchanged at 10 am on Friday. Additionally, 169 stocks reached a 52-week high and 10 stocks reached a 52-week low.
Makarand M Joshi, Founder of MMJC & Associates, a corporate compliance firm, shared insights on the Consultation Paper on Amendments to SEBI Regulations regarding the verification of market rumours. He clarified, “SEBI’s proposal on the verification of market rumours would help bring parity to the markets. The new initiative, primarily aimed at price protection, introduces a mechanism to mitigate the impact of speculative rumours or media discussions on stock valuations before official company announcements.”

SEBI’s proposals ensure that if market movements are influenced by unofficial information, the period during which this information is confirmed by the company will be excluded from the share valuation formula.
Essentially, what began as a measure for rumour verification and investor protection has evolved into a complementary framework certifying the legitimacy of market deals. These proposals by SEBI would help curtail mischiefs played with respect to market rumours.”
Top gainers on the NSE at 10 am include Tata Consumer Products Ltd (3.23 per cent), Tata Motors Ltd (2.14 per cent), Eicher Motors Ltd (1.22 per cent), Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (0.70 per cent), and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (0.42 per cent).

The BSE SmallCap was up by 0.31 per cent and the MidCap was up by 0.22 per cent, indicating gains.
Imagine a platform where you can match brushstrokes with the top exponents of Pichwai, Phad, Bhil and other folk art forms. Chartered accountant turned entrepreneur Kartik Gaggar’s online art learning start-up Rooftop allows you to do just that.
Through its live workshops and curated courses, Rooftop has organised over 2,000 art experiences, featuring the expertise of more than 2,100 master artists. It has a membership of 42,800+ participants hailing from over 20 countries worldwide and opened up a new canvas of learning for art enthusiasts.
A tour of art
How did a CA who articled with PwC get into the space of art? Gaggar says he harboured a profound passion for the arts from a young age. In the sea of online learning ventures, he spotted a gap in the realm of Indian arts and crafts education, and decided to bridge the gap between aspiring learners and the cultural custodians.
At first, he initiated a Facebook page where like-minded individuals could partake in immersive ‘art experiences’ — city walks and art tours that unveiled the hidden artistry thriving within localities. At one point, he held such walks in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur.
During the course of his research, Gaggar embarked on a transformative journey, engaging with artists and started documenting their creative processes. This odyssey eventually birthed the ‘Circle Community’ in 2020.
However, destiny had its own plans as the world faced the pandemic. Gaggar swiftly adapted to the circumstances. “I consider those periods as moments of growth,” he reflects.
Henceforth, his brainchild was christened ‘Rooftop’ — a place where families often congregate to learn, play, eat or chat. The platform’s original vision was to “establish an exclusive community that united local artisans, providing them with a platform to showcase their artistry.”
Rooftop app
Gaggar says that Rooftop app is owned by a bootstrapped company called Slo-Mo Experiences. The platform was launched with an investment of ₹2.5 crore and ever since its launch, it has witnessed a 5x year-on-year growth.
“In January 2022, Rooftop launched the updated version of its app. In the first six months of FY23-24, the app aims to have a turnover of ₹4-5 crore and then scale it further,” says a company statement.
Rooftop operates on a subscription and pay-as-you-go model for its art workshops. Gaggar elaborates on the revenue streams, stating, “Apart from collaborating with businesses for workshops, our primary source of income stems from course sales.” He highlights the prominence of ‘Maestro courses’ as one of their flagship offerings.
“These maestro courses, meticulously curated by award-winning veteran artists, boast over 10 hours of recorded content. By embarking on these courses, participants not only master traditional art forms but also immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of tradition and culture underlying them,” Gaggar reveals.
Moreover, Rooftop actively engages with corporate entities operating under a B2B model that centres around fostering employee engagement through art-related activities.
Unleashing potential
Since its inception, Rooftop has garnered interest not only from art enthusiasts but also from prominent governmental bodies such as the Tourism Department and the Ministry of Culture.
As part of the ‘Startup India Innovation Week 2022’, Gaggar presented policy recommendations in the Travel and Tourism sector on the theme ‘Local to Glocal’ in a virtual meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Rooftop has even signed MoUs with Manipal University, Jaipur and collaborated with top institutes like Sir JJ School of Arts, Nottingham Trent University, UK, and Jamia Millia Islamia University, Delhi. “We even conducted workshops for Google and have collaborations with Genpact and Bain Capital,” Gaggar adds.
He envisions a platform that empowers art lovers to access immersive art workshops on-the-go while simultaneously enabling artisans to forge alternative sources of income. “Our future endeavours aim to establish art as an asset class model,” says Gaggar.
OSIM pridržavanja rutine vježbanja koja sagorijeva masnoću, postavljanje zdrave prehrane kao prioriteta jedna je od najvažnijih stvari koje trebamo učiniti ako želimo skinuti tvrdokorno salo s trbuha.
Zdrava prehrana nije samo brojanje kalorija i ograničavanje. Postoji mnogo zdravih, hranjivih opcija koje možemo jesti svaki dan, dok istovremeno radimo na ravnijem trbuhu. Dijetetičarke, Trista Best i Krutika Nanavati, otkrile su dva najbolja izbora.
1. Grčki jogurt
Prepun je probiotika, proteina i mnogih blagodati koje nam mogu pomoći da smršavimo.
“Grčki jogurt je nutritivan, prepun proteina i probiotika. Ove korisne komponente rade zajedno kako bi poboljšale zdravlje crijeva i pospješile metabolizam, što dovodi do gubitka težine i smanjenja tvrdoglavog sala na trbuhu”, rekla je Nanavati za SheFinds.
Kada odaberemo takvu visokoproteinsku hranu, veća je vjerojatnost da ćemo ostati zadovoljni tijekom dana i izbjeći prejedanje kasnije. Protein je također važan kada je riječ o održavanju mišića i metabolizmu, a oboje nam može pomoći da se približimo tijelu iz snova.

2. Zob
Ovo je još jedna savršena hrana za doručak koja je pogodna za mršavljenje. Ne možemo pogriješiti sa zobi, koja nudi mnoštvo dobrobiti, osobito ako želimo skinuti koji kilogram. “Zob je izvrstan izvor cjelovitih žitarica i sadrži mnogo vlakana i hranjivih tvari, što je čini zdravim obrokom ili međuobrokom”, kaže Best.
“Jedenje zobi fantastičan je način za postizanje sitosti kako ne biste pretjerali s prerađenim grickalicama između obroka”, dodala je. Poput jogurta, zobene pahuljice također možemo prilagoditi zdravim dodacima.
“Neki od najboljih dodataka i mješavina za zobene pahuljice uključuju orašaste plodove, cimet, borovnice, jagode i banane. Slane zobene pahuljice mogu se učiniti zdravima dodavanjem rajčica, jaja, gljiva i špinata”, predložila je Best.
Dakle, odabir ovih namirnica može pomoći u smanjenju trbušnog sala. Integracija ovih namirnica u uravnoteženu prehranu, uz redovitu tjelesnu aktivnost, ključna je za postizanje cilja.

KAD NEKI psi vide svoj odraz u ogledalu, oduševljeni su. Međutim, jedno užasnuto štene nije moglo podnijeti pomisao na uljeza kojeg je ugledalo pa je odmah nasrnulo na njega. Vlasnica je bila uzbuđena što je postavila ogledalo u svoj dom, ali njezin pas Sarge imao je druge planove.

U urnebesnom videu na TikToku koji je objavila korisnica pod imenom @allthings_sarge, ogromno ogledalo završilo je na podu s nekoliko velikih pukotina u sredini. Uz snimku se našalila kako nestašni američki buldog “misli da je vidio drugog psa” te da ga je jednostavno “morao otjerati”.

MUMBAI: Streamer Netflix on Thursday announced that the crime comedy series “Guns & Gulaabs”, created by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, will be returning for a second season.
Netflix shared the news of the show’s renewal for the sophomore season through a teaser video which the streamer posted on its social media pages.
“Khali haath nahi, Guns & Gulaabs ka naya season leke aaye hain #GunsAndGulaabs Season 2 is coming only on Netflix,” Netflix said.
Actors Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav and Gulshan Devaiah are all returning for the second season.
Set in the 1990s, Guns & Gulaabs follows the story of a lovestruck mechanic Paana Tipu (Rao), a reluctant heir to a ruling gang Chhota Ganchi (Gourav), an honest officer-turned-agent-of-chaos Arjun Verma (Salmaan), and a killer called 4-cut Atmaram (Devaiah).
Rao and Devaiah also shared the announcement video on their Instagram pages.
“Aapka itna pyaar paana, Tipu ke liye prem patra se kam nahi tha.
Tipu ka jalwa dekhna mat bhoolna! #GunsAndGulaabs Season 2, is coming only on Netflix,” Rao wrote.
Devaiah posted, “7 janmo jitna pyaar 4 cut atmaram ko dene ke liye bohot bohot shukriya. #Guns&Gulaabs Season 2 coming soon!”
The show’s first season came out on Netflix in August this year. It also featured late actor Satish Kaushik in a pivotal role.
Since its launch in 2018, the fourth-generation Suzuki Jimny has been modified by a long list of tuners from all over the world. We’ve seen it turned into a mini Ford Bronco, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class lookalike, a clone of the original Land Rover Defender, and a small pickup truck. The latest Jimny-based builds explore a completely different avenue by giving the off-roader a look inspired by rally cars from the 1980s.
Designed by Japanese tuner DAMD for the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon, the builds are called Little 5 and Little Delta, respectively. The name says it all: the Little 5 is a tribute to Renault’s 5 Turbo and 5 Turbo 2 and the Little Delta draws inspiration from the Lancia Delta Integrale. While both models were hatchbacks, the retro look works surprisingly well thanks in part to the Jimny’s small footprint and boxy proportions.
Both builds receive the same basic body kit, which includes a deeper front bumper that looks much closer to the 5’s than to the Delta’s and flared wheel arches, and they ride on OZ Racing wheels. DAMD fitted the Little 5 with a redesigned front end that brings rectangular lights and Renault’s diamond-shaped logo, “NON-TURBO” decals on the doors for a touch of humor, and a roof-mounted spoiler. Blue paint adds a finishing touch to the look. Painted red, the Little Delta gets a specific grille with four round lights and bright trim as well as a specific spoiler.
DAMD hasn’t released interior photos. It looks like the Little 5 uses standard Jimny seats while the Little Delta receives front sport seats.
Technical specifications haven’t been released, either, but we have a decent idea of what’s under the hood. Suzuki offers the Jimny with two engines: a turbocharged, 658-cubic-centimeter three-cylinder fitted to base models in Japan and a naturally-aspirated, 1.5-liter four-cylinder offered in the rest of the world. The decals on the Little 5’s doors suggest power comes from the latter, which develops 102 horsepower.
We don’t know what’s next for either concept, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see both body kits join DAMD’s catalog in the coming months.
We met Sushanth Pai, Chief Financial Officer, Matrimony.com (Matrimony).
Takeaways: 10–12 per cent revenue growth (volume led) is possible in the future and will be driven by new initiatives like ‘Jodii’ and the launch of a ‘serious relationship’ platform; Marriage service could breakeven on a cash-basis by Q4-FY24 and Matrimony is working on improving the product; In case there is consolidation in the matchmaking industry, Matrimony.com will be only open to be an acquirer should an opportunity present itself; and The legal disputes with Google are likely to continue in the near term, which will result in fresh provisions every quarter.
To achieve double digit growth, a lot of initiatives have been taken and they have focussed on continuous innovation.
As a market leader in the matchmaking space (over 60 per cent share), they will continue to raise the issue of high service fee in relevant forums. Maintain ADD with a TP of ₹635.
Key risks: Weaker-than-expected conversion of active profiles into paid subscriptions; slower-than-expected scale-up in marriage services; and lowerthan expected recovery in the matchmaking business.
At the bustling Biggies Burger outlet in Chennai’s Nexus Vijaya Mall, burgers spiced with distinct flavours are flying off the grill. People seem to be particularly digging the Tandoori Chicken fillet burger, loaded with rich sauce and succulent grilled patties.
The founder of the chain, 34-year-old Biraja Prasad Rout, sits at one of the tables, and traces the origin of Biggies Burger back to 2011. What began as a small kiosk in Bengaluru has grown into a brand that aspires to a revenue of ₹100 crore this fiscal. It all started when Rout, a burger fan, used to commute 15 to 18 kilometres every time he craved an authentic one. Rout belongs to the camp that swears by grilled burgers rather than pan-fried or broiled. Tired of the ubiquitous fried patties, he set up his own kiosk for grilled burgers.
Also, in a space dominated by MNC giants that quickly adapted to the diverse palate of India, Biggies wanted to do something different: build a quintessentially Indian grilled burger QSR (quick service restaurant) instead of ‘Indianising’ its products to fit the market.
The right dressing
Emphasis on localisation, and offline, customer-centric branding were the two main factors in the brand’s growth, says Rout.
“From day one, we wanted to be a pan-India brand. Consumer behaviour changes across States, but we cannot localise the menu everywhere, as it would be difficult to scale up. The menu we have is designed to cater 80-90 per cent of the Indian population. It has to be standardised, while bringing diversification in the product segment,” he explains.
Biraja Prasad Rout, Founder, Biggies Burger
For Biggies, the goal is simple: to appeal equally to the taste buds of someone in, say, Chennai, Kolkata or Punjab. A central focus for the homegrown company is a crafted customer experience that it aims to achieve across its 130 outlets. Its target demographic is millennials and children, and those looking for nutritious, grilled burgers instead of the typically deep-fried burgers elsewhere.
The Biggies Vibe
All the Biggies outlets are defined by the bold white and yellow brand colours, centralised music and videos – it’s a uniform look at every store.
The chain’s strategy has been not to play around with pricing, but around product. Grilled patties are more a fine dine concept rather than QSR, stresses Rout.
On pricing, Rout believes that it is “a game of volume and right product pricing mapping.” As the company is trying to make specialty grilled burgers affordable for Indian consumers, the pricing is highly competitive in comparison to MNCs.
The tech savvy entrepreneur who has worked with IT major Infosys in the past also plans to integrate technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) in the outlets. From temperature-controlled counters to maintain the warmth of burgers, to auto-fryers that only need the cooking instructions fed via a touch screen, Biggie’s kitchens are all high on tech. Beyond saving staff time, these also ensure uniform temperature and taste for the products served.
Going forward, Rout wants to make convenience another big USP — plans are in place to build an in-house app and self-ordering kiosks.
In September 2022, Biggies, that started as a bootstrapped company, raised ₹5.5 crore in seed funding, which will be used to fuel expansion. For the short term, expansion in Tier-1 cities remains a prime goal.
Rout said, “We recently signed up a franchise in Singapore but for the next three years, we plan to concentrate on India. We expect Tier-1 cities to be a ₹400 crore market, so this will be a primary focus.”
Only one Biggies outlet is company-owned and company-operated. Fourteen are franchise-owned and franchise-operated outlets, and the rest are franchise-owned, company-operated outlets. According to Mithun Ponnusamy, Tamil Nadu Master Channel Partner for Biggies Burger, the response in Chennai, where the brand has four outlets, has been good, because customers are looking for a “new taste.”
UOBIČAJENI alergeni u hrani poznati su pod nazivom velikih osam. To su mlijeko, jaja, ribe, školjke, orašasti plodovi, kikiriki, pšenica i soja.
Ovi alergeni mogu se naći u brojnim jelima i zato bi oni koji su na njih alergični trebali biti prilično oprezni pri kupnji i konzumaciji hrane.
Mlijeko
Od mlijeka se ne prave samo sirevi, ono se može ušuljati i u brojne druge namirnice pod imenima kazein i sirutka. Srećom, postoje biljne alternative, poput kremastog zobenog mlijeka i ukusnog bademovog.
Jaja
Jaja su skrivena u kolačima, majonezi, čak i u nekim tjesteninama. U nekim jelima jaja mogu zamijeniti sjemenke lana ili banane.
Riba
Riba je često zvijezda kulinarskih delicija, ali potencijalni negativac za alergičare.
Školjke
Školjke mogu izazvati prilično žestoke alergijske reakcije.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Orašasti plodovi
Orašasti plodovi skrivaju se u jelima u kojima ih ponekad uopće ne očekujete, primjerice, u čokoladama, kolačima, čak i u salatama.
Kikiriki
Kikiriki može biti sastojak umaka i deserta.
Pšenica
Pšenica je dio kruha i tjestenine, no kod alergičara može uzrokovati nelagodu i bol. Okrenite se bezglutenskim alternativama.
Soja
Na kraju ovog popisa je soja, koja je također poznata po tome da izaziva alergijske reakcije.

New Delhi, January 13: They say that marriages are made in heaven but the celebration of this commitment of a lifetime takes place on this earth and while we are at it why not make this celebration a memory worth remembering for a lifetime by adding all the pomp and show!
Indian weddings are the powerhouse of traditions and grandeur, from the scrumptious spread of rich Indian food to the splendour mix of colours, glitter, and opulent floral décor. Indian weddings are quite packed with flavour and uniqueness. Every bride has dreamed of her wedding; from the kind of flowers for the décor to the red Sabyasachi lehenga, she has planned it all. But what is the point of all this planning if you can’t document your favourite moment and treasure it for years to relive your big day?
Introducing Akshit Garg, also known as akshitphotography, the man behind the lens, well-known for his work in the country.
He has become an established photographer in the wedding industry, and believe us when we say the man has seen the revolving world of the wedding industry. From cheesy to cool, he has seen it all.
He has been an experienced wedding photographer for 7+ years, yes, you read that right! He has filmed more than 400 weddings. Recalling his earliest memory with a camera, “My parents and I used to travel a lot, every year, we’d take a family trip for 20-25 days. Being in nature calmed me a lot, it healed my inner self that’s when my father gifted me a Nikon D-40, and I fell in love with the concept of photography. Pursuing photography was a difficult move for me, and a lot of anxiety came with it, but taking one step at a time works a lot”.
Asked him about how it all began, and Akshit was quick to respond, “I was 17 when I had my first exhibition, I was the youngest photographer there, and my work comprised multiple genres of photography. It also consisted of my 2 landscape time-lapse videos; one of them was of The Great Himalayas, and the other one was when I went on a trip to Leh-Ladakh. This is where I got recognition from the media and other artists. The exhibition paved the way for my career as a photographer.”
Akshit’s photos and videos grab attention for their grandeur and story. The man has created more than 220 wedding films for real-life couples, including his association with the Ambanis! When asked about it, Akshit said, “I was 18 when I got a call from DNA Mumbai asking me to shoot Isha Ambani’s sangeet ceremony in Udaipur, and that wedding was the golden kick my career needed as a wedding photographer.”
Young mind powered by the zeal for work. When we asked Akshit about the advice he would like to give to young enthusiasts, he said-
“Start working on your portfolio at an early age; your work speaks for you, your first project won’t give you higher pay, but it will add to your experience. Along with your portfolio, start investing in your kit, and by working as a freelancer, you can gain commercial and professional knowledge along with learning about various aspects of client handling”.
When asked about his rise to fame and how he feels about it, Akshit recalls, “Following your passion isn’t easy. 96% of the time, you’re bound to fail and fall, but what matters the most is how you get back up and take that one step you were most afraid to take.”
Akshit captures love and bonding instead of just a keepsake memory and focuses on the love shared between two individuals and then weaves their story into something magical.
For now, Akshit lives out of a suitcase and is always on the move to capture new stories and take up new challenges.

Snimku je na Facebooku lajkalo preko 60 tisuća ljudi. “Ovo mi je popravilo dan”, “Životinje su pune ljubavi”, “Otopilo mi se srce”, samo su neki od oduševljenih komentara.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola described his side’s Wednesday’s 3-1 victory at Everton as ‘a massive win” as City’s newly crowned world champions returned to Premier League action with a vengeance. Five days on from being crowned FIFA Club World Cup champions in Saudi, City staged a wonderful second half fightback at Goodison Park to claim a crucial three points. The victory saw City fight back from 1-0 down on the road for a second successive league game and was enough to lift us back into the top four. Phil Foden cancelled out Jack Harrison’s first half opener for the hosts before a Julian Alvarez penalty and a late strike from Bernardo Silva sealed the win. Everton 1–3 Manchester City, Premier League 2023–24: Citizens Rallies for Win Against Toffees To Get EPL Campaign Back on Track.
Reflecting on the match, the City boss said: “It was a massive win for us after where we came back from Saudi Arabia as world champions. We were really pleased with how we reacted and it proved again how special this group of players is and the mentality that we have in our bones.
“We want to be there. I know we are not top of the league, a lot of things are going to happen. I never saw a Premier League where every game the teams down low and mid table can beat everyone. There will be a lot of surprises and the thing is to be there. We are really pleased for the victory except to concede a goal after we played really good. But the second half we increased our rhythm, played to the wingers and it was really really good,” said Guardiola.
Guardiola also had words of praise for Foden after the England international delivered another man of the match display capped by his superb second half leveller. But he insisted that there was even more to come from the 23-year-old. Erling Haaland Wins IFFHS Player of the Year 2023 Award; Beats Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
“We forget sometimes how young Phil is. The talent is there: winger, striker, drop in, he can play in attacking midfielder and without options from Erling we need a sense of goal. Otherwise, we don’t have many players with a real sense of goal that’s why how he’s playing is so important. We’re pleased. Don’t forget he’s young and has lots to improve to be top class for many years,” said the 52-year-old manager.

This year, we saw big stars make a bigger splash—with Rajini ascertaining his superstardom with Jailer, Sunny Deol decimating the box office with Gadar 2, Dharmendra bringing a nostalgic warmth to Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, and Mammootty redefining stardom with films like Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam.
However, 2023 was also the year when we saw promising actors finally getting to unleash their full potential, established stars crossing state lines to sweep a new army of fans, and debutants charming the hearts of millions. As the year winds down, let us take a look at all the breakout talents from across India, who made a lasting impression with their stellar performances this year.
Tamil
Preethi Asrani (Ayothi)
In Mandhira Moorthy’s Ayothi, Preethi played the role of the deceased woman’s daughter, Shivani, who is the older sister to a brother. She was also grieving her mother’s unexpected demise but had to take up the responsibility of being her brother’s second mother. While Preethi aced her part as a timid and naive Shivani throughout the film, she also had one strong scene to show her full potential. In a scene where her father insists on following rituals even during a tough time, she strongly calls him out for mistreating her mother when she was alive and requests him to at least let her rest in peace. That scene in particular, and her portrayal of an innocent grieving motherless teenage girl, got her name out, as she deserves.
Hindi
Bobby Deol (Animal)
What’s in a screen time? Although brief, Bobby Deol delivered a bone-chilling performance as the antagonist in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. His entry song (‘Jamal Kudu’) became a fodder for social media memes and reels. Without a single word of dialogue, Lord Bobby’s act made a lot of noise. It was an exceptionally benevolent year for the Deols. The in-house intellectual Abhay Deol was sombre and ruminative in Trial By Fire, while Dharmendra was warm and cuddly as the lovelorn grandfather in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. And let’s just say Sunny Deol’s Tara Singh wreaked some havoc at the box office with Gadar 2. Sweet or sour, the year was surely Deolicious.
Wamiqa Gabbi (Jubilee)
This year, OTT was Wamiqa Gabbi’s world and we were just living in it. After being a part of Vishal Bhardwaj’s Mumbai Dragon for Modern Love: Mumbai in 2022, the actor made some ripples in the southern seas with her performance in auteur Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s segment Ninaivo Oru Paravai, for Modern Love: Chennai. Next up was the goofily graceful act in Vikramaditya Motwane’s period drama Jubilee, where Wamiqa essayed the role of a courtesan who is trying her luck at the movies. No Wamiqa year can be without one Vishal Bhardwaj tale, 2023 had two. She broke the fourth wall with her mischievous charm as the Punjabi expletive-spewing detective in the series Charlie Chopra & The Mystery of the Solang Valley and exacted revenge against a deceiving husband (Ali Fazal) in Bhardwaj’s lyrical spy-thriller Khufiya.
Malayalam
Anaswara Rajan (Neru)
Getting noticed for a performance in a film headlined by a superstar is no mean feat. But Anaswara Rajan has pulled off just that with the portrayal of a blind rape survivor in Neru, which saw director Jeethu Joseph reuniting with Mohanlal for what has now turned out to be a successful effort. The film gives Anaswara’s Sara a quiet dignity, making it a role marked by resilience and vulnerability in a commendably sensitive portrayal rarely seen in Malayalam cinema. It’s a performance to remember.
Telugu
Sumanth Prabhas (Mem Famous)
In 2023, Sumanth made his feature film debut, as an actor and a director with the coming-of-age rural comedy Mem Famous. Co-starring a host of newcomers, Sumanth combined autobiographical elements in his film by telling a story of three no-good young boys in rural Telangana who turn over a new leaf and earn the respect of their fellow villagers by running a successful YouTube channel.

KADA jedemo određenu hranu, može se promijeniti nijansa naše kože, a više studija potvrdilo je da nas hranjiva prehrana bogata karotenoidima može učiniti estetski ugodnijima.
Karotenoidi su antioksidansi koji se obično nalaze u voću i povrću, kao što su žuta i crvena paprika, špinat, marelice i dinje. Ima ih i u nekim životinjskim proizvodima, uključujući jaja i losos.
Kada jedemo voće i povrće, ti karotenoidi kroz naše znojne žlijezde ulaze u vanjski sloj naše kože, čineći je više narančastom ili crvenom. Drugim riječima, djeluju poput prirodnog bronzera.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Jedna od studija, objavljena u PLOS ONE, otkrila je da konzumiranje samo dvije dodatne porcije voća i povrća dnevno može dovesti do primjetne promjene boje kože u nešto više od mjesec dana. Znanstvenici sa Sveučilišta St. Andrews pratili su prehranu 35 studenata tijekom razdoblja od šest tjedana te mjerili prirodne promjene u njihovoj prehrani i boji kože.
Osobe koje su obogatile svoju prehranu voćem i povrćem djelovale su osunčanije. Osim što ljude čine privlačnijima, karotenoidi pogoduju cjelokupnom zdravlju. Oni upijaju štetne spojeve uzrokovane stresom te su važni za naš imunološki i reproduktivni sustav.
Klinika Cleveland objavila je popis namirnica koje su bogate karotenoidima, a uopće nisu skupe. To su:
marelice
paprika babura
brokula
dinja
mrkva
guava
grejp
lisnato zeleno povrće (špinat, kelj itd.)
mango
bundeva
crvene papričice
špinat
slatki krumpir
mandarine
rajčice
lubenica
tikva
jaja
losos.

DOLASKOM blagdana obitelji su na okupu i često se druže u toplini svojih domova. Naravno, s njima su i njihovi kućni ljubimci.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Jedan korisnik TikToka ovih je dana na društvenoj mreži pokazao kako se njegova mačka uključila u obiteljsku igru. Naime, članovi obitelji sjeli su na pod u krug s njihovom ljubimicom i dodavali se običnom gumicom za kosu kako bi i maca mogla sudjelovati.
Čini se da je mačka odlično shvatila igru, a video je oduševio mnoge.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
UMJETNA inteligencija sada može otkriti je li luksuzni predmet – lažnjak. Tehnološka tvrtka Entrupy kaže da njezin uređaj može provjeriti autentičnost torbi marki poput Chanel, Balenciaga, Burberry, Gucci i Louis Vuitton, ali i drugih komada poput Nike i adidas tenisica, kako bi se osiguralo da kupci kupuju pravu stvar.
Trenutno je ovaj alat dostupan samo preprodavačima luksuzne robe, a tvrtka osnovana 2012. kaže da su njezinu AI tehnologiju od 2020. koristile stotine preprodavača vintage proizvoda. Nedavno je Entrupy postao i službeni autentifikator za novopokrenuti izbor luksuznih torbi TikTok Shopa.
Kako točno Entrupy radi?
Ova AI tehnologija, prema tvrtki, ima stopu točnosti od 99.1 posto jer može uočiti stvari koje ljudsko oko ne može. No kako Entrupy zapravo radi?
Softver tvrtke traži da mu se pošalju fotografije proizvoda iz svih mogućih kutova. Za torbe tehnologija koristi mikroskopske leće visoke rezolucije. Ovo daje bliži pogled na sve, od zakrivljenog ruba dizajnerske pločice i logotipa do zrnaca kože i serijskog broja.
Te se pojedinosti zatim uspoređuju s informacijama koje su prikupljene tijekom vremena, a koje se zatim mogu pripisati određenom tvorničkom ili serijskom broju kako bi se potvrdila njihova autentičnost.
Za provjeru autentičnosti tenisica, sustav koristi makro leću za snimanje obuće, vraćajući se na autentične stilove i visokokvalitetne lažne primjerke koje ima kao reference u bazi podataka. Sam proces je relativno brz.
Dobije se i potvrda o autentičnosti
Nakon skeniranja predmeta i podnošenja svih traženih informacija u Entrupyjev sustav, u roku od nekoliko minuta sazna se je li proizvod originalan ili fejk. Međutim, ovisno o stilu i rijetkosti, moglo bi potrajati i dulje. Nakon što se utvrdi da je predmet originalan, dobiva se i potvrda o autentičnosti.

“Cijela poanta ovoga je podići povjerenje i učiniti ga provjerljivim od treće strane”, rekao je Vidyuth Srinivasan, suosnivač i izvršni direktor Entrupyja, za Elle u nedavnom intervjuu. “Potrošač mora biti siguran da nije samo (jedna) osoba koja kaže da je nešto autentično, već da postoji i treća strana koja nema veze s transakcijom i koja to potvrđuje.”
Krivotvorine postaju sve sofisticiranije
Ovo je posebno važno jer krivotvorine postaju sve sofisticiranije. Ranije ove godine, Cartier je izjavio da više neće ovjeravati svoje najprodavanije LOVE narukvice. Krivotvorine su postale toliko dobre da luksuzna robna marka ne može dokazati da su legendarni dizajni originalni i, kao rezultat toga, antikvarijati poput Muerta & Co. sa sjedištem u San Franciscu nisu voljni smatrati ih pravim.
“Većina ih ljudi više neće niti kupiti kao autentične osim ako nemate originalni račun, papirologiju i dokaz da ste vi izvorni vlasnik ili da vam je darovan od kupca u Cartieru. Vrlo je teško dokazati jesu li prave ili ne”, izjavila je u viralnom videu osoba koja vodi TikTok profil antikvarijata Mureta & Co.
Iako su dodaci najpogođenija kategorija kada su u pitanju krivotvorine, Entrupy za sada provjerava samo autentičnost dizajnerskih torbi i tenisica poznatih marki. “Uvijek pazimo na nove kategorije u kojima vidimo visok rizik”, kaže Srinivasan.
“Jer da biste pobijedili krivotvoritelje, morate razmišljati poput njih, što znači da idete tamo gdje oni idu, a oni idu tamo gdje je prodaja velika i nema propisa.” On se referira na više od 1.7 trilijuna dolara vrijednih neautentificiranih proizvoda koji trenutno kruže tržištem i koji su prošli ispod radara.
“Želimo osigurati da kupnja luksuznih predmeta bude glatko iskustvo”, kaže. “Ova integracija omogućuje nam nastavak naše misije zaštite tvrtki i potrošača od kupnje krivotvorenih proizvoda.”

SVAKA dijeta ima specifičan cilj, bilo da podržava mršavljenje, unaprjeđuje opće zdravlje, smanjuje tjelesne upale ili nešto sasvim četvrto. Vertikalna dijeta je osmišljena da pomogne poboljšanju tjelesne građe i često privlači ljude koji žele povećati mišićnu masu.
Što je vertikalna dijeta?
Vertikalna dijeta je plan prehrane koji je osmislio profesionalni bodybuilder Stan Efferding. Napisao je knjigu pod nazivom The Vertical Diet: A Simple, Sensible, and Sustainable Lifestyle Plan to Improve Body Composition for Optimal Health and Performance, u suradnji s dijetetičarom Damonom McCuneom.
Knjiga postavlja temelje za program prehrane koji ostavlja zbunjenost po strani i pomaže u gubitku kilograma, kao i poboljšanju zdravlja. Efferdingova web-stranica kaže da je cilj dijete poboljšati metabolizam i cjelokupno zdravlje probavnog sustava.
“Temeljna načela vertikalne dijete mogu se i trebaju koristiti za poboljšanje i optimizaciju bilo kojeg programa prehrane”, stoji na web-stranici. Ipak, dijeta ima puno ograničenja.
Koju hranu možemo jesti na vertikalnoj dijeti?
Vertikalna dijeta obiluje crvenim mesom i bijelom rižom, uz određeno povrće. Glavne komponente prehrane uključuju crveno meso, bijelu rižu, povrće poput mrkve, krastavaca i špinata, jaja, punomasne mliječne proizvode te voće poput naranči i borovnica.
Koju hranu ne možemo jesti na vertikalnoj dijeti?
Dijeta preporučuje izbjegavanje smeđe riže, žitarica osim bijele riže, biljnih ulja, graha, kikirikija, graška, luka, češnjaka, kave, šećernog alkohola, povrća poput brokule i cvjetače te voća poput jabuka i krušaka.

Potencijalne zdravstvene prednosti
Potencijalne dobrobiti uglavnom se odnose na probavu, kaže Jessica Cording, autorica knjige The Little Book of Game-Changers.
“Ako netko ima gastrointestinalni problem, vertikalna dijeta daje mu priliku da eliminira stvari koje su mogle uzrokovati probleme. Dijeta je također bogata proteinima koji mogu podržati rast mišića”, kaže Cording.
Potencijalne mane
Cording je zabrinuta zbog niske količine vlakana u ovoj dijeti. Kaže da je dijeta prilično ograničavajuća, a obilna konzumacija crvenog mesa je zabrinjavajuća jer se povezuje s povećanim rizikom od raka i drugih zdravstvenih problema.
Iako stručnjaci kažu da možemo smršavjeti na vertikalnoj dijeti, ne preporučuju da je isprobamo. Ako želimo pronaći načine za unos više proteina u svoju prehranu, Cording predlaže da razgovaramo s dijetetičarom.

Sat će biti dostupan sutra u 88 gradova i 97 trgovina diljem svijeta. Mnogi kupci koje zanimaju satovi iz ove kolekcije razočarani su što ni posljednji neće biti dostupan online, već isključivo u fizičkim trgovinama. “Zašto ne omogućite online kupnju?”, “I dalje su dostupni samo u fizičkim trgovinama?” neki su od komentara.

Shares of the Mumbai-based Credo Brands Marketing, that owns the Mufti brand of clothing, will be listed on the bourses today.
The issue price has been fixed at ₹280. The ₹549.80-crore IPO is priced in a band of ₹266-280, and was subscribed 51.85 times.
The QIB portion was subscribed 105 times, while the HNI portion was bid 55.5 times, and that of retail investors nearly 20 times.

NOVA metoda 30-30-30 postala je hit u svijetu mršavljenja. Ona uključuje unos 30 grama proteina u prvih 30 minuta nakon buđenja, nakon čega slijedi 30 minuta vježbanja.
Ovu metodu prvi je spomenuo Timothy Ferriss u svojoj knjizi The 4-Hour Body, ali biolog Gary Brecka popularizirao ju je na TikToku. Brecka tvrdi da nam ova metoda može pomoći da smršavimo te uspostavimo kontrolu nad razinom šećera u krvi i inzulinom.
Kako funkcionira metoda 30-30-30?
Kod metode 30-30-30, počinjemo s unosom 30 grama proteina unutar prvih 30 minuta nakon buđenja. Sljedeći korak je 30-minutni trening. Uz metodu 30-30-30, preporučuje se rad kardiovaskularnih vježbi, poput hodanja ili vožnje biciklom. Cilj je održati srčani puls na ili ispod 135 otkucaja u minuti.
“Postoje brojni znanstveni dokazi da unos više proteina, osobito za doručak, može pomoći u smanjenju potrošnje kalorija tijekom ostatka dana, budući da proteini pomažu da se dulje osjećate siti. Neke studije također su pokazale da ljudi koji konzumiraju više proteina, ali isti broj kalorija, ipak brže mršave”, rekao je dijetetičar Josten Fish za časopis Health.
Prvi korak: Doručak s 30 grama proteina
Prvi korak metode 30-30-30 zahtijeva jedenje obroka koji sadrži 30 grama proteina odmah nakon buđenja. Kako bismo uspješno slijedili ovaj korak, doručak možemo pripremiti već večer prije.
Neki od prijedloga za doručak s 30 grama proteina uključuju: kajganu od tri jaja prelivena sirom, voćni smoothie napravljen s proteinskim prahom, grčki jogurt s orašastim plodovima, svježi sir s ananasom, visokoproteinski kruh preliven maslacem od orašastih plodova ili jajima i sirom te zdjelica kvinoje s tofuom, jajima, grahom ili sirom.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Drugi korak: Vježba 30 minuta
Fokus je na kardiovaskularnim vježbama, a ne na vježbama snage. Vježbe koje ubrzavaju rad srca su šetnja na traci za trčanje ili kroz susjedstvo, lagana vožnja biciklom, plesanje, trčanje, trening na eliptičnom trenažeru i plivanje u bazenu.
Potencijalne prednosti metode 30-30-30
Ideja iza metode 30-30-30 je da može sagorijevati tjelesnu mast umjesto čiste mišićne mase. Svaki put kad srce ubrza ritam, poboljšat ćemo ili barem održati svoju kondiciju, što je dobro za sagorijevanje tjelesne masti.
Konzumiranje proteina za doručak također može podržati sagorijevanje masti. “Konzumiranjem 30 grama proteina unutar prvih 30 minuta nakon buđenja, pojedinci mogu pokrenuti svoj metabolizam i opskrbiti svoje tijelo esencijalnim hranjivim tvarima. Doručak bogat proteinima može pomoći u kontroli apetita i reguliranju razine šećera u krvi”, objasnio je Fish.
Dijetetičar smatra da bi ova metoda mogla biti dobar način za povećanje sagorijevanja masti, a da pritom zadržimo čistu mišićnu masu.
“Kombinacija prehrane i tjelovježbe mogla bi biti moćno oruđe za one koji žele poboljšati svoje cjelokupno zdravlje, razinu energije i produktivnost”, zaključio je Fish.

A marriage is considered to be a sacred union of two souls, and interestingly, in 2023, several Bollywood celebrities officially solemnised their relationship with the love of their lives. From Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani to Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, known names from the showbiz, got married this year. So, as 2023 reaches its end, let’s take a look back at some of the most memorable celebs’ weddings. Year Ender 2023: From Deepika Padukone’s Oscars Outfit to Alia Bhatt’s Attire at NMACC Launch, Check Out Best Celeb Looks of this Year.
Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani
The wedding of the year award goes only to Sidharth Malhotra and actress Kiara Advani. On February 7, Sidharth and Kiara tied the knot in Rajasthan and officially began their “happily ever after” chapter. The two, who fell in love during the shoot of their film Shershaah, left everyone star-struck with their wedding festivities. They opted for a grand destination wedding in the Suryagarh Hotel, Jaisalmer, where their family members and only close friends were present.

After taking saat pheres, Sidharth and Kiara posted adorable pictures from their wedding ceremony. The two looked ethereal on their D-Day. Kiara wore a mesmerising pink lehenga and golden embellished lehenga set. The gorgeous bridal outfit was paired with an assemblage of jewels and a beautiful yet blingy maang-tikka. On the other hand, Sidharth wore an ivory and golden bandhgala which was heavily embroidered, along with a stole and turban. Their outfits were designed by Manish Malhotra, who was also a part of the couple’s wedding festivities.
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha
With Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha’s wedding, two different fields — Bollywood and Politics — got united. Parineeti, an actor, tied the knot with AAP leader Raghav Chadha on September 24. Like her cousin and global icon, Priyanka Chopra, Parineeti also opted for a wedding ceremony in Rajasthan. Parineeti and Raghav’s wedding was held at The Leela Palace in Udaipur.
The two reportedly first met at the India-UK Outstanding Achiever Honours that were held in London in January 2023. The event was the first time that Parineeti and Raghav had met, and a breakfast afterward sealed the deal for them.
Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram
Actors Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram are the newlyweds of B-town. The two exchanged vows on November 29 in Manipur. Their wedding was performed in traditional Meitei rituals. Later, they threw a wedding reception for the members of the film industry in Mumbai. From filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak, Jackie Shroff to Vijay Varma, Tamannaah Bhatia, who’s who of Bollywood, marked their presence at the function, which was held in Mumbai. They also held a wedding reception for their close friends and family members in Delhi. Randeep and Lin Laishram dated for years before tying the knot. They met for the first time during their theatre days.
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul
After dating for a couple of years, cricketer KL Rahul and actress Athiya Shetty tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on January 23. Their wedding was held at Athiya’s father, Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala. Among the select group of friends who attended the wedding were Diana Penty, Krishna Shroff, Anshula Kapoor, and Anushka Ranjan with her husband Aditya Seal. Cricketers Varun Aaron and Ishant Sharma, with wife Pratima Singh, also attended.
Hours after taking pheras, Athiya and KL Rahul released a joint post, writing, “‘In your light, I learn how to love…’ Today, with our most loved ones, we got married in the home that’s given us immense joy and serenity. With a heart full of gratitude and love, we seek your blessings on this journey of togetherness.” Arbaaz Khan and Sshura Khan Are Married!

Her wedding was attended by her mother, Neena Gupta, father Vivian Richards and her stepfather, Vivek Mehra.She shared the grand frame, including all the family members from both sides on that very day. Captioning the frame as, “For the first time ever – My whole life came together. This is us. My beautiful blended family. Everything from here on is just a bonus,” Masaba re-defined modern relationships in a graceful way. Masaba and Satyadeep worked together on the Netflix series ‘Masaba Masaba’ which is based on Masaba’s personal and professional life.
Masaba was previously married to producer Madhu Mantena. They got married in 2015 and in 2019, they parted ways. Satyadeep was earlier married to Aditi Rao Hydari but the couple separated in 2013.
Arbaaz Khan and Sshura Khan

The wedding was attended by Salim Khan, Salma Khan, Salman Khan, Alvira Agnihotri, her husband Atul Agnihotri, Sohail Khan, Arbaaz’s son Arhaan, Aayush Sharma, Arpita, Ahil, Ayat and Helen. Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia Deshmukh, Farah Khan, Raveena Tandon, her daughter Rasha and actor Ridhima Pandit also attended the ceremony.
Arbaaz was previously married to Malaika Arora. They separated in 2016 and officially divorced in 2017; they have a son, Arhaan. Arbaaz also dated Giorgia Andriani but the two called it quits last year. He reportedly met Shura on the sets of his upcoming film Patna Shukla.
PSI SU ČESTO nazivani “čovjekovim najboljim prijateljima”, a jedan od razloga za to je njihova nevjerojatna inteligencija. No, jeste li se ikada pitali koje pasmine pasa spadaju među najpametnije?
Border Collie
Jedna od najpoznatijih i najinteligentnijih pasmina pasa je svakako Border Collie. Ovi psi su radišni, poslušni i brzo uče. Nisu samo pametni, već su i vrlo posvećeni svom vlasniku. Border Collie se često koriste u pastirskom poslu zbog svoje izvanredne sposobnosti kontrole stoke. Osim toga, odlični su u izvođenju trikova i sudjelovanju u raznim sportskim aktivnostima.

Pudlica
Pudlice su poznate po svojoj elegantnoj pojavi, ali i iznimnoj inteligenciji. Brze su učenice i spremne su raditi kako bi zadovoljile svog vlasnika. Često su vrlo uspješne na natjecanjima u poslušnosti i trikovima.
Njemački ovčar
Njemački ovčar je jedna od najpoznatijih pasmina pasa na svijetu, a također spada među najinteligentnije. Ovi psi su vrlo poslušni i izvanredni u poslovima čuvanja, traganju i spašavanju. Njihova sposobnost brze obrade informacija čini ih odličnim izborom za policijske i vojne službe. Također su vrlo vjerni i privrženi svojim vlasnicima.
Važno je napomenuti da inteligencija pasa može varirati i unutar iste pasmine. Svaki pas ima svoju jedinstvenu osobnost i sposobnosti. Pametni psi zahtijevaju mentalnu stimulaciju i obuku kako bi iskoristili svoj potencijal. Bez obzira na pasminu, svaki pas zaslužuje pažnju, brigu i ljubav svog vlasnika.

POPULARNE modne trgovine pokušavaju svoje trgovine učiniti što privlačnijim kupcima pa u njih dodaju kozmetičke salone i neke nove digitalne značajke. Robne marke, uključujući H&M i Zaru, zatvorile su stotine trgovina posljednjih godina kako bi smanjile troškove jer se sve više kupaca okreće e-trgovini. Sada ulažu u one koje su ostale kako bi privukli kupce na načine na koje ne mogu online.
Kako piše Wall Street Journal, trgovine novog izgleda obično su veće i prostranije, nude usluge kao što su kozmetički saloni, servisi i kafići te omogućuju nove digitalne značajke kao što su aplikacije koje kupcima omogućuju virtualni razgled skladišta. “Sada se radi o interakciji s potrošačima i pružanju iskustva”, rekao je Henrik Nordvall, upravitelj H&M-ovog poslovanja u Velikoj Britaniji.
U nedavno redizajniranoj trgovini brenda u londonskoj ulici Regent Street promet je važniji od prodajnih brojki, rekao je Nordvall. Dok je prodaja u trgovinama još uvijek jaka, mnogi kupci tamo provode vrijeme razvijajući afinitet prema robnoj marki, a zatim kasnije kupuju odjeću online, dodao je.
“Trgovine poput turističkih destinacija”
U preuređenoj trgovini nalazi se TV ekran od poda do stropa, za koji tvrtka kaže da je najveći u bilo kojoj trgovini u Europi. Nadalje, tu je beauty bar za kupce koji mogu rezervirati tretmane za nokte ili trepavice i odjel za iznajmljivanje gdje kupci mogu posuditi odabrane artikle, npr. skupe komade iz H&M-ovih dizajnerskih kolaboracija.
Od uvođenja promjena, prosječno trajanje vremenskog posjeta kupaca znatno se povećalo, rekao je Nordvall, koji je odbio dati konkretne brojke. Ovakav koncept trgovina, u kojima kupci provode vrijeme mimo same kupovine, jest model koji je Apple izbrusio svojim prostranim, znamenitim trgovinama ispunjenim korisnim gadgetima.
Trgovci su nekoć trebali veliku mrežu trgovina “kako bi došli do ljudi, ali sada za to imaju internet”, rekla je Patricia Cifuentes, analitičarka u upravitelju imovinom Bestinver. “Sada se trgovine bave imidžom robne marke. Oni su poput turističkih destinacija.”
>> Ovo je budućnost izloga modnih trgovina?
No ne slijedi svaki trgovac pristup velikih svjetskih modnih marki. Macy’s, primjerice, otvara manje trgovine kako bi doveo svoj brend na mjesta gdje kupci obavljaju svoje svakodnevne obaveze. Lanac elektroničke robe Best Buy zatvara veće lokale i umjesto njih otvara male trgovine.
Ali globalne modne marke s velikim prodajnim brojkama već rade pomak prema manjim, ali boljim trgovinama. No iako bi se investicija mogla obiti o glavu ako trgovine ne uspiju privući stalni promet, za sada se čini da strategija funkcionira.
Novi dizajn Zarinih trgovina
Inditex, grupacija unutar koje je Zara, eliminirao je četvrtinu svojih trgovina od 2018. i sada ima 5745 lokacija za svoje robne marke, koje također uključuju Bershku, Pull&Bear, Stradivarius i Massimo Dutti.
Ukupni prihod španjolske grupe od trgovina porastao je 8% u 2022. u usporedbi s četiri godine ranije, pri čemu je svaka trgovina u prosjeku prodala 30% više, rekao je glavni izvršni direktor Oscar Garcia Maceiras u nedavnom razgovoru o zaradi.
>> Vlasnik Zare: Radit ćemo odjeću od recikliranog tekstilnog otpada
Nakon zatvaranja slabijih lokacija i nadogradnje ostalih, ostala im je “mreža većih, boljih i ljepših trgovina u najboljim maloprodajnim odredištima na globalnoj razini”, rekao je Garcia. Unatoč sveukupnom poslovanju s manje trgovina, Inditex je povećao svoj proračun kapitalnih izdataka za 2023. za 14% na 1.6 milijardi eura, od čega je polovica namijenjena poboljšanju trgovina.
Velik dio tog novca troši se na uvođenje novog dizajna Zarinih trgovina, uključujući i novih lokacija, kako bi iskustvo kupnje bilo ugodnije. Naglasak kod novog izgleda je prostraniji osjećaj u trgovinama i više otvorenog prostora kako kupci ne bi osjećali gužvu.
S više otvorenog prostora, trgovine će sve više imati diskretne butike za isticanje pojedinačnih kolekcija. Zara ima tim internih arhitekata koji dizajniraju njezine trgovine i koristi pilot-trgovine u svom sjedištu u Španjolskoj za eksperimentiranje s novim izgledima.
>> Massimo Dutti predstavio je novu kolekciju parfema, ali ljudi pišu: “Bojkot”
Garcia, koji redovito obilazi Zarine trgovine diljem svijeta, rekao je u nedavnom intervjuu da mu upravitelji trgovina govore da se žele proširiti jer samo prostranije trgovine mogu primiti većinu ili cijeli Zarin asortiman. Također, Zara je otkrila da su veće trgovine – produktivnije.
Zara osim toga u svoje trgovine uvodi i tehnologiju kao što su automatska mjesta povrata i preuzimanja, kao i područja za samoposlužne blagajne. Također, kupci mogu koristiti mobilnu Zarinu aplikaciju za provjeru sadržaja i stanja skladišta kako bi vidjeli je li artikl dostupan u njihovim veličinama, na primjer.
H&M isto smanjuje broj svojih fizičkih trgovina
Što se tiče H&M-a, ovaj trgovac je smanjio broj trgovina za 14% u odnosu na vrhunac iz 2019. na današnjih 4375 prodajnih mjesta. Tvrtka ne dijeli svoje prihode na fizičke i online i kaže da su ta dva dijela poslovanja komplementarna.
Trgovine su sve više “način za kupce da dobiju inspiraciju”, rekla je izvršna direktorica Helena Helmersson u nedavnom intervjuu. H&M je povećao svoj proračun kapitalne potrošnje za 43% za 2023. na otprilike milijardu dolara, dijelom kako bi nastavio s modernizacijom trgovina.
>> Nakon Barcelone H&M planira prodavati rabljenu odjeću i u svojoj trgovini u Londonu
Čak i prije pandemije covida-19, čelnici H&M-a prepoznali su da je vrijeme za ažuriranje fizičkih trgovina kako bi ponudile zanimljivije iskustvo, rekao je Nordvall, upravitelj za Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo. Kad je pandemija dovela do porasta internetske prodaje, tvrtka je ubrzala svoje napore da redizajnira svoje trgovine, rekao je.
S time u vezi preuređena je trgovina brenda u londonskom Regent Streetu, a cilj je bio potaknuti kupce da tamo provode više vremena. Trgovina sada ima second-hand dio, legiće u dječjem dijelu i kabine za presvlačenje s ugrađenom selfie funkcijom.
H&M također koristi trgovinu za održavanje događanja za kupce koji se prijave za njegov članski program. U studenom je organizirala zabavu povodom početka suradnje s modnom kućom Rabanne i sl.
Uniqlo isto otvara destinacijske trgovine
Osim navedenih, i Uniqlo, znatno manji brend od H&M-a i Zare, otvara tzv. destinacijske trgovine na zapadnim tržištima. Nedavno otvorena trgovina lanca u londonskom Covent Gardenu nalazi se u preuređenoj zgradi iz viktorijanskog doba, a dvorište je osunčano i nalazi se ispod zasvođenog staklenog krova. Na katu je trgovina japanskih čajeva s balkonom, a dolje cvjećarnica.
Kupci mogu upotrijebiti stroj za ispis vlastitih dizajna majica, dati promijeniti ili popraviti odjeću u popravljačkoj stanici u trgovini i odmarati se u udobnim stolicama dok pregledavaju knjige za stolić za kavu.
Dok internetska prodaja raste, odredišne trgovine “postale su pokretač europske zarade”, kao i mjesta gdje brend komunicira što predstavlja, rekao je Taku Morikawa, izvršni direktor Uniqlo Europe, tijekom nedavne prezentacije zarade. Samo nezaboravno iskustvo u trgovini natjerat će kupce da vjeruju i dive se vašem brendu, dodao je.

Foldable phones are set to get mainstream with prices likely to come down over the coming quarters and higher adoption among consumers. While 2022 saw just a handful of brands introducing their foldable models, 2023 saw foldables taking a higher share of smartphone brands’ portfolios. In 2024, the trend is only going to pick up pace with each brand having a foldable in its portfolio and those having taken the plunge earlier taking a larger share of the market. Rollable screens also made their presence felt in some concept phones this year. But, Motorola may well push the envelope in this case with its concept ‘bendable phone’ which uses plastic OLED screen to make flexible display, referred to as FHD+ pOLED. The screen is 6.9 inch display when flat, but can be bent to a U shape and even worn as a smartwatch.

A critical point with connected devices will be the value addition that these products bring to consumers.
Connected devices are set to make their presence felt with categories such as personal computers, entertainment systems, home infrastructure, home appliances, convenience-based appliances, electronics and security equipment becoming smart. However, a critical point here will be the value addition that these products bring to consumers. “There is a need to add significant value in these devices to get consumers excited, furthering the growth of the overall market. We are already seeing smartphone market stagnating. In other smart devices, we have scope if we improve the value quotient for consumers,” said Faisal Kawoosa, chief analyst and founder, Techarc.
AI in hardware

The small square-shaped device uses laser-ink to project a screen-like user interface on one’s hand.
The Humane AI pin best describes what AI can do in hardware. The pin makes screens virtually unnecessary as the small square-shaped device uses laser-ink to project a screen-like user interface on one’s hand. Functions such as calling, messaging, translation and app-interface may well change if AI itself connects with services that function in the cloud, the way the Humane AI pin does. The same principles could be applied in other form factors, making the combination of AI with hardware that much more interesting in terms of the possibilities it could offer. Since smartphone screens are nowhere close to being removed from our everyday use, what AI can do with that kind of display hardware would also be interesting to see.

AI Assistants’ efficiency and learning could, over time, also lead to deals crafted for individual preferences on the fly.
According to a CyberMedia Research (CMR) study issued last week, AI’s best use case among enterprises is set to be customer services, (priority for about 90% of the companies), followed by marketing and sales and predictive maintenance. AI Assistants will change the way enterprises engage with their customers, ensuring efficiency, responsiveness, and customized experiences that align with individual preferences and requirements. This basically means a big shift in consumer experiences, which will begin with online and percolate into offline. AI Assistants’ efficiency and learning could, over time, also lead to deals crafted for individual preferences on the fly.

2024 could well see the 4G/5G stack or even the AI stack being taken across borders.
Customers could well see more and more consumer tech being made in India, for domestic as well as global consumption. While the biggest example is the iPhone 15, televisions, Wi-Fi routers, and set-top boxes are expected to be the next categories to be exported from India, after smartphones. Indian-made software tech, beginning with the India stack—Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and mobile—and now with Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)—is increasingly being sought after by many global markets. 2024 could well see the 4G/5G stack or even the AI stack being taken across borders.

MUMBAI: Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Dunki” has added Rs 45. 37 crore to its worldwide gross box office collection (GBOC), taking the comedy drama’s total earnings to Rs 256. 40 crore within five days of its release.
Based on real incidents, the Hindi film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani, who has co-written the story with Abhijaat Joshi and Kanika Dhillon. It was released in theatres on Thursday.
Production house Red Chillies Entertainment on Tuesday shared the box office update on its official X page.
“Yeh kahani badi pyaari hai. Tabhi toh…aapka pyaar milna jaari hai,” the banner said in the post, which also stated that the film had earned Rs 256. 40 crore worldwide in GBOC.
Unlike his previous two 2023 films “Pathaan” and “Jawan”, which earned over Rs 1,000 crore each worldwide, “Dunki” has not been able to make a splash at the ticket window and has been receiving mixed reviews.
The film, based on an illegal immigration technique ‘donkey flight’, also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover.
“Dunki” is also facing tough competition from the period action saga “Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire”, which arrived in cinema halls on Friday.
“Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire” has grossed Rs 402 crore at the global box office in its opening weekend, according to Hombale Films.
The makers of the Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran- starrer claim the movie earned Rs 178. 7 crore, registering the record for the best opening day figures for any Indian title in 2023.
The day one domestic earnings of “Dunki” stood at Rs 30 crore nett, which was significantly lower than both “Pathaan” and “Jawan”, which had amassed Rs 55 crore and Rs 65. 5 crore nett on their opening days in India, respectively.
“Dunki” is also presented by JIO Studios and Rajkumar Hirani Films.
Maithan Alloys, manufacturers and exporters of niche value-added manganese alloys, said on Tuesday that it plans to acquire 10 lakh shares (0.202 per cent) of the National Stock Exchange. In a disclosure to the stock exchanges, the company said it entered into an agreement for the purchase of 10 lakh shares for ₹324 crore, making the per-share value ₹3,240.
“The shares are proposed to be acquired through secondary market purchase and shall form part of the current investment of Maithan Alloys Limited with a view to reaping the long-term and short-term investment benefits,” it said in the disclosure.
However, in-principal approval from the NSE is required, it said.
NSE is involved in operating trading platforms for equities, derivatives, and other financial instruments. It is a leading stock exchange in India and has a dominant position with a market share by total turnover of 93 per cent in the equity cash segment, 99 per cent in the equity futures and options segment, 71 per cent in the currency futures segment, and 99 per cent in currency options trading.
Maithan Alloys has been buying stocks of various companies, especially those in the public sector undertaing from the secondary market this quarter. The companies are Coal India, Bank of Baroda, Bank of Maharashtra, Union Bank of India, Jio Financial, SBI, GAIL India, Hudco, Natco Pharma, RITES, and Canara Bank.
The firm so far has spent ₹774.60 crore to buy various companies, with NSE being the largest at ₹324 crore.
For the September quarter, the company posted a profit of ₹65.59 crore on revenues of ₹442.29 crore. For FY23, it posted a PAT of ₹426.51 crore and revenues of ₹2,907.56 crore.
Shares of Maithan Alloys closed 0.38 per cent higher at ₹1,155.45. on the BSE.
Last week Adam Gerhart, Global CEO Mindshare, which won the Media network’s agency of the year at Cannes Lions, was in India. “One of the reasons I’m here is because the velocity, scale and the pace of change and development here is quickly eclipsing what we’re seeing in other parts of the world,” he told businessline. In terms of ad spends, Mindshare, a part of WPP’s Group M, is forecasting about 5.9 per cent global growth. “What’s interesting is that India is projected to be 2-3X of that at 12 per cent growth,” he added.
Where do you see India as a market for Mindshare globally?
Adam: It is certainly one of our top markets. And importantly, it is one of our fastest growing markets. We are watching India keenly because of the velocity of change and the enormity of the opportunity we’re seeing here. India is growing two to three times faster in terms of ad expenditure, paired with the fact that the country’s GDP is also growing equally fast, compared to the rest of the world. So we’re investing in India as a critical driver of our future success globally.
Some of the investments done by Mindshare in the US is in neuroscience and voice commerce. Are we seeing this in India as well?
Adam: There’s a constant drive of lifting our game through bespoke products like these.
Amin: We have launched mSampling in India. This is a very tech-oriented ability for our clients to drive trials for their new products. It leverages tech, data and also the entire e-commerce ecosystem. We’ve brought all of this together through our tech partnerships and we’re enabling that for our clients now. In addition to trials, clients are looking to us to help them with the launch of their new products and getting the first view of consumers’ response to these new products because the run rate of success among new product launches is very low. As they want a very fast turnaround to some of these conversations, we provide them with tons of live feedback within a week or 10-15 days. This helps them build on what is missing in the product or find out what could really work for them if they were to make slight changes.
The other piece that we’re developing in our bespoke line of products in India is our deep dive into consumer culture. We look at the way consumers are consuming content and we bring in the brand tension points across markets. For example, content consumption is very different for South India and even within South, say, between Tamil Nadu and Kerala, it is very different. Therefore, we look at how we can solve this brand tension point within the cultural context. This is something that is really helping us help our clients, to bring out newer ways to solve their marketing challenges.
Adam, looking at the way various markets are progressing in different platforms, is India moving in the same direction on digital and other channels as in mature markets?
Adam: The biggest thing we’re seeing in India is the role of social influencers. There are 400 million active social media users in India which is bigger than most countries to begin with. There are around 650 million mobile gamers in India. This is a staggering number. So I think the trends are similar, but what we’re seeing is a pace and a scale that is unlike anywhere else in the world. We’re seeing the likes of mobile leading in many ways and e-commerce exploding in a way that other markets are only catching up to. The infrastructure and the shape of the market in India provides for some of these trends taking hold faster or the scale is just outpacing anything that we’ve seen in other parts of the world.
Earlier this year Group M talked about helping brands to invest in responsible media. Given the plethora of toxic media and fake news sites, how is that panning out?
Adam: It is something that we’re taking incredibly seriously because, with the availability of content and how quickly content can be produced these days, the challenge of misinformation is very real and so one of our pillars of investment is supporting responsible journalism. We are using and building AI technologies to identify news outlets that might be toxic towards certain consumer groups. In markets like the US, we’ve launched an Impact Index, which scores the quality and the calibre of content on news sites.
Amin: From an Indian perspective, I think we’re seeing the same trend and we’re moving from reach to ‘right reach’. I think reaching the right audience is extremely important than to just get reach because our clients are increasingly pushing us to drive authenticity.
Last year WPP restructured and Mindshare merged with Neo and a few other integrations happened. What does it do to the talent?
Adam: What we’re trying to create is an ecosystem within WPP and Group M, which is far more open source where we can draw in the best talent, regardless of where they sit based on their specialism, their expertise to solve clients’ business problems.
In that sense, we want to evolve well beyond the media agency so that we are solving problems for our clients and in doing so it means that we need to open the aperture of how we think about talent.
So in some cases it might be an integrated team with a creative agency and another case it might be Choreograph, which is Group M and WPP’s data spine. And I think what we’re starting to see is far more integration of capabilities and services as a result of that. There may be duplication, but it is entirely built around the client’s objective and challenge that we are trying to solve.
And I think that is a big pivot for the industry as they try and grapple with how they transform to not just be silo-ed into the vertical area of expertise that they grew up in.
Every time a shiny new technology comes up, brands line up invest. But are brands ruing the investment on metaverse now that Generative AI is here?
Adam: Last year at Cannes, every conversation was focused on the metaverse. This year, I didn’t hear even one about the metaverse. It was all generative AI, and the role that AI will play in the ecosystem moving forward. So I think that’s pretty indicative.
Amin: Each of these technological innovations have their own place. So if you look at this year’s Cannes wins, the agency that won the Titanium was actually a metaverse initiative for an island which is sinking so that it could thrive digitally. So yes, right now AI is important, products are getting shaped up and there are use cases that are adding value. In my mind it is not one against the other, both will grow and have their own use cases.
OVIH dana mnogi se zaklinju da će u novoj godini više vježbati. Ako ste među onima koji vrlo brzo prekrše tu odluku, imamo sedam savjeta koji bi mogli pomoći da uspostavite navike vježbanja kojih ćete se dugoročno pridržavati.
1. 11 minuta brzog hodanja
Istraživanje provedeno na 30 milijuna ljudi pokazalo je da bi hodanje u trajanju od svega 11 minuta moglo smanjiti rizik od preuranjene smrti za gotovo 25%. Tih 11 svakodnevnih minuta vježbanja također je smanjilo rizike od srčanih bolesti za 17% i od raka bilo koje vrste za 7%. Za određene vrste raka, uključujući mijeloičnu leukemiju i neke vrste raka želuca, rizik je pao za čak 26%, piše The Post.
2. Jutarnja tjelovježba može biti bolja za sagorijevanje masti
Ako želite sagorijevati više masti sa svakim treningom i polako smanjivati njihove zalihe u tijelu, postoje prednosti vježbanja prije podneva. Istraživanje na miševima pokazalo je da su životinje koje su trčale nekoliko sati nakon buđenja sagorjele više masti nego miševi koji su vježbali kasnije tijekom dana.
3. Vježbe na otvorenom poboljšavaju dobrobiti vježbanja
Premještanje treninga na otvoreno može biti jednostavan način da povećamo njegove prednosti, ne samo za naš um, već i za zdravlje, sreću i kondiciju. Tjelesna aktivnost u prirodi može poboljšati koncentraciju znatno više nego u zatvorenom prostoru. Istraživanja su pokazala da se učinci mogu proširiti od kratkotrajnih poboljšanja koncentracije do povećanja motivacije.
U kineskoj studiji objavljenoj prošle godine, mladi, ali pretili, neaktivni ljudi koji su počeli hodati u parku svaki drugi dan, izjavili su da osjećaju znatno manje stresa, kao i da znatno više uživaju u tjelovježbi na otvorenom.
4. Hodanje četiri dana u tjednu može poboljšati zdravlje mozga
Nikada nije prekasno za tjelovježbu, a ona poboljšava i zdravlje našeg mozga. U studiji provedenoj na 70-godišnjacima, hodanje samo četiri dana tjedno tijekom četiri mjeseca dovelo je do boljih rezultata na kognitivnim testovima. Skeniranje mozga pokazalo je da su njihove moždane veze jače nego prije, što rezultira boljim razmišljanjem.

5. 8000 koraka je zlatna sredina
Nema ničeg čarobnog ili utemeljenog na dokazima o 10.000 koraka dnevno, stoga možemo zaboraviti na tu brojku. Studija na više od 47.000 ljudi pokazala je da je za muškarce i žene mlađe od 60 godina, najveće smanjenje rizika od prerane smrti postignuto s dnevnim brojem koraka između otprilike 8000 i 10.000. Za osobe starije od 60 godina, prag je bio nešto niži, između 6000 i 8000.
6. Manje naporna tjelovježba može sagorjeti više masti
Ono što bi moglo iznenaditi neke ljude jest da što je vježba lakša, to naše tijelo više koristi masnoće kao gorivo, što laganu vježbu čini ključnom za sagorijevanje masti. Hoćemo li tijekom vježbanja sagorijevati prvenstveno masti ili ugljikohidrate, najviše ovisi o intenzitetu našeg treninga. Općenito govoreći, što se više naprežemo, to se naše tijelo više oslanja na ugljikohidrate.
7. Prednosti vježbanja su veće kada ste redovni
U jednoj studiji grupe vježbača pratile su broj koraka. Neki od njih dobili su točna izvješća o svojih 7000 dnevnih koraka. Drugoj skupini lagali su – oni su puno vježbali, ali im je rečeno da rade samo 4000 koraka dnevno.
Vježbači kojima je točno rečeno da su hodali oko 7000 koraka dnevno, izvijestili su istraživače o boljem raspoloženju i većem samopouzdanju. Kad su počeli brojati korake, također su se počeli bolje hraniti, konzumirati manje masne hrane i proizvoditi više.
Ali ljudi koji su mislili da su napravili samo 4000 koraka dnevno pokazali su malo niže samopouzdanje, lošije raspoloženje, lošije prehrambene navike i malo povećanje broja otkucaja srca u mirovanju te krvnog tlaka, što ukazuje na donekle pogoršanje zdravlja, iako su njihovi koraci, objektivno, bili isti kao i svi ostali. Dakle, trebamo pratiti kako i koliko vježbamo te biti uporni i redovni.

DOK SU NAŠI domovi ispunjeni smijehom i veseljem, možda nismo ni svjesni koliko opasnosti vreba naše ljubimce. Uprava za hranu i lijekove (FDA) objavila je osam stvari koje mogu naškoditi psima i mačkama.
Poslastice za kućne ljubimce
Tijekom blagdana broj posjeta veterinarima raste za 300 posto, izvještava Daily Mail. Kako se ljudi časte tako i svojim ljubimcima nude poslastice. Neki psi mogli bi zbog toga biti toliko uzbuđeni da poslasticu pojedu prebrzo, zbog čega im ona može zapeti u grlu i izazvati gušenje.
“Takvi su incidenti uobičajeni, osobito tijekom praznika, i opasni su po život. Ako vidite da je vaš pas izbezumljen te da slini i davi se, hitno trebate posjetiti veterinara”, napominje FDA.
Šljokice ili vrpce
Šljokice i vrpce koriste se za uljepšavanje domova i umatanje darova, a svojim svjetlucavim bojama privlače pse i mačke. Ako ih životinje pojedu, mogu se zapetljati u njihovom želucu i uzrokovati infekciju, navodi FDA.
Znakovi da je ljubimac progutao šljokice ili ukrasnu vrpcu mogu se pojaviti u roku od nekoliko sati do nekoliko dana, a najčešće uključuju povraćanje, proljev, gubitak apetita i smanjenu aktivnost.
Ukrasi od slanog tijesta
Ako dijete u vrtiću ili školi izradi ukras od slanog tijesta, vjerojatno ćete ga poželjeti staviti na svoje drvce, no on može otrovati ljubimce. Jedan slani ukras općenito sadrži 48 žličica soli ili 96 puta više nego što kućni ljubimac težak pet kilograma smije pojesti.
U ranim fazama trovanja solju kućni ljubimci mogu početi sliniti, povraćati i dobiti proljev. U kasnijim stadijima trovanje može dovesti do nekoordiniranog hodanja, učestalog mokrenja, dehidracije, pojačane žeđi, napadaja, kome i smrti.
Blagdanske ukrasne biljke
Dok su božićne zvijezde, imela i božikovina popularne blagdanske ukrasne biljke u mnogim domovima, FDA upozorava da bi mogle otrovati vaše ljubimce.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Ako pas ili mačka grickaju lišće ili stabljike božićne zvijezde, mogu patiti od slinjenja i proljeva. Lišće i stabljika imele također sadrže otrove koji mogu izazvati usporen rad srca i nizak krvni tlak.
Listovi božikovine sami po sebi nisu smrtonosni, ali jarko crvene bobice su prožete otrovom koji, kada se konzumira, može izazvati slinjenje, povraćanje, proljev, gubitak apetita i smanjenu aktivnost.
Ostaci hrane
Ako mački ili psu ponudite ostatke hrane, morate znati da to može dovesti do problema. Komadići kostiju mogu zapeti u grlu kućnih ljubimaca, uzrokujući gušenje. Oštri dijelovi također mogu uzrokovati ozljede usta, grla i želuca ili probušiti crijeva.
Čokolada
Čokolada je nezaobilazan dio blagdana, ali samo dva grama te poslastice mogu biti pogubna za psa srednje veličine. Psi ne mogu razgraditi toksin brzo kao ljudi, što ih čini osjetljivijima na njegove učinke. Simptomi trovanja čokoladom kod pasa uključuju povraćanje, proljev, nemir, hiperaktivnost, pojačano mokrenje i napadaje.
Vrećice čipsa
Prazne vrećice čipsa također predstavljaju opasnost za kućne ljubimce koji mogu nanjušiti miris hrane i zabadati glave unutra kako bi polizali ostatke. U nekim slučajevima vrećice im mogu zapeti na glavi, što ih dovodi u opasnost od gušenja.
Kako bi se to izbjeglo, FDA kaže da treba osigurati da se sve vrećice pravilno bace nakon upotrebe te da se ne ostavljaju tamo gdje ih kućni ljubimci mogu dohvatiti.
Opušci cigareta
Ako u svom domu imate goste i na stolu ostavite pepeljaru punu opušaka, pripazite na svog ljubimca. Psi mogu pojesti opuške i otrovati se nikotinom. Simptomi uključuju drhtavicu, slinjenje, povraćanje i proljev. Čak i male doze nikotina mogu uzrokovati napadaje, smanjenu aktivnost, usporeno disanje, usporen rad srca ili smrt.

India and South Africa are set to clash in the Boxing Day Test match, at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, starting December 26. Fans would be keen on watching some intense cricketing action between the two nations as India hope to win a Test series in South Africa for the first time in history. But there remains a major rain threat hovering over this match. As per weather reports, there is a good chance that play will be interrupted by rain the first two days of this Test match. The Indian cricket team did not have a practice session on Monday (December 25) due to rain and it remains to be seen if the weather will make an impact on this match. India vs South Africa, 1st Test 2023, Centurion Weather Report: Check Out the Rain Forecast and Pitch Report at SuperSport Park.
The curator of SuperSport Park had earlier stated that there is a good chance rain will play spoilsport on the opening two days of this match. For Day 1 (December 26) of the IND vs SA 1st Test, the weather forecast does not look very good. There is a good chance of thunderstorms during the time of the match. Even if there is no rain, the cloud cover is 84% at the start of the match. Keeping that in mind, fans can expect rain to hamper proceedings on Day 1 of this IND vs SA 1st Test. ‘You Will Get an Answer for Sure in Due Course’ Says Team India Captain Rohit Sharma On His T20I Future.
The overcast conditions in Centurion will certainly offer some help for the fast bowlers and the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Kagiso Rabada would enjoy bowling in such conditions. India would be aiming to make history by beating South Africa in their own backyard for the first time in a Test series and for that, they would need to play exceptionally well. In 2021-22, India had won the first Test before losing the next two, going on to concede the series.

The A-Z Series: This series of short articles explores how familiar objects from everyday life embody concepts and values dear to the urban Indian middle class. It takes a light-hearted and humorous look at how objects shape our wants & desires, lives, and lifestyles, ultimately making us who we are as a people.
As a young child, I spent some years in Meerut, where electricity cuts were very common. They came like uninvited guests, interrupting everything important to me — watching my favourite cartoon shows and working on school projects. Schools are often powered by diesel generators; so, evenings at home were the only time when I felt the power cuts’ cruel presence. Maa and I devised a strategy to deal with these. “Light chaligayi!” (there is a power cut!), I would mumble shakily, afraid of the ghosts which lay waiting for me. Armed with a torchlight, Maa would hold my tiny hand, and we would go to the balcony. Under starry nights and the glow of fireflies, we recited our favourite poems together, shared stories and did math quizzes. And magically, in no time, the electricity was restored.
A year or so later, the inverter came into our lives. We were no longer at the mercy of our fate or the electricity board. Most times we didn’t even realise if a power cut had happened. For a child who was seriously concerned about ghosts in the dark, this was a huge relief.
It’s strange what having an inverter can do to a child’s sense of social display. When a power cut happened during a friend’s 9th birthday party, I commented very loudly, “Well, this doesn’t happen at our place!” The embarrassed family got an inverter the very next day.
Life had a way of humbling me though. The inverter wasn’t connected to the television, so my one hour TV time was still severely affected during power cuts. “At least everything else is working, let’s be grateful for that”, Maa sternly told me. I sighed. Alas, she wouldn’t understand the tight schedule I was working on.
I also came to understand that if there were power cuts for hours on end, the magic of the inverter gave way. If you got too excited (like I did, as a young child), you could switch on too many lights and turn on too many devices. The inverter would instantly respond with an intense beep, which can be loosely translated to “I’ve had enough of this”. I would then frantically run across rooms to switch-off all the extra lights and fans till I had appeased the inverter.
If this wasn’t enough, the inverter had an expensive taste. We had to ensure that its batteries had enough distilled water, so that it would run smoothly over long periods of time. “Everything has a cost”, my young, middle-class mind determined.
“In our time, candles and emergency lights were the only backup options”, my nani once remarked. “You should be glad and conserve electricity. Don’t unnecessarily turn on fans and lights.” Needless to say, my dreams of using the inverter for unlimited power supply were quashed entirely after this.
As I’ve grown older and shifted around the country, the inverter has accompanied me everywhere. It has saved me from missing several online meetings, kept my fan alive on hot summer nights and hasn’t let me down when a power cut threatened to ruin parties and gatherings.
My brother recently expressed his disappointment about how the inverter doesn’t power the wifi and his gaming console. “At least everything else is working, let’s be grateful for that”, I muttered instantly, and realised that my moment of true middle-class-ness had arrived. I had truly grown up now. My brother sighed. Alas, I wouldn’t understand the tight schedule he was working on.

OSIM što su vrijeme radosti i sreće, božićni blagdani su i vrhunac srčanih udara. Udruga američkih liječnika kaže da je Božić dan s najviše srčanih udara u godini, a odmah iza njega slijede blagdan svetog Stjepana i Nova godina.
Povrh toga, studija predstavljena na konferenciji British Cardiovascular Society u lipnju ove godine otkrila je da je daleko veća vjerojatnost da ćemo doživjeti srčani udar u ponedjeljak nego bilo koji drugi dan u tjednu – upravo na dan kada ove godine pada Božić.
Jedan od razloga za ovaj povećani rizik je hladnije vrijeme, što znači da srce mora više raditi kako bi nam bilo toplo, što povećava rizik od krvnih ugrušaka. U ovo doba godine postoji i veća vjerojatnost od zaraze gripom, koja može dovesti do povećanja broja krvnih ugrušaka i upala.
Povrh toga, na blagdane smo neumjereni u jelu i piću. Jedno istraživanje pokazalo je da ljudi samo na Božić unose oko 6000 kalorija, što dodatno opterećuje srce. Drugi mogući uzroci božićne koronarne bolesti uključuju povećani stres (nisu sva obiteljska okupljanja sretna) i poremećaje sna.
Kako se zaštititi?
“Teško je odoljeti poslasticama, ali pokušavam grickati više oraha i badema jer su bogati proteinima i zdravim mastima, za koje se pokazalo da smanjuju rizik od srčanih bolesti. Na svaku čašu alkoholnog pića popijem čašu vode”, kaže dr. Michael Mosley.

Popularni britanski TV doktor nakon svakog obilnog obroka ide u brzu šetnju jer to pomaže preusmjeriti dio masnoće i šećera iz krvi u mišiće, gdje se mogu sigurno sagorjeti.
“Smatram da je polagano, duboko disanje posebno korisno kada sam budan tijekom noći jer me brzo uspava, a to je važno jer je loš san još jedan veliki faktor rizika kada je u pitanju srčani udar”, dodao je za Daily Mail.
Na kraju, dr. Mosley savjetuje da nabavite tlakomjer ako ga već nemate.
“To je jedini način da znate je li vam tlak povišen, a on je glavni uzrok srčanih udara”, zaključio je.

AKO IMATE macu, onda se vjerojatno ovih blagdanskih dana borite s tim da je naučite da ne skače na blagovaonski stol. U nastavku ćemo vam dati nekoliko korisnih savjeta kako biste olakšali ovaj proces.
Stvorite siguran prostor za mačku
Prije nego što krenete u proces učenja, važno je da osigurate prostor u kojem će se vaša mačka osjećati udobno i sigurno. Ako ima svoj kutak, manje će biti sklona tražiti zabavu na stolu.
Postavite granice
Koristite jasne naredbe kako biste komunicirali sa svojom mačkom. Kada primijetite da se mačka penje na stol, upotrijebite nježan glas i izgovorite “ne” ili “dolje”. Budite dosljedni u primjeni ovih naredbi kako bi vaša mačka shvatila što želite od nje.
Koristite repelente
Na tržištu možete pronaći različite repelente za mačke koji će pomoći odvratiti ih od skakanja na stol. Ovi proizvodi obično sadrže prirodne mirise koje mačke ne vole. Nanesite ih na stol ili oko njega kako biste stvorili nelagodnost za mačku.
Pohvalite i nagrađujte
Kada primijetite da se vaša mačka pridržava pravila i ne skače na stol, nagradite je. Pohvalite je nježnim riječima ili poslasticom kako biste pozitivno pojačali njezino ponašanje. Mačke često reagiraju na pozitivno pojačanje.

Igrajte se i vježbajte
Aktivnosti i igre su odličan način da iscrpite energiju mačke. Redovno se igrajte s njom i omogućite joj fizičku aktivnost kako biste smanjili želju za istraživanjem stola.
Povećajte dostupnost alternativnih površina
Postavite nekoliko visokih i privlačnih površina na kojima će vaša mačka moći skačući zadovoljiti svoju znatiželju. Stvaranje alternativnih opcija za penjanje može značajno smanjiti njezinu sklonost stolu.
Strpljenje i dosljednost
Učenje mačke da ne skače na stol može potrajati neko vrijeme, tako da budite strpljivi i dosljedni u primjeni ovih metoda. Ne koristite nikakvu fizičku silu ili viku jer to može samo izazvati stres kod vaše mačke.
Zapamtite da svaka mačka ima jedinstvenu osobnost i ponašanje, pa je moguće da će neki od ovih savjeta bolje funkcionirati nego drugi. Važno je prilagoditi svoj pristup potrebama i karakteru mačke.

ONI koji žive u manjem prostoru jako dobro znaju koliko je važno uštedjeti svaki njegov centimetar. Kutovi često ostaju neiskorišteni, a upravo zato pružaju izvrsnu priliku za dodatan prostor za pohranu, odnosno idealna su mjesta za postavljanje dodatnih polica.
Estetički privlačno rješenje
Kutne police mogu vizualno biti vrlo privlačne. Na jednostavan način pružaju organizirani izgled prostoru, a ako na njih postavite ukrase, knjige ili kuhinjsku opremu, spajate lijep izgled i funkcionalnost.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
S obzirom na različitost dizajna u kojima dolaze, kutne police i same po sebi mogu biti dobar ukras. Svakako, kao i bilo koje druge police, neprocjenjive su za uštedu prostora u domu. U malim prostorima je uvijek pametno pohranjivati u visinu.
Ovakva polica u industrijskom stilu odlično će izgledati u gotovo svakom suvremeno uređenom domu. Sastavljanje police je jednostavno i ne bi vam trebalo uzeti više od nekoliko minuta. Kupci na Amazonu su procijenili kako je čvrsta, jednostavna za sastavljanje i odlična vrijednost za novac.
Kutne police nisu rezervirane samo za dnevni boravak, stoga smo izdvojili i one manje koje će odlično izgledati na zidu u kuhinji ili pak u kupaonici. Kupaonske police trebale bi biti od materijala koji voda neće oštetiti, kao što je nehrđajući čelik.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 24: Bengaluru FC bounced back with a late equaliser by the 22-year-old Sivasakthi Narayanan to settle for a point after a 1-1 draw against NorthEast United at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 to start off the Sunday doubleheader. The two teams, seeking much-needed momentum, commenced the proceedings on Christmas Eve as the City of Gardens decked up beautifully to celebrate the festive season. However, celebrations didn’t come easy for the Blues early in the match, who faltered in their numerous attempts to draw the first blood in this encounter, as per an ISL press release.Liston Colaco Banned For Four Games, Akash Mishra, Greg Stewart Handed Three-Match Suspensions in Aftermath of Heated Mumbai City vs Mohun Bagan Super Giant ISL 2023-24 Clash.
Javi Hernandez and Ryan Williams, who replaced Slavko Damjanovic in the starting XI, cam together to keep the NorthEast United FC defence on their toes. Williams was finding it easy to get into the wider areas of the 18-yard box, delivering quick, short passes for the onrushing Hernandez and Sunil Chhetri in the middle. However, neither Hernandez nor Chhetri was successful in shooting on target, as they missed rather golden opportunities to get a lead with their respective efforts in the 17th and the 47th minutes with the ball sailing above the posts.
For a long stretch of the proceedings, it appeared that a drab, goalless draw was on the cards. NorthEast United FC did not make many chances, but one particular long-distance shot from Jithin M.S. in the 56th minute required a fully stretched Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to palm the ball away. Steadily, they capitalised on a Bengaluru FC backline that was arguably dropping their guard, as the fleet-footed Parthib Gogoi earned a spot-kick for the Highlanders in the 86th minute.
Up stepped Nestor Albiach to take the penalty, as he shot it with such firm power and precision that Sandhu couldn’t help his team’s cause this time around. However, what that goal did was it reinvigorate the spirits of the home side, who perhaps realised the repercussions that could have come with another home defeat. They pressed all their buttons, attacking the box from lateral areas, and a curling, accurate cross by Jessel Carneiro from the left flank was met perfectly and nodded home by substitute Sivasakthi to salvage a point for the Gerard Zaragoza-coached side.
-Key Performer of the Match
Jessel Carneiro (Bengaluru FC)
Jessel made a whopping 57 passes, completing 45 of them in this game. He made two clearances and interceptions each, in addition to tackling once, and creating a couple of goal-scoring opportunities to deliver an all-round effort. His assist for Sivasakthi’s goal was both timely and skilful, and the former Kerala Blasters FC star will be hoping to build on this performance going ahead in the season.
-What’s next for both teams?

China approved 105 domestic games on Monday, the latest indication that Beijing is softening its stance after its move to tighten industry restrictions led to a $80 billion rout last week.
The titles included those operated by Tencent Holdings Ltd. and NetEase Inc., China’s two leading game publishers that have been pummeled by Beijing’s new rules. Monday’s approvals show the Chinese authorities support the development of online gaming, an industry association said in a post on WeChat republished by the official Xinhua news agency.
Chinese officials rekindled fear that they will start another round of tech crackdowns after top gaming regulator National Press and Publication Administration announced on Friday new rules to limit the development of online games, including an unspecified cap on spending by adult players.
Additional restrictions include a ban on rewards for frequent log-ins and forced player-duels, and even a prohibition on content that violates national security.
As Tencent and NetEase saw their market value plunge by tens of billions of dollars in Hong Kong on Friday, the NPPA announced during trading hours the approval of 40 imported gaming titles, including those operated by the two companies. The move did little to help restore investors’ confidence.
Several analysts including those from Citi also said shortly after the new restrictions came out that Tencent and NetEase should not be significantly affected, but that did not prevent the shares of both companies from tumbling in US trading.
The administration said on Saturday that it will listen to feedback from stakeholders including companies and players to improve the rules.
The sweeping restrictions, which caught industry players and investors off guard on the final trading day before Christmas, reminded many of the brutal tech-sector crackdown of 2021. That year, various agencies abruptly imposed curbs on sectors from e-commerce to entertainment, reining in Jack Ma-backed Ant Group Co. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. while decimating the online education industry by declaring profits illegal.
“The latest events reflect the government’s desire for a larger, more diverse gaming landscape with innovative content of a higher quality but one without excessive monetization or ‘pay-to-win’ games,” Yang Wenfeng, a senior vice president with Shanghai-based games studio Paper Games said. “The government prefers publishers to earn profits through fair practices and product innovation, rather than deepening monetization strategies.”

MUMBAI: A special screening of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Dunki” will be held on December 28 here for representatives of several countries, including the US, the UK, France, South Korea and Australia.
“Dunki”, based on an illegal immigration technique ‘donkey flight’, is directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
The comedy-drama has grossed Rs 157. 22 crore at the global box office since its release on Thursday.
“Dunki has arrived on the big screens and in no time has started to rule the hearts of the audience…With its compelling story, the film has brought a significant subject to the masses that speaks about the illegal immigrants who take the donkey route to go abroad. Amid its successful run in the theatres, a special screening will be held for the consulates of various nations on 28th December,” a member of Hirani’s team said in a statement.
The representatives of Belgium, Germany, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Spain, Turkey, and the Netherlands are also expected to attend the event, the member further said.
“Dunki” also stars Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover.
A JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films presentation, the film is produced by Hirani and Gauri Khan.
It is written by Abhijat Joshi, Hirani and Kanika Dhillon.
Nifty 50 began today’s session with 21,295.85 versus Thursday’s close of 21,255.05. The index added gains post the open and is now at 21,340, up 0.4 per cent.
The advance/decline ratio of Nifty 50 stands at 43/7, giving the index a positive bias. Like the benchmark, all mid- and small-cap indices are in the green.
Besides, all sectoral indices have advanced. Nifty Realty and Nifty Metal, up 1.8 and 1.6 per cent respectively, are the top gainers.
The equity market across Asia too exhibits a positive bias. Among the majors, Nikkei 225 (33,200), ASX 200 (7,510) and KOSPI (2,600) are up between 0.2 and 0.4 per cent.

Nifty 50 futures
The December futures contract of Nifty 50 opened today’s session higher at 21,401.55 as against yesterday’s close of 21,350.40. It is now hovering around 21,400, up 0.25 per cent.
Although 21,420 is a potential hurdle, the contract is likely to rally past this level and touch 21,500, the nearest barrier above 21,420.
On the other hand, if the contract declines from here, it can find support at 21,320. Subsequent support is at 21,200. That said, a fall below 21,320 is less likely to happen today.
Trading strategy
Buy Nifty futures now at 21,400. Add longs in case the price dips to 21,320. Place stop-loss at 21,270. When the contract touches 21,450, raise the stop-loss to 21,380. Exit at 21,500.
For a year that started with inflation and recession worries and fears that it would impact ad volumes, brand spends on campaigns remained fairly healthy in 2023 — thanks to marquee events like the IPL in the first half of the year, and the cricket World Cup in the latter half, coinciding with the festive season.
According to Magna, ad spend in India grew by 9.6 per cent in the first half of 2023, but accelerated to 13.8 per cent in the second half. While a question mark still remain over the economy, next year events like the national elections will continue to power ad spends is the belief. In terms of where the money went, digital continued its relentless march, closing the gap rapidly with broadcast.
As far as ad content went, a lot of confused messaging and lazy communication happened in 2023 reflecting the chaos and churn that ad agencies are going through — case in point the end of the year Drink It Up campaign by Bisleri starring Deepika Padukone, which sees the star in a silver spangled suit gyrating to a modern take of Jhoom Jhoom Jhoom Baba. The connection with bottled water is not apparent.
But there was also plenty of clutter breaking work. Agencies and brands seemed to have perfected the art of moment marketing rising quickly to occasions like Chandrayaan. The way Ola quickly changed its drop location to the moon was innovative. It was also a year when AI made a powerful entry into the Indian ad world and computer generated imagery (CGI) lifted the Out-of-Home category into a funky space. Here’s a recap of some good work that caught the eye.
The humour route
Humour in advertising is a tough act as there is a thin line between slapstick, crude comedy and genuinely rib-tickling stuff. Several brands managed to put out sophisticated campaigns. Fevicol, which has been associated with quirky thinking, came up with another ace with its witty game of chairs campaign created by Ogilvy India. At a crowded rural sports event, how do you hold on to your chair — Fevicol’s jugaad filled solution to the fight for seats was a fun campaign.
Licious came up with several humorous campaigns including a delightful Pujo special where it played on the inter-community rivalry between ghotis and bangals. Incidentally, a lot of brands, including Coca-Cola, Cadbury, Asian Paints, PhonePe did regional focussed campaigns really well, bringing out cultural nuances deliciously.
Buzzing Billboards
The OOH (out-of-home) category has become exciting with the use of CGI that allows brands to bring larger than life experiences on to billboards, buses et al.
We saw several good campaigns using technology but the one that wowed the most was Taj Mahal tea’s Megh Santoor musical installation in Vijayawada. Inspired by rains, and activated by them, the musical instrument even entered the Guinness Book for being the largest environmentally interactive billboard. The instrument played only when it rains. For a brand that has always been associated with Hindustani Classical music, it was strengthening a known association while displaying sublime creativity. Wah Taj!
Emotional storytelling
There were several great campaigns in this space, especially during the festival period of Diwali. Brands conceived heart tugging stories even as they touched upon socially relevant themes. HP India’s Walk to the Light campaign that depicted the anxieties of an elderly couple running a store and how digital transformation eased their worries was a moving ad.
We also loved McDonald’s continuation of its 2020 Eatqual campaign that had seen the brand adding inclusive features for the physically handicapped. In its 2023 campaign, the brand addressed colour blindness. Brooke Bond Red Label’s brand campaign on World Social Media day titled India’s favourite social network made by Ogilvy also touched a chord. The real social network is bonding over a cup of tea as the emotion packed campaign shows.
Use of AI and technology
The prediction is that we are going to see more and more AI generated ad campaigns going forward. Chinese appliances brand Haier’s AI-created Diwali ad campaign that fused cricket with festivities caught the eye as did MG Motors interesting use of AI for its 100 years celebratory Driving Smiles campaign. It got cutting edge AI technology to come up with a rendition of its founder Cecil Kimber, who comes back to life to deliver a special message to India.
Celebrities in campaigns
For the most part, the use of celebrities in campaigns looked like lazy marketing, with poor fit and not much thought put into using the star well. Instead of leading to quick brand recall, using overexposed celebrities, especially cricketers during the World Cup looked more like a self goal. However there were some exceptions. CRED has managed to break through the clutter consistently and this year too it scored by getting Zeenat Aman to star in its anti-advertising campaign on linking RuPay credit cards with UPI. Witty, elegant and sassy, Zeenat Aman charmed us as she pondered on life’s purpose.
But the best use of celebrity was to our mind, by Subway which used chess champ Viswanathan Anand in a witty campaign. Entering a Subway outlet, Anand is shown sweating as there are too many choices of fillings — his chess brain kicks into action and he is shown rapidly calculating. The condiment checkmate has him bolting for the exit until he is offered the ready-made option. We loved it.
OVIH dana u povećim količinama konzumira se masna i slatka hrana, kao i alkohol. Iako nas sve to čini veselima, riječ je o hrani i piću koji mogu uzrokovati nadutost i druge probavne tegobe. Zato nutricionist slavnih Daryl Gioffre za ove dane preporučuje pojačanu konzumaciju određenih namirnica koje jačaju zdravlje crijeva.
“Na svoju utrobu morate gledati kao na vrt u kojem želite više cvijeća, a manje korova. Metaforički rečeno, dobre bakterije su cvijeće, a loše bakterije korov. Nažalost, kod većine prevladava korov”, objasnio je.
Postoje neke namirnice koje mogu pomoći zamijeniti loše bakterije dobrima, dodaje Gioffre te otkriva što je sve na popisu hrane koju preporučuje svima.
Zeleno lisnato povrće
Zeleno lisnato povrće ima puno kalija i magnezija. To su minerali koji smanjuju upalu u crijevima i neutraliziraju kiselinu. Gioffre preporučuje špinat, kelj i zelenu salatu, koje možete jesti u obliku juhe ili salate, ali i zelenog soka ili smoothieja.

The Bank Nifty index is trading higher. The index is currently at 47,930, up 0.20 per cent. The advances/ declines ratio is at 11:1. This indicates the overall strength in the index. HDFC Bank, down 0.6 per cent, is the only stock in the red. Kotak Mahindra Bank is the outperformer in the index. The stock is up 1.17 per cent.
Outlook
The strong bounce from the low of 46,919 on Thursday is a positive. While intraday support is at 47,720, resistance is at 48,170. A break-out on either side of these levels will set the path for the Bank Nifty index going forward.
A decisive break above 48,170 will be bullish and could take the index up to 48,500 and higher. On the other hand, a break below 47,720 will be bearish. It can drag the index down to 47,000 again. We will have to wait and watch.
Bank Nifty futures
The Bank Nifty December (48,020) futures is trading lower. The contract is down 0.18 per cent. It faces resistance at 48,180, and has been edging down from this level. Intraday support at 47,770 can be tested during the day. A break below it will increase the selling pressure. Such a break can drag the contract lower to 47,400 and 47,000.
On the other hand, a sustained rise above 48,200 would bring back the bullishness. Only in that case will the contract gain momentum to rise towards 48,700 and higher.
Trade Strategy
We suggest traders stay out of the market today. See how the index closes for the week. Trades can be taken accordingly next week.
What was on your plate in 2023? With millet mania sweeping the country, you must have added it to your meal plan. All major food brands as well as start-ups served up ragi, foxtail, barnyard and kodo millet in one form or the other — from dosa mixes to atta to breakfast cereals.
But other flavourful things happened in the food industry too. Korean ramyeon became a craze, protein popped, we went nuts over nuts, seeds and berries, rediscovered regional repasts and, of course, health and wellness boomed, even as indulgence showed innovation.
Here are the top trends this year, picked out by two seasoned food industry veterans — Rinka Banerjee, founder of Thinking Forks Consulting and KS Narayanan, former MD, McCain Foods, and ex-President, VKL Seasonings. Both have a Unilever background and both are currently helping brands in the food sector innovate and scale.
Healthy portions
Gone are the days when the healthier alternative in packaged foods was usually costlier, and had a niche audience. Covid made health and wellness a top priority and brands are putting it on the centre of the plate, targeting the masses. “Investors and brands are looking at the belly of the market,” says Banerjee. She says 70 to 80 per cent of the launches she has helped with recently are health and wellness oriented, either focussing on high fibre, high protein, or riding on Ayurveda.
Narayanan who has helped scale True Elements, a start-up brand that provides healthy breakfast and snacks and been acquired by Marico, agrees. “Earlier adding health in a food offering was more of a guilt assuaging act – you would see seeds being added on a croissant and so on. Now, I am seeing healthfulness getting into menus and foods in a bigger way,” he says. Pointing to the mainstreaming of millet, he cites the example of how even Amul has come up with a crispy millet cone for its ice-cream. Banerjee says that the health factor has fuelled a lot of interest in using Ayurveda ingredients in food products. For instance, Ashwagandha is now commonly seen. Kapiva is a D2C brand that has products based on Ayurveda. Going forward she says probiotics will be seen in a bigger way in this category.
Indulgence & Innovation
Even as India is putting healthier stuff on its plates, the indulgence category continues to boom and has become more interesting. Brands like 4700 BC which gave us gourmet popcorn in inventive flavours such as nutty chocolate and salted caramel, are really pushing the envelope on innovative new offerings. Bakeries and mithai shops are experimenting heavily on cakes and sweets even as a host of new entrants are re-imagining products. Take Manam Chocolates’ unique confections, for instance. We are also seeing stuff like rasmalai tiramisu, and cranberry flavoured kaju katli.
Indianness to the fore
A trend that Narayanan highlights is the way “Indianness” has become stronger across the food sector. “We are seeing a cross pollination of Indian cuisines – a wedding in Agra will have a Gujarati food counter, hotels in Delhi may have a Kerala cuisine pop up,” he says. Indeed, Indians have developed a taste for authentic regional delicacies – so much so that Zomato started “Intercity Legends’, flying in the best from every region, be it baked rasgullas from Kolkata, pyaaz kachori from Jaipur or biryani from Hyderabad.
Ethnic flavours are big, agrees Banerjee. She gives the example of how Tasty Tales, a start-up, picked up recipes of our grandmothers and made ready-to-cook pastes for millennials — from dilli wale chhole, nolen gur kheer to Bengali mustard prawns. Or take the way Pepsi launched Kurkure chaat fills this September, highlighting the flavours of Indian street food.
As Indian consumers open up to the diverse tastes within the country itself, food is bringing the country closer. At World Food India held in Delhi, for instance, it was interesting to see a big crowd around a Manipuri stall that was promoting its black rice-based crispy breakfast cereal brand, Chak-Hao Pops.
Korean craze
While there is huge interest in ethnic cuisine, consumers are also embracing more diverse international flavours in a big way. But it is Korean cuisine or K-Food that took the market by storm in 2023. Move over Maggi as the instant noodles that millennials were seen ordering a lot were Nongshim Shin Ramyun, Nongshim Neoguri Ramyeon , Paldo Dakgalbi and other Korean offerings. Quick commerce and grocery store shelves are now full of these packs and food bloggers are putting out K-food recipes on instagram.
“Consumers are becoming highly experimental. At the same time, a trend I see is the big narrowing of the gap between fresh food and packaged food,” says Banerjee. So, if Indians are developing a taste for, say, hummus or Korean spices, you will soon see those flavours being available in packaged form as well.
Proteins pop
At the start of the year, at a marketing conclave in Delhi, Amul chief, Jayen Mehta, in his presentation delved on the growth of protein as a category. He described how Amul had launched high-protein buttermilk. Both Banerjee and Narayanan agree that protein as a category is moving beyond fitness enthusiasts and has become the USP for products sold to kids, elderly, vegetarians et al. “We have done work for an ageing population that starts to lose muscle mass, patenting a particular product,” says Banerjee. She says that earlier India was mainly focussed on milk protein, but beyond dairy, you are now seeing development in proteins from mushrooms, from chickpeas and internationally from seaweed too.
Narayanan says that within proteins, he is seeing big growth in nuts, seeds, berries, with a lot of brands entering the market. “Peanut butter has become a big category now. There is also the introduction of Tempeh in the Indian market with local flavours and protein rich ice cream,” he says.
Energy drinks go mass
For Narayanan, a significant trend this year is the mainstreaming of energy drinks. Pepsi’s introduction of Sting in PET bottles, priced at an affordable ₹20, has been a game changer for the category. “Children, adults, construction workers, everyone has taken to the drink,” says Narayanan. While there is still a premium segment in cans, led by Red Bull, it’s the mass segment that has become interesting with the Tatas entering the space with the launch of its Say Never energy drink brand.
Valorising waste
The food sector has also done a lot of interesting work around packaging. Two trends have led to packaging innovation. One is what Narayanan terms as ‘Eatertainment’. “This trend of taking photos of everything you eat or drink has led to better packaging and superior food presentation,” he says.
Banerjee talks about sustainability driving packaging innovation. “We have done interesting work outside of India on valorising waste, working with banana peels,” she says. A good example is ID Foods serving grated coconut in a coconut shell. Well, there’s plenty to chew on as we head into 2024!
SOK OD NARANČE često se ističe kao jedan od omiljenih načina za zdrav početak dana. Najčešće sokove kupujemo u trgovinama, a kada nam se da, sami iscijedimo naranče i pijemo domaću verziju. No postavlja se pitanje koliko je sok od naranče zapravo zdrav i kakve dobrobiti za zdravlje dobivamo dok ga pijemo.
Na ovo pitanje odgovorila je dijetetičarka Maggie Michalczyk, koja tvrdi da to ovisi o tome što se nalazi u soku od naranče, odnosno informacijama i popisu sastojaka na pakiranju. “Sok od naranče može biti dio zdrave prehrane jer je prepun vitamina C, kalija i drugih bitnih nutrijenata. Međutim, neke vrste soka od naranče mogu sadržavati dodane šećere i manje hranjivih tvari nego svježe cijeđeni ili 100 posto prirodni sokovi.”
Dodaje da je važno biti svjestan koliko se šećera i drugih sastojaka nalazi u pićima koje konzumiramo. “Sok od naranče može biti zdrav dodatak dobro uravnoteženoj prehrani, ali nije svaki sok od naranče isti”, kaže Michalczyk, a s njom se složila i dijetetičarka Erica Ingraham.
“Sok od naranče je bogat izvor vitamina C, za koji je poznato da blagotvorno djeluje na imunološki sustav”, objašnjava Erica i dodaje da je sok od naranče bogat kalijem, koji je važan za zdravlje srca i rad mišića, piše Parade.
Kako redovita konzumacija soka od naranče utječe na naše tijelo?
Redovito konzumiranje soka od naranče, dok god je bez dodanih šećera, može pozitivno utjecati na naše tijelo.

“Sok od naranče je bogat izvor vitamina C, koji pomaže u održavanju imunološkog sustava. Točnije, vitamin C je uključen u rast i popravak tkiva, što može pomoći pri oporavku od bolesti i ozljeda”, objašnjava Ingraham.
Ako pijemo sok od naranče obogaćen vitaminom D, Ingraham dodaje da to dodatno osnažuje imunološki sustav. Vitamin D pomaže imunološkim stanicama u obrani od patogena poput bakterija i virusa.
Dugoročno, konzumacija soka od naranče može pomoći u promicanju zdravlja kože, zdravlja srca i povećanju imuniteta zbog hranjivih tvari i antioksidansa, ističe Michalczyk.
Dijetetičarke ističu da ipak ne treba pretjerivati s porcijama soka na dnevnoj bazi jer čak i šećer koji dolazi iz voća može negativno utjecati na tijelo ako se konzumira u prekomjernim količinama. Dodaju da je najbolje popiti čašu soka od naranče uz doručak koji sadrži proteine i nezasićene masti, prenosi Parade.

SVATKO tko je vlasnik narančaste mačke potvrdit će vam da one zaista ponekad imaju čudno i smiješno ponašanje. Glasne su, vrckave i vrlo društvene.
Njihove vratolomije uvijek nasmiju do suza
Na TikTok profilu na kojem se objavljuju smiješne snimke mačaka jedan je video posvećen upravo neobičnom ponašanju narančastih mačaka.
U njemu je prikazano sve uobičajeno za jednog narančastog ljubimca – iz čistog mira ugrize svog vlasnika pa pobjegne, skoči kroz prozor, obori na pod drugu mačku ili psa, često pada dok se igra po kući, voli plašiti svoje vlasnike, radi čudne grimase, priča, trči po cijeloj kući, penje se na zid…
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
No, nisu narančaste mačke po cijeli dan ovakve kakve su prikazane u videu. Imaju one svoje vrijeme za maženje s vlasnikom, a vole i uživati u vremenu za predah od vratolomija po kući ili dvorištu.
Zaista su posebne
Narančaste mačke imaju i svoj dan, odnosno 1. rujna slavi se Ginger Cat Appreciation Day.
Jedno nedavno istraživanje pokazalo je da su narančaste mačke najdruštvenije od svih mačaka, ali isto tako i uživaju u jelu pa im nije problem grickati gotovo cijeli dan, što ponekad prouzrokuje pretilost.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
BILO da želite opuštanje na kauču ili dodatnu toplinu u hladnim noćima, prekrivač je neophodan. Ako ste poput nas, vjerojatno ne možete odoljeti tome da pokupite još jedan mekan, ugodan primjerak kad ga ugledate u trgovini. Međutim pronalaženje odgovarajućeg mjesta za njihovo pohranjivanje može biti izazov, pogotovo ako želite nešto što je i funkcionalno i estetski privlačno.
Iako je divno imati prekrivač pri ruci kada vam zatreba ili poželite, možda ne želite da svi vaši prekrivači završe samo nagomilani na kauču ili razbacani po naslonjaču. Srećom, postoje pametne (i moderne) ideje za pohranu pokrivača.
Košare
U trgovini Zara smo otkrili nekoliko predivnih košara. S obzirom na široku ponudu, svatko će bez sumnje pronaći nešto što će se uklopiti u njihov interijer.

Ljestve
Ljestve za odlaganje, čak i one manje namijenjene ručnicima, izvrsne su za vješanje deka, posebno u manjim prostorima.
Kutije
Kutije, poput košara, mogu se smjestiti gotovo bilo gdje, a ako imate police, lako ih možete postaviti i tamo.

Benchmark equity indices began the trade on an optimistic note on Friday tracking firm global market trends.
The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 180.55 points to 71,045.65 in early trade. The Nifty went up by 58 points to 21,313.05.
However, both the benchmark indices faced volatile trends after early optimism but later bounced back to trade with significant gains.
Among the Sensex firms, Tata Steel, Tata Motors, NTPC, JSW Steel, Sun Pharma and Bajaj Finance were the major winners.
Infosys, HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, Tata Consultancy Services, ICICI Bank and IndusInd Bank were among the laggards.
In Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo and Shanghai were trading with gains while Hong Kong quoted lower.
The US markets ended in the positive territory on Thursday.
“Despite FIIs selling and concerns about the Omicron variant, optimism prevails with expected Federal Reserve rate cuts and positive sentiments on India’s growth,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.92 per cent to $80.12 a barrel.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,636.19 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data.
The BSE benchmark jumped 358.79 points or 0.51 per cent to settle at 70,865.10 on Thursday. The Nifty rallied 104.90 points or 0.50 per cent to 21,255.05.
So we’ve come to the last column of the year and before anything else, thanks for your support. For the last column this year, some of you wanted me to cover small companies/organisations/creators who use digital in a smart, unconventional way. How they bring together content, communities, collabs and so on. Here goes.
I met 145 EAST a month back, on a trip to Kolkata. Nestled in a quiet lane in Jodhpur Park, 145 is a ‘design collective’ which spotlights the humble gamcha, familiar to most East Indians as a sort of headgear/towel/wearable for the masses. Their aesthetic is very Kolkata-Western, and you could easily wear a 145 dress/skirt/shirt to a Cannes opening or a South Mumbai divorce. Who could have imagined the gamcha elevated to such fashionable creations — from trendy palazzos to sarees and reversible bustiers. I thought the prices were a little on the higher side, or at least the fashion-conscious metro buyer, though. OK for NRI bongs of course.
145 was founded to help local weavers and artisans and took off during Covid. I met the team at their office/studio, and I have rarely felt such positive, fun energy — what’s interesting is they create their own content, which is the best in India in their category. In a few other categories too — they could teach big content agencies a thing or two. It’s very cool, cultural and has kick-ass nuances I could instantly relate to. For instance, their take during Pujo on everything from cuisine to old homes leaves you with a sense of nostalgia and longing.
Purpleblue House are Delhi-based and India’s first Sci-art-driven Creative Lab. So what’s sci-art? And what do they do, are they yet another ad agency?
“Sci-art” is a term that combines science and art and is an interdisciplinary practice that merges scientific exploration and artistic expression. In sci-art, artists collaborate with scientists or draw inspiration from scientific concepts, data or methods to create works that engage with scientific ideas in a creative and often visually striking manner.
For example, for their work on a health food brand, PurpleBlue took a deep dive into the world of flora and fauna to understand the plant ecosystem, which brought alive the vibrancy of microgreens and ended up defining the colour palette.
What I find most interesting are their conversations with scientists, looking for possible connections. From discussing data computation in gastronomy with an IIT scientist, Dr Ganesh Bagler, to studying the implications of SciArt in sectors such as food and nutrition, agri-tech, architecture, renewable energy, they’re as good as a research hub as a communications agency.
How can I not mention Orry, the clown prince of Indian influencers? I think Orhan Awatramani killed it this year. The only thing that came close was the SRK blockbuster, Jawan or Pathan. Or both.
Orry represents the collective desire of a new, testosterone-fuelled young urban India that is impatient to become famous, even if it’s doing… nothing, really. But mark my words, Orry’s time is limited and the same moochers who gave him a free ride are the ones who’ll drop him once they find him no longer useful. He’s in dangerous territory, has not built any value.
Next, adult toys. I think 2023 was the year adult toys really cracked the online market. They were all over Insta with saucy, sarcy, in-your-face humour.
A few brands creating a lot of buzz online (pun unintended) are Lovetreats, IMbesharam, MyMuse and Kinkpin. All of them create fabulous online content — no idea how good or bad the products are though, you’ll have to ask around. I think the target audience are in their 20s mostly.
So that’s it. Great content is becoming easier to create; smart, evolved communities are mushrooming, and niche is blooming. And it’s going to get better next year. What more do you want?
Have a great 2024!

1. Poboljšana mišićna snaga
Držanje položaja stvara napetost bez pokreta. Ta napetost tjera naše mišiće da se angažiraju i naporno rade iako ne dižemo utege niti radimo vježbe visokog intenziteta. Ovakav način vježbanja jamči povećanje mišićne snage.
2. Zategnuti izgled mišića
Kada je riječ o postizanju definiranog, zategnutog izgleda, izometrijske vježbe su tajno oružje. Ove vježbe nam omogućuju rad na određenim mišićnim skupinama. Izometrijske vježbe kontinuirano drže mišiće napetima, a ovaj kontinuirani napor ključan je za postizanje zategnutog izgleda.
3. Povećana izdržljivost mišića
Povećana izdržljivost mišića odnosi se na njihovu sposobnost da vrše silu tijekom duljeg razdoblja. Izometrija zahtijeva da zadržimo položaj određeno vrijeme, što trenira naše mišiće da dulje izdrže stres povećavajući njihovu izdržljivost.
4. Poboljšano zdravlje zglobova
Izometrijske vježbe jačaju mišiće i tetive oko zglobova ne izlažući ih napornim pokretima. Jačanje mišića oko zglobova pomaže u njihovoj stabilizaciji i podupiranju, čime se smanjuje rizik od ozljeda.
5. Poboljšana stabilnost središnjeg dijela tijela
Stabilnost središnjeg dijela tijela ključna je komponenta ukupne kondicije, a izometrijske vježbe nevjerojatno su učinkovite u jačanju donjeg dijela leđa, bokova i trbuha, odnosno središnjeg dijela tijela. Stabilan središnji dio poboljšava našu izvedbu u ostalim sportovima i svakodnevnim aktivnostima te čini pokrete učinkovitijima smanjujući rizik od ozljeda.
6. Vježbe su prikladne svim razinama kondicije
Izometrijske vježbe idealne su za ljude koji trebaju izbjegavati naprezanje zbog bolova u zglobovima, ozljeda ili drugih zdravstvenih problema. Bilo da smo početnici u fitnessu, sredovječni ili stariji, izometrijske vježbe mogu se prilagoditi našoj razini kondicije.

7. Praktičnost
Ne treba nam skupa oprema ni puno prostora, samo tijelo i nekoliko minuta u danu. Zato se za izometrijske vježbe kaže da su praktične i lako se uklapaju u svaki raspored.
8. Smanjenje stresa
Izometrijske vježbe imaju značajan pozitivan učinak na psihičko zdravlje i smanjenje stresa. Bavljenje ovim vježbama može biti alat za upravljanje stresom i poboljšanje raspoloženja.
9. Poboljšana ravnoteža i držanje
Izometrijske vježbe igraju ključnu ulogu u poboljšanju ravnoteže i držanja, aspekata tjelesnog zdravlja koji su vrlo važni, ali se često zanemaruju. Ove vježbe pomažu u ravnomjernom jačanju obje strane tijela, što je bitno za pravilno držanje i ravnotežu.
10. Kontrola težine
Iako izometrijske vježbe možda neće sagorijevati kalorije tako brzo kao visokointenzivni treninzi, njihova je uloga u izgradnji mišićne mase i poboljšanju ukupne tjelesne kondicije ključna za održavanje zdrave težine.
Izometrijske vježbe nude niz prednosti, od poboljšanja mišićne snage i izdržljivosti do poboljšanja mentalnog blagostanja i upravljanja težinom. Svestrane su, sigurne i praktične, što ih čini prikladnima za ljude svih dobi i razina tjelesne spremnosti.

BLAGDANSKO vrijeme je vrijeme kada mnogi od nas uživaju u ukrašavanju svojih domova, a postavljanje božićne jelke je nezaobilazni dio tog procesa. Međutim, vlasnicima mačaka poznato je kako ova aktivnost može privući njihove krznene prijatelje koji često ne mogu odoljeti iskušenju da se popnu na jelku i istraže sve te blještave ukrase. Da biste sačuvali svoju jelku i božićne ukrase, evo nekoliko savjeta kako spriječiti mačku da se penje na jelku.
Odaberite visoki stalak za jelku
Postavite jelku na visok stalak koji će biti izvan dohvata vaše mačke. Na taj način, teže će joj biti popeti se na jelku.
Zaštitite donji dio jelke
Stalak također možete obložiti aluminijskom folijom ili dvostranom trakom kako biste otežali mački penjanje. Jelku možete zaštititi i postavljanjem neprozirne pregrade oko njenog donjeg dijela. Možete koristiti kartonske kutije, plastičnu ogradu ili bilo koji drugi materijal koji će spriječiti mačku da se popne na jelku.
Upotrijebite mirisne odbijače
Mačke često odbijaju mirise citrusa, naranče ili cimeta. Stavite malo kore naranče ili cimeta oko jelke kako biste odvratili mačku od istraživanja.
Koristite sprej za odbijanje
Na tržištu postoje sprejevi koji su sigurni za kućne ljubimce, a stvoreni su kako bi odbijali mačke od određenih područja. Možete prskati ovaj sprej oko jelke i na grane kako biste spriječili mačku da se popne.

Zabavite svoju mačku drugim igračkama
Osigurajte svojoj mački dovoljno zabave kako biste je zadržali zauzetom i odvojili je od jelke. Igrajte se s njom, pružite joj nove igračke ili postavite visoku “mačju igraonicu” blizu jelke kako biste joj skrenuli pažnju.
Koristite mrežu za jelku
Ako se vaša mačka baš nikako ne može obuzdati, razmislite o postavljanju mreže oko jelke. Ovo će osigurati da mačka ne može dosegnuti ukrase ili grane.
Spriječiti mačku da se penje na jelku može biti izazov, ali primjenom ovih savjeta možete sačuvati svoj božićni dekor i osigurati da vaša mačka ostane sigurna.

Arsenal stayed on top of the English Premier League after holding on to draw Liverpool 1-1 at Anfield on Saturday. Arsenal led through Gabriel’s fourth-minute header but Mohamed Salah evened the score in the 29th. Salah’s 151st Premier League goal moved him to 10th on the all-time list. Liverpool pressed hardest in the second half and hit the woodwork twice. Mikel Arteta’s team will go into Christmas a point ahead of Liverpool. Premier League 2023–24: Liverpool Defender Kostas Tsimikas Injured After Colliding With Jurgen Klopp in Game Against Arsenal.
Defending champion Manchester City is likely happiest with the result after seeing two of its title rivals drop points. City, which fell to fifth while it was away winning the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia this week, is six points behind Arsenal with a game in hand. Another title challenger, Aston Villa, also dropped points with a surprise 1-1 draw against Sheffield United on Friday. Villa was third on goal difference. Liverpool has drawn back-to-back games in the league against Manchester United and Arsenal.
Jurgen Klopp’s team had the better chances to win on Saturday; Trent Alexander-Arnold hit the bar in the second half with only Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya to beat. Substitute Harvey Elliott also hit the post with a deflected shot from outside the box. It was at Anfield that Arsenal’s title challenge began to falter last season, when Arteta’s team squandered an early 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 in April. The London side was ahead first again after a flying start that appeared to catch Liverpool cold.
Gabriel Jesus had already seen an effort deflected over the bar when he opened the scoring. The defender was sharp in the box and lost his marker Ibrahima Konate before heading Martin Odegaard’s free kick into the top corner. Liverpool prevented further damage and evened the score through a brilliant goal from Salah.
Alexander-Arnold launched a long-range pass from his own half that landed perfectly for the run of the Egypt international on the right. Salah then turned Oleksandr Zinchenko in the box before lashing a shot in the top corner of Raya’s near post.

Liverpool thought it should have had a penalty before that when Odegaard appeared to handle inside the box, but the Arsenal captain escaped punishment. Liverpool mounted pressure in the second half with substitute Elliott hitting the post and Alexander-Arnold then firing against the bar from close range.

Nifty could hit the 24200 level in 2024, driven by heavyweight stocks from the BFSI, auto, cement and healthcare sectors, ICICIdirect has said in its latest Quant Yearly Outlook report.
The Nifty was up by 119.10 pts or 0.56 per cent at 21,379.10 as of 11:30 am on Friday. The Nifty 50 pack was at 21,373.90, up by 118.85 points or 0.56 per cent. Major stocks that gained on the NSE as of 11:51 am were Divi’s Laboratories, Tata Motors, Coal India, Maruti, and Tata Steel.
“While the Lok Sabha elections in India and the Presidential elections in US may trigger near-term volatility (spike) in the markets, declines are likely to be limited,” ICICIdirect said.
The brokerage firm expects volatility to be sticky around current levels in the coming months, and hence, recommends buying on dips in the first half of 2024. US VIX and India VIX have failed to sustain at higher levels, suggesting the strength of the equity markets.
“Despite trading near highs and gaining almost 7 per cent in the December series, Nifty has delivered ~16% returns so far in the last 12 months, which is relatively on a par with other markets,” it said.
According to the report, FPIs, who have returned to the equity markets since April 2023 as US rates seem to have peaked, bought almost ₹1,61,000 crore till August 2023. Higher FPI flows were seen in the capital goods, auto and power sectors, while IT and metals remained subdued.
On the capital front, FPIs flows could increase further in the upcoming calendar year and US rate cuts should induce capital flows, the report said.
The market has witnessed continued FPI flows for almost five years from 2010 to 2014 as the US Fed has maintained zero interest rates following the 2008 crisis. The free money has helped risk assets outperform the market, the brokerage said.
Sectors to attract FPI inflows
The banking sector stocks have largest headroom to absorb FPI inflows, while the metals sector would likely outperform in CY24. The bank nifty was the major driver of the bull run in the 2012 to 2020 cycle.
“We expect fresh flows to continue in the healthcare space, which should trigger a further outperformance in the months to come,” it added. Infrastructure sector should remain firm. Although financial services has been a relative underperformer, ICICIdirect said recent data suggested a change in the trend as the sector seems to be attracting FPI flows.
“Construction related stocks have seen continued outflows and heavyweights from the sector have relatively underperformed the market. However, due to interest rate cut expectations, fresh flows are likely in CY-24, which should propel an outperformance from the sector,” it said.
The rupee has been resilient against the dollar in recent months. Commenting on the dollar index, ICICIdirect says, “we expect the dollar index to weaken further and capital flows should be seen in emerging markets. Historical evidence suggests that India would be a major beneficiary of these flows.”
As per ICICIdirect, recommended stocks include: Dalmia Bharat Cement, Federal Bank, GAIL, Hindustan Copper, IPCA Lab and Shriram Finance.
My new book, Office Secrets, was launched recently. This book offers a selection of useful workplace learnings and is also a light and fun read. As the book was being developed, my publishers and I were searching for a cover design which would showcase its “unserious” flavour. Most business books tend to be packaged in boring,conventional colours.
We hit on an unusual shade of green for the cover of this book. We selected a light version of fern green, a colour inspired by the ornamental plants. It is a striking colour which conveys a sense of fun and informality, yet has a serious undertone to it. Also, because this colour has rarely been used by a business book in India, the cover stands out on bookshelves.
Ever since the launch of the book, many people have remarked to me that the beautiful cover has made them pick it up. Clearly, fern green has been a very good choice. My wife has even bought me a flowery green shirt from Fab India to match the cover, which I can use during book signing events.
Plantation fresh tea
This successful use of green brought two reflections to my mind. First, why do so few brands globally use green as their primary colour, and why should marketers give this colour a serious thought? Second, it reminded me of a story that goes back to my days as a young manager in Tata Tea back in the 1980s.
In those days, Tata Tea was a relatively small plantation company, aspiring to compete with a global giant like Unilever in the Indian branded tea market. The market leader brand at that time was Unilever’s Red Label tea, which was in a red carton pack, with the red signifying strength. Another major brand, Taj Mahal tea, was in a blue pack, with blue perhaps being a marker of premiumness.
At Tata Tea, we broke away completely from these category codes by launching our lead brand in a green polypack with a simple objective – to highlight the freshness of the tea. I recall that the colour chosen was inspired by the fresh green tea leaf, and was therefore authentic to the product. This colour worked brilliantly for Tata Tea, which went on to become a market leader. In fact, it inspired many more Indian tea brands to use the green colour. More than three decades later, Tata Tea continues to proudly sport the colour green.
Why go green ?
Both these stories illustrate why marketers should not stay with time-tested conventional colours but should be bold and imaginative in moving into untested territory. The use of green is a good starting point to consider for all the following reasons.
Nature is green. Therefore, if your brand would like to highlight its “natural” credentials, there can be no better colour than green. Tropicana, the world’s best known brand of natural fruit juices, does this very well. Because trees and leaves have a million different shades of green, marketers have a profusion of choice. Many shades of green such as atrovirens (a trendy deep green) and celadon (a minty green colour) have never been used by major brands. Brands can therefore appropriate these colours quite nicely.
Green is fresh. The first colour that comes up in our minds when we think of freshness is green. That’s why my favourite fast food brand, Subway, uses green so liberally at all its brand touchpoints, including its logo. This subliminally reinforces the fact that Subway uses freshly baked bread and fresh vegetables and meat, in contrast to many other fast food brands that used processed and refrigerated ingredients.
Green is the colour of sustainability. In a world where many consumers are making their choices based on their brands’ commitment to the planet and environment, green can help highlight your brand’s sustainability credentials. And, finally, green is so striking. Particularly because so few major brands globally use green, your brand can stand out through the use of this colour. A good example of this is the iconic Land Rover brand, which is quite unique in using a beautiful shade of green, in an otherwise largely non-green sea of automobiles.
So, think green. It may make all the difference.

DOK UŽIVAMO u hrani, rijetko razmišljamo o tome kako ona može utjecati na naš san. No psihologinja Katherine Hall nedavno je otkrila da popularna blagdanska hrana često uzrokuje nemiran san. Preporučila je redovito izbjegavanje pretjerano slane, kisele ili začinjene hrane, osobito navečer.
Slana hrana
Hall objašnjava da bi slana hrana mogla biti uzrok naših problema sa spavanjem jer obroci s visokim sadržajem natrija dovode do zadržavanja tekućine i povećanja krvnog tlaka, što otežava tijelu da se isključi nakon jela.
“Dimljena šunka puna je soli, stoga je izbjegavajte jesti navečer ako želite dobro spavati”, rekla je Hall za Daily Mail.

Kisela hrana
Stručnjakinja također tvrdi da tiramin, aminokiselina koja stimulira prirodnu aktivnost mozga, noću treba izbjegavati po svaku cijenu. Namirnice bogate kiselinom uključuju rajčice, patlidžane, soja umak, crno vino i različite vrste sira. Sve su to popularna blagdanska jela. Uživanje u previše vina i sira može podići razinu tjeskobe prije spavanja.
Začinjena hrana
“Srećom, božićna hrana obično nije jako začinjena”, rekla je dr. Hall. Otkrila je da kapsaicin, kemikalija u začinjenoj hrani, uzrokuje žgaravicu, probavne smetnje i nagli porast tjelesne temperature, što može otežati uspavljivanje.
Uživanje u blagdanskoj hrani često može imati neželjene posljedice na naš san izazivajući nesanicu i nemiran san. Prilagodba prehrambenih izbora i umjereno konzumiranje blagdanske hrane mogu pomoći u prevenciji potencijalnih poremećaja sna.

UNILEVER je objavio da je potpisao ugovor o preuzimanju vrhunske biotehnološke marke proizvoda za njegu kose K18. Brend su 2020. osnovali Suveen Sahib i Britta Cox, a posebnu popularnost vrlo brzo stekao je njihov prvi proizvod – maska za kosu Molecular Repair – kako na platformama poput TikToka, tako i među profesionalcima.
Od tada je marka proširila svoju liniju na šest proizvoda koji su svi fokusirani na prepoznavanje i rješavanje uzroka oštećenja kose. Marka je poznata po korištenju društvenih medija za edukaciju i angažiranje potrošača o znanosti o kosi.
Uvjeti dogovora nisu objavljeni
Prema marki njezina molekula – K18Peptide – oponaša strukturu ljudskog keratina kako bi poništila kemijska oštećenja na svim tipovima kose u nekoliko minuta, pomažući zamijeniti složene rutine tretmana kose trenutnim rezultatima.
Vasiliki Petrou, izvršna direktorica Unilever Prestigea, povodom akvizicije rekla je: “Oduševljeni smo što nastavljamo širiti naš Unilever Prestige portfelj u visoko rastućim premium prostorima s dodatkom K18.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Ova akvizicija nadopunjuje naš brzorastući portfelj vrhunskih, kulturološki relevantnih robnih marki. Ono što su Suveen, Britta i tim stvorili dokaz je važnosti brendova izgrađenih na neusporedivoj znanosti, učinkovitosti proizvoda i ljubavi zajednice.”
Uvjeti dogovora nisu objavljeni, a očekuje se da će se transakcija zatvoriti u prvom kvartalu 2024. Bit će zanimljivo pratiti hoće li ovo preuzimanje utjecati (i kako) na proizvode marke K18.
K18 je nedavno predstavio novi proizvod
Vijest o preuzimanju dolazi netom nakon što je K18 predstavio dva nova proizvod za kupce – regenerator i šampon Damage Shield Protective. Za regenerator marka tvrdi da “klinički dokazano pruža zaštitu od oštećenja od UV zraka” do tri uzastopna dana. Također navodno pomaže u zaštiti od štetnih učinaka mehaničkog stiliziranja i štetnih čimbenika iz okoliša.
Što se tiče šampona, prema marki on ima pH-optimiziranu formulu koja pomaže spriječiti prekomjerno oticanje kutikule kose tijekom pranja – što pomaže u održavanju boje, poboljšava zdravlje i sjaj kose i smanjuje kovrčanje. Ovi proizvodi (*na fotki desno) bi trebali biti globalno dostupni od siječnja.

Apple has reportedly developed an internal service akin to ChatGPT, intended to assist employees in testing new features, summarizing text, and answering questions based on accumulated knowledge.
In July, Mark Gurman suggested that Apple was in the process of creating its own AI model, with the central focus on a new framework named Ajax. The framework has the potential to offer various capabilities, with a ChatGPT-like application, unofficially dubbed “Apple GPT,” being just one of the many possibilities. Recent indications from an Apple research paper suggest that Large Language Models (LLMs) may run on Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads.
This research paper, initially discovered by VentureBeat, is titled “LLM in a flash: Efficient Large Language Model Inference with Limited Memory.” It addresses a critical issue related to on-device deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly on devices with constrained DRAM capacity.
LLMs are characterized by billions of parameters, and running them on devices with limited DRAM presents a significant challenge. Reportedly, the proposed solution in the paper involves on-device execution of LLMs by storing the model parameters in flash memory and retrieving them as needed into DRAM.
Keivan Alizadeh, a Machine Learning Engineer at Apple and the primary author of the paper, explained, “Our approach entails developing an inference cost model that aligns with the characteristics of flash memory, directing us to enhance optimization in two crucial aspects: minimizing the amount of data transferred from flash and reading data in larger, more cohesive segments.”
The team employed two main strategies: “Windowing” and “row-column bundling.” Windowing involves the reuse of previously activated neurons to minimize data transfer, while row-column bundling entails enlarging the size of data chunks read from flash memory. Implementing these techniques resulted in a notable 4-5 times enhancement in the Apple M1 Max System-on-Chip (SoC).
Theoretically, this adaptive loading based on context could enable the execution of Large Language Models (LLMs) on devices with constrained memory, like iPhones and iPads.

Euphoria, a band that has created many classics and keeps the crowd grooving, is set to make a big comeback to celebrate 25 years of its journey. Palash Sen, the founder and the lead vocalist of the band, has always been an icon for every ’90s kid, especially from Delhi. The band’s hits like ‘Maeri’, ‘Dhoom Pichuk’, ‘Aana Meri Gully’ have instant recall, even for today’s youth. Euphoria, initially rooted in English rock, gradually found its calling in fusion rock. With the release of their debut album, ‘Dhoom’, in 1998, Euphoria was the first indigenous band that became a household name. They are on a tour to celebrate the whirlwind journey of an independent band and is ready to set the stage on fire with their performance on December 24 in Imperfecto Patio, Gurugram.
Excerpts from a conversation with Palash Sen:
Euphoria has completed 25 years in the music industry. How do you make sure that your music connects with the youth today? We are right now celebrating our 25th year as the band started off in 1998. I just do my job with honesty. People do go after trends. However, music listeners will always listen to a song or music that sounds honest to them and which is close to their heart and that is why every generation accepts our music.
Pradeep Sarkar
Your debut album, ‘Dhoom’, has been a hit and it still is today. When I made the album, I thought nobody was going to listen to it. I told the band members to just take out the album. But I also had a feeling that we were creating history as the music sounded like nobody else’s. The whole vibe of an indigenous band, coming and performing a song was a brand new idea for TV. You know, till then, bands were always associated with British or American bands or folk bands. But when we did it, suddenly they had their own band that they could own. I believe that the connection is still there. Those who have listened to it then, have passed on the fact they had loved it to others.
You have worked with various music labels like Archies Music and T-Series. But now, Euphoria has been releasing music independently. What were the challenges of going indie? It has been a struggle from day one with music labels. It’s always been a struggle because things never happened the way we wanted them to. I had to sign deals which were one-sided and I never got royalties for most of the stuff. Even a song like ‘Bhim Pooja Ka Mahari’ or ‘Ana Meri Kaliye’ never paid me anything. Even today, most of the music that I’ve made, I don’t own the rights. We are re-recording our first album for all our fans. It puts back the rights into the band’s hands. We are one of the very few bands or artists who are doing everything ourselves.
How do you keep the audience grooving? What are your tactics and how do you choose your song list for an event? We keep changing the list according to the crowd. It’s the audience that makes the song list. It is a very symbiotic relationship between me and the crowd. The more energetic they are, the more so I am. It comes naturally to me. I’m a very spontaneous guy.
You and Shah Rukh Khan go back to school days. Tell us about your memories with him. Shah Rukh and I were good friends in school and we used to do musicals together. He could not sing so whenever his part would come I would go to the wings and sing on the microphone and he would lip-sync. I was sure that he was going to be a movie star and he was very clear in his head about that as well. I am really proud of him.
Your latest song, ‘Jaane Khuda’, is dedicated to KK. What has been your fondest memory of him? It is a short film of eight and a half minutes and I dedicated the film to two of my closest friends, KK and Pradeep Sarkar. They both were the greatest creators this country had ever seen and I was blessed to learn from both of them. This song was my tribute to them both. My fondest memory of KK was a competition that both of us took part in way back in the ’80s. I was in University College of Medical Sciences in Delhi and he was at the Kerala College in Delhi and we were both competing in the Western Jiu-Jitsu section of IIT Rojo, which is a festival that happens in Delhi. I used to come first in most of the competitions, but that was one competition in which he beat me. I was happy to have lost to him because he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I’ll always have that affection and respect for KK.
Pradeep Sarkar, in fact, had directed many music videos for Euphoria, be it ‘Maeri’ or ‘Mehfooz’. How was the understanding between the two of you? Me being a songwriter, I always used to have a basic story in front of me. Usually, when I write a song, I visualise it, but I always used to discuss it with him. His vision was very much in tandem with mine. I’ve learnt a lot from him and all that he taught me, I applied in my vision and songs.

Pepsi’s recent announcement of its new logo has put the spotlight on brand logos, those ubiquitous symbols that often convey much more about a brand than any textual description could.The redesign of Pepsi’s logo makes us wonder whether the design of the logo matters all that much. Put simply, if Nike had sported a squiggle instead of the iconic swoosh, would that still make us just do it and buy our Nikes?
Of course, it is easy to argue that the design matters. But, toss in a bit of psychology to the discussion and it becomes clear that the brand is much more than its logo. After all, the Nike swoosh is now wired into our brains not so much as a shape but in terms of the meanings and memories that the shape evokes. And that could explain why successful brands can have logos as intricate as that of WaghBakri or as simple as that of SBI.
To word or not to word
Prior to its redesign, the Pepsi brand name was placed outside the circular logo. Segregating the brand name and the logo is not in itself a big problem. Brands such as RedBull and Puma follow this pattern.For Pepsi, however, this design was not working well as the brand found out, when consumers were asked to draw the Pepsi logo from memory, and tended to recall the brand name as being placed inside the logo. And so, the Pepsi brand name sits smack in the centre of the new logo. In direct contrast to Starbucks, which took away the words surrounding the siren in the centre.
Of course, there are brands such as Nike and Apple for which just an image of the logo is sufficient to make consumers think of the brand. But Pepsi cannot do that. At the other extreme, there are brands whose logo is simply the brand name written in a stylized font. Coca-cola and IBM, for instance, use stylised writing and colour without a shape. Perhaps, having little material to play with has a role in keeping the Coca-Cola logo stable over the years.
A game of colour
It might be hard to believe today, but Apple once had a very colourful logo – the same shape of the apple with a bite taken off, but with rainbow colors. Today such a logo would be surmised as related to supporting LGBTQ+ rights. After all, several brands change their logo to rainbow colours during LGBT pride month, so much so that this gesture could lose its value. But the white logo of Apple is so omnipresent that the absence of colour glorifies the brand.
Does that mean all brands that seek to be perceived as premium need to go white? Not necessarily. Other colours can become iconic just as well, be it Coca-Cola red, Starbucks green, or Tiffany blue. And while the jury is out on which colours can really set a brand apart, Apple has once again upped the game with a highly colourful art-based logo on its Apple BKC store in Mumbai. Well, if Apple has decided to colour itself for India, maybe it’s time to rethink the plain = premium theory!
Controversy, copyright and more
Refreshing a logo is always dicey business. Even when a business school goes about redesigning its logo, as in the recent case of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad logo makeover, various stakeholders held differing views on the new logo. A few years ago, apparel brand Gap decided to revert to the old logo after tremendous uproar from customers. Not surprisingly, customers have a natural tendency to feel possessive of logos, as many logos are worn on the body and many others are placed on containers for food and drink.
Other issues surround logos due to their shape. Adidas’s three stripes seemed distinctive enough though it was unsuccessful in its trademark infringement appeal cases when it spotted other similar designs. Twitter changed its logo, somewhat inexplicably, to a dog, but has reversed the change (possibly to avoid having to rename itself Bark). Toblerone is up for a redesign of its logo because the iconic Matterhorn mountain can no longer be shown after Toblerone shifted part of its production away from Switzerland. Only time will tell whether the new logo can win the hearts of chocolate lovers.
Overall, redesigning a logo entails some risks, mainly because very few general rules exist, and consumer sentiment can throw up surprises. There are perhaps only two “truths” when it comes to successful brand logos, and neither has to do with the design of the logo per se. First, what the marketing department builds on top of the logo through follow-on marketing campaigns will, over time, build the equity associated with the brand logo. Be it Pepsi or Air India’s new look that is expected to be unveiled soon. Second, a logo of a well-known and loved brand is like the face of a loved one – familiarity and love overpowers looks.
And so, surprisingly enough, a squiggle on your Nike shoes – if marketed appropriately from day one – would have worked just as well as a swoosh!

KAŽE se da je važno vježbati pametno, a ne puno. Ako ste se odlučili za takav način razmišljanja, možda se pitate koliko dugo treba držati plank i gubite li vrijeme kada ste na podu minutu, dvije ili tri. Kada je riječ o ovoj vježbi, zaista vrijedi pravilo da je manje više.
“Sve duže od dvije minute kod planka je besmisleno ili štetno”, kaže Dan John, autor knjige Can You Go?

Plank je izvrsna vježba za razvoj jezgre i sposobnosti držanja kralježnice, prsnog koša i zdjelice u ravnini. Trener Kevin Carr savjetuje da težite držanju planka najviše 60 sekundi.
“Nakon nekog vremena nećete moći zadržati idealan položaj. To može pridonijeti bolovima u donjem dijelu leđa”, objasnio je.
Početnicima se savjetuje krenuti s plankom od 10 do 20 sekundi, a onda se trajanje može postupno povećavati na 30, 40, 50 i, na kraju, na 60 sekundi. Više od toga nije potrebno, piše Men’s Health.

Bangladesh needed only 15 overs with the bat to complete a nine wicket win over New Zealand in the third one-day international Saturday, ending New Zealand’s winning streak in ODIs at home at 17 matches. After rolling New Zealand for 98 in 31.4 overs, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto made an unbeaten 51 from 42 balls and Amanul Haque 37 from 33 to lead Bangladesh to its first ODI win over the Kiwis in New Zealand in 19 attempts. Australia’s Usman Khawaja To Contest ICC Charge Over Wearing Black Armband in AUS vs PAK 1st Test 2023.
New Zealand won the three-match series 2-1 after winning the first match by 44 runs and the second by seven wickets. But Bangladesh gained a measure of revenge Saturday and primed itself for the upcoming Twenty20 series, bowling New Zealand out for its lowest ever total in ODIs between the teams.
Earlier, Tanzim Hasan Sakib took 3-14 and Shoriful Islam 3-22 — both career bests — as Bangladesh rolled New Zealand cheaply to set up a dominant victory. Soumya Sarkar chipped in with 3-18 as New Zealand fell below its previous lowest ODI score against Bangladesh of 162.
“The ball was nipping, the ball was swinging and I knew how we started would set the tone for my team,” Sakib said. “I tried to bowl wicket to wicket and hold my line and length.
“The wicket really helped me. This wicket is good for pace bowlers and the wicket really helped me.”
Bangladesh captain Shanto was delighted to be able to choose to field when he won the toss. The McLean Park pitch usually is one of the best to bat on in New Zealand with an average first innings score in ODIs of 239. But the pitch was unusually well-grassed and Shoriful and Sakib took full advantage, crashing through the New Zealand top order to leave it reeling at 6-70.
Both bowlers tied the New Zealand batters down by bowling into the stumps and swinging the ball both ways. They hit excellent lengths and the ball occasionally spat off a length which made the batters reluctant to play forcefully off the front foot. The largest partnership in the innings was the 36 between Will Young (26) and Tom Latham (21) for the third wicket. Only two other New Zealand batters reached double figures.
Shoriful reproduced the form that saw him take two wickets in the opening over of the first ODI, dismissing Young, Latham and Mark Chapman (2). Both Latham and Chapman were bowled by deliveries which jagged back late between bat and pad. ECB Approves England’s Physically Disabled Cricket Team To Visit India for First-Ever Tour.
Sakib maintained an exacting line, giving the batters no width and completing two maidens among his seven overs. He dismissed Rachin Ravindra (8) in the fourth over to begin the New Zealand collapse, then removed Henry Nicholls (1) and Tom Blundell (4). When the two seamers had left the host’s innings in tatters, Sarkar came on and took the wickets of Josh Clarkson (16), Adam Milne (4) and Adithya Ashok (10). The last wicket fell to Mushfiqur Rahim who took 1-36.

Maasai Mara, a wildlife conservation and wilderness reserve spread over a wide area (1,510 square kilometres) in south-western Kenya, is the stomping ground for lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, gazelle and herds of elephants. “It is a dream come true for anyone looking for an adventure-filled trip into the wild. It has pristine riverine forests, dramatic towering escarpments, stunning savannahs, parched scrubs, big cats and, of course, the Maasai warriors,” says actor and TV host Samir Kochhar, who has just launched a travel show, ‘Travel Unusual’; Maasai Mara is the first episode.
The five-part series, with each of its episodes being 13 minutes long, is currently streaming on the actor’s YouTube channel. “It’s easy consumption. Today, things have to be quick and fast. People don’t have time; therefore, the videos are of short duration,” the actor says.
‘Travel Unusual’ is a tribute to Kochhar’s love for travel. His idea is to create offbeat travel videos and make nature a primary character in this journey. Nowadays, people have become “footprint travelers”, he says, while admitting he has been one of them. “With social media, visiting places has come down to posting photographs and ticking destinations off the bucket list. I want to change this. Travelling should be more about soaking in the current moment,” he says.
Kochhar, a big fan of American travel and food documentarian Anthony Bourdain, says: “India doesn’t have a presence in international travel and unknown destinations. The objective is also to carve a niche for an Indian voice in the world of travelogue.”
Travel has different emotions and moods. A getaway with the partner or family differs significantly from a trip with friends. However, the aspect Kochhar explores in Maasai Mara is travel for oneself. “The city structure we live in today, the work we do and what surrounds us – everything consumes us. It is necessary for the brain and the body to detox,” he says. “Before COVID-19 struck, I visited Maasai Mara with my wife and friends. Its beauty blew my mind. I made a pact with myself that I have to come back to soak in the beauty of this place,” recalls Kochhar.
After catching a six-and-a-half-hour flight from Mumbai to Nairobi and a car drive of over five hours, he arrived at the beautiful grasslands, where he was warmly welcomed by locals. “Gently diffident and impeccably polite, the Maasai Mara warriors sport vibrantly coloured layers as they perform their traditional dance,” he adds. Instead of putting up in a fancy hotel, Kochhar opted for a campsite nestled in the middle of the reserve to stay closer to nature. In the five-part series, the actor summarises the essence of the national reserve, unveiling tribal tales, capturing the quick-changing natural beauty, and spotting wildlife wonders, including the big five —the African elephant, lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, and rhinoceros; and, of course, the beauty of the surrounding environment.
As Kochhar puts it, “Maasai Mara is a beautiful example of how man and wild nature can co-exist.” The Maasai people, once known as hunters, are now called the protectors of the wild. They live on the outskirts of the reserve where wild animals come and go. “The Maasai have to daily protect their cattle and themselves. And, they have their own ways of dealing with this madness, which to them is an everyday affair,” he adds.
Kochhar says this series is a trailer of the travel show he plans to take across India and the world. Japan’s Hokkaido, South America’s Patagonia and the Antarctic region are other destinations on the actor’s list.
In our view, PCBL’s stock price is not factoring in the value of its recently acquired Aquapharm business. Besides, PCBL’s recent JV with Kinaltek takes it further away from its traditional carbon black business.
Aquapharm’s biodegradable chelating agents (such as GLDA, HEIDA, and PESA) are rapidly replacing traditional agents (such as EDTA, DTPA). Aquapharm has been ramping up its GLDA sales in Asia where it has a strong presence. Further, basis our understanding, it has started the approval process for PESA in the European market. As per various industry estimates, the GLDA market is expected to register about 10 per cent CAGR over the next five-seven years. With strong market traction for its biodegradable agents, we believe that Aquapharm is well placed to take advantage of such favourable demand dynamics. We believe that with strong scale advantage in phosphonates (in which HEDP is the largest product) Aquapharm could register well above the 6-7 per cent industry revenue CAGR. Besides strong scale advantage in the phosphonates portfolio, Aquapharm is scaling up its biocide (methylene bis thiocyanate) and polymers (phosphino carboxylic acid, polymaleic acid) product portfolio.
Also Read: PCBL to penetrate new geographies, expand global footprint and launch a slew of products
Going forward, we expect this momentum to continue and Aquapharm could register 13 per cent/15 per cent revenue/EBITDA CAGR over FY24E-26E.
On the funding part, we have clarity that PCBL would fund the Aquapharm acquisition with debt at this juncture. We build in 10 per cent interest cost for ₹3,500 crore debt (assuming PCBL doesn’t pay out dividend and uses ₹300 crore cash for this acquisition)
We ascribe 25x December 2025 target P/E multiple and arrive at ₹30/share equity value of Aquapharm. Hence, our December 2024 TP of PCBL is revised to ₹320/share (from ₹290/share earlier).
The most awaited event this year is the cricket world cup (CWC) that kicks off in October. On Thursday, 77 days before the first match, the International Cricket Council released its first ad campaign for CWC 2023. The two minute long ad film, ‘It Takes One Day’ featuring Shah Rukh Khan and displaying the journey of raw emotions of players and fans, broke the internet. Produced in partnership with ICC’s global broadcast partner Disney Star, the film connects the nine emotions — anguish, bravery, glory, joy, passion, power, pride, respect and wonder, and how it takes one day to experience this rollercoaster.
The star studded film with Shahrukh’s powerful narration also features Shubman Gill, JP Duminy, Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan, Muttiah Muralitharan, Jonty Rhodes and Jemimah Rodrigues.
The power of three in one
Mutal fund ads have become ubiquitous these days. Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutal Fund’s latest investor awareness campaign, however, catches the eye as it features cute kids and an interesting analogy to push the benefits of its multi asset allocation fund. The campaign, using three children who unite to get what they want, brings out the essence of the fund which offers exposure to three asset classes. Made by Dentsu Creative, it lives up to the brief of simplifying the message through a jingle, and children as characters.
Fuelling progress
Lubricant player Castrol’s new marketing campaign, #BadhteRahoAage developed in partnership with Ogilvy gets into the lives of truckers who navigate highways to deliver essential products. The first leg of the campaign is an engaging TVC featuring two contrasting characters: Sukhi, a young and progressive trucker who consistently chooses Castrol CRB TURBOMAX, and Dukhi, who regularly experiences engine failures and repairs due to inappropriate engine oil choices. Through a quirky narrative, the TVC emphasises how choosing the right engine oil can help truckers forge ahead.
MNOGI od nas većinu dana provedu u sjedećem položaju, bilo da radite u uredu, od kuće, putujete na posao ili se samo opuštate na kauču gledajući televiziju ili društvene mreže.
Kako prenosi portal Shape, Amerikanci u današnje vrijeme sjede više nego u bilo kojem drugom trenutku u povijesti, što može imati ozbiljne zdravstvene posljedice. No, zdravstvene posljedice dugog sjedenja iste su kod svih ljudi koji u danu prosječno sjede osam do deset sati.
“Dugotrajno sjedenje može dovesti do mnoštva štetnih posljedica, uključujući debljanje, osteoporozu, anksioznost, depresiju, dijabetes, kardiovaskularne bolesti, pa čak i duboku vensku trombozu”, objašnjava doktor medicine Alex Mafdali.
Smanjena snaga i fleksibilnost
Kad većinu dana provedete u sjedećem položaju, mišići i zglobovi ostaju nepomični, što znači da mogu izgubiti snagu i fleksibilnost zbog neaktivnosti.
Neka su istraživanja pokazala da produljeno razdoblje sjedenja na stolcu može dovesti do pasivne ukočenosti mišića leđa. “Trenutni temeljni okvir sugerira da, dok sjedimo, imamo nisku razinu mišićne aktivnosti, a statična priroda sjedećeg položaja ograničava metabolizam mišića, što utječe na protok krvi, oksigenaciju mišićnog tkiva i regulaciju upala”, objašnjava dr. Mafdali i dodaje da smanjenje mišićnog metabolizma izaziva neravnotežu unutar mišićnih stanica, što uzrokuje povećanu ukočenost mišića.
Loše držanje
Dugotrajno sjedenje može opteretiti mišiće i zglobove te oslabiti mišiće leđa, što dovodi do lošeg držanja. Dok sjedite tijekom dana, vrat, glava i ramena mogu se početi prirodno spuštati. S vremenom to opterećuje kralježnicu.
“Loše držanje može imati štetne posljedice na cjelokupno zdravlje. Glavni krivac su bolovi u leđima i vratu, koji mogu dovesti do strukturnih promjena ili deformacija kostiju, kao što su hipokifoza, disfunkcija kralježnice ili artritis”, ističe dr. Mafdali.

Uz to, istraživanja su pokazala da loše držanje može uzrokovati probleme sa spavanjem, lošu cirkulaciju, glavobolju, zatvor, pa čak i usporenu probavu zbog povećanog pritiska na trbuh, piše Shape.
Povećanje rizika od kroničnih bolesti
Kad se tijelo dulje vrijeme nalazi u sjedećem položaju, mišići ne reguliraju razinu šećera u krvi ili kolesterol. To može dovesti do kronične upale koja uzrokuje zdravstvene probleme i kronične bolesti, dovodeći do pretilosti, dijabetesa, kardiovaskularnih bolesti i određenih vrsta raka.
Prema istraživanju objavljenom 2019. godine, postoji odnos između toga koliko sjedimo i rizika od razvoja kardiovaskularnih bolesti, raka, pa čak i smrti, prenosi Shape. Što više vremena sjedimo, rizik se povećava.
Također, predugo sjedenje može povećati rizik od debljanja. Istraživanja pokazuju da osobe s pretilošću svaki dan sjede, u prosjeku, dva sata duže nego osobe s normalnom težinom. Osim rizika od debljanja, sjedilački način života povezan je s povećanjem rizika od dijabetesa tipa 2 za 112 posto, piše Shape.
Sjedenje može uzrokovati metaboličke promjene
Osim što utječe na kosti i mišiće, sjedenje može utjecati i na metabolizam. “Poznato je da dugotrajno sjedenje i nedostatak tjelovježbe ometaju metabolizam glukoze i skladištenje energije”, ističe dijetetičarka Vanessa Rissetto.
Metabolizam je ključan za održavanje normalnog funkcioniranja tijela. Svaki dan nam je potreban minimalan broj kalorija, ali kada te kalorije sagorijevamo manje učinkovito, dolazi do pohranjivanja masti na različitim mjestima. To može dovesti do osjetljivosti na inzulin, što znači da će tijelu biti potrebno više inzulina da se glukoza unese u stanice. Što više inzulina “pluta” krvotokom, veća je vjerojatnost da će rasti i težina.

Utjecaj na mentalno zdravlje
Istraživanje iz 2013. godine otkrilo je da način života koji uključuje sjedenje više od osam sati dnevno može povećati rizik od razvoja depresije. Drugo istraživanje otkrilo je da ista količina sjedenja može uzrokovati anksioznost, piše Shape.
“Kad ste fizički aktivni, mozak oslobađa serotonin koji utječe na raspoloženje. Manje kretanja znači manje serotonina, što može pridonijeti depresiji. A kada više vremena provodite u zatvorenom prostoru, vaša izloženost sunčevoj svjetlosti je ograničena. Smatra se da upravo sunčeva svjetlost povećava opuštanje serotonina u mozgu”, objašnjava Rissetto.
Koje promjene uvesti da sjedenje ne bude toliko loše za zdravlje?
Stručnjaci preporučuju tri vrlo jednostavne, ali korisne stvari koje bi trebali isprobati ljudi koji dugo sjede na dnevnoj bazi.
Kao prvu promjenu ističu kretanje. Ako nemate vremena za treninge od trideset minuta nekoliko puta tjedno, isprobajte nekoliko puta dnevno uzeti desetak minuta za istezanje ili kratku šetnju. Možete i kupiti podloge za hodanje pa se kretati i raditi u isto vrijeme, prenosi Shape.
Stručnjaci dodaju da bi svi koji rade trebali pripaziti na držanje dok rade. “Izbjegavajte pogrbljenost i sjedite leđima naslonjeni na naslon. Razmislite o korištenju lumbalne potpore za stolicu, oslonca za noge ili čak stola za stajanje”, ističe dr. Mafdali.
Dijetetičarka Rissetto savjetuje da na početku svakog radnog sata uzmete pet do deset minuta pauze, izađete van, udahnete svježi zrak i budete malo na suncu, prenosi portal Shape.

PAS JE ČOVJEKOV najbolji prijatelj, ali ponekad čini stvari koje nam izazivaju znatiželju. Jedna od tih zagonetnih navika je i jedenje trave. Zašto psi, iako su mesojedi, povremeno posegnu za travom? Ranije smo vam to pojasnili za mačke, a sad stiže odgovor i za pse.
Pomoć pri probavi
Jedan od najčešćih razloga zbog kojih psi jedu travu je olakšavanje probavnih problema. Trava može djelovati kao blagi laksativ, potičući psa da povrati ako ima problema sa želucom ili željačnom cijevi. Uzimanje trave može pomoći u uklanjanju neprobavljenih ostataka iz tijela psa, što može pružiti olakšanje.
Instinktivno ponašanje
Psi su potomci vukova, koji su bili lovac-sakupljači. Stoga, jedenje trave može biti ostatak njihovih instinktivnih navika. U divljini, vukovi i drugi mesojedi često bi pojeli biljke kako bi dobili vlakna i druge hranjive tvari.

Osjećaj nelagode
Neki psi jedu travu kad osjećaju nelagodu ili dosadu. To može biti način na koji pokušavaju ublažiti nelagodu ili dosadu koju osjećaju. Ova teorija sugerira da jedenje trave može biti vrsta self-terapije za pse.
Zdravstveni problemi
Iako povremeno jedenje trave obično nije razlog za brigu, konzistentna i nekontrolirana navika jedenja trave može ukazivati na ozbiljnije zdravstvene probleme. Ako primijetite da vaš pas često jede velike količine trave ili ima druge simptome poput povraćanja ili proljeva, svakako se obratite veterinaru.
U zaključku, jedenje trave kod pasa može biti prirodna navika koja im pomaže u probavi ili se temelji na njihovim instinktima. Međutim, ako primijetite da vaš pas često jede travu ili ima neobično ponašanje, uvijek je najbolje konzultirati se s veterinarom kako biste isključili moguće zdravstvene probleme.

SLUŽBENO je stigla zima, ali je i lansiran novi Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench maslac za tijelo. Je li to slučajnost? Ne čini se tako, pogotovo jer je ova krema, inspirirana Brazilom, stvorena kako bi vašu kožu obogatila hidratacijom – neophodnom njegom tijela za hladne dane koji dolaze.
Delicia Drench maslac za tijelo predstavlja najnoviji dodatak Sol de Janeiro liniji proizvoda, poznatoj po kultnoj Bum Bum kremi. Ovaj maslac karakterizira “tučena” tekstura, a tvrdi da pomaže kožnoj barijeri zadržati vlagu i ublažiti ekstra suhu kožu. Glavni sastojci, poput Bacuri maslaca i hijaluronske kiseline, namijenjeni su oživljavanju kožne barijere i pružanju hidratacije. Sudeći prema dosadašnjim proizvodima brenda, očekuje se da će Delicia Drench postati još jedan omiljeni proizvod među ljubiteljima Sol de Janeiro.
Lansirat će i parfem Cheirosa 59
Osim što umiruje kožu, Delicia Drench želi obogatiti vaše osjetilno iskustvo neodoljivim mirisom Cheirosa 59, opisanim kao “drveno gurmanski”.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Mirisne note uključuju baršunastu šljivu, zašećerenu ljubičicu, orhideju vanilije, tučeni amber, čistu sandalovinu i svježi vetiver. Ova paleta mirisa stvorena je kako bi dočarala “emociju opuštanja nakon savršenog dana na plaži, ističući izuzetne cvjetne tonove, dok sočna šljiva pridonosi hrabrom, kremastom dodiru”, kako navodi parfumer Sol de Janeira, Jerome Epinette, putem priopćenja za javnost.
Obožavatelji njihovih proizvoda s nestrpljenjem su iščekivali lansiranje novog maslaca za tijelo, a neki su već kupili svoje primjerke. “Već sam ga nabavila, miriše savršeno”, komentirala je jedna korisnica, ali su se i mnogi drugi složili s njom. “Nanijela sam ovo sinoć po cijelom tijelu i probudila se osjećajući se glatko! Miris je predivan, jedva čekam sprej”, komentirala je druga korisnica.
Delicia Drench maslac za tijelo već je dostupan za kupovinu, dok će miris Cheirosa 59 biti dostupan od siječnja.

Siemens, in its analyst meet, highlighted growth opportunities across segments, plans to demerge its energy division, and plans to increase localization across segments. The company is optimistic about growth prospects in the domestic market across government and private capex. It is also positive about opportunities emerging from new areas such as semiconductors, batteries, and EVs.
Siemens has approved a capex of ₹416 crore for capacity addition for power transformers and vacuum interrupters. It also plans to improve localisation across segments as demand is strong. Localisation levels are still better for the energy, smart infrastructure and mobility segments; however, for digital industries, the company will remain dependent on imports from its parent. Siemens would still have near-term dependence on traded goods for the mobility segment, but has already embarked on localisation of component manufacturing for traction components for the mobility segment at its Nashik factory. These initiatives would gradually drive margin improvement.
We believe that near-term order inflows may be affected by the general election schedule; however, in the long term, order inflow prospects remain strong from transmission, railways, data centre, industrial automation, etc.
A potential demerger and listing of Siemens’s India Energy segment should open avenues for value-unlocking over the next two-three years. We marginally revise our estimates to bake in slightly better margins and expect the company to clock revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGRs of 16 per cent/18 per cent/19 per cent over FY23-26. We continue to value it at 55X P/E on two-year forward earnings and maintain our BUY rating with a TP of ₹4,600.
WhatsApp has launched its standalone app for smartwatches running on Wear OS. You can start new conversations, reply to messages and take calls — all from your wrist, and no longer need a phone to stay connected. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that WhatsApp will be available on even more devices in the future. The app that rolled out last week is compatible with smartwatches running on Google’s Wear OS3.
Shopper trends
Wunderman Intelligence’s new ‘The Future Shopper 2023’ report presents a global view of online shopping behaviour. It finds that 58 per cent of all consumer spending is now online compared to the 57 per cent last year. However, it forecasts that 64 per cent of spending will be online in 10 years’ time, according to consumer predictions. 68 per cent of global shoppers are now more comfortable with technology than last year.
Interestingly, 65 per cent of shoppers say they have discovered new brands and retailers as a consequence of work-from home.
Some interesting insights from the report are that “price might be king, but service is not far behind in importance”. The No 1 thing global consumers would change about online shopping is “faster delivery” with around 48 per cent of consumers wanting quicker delivery. The average amount of time global consumers expect to wait for their online orders to arrive is 2.15 days. Last year it was 2.36 days. What’s more, 23 per cent of consumers now expect delivery in less than 2 hours! Quick commerce players must be feeling quite justified!
Also, the report says one can’t underestimate the role marketplaces could play in the future. 51 per cent of global consumers are open to buying their energy, water and utilities from marketplaces like Amazon, Tmall and Mercado Libre. 42 per cent of global consumers are open to using a dating app provided by marketplaces like Amazon, Alibaba and Mercado Libre.
But the good news for physical retailers is that consumers identified physical stores as the number two channel for both inspiration and search.
ŽELITE li živjeti duže? Novo istraživanje utvrdilo je snažnu vezu između zdravlja srca i sporijeg biološkog starenja. Naime, prema rezultatima studije Sveučilišta Columbia u New Yorku, u kojoj je sudjelovalo 6500 odraslih osoba, otkriveno je da su osobe zdravog srca oko šest godina biološki mlađe od svoje kronološke dobi.

AKO za godišnji odmor želite odsjesti u nešto drugačijem smještaju i fan ste Harryja Pottera, možda će vam se svidjeti ova koliba koju mnogi na internetu nazivaju i Hagrids Hut. Nalazi se u engleskom sjevernom Yorkshireu, i replika je prave Hagridove kolibe – ima čak i Ford Anglia ispred na prilazu.
Tiktokerica Melissa (@melmadog) provela je svoje gledatelje kroz ovu magičnu kolibu. “Ostvario mi se san”, opisala je noćenje u njoj.
“Ovo izgleda tako prekrasno za bijeg od stvarnosti na neko vrijeme”, “Sve u vezi ovoga je savršeno”, “Pažnja pridana detaljima ove kolibe je nevjerojatna”, “Učinila bih sve da mogu živjeti ovdje”, “Želim ići ovdje”, samo su neki od komentara ispod njezinog videa.
Replika Hagridove kolibe izgrađena je 2019.
Ovu repliku 2019. izradili su Karl i Carol, vlasnici farme. Već su imali niz čarobnih smještaja na svom imanju, uključujući Hobbit Hole, temeljenu na Gospodaru prstenova, i kućicu Storybook, koja je inspirirana Kronikama iz Narnije. Službenog imena Ground Keeper’s Cottage najnoviji je dodatak.

Tri prostorije, zdepasti tornjići i tave koje vise sa stropa
Koliba je konfigurirana kao tri isprepletene kružne prostorije, sa zdepastim tornjićima koji podsjećaju na one srednjovjekovne i neusklađenim prozorima od obojenog stakla kakvi se znaju pronaći u mnogim čarobnjačkim pričama. Na stropu se mogu pronaći lonci i tave te drugi predmeti koji vise s njega.
>> Airbnb nudi vikend u Shrekovoj močvari u Škotskom visočju. Evo detalja
Upečatljiva je i kupaonica sa zelenim pločicama i bakrenom kadom. Ulazna vrata kolibe osvijetljena su svjetiljkama, a ista je okružena poljima i može se pohvaliti pogledom na obalu Yorkshirea.
Koliba može primiti do šest osoba. Minimum su dva noćenja, a cijena za dvije odrasle osobe u siječnju 2024. je 490 funti (oko 564 eura). Više o smještaju, pogledajte ovdje.

In news of concern to Apple Watch users, Apple will no longer repair out-of-warranty models from the Apple Watch Series 6 onwards, the company revealed in a memo written to its customer service team this week, reports Bloomberg. The new changes mean that Apple will no longer be able to fix hardware problems on older iPhones, although the company will still be able to help users with software-related issues.
The Bloomberg report also notes that Apple employees were told earlier this week that they can’t inform customers about the availability of the Apple Watch at third-party retailers such as Best Buy and Target because of the legal order. The Cupertino-based tech giant will not be allowed to import any more watches until the International Trade Commission’s ban is lifted, but these Apple Watches are expected to be available at the online retail outlets until the US supply runs out.
The report also stated that Apple’s newer watches are not be available for purchase on the company’s website in the US. Apple’s official website in the US states that the company “no longer sells Apple Watch units in the United States with the ability to measure blood oxygen”.
Why have Apple Watches been banned in US?
The International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that Apple has infringed on two health technology patents held by medical technology company Masimo Corp that relate to blood oxygen sensing. The ban will take effect from December 25 and will affect newer versions of Apple Watches sold since 2020, including the Apple Watch Series 6, 7, 8, Ultra and Ultra 2. However, the Apple Watch SE, which does not include the blood oxygen feature, and older Apple Watches are exempt from the ITC’s order.
How long will ban on Apple Watch continue?
The Apple Watch ban will continue to be prohibited by the ITC order until the Cupertino-based tech giant reaches a deal with Masimo or gets relief from the federal government. In the meantime, the Bloomberg report also notes that Apple is working on a software update which it believes will fix the issue.

With the current economic instability, senior leadership teams are scrambling to protect margins. The best prepared companies are the ones that never waver on brand building. They reap the benefits of consistency. They have built sustainable pricing power over the years. And as a litmus test for a company’s marketing excellence, this economic landscape is the moment they have diligently prepared for.
For any company, even the unprepared or less inoculated ones, the first reaction to protect margins should be to check how far a brand can increase its prices without losing volume or share to the competition. In times of spiralling inflation, no proverbial money should be left on the table. We’d argue there is another often overlooked hidden turbo to pricing power that CMOs, CFOs, and CEOs should be aware of, visualised in the simple yet powerful concept of the value creation opportunity or value stick by Harvard Business School Professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee in his book Better Simpler Strategy.
Tune up your market price
Effective brand management is an eternal high-wire act: building long-term brand assets and intelligently monetising that asset value short-term. As the Americans say: “walk and chew gum at the same time”.
Untapped equity reserves in the consumer or customer mind should get translated ASAP into real P&L added value by bringing real market prices as close as possible to their willingness to pay (WTP). But now look at the bottom of the value stick. Companies can also grow margins by lowering costs. Not just by rudimentary cutting costs, but by smartly leveraging pricing power to lower the willingness to sell (WTS).
Intuitively, one can see how, for a company with aspirational strong brands (i.e.,brands with sustainable pricing power), there are a number of hidden benefits that can put a turbo on the full margin, including (but not limited to) the below:
Employees: may join and stay longer at lower cost
Debt: banks may offer lower interest cost for lower risk
Equity: investors may pay more for your shares
Suppliers: may accept better payment terms to get you as a client
Customers: may accept you as a reference supplier at lower cost
Regulators: may accept lower risk mitigation cost (lower insurances, etc.)
The ethics of pricing power
The potential WTP is higher for a stakeholder-focused corporation, while its potential WTS can be significantly lower. Close your eyes and picture a cigarette company versus a purpose-driven company like Patagonia. It all goes back to the sustainability of your brand. Pricing power needs to be sustainable. Research has amply demonstrated that the best companies add value to all stakeholders in society, not just to shareholders. A first decent proxy for this today is the ESG ratings. What Professor Oberholzer-Gee’s research confirms is that it pays to be stakeholder-focused.
Mind you, the value stick is a concept. Nobody gets their margins handed to them just like that. It requires a focused organisation to translate potential into actual margin. Creating WTP or WTS is one thing, monetising it requires daily operational excellence.
A last point here is the ethics of pricing power. Just because you can increase prices or lower WTS doesn’t mean that you should. In 2022, Amazon Prime increased its yearly subscription by 17 per cent from $119 to $139, when the average inflation rate was 8 per cent in the US. The hike did cause Amazon Prime to lose some customers, but so far, its pricing power has held. Pundits are weighing in on whether Amazon Prime will raise prices again, and the question is, should they take the risk? Again, it is the stakeholder versus shareholder. But what about consumer empathy in tough times. How much does Amazon, a self-proclaimed (and proven) champion of customer experience, really feel the pain of its shoppers?
Purpose-led pricing power
Brands that stand out look for ways to creatively and ethically use pricing power that not only can positively impact customers and/or employees, but can also benefit shareholders.
Patagonia is a shining example of ethical pricing power. The top-tier outdoor and athletic clothing company has an annual revenue of around $1.5 billion, reflecting consumers’ willingness to pay for clothing that’s priced on the high end (its bestseller rain jacket sells for $179). That is in large part because consumers connect with Patagonia’s purpose. It has given away tens of millions of dollars to non-profit environmental firms via a global programme it launched in 2002 where 1 per cent of its yearly sales is donated. And Patagonia is known for prioritising employee well-being, resulting in a reported annual turnover rate of about 4 per cent, more than three times less than industry average in the US.
As you continue to explore the dynamic between WTP and WTS for your brand, remember to leverage the value stick. Think both long term and short term. And always focus on creating a sustainable brand that considers shareholders and stakeholders, and that’s all about operational excellence every day.

UČINITI 10 tisuća koraka dnevno odličan je način da postanete (ili ostanete) u formi i poboljšate zdravlje smanjujući rizik od kroničnih bolesti. No zbog užurbanog i natrpanog rasporeda to ponekad nije izvedivo pa ljudi radije odaberu odmor nego dulju šetnju.
Skupina stručnjaka otkrila je da postoje i drugi načini kontinuirane brige o svom zdravlju, koji ne uključuju nužno istaknuti broj dnevnih koraka. Izdvojili su čak sedam aktivnosti kao odličnu zamjenu za 10 tisuća koraka dnevno, koje imaju jednak učinak na tijelo.
Plesanje
Ako se volite opustiti uz zvuk svojih omiljenih pjesama, ples može biti izvrsna alternativa hodanju na velike udaljenosti, piše portal Best Life.
“Ples nije samo zabava već i sjajno sagorijeva kalorije. Poboljšava ravnotežu, agilnost i zdravlje kardiovaskularnog sustava”, objašnjava osobni trener Andrew White i dodaje: “Pustite svoju omiljenu glazbu i plešite slobodnim stilom ili pratite korake na nekom videu. Ključ je neprestano se kretati.”
Sportovi koji uključuju igru reketom
“Bavljenje sportovima koji uključuju korištenje reketa još je jedan način da ispunite ekvivalent od 10 tisuća koraka dnevno”, ističe osobna trenerica Caroline Grainger za Best Life. “Igre poput tenisa, badmintona i piklbola izvrsni su načini da postignete cilj. Možete ih igrati na razini intenziteta koja vam odgovara. Sve su to društvene igre koje će vam pomoći da napravite puno koraka, ali i izgradite odnose s drugima”, dodaje Grainger.
Ako bi za hodanje od deset tisuća koraka otprilike trebalo sat i trideset do sat i četrdeset minuta, igranje tenisa, koje zahtijeva stalno kretanje, trebalo bi vam još brže pomoći da ostvarite cilj. Podaci iz studije provedene 2020. godine pokazuju da sat vremena pojedinačnog tenisa može generirati do 10.680 koraka, prenosi Best Life.
Vožnja bicikla
Osim plesanja, Andrew White preporučuje i vožnju biciklom, bilo na sobnom biciklu ili na otvorenom.
“Vožnja bicikla izvrsna je za izgradnju snage nogu, poboljšanje pokretljivosti zglobova i jačanje kardiovaskularne kondicije. Jedan sat vožnje bicikla umjerenim tempom može izjednačiti ili nadmašiti deset tisuća koraka. Kad vozite bicikl, održavajte ujednačen tempo koji će vas prisiliti da dišete nešto teže nego inače, ali da i dalje možete normalno voditi razgovor”, ističe White.
Igranje s djecom ili unucima
Svakodnevne aktivnosti poput igranja s djecom ili unucima također mogu poslužiti kao alternativa za 10 tisuća koraka dnevno ako ste cijelo vrijeme ciljano u pokretu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Loviti ih, podizati, igrati se loptom ili čak penjati s njima po spravama na igralištu odličan je način da ispunite korake, pomognete djeci da ih ispune i usput provedete kvalitetno vrijeme s njima”, ističe Grainger. Ako se odlučite na ovu aktivnost, trebali biste se kretati barem jedan sat kako biste postigli optimalne rezultate.
Intervalni trening visokog intenziteta (HIIT)
Ako nemate dovoljno vremena za postizanje dnevnog cilja, White predlaže isprobavanje intervalnog treninga visokog intenziteta.
“HIIT je učinkovit za brzo sagorijevanje kalorija, poboljšanje izdržljivosti i poticanje metabolizma. Dvadeset minuta HIIT treninga može biti jednako učinkovito kao i dulje razdoblje hodanja”, objašnjava.
White preporučuje kombiniranje kratkih nizova vježbi visokog intenziteta, kao što su burpee, skokovi iz čučnja ili penjači (mountain climbers), s kratkim razdobljima odmora. Primjerice, radite vježbu 30 sekundi, a onda uzmite isto toliko odmora i ponovite vježbu u više setova, prenosi Best Life.
Plivanje
Osobni trener White dodaje da je i plivanje odlična alternativa za hodanje. Istaknuo je da je plivanje “vježba za cijelo tijelo koja poboljšava snagu mišića, fleksibilnost i zdravlje kardiovaskularnog sustava”, piše Best Life. Dodaje da je plivanje odlično za one koji imaju problema sa zglobovima jer pomaže u olakšavanju boli.
Ako odaberete plivati, White preporučuje da plivate barem jedan sat kako biste ispunili cilj od preporučenih 10 tisuća koraka. Koristite bilo koji način plivanja i budite kontinuirani s kratkim pauzama, a pokreti neka budu pravilni i stabilni.
Preskakanje užeta
Još jedna zabavna aktivnost koju možete isprobati je preskakanje užeta. “Poboljšava kardiovaskularno zdravlje, koordinaciju i agilnost. Otprilike deset minuta preskakanja užeta može se izjednačiti sa sagorijevanjem kalorija od oko 30 minuta brzog hodanja”, objašnjava White za Best Life.

New Delhi, Dec 21: Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has received a reprimand from cricket’s governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), over his armband protest during the First Test. Khawaja, an opening batsman, wore a black armband during Australia’s 360-run victory in Perth, defying the ICC’s move to ban his premeditated shoe protest. Pakistan Pacer Khurram Shazad Ruled Out of Australia Test Series Due to Rib Stress Fracture and Abdominal Muscle Tear.
The 36-year-old had originally lashed out at the ICC for censoring him and had vowed to continue promoting messages of support for civilians in Gaza. Khawaja had handwritten slogans such as “Freedom is a human right” and “All lives are equal” on his footwear.
However, the ICC warned him that he would face sanctions if he wore those shoes during the match, citing rules prohibiting the display of personal messages related to politics, religion, or race.
While the messages on his shoes were covered with tape, Khawaja made a statement by wearing a black armband around his left arm during the Test. This move has resulted in a reprimand from the ICC for his first breach of the rule.
“Usman Khawaja has been charged for breaching Clause F of the Clothing and Equipment Regulations, which can be found on the ICC Playing Conditions page. The sanctions for a breach of the regulations are outlined in Appendix 2,” an ICC spokesperson said.
“Usman displayed a personal message (armband) during the 1st Test Match against Pakistan without seeking the prior approval of Cricket Australia and the ICC to display it, as required in the regulations for personal messages. This is a breach under the category of an “other breach” and the sanction for a first offence is a reprimand,” the statement added.
Khawaja’s protest had its roots in a broader context, with him criticizing the ICC’s interference and expressing a commitment to continue delivering messages of humanitarian appeal. The cricketer had previously delivered an impassioned plea on social media, defending his right to speak up for those who lack a voice and emphasizing the equality of all lives.
The ongoing saga has set the stage for potential fireworks during the upcoming Boxing Day Test at the MCG, should Khawaja choose to persist with his black armband protest. The ICC’s regulations on personal messages emphasize considerations of political, religious, or racial causes, and each case is evaluated based on its unique circumstances.‘No One In Australia Is Better..’ Glenn Maxwell Is All Praise For Youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk After His Stunning Innings in Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat BBL 2023-24 Match.
Khawaja, undeterred by the ICC’s stance, has vowed to fight and seek approval for his messages. The controversy not only raises questions about the balance between personal expression and ICC regulations but also highlights the broader issue of using sports as a platform to address social and political concerns.

The company’s ongoing capacity expansion at its subsidiary UCWL (Udaipur Cement Works Ltd) of a 2.5 mtpa grinding unit is progressing well and is expected to commercialise in Q1-FY25. The clinker unit (1.5 mtpa) is already operational and getting stabilised. Clinker produced at UCWL will be used by JKLC for grinding
The company also announced the setting up of a grinding unit in Surat of 1.35 mtpa at a capital cost of ₹220 crore, which is to be funded out of a mix of internal accrual and debt. Out of 1.35 mtpa, 0.70 mtpa will become operational by Q3-FY25, and the balance 0.65 mtpa by Q1-FY26. The railway siding work at Durg Plant is going on as per plan.
The company is working on many levers, such as optimising geo-mix, higher production and sale of blended cement, an increasing proportion of trade sales, premium and value-added products, logistic efficiency, and the use of more renewable power, to increase its EBITDA/tonne to a four-digit number in the next 12 to 18 months.
Cement demand is expected to remain robust on the back of higher government thrust on developing infrastructure, better real estate demand, private Capex, and higher individual home builders demand.
Retailers witnessed lower than anticipated growth during the recently-concluded festival season.
As per the latest survey released by Retailers Association of India (RAI), retail players garnered an average growth of 7 per cent in October and November compared to the same period in 2022. The growth was led by high-value products while demand for low-value products was muted.
“Retailers had anticipated double-digit sales growth during the puja and Diwali season in October and November 2023; however, the sales growth has been muted for many retailers. Most retailers have indicated that footfalls were not even equal to 2022 though sales were just about the same as in the previous year. Many retailers, especially in the apparel category, only grew sales over last year because of new store openings and online sales. While like-for-like store business was negative for more than 50 per cent of the retailers surveyed,” said Kumar Rajagopalan, CEO, Retailers Association of India (RAI), said,
Flattish sales
Sakshi Suneja, Vice-President & Sector Head – Corporate Ratings, ICRA Ltd, echoed a similar sentiment. “While there has been a sequential uptick in performance of the fashion retail sector in the last quarter of CY2023, led by festive and wedding season demand, ICRA’s channel check suggests that the same remained flattish vis-à-vis last year’s festive season sales,” she said in a statement.
“Retailers did witness a growth in high-value products. Jewellery business grew on the back of higher gold prices and the demand in the latter part of November thanks to the wedding season. However, business for low-value products saw a quantitative dip. Retailers are pinning their hopes on the wedding season, occasion-wear business and end-of-season sale in the coming two months,” Rajagopalan added.
Top regions
According to RAI’s survey findings, retailers in eastern India garnered a growth of 11 per cent during the two festival months compared to same period in 2022. Meanwhile, retail businesses clocked 7 per cent growth in South India, followed by 6 per cent and 5 per cent in North and West India, respectively.
In terms of categories, the growth was led by jewellery (13 per cent), sports goods (11 per cent) and footwear segments (10 per cent). Sales of consumers durables and IT products were up 9 per cent during the festival period over last year driven by higher consumer finance schemes, RAI noted. Furniture & furnishings and beauty & personal care segments also garnered 9 per cent growth each.
The quick-service restaurant segment clocked growth of 7 per cent, while apparel and clothing segment clocked a growth of just about 6 per cent during the festival months compared to last year. Food and grocery sales were pegged at 5 per cent higher.
OČUVANJE zdravlja trebalo bi biti cjeloživotna obaveza, ali ljudi uglavnom postaju pažljiviji tek kad dođu u 50-e. Genetika igra važnu ulogu, ali ponašanje i stavovi ljudi također mogu utjecati na to kako netko stari.
“Dobro starenje više je od pukog fizičkog zdravlja”, rekla je gerijatrica Theresa Allison.
Američka udruga umirovljenika (AARP) osmislila je kontrolni popis za ljude u pedesetima kako bi mogli provjeriti žive li zdravo na temelju najnovijih znanstvenih dostignuća.
1. Imate jake društvene veze
Starije odrasle osobe izloženije su riziku od usamljenosti zbog samačkog života, nerada i smanjene pokretljivosti. Društvena izolacija povezuje se s većim rizikom od srčanih bolesti, moždanog udara, dijabetesa, depresije i demencije. Istraživanja pokazuju da su ljudi sa snažnim sustavom podrške sretniji, zdraviji i žive dulje.
2. Fizički ste aktivni
Ljudi koji su fizički aktivni i kojima je tjelovježba prirodno uključena u život imaju veću vjerojatnost da će dobro stariti. Fizička aktivnost uključuje i vrtlarenje ili šetnje.
Fizička aktivnost održava mišiće i zglobove zdravima, a može poboljšati raspoloženje i pomoći u obrani od kroničnih bolesti, uključujući demenciju, dijabetes i bolesti srca, te produljiti očekivani životni vijek.
3. Pridržavate se mediteranske prehrane
Mediteranska prehrana uključuje povrće, voće, cjelovite žitarice i zdrave masti te se smatra najzdravijim oblikom prehrane.

4. Sudjelujete u aktivnostima i imate osjećaj svrhe
Istraživanja pokazuju da su ljudi u dobi od 50 i više godina koji imaju osjećaj svrhe bolje raspoloženi i žive dulje. Stručnjaci vjeruju da sudjelovanje u aktivnostima može smanjiti razinu stresa i upalu u tijelu, koja je povezana sa zdravstvenim problemima poput kardiovaskularnih bolesti.
5. Spavate najmanje sedam sati noću
San je nevjerojatno važan dio dobrog starenja, a nedostatak sna može povećati šanse za obolijevanje od pretilosti, dijabetesa, depresije, visokog krvnog tlaka i bolesti srca. Istraživanja također nalaze vezu između vremena provedenog u snu i rizika od demencije, pa čak i smrti. Spavanje nudi tijelu vrijeme da se riješi toksina u mozgu i popravi oštećene neuronske veze.
6. Optimistični ste
Istraživanja pokazuju da ljudi s pozitivnim stavom imaju tendenciju živjeti dulje i zdravije od ljudi s negativnim stavovima. Pokazalo se da pozitivan pogled na starenje smanjuje rizik od demencije i produljuje životni vijek za oko sedam i pol godina.
7. Savjesni ste
Savjesni ljudi nastoje redovito ići na liječničke preglede, uzimati lijekove na vrijeme i kloniti se štetnih navika poput pušenja. Neki ljudi prirodno mogu biti savjesniji od drugih, ali možete si pomoći tako da pratite događaje u kalendaru i postavite podsjetnike.
8. Održavate mozak zdravim
Studija objavljena u svibnju ove godine sugerira da gubitak kognitivnih sposobnosti možda nije neizbježan u starosti. “Kada naučite nešto novo, vaš centar za pamćenje svijetli poput božićnog drvca. Stimulirate ga i stvarate petlju novih informacija, a ta stimulacija je poput vježbe za hipokampus”, zaključila je dr. Allison.

NIJEDAN vlasnik kućnog ljubimca nije savršen i sasvim je normalno da tu i tamo pogriješi. Mnogi ljudi misle da je puno lakše vlasnicima mačaka, s obzirom na to da su one puno samostalnije. Ali i mnogi od njih, većinom nesvjesno, rade pogreške koje mogu itekako naštetiti odnosu s mačkom.
Certificirana psihologinja za ponašanje mačaka, Saba Sayyed, u svom je Instagram videu opisala pet najčešćih grešaka koje čine vlasnici mačaka, čime je mnoge iznenadila.
1. Nasilno češljanje ili podizanje mačke
“Ako opetovano podižete ili njegujete svoju mačku protiv njezine volje, to će neminovno dovesti do toga da vaša mačka stvara negativne asocijacije na vas, kao i na četku za njegovanje.”
2. Svakodnevno kupanje mačke
Sayyed navodi da mačke gotovo uopće ne treba kupati niti im čistiti stražnjicu – one to čine same.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
3. Nepružanje prilike za lov
Mačke su predatorice i važno je omogućiti im da ispune svoj lovački nagon, čak i ako žive u kući. Ako vaša mačka ne izlazi, kupite joj igračke koje će je okupirati, savjetuje stručnjakinja.
4. Reagiranje na svako mijaukanje
Ako svaki put reagirate, potaknut ćete svoju mačku da stalno traži pažnju i pretjerano mijauče kad je ne dobiva koliko misli da treba.
5. Glasno obraćanje/plašenje mačke
“Mačke su vrlo osjetljive na zvukove. Stoga će dominacija nad njima ili glasno pričanje povećati njihovu tjeskobu”, tvrdi Sayyed.

Captain Harmanpreet Singh and Jugraj Singh struck a brace each as the Indian men’s hockey team beat France 5-4 in its fourth and final match to notch up its lone win in the five-nation tournament here on Wednesday. Jugraj scored in the 20th and 60th minutes while Harmanpreet found the target in the 25th and 56th minutes. Vivek Sagar Prasad (16th) struck once in the match that went back and forth throughout its duration. India thus ended their largely disappointing campaign with a win. They had lost all their earlier three matches in the tournament — 0-1 to Spain, 2-7 to Belgium and 2-3 to Germany. France are the lowest-ranked side at ninth while India are at third. FIH Player of the Year Award a Recognition of ‘Hard Work and Perseverance’, Feels Hardik Singh.
The first quarter saw France take the lead through a penalty-corner conversion from Lucas Montecot in the 11th minute. India equalised early in the second quarter through a field goal from Vivek. Jugraj then put India in the lead after converting a penalty corner before Harmanpreet doubled the lead through another penalty corner.
France were soon awarded a penalty stroke and Etienne Tynevez (28th) scored to make full use of it as the score read 3-2 in favour of India at half time. France restored parity late in the third quarter with a field goal from Gaspard Baumgarten (43rd minute). As the scoreline read 3-3, both the teams tried to break through each other’s defence in the final quarter.
France stole the lead through another penalty-corner conversion by Etienne Tynevez (53rd) but their joy was short-lived, as Harmanpreet scored through a penalty corner to bring up his second goal. Jugraj returned to score his second goal through yet another penalty corner in the last minute of the match as India emerged 5-4 victorious to end the tournament with a win. FIH Hockey Stars Awards 2023: Hardik Singh Wins Player of the Year, Savita Punia Voted As Goalkeeper of the Year (Female) Again.
The five teams play each other once and the side finishing on top of the points table after all matches will be the winner.

Apple has begun ramping up production of its Vision Pro mixed reality headsets at the company’s facilities in China in recent weeks, with the goal of having customer-bound units ready by the end of January, while the headset could be launched in February, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurnman noted in a recent report, citing sources. However, the report noted that last-minute production problems and other issues could derail the planned launch schedule.
Adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming launch of the Vision Pro, Apple sent an email to software developers on Wednesday asking them to “get ready” for the mixed reality headset by testing their apps and sending the software to Apple for feedback. The company also said in the email to developers, “There’s so much more to come… and we can’t wait to see what the next year brings.”
Gurnman noted that the $3500 Vision Pro could be Apple’s most complex product launch to date, with the company needing entirely new distribution strategies and equipment due to the customised components that need to be assembled and packaged at the point of sale. In particular, the Apple Vision Pro may not display content correctly if it doesn’t fit properly on the user’s head.
The Bloomberg report also notes that Apple is planning to send at least two employees from each of its retail stores to the company’s Cupertino headquarters next month for training. The two-day training sessions will begin in January and continue over the course of several days, during which the retail staff will be taught about the features of Vision Pro and what they should emphasise when talking to potential customers. Staff will also be shown how to fit the headband, optional prescription lenses and light seal to help improve the customer experience.
Apple is expected to challenge Facebook parent Meta’s dominant position in the headset market with the launch of Vision Pro in February, the Tim Cook-led company’s first new product category launch since it began shipping smartwatches in 2015.

LAS VEGAS: The Nevada Supreme Court has denied Nathan Chasing Horse’s request to toss a sprawling indictment that accuses the former “Dances With Wolves” actor of leading a cult, taking underage wives and sexually abusing Indigenous women and girls for decades.
The court’s decision means prosecutors can proceed with their 18-count criminal case after months of delayed proceedings while Chasing Horse challenged it. The 47-year-old has been in custody since his arrest in January near the North Las Vegas home he is said to have shared with five wives.
Chasing Horse pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include sexual assault of a minor, kidnapping and child abuse.
His lawyers argued that the case should be dismissed because, the former actor said, the sexual encounters were consensual. One of his accusers was younger than 16, the age of consent in Nevada, when the alleged abuse began, authorities said.
Public defender Kristy Holston also argued that the indictment was an overreach by the Clark County district attorney’s office. She said some of the evidence presented to the grand jury, including a definition of grooming, had tainted the state’s case.
Holston didn’t immediately respond to a Tuesday request for comment on the state Supreme Court’s decision.
Chasing Horse is known for his portrayal of Smiles a Lot in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves.”
Law enforcement authorities say in the decades since starring in the Oscar-winning movie, Chasing Horse built a name for himself among tribes as a self-proclaimed medicine man while traveling around North America to perform healing ceremonies. They say he used his position to gain access to vulnerable girls and women starting in the early 2000s.
The abuse allegations cross multiple U.S. states, including Nevada, where he was living at the time of his arrest, as well as Montana and South Dakota, according to the indictment.
One of the victims identified in the Nevada case was 14 when Chasing Horse told her that the spirits of their ancestors had instructed him to have sex with her, according to court documents and prosecutors.
Domestic markets are expected to open on a cautious note on Thursday. The sudden fall on Wednesday caught most investors off guard. The panic selling triggered a sharp fall across the board.
Gift Nifty at 21,114 indicates a steady start at Nifty Dec futures on Wednesday, closed at 21,217, and Jan futures at 21,316.
However, analysts expect the market to see value buying, particularly in the large-cap space. However, some small-cap and mid-cap stocks may come under pressure.

Sanjeev Hota, Head of Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said the steep fall in the market across indices was primarily led by profit booking at higher levels, coupled with concerns around the rising covid cases, and potential geo-political tension due to the impact on shipping routes in the Red Sea region arising out Houthi militias from Yemen has dented the investor sentiments.

There are hardly any margins of safety left in some pockets of mid- and small-caps after a significant run-up; thus, taking out some froth is healthy for the market, he added.
Asian stocks are down in early deals on Thursday between 0.5 per cent and 2 per cent. US stocks, too, fell overnight.
“Nevertheless, India’s structural story is getting stronger with stable government, healthy corporate earnings outlook and improving macro picture. Hence, any material dip could again provide investment opportunity in quality stocks,” Sanjeev Hota said.
Stock to buy today: Redington (₹173.35) – BUY
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said: Markets were on a record-setting spree for a while and have been in an overbought zone, so hiccups were expected in the form of profit-taking, which came to the fore today. Redemption was seen across the sectors; even mid & small-cap stocks came under strong bear hammering. Volatility is likely to be the hallmark in the near term, with India’s VIX jumping over 4% in a day.
“Amidst overbought technical conditions, key benchmarks may consolidate in the near term, but that said, the medium-term outlook continues to be in favour of the bulls but only on any steep corrective declines. Technically, support for Nifty is seen at 20917-20707, while the index may face resistance at 21953-22001 levels,” he said.
Once considered a luxury and now an essential in every household, I am the #UpparwalaInDemand, especially in the summer.
To beat the outdoor heat, I overwork from 9 to… Oh, well, I don’t have a log-out time, I log out only when I conk off and stop working. I labour hard so that people working, especially in offices, can turn in their best output. Those old days of hot and sweaty offices with fans whirring slowly and people drowsy from the excess heat are long gone. Now it is all ‘cool’ comfort, efficiency and productivity.
I am at the mercy of my owner who also has a battle to fight, the battle of keeping me at a mutually agreed temperature. All that everyone wants is to take control of the air in the room through me! People who breathe my air have different opinions about me. The first type is the “Please switch off the AC; we don’t live in an igloo” kind. The second type challenges you to turn off the AC, as “they can’t withstand living in a desert-like environment.”
The third type claims that an “AC isn’t natural.” Lastly, the fourth type questions the need for extravagance and wonders who will foot the bill? No wonder, it’s a challenge to get everyone to agree to the right temperature.
When things get heated up inside and out, I am there to help people keep their cool. Everything’s cool until there’s a power cut. That’s when they realize my true value. Everyone looks up to me and notices my existence! As soon as the power is back and I start working, everyone then forgets about me! But when there’s a debate about keeping the earth clean and green, then sure, I’m the biggest culprit etched in everyone’s mind!
People who own me use me as a status symbol to show off to their peers… All they really want is to look at their friends and say, “Hey, I am so cool!” when I’m the one doing all the work! I’m the one who is cool! My failure to make the space cool, would make my owner look decidedly uncool.
It doesn’t stop here. My comparison is then with my subordinates – fans and coolers as we know them to be. People who aren’t able to get their hands on me think of my subordinates as my equivalent. Ah! such a competitive world for the ACs to be in, you see.
In the present era of insane competition and chaos, my job is also to keep my users a little disconnected from the world that lies beyond the door, all that heat and dust, and provide them with what humans always look for – comfort, convenience and calm. Any place I am in, is considered hygienic because my proper functioning requires the enclosure of space, preventing excessive dirt and dust from entering.
But once all their needs are met, they come up with new wants!!! They want superior comfort! And the power to control me through a remote!! Humans!! There is no satisfying them.
Oh, and the woes of maintenance! Neglected filters, ignored ducts, and the lack of regular upkeep not only impact my performance but also reduce my lifespan. I wish I could communicate with you, pleading for regular attention and care. Alas, I am often condemned to suffer silently until the day I am deemed to be too worn out to be of service. But I will not feel sad just yet, as I know very well that my consumption will grow in the coming days, not just because of the change in climate and the prevalence of heat waves. It’s also due to the change in lifestyles and mindsets of consumers.
Who doesn’t look forward to the most comfortable way of living, enveloped within advanced technologies?

NIJE čudno ako na kraju dana popustite pred zdravim navikama i posegnete za nezdravom hranom. Dijetetičarka Lindsay Wengler kaže da bismo u tom slučaju trebali razmisliti o pretjeranom ograničavanju tijekom dana.
“Kada ne dobijemo dovoljno hranjivih tvari ili energije, naše tijelo može signalizirati intenzivnu glad ili želju za hranom, što je obično vidljivo kasnije navečer”, rekla je za Best Life.
Trebamo razmisliti o prehrambenim navikama koje su nas dovele do te točke te dodati hranu bogatu hranjivim tvarima u svoju prehranu. Ovo je deset najboljih namirnica za zaustavljanje žudnje za konzumiranjem hrane u sitne noćne sate.
1. Grčki jogurt
Dijetetičarka Michelle Saari kaže da je grčki jogurt iznimno zdrav međuobrok.
“Grčki jogurt ne samo da je bogat proteinima, već sadrži i dobru količinu kalcija i probiotika. Visok sadržaj proteina usporava probavu, zbog čega se dulje osjećate sitima i pomaže u stabilizaciji razine šećera u krvi. To je izvrstan međuobrok koji se može zasladiti s malo meda ili posipati bobičastim voćem za kasnonoćnu poslasticu”, rekla je.
2. Smoothie
Ovaj osvježavajući napitak može biti poslastica, unatoč tome što sadrži puno hranjivih tvari. Nutricionist Dan Gallagher preporučuje proteinski smoothie s bananama i drugim svježim sastojcima koji su nam ukusni.
“Proteinski prah obično sadrži oko 15 do 20 grama proteina, što će pomoći smanjiti želju za hranom. Banane su bogate magnezijem i kalijem, što će vam pomoći da se opustite i pripremiti vas za spavanje”, tvrdi on.
3. Chia sjemenke
Saari također preporučuje jesti chia sjemenke koje nam mogu dati osjećaj sitosti koji će trajati cijelu noć.

“Chia sjemenke pune su hranjivih tvari, prepune vlakana, omega-3 masnih kiselina i proteina. Kada se namoče, chia sjemenke šire se i stvaraju tvar sličnu gelu, potičući osjećaj sitosti. Njihov visok sadržaj vlakana pomaže u sporoj apsorpciji šećera, što može spriječiti skokove šećera u krvi.”
4. Zob
Jedenje zobi u bilo koje doba dana može pomoći u smanjenju želje za jelom.
“Zob je izvrstan izvor topivih vlakana, osobito beta-glukana, za koje se pokazalo da reguliraju apetit i poboljšavaju kontrolu šećera u krvi. Jedenje male, tople zdjelice zobenih pahuljica navečer može pružiti zasitan učinak, pomažući u obuzdavanju želje za grickalicama kasno navečer”, napominje Saari.
5. Avokado
Dodavanje avokada prehrani još je jedan način obuzdavanja ove nezdrave večernje želje za hranom.
“Avokado je bogat mononezasićenim mastima, koje su zdrave za srce i mogu vas držati sitima. Prisutnost vlakana u avokadu također pomaže u održavanju stabilne razine šećera u krvi”, kaže Saari.
6. Svježi sir
Gallagher preporučuje da probamo svježi sir kao izdašan, ali zdrav međuobrok.
“S visokim sadržajem proteina lako se kombinira s voćem poput ananasa i breskvi te će učiniti da se osjećate zadovoljnima i spriječiti vas da posegnete za nezdravom hranom”, objasnio je.

7. Orašasti plodovi
Brojne su zdravstvene prednosti jedenja male šake orašastih plodova svaki dan, uključujući bolje zdravlje srca i manji rizik od smrtnosti uzrokovane srčanim oboljenjima. Saari kaže da nam čak i skromna porcija može pomoći da se zasitimo te spriječimo noćnu želju za hranom.
8. Leća
Dodavanje leće ili drugih mahunarki našoj prehrani još je jedan način da spriječimo posezanje za nezdravim noćnim grickalicama.
“Leća je izvrstan izvor biljnih proteina i vlakana. Može pomoći u stabilizaciji razine šećera u krvi i pružiti dugotrajan osjećaj sitosti, što je korisno u sprječavanju kasnonoćnog grickanja”, tvrdi Saari.
9. Kriške jabuke s maslacem od kikirikija
Ovo je još jedan međuobrok koji djeluje poput poslastice. Gallagher preporučuje jabuke s maslacem od kikirikija.
“Maslac od kikirikija ima umjerenu količinu proteina, ali ima više masti, što će vam pomoći da ostanete siti. Jabuke su uvijek zdrav izbor i bogate su vitaminima i mineralima”, rekao je.
10. Losos
Na kraju, Saari preporučuje jesti losos koji je bogat omega-3 masnim kiselinama i proteinima.
“Losos može biti izvrsna opcija za večeru koja vas čini zadovoljnima tijekom cijele večeri. Sadržaj proteina u lososu pomaže usporavanju probave, što pomaže suzbijanju žudnje za hranom, dok omega-3 masne kiseline pridonose cjelokupnom zdravlju”, rekla je dijetetičarka.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
ŠPANJOLSKI modni div Zara proširio je svoju uslugu prodaje, popravka ili doniranja rabljene odjeće na nekoliko europskih zemalja od 12. prosinca, pa tako i na Hrvatsku. Na hrvatskoj Zarinoj stranici pojavila se Pre-Owned sekcija.
Nova stranica ima par odjeljaka, uključujući onaj za popravak, prodaju/kupnju i doniranje. Popravak se može dogovoriti online ili u trgovini. Ako se popravak zakazuje online, onda se treba ispuniti obrazac na stranici.
Zara će potom organizirati prikup paketa, a nakon popravka će ga dostaviti natrag. Najveća težina paketa je 5 kg, a troškovi dostave su 5.50 eura. Slična je procedura i kod doniranja, isto se može odraditi online ili se ono što se želi donirati može odnijeti u trgovinu. S time da se prikup paketa kod kuće naplaćuje, i to 1.95 eura.
Ako vas je zanimalo što Zara radi s doniranom odjećom – donira je dalje ili reciklira. “Sva oporabljena odjeća predaje se lokalnim organizacijama koje ju klasificiraju po stanju i kvaliteti. Ta se odjeća donira ljudima suočenima s rizikom od isključenosti, prodaje se u trgovinama rabljenom odjećom ili se reciklira. Prihodi su namijenjeni društvenim projektima ovih organizacija”, stoji na stranici.
Pregledali smo ponudu platforme za preprodaju
Što se tiče prodaje preko Zarine stranice, potrebno je napraviti račun, pronaći Zarin komad koji želite prodati u sklopu kataloga, dodati kratak opis, uploadati fotke i odrediti cijenu. Kada vaš artikl bude prodan, Zara ga preuzima na vašoj adresi.
“Možete prodavati sve Zara artikle kupljene online ili u bilo kojoj od naših trgovina, osim sljedećeg: donje rublje, kupaći kostimi, čarape, ukrasni predmeti, paketi odjeće, kozmetika i Zara Home artikli (osim odjeće i obuće)”, stoji na stranici.
Za kupnju komada je isto potrebno napraviti račun na Zarinoj stranici. “Osim iznosa proizvoda koje kupite na Zara Resell, ovo su dodatni troškovi koje ćete morati snositi:
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Troškovi transakcije: 1 EUR fiksnog troška plus 5% iznosa svakog proizvoda.
Troškovi prijevoza: cijena prijevoza primjenjuje se na svaku dostavu i ovisi o tome je li riječ o nacionalnoj ili međunarodnoj dostavi. Ako u svoju narudžbu uključite proizvode različitih prodavatelja, uzimat će se u obzir različite vrste dostave”, stoji na stranici.
Cijene rabljenih komada se kreću već od 1 eura
Sada kada smo pokrili sve bitne informacije, odlučili smo i pregledati ponudu Pre-owned Resell stranice. Izgled same stranice vrlo je sličan Zarinom web-shopu, ima više kategorija – za žene, muškarce i djecu – a u ponudi se može naći svašta – od kaputa, haljina, hlača, torbi do obuće. Cijene se kreću od 1 eura naviše.
No nisu svi komadi u dobrom stanju. Tako je npr. body za 1.99 eura prljav, što je naglašeno u oglasu – ali na grčkom. Doduše, valja naglasiti da se može kliknuti na prijevod na stranici, ali bilo bi jednostavnije da je sve odmah na engleskom.
U nešto boljem je stanju pamučna majica na pruge koja se prodaje za 2 eura, iako je prilično zgužvana. No ima i komada zbog kojih vrijedi “kopati”. Tako se nikad nošen bijeli top prodaje za 3 eura.
Visoke kožne tenisice u veličini 40, nove i nikad nošene, prodaju se za 19.99 eura. Vuneni kaput s ovratnikom na preklop u M veličini prodaje se za 90 eura, u opisu stoji da je “kao nov”. Crna torbica s istim opisom prodaje se za 30 eura.
Pregledali smo i ponudu muških komada, kod njih je situacija slična – neki su komadi zgužvani, neki u boljem, neki u lošijem stanju, ali našli smo i nekoliko komada vrijednih pažnje. Izdvojili smo ih par niže, poput sive majice dugih rukava za samo jedan euro, nošenih espadrila za osam eura i dva nova komada s etiketom – bijelih tenisica za 20 eura i kaputa za 30 eura.
Hoćete koristiti Zarinu platformu?
Stranica podsjeća na buvljake – mora se “kopati” da bi se našlo dobrih komada. No postoji opcija filtriranja rezultata i možete odabrati da vam se prikažu samo novi komadi s etiketom ili oni koji izgledaju kao novi.
Fotografija komada na prednjoj stranici može zavarati i stvoriti dojam da je u puno boljem stanju nego što zapravo je, a to se otkrije tek kada se na njega klikne i dođe do fotografija oglašivača. Planirate li kupovati/prodavati preko Zarine Pre-owned platforme?

Mitchell Starc was bought in the IPL 2024 auction hosted at Dubai for a record-breaking bid of 24.75 Crore INR by the Kolkata Knight Riders. The franchise from Kolkata broke their banks on the veteran fast bowler as they need a bowler equally skilled both with the new ball and at the death. After the auction, a few accounts on X claimed that Mitchell Starc’s wife, Australian Women’s Team captain Alyssa Healy is five months pregnant and Starc will miss the upcoming IPL to stay alongside his wife. It is a fake news and in fact, nothing about it is true as Alyssa Healy is currently in India leading Australia for the upcoming tour and will also lead WPL team UP Warriorz in February. Multiple franchises including KKR have already enquired about Starc’s availability and they engaged in a bidding war only after the assurance provided from his side. The rumour was first spread by parody account of a cricket influencer. Other accounts joined eventually. ‘Ami KKR’ Mitchell Starc Reacts After Becoming Most Expensive Player in IPL History (Watch Video).

Ans : Yes, you can find quality QLED TVs that are environmentally friendly. Look for models with energy-efficient certifications, sustainable manufacturing processes, and eco-friendly packaging.

Ans : Absolutely! While QLED TVs are generally positioned as premium products, there are affordable options available that don’t compromise on quality.

It’s possible to find a great balance between cost and quality among the QLED TV picks.

It is well known that actor Vijay is working with director Venkat Prabhu for his next, tentatively titled Thalapathy 68. When Vijay does a film, fans and netizens find it hard to keep it to themselves, as they end up bombarding social media platforms with speculations and updates, which sometimes end up becoming rumours.
In a similar light, reports have been making rounds that Thalapathy’s upcoming film is titled Boss or Puzzle. Some media houses have also reported that the film will have an English title. Additionally, a few X accounts have posed to be Kichcha Sudeep, and have tweeted that the actor has joined the film’s cast. However, none of these have come from official sources, and are mere speculations.
Giving clarity on the same, the film’s producer Archana Kalpathi took to her official X handle on Wednesday. She wrote, “Just saw all the updates. Thank you for the love. Keep calm and wait for the real one very soon. Venkat Prabhu is cooking something special. It is definitely not Boss or Puzzle. Happy Morning everyone (sic),” she wrote, putting an end to all rumours.
While we await further updates about the film’s plot, title and genre, the makers have already announced the ensemble cast of the film. Prashanth, Sneha, Laila, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhudheva, Mohan, and Jayaram will be joining Vijay in Thalapathy 68. Apart from these actors, the film will also star Venkat’s regulars, Vaibhav, Premgi, Ajai Raj, and Aravind Akash.
With music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, Thalapathy 68 is set to have cinematography by Siddharth Nuni, art direction by Rajeevan, and stunt direction by Dileep Subbarayan. Archana Kalpathi is backing the film under the AGS Entertainment banner.

Shares of DOMS Industries made a stellar debut at the bourses on Monday after a blockbuster IPO. Meanwhile, India Shelter Finance Corporate (ISFCL) made a decent gain of 10 per cent on listing day.
As against the IPO price of ₹790, DOMS Industries was listed at ₹1,400 on the BSE and surged further to ₹1,434.25. However, profit taking and sudden weakness in secondary market wore out the stock, which closed at ₹1,330.85, a gain of 68.5 per cent over the IPO price. On the NSE, it closed at ₹1,326.05, after hitting a high of ₹1,434 and a low of ₹1,302.
The IPO was subscribed 93.52 times overall, with QIB portion receiving nearly 116 times. Retail investors and non-institutions portions subscribed 69.67 times and 66.51 times respectively.

Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said, “We believe valuations would go over-tretched discounting next one-year earnings growth. Hence, we recommend allotted investors to book profits while those who failed to get allotments in the public offer can wait and watch for reasonable dips for the long term.”
The stationery major had raised ₹538 crore from anchor investors ahead of IPO.
The IPO comprised a fresh issue of ₹350 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) worth ₹850 crore. Net proceeds of the issue will be used to finance a new facility for a wide range of writing instruments, watercolour pens, markers and highlighters besides general corporate purposes.
ISFCL opens strong
Shares of ISFCL were listed at ₹612.70 on the BSE, against IPO price of ₹493, but surrendered most of the gains to close at ₹543.50, up 10.24 per cent over the issue price. On the NSE, it closed at ₹544.70. The ₹1,200-crore (₹800 crore fresh issue and ₹400 crore OFS) public issue of ISFCL was subscribed 36.71 times.

If we are to continue this relationship on Instagram, then I must lay bare my rules of engagement,” wrote Zeenat Aman recently, on her Instagram account.
The former actor — popularly called Zeenie baby — has been a hit on Insta since February, with her unique blend of honesty, authentic home truths and storytelling. As Karan Johar put it,‘Zeenat Aman is everything Instagram is not’. But I think she’s in a tricky territory and things are going to get worse. This is just the beginning of trolling by people who want to accept ‘celebrity influencers’ on their terms, and not the celeb’s. I think Zeenat is beginning to understand the nature of the beast called social media… just like Twinkle Khanna did a few years ago.
Does anyone remember Twinkle? She was all over the place in pre-Reels days, massive Twitter and Insta following, but now she’s almost gone off the radar (see Google Trends graph). She’s still got the numbers, but doesn’t translate into anything. Certainly not more sales for her books — though am told they are eminently readable.
So what I’m saying is this: Zeenat Aman creates great content, we love it, but it’s not connecting beyond nostalgia — for an older audience that is. I think Brand Zeenat is in trouble. Yes, there will be some advertising deals thanks to new age Insta-friendly brands (Cred has signed her on), but I see brand tiredness on the horizon.
Remember Rajiv Makhni? The Gadget Guru guy is still around and creating great videos as Tech Makhnified, but, sorry, I’d rather be one of the 23 million watching Technical Guruji — Gaurav Chaudhary.
Brand fatigue is also creeping up on Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid and a bunch of superstars who were top draw just a couple of years back. Why? Here are some reasons why the sun sets on celebs on social media.
Rigid content: If a celebrity’s content is too rigid and fixed, not moving/reflecting current trends or interests of their followers, they are going downhill.
Too much ‘Me First’ content: When content is too lifestyle-ish, too show-offy, too self-indulgent, it’s a warning sign. You are alienating followers.
Controversies: Nobody likes controversies, never mind who’s in the right or wrong.
Over-saturation: Overexposure can sometimes lead to a saturation point. I think that’s what happened to Sachin — I don’t see his content being shared too much these days.
Power shift: The social media highway is littered with bodies of celebs who shifted careers, transited from X to Y and then to Z.
Platform changes: Twinkle Khanna never made it to Reels-land. Her witty asides have little place for newer audiences. Also, younger generations might not be as familiar with older celebrities like Zeenat.
Algorithm: Changes in social media algorithms can impact a celebrity’s visibility. It is a bit tricky, but good content may not align with algorithm’s preferences and posts might not appear in followers’ feeds.
I can’t sign off without mentioning Beer Biceps aka Ranveer Allahbadia. I think he’s got it just right, connecting with the aspirations of the new YouTube generation. He will get some flack on his recent political interviews, but he will survive and get even more popular.

POSLJEDNJIH godina kokice su postale popularan izbor međuobroka za one koji teže mršavljenju. Popularnost je razumljiva s obzirom na praktičnost i svestranost. Međutim, postoji mnogo informacija o tome jesu li kokice korisne ili štetne za mršavljenje.
Kokice su cjelovite žitarice i vrsta proizvoda od kukuruza. Kad se zrno kukuruza zagrije, njegova jezgra puca, stvarajući pahuljasti zalogaj koji svi poznajemo. Jedna od primarnih prednosti kokica je njihov visok sadržaj vlakana, koji su ključni za zdravlje probavnog sustava i mogu pomoći u mršavljenju, tako da se dulje osjećamo sitima.
Kalorijski sadržaj
Kokice pečene na zraku bez ulja imaju malo kalorija. Porcija od tri šalice sadrži oko 90 do 100 kalorija. Također, gotovo da ne sadrže masnoće i šećer. To kokice čini izvrsnim međuobrokom za one koji broje kalorije.
Uloga kokica u mršavljenju
Zbog visokog sadržaja vlakana kokice nam mogu pomoći da se osjećamo sito uz relativno nizak unos kalorija. To može smanjiti ukupni unos kalorija, što je možda najvažniji čimbenik u mršavljenju. Osim toga, zamjena manje zdravih grickalica kokicama može biti pametna strategija za smanjenje unosa kalorija.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Potencijalni nedostaci
Najveći rizik kod kokica predstavljaju nezdravi dodaci. Maslac, karamela i sir značajno povećavaju sadržaj kalorija i masnoća, što umanjuje dobrobiti omiljene grickalice. Čak i kokice pečene na zraku mogu pridonijeti debljanju ako se konzumiraju u prevelikim količinama. Kontrola porcija je ključna.
Uz to, kokice koje se pripremaju u mikrovalnoj pećnici i unaprijed zapakirane kokice često sadrže dodane masti, šećere i umjetne arome što ih čini manje idealnima za mršavljenje, piše Masala Monk.
Zaključno, domaće kokice, posebno one pečene na zraku, općenito su bolje za mršavljenje od onih iz trgovine ili iz mikrovalne pećnice. To je zato što možemo kontrolirati dodatke i veličinu porcije.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
POZNATO je da Amazon ima vrlo jednostavnu politiku povrata robe, a jedna njihova djelatnica prije nekoliko mjeseci okomila se na kupce koji tu mogućnost koriste. Video je još jednom privukao pozornost na društvenim mrežama, a reakcije ne idu u korist djelatnice.
“Vjerojatno će te otpustiti”
U svojem je videu na TikToku Gt.jae, djelatnica Amazona, odlučila podijeliti što ljudi vraćaju nakon kupnje i koji razlog navode. Kao prvi je predmet navela donje rublje za oblikovanje tijela, a ženu koja ga je vratila nije štedjela.
“Dakle, navukla si ove gaće na svoju veliku guzicu, zaključila da ti se ne sviđaju i vratila ih? A znam da imaš veliku guzicu jer si kupila veličinu L”, rekla je u videu. “Kao razlog povrata piše: ne uvlači mi trbuh. Draga, život tako ne funkcionira. Ako želiš da ti trbuh bude vitkiji, potrudi se. Idi u teretanu.”
U komentarima nije naišla na odobravanje. Publici se zamjerila ne samo time negativnim stavom prema osobama koje vraćaju proizvode koji im ne odgovaraju, već i po tome što je uvrijedila osobu zbog veličine odjeće koju nosi: “Želim ostati mirna, ali teško je kad čujem kako je bezobrazna prema plus size osobi.”
Mnogi očekuju i kako ovaj video neće dobro završiti po njezino zaposlenje: “Kako je Beyonce rekla: ‘Netko će dobiti otkaaaaz'”, “Amazon će te vjerojatno otpustiti zbog ovoga”, “Reci mi da želiš otkaz bez da mi kažeš da želiš otkaz”. U međuvremenu je Gt.jae doista i promijenila posao i sad je, kaže, puno bolje plaćena.

Amazon ima liberalnu politiku povrata robe
Drugi zaposlenici Amazona, kao i potrošači, stali su u obranu osobe koja je vratila steznik: “Kao zaposlenik Amazona, potičem vas da vratite sve što želite iz bilo kojeg razloga”, “Ako nešto ne pristaje ili ne radi što treba, u redu je vratiti proizvod”.
No ono što je upitno kod povrata pronašli smo u drugom videu Gt.jae u kojemu potiče kupce da paze s povratima jer Amazon prodaje nošenu odjeću kao novu: “Prestanite kupovati odjeću na Amazonu. Samo obrišemo mrlje s vraćene i nanovo je prodajemo.”
Komentatori još jednom nisu bili na njezinoj strani te su uporno isticali kako odjeću svejedno treba oprati prije prvog nošenja. No mnogi su istaknuli i kako to uopće nije ni poanta: “Plaćate punu cijenu za korišteni proizvod a da to niste ni znali.”
Amazon je inače poznat po svojim jednostavnim uvjetima povrata robe. Većinu kupljenih proizvoda možete bez problema vratiti unutar 30 dana od dana kad ste primili pošiljku te ćete uredno ostvariti povrat novca unutar 7 dana od dana kad je povrat zaprimljen i zabilježen. Zbog takvih pravila neki će “posuditi” odjeću s Amazona, nositi ju jednom i vratiti, znajući da ništa ne gube.

Nottingham, December 20: Steve Cooper has been sacked as Nottingham Forest head coach, following a spell of over two years in charge, the Premier League club said. The 44-year-old has been dismissed after a run of one win in 13 matches and five defeats in the last six. It has left Forest 17th in the Premier League, only five points above 18th-placed Luton Town, who have played a match fewer. FIFA Club World Cup 2023 Semifinalists Manchester City Fined 150K Dollars After Players Show Dissent to Referee During EPL Game Against Tottenham Hotspur.
Cooper’s final match in charge was a 2-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last Friday. Appointed as head coach in September 2021, Steve galvanised Forest’s extraordinary rise up the Championship table and into the play-offs, culminating in a memorable win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium in May 2022. He then went on to manage the team for 55 matches in the Premier League.
“Everyone at Nottingham Forest would like to thank Steve for his superb contribution to our football club. His achievement in guiding Forest back to the Premier League will undoubtedly remain an iconic moment in the Club’s history,” Owner Evangelos Marinakis told the club’s official website:
“We thank Steve for his dedication and commitment during his time with us, as well as the incredible connection he forged with our supporters and the city of Nottingham. Steve will always remain a friend of the Club and will forever be welcome at The City Ground. We wish him well in his future endeavours,” he added. Several reports suggest Nuno Espirito Santo is the leading candidate to replace Cooper at Forest. FIFA’s Rebooted Club World Cup Could Change the Face of Soccer and Spark a Player Backlash.
The 49-year-old would take charge of his third Premier League club, after previously being head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur. Nuno recently left Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad, after 16 months in charge.

The deal, disclosed in a court filing late Monday, calls for changes to Play Store policies to reduce barriers to competition in the markets for app distribution and payment processing. The lawsuits, grouped together in federal court in California, threatened billions of dollars in revenue generated by the sale and distribution of apps through Google Play.
“This settlement builds on Android’s choice and flexibility, maintains strong security protections and retains Google’s ability to compete” with makers of other operating systems, Wilson White, Google’s vice president for government affairs and public policy, said in a statement. White said the agreement also maintains the company’s ability to invest in the Android ecosystem for users and developers.
Google is facing mounting antitrust challenges at home and abroad. The US Justice Department alleges it has illegally maintained a monopoly over search and advertising, in a case expected to be decided next year. The US is also trying to break up its ad technology business, in a case filed earlier this year. And European Union competition chief Margrethe Vestager said in June that the only way to restore competition in that sector was for Google to spin off its ad tech business.
Monday’s deal comes after a federal jury in San Francisco this month sided with Epic Games Inc. over its claims that Google Play app distribution, payment and fee policies are unlawful. US District Judge James Donato will decide next year how Google must revamp its Play Store rules.
Donato is also presiding over the states’ and consumers’ case and must approve the settlement for it to take effect, with a hearing scheduled for Feb. 8. Alphabet announced a tentative pact in September without disclosing financial details. The filing says all 50 states, the District of Columbia and two US territories have now joined the accord.
What’s in the Accord
The pact includes a number of changes to the company’s app market policies.
For at least five years it would block Google from entering or enforcing agreements requiring mobile device makers to preload or feature the Play Store exclusively on home screens of their products. It would also force Google to make it easier for users to install apps outside the Play store, “including by combining certain warning screens and updating user interface language.”
Some developers have complained that consumers trying to install their apps without going through Google Play have to grapple with multiple steps and security warnings.
The accord extends a pilot program Google launched last year that lets certain developers offer an alternative payment option alongside Google Play’s billing system to all developers, including game developers who were excluded from the program, for at least five years.
Moreover, for at least six years Google must permit developers to steer users to alternative purchase methods, including buying apps directly from websites, by reaching out through means such as email. But the company can block developers from including external links to outside payment systems in their apps, according to the deal.
The settlement creates a $630 million common fund to benefit consumers and a $70 million fund to resolve state claims for penalties, restitution, disgorgement and fees.
‘No True Relief’
Corie Wright, Epic’s vice president of public policy, said the settlement offers “no true relief for consumers or developers.”
“After originally seeking $10.5 billion in antitrust damages identified as Google’s unjustly collected fees, the states’ attorneys general settled for a $700 million payout,” Wright said in a statement. “Consumers will continue to overpay for digital goods as a result of Google’s imposition of supracompetitive 30% fees for Google Play billing or 26% junk fees on top of payments Google isn’t involved in processing.”
A lawyer representing consumers declined to comment on Wright’s statement. Lawyers for the states didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The state AGs alleged in their complaint, filed in 2021, that Google used unlawful tactics to block competition and ensure that developers have no choice but to go through the Play Store to reach users. In a separate class action on behalf of almost 21 million consumers, Google was accused of inflating Android app prices by taking as much as a 30% cut of Google Play transactions.
Alphabet separately settled claims by Match Group Inc. ahead of the trial with Epic in San Francisco, which kicked off in early November.
The case is In Re Google Play Store Antitrust Litigation, 21-md-02981, US District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

The start of August has seen a plethora of Friendship day ads — especially by young digital companies. Brand Indigo soared with some captivating work on its 17th birthday while Thums Up opened its innings for Cricket World Cup 2023 with a thundering campaign.
Indigo flies high
On its 17th anniversary, the airline that took off with some clever ‘Hello 6E’ wordplay, has come out with a lovely campaign that pays tribute to all the innovations it has brought to flying Indians everywhere — be it the cookie tins, the chicken junglee airwiches, the girl power or the step less boarding. Join the celebration, feel the liberation, get set go, goes the peppy song and dance number set on the tarmac. Made by ad wiz V Sunil, who created the original Indigo branding, it’s a true celebratory ad, cleverly weaving in the 500 new aircraft orders the company made recently.
Thundering in
Cola brand Thums Up, which is the official beverage partner of the ICC, opened its Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign with an exhilarating “Toofan Uthao, World Cup Jao” video that sees fans debating how good India’s chances are, especially as England is in such good form. Featuring Harsha Bhogle, and created by Ogilvy, it also ignites a contest where fans can scan and add to the debate on who will win the Cup and stand the chance to win some tickets for the matches.
Nudging movie lovers
Cinema exhibitor PVR INOX’s new campaign Fresh Dekho, Bada Dekho nudges movie lovers to go to cinema halls and enjoy films when they are fresh — rather than settle for stale on streaming platforms or television, by which time they lose spice. The campaign consists of five humorous videos ‘Kitty Party ka Scandal,’ ‘Captain ka Rahasya,’ ‘Boss ka Affair,’ ‘TuraikiSabzi,’ and ‘Repeat Telecast’ that drill home the message that big screen experience gives you a taste of freshness.
Fast food friends
Meat supplier Licious has come up with a delightful ‘Friendship Day’ film featuring three loved mascots of big fast food restaurant brands. It is after hours when a clown, a colonel and a king enter the Licious Kitchen and things look sticky with the three rivals eyeing each other. But the twist is that they bond over their #LoveForMeat and settle down to dig into juicy chicken wings.
ZDRAVLJE srca predstavlja veliki problem. Kardiovaskularne bolesti prvi su uzrok smrtnosti u Hrvatskoj i uključuju stanja kao što su koronarna bolest srca, zatajenje srca i moždani udar. Ako se ne otkrije na vrijeme i ne liječi, kardiovaskularna bolest može biti smrtonosna. Stoga je vitalno uočiti bilo kakve znakove upozorenja.
Neki od znakova bolesti srca su prilično poznati, poput bolova u prsima. Međutim, drugi su manje poznati. Prema jednom stručnjaku, na koži se mogu pojaviti neki neočekivani simptomi. Dermatolog dr. Dustin Portela upozorio je na neke važne znakove koji se mogu uočiti na koži.
“Dermatolozi su obučeni tražiti znakove unutarnje bolesti koji se pojavljuju na vašoj koži. Evo nekoliko njih koji bi mogli signalizirati rizik od bolesti srca”, rekao je u videu koji je objavio na TikToku.
Prema dr. Porteli, tri znaka na koje treba obratiti pažnju su:
oticanje nogu
savijeni nokti
Frankov znak (dijagonalna brazda na ušnoj resici).
“Prva stvar na koju treba obratiti pozornost jest oticanje nogu, posebno bilateralni edem koji se javlja na obje strane tijela. Oticanje nogu može biti znak zatajenja srca”, objasnio je.
Prema klinici Mayo, to se događa kada donje komore srca prestanu učinkovito pumpati krv. Krv se može “nakupiti” u nogama, gležnjevima i stopalima, što dovodi do edema.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Sljedeća stvar je nokat koji se savija prema dolje, dok vrh prsta postaje otečen. To bi mogao biti znak bolesti srca, infekcije srca ili bolesti pluća. Ako patite od savijenih noktiju, oni mogu biti mekani i spužvasti na dodir te topli”, dodao je.
Klinika Cleveland opisuje takve nokte kao “zaobljene i ispupčene”, oblik koji podsjeća na obrnutu žlicu. Takvi nokti također mogu izgledati crveno i širiti se oko vrhova prstiju.
“Posljednje je nešto što se naziva Frankov znak, a to je dijagonalna brazda u ušnoj resici koja može biti pokazatelj bolesti srca”, zaključio je dr. Porteli.
Studija slučaja objavljena u BMJ ističe da istraživanja pokazuju “značajnu povezanost” Frankova znaka s povećanim rizicima od ishemijske bolesti srca i srčanih udara.

PSEĆA prehrana znatno se razlikuje od ljudske. Postoji mnogo namirnica koje su sigurne za ljude, ali su štetne ili čak opasne za pse. Kako biste sačuvali zdravlje svojeg četveronožnog prijatelja, važno je znati koje namirnice trebate izbjegavati.
Jedna od prvih stvari koje treba napomenuti je da čokolada nikako nije pogodna za pse. Čokolada sadrži tvar teobromin, koja može izazvati ozbiljne zdravstvene probleme kod pasa. Simptomi trovanja čokoladom mogu uključivati povraćanje, proljev, ubrzane otkucaje srca, drhtanje mišića, pa čak i napadaje.
Luk i češnjak, u bilo kojem obliku (svježi, sušeni, u prahu), također su nepoželjni u prehrani pasa. Oni sadrže tvari koje mogu dovesti do anemije. Alkohol je izuzetno opasan za pse. Čak i mala količina alkohola može prouzročiti ozbiljno trovanje, uključujući povraćanje, proljev, teškoće s disanjem i koordinacijom, pa čak i smrtonosni ishod.

Pratite što vaš pas jede
Važno je napomenuti da postoje mnoge druge namirnice koje bi psi trebali izbjegavati, uključujući avokado, orahe, sirovo tijesto za kruh i slatkiše koji sadrže ksilitol.
Umjesto da dijelite hranu sa svojim psom, bolje je konzultirati se s veterinarom o najboljoj prehrani za vašeg četveronožnog prijatelja. Redovita i uravnotežena prehrana ključna je za održavanje zdravlja i sreće vašeg psa.
I, naravno, uvijek budite svjesni što vaš pas jede kako biste izbjegli potencijalne opasnosti. Vaš pas ovisi o vama kako biste mu osigurali sretan i zdrav život pa pazite da mu pružite najbolju prehranu.

SHEIN je brzo postao jedan od najvećih svjetskih trgovaca modom s povoljnim cijenama, no jedna žena u second-hand trgovini doživjela je neočekivano iznenađenje. Naime, našla je haljinu iz Sheina koja se prodavala po nevjerojatnoj cijeni.
U videu koji je privukao 409.400 pregleda tiktokerica Talylor McAllister primijetila je da “vintage trgovine izmiču kontroli”.
Haljina, jasno označena kao Shein proizvod, prodaje se po cijeni od 58 dolara (53 eura) unatoč tome što se odjeća sa Sheina obično prodaje po maloprodajnoj cijeni od manje od 10 dolara (9.12 eura).

Ovaj problem postoji već neko vrijeme
Kao što su mnogi primijetili, praksa dućana rabljene robe da kupuju odjeću iz brze mode i zatim je prodaju po višim cijenama predstavlja problem koji već neko vrijeme postoji.
“Svi nam govore da prestanemo kupovati sa Sheina i da štedimo, ali ovo je stvarnost! Ne trošim više”, “Doslovno si više ne mogu priuštiti proizvode iz trgovine rabljenom robom”, “Shein nalazim posvuda, toliko je frustrirajuće kad second-hand dućani postanu kanta za smeće”, “Trgovine rabljenom robom ne mogu naplaćivati istu cijenu kao potpuno nova odjeća. Radije ću kupiti nove stvari”, “Donirala sam haljinu sa Sheina jednom od vintage dućana. Prihvatili su moju haljinu i izrezali oznaku od Sheina. Prodano za 15 dolara (13.68 eura), a kupila sam je za 6 dolara (5.47 eura)”, komentari su ispod videa.
Shein je već ranije izazvao pomutnju na TikToku. Jedan je kupac otkrio da se na Amazonu prodaje Shein džemper od 14 dolara (12.76 eura) za 44 dolara (40.12 eura). Najapsurdniji trenutak bio je nedavni slučaj kada je kupac pronašao rabljene Shein traperice za 77 dolara (70.20 eura), a prodavač je tvrdio da su traperice vintage.

Ans : An IP (Ingress Protection) rating indicates how resistant the speaker is to dust and water. Higher IP ratings mean better protection against the elements, making the speaker suitable for outdoor use or near water bodies.
Question : What should I consider when choosing a Bluetooth speaker for a gift?
Ans : When choosing a Bluetooth speaker as a gift, consider the sound quality, battery life, and portability of the speaker. Additional features like waterproofing, connectivity options (such as NFC or Wi-Fi), and compatibility with voice assistants can also be important, depending on the recipient’s preferences and lifestyle. Design and aesthetics might also play a role if the speaker will be used in home environments.
Question : Can Bluetooth speakers be connected to multiple devices simultaneously?
Ans : Many modern Bluetooth speakers offer the ability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. This feature, known as “multi-connect” or “multi-point pairing,” allows easy switching between different audio sources. However, this capability varies by model and brand, so it’s important to check the specifications of the specific speaker.
Question : How does battery life impact the usability of a Bluetooth speaker?
Ans : Battery life is a critical factor in the usability of a Bluetooth speaker, especially for portable use. Longer battery life ensures uninterrupted music playback during outdoor activities, travel, or extended periods without access to a power source. It’s advisable to choose a speaker with a battery life that matches the user’s needs.
Question : Can Bluetooth speakers be used for purposes other than playing music?
Ans : Yes, Bluetooth speakers can be used for various purposes beyond playing music. They can serve as amplifiers for video or gaming audio, provide enhanced sound for podcasts and audiobooks, and facilitate hands-free calls with built-in microphones. Some speakers also have the capability to connect to voice assistants, making them useful for smart home control and voice commands.

Meat snack company Slim Jim is asking motorists to keep an eye out for the modified Nissan Z it displays at promotional events across the nation. Highly distinctive thanks to a long list of aftermarket parts, the coupe (which is nicknamed Fast Meat) was stolen in Los Angeles.
Slim Jim explains that Fast Meat has been driving around the United States as part of a partnership with the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It stopped in Chicago, and it then made its way to Los Angeles to star in a video. That’s where it was stolen in December 2023.
The Z was last seen in California, according to the brand. It’s difficult to miss: riding on aftermarket wheels, it features a Slim Jim wrapper-themed exterior wrap with the brand’s logo, deep-tinted windows, and orange LED underbody lighting. We don’t know the color of the paint underneath the wrap, and while photos of the interior haven’t been released we’re told it’s equipped with custom yellow leather upholstery.
Numerous interior details further set Fast Meat apart from a regular Z. There’s a Slim Jim holder, a one-of-a-kind Slim Jim dispenser in the glovebox, and a handful of “69,” “420,” and “Long Boi Gang” logos scattered across the interior. Clearly, this is not a run-of-the-mill Z.
Slim Jim is asking anyone with information about who stole the car or where it’s located to contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
S S Deepak Pragana, the Managing Director of Mirai Bar and Kitchen, shares insights into his journey within the food industry, “The year 2023 commenced with promising transformations that significantly impacted our lifestyles. However, as the year drew to a close, the F&B industry encountered challenges due to escalating competition, somewhat dampening its earlier successes. Over the past year, the F&B sector has dominated the start-up and investment landscape. Hyderabad, in particular, has witnessed an astonishing metamorphosis in its F&B scene, boasting world-class clubs and an array of global cuisines served in opulent settings. As a young entrepreneur juggling various business domains, the final three months of 2023 proved to be a whirlwind of experiences, providing abundant learning opportunities. This industry aligns closely with my age group, allowing me to leverage customer feedback effectively. Challenges in the start-up realm are invigorating, offering vital insights into market realities. Yet, within Hyderabad’s established F&B arena, the primary hurdles revolve around maintaining consistency, fostering customer relationships, and integrating feedback effectively. In an increasingly competitive landscape, possessing a unique selling proposition (USP) and preserving it consistently remains paramount.”
