We met Sumant Kathpalia, MD and CEO of IndusInd Bank, to discuss the progress on the Bank’s Planning Cycle 6 and its strategy to deliver sustainable and profitable growth. He reiterated the bank’s unwavering focus on building a strong retail liability franchisee (add more than 1,000 branches), balanced credit portfolio mix with a higher share of AHL/SME/Cards, micro-banking vs. micro-finance and, thereby, sustainable RoAs (1.8-2.2 per cent).
The bank is keen on building a strong wealth management business, including AMC, and remains open to the inorganic route. Sumant is keen on full-term extension beyond Mar-25, while the bank has appropriate succession planning in place across the top and middle management to avoid any business disruption.
We have raised our earnings estimates by 1-4 per cent over FY24-26, factoring better growth/lower LLP and expect the bank to deliver healthy RoA @1.9-2 per cent/RoE at 16-18 per cent RoE. Factoring in better earnings/RoE trajectory and margin stability amid the risk of contraction among peers, we upgrade the TP to ₹2,000/share from ₹1,825/share, rolling forward its P/ABV on 2.1x Dec-25E ABV vs. 2x Sep-25 earlier.

PREMA studijama objavljenim u British Medical Journalu i Journal of American College of Cardiology, kava ima brojne zdravstvene prednosti. Navodno može smanjiti rizik od razvoja nekoliko zdravstvenih stanja, uključujući dijabetes tipa 2, visoki krvni tlak, pretilost i depresiju. Ipak, neki lijekovi mogu negativno reagirati s kofeinom, stoga je potrebno obratiti posebnu pažnju, piše Fenix Magazin.
Lijekovi za dijabetes: Studije ukazuju na to da kofein može smanjiti učinkovitost inzulina i oralnih lijekova za dijabetes, što bi moglo zahtijevati posebno upravljanje konzumacijom kave kod dijabetičara.
Lijekovi za astmu: Aminofilin se koristi za liječenje astme, ali njegove nuspojave kao što su nesanica i pad krvnog tlaka mogu se pojačati konzumacijom kave.
Lijekovi za Alzheimerovu bolest: Lijekovi poput donepezila i rivastigmina koriste se za liječenje Alzheimerove bolesti, a istraživanja sugeriraju da prekomjerna konzumacija kave može umanjiti njihovu učinkovitost.
Antidepresivi: Neki antidepresivi mogu imati pojačane nuspojave u kombinaciji s kavom te se preporučuje konzultacija s liječnikom.
Antihipertenzivi i antipsihotici: Studije pokazuju da kava može smanjiti učinkovitost ovih lijekova, što zahtijeva pažljivo praćenje.

Lijekovi za liječenje hipotireoze: Lijekovi za liječenje hipotireoze mogu imati smanjenu apsorpciju ako se uzimaju s kavom.
Lijekovi za prehladu i alergije: Kava može pojačati učinke nekih lijekova za prehladu i alergije, potencijalno izazivajući nemir i probleme sa spavanjem.
Lijekovi za osteoporozu: Kod uzimanja risedronatne kiseline za osteoporozu konzumacija kave može znatno smanjiti učinkovitost lijeka.
Iako kava donosi brojne zdravstvene prednosti, važno je biti svjestan mogućih interakcija s lijekovima. Prije kombiniranja kave s lijekovima uvijek se savjetujte sa svojim liječnikom kako biste osigurali optimalnu učinkovitost i izbjegli negativne reakcije.

U SVIJETU sportske obuće trendovi se često mijenjaju, no jedan od najnovijih fenomena je snažan povratak Asics tenisica na scenu. Nakon godina kada su dominirali drugi brendovi, Asics je ponovno osvojio srca ljubitelja sportske obuće diljem svijeta.
Asics, japanski brend poznat po visokokvalitetnoj sportskoj opremi, posebno tenisicama, doživio je svoj vrhunac popularnosti u ranim 2000-ima. Međutim, tijekom proteklog desetljeća mnogi su drugi brendovi preuzeli primat, ostavljajući Asics u sjeni. No, čini se da su se stvari promijenile u posljednje vrijeme.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Stvari su zaista počele uzimati zamah kada se brend hrabro upustio u “područje retro-vintage tehnologije”, posebno s lansiranjem Gel-Kayano 14, kultnog stila koji već traje 30 godina. Asics je započeo niz suradnji s brendovima kao što su Awake NY i Andersson Bell, unoseći svježu i jedinstvenu perspektivu u modni svijet, istovremeno proširujući svoju potrošačku bazu.
Asics je oduvijek bio omiljen među sportskim entuzijastima, no danas je ovaj brend uspio proširiti svoj doseg izvan sportskih krugova i postati nezaobilazan dio urbanog stila.

New Delhi, Dec 18: Chennaiyin FC were disallowed two goals as they went down fighting 0-1 to Punjab FC in the 2023-24 Indian Super League (ISL) match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Monday. Madih Talal scored the only goal of the match for Punjab FC in the 56th minute, giving his team their first win in the league. The away team got off to a positive start and had a scoring opportunity in the 14th minute of the match as Ninthoinganba Meetei found Jordan Murray in the box, who then made a pass to Connor Shields but the forward couldn’t guide the ball into the goal. Defender Ryan Edwards put the ball into the net five minutes later from a corner by Rafael Crivellaro. However, the referee disallowed the goal and gave a foul against Connor for blocking the goalkeeper inside the six-yard box. India to Host FIFA World Cup 2034? AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey Tells Members About Plan to Co-Host Football WC With Saudi Arabia.
Punjab FC was quick to counter as Talal forced Chennaiyin’s Goalkeeper Debjit Majumder to make two back-to-back saves from the centre of the box. Talal displayed supreme control in the box in the 36th minute and tried to score a goal acrobatically with a bicycle kick before it hit the crossbar to keep the away team in the game.
The home side took the lead in the second half as Talal found the back of the net with a right-footed shot from the right side of the box. Chennaiyin kept pushing for an equaliser, and Majumder made another fine save off a shot of Juan Mera. Murray put the ball into the goal with a header in stoppage time. However, the referee again disallowed the goal and gave a foul against the Chennaiyin player for fouling the goalkeeper. Chennaiyin FC will now face Mumbai City FC away from home on December 28, while Punjab FC will take on Odisha FC on December 26.

If two of the latest Apple Watches are on your holiday shopping list, don’t dawdle for much longer because the devices won’t be available to buy in the US later this week if the White House doesn’t intervene in an international patent dispute.
Apple users alert! Govt. warns against THIS critical risk
Apple plans to suspend sales of the Series 9 and Ultra 2 versions of its popular watch for online US customers beginning on Thursday afternoon and in its stores on Sunday. The move stems from an October decision by the International Trade Commission restricting Apple’s watches with the Blood Oxygen measurement feature as part of an intellectual property dispute with medical technology company Masimo.
Apple may revert to THIS iPhone 12 design with upcoming iPhone 16
The White House had 60 days to review the ITC order issued on October 26, meaning Apple could have kept selling the two affected models in the US through Christmas. But the Cupertino, California, company said in a Monday statement that it is pausing sales early to ensure it complies with the ITC order.
If the ITC’s sales ban isn’t overturned, Apple pledged to “take all measures” to resume sales of the Series 9 and Ultra 2 models in the US as soon as possible.

The Apple Watch SE, which lacks the Blood Oxygen feature, will remain on sale in the US after Christmas Eve. Previously purchased Apple Watches equipped with the Blood Oxygen aren’t affected by the ITC order.

MILIJARDER Mark Cuban u posljednje vrijeme prolazi kroz nekoliko velikih životnih promjena. Najavio je da napušta Shark Tank te možda prodaje svoj većinski udio u Dallas Mavericksima.
Međutim, jedna stvar se ne mijenja. I u profesionalnom i u privatnom životu ostaje posvećen zdravlju. Osim što je pokrenuo vlastitu tvrtku za lijekove, 65-godišnji poduzetnik svakodnevno uzima nekoliko dodataka prehrani koji mu pomažu da bolje spava, zaštiti svoje kosti i smanji upalu.
Melatonin
Cuban kaže da svaku večer uzima dodatak melatonina. To je hormon koji tijelo proizvodi i pomaže u regulaciji ciklusa spavanja i budnosti. Razina melatonina opada tijekom dana kao odgovor na Sunčevu svjetlost, a ponovno raste navečer, zbog čega se osjećamo pospano.
Meta-analiza iz 2013. pokazala je da su ljudi koji su uzimali dodatak melatonina zaspali otprilike sedam minuta brže te spavali osam minuta duže.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D je esencijalni vitamin koji našem tijelu pomaže apsorbirati kalcij iz hrane, što je neophodno za izgradnju i održavanje jakih, zdravih kostiju, posebno kako starimo. Ljudi ga obično unose putem prehrane ili izlaganjem suncu. Nakon što je saznao da ima manjak vitamina D, počeo je uzimati taj dodatak. Sada su, kaže, njegove razine vitamina D ponovno u željenom rasponu.
Vitamin E
Cuban uzima i vitamin E, koji se inače nalazi u različitom voću, povrću, orašastim plodovima, sjemenkama i biljnim uljima te djeluje kao antioksidans.
Uzimanje dodatka vitamina E ipak može imati određene zdravstvene prednosti. Neki dokazi upućuju na to da dodatak vitamina E može usporiti proces starenja stanica, ojačati imunološki sustav i poboljšati zdravlje krvnih žila. Međutim, znanstvenici iz US Preventive Services Task Forcea rekli su u izjavi iz 2022. da ne preporučuju uzimanje vitamina E za prevenciju kardiovaskularnih bolesti ili raka.

NOVOOTVOREN pseći vrtić u Strasborugu, na sjeveroistoku Francuske gdje je u tijeku nadaleko čuveni božićni sajam, omogućuje posjetiteljima koji dolaze s četveronožnim ljubimcima da u miru švrljaju pitoresknim i okićenim ulicama i trgovima.
Usred te silne gomile ljudi “psi ništa ne vide i pod velikim su stresom, puno im je bolje u psećem vrtiću”, objašnjava teta u psećem vrtiću Laëtitia Lacote, idejna začetnica projekta. Ona procjenjuje da oko 80 posto vlasnika pasa vodi svoje ljubimce na godišnje odmore.
Laëtitia Lacote (46) pokrenula je 2021. u Alzasu projekt Patch Guard, koji u turističkim odredištima nudi novu uslugu: pseću verziju babysittinga. U dva mjeseca je ispred palače Haut-Koenigsbourg i u Mulhouseu kroz njezin vrtić prošlo 80 pasa.

Sretni su što ne moraju voditi psa po gužvama
Tako su vlasnici dvogodišnjeg koker španijela, koji su u Strasbourg stigli iz Nancyja u posjet kćeri, iskoristili Patch Guard kako bi u miru obišli božićni sajam i uživali u kuhanom vinu i poslasticama alzaške regije te kupili pokoji suvenir.
“Iskoristit ćemo boravak u gradu koji već dovoljno dobro poznajemo, posjetit ćemo božićni sajam i prošetati se ulicama”, rekla je Christine Montanini, sretna što ne mora po gužvi voditi svog psa.
Cijena čuvanja pasa je 15 eura za pola dana i 25 eura za cijeli dan. Laëtitia Lacote planira proširiti svoj biznis i na ostala turistička odredišta. Božićni sajam u Strasbourgu posjetilo je prošle godine oko 2.6 milijuna turista.

AKO želite preurediti svoju kupaonicu na jednostavan i brz način, idealno rješenje je promijeniti WC dasku. Dio je to kupaonice na koji mnogi ne obraćaju pozornost, no to je ipak funkcionalan dio našeg doma te ga nema smisla zanemarivati s estetske strane. Ako je nešto funkcionalno, ma koliko neglamurozna ta funkcija bila, estetski potencijal je i dalje tu.
Crno ili šareno? Izbor je vaš
Dizajneri interijera i influenceri sve češće biraju WC daske u bojama koje se uklapaju u ostatak kupaonice, a odskaču od boje same WC školjke, piše Apartment Therapy. Daske su u većini domova standardno bijele, a takve ćete najčešće nalaziti u trgovinama. No, ima ih mnogo u krasnim bojama koje ne biste trebali zaobići.
Kad je riječ o alternativama, najčešće se koriste crne daske, a trend je to koji je započeo još 1920-ih. Danas će se mnogi okrenuti i vedrijim bojama poput ružičaste, žute ili plave koje se obično slažu s nekim detaljima u kupaonici, poput ručnika ili stolića.
Opcije za svačiji interijer
U našim trgovinama ima mnogo zanimljivih WC daski po povoljnim cijenama. Vraćamo se još jednom na cjenovnu prihvatljivost ovog načina uređenja doma. Plava je boja koju ćete vjerojatno najlakše pronaći.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Dostupne su i WC daske u vrlo vedrim bojama poput žute, narančaste ili ljubičaste. Ako imate jarke detalje u kupaonici, ovakvu dasku ćete vjerojatno lako uklopiti u interijer. Ako je vaša kupaonica pretežito jednobojna, možda baš pruži vedrinu koja joj je potrebna.

Dubai, December 18: Come December 19, and the eyes of all cricket fans will be on the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai where 10 franchises will be under one roof to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) Auction and finalise their squads for the upcoming season happening next year. IPL 2024 Auction: Who Was the Most Expensive Player at Last Year’s Bidding Event?
The IPL Auction roster features 333 players, out of which 214 are Indians and 119 are overseas players, including two from associate nations. The total number of capped players is 116, while uncapped players are 215. A maximum of 77 slots are now available with up to 30 being slotted for overseas players.
Though there are some big names in the fray at the auction, there will also be significant interest for the uncapped Indian players, who have been on the radar of the franchises ever since the domestic season began and could turn out to be the mainstays for the future.
IANS looks at some uncapped players who can secure deals with IPL franchises at the auction:
Abhimanyu Easwaran – base price of INR 20 lakh
The Bengal opener had a great time in this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, making 248 runs in seven innings, at a strike rate of 155 and averaging 35.42, including two fifties. Though a hand injury cut short his time at the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Easwaran made 272 runs in four innings, averaging 90.66 at a strike rate of 91.27, including a century and two fifties.
Not only does he excel with the bat, but Easwaran is also known to be a great fielder, adding versatility to his skill sets. His being an uncapped Indian opener, who is also dependable, especially in powerplay situations, will be keenly noted by IPL teams.
Arshin Kulkarni – base price of INR 20 lakh
The seam-bowling all-rounder, which is a rare skillset in the Indian cricketing circuit, is currently with the India U19 team preparing for next year’s World Cup in South Africa but has done enough in recent times to catch the eye of many teams. In the Maharashtra Premier League (MPL), Kulkarni made a blistering 117 off 54 deliveries for Eagle Nashik Titans and even took 4/21 in the same game.
That propelled him to make his T20 debut for Maharashtra in this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, taking four wickets while batting with a strike rate of 163.51. In the U19 Asia Cup in the UAE, where India reached the semi-finals, Kulkarni had figures of 3/29 and made 70 not out while opening the batting to steer the team home against Afghanistan. IPL 2024 Auction Team Purse Balance: Here’s How Much Money Each Team Can Spend During Indian Premier League Players Bidding Event in Dubai.
Harvik Desai – base price of INR 20 lakh
Hailing from Bhavnagar in Saurashtra, Gujarat, Desai is a talented wicketkeeper-batter who made a significant impact in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, making 336 runs in seven innings at an average of 67.20 and a strike rate of 175.
He also hit a century and two fifties in the competition, ending as the sixth leading run-getter in the tournament. What sets Desai, who hit the winning runs for India in the 2018 Men’s U19 World Cup, apart is his versatility in both opening the batting and taking wicket-keeping duties, making him a valuable asset.
Manav Suthar – base price of INR 20 lakh
The latest addition to the pool of left-arm spinners in the country is Manav Suthar, who hails from Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan. He came to the forefront while being a member of India ‘A’ during the ACC Men’s Emerging Cup in July as finished among the top three leading wicket-takers, with ten scalps in five games.
Suthar’s exceptional skill and composed temperament, combined with his ability to contribute crucial runs in the lower order, make him a coveted choice. He also had been a net bowler for Gujarat Titans during their championship-winning run in IPL 2022 and is currently with India ‘A’ squad on a tour of South Africa.
Pradosh Ranjan Paul – base price of INR 20 lakh
Pradosh has been a consistent performer for Tamil Nadu in the domestic circuit, like scoring three centuries in the Ranji Trophy last season and his debut heroics in the first four-day game against South Africa ‘A’ for India ‘A’, where he smashed 163 on debut in Potchefstroom.
Pradosh, the left-handed batter, was in the India ‘A’ squad for the ACC Men’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Sri Lanka this year. He is known to have a knack for hitting boundaries consistently, thus rendering a significant impact and contributing with valuable runs for the team’s cause.
Sameer Rizvi – base price of INR 20 lakh
The young Uttar Pradesh batter has been making waves in the domestic circuit of late due to his batting exploits. In the UP T20 League, Rizvi scored 455 runs in nine innings in the tournament for Kanpur Superstars, including hitting two incredible centuries and the most sixes by any batter in the competition.
In this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Rizvi scored 277 runs in seven innings, averaging 69.25 at a strike rate of 139.89, including two fifties. He then went on to be the leading run-getter in the U23 List A competition, where he hit 84 runs from 50 balls in the final, as Uttar Pradesh emerged victorious.
T. Ravi Teja – base price of INR 20 lakh
A versatile all-rounder from Hyderabad, T. Ravi Teja made a mark as the leading wicket-taker in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023, taking 19 wickets in seven innings at an average of 10.10 and an economy rate of 7.11. Former IPL Auctioneer Richard Madley Wishes Good Luck to Mallika Sagar As She Prepares to Conduct IPL 2024 Auction.
At the Dhaka Premier League earlier this year, he showed his batting chops by scoring 500 runs from 11 innings. The 29-year-old could be a good option for teams searching for a reliable pacer who can be a handy batter when needed.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Australian rockers AC/DC are mourning the band’s original drummer Colin Burgess, who has died aged 77, the group said on social media.
“Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess,” AC/DC wrote on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook late Saturday.
Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess. He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin. pic.twitter.com/8jWLXq8TPJ
“He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin.”
The posts did not disclose the cause of death.
Burgess was a founding member of the group, best known for the 1979 hit “Highway to Hell” and 1980 album “Back in Black”, alongside original singer Dave Evans, bass player Larry Van Kriedt plus guitar-playing brothers Angus and Malcolm Young.
AC/DC formed in 1973, but Burgess left the following year, and was eventually replaced by the band’s present drummer Phil Rudd.
Burgess also founded the rock band The Masters Apprentices, who were inducted into the Australian music industry’s Hall of Fame in 1998.

Think museums and most people would imagine stuffy, academic places where the past is recreated and presented, and where the young would go only unwillingly. But museums can become thriving, throbbing experiential hubs — and a great place for brands and businesses to create engaging touchpoints with customers.
At the Bihar Museum Biennale 2023, a four-month long event in Patna that launched this August, where museum directors, gallery owners and art lovers converged, there was a scintillating discussion on the creative business of museums. How can museums increase their footfalls? How can museums make their displays get into the current contemporary culture and sensibilities? How can museums attract children and young adults, and help them develop innovative minds?
The Creative Business of Museums
The venue of the Biennale — the Bihar Museum itself, a striking modern space built by Japanese architectural firm Maki & Associates, in association with, Mumbai-based Opolis Associates, on a sprawling 5.6 hectares site, proved to be an excellent example of a highly experiential cultural gallery. For instance, dancers and singers from Kilkari Bal Bhawan bring alive the artefacts in the museum through songs and performances. Interactive touchscreens with quizzes about various items on display — for instance the first currency in India, which incidentally came from Bihar — engage the visitors. A fine dining restaurant, the well known Pot Belly brand, a cafeteria and a large shop ensure the visitor stays longer at the museum and spends more.
But it was during the Biennale symposium where the likes of Professor Yannick Lintz, President of the Guimet National Museum, Paris, Dr Pheroza Godrej, founder of Cymroza Art Gallery, Mumbai, Stephen Inglis, former director general at the Canadian Museum of Civilizations and Michael Peter Edson, the former New Media strategist for the Smithsonian Institute, who is now setting up the museum of solutions in Mumbai funded by the JSW Foundation, spoke that ideas flew.
Here are some takeaways.
Past becomes contemporary
Norwegian ambassador to India, Hans Jacob Frydenlund, kicked off the discussions on the creative business of museums by talking about Norway’s most iconic painting — The Scream. He described how it has inspired a movie franchise and how the agonised face in the painting has also inspired an emoji. “All museums have a story to tell and all museums need a professional to tell the story,” said Frydenlund.

Interestingly, enough The Scream was also featured in Coca-Cola’s global campaign titled Masterpiece. The scintillating ad which uses AI and special effects shows a bored art student in a museum, until there is sudden action. A bottle of Coca-Cola jumps from canvas to canvas, starting with Andy Warhol’s 1962 Coca-Cola painting onto Turner’s The Shipwreck, Edvard Munch’s The Scream and several other masterpieces before it finally lands into Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, whose subject opens the bottle and passes it to the bored student for inspiration.
Any object can become a museum piece
Dr Alka Pande, art historian and curator of the Bihar Museum Biennale showed a series of slides of off-beat museums around the world to show that any object can become a museum piece. For instance, in Japan, there is the Cup Noodles museum set up by Nissin. Later, chatting with this writer, Pande said that business houses in India that spend huge amounts on advertising could create great connect and resonance by setting up museums on everyday items. For instance, Amul could do a history of dairy museum or Haldiram could create a museum revolving around the history of street foods.
Cup Noodles Museum in Japan
Involving the communities
Michael Edson talked about how the Museum of Solutions (MuSo) in Mumbai is going to be boldly child-led. “Young people have tremendous imagination and energy. But they don’t become magically mature,” he said, explaining the importance of spaces that would fuel curiosity and thinking, and spark innovation. The MuSo will have no collections, he promised. It would also involve the communities and take ideas from them.
Merchandise and more
Museums are slow to change, rued Edson. In India especially, this is true, said Alka Pande, describing how museums can do so much by creating exciting merchandise the way several museums abroad do. Roping in celebrities can help boost footfalls too. For instance, the Louvre in Paris broke all ticket-office records soon after Beyonce and Jay Z’s music video was shot there.

BADEMI, češnjak i tamna čokolada navodno mogu zagrijati vaše tijelo i pomoći vam da se dobro naspavate, tvrde stručnjaci.
“Dobar san zimi može biti teško postići pa moramo tražiti načine da se brzo ugrijemo i brže zaspimo. Često ostanemo umotani u debele pidžame i teške poplune, ali to može uzrokovati pregrijavanje i rezultirati znojavim snom pa se nemojte iznenaditi ako se probudite mokri usred noći”, izjavila je stručnjakinja za spavanje Rebecca Swain.
Ali ako želite izbjeći trošenje bogatstva na račun za grijanje ili biti zarobljeni ispod milijun deka, stručnjaci su za portal Witney Gazette podijelili nekoliko savjeta. Od lososa do zobi, ovo je devet namirnica koje možete jesti prije spavanja kako biste se ugrijali i bolje naspavali.
Losos
Masna riba poput lososa bogata je omega-3 masnim kiselinama koje mogu pomoći u cirkulaciji krvi i pružiti toplinu prije nego što legnete u krevet. Skuša je još jedna opcija ako niste ljubitelj lososa.
Korjenasto povrće
Mrkva, krumpir i peršin nalaze se na popisu korjenastog povrća koje se preporučuje jesti u jelima prije spavanja.
Banane
Banane su pune vitamina i hranjivih tvari koje će vam pomoći da se opustite prije spavanja. Također, sadrže magnezij koji djeluje kao prirodni relaksant mišića.
Toplo mlijeko
Uz čašu toplog mlijeka možete se lakše opustiti i brže zaspati. Triptofan u toplom mlijeku je ono što vam pomaže da se opustite prije spavanja.

Biljni čaj
Čaj od paprene metvice, hibiskusa i kadulje neke su od održivih opcija koje će vam pružiti ugodnu toplinu prije nego što odete na počinak.
Češnjak
Sirovi češnjak zaslužan je za pomoć kod sezonske gripe i prehlade jer je pun zagrijavajućih svojstava i antioksidansa. Možete napraviti juhu od češnjaka koja će vas odmah zagrijati za noć.
Zob
Zdjelica zobi prije spavanja može pružiti topli osjećaj koji će vam pomoći da se opustite i lakše zaspite. Zob je korisna i za probavu.
Bademi
Zdrave masnoće u bademima mogu pomoći u zadržavanju tjelesne topline, što pomaže kod iznenadnih noćnih buđenja.
Tamna čokolada
Sadržaj kave u tamnoj čokoladi može pružiti osjećaj topline, kako biste se prije spavanja osjećali opuštenije.
Dakle, biranje lagane, hranjive hrane poput toplih napitaka, orašastih plodova i mliječnih proizvoda prije spavanja zimi, može poboljšati kvalitetu sna. Izbjegavanje teških obroka i stimulansa dodatno pridonosi ugodnom noćnom odmoru.

SVI VLASNICI pasa žele biti sigurni da su njihovi ljubimci zaštićeni tijekom zime. Kada temperature padnu, važno je imati na umu nekoliko stvari jer hladnoća može imati različit utjecaj na naše krznene prijatelje. Ako ove zime planirate provoditi vrijeme sa svojim psićima na otvorenom, ovo su neki od načina na koje ih možete zaštititi.
1. Ako je vama hladno, i njima je, unesite ih unutra
Iako su psi prekriveni krznom, vani im može biti hladno, a dugotrajno izlaganje hladnoći može dovesti do hipotermije, čak i kod najdlakavijih pasa. Nakon što obave svoje potrebe, preporučljivo ih je brzo vratiti na toplo kako bi se zaštitili od hladnoće.
2. Obratite pozornost na hipotermiju i ozebline
Ako vaš pas drhti, to je velik znak upozorenja. Psi koji imaju problema s hodanjem, poteškoće s disanjem, čiji su koža i krzno hladni na dodir te djeluju umorno mogu pokazivati znakove hipotermije ili ozeblina. Posebno je opasno ako im se krzno smočilo i ostavljeni su na hladnoći. Ako su hladne šape vašeg psa popraćene drugim simptomima, poput otežanog hodanja, blijedih desni ili problema s disanjem, važno je posjetiti veterinara što je prije moguće. Ovo bi mogli biti znakovi ozbiljnijeg problema.
3. Dajte šansu kaputu
Ne trebaju svi psi dodatnu zaštitu koju kaput može pružiti, ali psi s kraćom dlakom, stariji psi ili psi s određenim zdravstvenim problemima mogu imati koristi od dodatne topline koju taj odjevni predmet pruža. S godinama psi mogu imati poteškoća u reguliranju tjelesne temperature, pa dodatni sloj može značajno pridonijeti njihovoj udobnosti.
4. Razmislite o čizmama
Ne samo da su pseće čizmice i cipelice preslatke, one mogu pomoći vašem psu da ne padne pri hodu po skliskim pločnicima i prilazima. Također, štite šape vašeg psa od stvari poput kamene soli koja može završiti na njihovim šapama i uzrokovati ozljede i infekcije.
5. Pazite na njihovu prehranu
Studije sugeriraju da psi koji su izloženi niskim temperaturama trebaju dva do tri puta više kalorija nego što im je potrebno na umjerenijoj temperaturi. Ako vaš pas provodi puno vremena vani po hladnom vremenu, potrebno mu je i više kalorija kako bi lakše regulirao tjelesnu toplinu. S druge strane, ako će vaš pas manje vježbati zbog niskih temperatura, možda će mu trebati manje kalorija, piše PetHelpful. Preporučljivo je posavjetovati se s veterinarom kako biste saznali njegovo mišljenje o svom psu i njegovim zimskim kalorijskim potrebama.

6. Pazite na antifriz
Antifriz može biti izuzetno opasan za pse. Može oštetiti njihove bubrege i uzrokovati smrt, čak i ako poližu samo malu količinu sa svojih šapa nakon što su hodali po njemu. Ako vidite antifriz na prilazima, držite psa podalje, a ako je to vaš prilaz, odmah ga očistite. Ako mislite da je vaš pas popio antifriz, kontaktirajte svog veterinara što je prije moguće. Nemojte čekati da se vaš pas razboli jer odgođeno liječenje možda neće biti tako učinkovito.
7. Imajte vode sa sobom ako idete u šetnju
Ponekad zaboravljamo da naši psi i tijekom zimskih šetnji trebaju vodu. Iako im možda nije vruće kao ljeti, održavanje hidratacije i dalje je važno.
8. Pazite kuda hodate
Pametno pravilo za hodanje po zaleđenim jezerima ili vodama jest da to ne činite, osim ako led nije dovoljno čvrst da podnese motorne sanjke. To obično zahtijeva otprilike 12.7 cm leda.
9. Čuvajte se i unutarnjih opasnosti
Nema ničeg ljepšeg od psa koji je ušuškan ispred kamina, sve dok iskre ne pogode njegov rep. Ako vaš kamin ima mrežastu pregradu, bitno je spriječiti svog psa – i mačku! – da drijema izravno ispred nje. Stakleni kamin može pružiti veću sigurnost, osim ako vaš pas slučajno ne dodirne vruću površinu. Isto vrijedi i za grijače i radijatore.

KADA je u pitanju toplinsko oblikovanje kose, malo uređaja uživa u tolikoj popularnosti na društvenim mrežama kao Dysonov Airwrap i Supersonic sušilo za kosu. Koriste ih gotovo svi, i često se o njima mogu naći razni videi u kojima ih se uglavnom hvali.
No jedna tiktokerica nije imala najbolje iskustvo s Dysonovim Airwrapom. U svom videu koji je do sada pregledan preko 200.000 puta kaže da ga je koristila otprilike jednom tjedno dvije godine prije nego što je počela imati probleme s njim.
“Volim ovu stvar”
Janelle Marie (@millennialmatleave) u svom videu tako kaže: “Mrzim ovo raditi, ali mislim da neke ljude treba upozoriti na Dyson Airwrap. Moj se pokvario četiri dana nakon što mi je isteklo jamstvo.”
Kaže da je prije toga vidjela video neke djevojke kojoj se dogodilo isto. “Prije par dana počelo je bljeskati crveno svjetlo, što znači da filter treba očistiti. Očistila sam ga kao što sam i prije znala raditi, ali ovaj put nije ponovno proradio”, pojasnila je u videu.
Dodala je da nema što nije probala da ga ponovno pokrene. “Volim ovu stvar, u iskušenju sam da kupim još jedan jer ga toliko volim, ali 600 i nešto kanadskih dolara da bih dobila dvije godine korištenja nije isplativo.” Dodala je da si ne može opravdati taj trošak. “Možda je samo loša sreća”, zaključila je u videu.

“Probaj ga popraviti”
Osim što je video prikupio visoke brojke pregleda, također je prikupio i mnoštvo komentara.
“Dyson ima odlično jamstvo, mom je isteklo i to skoro godinu dana, ali ipak su ga zamijenili”, “Isto mi se dogodilo, nazvali smo Dyson nakon isteka jamstva i zamijenili su ga”, “Imao sam Dysona. Najgori usisavač koji sam ikad imao. Nikad više neću vjerovati hajpu”, “Moj radi evo već četiri godine”, “Dogodilo mi se dva puta”, “Toliko ljudi ima istu priču o Dysonu. Nikada ga neću kupiti, jer sam ovo čula od toliko ljudi”, neki su od njih.
Kontaktirala je Dyson
S obzirom na to da je video prikupio mnoštvo pregleda i komentara te je puno ljudi bilo zainteresirano za nastavak, tiktokerica je objavila još jedan video u kojem kaže da ih je kontaktirala, ali da još uvijek nije dobila nikakav odgovor. Kaže da se još uvijek nada da će se situacija okrenuti u njezinu korist.
Ispod videa jedna je gledateljica komentirala da joj se dogodila ista stvar s istim uređajem. “O moj bože, upravo sam prošla kroz isti postupak za svoj Dyson Airwrap s potpuno istim problemom. Poslala sam im 16 mejlova, nisu mi odgovorili.”

Domestic markets are likely to open on a negative note on Monday. However, analysts expect the market to sustain the momentum with information technology stocks joining the rally. Foreign portfolio investors continue to invest in India following the Fed’s dovish stance.
The market will remain in the consolidation phase as investors will likely indulge in sector/stock rotation. Profit-taking at higher levels and value-buying at lower levels are likely to keep the market in a range.
Manoj Purohit, Partner & Leader – FS Tax, Tax & Regulatory services, BDO India, “The recent pullout by the US on Federal rate hikes have been one of the catalysts to keep the Indian market flooded with cash flows from the FPI fraternity.
FPIs have reversed their position and turned into net buyers in the first week of December.
Gift Nifty at 21,487.50 indicates a negative start for domestic markets as Nifty futures on Friday closed at 21,557.10. Most Asian stocks are down in early deals on Monday, even as US stocks closed in the green.
Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said India is one of the top investment destinations of FPIs. “There is a near consensus now in the global investing community that India has the best prospects among the emerging economies for sustained growth for many years to come. This growth has the potential to create phenomenal wealth through the stock market. FPIs are investing to benefit from this potential wealth creation,” he further said.
The other factors contributing to FPIs to pump liquidity in the Indian market are RBI’s inflation forecast at 5.4 per cent and positive signs of improved capex and valuations. The Sensex touching an all-time high also acted as an icing on the cake.
“All in all, the momentum for the Indian cash equities market reflects a promising wind up of 2023 and a strong base for 2024 to start with, taking the foreign investments inflows to a new horizon,” said Purohit.
The screens were dominated by Independence Day ads over the last fortnight as brands gave creative expression to the idea of freedom. Hearteningly, the ads showed on-ground effort by the brands.
End dependence
Federal Bank’s Independence Day campaign was themed ‘End Dependence’ and promoted the idea of self reliance among its customers. The video begins with an elderly woman struggling to recharge her DTH service on her mobile. But, she manages to do so in the end. The joy of successfully doing it on her own is written all over her face as the camera pans to show that she is in a living room surrounded by her family. Not only is the campaign a nudge to get even those who are not digitally savvy to use mobile apps, but also promotes the Federal Skill Academy that runs free skilling programmes to empower economically disadvantaged youth and women.
In-dependence
Matchmaking platform Shaadi.com has made an unusual film that shows the other side of marriage. It creatively highlights through a school setting and a dialogue between a teacher and girl students how even after 76 years of independence, 76 per cent of Indian women continue to live “in-dependence”. The film is part of the CSR effort of the brand to further the cause of women’s financial independence. This Independence Day shaadi.com joined hands with Udayan Care, a women-focused NGO to up-skill up to 10,000 women over a period of five years.
Threads of the nation
Tata Tea Premium’s Independence Day effort was a tribute to India’s rich handloom legacy with its “Desh Ke Dhaage” campaign. Using gigantic 3D anamorphic outdoor activations, the brand showcased the vibrant stories of Indian handlooms through special edition packs of Tata Tea Premium at DLF CyberHub in Gurugram from August 13 to 17. Executed in collaboration with the Laqshya Media Group, the immersive experience took consumers on a colourful joyride through the artistry of some of India’s iconic handloom weaves — from the grandeur of Banarasi Silk to the intricate Chanderi, from the vibrant Phulkari of Punjab to the exquisite Pochampally from Telangana.
Sisters in the spotlight
Chocolate brand Cadbury is always ahead when it comes to festive marketing and it’s already out with its Rakshabandhan campaign that puts sisters in the spotlight. Its #BrothersWhoCare campaign points out how romantic relationships tend to take over our mindspace and push siblings in the background. Why can’t brothers take out their sisters for a movie or dinner and make her feel special is the central message of this lovely campaign conceived by Ogilvy.
UKLJUČIVANJE laganih treninga s utezima u fitness program neće automatski rezultirati izrazitim mišićima. Ova često netočna pretpostavka i dalje se može čuti u svijetu ženskog fitnessa pa smo odlučili popisati sedam savjeta za žene koje žele unaprijediti treninge snage i postići najbolje rezultate.
1. Utezi nas neće učiniti mišićavima
Mit je da će nas utezi učiniti mišićavima. Zapravo, utezi za treniranje, čak ni oni teški, neće učiniti žene glomaznima.
Pomoći će u rastu mišića, uklanjanju sala i izgradnji ženstvenih oblina. Možda ćete dobiti na mišićnoj masi, ali kada je riječ o izgledu, trening snage može stvarno transformirati vaše tijelo.
2. Ne brinite o tome što drugi misle
Sasvim je prirodno osjećati se malo zastrašeno u teretani kad tek krenete trenirati. Najbolji savjet je lažirati samopouzdanje dok ga uistinu ne steknete. Većinu vremena, kada se osjećate kao da ljudi gledaju u vas osuđujućim očima, zapravo vas ne gledaju. Općenito, posjetitelji teretane brinu samo o sebi i o tome kako dobro izgledaju dok vježbaju, piše BulkNutrients.
3. Trenirajte prsa
Prsa su velika mišićna skupina, a za njihovo jačanje najbolje su vježbe poput zgibova, sklekova i potisaka. Razvoj prsa gradi funkcionalnu snagu koja je neprocjenjiva za sve ostale dijelove tijela i ukupnu snagu.
4. Ne zaboravite proteine
Povećanje unosa proteina može nam pomoći u izgradnji i održavanju čistih mišića, održati nas dulje sitima te nam zauzvrat pomoći da ojačamo. Proteini nisu važni samo za rast mišića, već i za njihov oporavak. Dodavanje proteinskog shakea nakon treninga može pomoći u obnovi i rastu mišića te spriječiti bol u mišićima.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
5. Odmorite
Da bismo ojačali i razvili mišiće, nužno je odmoriti se. Dani odmora jednako su važni kao i dani treniranja jer tada tijelo zapravo gradi mišiće. Često mislimo da je više bolje, pogotovo kada imamo cilj, ali to nije nužno slučaj s gradnjom mišića. Uzimanje slobodnog dana omogućuje tijelu da se oporavi, odmori i raste.
6. Jedite dovoljno i zdravo
Prehrana je jednako važna kao i trening. Pobrinite se da jedete dovoljno i da je ono što jedete kvalitetna hrana koja će nahraniti tijelo i osigurati energiju. Vjerovali ili ne, ne jesti dovoljno bit će jednako loše kao i jesti previše.
Ako svoje tijelo ne opskrbljujete dovoljnom količinom hrane koja mu je potrebna, primijetit ćete smanjenje energije, kao i sporiji oporavak. Možete izgubiti masnoću i dok jedete pristojnu količinu hrane. Važno je da uključite puno povrća i proteina u svoju prehranu, i osjećat ćete se zadovoljno.
7. Vježbajte kako biste poboljšali svoje tijelo, a ne kako biste izgledali kao netko drugi
Istina je da morate prigrliti vlastito tijelo i raditi na tome da se osjećate dobro iznutra i izvana. Svaka je žena drugačija; trenirajte kako biste poboljšali kako se osjećate fizički, ali i psihički.

Ravichandran Ashwin congratulated Nathan Lyon after the Australian off-spinner became the only eighth bowler in the history of Test cricket to take 500 wickets. Lyon achieved this remarkable feat when he dismissed Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf on Day 4 of the AUS vs PAK 1st Test in Perth. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Ashwin wrote, “8th bowler and only the 2nd off-spinner in history to pick 500 test wickets. @NathLyon421 congrats mate.” Ashwin himself is only 11 wickets away from achieving that mark and will look to complete the milestone in India’s Test series against South Africa and later on, against England.

How to find the Best Microwaves under ₹30,000?
To find the best microwaves under ₹30,000, it’s essential to begin your search with a clear understanding of your specific needs and preferences. First, determine the type of microwave that suits your cooking style. If you primarily use it for basic reheating and simple cooking tasks, a solo microwave should suffice. However, if you enjoy grilling and toasting, consider a grill microwave, and if you want the versatility of baking and roasting, opt for a convection microwave. This initial choice will narrow down your options significantly.
Next, consider the microwave’s capacity. If you have a small family or plan to use it for personal cooking, a microwave with a capacity of 20-25 liters should be adequate. For larger families or those who entertain frequently, look for models with a higher capacity. Additionally, pay attention to energy-efficient features like inverter technology to save on electricity costs. Finally, read user reviews and expert recommendations to ensure the microwave you select is reliable, user-friendly, and offers the features you need within your budget. By combining your specific requirements with thorough research, you can confidently find the best microwave under ₹30,000 that suits your kitchen and cooking needs.
It is essential to highlight the importance of comparing prices and features across different brands and models. Given the wide range of microwaves available in this price category, it’s crucial to compare not only the price tag but also the features, build quality, and customer support offered by various manufacturers. Look for brands with a reputation for producing durable and reliable appliances, as this ensures your microwave will stand the test of time. Additionally, explore any special features that align with your cooking habits, such as preset cooking modes or sensor technology that can simplify your culinary tasks. By conducting thorough research and making informed comparisons, you can confidently select the best microwave under ₹30,000 that perfectly fits your kitchen and lifestyle.

The outlook remains positive for the stock of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) (₹1,078.55). If the current rally sustains, APSEZ can hit a high of ₹1,350.
On the other hand, APSEZ finds an immediate support at ₹1,017. A close below can weaken the stock towards ₹882. A breach of this will change the outlook negative again. We expect the stock to move in a narrow range with upward bias.
F&O pointers: APSEZ December futures closed at ₹1,085 against the spot close of ₹1,078.55, signalling the existence of long positions.
Despite the stock climbing from ₹833-level, the counter shed open interests at regular intervals. Open positions, from 5.29 crore shares on December 1, fell to 5.01 crore shares currently. Option trading indicates a wide range of ₹800-1,200.
Strategy: We advise traders to consider a bull-call spread on APSEZ. This can be initiated by selling 1100-call and simultaneously buying 1080-call. These options closed with a premium of ₹30.85 and 39.10.
As the market lot is 800 shares, this strategy would cost traders ₹6,600, which would be the maximum loss. Maximum loss would happen if APSEZ closes at or below ₹1,080 on expiry.
On the other hand, a profit of ₹9,400 is possible, if APSEZ closes at or above ₹1,100 on expiry. Keep the stop-loss at ₹2,500.
Follow-up: HDFC Asset Management swung wildly last week, hitting the target. Those who are still holding, can exit.

“Donkey! Gadha!” said an irate Briefcase. “Talking to me?” asked the Backpack in a perplexed tone. “Yes, you…you who have converted people into beasts of burden, carrying heavy weights on their back. I don’t understand how you young people want to carry a backpack instead of a briefcase.”
Look at me, said the briefcase. Look at my sharp edges, the polished brown leather exterior, the soft brown interior, the pockets and pouches, and the golden locks that click shut. My pouches can carry files and papers neatly, and there is a space to keep the Sheaffer or Cross pen for signing cheques. I can be locked, and all my contents can be kept safe, free from theft. What peace of mind I can offer!
I enable every office goer to signal his ambition to reach the top, become a boss, have the power to sign high-value cheques and know the power of structure, order, planning, and being organised in propelling people to the top. I have inspired countless previous generations of office-goers to do their best and to realize their ambitions. Now, you, Backpack, have spoiled this young generation of office-goers; I don’t know just how you have done it.
The perplexed Backpack now saw the light. He understood that the briefcase was both angry and sad at being displaced and replaced. It was his turn to speak and explain why the younger generation of office-goers were so attached to their backpacks.
Briefcase Sir, you know, this generation doesn’t like being stuck inside cubicles. Your sharp edges and rectangular shape remind them of cubicles and enclosed spaces, where they feel like they are being jailed. On a more practical level, it is impossible to carry a briefcase when driving a motorcycle or even a scooter. But it is so easy to hold papers, a water bottle, and all necessities in a backpack. Moreover, backpacks nowadays come in all forms, shapes, sizes, colours, and designs. There are hard backs and shells and soft backs. They have pouches for placing the laptop. There are black, nylon versions, and designer versions as well.
Carrying a briefcase in your hand weighs you down. Wearing a backpack on your back frees you up. Your hands are free. All you need is on your back, and you are free to set out to explore the world, seek adventure, and taste freedom. Get on your bike with your pack on your back, and the big, wide world beckons. What’s not to like about this? Every young person in the world dreams of flying away, out of the nest, and feeling free to see the world.
A visibly upset Briefcase interjected that freedom and adventure was all very well in college but not when you start working. Stability and assuming responsibility is important. Starting work life is a rite of passage that needs its own symbolism.
Backpack spoke up and said this generation of youth would like their work-life to be an adventure, a discovery, an exploration. Each workday should feel exciting and a source of learning something new, and not be burdened by responsibility, or repetitive.
Briefcase spoke up again and said, even if I agree with what you say, this is all true only for the elite class. They have all the money to free them from the burden of responsibility. Middle-class youth don’t have that luxury. They can’t think like that.
Backpack said, I am sorry to have to say this, Briefcase Sir. But today’s middle-class youth who are in the workforce do think like this. They drive around in two-wheelers, carry backpacks, come to work, and want to experience adventure, exploration, and discovery at work. They love their freedom and don’t want to clip their wings. I help them express and experience what they feel is important to them.

As a building owner, you know that a high-performing roof is a key factor in your facility’s longevity and overall efficiency. Yet, you may be surprised to learn that commercial roofing is a very different process than residential roofing. It requires a higher level of skill and expertise to ensure that your roofing system is designed and installed correctly, preventing damage and leaks over time.
From selecting the right materials for your climate to ensuring that all building regulations are followed, a Commercial Roofing project has many more challenges than a typical residential construction. In addition, different types of commercial establishments have unique requirements when it comes to roof design and installation. For example, warehouses need durable and cost-effective solutions while office buildings prioritize aesthetics. And with a growing emphasis on sustainability, energy-efficient options are becoming more popular, including green roofs and cool roofs that reflect sunlight to reduce heating and cooling.
The type of roofing material you choose will also depend on zoning laws and the building’s location. For example, if you’re located in a hail-prone zone, you’ll need a roof that can stand up to severe weather conditions. You’ll find that there are multiple systems available for different types of weather patterns, and many of them have been tested specifically for your region by Factory Mutual (FM), an insurance company that tests roofing products by firing two-inch ice balls at them.
are you familiar with the unique challenges of commercial roofing projects
Another challenge specific to Barrie Roofing is the potential for water pooling, which can lead to rot and mold growth. It’s critical to have proper drainage systems installed on your roof, which will prevent ponding water from damaging the underlying structure and causing leaks. The best way to identify these issues is by hiring an experienced team of commercial roofers who can conduct regular inspections and address any problems promptly.
Finally, accessing a commercial roof can be difficult and dangerous, which is why it’s important to hire a team of professionals who follow all industry safety protocols and have the necessary equipment. Additionally, if your building has heavy machinery and other equipment on its roof, such as air conditioning units, you’ll need to make sure that the system is able to withstand the weight of these items.
All of these challenges can be overcome with proper maintenance and the help of an experienced commercial roofing contractor like Over The Top Roofing. Contact us today to see how we can assist you with your roofing needs!
A well-maintained roof can add significant value to your commercial property, ensuring that it is an attractive and safe space for tenants and visitors. Regular inspections can also help you spot potential safety hazards, such as accumulated water or falling parts that could pose a risk of injury. Taking the time to address these safety issues promptly can reduce liability risks and protect your reputation.
MEDITACIJA se odnosi na vježbanje uma da se usredotoči i preusmjeri misli. Može se prakticirati za povećanje svijesti o sebi i svojoj okolini, samostalno ili u grupi. Također, meditacijom poboljšavamo koncentraciju i ublažavamo stres. Pojedinci meditiraju kako bi razvili navike i osjećaje poput pozitivnog raspoloženja i perspektive, samodiscipline i zdravog spavanja. Ovo su neke od nevjerojatnih prednosti meditacije.
Pomaže u promicanju emocionalnog blagostanja
Uz tjelesno, treba voditi računa i o emocionalnom zdravlju. Stres, česte brige, tjeskoba, depresija i ljutnja mogu naštetiti našem zdravlju. No, ako poboljšamo psihičko zdravlje, moći ćemo voditi zdrav život.
Prema studijama, meditacija nam može pomoći da postanemo optimistični, popravimo raspoloženje i oslobodimo se napetosti, piše HealthSite. Stoga je korisno i preporučljivo meditirati svaki dan barem 15 do 20 minuta. Prakticiranjem meditacije postat ćemo mirni i pribrani.
Pridonosi održavanju pozitivnog raspoloženja
Meditacija omogućuje da se prilagodimo svojoj unutarnjoj svijesti. Postalo je uobičajeno voditi užurbane živote i zato je potrebno uspostaviti pravu ravnotežu između posla i života. Dakle, odvajanje vremena za meditiranje može nas potaknuti da uronimo u sadašnjost i budemo svjesni stvari koje bismo mogli postići. Osjećat ćemo se dobro i na kraju ćemo biti sretni.
Može nam pomoći da povećamo fokus
Kod meditacije ključno je koncentrirati se na vlastiti um. Stoga meditiranje može pomoći da poboljšamo koncentraciju i pažnju. S lakoćom ćemo moći obaviti svaki teži zadatak te postati produktivniji i voditi dobar, zdrav život.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Pruža olakšanje od stresa
Meditacija može olakšati lateralni i medijalni prefrontalni korteks, smanjujući našu razinu stresa. Stoga, ako nas nešto opterećuje, preporučljivo je početi meditirati kako bismo se riješili stresa.
Smiruje užurbani um
Ako se želimo riješiti briga i razviti optimističan pristup životu, meditacija je odlična opcija. Zbog užurbanog života, misli su često okupirane mnogim stvarima, ali prakticiranjem meditacije moći ćemo biti pozitivni i svjesni.
Redovita praksa meditacije može unaprijediti koncentraciju, smanjiti stres te potaknuti opći osjećaj mira i ravnoteže. Integracija meditacije u svakodnevni život može biti jednostavan, ali moćan korak prema poboljšanju kvalitete života.

New Delhi, December 17: At a distillery close to New Delhi, oak barrels that were formerly used to hold wine and bourbon are stacked high with aged whisky as workers produce over 10,000 bottles of India’s single malt Indri a day, which has just been crowned the greatest whisky in the world. The distillery is surrounded by sugarcane and mustard fields rather than peat bogs. Piccadily, the owner of the two-year-old Indian brand, is increasing output and constructing a three-hole golf course to attract whisky enthusiasts and tipplers in the country.
India’s $33 billion spirits business is changing as the nation emerges as a producer of whisky as well as a consumer, thanks to its single malt whiskies. Indri Whisky Is the World’s Best Whisky: Indian Whiskey Wins ‘Best in Show Double Gold’ at Whiskies of the World Awards 2023.
Renowned international brands like France’s Pernod Ricard’s Glenlivet and Britain’s Diageo’s Talisker compete with regional competitors like Indri, Amrut, and Radico Khaitan’s Rampur for shelf space. In contrast to many Asian nations where beer accounts for the majority of alcohol sales, India is primarily a whisky-drinking country. Global recognition, rising wealth, and a wave of consumers testing out new brands while cooped up during COVID-19 all upended India’s whisky market, according to experts and industry executives.
Defying competitors from Scotland and the United States, Indri’s $421 (Rs 34,960) Diwali Collector’s Edition took home the title of “Best in Show” at the Whiskies of a World Awards blind tasting in San Francisco in August 2023. Global firms that have concentrated on single malts matured in Scotland are turning to Indian whiskies in response to the drink-India trend in order to capitalise on the growth in one of the largest whisky markets globally. India Topples France As UK’s Largest Scotch Whisky Market in Terms of Volume With 60% Hike in Imports in 2022.
Pernod uncorked its first made-in-India single malt on Wednesday, the $48 Longitude 77, accompanied by Bollywood stars and Indian music. The company intends to expand sales to Dubai and, eventually the rest of the world. Further, the biggest competitor to Pernod, Diageo, introduced Godawan, its first Indian single malt, last year. Named after a giant, endangered Indian bird, Godawan is sold in five international countries, including the US.

ADIDAS svoje korijene vuče iz razdoblja nakon Prvog svjetskog rata. Obitelj Dassler, predvođena osnivačem Adolfom (Adijem) Dasslerom, upustila se u posao proizvodnje obuće u kući njegove majke.
Kako navodi Britannica, prekretnica za njihovu tvrtku dogodila se tijekom Olimpijskih igara u Berlinu 1936., kada je američka atletičarska zvijezda Jesse Owens obula tenisice navodno poklonjene od Adija Dasslera, privlačeći međunarodnu pažnju i postavljajući pozornicu za globalno priznanje.
Poremećaji Drugog svjetskog rata predstavljali su izazove za marku, dok su Adi i njegov brat Rudolf radili na obnovi tvrtke Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik. Do 1948. osobni razdor između braće postao je nepopravljiv, što je dovelo do podjele u poslu. Rudijeva tvrtka na kraju je postala Puma, dok je Adijev pothvat postao adidas.
Upravo ova priča o nastanku dva kultna sportska brenda postala je viralna na TikToku u posljednje vrijeme. No mnogima je najinteresantnija priča o evoluciji adidasovog loga do današnjeg. Zbog toga smo odlučili sastaviti popis zanimljivih činjenica koje vjerojatno niste znali o njemu.
Tijekom prošlog stoljeća bilo je mnogo promjena u izgledu i brendiranju tvrtke. Do sredine 20. stoljeća adidasov logo počeo je poprimati oblik s identitetom sličnim današnjem.
1. Oblik slijedi funkciju
Kako piše nss magazine, izvorno Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik, onaj koji sada svi znaju kao adidas koristio je dvije trake s vanjske strane tenisica za trčanje kako bi pružio veću stabilnost i potporu stopalima tijekom utrke.
Kada se tvrtka raspala 1948. zbog tenzija koje nikada nisu prestale između dva brata Dassler, adidasu nije bilo dopušteno nastaviti koristiti dvije potporne trake, a četiri su bile previše. Logično bi bilo koristiti tri, ali to nije bilo tako jednostavno.
2. Dvije boce viskija i 1600 eura
Kad je Adi Dassler pomislio da su tri “potporne” trake najbolji način za predstavljanje njegove novonastale tvrtke, otkrio je da prava na taj logo nisu besplatna. Pripadala su jednoj tvrtki koja je proizvodila sportsku obuću, finskom Karhu, osnovanom 1916., koji je, zahvaljujući Kanyeu Westu koji ih je nosio 2017., doživio vrtoglavi porast prodaje.
No Adi nije klonuo duhom, bio je odlučan da se dočepa tog loga i dao je sve od sebe da uspije. Novorođeni adidas kupio je logo za dvije boce dobrog viskija i svotu novca koja odgovara današnjih 1600 eura.
Adidas nikada nije službeno potvrdio priču o tome kako je kupio logo.
3. Trefoil
S vremenom je adidas shvatio da je došlo vrijeme za razvoj logotipa koji odražava i modernost i pravu prirodu tvrtke te je 1972. godine – tijekom Olimpijskih igara u Berlinu – predstavljena takozvana djetelina.
Trolisni logotip trebao je prikazati raznolikost proizvoda, a istovremeno uključivati ikonične tri linije po kojima je marka brzo postala poznata. Tri lista navodno predstavljaju Sjevernu Ameriku, Europu i Aziju – tri kontinenta na kojima su se prodavale adidas tenisice.
Ovaj logo ujedno je pomogao brendu da se integrira u pop kulturu te se mogao vidjeti na popularnim glazbenicima i bendovima, kao što su The Doors, The Sex Pistols, Bob Marley i David Bowie. Djetelina s tri lista je bila prepoznatljiv simbol adidasa od 1972. do 1998. godine.
4. Evolucija Three Stripesa
Od 1998. nadalje tri pruge (ili crte) su prošle restilizaciju u ono što danas vidimo na adidasovoj obući – tri paralelne pruge. Tri pruge raspoređene su u ikonu u obliku planine koja predstavlja prepreku koju treba savladati.
5. adidas i tužbe protiv svih koji koriste sličan logo
Adidas je poznat po tome da diže tužbe protiv tvrtki koje koriste logo koji podsjeća na njihov s tri pruge. Jedan od primjera seže u 2008. godinu, kada je sud u Oregonu natjerao tvrtku Payless ShoeSource, koja se bavila prodajom obuće, da adidasu plati iznos od oko 305 milijuna dolara jer je, navodno, prodavala cipele s dvije, tri i četiri kose bočne pruge koje su bile previše slične adidasovim. Ovaj iznos se smatra najvećom presudom u slučaju zaštitnog znaka.
Sudski spor je započeo 1994. godine i prvotno je završio dogovorom prema kojem Payless više neće prodavati tenisice s kosim bočnim prugama, bez obzira na broj. Payless je zapravo prestao prodavati obuću s tri kose pruge, ali je nastavio proizvoditi i prodavati obuću s dvije ili četiri okomite i ravne pruge. Adidasu to nije dobro sjelo i uzeo je maksimalnu odštetu od 305 milijuna dolara, ali ju je naposljetku ipak smanjio na 65 milijuna.

Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne will undergo a scan after copping a blow to his finger on Pakistan’s quick Khurram Shahzad’s delivery on Saturday during Day 3 of the first Test at Perth Stadium, ESPNcricinfo reported on Saturday. During the sixth over of Australia’s second innings, Khurram Shahzad, a debuting, hit Labuschagne on the finger of his right hand with a rearing delivery that jumped off a length. Labuschagne sought medical assistance right away but returned to batting after a few minutes. Usman Khawaja Takes Spectacular Low Catch To Dismiss Faheem Ashraf on Day 3 of AUS vs PAK 1st Test 2023 (Watch Video).
Labuschagne was dismissed for 2 soon after when he top-edged a pull ball that was caught by wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed. During the telecast, Labuschagne was seen receiving care from medical personnel in Australia’s team room.
“He was with the doc and physio for the last hour just chatting through it and doing a few tests on the finger…dare say he might be pretty sore,” Australia quick Josh Hazlewood told reporters after play as ESPNcricinfo quoted.
Australia’s top order was put through its paces on an Optus Stadium pitch that became grittier as the day progressed. During a short-ball bombardment from spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi, Steve Smith took several strikes to the arm.
Smith required medical care shortly before the end of the game when an Afridi delivery grazed his forearm. However, Smith and opener Usman Khawaja survived as Australia reached stumps with a 300-run lead at 84 for 2.
Australia ended the third day at Perth having attained a massive lead of 300 against Pakistan in the ongoing first Test at the Perth Stadium on Saturday.
Pakistan were bundled out for 271 in 101.5 overs by an impressive Australian bowling attack led by Pat Cummins.

How to find the Best Electric Ovens?
Selecting the ideal electric oven requires a customised strategy to meet your culinary goals. Start by assessing your unique demands and culinary habits. Knowing your needs is essential, whether you’re a baker who wants exact temperature control or a multi-talented chef trying out different cooking methods.
Think about how big the oven is in proportion to your kitchen and how much food you usually cook. It should fit snugly and support your culinary goals without taking over the kitchen arrangement.
Examining the characteristics becomes essential. Seek features that fit your cooking style: smart connection for smooth integration into a contemporary kitchen environment, convection capabilities for uniform heat distribution, a variety of cooking modes for diversity, and programmable settings for ease of use.
Efficiency is more important than culinary skill. Look for models that are energy-efficient and help create a sustainable kitchen setting in addition to lowering utility expenses. Furthermore, give simple maintenance a priority by taking into account features like self-cleaning capabilities or detachable components for hassle-free maintenance.
In the end, the greatest electric oven fits in with your lifestyle and tastes, improving your cooking experiences and blending in smoothly with your culinary adventure. You’ll discover an oven that turns your kitchen into a sanctuary for culinary experimentation and creativity by giving top priority to features that meet your specific demands.

Impresario Handmade Restaurants, which owns premium restaurant chains like ‘Socia’l and ‘Smoke House Deli’, aims to be listed in the next two–to-three years.
According to Riyaaz Amlani, CEO and MD, Impresario, listing would primarily be aimed at unlocking growth potential”.
“In the next two-three years, we will start filing explorations going public. That is definitely an option that we are considering,” he told businessline.
Currently the largest unlisted restaurant chain in India, Social continues to be its most dominant brand for the company both in terms of revenue and presence. The 50th branch of the 10-year-old brand, Social, is being inaugurated on December 21 in Hyderabad. The restaurant chain has a presence across Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Indore and Dehradun.
Impresario also owns a cultural events space called “antiSocial” in Mumbai, Pune and Goa.
Founded by Amlani in 2001, Impresario owns and manages an umbrella of other restaurant brands like ‘Mocha’,’Salt Water Cafe’, ‘Slink & Bardot’ and ‘Souffle’. Impresario has over 65 outlets in 20 Indian cities.
In India, Barbeque Nation, Restaurant Brands Asia (parent company of Burger King), Speciality Restaurants Limited – the parent company of Mainland China and Oh! Calcutta – and Jubilant Foodworks, the master franchise for Domino’s Pizza in India, are among the few listed entities in the sector.
Fund Raise
According to documents submitted to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Impresario has, between September and November, received investments to the tune of ₹43 crore. While Kotak Mahindra Bank invested Rs 25 crore, HDFC Bank invested ₹18 crore.
Last year, IndiaRF became the majority shareholder of Impresario and L Catterton Asia exited its five-year-old investment in the restaurant chain.
When asked if the company was well funded, Amlani said, “Currently, the company is very well capitalised and under-leveraged. As we go along, we will improve those ratios (funding) a little bit, but we feel very confident that we are completely funded for the group. We also have a decent line of credit available ”
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to chair the jury for the Drum Marketing Awards for the Asia Pacific region. These prestigious awards attract hundreds of entries. For many young marketers, winning a Drum Award is a career defining moment. It was a pleasure interacting with my fellow jurors, most of them senior marketing experts from companies as diverse as Intel, Mars, AB InBev and the South China Morning Post.
Creativity at its best
As we discussed many shortlisted entries, one fact stood out. The most impactful marketing and advertising campaigns were all based on fresh creative ideas that broke through the clutter with a flourish. These were ideas that had been conjured up from a marketer’s hat. What marked out the best of the lot?
First, these winning ideas were stunning and appealing. Second, they were born from a sharp brand insight. Third, they were based on strong social or human truths. Most importantly, they did not walk the well-trodden path of sameness.
In this article, I will cover two winning ideas from the Drum Awards – one of them won the Grand Prix (which is the highest honour) and the other won the coveted Chair’s Award.
The first Digital Nation
Tuvalu, a low lying Pacific island nation, is facing an existential challenge. Because of global warming and the consequent rise in sea levels, the entire nation is likely to be submerged in a few decades. The nation faced a marketing challenge – how could it sensitise the world to this terrible truth, and appeal for even stronger action on climate change? And how can it do all this at little or no cost?
The marketing and advertising agency tasked with this exercise (The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song) came up with a brilliant solution. It started with a Minister of Tuvalu announcing at the global COP27 climate summit that the nation had a radical plan for survival, since it would soon be without land. The plan – Tuvalu would become the world’s first digital nation.
Brick by brick, road by road, Tuvalu would be re-created in the metaverse. By doing so, the nation could hope to preserve its topography, culture, records of flora and fauna, history and sovereignty, well after its real land had completely disappeared under the sea. Impactful creatives showcased this idea beautifully.
This imaginative project highlighted the risks to Tuvalu’s survival – a risk that would inevitably spread to many more nations. Most importantly, it put the focus on the dangers of climate change in a manner that had never been done before.
“The First Digital Nation” received immediate global media coverage.With a zero media budget, the launch of this project reached an amazing 2 billion people globally. It was covered by over 170 global publications. The campaign trended on TikTok and Twitter. Within a few days, COP27 announced a historic loss and damage fund for endangered nations like Tuvalu. Nine countries also agreed to recognise Tuvalu as a digital nation. A brilliant marketing campaign had successfully provoked global action.
The first Sonic Trophy
Mastercard, the global financial services company, faced a very different marketing challenge. It wanted to become far more relevant in New Zealand, and also establish emotive ties with the country. It chose to use the women’s Rugby World Cup 2021, which was being played in New Zealand, to pursue this objective.
However, rather than be yet another sports sponsor, Mastercard chose to play the game differently. It decided to design the world’s first sonic trophy, and built its entire marketing campaign around this astonishing and unusual creation. This trophy was awarded after each game to the “Player of the Match”.
The trophy was designed to contain live sounds of the match which could be activated at the touch of a button – excited voices of female spectators, frenzied energy of the entire stadium, and interesting pieces of commentary. There were 26 such trophies, one for every match, and each of them contained the sounds of that particular match. This was a “priceless” soundtrack for the proud winner of the trophy, thus dovetailing beautifully into Mastercard’s brand proposition of “priceless moments”.
Apart from technology to hold the soundtrack, the external design of the trophy was also unique – it was created with Maori fashion designer Nichola Te Kiri, and was inspired by ceremonial traditions of indigenous culture. Mastercard’s entire advertising campaign was then themed around this first ever Maori-inspired sonic trophy, thus helping the brand build a very good connect with consumers in New Zealand. The Sonic Trophy also garnered the largest share of voice during the tournament, including significant earned media.
Both these immensely successful marketing campaigns highlight a timeless marketing truth – that brilliant creative ideas are the lifeblood of great marketing.

POSTOJE mnoga bolna iskustva koja možemo doživjeti. Način na koji toleriramo bol je različit, ali postoji jedna bol za koju se kaže da je najgora koju čovjek može proživjeti.
Profesor hitne medicine i docent kirurgije na Sveučilištu Utah gostovao je u podcastu Who Cares About Men’s Health? te je otkrio da je svjedočio brojnim slučajevima u kojima su pacijenti doživjeli to užasno iskustvo.
“Ne znam jesam li ikada vidio nekoga tko ima jače bolove od osobe koja je došla na hitnu zbog bubrežnih kamenaca. Ljudi se grče, jednostavno se vidi da doživljavaju nevjerojatnu bol”, rekao je.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Bubrežni kamenci prilično su česta pojava. Nastaju uslijed visoke koncentracije soli i drugih minerala u bubrežnim kanalima. S vremenom se mogu oblikovati cjeline koje su veličine zrna pijeska ili sitnog šljunka, ali i kamen većih dimenzija. Izbacuju se urinom, a jedna studija iz 2017. potvrdila je da je riječ o stanju koje je gore od porođaja. Čak 63.3 posto žena koje su imale bubrežni kamenac i rodile reklo je da je prvo “sto puta gore”.
S druge strane, muškarci koji su iskusili udarac u testise i bubrežne kamence također potvrđuju da je drugo puno bolnije.
“Zamislite da morate pomokriti žilete. To znači imati bubrežni kamenac”, “Da sam mogao birati, dobrovoljno bih stao u red da me udare u testise. Toliko je gore imati bubrežne kamence”, neki su od komentara na ovu temu na Redditu.

HERO je simpatična kujica labradora retrivera kojoj je vlasnik odlučio dati uranjeni poklon za Božić, no stvari nisu išle onako kako je vlasnik zamislio. Naime, vlasnik je pod bor stavio kutiju u kojoj se nalazilo štene, a Hero je počela njuškati. Kad je gurnula poklopac i ponjušila štene, puhnula je i udaljila se, a njezin potez nasmijao je mnoge.

“Hvala, ali ne, hvala”, stoji u opisu videa koji je pregledan gotovo 11 tisuća puta, a vlasnik je otkrio kako je kujica kasnije ignorirala štene.
Srećom, kujica je nakon nekog vremena prihvatila štene i vlasnik kaže kako su sada najbolji prijatelji.

Hardik Pandya taking over as Mumbai Indians’ captain for IPL 2024 made the headlines a day ago. The five-time IPL-winning franchise announced the all-rounder’s appointment as new captain going ahead into IPL 2024 with him replacing Rohit Sharma, one of the greats in IPL history, as skipper. Pandya had earlier made a big money move to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans, a franchise that he had led to the IPL title in their debut year in 2022 and it had been speculated that he would sooner or later, take over the mantle of captaincy from Sharma. Several fans on social media were surprised that it happened before the 2024 season. But the latest developments have revealed that Rohit Sharma was informed about this decision even before the 2023 World Cup. Ritika Sajdeh Drops ‘Yellow Heart’ As Comment on CSK’s Tribute Video for Rohit Sharma After Mumbai Indians Announce Hardik Pandya As Captain for IPL 2024.
According to a report in The Indian Express, the franchise had discussions with Rohit Sharma where he was informed about this decision to have Hardik Pandya as the skipper going ahead. Rohit, as the report states, agreed to it and left the decision in the hands of the team management. The report also adds that Pandya had only agreed to return to Mumbai Indians if he was named captain. The five-time IPL winners traded Pandya from Gujarat Titans in one of the biggest moves of the IPL trade window. Rohit Sharma Fan Burns Mumbai Indians Jersey After Hardik Pandya Was Named As MI Captain for IPL 2024 (Watch Video).
Rohit Sharma took up captaincy of the Mumbai Indians team back in 2013 and has led the outfit to five IPL championships. It was not just his leadership skills for Mumbai Indians that stood out but also his ability to nurture and provide room for talented players like Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Varma and many others to grow, which will remain one of his biggest contributions to the franchise.

“Friends” actor Matthew Perry died from an accidental ketamine overdose, medical examiners said Friday, concluding their investigation into the death of the beloved but troubled TV star.
Perry, who played Chandler Bing on the hit TV sitcom from 1994-2004, died at the age of 54, having been found unconscious in a swimming pool at his house in Los Angeles in October.
He had struggled for decades with addiction to drugs, including ketamine, and related serious health issues, but had reportedly been clean for 19 months prior to his passing.
“Matthew Perry’s cause of death is determined to be from the acute effects of ketamine,” the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office said in a statement.
“Contributory factors in his death include drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects. The manner of death is accident. ”
Ketamine is illegally used as a recreational drug for its numbing and hallucinogenic effects.
The drug can also be used by doctors as an anesthetic, and researchers are exploring its use as a mental health treatment.
Perry wrote in his memoirs of how he had relied on using ketamine daily at points during his battles with addiction. He said the drug eased his pain and helped with depression.
“Has my name written all over it — they might as well have called it ‘Matty,'” he wrote, of ketamine.
“Taking K is like being hit in the head with a giant happy shovel. But the hangover was rough and outweighed the shovel,” explained Perry.
‘The Big Terrible Thing’
“Friends,” which followed the lives of six New Yorkers navigating adulthood, dating and careers, drew a massive global following.
But even as he delivered on-air gag after gag — and earned a fortune — Perry was struggling.
He attended multiple rehabilitation clinics to combat addiction to painkillers and alcohol. In 2018 he suffered a burst colon, related to drug usage, and underwent multiple surgeries.
In his memoir “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,” published last year, Perry described going through detox dozens of times. He dedicated the book to “all of the sufferers out there,” and wrote in the prologue: “I should be dead.”

“I have mostly been sober since 2001,” he wrote, “save for about sixty or seventy little mishaps over the years.”
The examiner’s report does not specify how or when Perry had consumed the fatal dose of ketamine.
But it found that trace amounts were detected in his stomach, and that prescription medications and loose pills were present at his home.
Perry was undergoing medical treatment involving ketamine — but his most recent known infusion was more than a week before his death, meaning that dose would no longer have been in his system.
The examiner’s report says the levels of ketamine in Perry’s blood were comparable to higher-range levels used as general anesthetic in surgeries, and would cause overstimulation of the heart and problems breathing.
This could have caused Perry to lapse into unconsciousness, with drowning then becoming a contributory cause of death.
Perry’s coronary artery disease, and his use of buprenorphine to treat severe pain, would have made him more vulnerable to the effects of ketamine, the report finds.
No alcohol was detected in his system by the autopsy report. Nor were there any traces of other drugs such as cocaine, heroin or fentanyl.
‘The 6 of us’
Perry’s sudden passing in October drew shocked reactions from Hollywood A-listers, his co-stars, and “Friends” fans worldwide.
“Oh boy this one has cut deep,” said Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel on the show about six close-knit friends navigating adult life in New York.

“He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be,” she wrote on Instagram.
“The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life,” wrote Matt LeBlanc, who played Perry’s roommate and best friend on the show.

Nilesh Shah, Managing Director, Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company, said many investors waiting for a steep fall in the market to restart equity investment were disappointed with the relentless rally and paid a high price.
Market volatility and SIPs
Retail investors are using the SIP route to tap the equity market to battle the concern of higher valuation. This is one of the reasons why there has been a steady increase in SIP inflows, he added.
The total number of SIP accounts has jumped 23 per cent to a record high of 7.44 crore against 6.05 crore in the same period last year.

With about 95 per cent of the SIP investment pouring into equity, the share of SIP at ₹9,058 crore increased to 33 per cent of gross equity sales from 27 per cent in October.
Melvyn Santarita, Analyst, Morningstar Investment Research India, said while both the mid- and the small-cap categories have the potential to deliver good returns, these categories inherently are volatile with sharp drawdown risks.
Investors should opt to invest in these categories through the SIP route to ride the volatility, he added.

Gopal Kavalireddi, Vice President of Research at FYERS said with elections around the corner and expectations of better FII flows in stock markets, equities could continue to rally, with minor intermittent profit booking.
Taking advantage of the market buoyancy, 6 out of the 14 NFOs launched by AMCs were equity-oriented, raising ₹1,907 crore of the overall ₹2,583 crore funds mobilised.
The Air India rebranding grabbed the limelight. But yet another company that rebranded in August was the young start-up Bombay Shaving Company, which started as a D2C brand seven years ago.
It has done a dramatic cut of the word ‘company’ by cleaving it diagonally.
The reasons for the rebranding were laid out in a LinkedIn post by its founder, Shantanu Deshpande, who said that the old razor + wings logo worked great on a mobile screen. It was sophisticated and minimal. “But today, we are in almost 70k stores. The brand had to have shelf throw in a competitive retail shelf. Had to be bigger, bolder, sharper,” he explained.
“Also, we’re challenging the market with a bold launch in razors — the Chakravyuh of Men’s Grooming. Our brand had to live up,” he wrote.
Although the name of the firm was Bombay Shaving Company, people only referred to it as Bombay Shaving. “People didn’t really say Company. But it was an important suffix. It made us complete. Shaving through it was a smart way to make the brand attractive,” says Deshpande.
Self mutilation is also another way of identifying with the young, who often go in for tattoos and piercings. “Our cut of the Company is our identity now. It defines who we are. It makes us, us,” concludes Deshpande.
VEĆINI ljudi poznata je činjenica da naše tijelo ponekad ispušta zvukove. Nekad si ih možemo objasniti, ali nekad to nije slučaj pa sami sebe zabrinemo je li sve u redu.
Primjerice, svima nam je poznato i normalno kad čujemo kruljenje u trbuhu jer ga povezujemo s gladi. No, što je, primjerice, s pucketanjem u vratu, šuštanjem u ušima ili pucketanjem u vratu? Odgovore na ta i slična pitanja donio je portal Best Health, koji je opisao osam najčešćih zvukova koje naše tijelo ispušta i što ti zvukovi zapravo znače.
Kruljenje u trbuhu
Neobičan zvuk koji čujete nakon obroka samo je rezultat zraka i tekućine koji se kreću kroz probavni trakt. U drugom slučaju, ako čujete kruljenje na prazan želudac, vaša crijeva možda čiste ostatke hrane i tekućine od prijašnjih obroka ili ukazuju na to da biste trebali nešto pojesti.
No, ako su zvukovi iz trbuha praćeni grčevima, boli ili mučninom, ali ne i pražnjenjem crijeva, svakako potražite liječničku pomoć.
Čudan zvuk disanja tijekom vježbanja
Ako ste tijekom istezanja ili vježbanja joge čuli zvuk koji je izlazio iz usta dok ste disali, ne morate brinuti jer se radi o potpuno normalnoj tjelesnoj reakciji. U određenim pozama dišni se putevi sužavaju, a prolazak zraka kroz njih proizvodi drugačiji zvuk od normalnog disanja.
Trebate se zabrinuti samo ako sličan zvuk i otežano disanje čujete dok mirujete ili ste u uspravnom položaju. U tom slučaju svakako je korisno posjetiti liječnika i provjeriti da se ne radi o alergijama ili nekim drugim težim stanjima.
Pucketanje u vratu
Kada okrećete glavu te osjetite i čujete pucketanje u vratu, možda ćete pomisliti da nešto nije u redu, ali to je sasvim normalna pojava. Vrat se sastoji od više zglobova, a svaki od njih je ispunjen tekućinom i ovojnicom. Pritisak na tekućinu opada savijanjem tih zglobova te dolazi do opuštanja sitnih mjehurića zraka koje onda čujete dok pomičete vratom.
Iako je ovaj zvuk u većini slučajeva sasvim normalan, ako počnete osjećati bol koja se počinje širiti niz ruke, trebali biste posjetiti liječnika jer možda patite od poremećaja živaca, prenosi Best Health.

Šuštanje u ušima
Ako ste imali dug i naporan dan, moguće je da ćete, kad glavu položite na jastuk, čuti zvuk u ušima. Taj neobičan zvuk je zvuk krvi koja prolazi kroz vratne žile koje se nalaze iza uha, a čujemo ga jer jastuk blokira vanjsku buku. No, ako šuštanje u ušima čujete i dok ne ležite, za to bi mogle biti krive alergije ili infekcije, piše Best Health.
Vaginalni vjetar
Vaginalni vjetar, poznat i kao queef, označava ispuštanje zračnog mjehura iz vagine. Najčešće se događa tijekom tjelovježbe ili penetrativnog seksa, kada u vagini ostane nešto zraka koji se izbacuje uz zvuk sličan vjetrovima iz crijeva. Možda ste se nekada uplašili kada ste čuli ove zvukove, ali oni su uobičajeni i ne uzrokuju nikakve štetne ili opasne posljedice.
Zvonjava u glavi
Svatko od nas barem je jednom u životu osjetio zvonjavu u glavi, zvuk koji nije nimalo ugodan i često nas uplaši. Vrlo glasna buka, infekcije i starenje mogu oštetiti dlačice u uhu, što stimulira pužnicu da šalje signale u mozgu čak i kad nema zvuka, piše Best Health.
Ovaj problem se u većini slučajeva riješi sam od sebe, ali ako zvuk traje više dana ili počnete osjećati bol, svakako potražite savjet liječnika.
Pucketanje u ramenu
Ako vam rame ispušta neobične zvukove kada pokušavate dosegnuti nešto s ormara ili police, možda se samo radi o upaljenom zglobu. Ponavljajući pokreti pružanja ruke iznad glave mogu dovesti do upale burze, male vrećice ispunjene tekućinom koja se nalazi u ramenu, što rezultira pucketanjem.
Pištanje u nosu
Piskutavi zvukovi iz nosa mogu biti prava gnjavaža, posebno ako se počnu javljati prije spavanja. Pištanje u nosu obično je znak opstrukcije protoka zraka, što može značiti da višak sluzi prekriva nosne prolaze. U ovom slučaju često mogu pomoći dekongestivi za prehladu ili antihistaminici za alergije koji pročišćavaju nosne prolaze.

IZ GRADA Makarske objavili su da neće organizirati vatromet za doček Nove godine.
“Ponosni smo što je i grad Makarska postao jedan od gradova koji u Novu godinu ulazi bez buke i vatrometa! Iako smo sigurni da će jednom dijelu građana nedostajati uobičajeni novogodišnji vatromet, prije dvadesetak dana donijeli smo konačnu odluku da ćemo od ove godine biti na strani kućnih ljubimaca, ptica i ostalih životinja kojima najluđa noć u godini postane najstresnija”, napisali su na službenoj Facebook stranici grada.

MNOGI koji imaju sušilicu vjerojatno su se nekada našli u situaciji da im se posteljina koju su sušili zapetljala i pretvorila u ogroman čvor ili kuglu koja je pritom “pojela” sve druge manje komade. Naravno, zbog te situacije nije se ni osušila kako spada, kao ni pojedini komadi odjeće ako su se sušili s njom. Doduše, nije to slučaj samo s posteljinom, ovo se zna događati i s jastučnicama, trenirkama i drugim komadima.
Ako je ovo previše poznat scenarij u vašoj kući, ovi jednostavni trikovi mogli bi pomoći da oslobodite svoje rublje petljanja, piše Good Housekeeping.
1. Protresite je
Većina izvuče hrpu rublja iz perilice i prebaci ga u sušilicu bez imalo razmišljanja, ali to bi moglo pridonijeti problemu. Naime, netom izvučeno rublje već može biti uvrnuto, zgužvano ili zapetljano prije nego što se uopće krene sušiti u sušilici. Zato, najbolje je svaki predmet protresti prilikom prebacivanja iz perilice u sušilicu.
2. Koristite loptice za sušenje
Loptice (ili kuglice) za sušilicu mogu pomoći u odvajanju rublja i omogućiti cirkuliranje zraka u sušilici, tako da mogu imati dodatnu prednost ubrzavanja vremena sušenja, uštede električne energije i u konačnici novca.
3. Nemojte pretrpati svoju sušilicu
Oduprite se želji da natrpate što je više moguće stvari u sušilicu rublja. Ako vaša posteljina nema dovoljno prostora za kretanje unutar bubnja, veća je vjerojatnost da će se zapetljati i zgužvati. Umjesto toga, podijelite ono što je potrebno sušiti i stavite u sušilicu u dva navrata.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Isprva se to može činiti većim naporom, ali dugoročno gledano uštedjet ćete vrijeme ako se svako punjenje učinkovito suši i ne morate rastavljati poluvlažne plahte zapetljane suhim komadima.
4. Zakopčajte navlake za poplune
Navlake za poplun poznate su po “gutanju” drugih komada odjeće ili npr. jastučnica koje se s njima suše kroz nezakopčan rub. Ako vaša ima gumbe ili zip, zakopčajte ih, odnosno zazipajte i izbjegnite ovaj scenarij.
5. Pomiješajte
Sušenje posteljine u mješovitim serijama s težim tekstilom kao što su ručnici za kupanje može spriječiti njeno skupljanje u kugle, ili petljanje, u sušilici.
6. Sušite manje predmete zajedno
Pokušajte zajedno oprati i osušiti sav svoj mali kućanski tekstil – na primjer ručnike, jastučnice i kuhinjske krpe – zatim zajedno operite i osušite navlake za poplune i velike plahte. To može spriječiti velike predmete da “progutaju” one manje.
Dodatan savjet: Prilikom kupnje iduće sušilice, obratite pažnju na one modele koji imaju tehnologiju dvosmjerne rotacije bubnja te se smjer istoga redovito mijenja prilikom sušenja što posljedično znači manje petljanja i gužvanja. Izdvojili smo par modela niže.

The Indian men’s hockey team began its 5-Nation Tournament on a disappointing note, losing 0-1 to lower ranked Spain here on Friday. Alvaro Iglesias scored the only goal of the match in the 29th minute. The Indian team, which has qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics after winning gold at the Hangzhou Asian Games, is ranked third in the world while Spain is eighth. FIH Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup 2023: India Need To Pull Up Their Socks Against Spain in Bronze-Medal Match.
Before Friday, India and Spain had played against each other twice this year and the result had been even. India beat Spain in a World Cup group match in January while the European side was victorious in a tournament at home in July. The first quarter of the match saw both the teams earn a penalty corner each but neither managed to find the back of the net.
Spain took the initiative in the second quarter, forcing a penalty corner save from Indian custodian Krishan Pathak. The pressure was telling as India received a green card and Spain immediately pounced on the opportunity. Alvaro Iglesias breached India’s defence and scored the goal that gave Spain the lead.
The third quarter witnessed both teams in an intense battle to score the next goal but they were unable to break their opponents’ tight defence.
India turned up the heat in the last quarter in the search of an equaliser, earning two penalty corners. However, they were unable to convert both the set-piece chances and the match ended in Spain’s favour. India Suffer Heartbreaking 1–4 Loss to Germany in FIH Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup 2023.
The Indian team will battle against reigning Olympic champions Belgium on Saturday. The five teams will play each other once and the side finishing on top of the points table after all the matches will be the winner of the tournament.

SpaceX said it was targeting Thursday, December 28 for the launch of the US military’s X-37B robot spaceplane on its seventh mission to orbit.
“Now targeting no earlier than Thursday, December 28 for Falcon Heavy to launch USSF-52 to orbit from Florida,” SpaceX said in a post on X on Friday, after it stood down on the launch earlier this week to perform additional system checkouts.
The original plan to send the spacecraft to orbit late on Sunday was scrubbed due to poor weather conditions at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

LOS ANGELES: Acclaimed South Korean director Park Chan-wook, known for films such as “Oldboy” and “The Handmaiden”, is headed to Netflix for his maiden project with the streamer titled “War and Revolt”.
The award-winning filmmaker will co-write and produce “War and Revolt”, a period thriller following the lives of two childhood friends-turned-adversaries during Korea’s Joseon dynasty.
According to entertainment website The Hollywood Reporter, Kim Sang-man of “Midnight FM” fame will direct the upcoming movie.
The Korean-language feature film stars Gang Dong-won (“Broker”, “Peninsula”) and Park Jeong-min (“Deliver Us from Evil”, “Bleak Night”) in the lead.
Gang will play the enigmatic Cheon-young, a character whose remarkable martial prowess defies his humble origins as a slave, and Park Jeong-min will essay the role of Jong-ryeo, Cheon-young’s former master and scion of Joseon’s most influential military family.
After passing the military service exam, Jong-ryeo becomes King Seonjo’s personal guard, leading to a heart-wrenching reunion with his former friend.
“Struggling to break free from the chains of servitude, Cheon-young will be brought to life by Gang’s extraordinary talent, exuding charm and delivering breathtaking action sequences that will leave audiences in awe…”Park’s portrayal is expected to be nothing short of mesmerizing, as he delves deep into the complex psyche of a man torn between friendship and duty, ultimately facing his own downfall,” Netflix said in a press release.
“War and Revolt” also stars Cha Seung-won (Korean drama “Our Blues”) as King Seonjo, a monarch who abandons his people at the onset of the Japanese invasion, only to seek redemption by restoring his royal authority after the war; “Hellbound” actor Kim Shin-rok as the resolute Bumdong, a member of the civilian militia; Jin Seon-kyu of “The Outlaws” fame as Kim Ja-ryeong, a civilian militia leader; and “The Glory” star Jung Sung-il as the intimidating Japanese warlord Genshin, a mentor to Gang’s Cheon-young.
The film is produced by Moho Film, the Korean banner behind Park Chan-wook’s last release “Decision to Leave” and “The Handmaiden”, in collaboration with Semicolon Studio.
Park Chan-wook’s next project as a director is the HBO miniseries “The Sympathizer”, starring Robert Downey Jr in multiple roles.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — We went down to ECD Auto Design to drive its brand-new Jaguar E-Type restomod, but the folks there didn’t let us leave without enjoying another treat from its bread-and-butter business: a Land Rover Defender. “ECD” used to stand for East Coast Defender, but that’s been modified to ECD Auto Design since the company produces both Range Rover Classics and Jaguar E-Types. We’ve driven the various Defender and Range Rover builds before, but it’s been a few years, so it’s time for a refresher.
Specifically, we hopped into a Land Rover Defender 110 (four-door) Soft Top fitted with GM’s LT4 supercharged V8. For the uninitiated, that’s the same engine that’s under the hood of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, previous-gen Corvette Z06 and much more. To say that it’s a lot of horsepower for the original Defender, what was essentially a farm vehicle, is an understatement. If you manage to get the throttle all the way to the floor without crying uncle, that’s worthy of some commendation. For the less power-hungry, ECD will sell you Defenders with lots of other powertrains ranging from less powerful V8s to a diesel and even an all-electric version. The LT4-equipped version we drove is the most ridiculous of them all.
The sound of the supercharger and utterly rocking exhaust is otherworldly coming from this type of vehicle. In the same way that a Jeep Wrangler 392 feels like it shouldn’t exist, this Defender takes it even further. Its steering is slow and unreactive like you’d expect, but thanks to the four-wheel-drive system, it manages to put the power down without completely overwhelming the all-terrain tires. Its suspension is similarly well-equipped to handle all that extra power, as ECD uses air suspension paired with Fox shocks for the best possible ride. The compliance and comfort over poor roads is shockingly well sorted, to the point that you could drive around with the car regularly and not feel beat up.
The chassis, roof and some of its original (but restored) running gear is almost all that’s left over from what this Defender started out life as. ECD imports seven to eight Defenders from the United Kingdom every month before completely stripping them and turning them into absolute beasts. And while you might get a modern infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and other modern amenities, you still get the charm – or flaws – of the Defender. The steering wheel is not even remotely lined up with your natural seating position. Its pedals create an awkward leg arrangement, and when it comes to NVH … we’re afraid that department didn’t show up to work.
The price for such a build is nearly as extravagant as the E-Type, with the 110 Soft Top starting at $249,995. A two-door 90 is slightly cheaper, while the 130 pickup is more expensive. Of course, adding an LT4 and all the suspension and appearance bits you see in the pictures above only adds to the price.
We sat down with some folks from ECD to build a Defender of our own, and the ability to customize every last bit of the vehicle is truly astounding. Every single project is one-of-one, Wallace remarked on several occasions. One buyer even chose a specific herd of cattle in Italy they liked the color of for the upholstery in their Defender – ECD tells us it was a $70,000 add-on to the final price.
Even if someone wants to make a copy of someone else’s build, the company won’t let them because every single vehicle that rolls away is required to be unique. It’s an ethos that has served the company well through the Land Rover days and now into the Jaguar E-Type project. What comes next is still anyone’s guess, but Wallace tells us there’s more in the future than just old British cars, as he hints at Porsche, American muscle and more. We’ll just have to wait and see, but one thing’s for sure, the Defenders are never going away.
In Q2-FY24, CESC exhibited consistent financial performance. Revenue from operations surged to ₹4,352 crore, marking an 11.2 per cent y-o-y increase and a 1 per cent q-o-q rise, primarily attributed to an uptick in average tariffs and a resurgence in demand following the recovery in Q1-FY24. EBITDA reached ₹646 crore, soaring by 31.8 per cent y-o-y but experiencing a 10.8 per cent decrease q-o-q.
EBITDA margins strengthened to 14.8 per cent y-o-y, a 230 bps increase, driven by reduced energy consumption costs. However, the cost of energy consumed increased on a quarterly basis, causing a 200 basis points decline, mainly due to the escalation in coal prices.

The reported PAT reached ₹363 crore, demonstrating a robust 13.8 per cent y-o-y rise and a marginal 1.4 per cent decrease from the preceding quarter. It is anticipated that the PAT margins will be maintained owing to the industry’sstable earnings model.
We uphold our Buy recommendation for CESC, with a revised target price of ₹151. This adjustment is based on a P/B ratio of 1.5x, leveraging the projected BVPS of ₹100.8 (FY25E).
Additionally, a strong demand in the power sector, attributed to substantial advancements in industrial and economic activities, has led to a rebound in Q1-FY24.
The Ministry of Tourism has launched an ambitious wedding tourism campaign, with the aim of tapping into the immense potential of the country’s wedding industry.
The campaign is aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Developing Tourism in Mission Mode” and seeks to position India as a top-tier wedding destination globally, the Ministry of Tourism said in a press statement.
The campaign was unveiled by G Kishan Reddy, Union Minister for Culture and Tourism, who emphasised that the campaign’s comprehensive approach will ensure that every step of a couple’s wedding journey, from the initial greeting to the final vows, reflects India’s warmth and cultural heritage.
360-degree strategy
The campaign is built on a 360-degree strategy that combines digital marketing, social media campaigns, partnerships with wedding planners, collaborations with influencers and both offline and online activations. By doing so, it aims to reshape the perception of India’s wedding offerings beyond just extravagant and royal ceremonies.
The thematic focus spans diverse wedding themes, from beach and nature weddings to royal and Himalayan weddings, allowing the couple to customise their dream celebration in captivating settings.
A significant highlight of the campaign is its collaborative approach, developed in consultation with industry experts, associations and experienced wedding planners. Their input has helped shape a narrative that highlights India’s allure as a wedding tourism destination, showcasing its cultural richness and diverse offerings.
Fusion of traditions
With an initial focus on 25 key destinations across the country, the campaign aims to weave together the tapestry of India’s ancient heritage and modern elegance. It emphasises the fusion of traditions, values and joy that India offers, creating an appealing narrative for couples worldwide.
Industry professionals like Samit Garg, President of EEMA (Event and Entertainment Management Association), expressed their appreciation for the initiative. The campaign’s strategy involves collaborations with these experts to bring Prime Minister Modi’s vision to life.
The “Incredible India” wedding tourism campaign is set to showcase the beauty and diversity of India as a prime wedding destination globally. By leveraging a comprehensive strategy and a thematic focus on various wedding types, India aims to attract couples from around the world, thereby boosting the growth of both the wedding industry and the overall tourism sector in the country. The campaign marks the beginning of a strategic effort to position India as a premier choice for couple seeking an exceptional wedding experience that combines tradition and modernity in the backdrop of India’s cultural riches.
NOVO istraživanje pokazalo je da ljudi s nepravilnim obrascima spavanja mogu imati visok rizik od razvoja demencije.
Istraživanje objavljeno u časopisu Neurology otkrilo je da su redovitost spavanja osobe, odnosno odlazak na spavanje i buđenje u isto vrijeme svaki dan, važni čimbenici kod smanjenja rizika razvoja demencije kod ljudi, prenosi The Independent.
Znanstvenici su procijenili zdravstvene podatke više od 88 tisuća ljudi u Velikoj Britaniji, prosječne dobi od 62 godine, prateći ih u prosjeku sedam godina. Izračunali su redovitost spavanja ispitanika na temelju podataka s uređaja na zapešću koje su sudionici nosili i koji je mjerio njihov ciklus spavanja otprilike tjedan dana.

Procijenili su vjerojatnost da će sudionici biti u istom stanju sna u bilo koje dvije vremenske točke u razmaku od 24 sata, u prosjeku tijekom sedam dana. Sudionici koji su spavali i budili se u isto vrijeme svaki dan, imali su indeks pravilnosti spavanja 100, dok su oni koji su spavali i budili se u različito vrijeme, imali rezultat nula, prenosi The Independent.
Oko 480 ljudi, koje su znanstvenici pratili unazad sedam godina koliko je trajalo istraživanje, razvilo je demenciju. Ispitujući vezu između rezultata redovitosti spavanja i rizika od demencije, istraživanje je otkrilo da je rizik od neurološkog stanja najveći za one koji spavaju najmanje redovito.
“Na temelju naših otkrića, ljudi s neredovitim spavanjem možda trebaju samo poboljšati tu redovitost kako bi spriječili demenciju”, istaknuo je dr. Matthew Pase sa Sveučilišta Monash u Australiji, koji je sudjelovao u istraživanju, piše The Independent.

VLASNICA kujice haskija po imenu Kakoa odlučila je pripremiti za svoju ljubimicu jednu blagdansku verziju igre skrivača pa se prerušila u božićno drvce i čekala da je kujica pronađe.
Prislonila se na zid, a Kakoa ju je krenula mahnito tražiti, no prošla je pored nje ne obazirući se dok je jurila i njuškala po kući. Tek kad je ponjušila “poklon”, odnosno noge vlasnice, prepoznala je njezin miris pa oduševljeno počela skakati.

DIZAJNERI interijera su za House Beautiful otkrili glavne trendove koje ćemo viđati iduće godine kada je u pitanju uređenje dnevnog boravka. Prema informacijama koje su dobili od stručnjaka za uređenje, čini se da će iduće godine dnevni boravci prigrliti tamnije nijanse – šljiva, ljubičasta, boja vina i tamnosmeđa su neke od boja koje će biti u trendu. Također, vraćaju se i baršun te zaobljeni namještaj.
Šef dizajna Sixpennyja Rob Natale kaže: “Neutralne boje ne idu nikamo, nemojte me krivo shvatiti, ali mislim da ćemo vidjeti više eksperimentiranja s odvažnim bojama i tkaninama.”
Prema dizajnerici Kerri Pilchik, dnevne sobe postaju ugodnije s raskošnim tkaninama, zasićenim bojama i mješavinom materijala. Također, postaju višenamjenske i manje formalne, s područjima namijenjenima igrama, izležavanju, domaćim zadaćama i koktelima s prijateljima.
Niže možete vidjeti pregled svih trendova za 2024. kada je u pitanju uređenje dnevnog boravka.
Višenamjenske zone
Dnevni boravci postat će mjesta koja okupljaju više zona u jednoj prostoriji. Tako dnevni boravak može postati i prostorija za sjedenje i opuštanje, ali ujedno imati i zonu za radni kutak, kao i onu za igranje.
Ručno oslikani murali
“Ručno oslikani murali zamjenjuju tapete i popularne gipsane i vapnene izglede u nekim slučajevima”, kaže Leah Alexander.
Zemljani tonovi
Neutralni tonovi ne idu nigdje, ali događa se pomak od bijelih i sivih tonova prema onima zemljanima. “Udaljavamo se od svijetlih bijelih i sivih prema više krem, smeđim, hrđastim i prigušenim zelenim”, kaže Alexis Pew iz Kaminski + Pew studija.
Minimalistički tlocrti
2024. bit će godina strateških tlocrta i rasporeda namještaja. “Predviđam da će se tlocrti promijeniti kako bi uključili manje nereda i nepotrebnih predmeta koji se uvode u prostore”, kaže dizajnerica Hilary Matt. “Umjesto da cijelu sobu ispunite komadima namještaja, detaljno isplanirajte razmak i mjesto na koje se komadi postavljaju.”

Statement rasvjeta
Leah Alexander kaže da će u 2024. godini rasvjeta imati “svoju najbolju godinu do sada s hrabrijim izborom rasvjetnih tijela i sve inovativnijim tehnikama puhanog stakla, svjetiljkama poput dragulja i organskim oblicima”.
Maksimalistički zamah
Tara McCauley primijetila je odmak od bezbojne estetike koja je stekla popularnost prijašnjih godina i kaže da će maksimalizam postati još veći trend u 2024. Prema njoj, prilikom uređenja doma ne treba se fokusirati na eventualnu kasniju prodaju i da dizajnom zadovoljite svačiji ukus.
Ističe da prostor treba biti dizajniran tako da “vas čini sretnim dok u njemu živite”. “Vidjela sam puno više boja, tekstura i slojeva u protekloj godini – potražnja definitivno postoji”, istaknula je.
Prigušene palete boja
Suprotno uvriježenom mišljenju, tamne boje ne smanjuju veličinu vaše sobe. Naprotiv, mogu stvoriti iluziju golemog prostora ako se pravilno izvede. S obzirom na to, nemojte se bojati uvesti u svoj dnevni boravak nijanse šljive, crne, tamnoplave, bordo ili sive. Sve će one biti u trendu iduće godine.
Engleska seoska estetika
Šarmantna i topla atmosfera engleske seoske estetike probija se u sve više interijera izvan Engleske. Ona podrazumijeva kremastu paletu nijansi pomiješanu s namještajem s motivima i drugim ugodnim elementima koji vas pozivaju na ostanak i uživanje.
Uz ove komade unesite neke od ovih trendova u vaš dom
Niže smo izdvojili nekoliko komada s kojima možete unijeti ove trendove u vaš dom. Izdvojili smo baršunastu sofu u tamnoplavoj boji i zaobljenih rubova. Tapecirani naslonjač s rukohvatima od orahovine za unos zemljanih, ali elegantnih komada u prostor.
Izdvojili smo i visilicu koja će zasigurno privlačiti pažnju u vašem dnevnom boravku, ali i radni stol ako poželite stvoriti poseban kutak za rad u njemu i učiniti ga višenamjenskim.

We had earlier reported that Zack Snyder is working on an epic space opera film titled Rebel Moon. Netflix has now released the first look poster of the film which is slated to release on December 22.
The film is based on a screenplay that Snyder co-wrote with Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad. It is inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s film Seven Samurai, and is scheduled to release in two parts.
Netflix has produced the film in collaboration with Grand Electric along with Zack Snyder and his wife Deborah Snyder’s production house The Stone Quarry. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Ray Fisher, Djimon Hounsou, Jena Malone, Corey Stoll, Ed Skrein, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee, Cary Elwes, and Anthony Hopkins.
The official synopsis of Rebel Moon says, “A peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy is threatened by the armies of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius. The desperate civilians dispatch Kora, a young woman who has a mysterious past to seek out warriors from nearby planets to help them challenge the regent.”
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — If you’ve ever dipped a toe into the restomod world before, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the Florida-based company ECD. Originally known as East Coast Defender for the company’s earliest efforts restomodding Land Rover Defenders, it’s now just “ECD Auto Design.” That’s because there’s a whole lot more than just Defenders being cranked out of the workshop these days.
And while we’ve already driven its Land Rover offerings in the Defender and Range Rover Classic, today it’s time to take the company’s latest creation for a spin: the ECD Jaguar E-Type. ECD announced its foray into the E-Type world about a year and a half ago, and by the time we showed up, it’d already produced seven restored and/or heavily modified E-Types.
Before we get too far into first impressions, though, some history. The E-Type, formally known as the XK-E here in the states, was produced between 1961 and 1974. It was a bombshell of a sports car when new, touting impressive performance for a solid price from both its inline-six and V12 engines. Jaguar went through three main iterations of the XK-E before wrapping up sales here: Series I, Series II and Series III. And while ECD has restored a Series I, it’s focusing on the more widely available (and more affordable) Series II cars for this project. The E-Type was available as a coupe or convertible, and while ECD is allowing you to stick with either of the original powertrains for restoration builds, it’s also offering some rather tempting swaps.
If there’s something you should know about ECD, it’s that this company loves a good American V8. You’ll find an LS- or LT-based General Motors V8 in most of its Defender builds, and that’s exactly what ECD is offering in the E-Type, too. GM’s 450-horsepower LT1 can be plopped under the long hood of the E-Type should you want to turn it into a tire-destroying muscle machine. On the other end of the spectrum is an electric conversion option, which is the E-Type variant we got to drive.
Before you scream “sacrilege!” we won’t bury the lede on this one: An all-electric E-Type is actually a hoot to drive. Admittedly, what makes it fun to drive is also what makes other modern-day sports cars fun to drive. It’s lightweight at just 2,940 pounds (that’s 60 pounds less than the V8-powered version), features a 51/49 weight balance, has a 305-horsepower motor doling out power solely to the rear wheels … and you can take the roof off! Today’s EVs, even the smaller ones, are considerably heavier than this one. Also, while Porsche is prepping its electric Boxster, you simply can’t go out and buy a new electric convertible sports car, because they don’t exist.
Of course, this EV is light and massively characterful to drive because it’s quite literally an E-Type from the 1970s that’s had its inline-six heart ripped out. There are no regulations or crash standards it needs to adhere to, so you’re left with what is essentially a “new” E-Type, but better. And we do mean better, too, because ECD will install an upgraded suspension and braking system for more modern (and safer) dynamics. The ride is a good bit stiffer than a regular E-Type, but the body control and roll resistance is much improved, lending greater confidence when driving it with vigor. You’ll still need to use a fair amount of lock from the delicate wooden steering wheel to get turning action, but this electric E-Type genuinely feels light on its feet and balanced when you swing it left or right. The brakes do a slightly worse job of masquerading as modern performance car brakes, but they’re still better than what stock brakes from the 1960s or 1970s will give you. Plus, you can turn the regenerative braking on or off depending on whether you want the car to automatically decelerate once you lift off the throttle – ECD says it’s working on a one-pedal drive mode for future builds, too.
Slamming the throttle brings the instant-on shove of a performance EV, and the corresponding electric whine you can hear with the roof off is entertaining. We’d guess the 0-60 mph time is right around 5 seconds as it stands with the 305-horsepower motor, but ECD says it’s working on developing a more powerful 450-horsepower electric motor for those who want even better acceleration. After driving the E-Type around at its current power level, though, we’re left wondering if more power would make the experience any better. The E-Type was used in racing many years ago, but as a road car, this amount of power with its corresponding suspension and braking capabilities feels perfectly in balance.
As for areas of improvement, ECD says it’s constantly working with its battery supplier Ampere EV to fine-tune the software and improve battery performance (we actually lost drive momentarily on our test route due to a software glitch, but a quick cycle of the key had us back up and running normally). The 42-kilowatt-hour battery pack itself – the only size option – fits snugly under the E-Type’s long clamshell hood, while the motor and running gear route their way back through the chassis. ECD claims its electric E-Type can do about 200 miles of city driving or 140 miles of highway driving.
You can recharge it at a DC fast charger with a CCS plug, and it charges at a maximum rate of 50 kW, allowing you to go from 0-100% in about 45 minutes. That’s very slow by modern EV standards, but perhaps acceptable for a restomod that seems unlikely to venture off on many lengthy road trips. ECD says that by the end of 2024, it’ll support Tesla’s NACS plug, but folks who take delivery of their E-Types between now and then will be given adapters, and eventually the company will install NACS ports in its cars.
The way ECD restores and builds its E-Types is a little different from its Defender production line, too. The Land Rovers essentially keep their frames and some key drivetrain components, but besides those bits, they’re entirely new vehicles with new parts. The E-Types are instead restorations, retaining as much of the original car as possible. ECD can buy new body panels directly from Jaguar, and it keeps the exterior looking about as faithful to its original form as can be. That’s where the originality of the appearance ends, though. The colors, upholstery, trim and pretty much anything to do with the appearance can be customized to your heart’s content. All of the cars are painted and put together on-site in Kissimmee, Fla., and then tested for several hundred miles before they’re ultimately delivered to customers around the country. In a word, the end products are beautiful. Then again, this is an E-Type. When has that ever not been the case?
Pricing for the E-Type restoration begins at $299,995 and only goes up from there depending on whatever luxury or powertrain options you may choose. The end product is essentially a brand-new E-Type with whatever form of motivation excites you. We can vouch for the electric version being great fun to drive, but an LT4 boomed by us while visiting the site, and it’s nearly as tempting.
And don’t worry, traditionalists. ECD is happy to restore (and even improve) the original inline-six or V12 that these E-Types came with from the factory. However, the company warns that you’re in for an entirely different maintenance experience over the lifetime of the vehicle should you pass up the modern powertrains.
No matter the choice, a brand-new E-Type built to these standards is some forbidden fruit that very few builders in the world can give you.

IKEA, Swedish home furnishings retailer which celebrated five years of retail operations in India, is confident about carrying forward its India success story.
Susanne Pulverer, CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA India, said,“India has given us an opportunity to deeply understand the diverse needs and aspirations of the consumers and we have used these learnings to develop our offerings to create a better everyday life at home not only in India but across the globe.

ŽENA je užasnula mnoge nakon što je pokazala toksičnu noćnu moru zbog koje se više od šest mjeseci borila s raznim simptomima. Na TikToku je otkrila da je posjetila brojne liječnike i specijaliste kako bi doznala što nije u redu s njom. Osjećala se loše otkako je, prije pola godine, uselila u novu kuću.
“Uzrok mi je cijelo vrijeme bio pred nosom. Uklonili smo kadu i pronašli otrovnu crnu plijesan posvuda”, napisala je u videu u kojem je pokazala kako je to izgledalo.
Nakon otkrića, napravila je testove koji su pokazali da je zaista patila od simptoma trovanja plijesni.
“Stachybotrys je nadaleko poznat kao najagresivnija i najotrovnija vrsta plijesni u cijelom svijetu”, dodala je.

Simptomi trovanja plijesni uključuju alergije, svrbež očiju, glavobolju, mučninu, umor, kašalj, kihanje, hripanje i začepljen nos.
“Skrivena plijesan je opasna, budite oprezni”, poručila je drugima.
Plijesan uzrokuje višak vlage te proizvodi alergene, iritante i otrovne tvari. Udisanje ili dodirivanje plijesni opasno je za bebe, starije osobe, one s kožnim problemima i ljude koji pate od respiratornih problema, poput alergija i astme.

PSE ČESTO možemo vidjeti kako beskrajno jure za vlastitim repovima. Ali zašto?
Postoji nekoliko mogućih razloga za takvo ponašanje, kao i načina kako ga spriječiti, rekli su stručnjaci za Live Science.
Štenci i mlađi psi mogu jednostavno loviti vlastiti rep iz zabave. Osobito štenci možda još ne shvaćaju da su njihovi repovi zapravo dio njihovih tijela, tvrde stručnjaci iz bolnice za životinje Schertz u Teksasu.
Jedan od razloga je i dosada
Dosada može biti još jedan razlog, posebno kada su psi dugo sami. “Kad god pas nije zabavljen ili se nije u potpunosti istrčan, ima potencijala da mu bude dosadno”, rekao je za Live Science Russell Hartstein, savjetnik za ponašanje pasa i osnivač Fun Paw Care u Los Angelesu.
Za pse koji trče u krug jer im je dosadno, jednostavno rješenje može biti igranje ili šetnja. Većina pasa radije bi ganjala loptu nego vlastiti rep, primjećuju iz bolnice za životinje u Los Angelesu.
Drugi razlog zbog kojeg psi mogu juriti za svojim repom je traženje pažnje. “Vlasnik psa možda je nagradio takvo ponašanje smijanjem ili riječima “dobar dečko”, rekao je Hartstein. Kako biste obuzdali jurenje za repom, ignorirajte takvo ponašanje dok psu pridajete zdravu količinu pažnje, kažu iz Schertz bolnice za životinje.
Traženje pažnje
Određene pasmine pasa sklone su hvatanju vlastitog repa. Na primjer, bulterijeri i njemački ovčari “dobro su poznati po osjetljivosti na kompulzivna ponašanja kao što je jurnjava za repom”, rekao je Hannes Lohi, genetičar sa Sveučilišta u Helsinkiju, za Live Science.

Nažalost, brojne fizičke bolesti povezane su s lovljenjem repa. Ozljeda repa, svrbež zbog crijevnih parazita ili buha; zahvaćene analne žlijezde; ili alergije na hranu mogu uzrokovati da pas liže, grize ili lovi svoj rep, prema bolnici za životinje Schertz. Ako psi iznenada počnu loviti ili gristi svoje repove, njihovi bi vlasnici trebali zakazati posjet svom veterinaru, napominju.
Neurološki poremećaji
Konačno, lovljenje repa može biti povezano s neurološkim poremećajima, kao što je pseći kompulzivni poremećaj, pseća verzija opsesivno-kompulzivnog poremećaja.
U studiji iz 2012. Lohi i njegovi kolege istraživali su 368 pasa iz četiri pasmine poznate po lovu na rep. Ponašanje obično počinje u dobi od 3 do 6 mjeseci, pri čemu gotovo polovica pasa koji jure za repom pokazuju druge vrste kompulzija, kao što je koračanje u ponavljajućim obrascima, više nego obični psi.
“Zanimljivo je da su psi koji su dobivali dodatke prehrani, posebice vitamine i minerale, manje hvatali rep u usporedbi s psima koji nisu dobivali nikakve dodatke”, rekao je Lohi. “Kastrirane ženke su manje lovile rep, što ukazuje na utjecaj hormona na lovljenje repa.” Osim toga, u usporedbi s psima koji nisu jurili za repom, lovci na repove često su bili sramežljiviji i ranije su se odvojili od svojih majki, rekao je.
Kako to obuzdati?
Ako je pas inače zdrav, “vježbanje dresure pasa i uključivanje njihovih mentalnih i emocionalnih aspekata u njihov život pomoći će da se zaustavi jurnjava za repovima”, rekao je Hartstein. “Nema loše strane više trenirati sa svojim psom i pobrinuti se da bude ispunjen i obogaćen na svaki mogući način.”
Natjerati pse da prakticiraju ponašanje koje je nespojivo s lovljenjem repa može pomoći u obuzdavanju takvog ponašanja. “Na primjer, ako se pas naginje pokraj vas, ili ako sjedi ili je u donjem položaju, ili čeka vaše vodstvo, tada neće tražiti da lovi svoj rep”, rekao je Hartstein.

COLOR WOW poznati je brend proizvoda za kosu, a mnogi se kunu u neke njegove preparate i tvrde da su must-have. Jedan takav je sprej Dream Coat koji dolazi u nekoliko varijanti, ali onaj originalni najviše je hvaljen i već neko vrijeme viralan na društvenim mrežama. Radi se o tretmanu za kosu koji je zaglađuje i sprječava neželjeno kovrčanje, čak i pri najgoroj vlažnosti. Osim toga, daje kosi zapanjujući sjaj koji je skoro pa staklast.
Recenzije ovog proizvoda su mahom vrlo pozitivne te mnogi ne kriju oduševljenje. “Frizura mi se nije pomaknula cijeli dan”, “Definitivno funkcionira, kosa mi se nije nakovrčala po kišnom vremenu”, “Volim ga! Čini moju kosu mekom i sjajnom”, samo su neke od njih na službenoj stranici brenda.

Cijena ovog proizvoda nije niska, tako najmanja bočica od 50 ml košta 13 eura, ona od 200 ml 30 eura, a najveća od 500 ml 62 eura. No unatoč visokoj cijeni, ovaj proizvod ima puno poklonika koji ga redovno kupuju, ali neki su ipak naumili pronaći povoljniju alternativu. I uspjeli.
Tiktokeri su našli povoljan duplić
Srećom po mnoge, svoje otkriće podijelili su na TikToku, a dobra vijest je da se povoljniji duplić ovog popularnog proizvoda može kupiti i kod nas – Balein Anti-Frizz Glatt sprej. “Volim pronalaziti dupliće skupih proizvoda koji mi se sviđaju”, kaže tiktokerica Andreea. Testirala je oba i navela da je Balein dostojna zamjena skupljeg viralnog spreja za kosu.
No, osim nje, i neki drugi tiktokeri su pohvalili ovaj Balein sprej i učinak na kosi. On se kod nas može pronaći u dm-u, a cijena bočice od 200 ml je 2.45 eura, možete ga vidjeti ovdje.

New Delhi: Leading domestic automaker Mahindra & Mahindra is developing its inaugural range of electric light commercial vehicles (LCVs) to position itself in a fiercely competitive segment that is transitioning from conventional fuels to cleaner technologies such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and electrification, two people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans told Mint.
Mahindra plans to launch its first line-up of electric four-wheeler commercial vehicles in 2025, complementing its existing electric three-wheeler cargo products, they added.
Mahindra confirmed the plans in an emailed response to Mint’s queries. “M&M is an industry leader in light commercial vehicle category (vehicles with sub-3.5-tonne payload). The electric three-wheeler segment has been an early adopter of electric vehicles and M&M already has a strong portfolio of electric 3-wheelers with a dominant market share. We will consolidate our leadership in LCV sub-3.5 tonne category with a new range of electric vehicles by 2025-26,” Veejay Nakra, president, automotive sector, M&M, said.
The new model will compete with the Tata Ace EV, and Ashok Leyland’s ieV series of electric trucks in the sub-3 tonne segment. The market for small and light electric commercial vehicles, though at a nascent stage, is rapidly expanding as large fleet operators are seeking emissions-friendly technologies for last-mile deliveries. This shift is driven by mandates to phase out polluting commercial vehicles, evolving emissions-related regulations, and as the fleet operators pursue improved cost efficiencies.
Mahindra’s market share in the light commercial vehicles category was 47% in November, making it the largest player in the segment.
Tata Motors followed at 31.2% market share in the same month, data compiled by Federation of Automobile Dealers’ Association showed.
The Tata Ace EV is the electric adaptation of Tata’s top-selling small commercial vehicle in 0-1 tonne category, the Tata Ace. In contrast, Ashok Leyland’s electric mobility arm, Switch Mobility, is built on a dedicated electric platform designed for the 2-3.5 tonne segment. In this segment, M&M commands an over two-thirds market share. These vehicles cater to last-mile delivery of goods, following a hub-and-spoke model on clearly defined operational routes. They find application across sectors, including e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods, and agriculture.
M&M may look to capitalize on the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for automobiles for its LCVs. It enjoys PLI benefits for its lithium-ion battery-powered electric three-wheeler cargo vehicles.
In the past year, M&M edged past Tata Motors to take the lead in the light commercial vehicles segment. Ashok Leyland is also aiming to secure a significant share of the LCV market, and claims to have received orders for over 10,000 units of Switch’s ieV trucks, scheduled for a 2024 launch.
On the other hand, Tata Motors Ltd, the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to launch electric trucks in India, inked. memoranda of understanding with many e-commerce entities for delivering 39,000 units of Ace EV across Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi when it launched the product in May 2022.
Tata Ace EV has also earned certification for receiving benefits under the government’s Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicle (FAME II) scheme.
The LCV category in India, comprising vehicles of up to 7 tonnes, grew 27% from a year earlier in FY23 to 603,465 units, 2% lower compared to its FY19 peak, according to Elara Capital.

NEW DELHI: “Adipurush”, a lavish multilingual retelling of the Ramayana, was at the centre of protests in several cities on Monday and led to a ban on all Hindi films in Nepal with Union minister Anurag Thakur stepping in to say that nobody has the right to hurt the sentiments of people.
As the row over the film escalated and audiences in various parts of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Delhi took to the streets, Mumbai Police agreed to give security to dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla on his request.
The film, directed by Om Raut and fronted by Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, has come under attack for its dialogue, colloquial language and representation of some characters from the much-loved mythological epic.
In Nepal as well, “Adipurush” provoked ire over its dialogues, particularly for its mention of Sita as “India’s daughter”.
Screening of “Adipurush” and all other Hindi films has been banned in the country until the film’s team makes desired changes.

In Mumbai, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Thakur said the film’s writer and director have agreed to make some changes after the nationwide uproar.
“Nobody has the right to hurt the sentiments of others. The CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) has taken a decision on the issue. It is their job,” Thakur told reporters when asked about his views and the central government’s stand over the controversial film.
“Adipurush”, which was released across the country in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil on Friday, stars Prabhas as Raghav (Ram), Kriti Sanon as Janaki (Sita) and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh (Raavan).
According to production banner T-Series, it has grossed Rs 340 crore in three days at the global box office.
Different parts of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and the national capital witnessed protests against the film on Monday.
While seers in Ayodhya demanded an immediate ban on the film saying its dialogues made their “blood boil”, in Varanasi, a group of people staged a protest and tore posters of the Om Raut-directed film.

A Hindu outfit also staged a protest outside a theatre in the temple town of Mathura.
A police complaint was lodged by the Hindu Mahasabha with the Lucknow police against the film’s makers and actors.
A case is yet to be registered in this connection, police said.
Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, said, “The film’s dialogues make our blood boil. The film should be banned immediately. The government should ensure that this does not happen again.”
In Mathura, Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha activists staged a protest outside a cinema in the Govind Nagar police station area and raised slogans against the film.
Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party joined the chorus against the film and said the faithful are hurt by its “cheap and superficial dialogues”.
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav said the censor board should check the “political character certificate” of those who play with the faith of people by making films with an agenda using the money of their political masters.
“Has the Censor Board become Dhritarashtra?” he asked in a tweet.
Dhritarashtra, the father of the Kauravas, was a blind king in the epic Mahabharata.
Another Samajwadi Party leader, Shivpal Yadav, alleged that efforts are being made to belittle the great and inspiring character of Lord Ram and his story through cinema with “cheap and superficial dialogues”.
A group of people disrupted the film’s screening in a mall in Nalasopara in Maharashtra’s Palghar district.
According to a police official, the protesters claimed they belong to a group called Rashtra Pratham.
The protesters shouted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans and asked people to boycott the film, he said.
In Delhi’s Shahdara area, some people were seen raising slogans outside a movie theatre, a senior police official said.
“There were some people raising slogans outside a movie theatre in east Delhi’s Shahdara area. However, the show is underway without any interruption,” the official said.
As protests intensified, the film’s writer has been provided security by the Mumbai Police after he cited a threat to his life, an official said on Monday.
“We have received an application from Manoj Shukla and we are considering providing him security following a threat to his life,” the official said.
On Sunday, Shukla announced that the makers have decided to “revise some of the dialogues” in the Hindi version and the amended lines will be added to the movie by this week.
Later, T-Series said the team has decided to make alterations to the dialogues of “Adipurush” in order to value “the input of the public”.

KASNA večera možda djeluje bezopasno, ali konzumacija hrane nakon 21 sat zapravo može povećati rizik od moždanog udara, objavili su francuski znanstvenici.
Do tog otkrića došli su studijom koja je pratila više od 100.000 stanovnika Francuske, od kojih je svaki ispunio 15 dnevnika prehrane u kojima su bilježili vrijeme obroka radnim danima i vikendom. Trećina ljudi večerala je prije 20 sati, dok je trećina jela između 20 i 21, a trećina nakon 21 sat.
Volonteri su praćeni u prosjeku sedam godina, i tijekom tog razdoblja zabilježeno je oko 2000 slučajeva kardiovaskularnih bolesti, uključujući srčane i moždane udare. Ljudi koji su večerali najkasnije, nakon 21 sat, imali su 28 posto veću vjerojatnost da će doživjeti moždani udar ili prolazni ishemijski napad, poznat kao mini-moždani udar.

“Baka me uvijek upozoravala da ne večeram prekasno, a ova studija sugerira da bi taj savjet mogao imati smisla. Sada smo društvo koje radi 24 sata, sedam dana u tjednu, i mnogi osjećaju da nikad nemaju dovoljno vremena te jedu kasno navečer. Ali pokazalo se da to može povećati rizik od zdravstvenih problema, češće kod žena”, rekao je autor studije dr. Bernard Srour sa Sveučilišta Sorbonne Paris Nord.
Studija objavljena u časopisu Nature Communications uočila je povezanost između vremena obroka i srčanih problema uglavnom kod žena, koje su činile gotovo 80 posto volontera u studiji.
Znanstvenici imaju teoriju da probava hrane povisuje šećer u krvi i krvni tlak, što s vremenom može oštetiti krvne žile i povećati rizik od krvnih ugrušaka koji dovode do moždanih i srčanih udara, ali da bi to dokazali, potrebno je mnogo više istraživanja.

OBITELJ White iz Kentuckyja ostala je u šoku kada su shvatili da na njihovom božićnom drvcu živi sova. Njihov bor je bio dom ptici četiri dana.
“Imam tri psa. Stalno smo u dnevnoj sobi: gledamo TV; kuhinja je ovdje; nije bilo naznaka”, rekla je vlasnica kuće Michelle White. White je rekla za WDKY da su ona i njezina obitelj donijeli drvce u svoj dom ne sluteći da sova boravi na drvcu, sve dok čistač tepiha, Bobby Hayes, nije primijetio životinju dok je radio u njihovom domu.

“Uvukla se u dublje u stablo. Trebalo mi je nekoliko minuta da ju uopće pronađem”, rekao je Hayes. Hayes je uspio zgrabiti sovu te je poslao sliku s njom vlasnici kuće.”Bila sam šokirana”, rekla je White. Dodala je da je isprva mislila da joj Hayes šalje fotografiju plišane životinje. Drago joj je što je upravo Hayes našao sovu.
“Da sam na njegovom mjestu, ja bih napustila kuću. Sova neka ostane”, rekla je White. Hayes je na kraju pustio sovu natrag u divljinu, a White je za WDKY rekla da sada planira isplesti ukras u obliku sove koji će staviti na svoje drvce.

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami’s collaboration in mid-July was very productive for the Florida-based club. The team with a poor track record before Messi’s arrival not only won their first title but also booked a place in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The World Cup winner Messi also overtook his former teammate Dani Alves in the championship medals count, as he captured his 44th title in his professional career. Later Messi’s absence in most of the MLS regular season cost Inter Miami a place in the playoffs and a shot at the league title. But they can dream of adding one more trophy to their cabinet while playing in a continental tournament.

It cleared Inter Miami’s possible first opponent in the competition. They will face the winner between MLS side Nashville SC and Dominican Republic minnows Moca. Interestingly Inter Miami defeated Nashville FC in the 2023 Leagues Cup final, to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions CUP.

MUMBAI: ‘Killer Soup’, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma, will be released on January 11 on Netflix, the streaming platform announced Thursday.
Directed by Abhishek Chaubey of “Udta Punjab” and “Sonchiriya” fame, the comedy crime-drama is loosely inspired by a news headline and serves up a “tantalising blend of intrigue and dark humour”.
It follows Swathi Shetty (Konkana), an aspiring yet talentless home chef, who cooks up a bizarre plan to replace her husband, Prabhakar (Bajpayee), with her lover, Umesh (also played by Bajpayee).
But when a bumbling local inspector and amateur villains stir the pot, things don’t go as planned and a recipe for chaos ensues, the official synopsis read.
Chaubey, who also serves as a co-writer and showrunner on the series, said his goal was to offer an “exceptional” crime thriller show that is laced with humour.
“With ‘Killer Soup’, we wanted to give the audience permission to laugh and also be shocked with a crime thriller that blends in humour and quirkiness. It is a pot-boiler sent completely over the top with an exceptional cast including Manoj Bajpayee, Konkona Sensharma, Nasser, Sayaji Shinde and Lal. Through this series, I wanted to serve up something exceptional with Netflix and it has been a creatively fulfilling experience with them,” the director said in a statement.
The show was announced in 2022 and was previously titled ‘Soup’.
Tanya Bami, director of series at Netflix India, said she is thrilled to kickstart 2024 with a bizarre series like ‘Killer Soup’.
“Abhishek Chaubey’s ‘Killer Soup’ is a great way for us to start the new year. It’s a genre audiences love, a crime thriller, like no other. Crazy, quirky and bizarre. Told to perfection by Abhishek and team and performed to excellence by Manoj and Konkona,” Bami said.
‘Killer Soup’ is produced by Honey Trehan and Chetana Kowshik.
The 12 per cent correction in PI Industries stock price for the past two trading sessions since the Agropages news report regarding pyroxasulfone (a pre-emergent herbicide used in wheat, maize, and soybean) capacity creation in China should abate, given that pyroxasulfone is likely to be under patent in the US (the largest market) and Latin America until CY25 and CY30, respectively.
It has gone off-patent only in smaller markets of India and Australia; 2) securing registrations for generic pyroxasulfone in the US is unlikely before CY26; 3) the pyroxasulfone market size is likely to expand vs. the current market size of ₹600–700 million as per management, led by increased penetration in major consumption markets of the Americas and Australia.
The financial impact of increased competition or global inventory of pyroxasulfone is unlikely, and we expect the recent correction to be short-lived. Pyroxasulfone, as a molecule, would continue to see market expansion as it is still under patent in key geographies of the Americas.
We keep our earnings estimates unchanged. Due to a 12 per cent correction in the stock price in the past two days (vs. a 0.5% decline in the Sensex), we upgraded the stock to Buy from Accumulate with an unchanged TP of ₹4,270 based on 30x FY25E EPS of ₹143.
As I look back at 2023, I would like to reflect on one key theme that marked the year — surprising new brands which have entered our active mindspace in India over the past twelve months.
For all of us in the marketing fraternity, achieving top of mind salience for any new brand is worth its weight in gold. In a world that lives on fragmented attention, this is increasingly challenging to achieve. Yet, during 2023, many new brands that we had never heard about earlier have achieved virtually universal awareness.
ChatGPT
Let’s begin with ChatGPT, which burst into public consciousness at the start of 2023. This ushered in the era of generative AI. ChatGPT is a large language model based chatbot. However, it quickly broke free from its technology moorings and assumed magical powers in our minds — because it could do so many things that were unimaginable earlier. Within five days, ChatGPT had attracted over one million users. Within a year now, it has over 180 million users. Companies and individuals began experimenting actively with ChatGPT in a number of areas. This astonishing rise also led to unending debates on multiple aspects of AI. ChatGPT’s tidal wave of popularity imprinted the brand name sharply in our minds. The company which created ChatGPT, Open AI, became a famous brand name too.
Tata WPL
Tata WPL burst into our lives during the first quarter of 2023 as a fresh new sports property that got everyone talking. It brought women’s cricket to centre-stage. Within three weeks, it had become the second most watched sports event in the country, next only to Tata IPL. The inaugural edition threw up star women cricketers who captured our imagination, including Smriti Mandhana, Meg Lanning and Harmanpreet Kaur. Stadiums went full and cumulative viewership of the tournament on television totalled up to an amazing 100 million people. The launch of Tata WPL is likely to be remembered as a transformative moment not just for cricket, but also for women’s sports in India. Kudos to BCCI for creating such a wonderful new brand that achieved brilliant salience so quickly.
From Twitter to X
I had never imagined that a single alphabet could make so much noise so fast. Yet “X” did precisely that, within a few days of Elon Musk re-naming Twitter. Sometime during July 2023, Musk revealed to the world that “X” would be the new name for the iconic brand Twitter. This name had been germinating in Musk’s fertile mind for some time. In 2022, he had already tweeted that this platform would be “an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.” Musk appears to have been fascinated with the alphabet “X” for several years. Regardless of what you think about this re-branding strategy, “X” was soon all over us, ubiquitous and unmissable.
G-20
G-20 is not a new brand name. It has existed as a name for an inter-governmental forum of several countries for the past two decades. However, during 2023, the name reached every part of our country and became a well-known brand in its own right. India assumed presidency of the G-20 in December 2022, and, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it established a sharp, clear agenda for the year ahead. India also strengthened the brand name by adding to it the theme of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” in Sanskrit — which broadly translates as “One Earth, Only Family, One Future”.
Following the summit’s success, G-20 and its lotus shaped brand logo soon became very familiar to all of us, not just in metro cities but across the length and breadth of India.
Oppenheimer
Before the Hollywood movie Oppenheimer was released, not many Indians would have heard of this scientist. Soon after it was released, everyone, from Chennai to Chandigarh, knew. This biopic had a blockbuster launch, far exceeding most Bollywood movies. Soon, millions of Indians were, quite amazingly, talking about an American theoretical physicist who had passed away over 50 years ago. Oppenheimer was no longer just a scientist, but a well known brand name that stood for so many attributes in our minds — brilliant, charismatic, complicated, enigmatic and compelling. Building such a vivid and sharp brand is a holy grail that marketers pursue all the time.
What learnings do you take away from these surprising new brands that made such an impact within a year? On that note, let me wish all of you a very happy new year.

VISOKI kolesterol uglavnom je uzrokovan jedenjem masne hrane, manjkom kretanja, prekomjernom težinom, pušenjem i pijenjem alkohola. Odnosi se na višak masne tvari u krvi, a može biti opasan ako se ne liječi jer tada može uzrokovati razne komplikacije, uključujući srčani i moždani udar.
Iako je prilagodba prehrane ključna u snižavanju kolesterola, postoje određeni dodaci prehrani koji mogu pomoći.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Omega-3
Omega-3 masne kiseline poznate su po sposobnosti snižavanja triglicerida i smanjenja rizika od srčanih bolesti. U svoj jelovnik možete dodati masnu ribu, ali korisni su i dodaci omega-3 masnih kiselina. Osim što djeluju na smanjenje kolesterola, smanjuju upalu, podržavaju kognitivnu funkciju te kožu, vid i zglobove čine zdravijima.
Crveni kvasac
Crveni kvasac tradicionalni je kineski lijek poznat po svojstvima snižavanja kolesterola. Dobiva se iz fermentirane riže i sadrži monakoline, spojeve koji učinkovito sprječavaju proizvodnju kolesterola.
Artičoka
Za artičoku je utvrđeno da inhibira proizvodnju kolesterola, dok istovremeno potiče njegovu razgradnju i smanjuje njegovu apsorpciju u crijevima. Artičoka također povećava proizvodnju žuči i njezino kretanje u crijeva, čime se poboljšava način na koji se metaboliziraju masti iz hrane, piše Express.

MAČKE i snijeg definitivno nisu najsretnija kombinacija. Dok većina pasa obožava valjanje i igranje u snijegu, mačke će uglavnom radije odabrati spavanje na toploj dekici.

Instagram is now expanding its notes feature to allow users to add video statuses of around 2 seconds. The new video notes feature differs from the company’s already popular ‘Stories’ feature in that video notes have a time limit of around 2 seconds, can only be recorded using the Instagram app’s front camera and cannot be uploaded from users’ phone storage. Once posted, the video notes will be available to close friends and mutual followers for a period of 24 hours.
How to use the new video status feature?
1) Open Instagram and go to your inbox
2) Click on your photo in the Notes tray and tap on the camera button
3) Tap on record to capture your 2-second video with the front-facing camera
4) Add text to the video for context and post it
Instagram is also now providing users with the ability to reply to Note using more than just texts with support for audio, photo, video and sticker replies rolling out. The reply to a note using an emoji or photo will be sent directly to the inbox of the receiver.
Facebook and Instagram’s new AI powered features:
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday also announced some generative AI features that could be coming soon to Facebook and Instagram users. The two new features are based on Emu, Meta’s first foundational model for image generation, and are called Emu Video and Emu Edit.
The new Emu edit feature will allow users to “precisely” edit their images by changing only the pixels relevant to the user’s request. In a blog post about the new Emu Edit feature, Meta said, “Emu Edit is capable of free-form editing through instructions, encompassing tasks such as local and global editing, removing and adding a background, color and geometry transformations, detection and segmentation, and more. “
Another new update coming to the two social media apps is Emu Video, which will allow users to create videos using text prompts, images or a combination of the two.

Voice actors around the globe are mobilizing against the unregulated use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate and clone human voices that they fear poses a threat to their livelihoods.
“We’re fighting a very big monster,” said Mario Filio, a Mexican artist who has done voiceovers for Hollywood star Will Smith, the Obi-Wan Kenobi character in Star Wars and the party-loving lemur King Julien in the animated movie “Madagascar.”
Campaigning under the slogan “Don’t steal our voices,” more than 20 voice acting guilds, associations and unions from Europe, the United States and Latin America have created the United Voice Artists coalition.
It represents the faceless voiceover artists and narrators of commercials, movies, audiobooks and video games who fear that their voices will be replaced by machines, or even cloned by artificial intelligence without their consent.
“The undiscriminating and unregulated use of artificial intelligence is a risk that could lead to the extinction of an artistic heritage of creativity and wonder, an asset that machines cannot generate,” according to the group, which says its members include the US National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA) and Latin America’s Organization of United Voices.
“Our voices are our livelihood,” NAVA vice president Carin Gilfry said in a statement last month.
“And if we don’t have control over how those voices are used, we can’t make a living,” she added.
Voice artists were already competing with text-to-speech technology that turns written words into synthetic voice. Now artificial intelligence has brought a new threat. Thanks to machine learning, software can compare a voice sample with millions of existing ones, identifying patterns that generate a clone.
“It’s fed by voices that we’ve been providing for years,” said Dessiree Hernandez, president of the Mexican Association of Commercial Announcers.
“We’re talking about the right to use your voice without your consent,” she added.
‘Adapt or disappear’
Platforms offer human sounding text-to-speech services for a fraction of what professionals would charge.
One, revoicer.com, says that it does not intend to replace human voiceovers, but to offer a quicker and cheaper alternative.
Although they continued to be hired, voice actors suspect that companies are using their voices to build up their archives.
The artists are seeking tools to track their voices in the face of sophisticated piracy.
They want laws to prevent recordings of their voices being used to develop AI without their consent, and also support setting quotas for human voiceovers, said Colombian voice artist Daniel Soler de la Prada.
In the future, audiences could hear a famous actor’s voice in several languages but with the intonation of a dubbing artist, Filio said.
While that could generate employment and benefits for the public, voice artists “need to charge what’s fair,” he added.
Mexican voice artist Maclovia Gonzalez said that she would only sign a contract with an AI company if it provided enough information about how the content would be used.
“I want to be part of this revolution, but not at any price,” she said.
Art Dubbing, a company that has received several requests from clients to use synthetic voices, faces a dilemma: “adapt or disappear,” said its Mexican founder, Anuar Lopez de la Pena.
Filio for his part said that he stopped recording for many clients for fear of hurting his colleagues’ livelihoods.
But he is skeptical that artificial intelligence will replace voice actors completely because the machines have “no soul,” he added.
Bengaluru-based Denta Water and Infra Solutions Ltd has filed its draft red herring prospectus with Securities and Exchange Board of India to raise funds through initial public offering (IPO).
The public offer from a water engineering, procurement, and construction services provider is entirely a fresh issue of up to 75 lakh shares.
The proceeds from the fresh issue, to the extent of ₹150 crore, will be used to meet working capital requirements.
The company, in consultation with the lead bankers to the issue, may consider a further issue of equity shares on a private placement, rights issue, preferential issue, or any other method aggregating up to 11 lakh shares (pre-IPO placement). If such placement is completed, the fresh issue size will be reduced, it said.

Denta Water and Infra Solutions, established in 2016, has completed 16 water management projects, mainly in Karnataka, and is presently undertaking 19 water management projects that are in various stages of implementation.
It participates in tenders for developing projects such as infrastructure for groundwater recharging, lift irrigation, and infrastructure for supplying drinking water to various habitations under Jal Jeevan Mission.
SMC Capitals Limited is the sole book-running lead manager, and Integrated Registry Management Services Private Limited is the registrar of the offer. The equity shares are proposed to be listed on the BSE and NSE.
At the end of the year, the spotlight is back on influencers. If Jasmeen Kaur’s catchphrase — “So beautiful, so elegant, just looking like a wow” — is on the lips of everyone, making this Delhi boutique store owner with an ungrammatical hyperbolic way speech, an unconventional influencer, then Orry, the socialite who came from nowhere to hang out with A-listers, is another out-of-the-ordinary influencer.
Meanwhile, as State elections wound down, and the analysis began on the results, there was a bit of buzz about the role of some youtubers — who were supposed to be political influencers — used by a particular party that did not fare too well. X, erstwhile Twitter, was full of posts debating as to whether independent content creators can actually influence politics.
Whether they do or not, 2023 cemented the place of influencers as an important ally of marketers — the very fact that their orbit of influence has stretched from apparel, beauty, consumer products to stock picks and politics shows their growing clout. And 2024 is only expected to put ‘influence’ in a leading position in a brand’s marketing armoury.
Only 4 per cent of the booming ‘creator economy’ which is estimated to be worth $500 billion by 2027, has been tapped by brands, according to reports, which means big things are yet to come as marketers start harnessing the remaining 96 per cent.
A new report by Ogilvy on influencer marketing trends that will define 2024 says, “The future of influence is one where influencers are not just adjuncts to marketing campaigns, but an integral component of brand strategies. This evolution is challenging brands to think bigger and bolder; forging robust relationships with creators that transcend traditional collaboration models. Some key trends:
Virtual Influencers
2023 marked the growth of AI generated influencers — digital beings crafted by brands and creators. Actually, it was back in 2022 that India’s first AI generated influencer — Kyra — was born, created by Himanshu Goel; she did brand endorsements with boat, Amazon Prime Video et al. In 2023, we saw Naina, created by AVTR Meta Labs, a content driven Meta influencer company, shoot into superstardom with over 134K followers on Instagram.
Ogilvy too, in its report, highlights this trend. “AI will tighten its grip on influencer marketing as Meta rolls out its ‘AI Personas’ in the new year. Virtual twins of household names such as Kendall Jenner — named Billie — will shift influence from passive spectatorship to hyper-personalised interactions in ways fans once thought was impossible,” it says.
But Kalyan Kumar, Co-founder and CEO of KlugKlug, a global SaaS platform for influencer marketing, says it is not going to be easy to create AI figures with huge following. “Constructing an AI virtual influencer involves defining a persona, devising a content plan and targeting specific audiences, with success hinging on the ability to attract followers. Despite the potential for an overabundance of virtual influencers, due to advancing AI technology, the real challenge lies in crafting a successful one capable of endorsing brands and building a dedicated audience,” he says.
Sonic Influence
According to the Ogilvy report, which has been put together by Rahul Titus, Ogilvy’s Global Head of Influence, along with a group of global Influence experts, “the sound of influence is another core trend set to dominate”. It cites how Christina Aguilera and Latto’s viral hip-hopera duet for Just Eat received five times the mentions across the UK, Ireland and Australia that Katy Perry’s had last year. Meanwhile Garnier-owned hip-hop track Micellar Rewind used by influencers when showing the benefits of a make-up remover had 4.3 billion views. “Sonic and visual identity are not mutually exclusive, both will complement each other in the coming year to amplify profiles, gain cultural resonance and improve share of voice for brands,” says the report.
Sustainable Influence
Sustainability was a big topic in 2023 and it impacted influencer content in a big way too. “Brands’ ESG claims are under a magnifying glass from fans ready to call-out greenwashing. Couple this with the pressure on influencers to hold themselves accountable when making claims, 84 per cent of creators say they’re hesitant to post about climate change and the environment for fear of backlash,” says the Ogilvy report.
Other trends impacting the world of influence marketing are the rise of employee advocacy — the trend of brands using internal voices to drive external impact — and the growth of creators in newer spaces such as healthcare, agriculture and so on.
POSTOJI niz razloga zbog kojih se možemo buditi noću. Od boli i nelagode, preko stresa i tjeskobe, pa sve do toga da nam je prevruće ili prehladno. Što god bio uzrok, ako se noću često budite, dvije greške morate izbjegavati, kaže stručnjakinja za spavanje Biquan Luo za The Post.
“Najbolja stvar koju možete učiniti ako se probudite usred noći jest jednostavno ostati na mjestu. Pokušajte se opustiti i ponovno zaspati. Možete čak isprobati neke tehnike za spavanje, poput vježbi disanja i slušanja bijelih šumova”, rekla je za The Post.
Ako ipak ne uspijete zaspati, dr. Luo savjetuje da pričekate 10 do 15 minuta prije nego što ustanete iz kreveta.

“Pokušajte otići na tiho i udobno mjesto, poput kauča, te čitajte knjigu ili radite nešto umirujuće sve dok vam se ponovno ne prispava”, savjetuje.
Ono što nikako ne biste smjeli napraviti jest uzeti telefon u ruke ili pogledati na sat.
“Provjera vremena može povećati stres i otežati spavanje. Telefon može biti previše stimulativan, što vas dodatno sprječava da se opustite i zaspite”, poručila je dr. Luo.

VRIJEME JE za vruću čokoladu, sleazy božićne pjesme i padanje u klizaljkama. It’s tiiiiiiiiime! (Čujemo glas Marije Carey u glavi.)
Čak je i prvi snijeg iza nas, što znači da nam za potpuni blagdanski doživljaj preostaje još samo pogledati sve nastavke filma Sam u kući i kupiti božićne darove. Znanstveno je dokazano da nas darivanje čini sretnijima i zdravijima, zbog čega se ove blagdanske sezone gripi odupiremo ukrasnim papirom s motivom božićnih jelki. A kako bismo vam olakšali potragu za savršenim poklonima, sastavili smo listu od deset prijedloga koji će zadovoljiti i one najizbirljivije među vama.
1. Za prijateljicu s kovrčavom kosom
Iako su se kovrče u posljednje vrijeme naveliko vratile u modu, i to primarno zahvaljujući beauty influencericama koje su nas naučile kako ih pravilno njegovati i održavati (prije TikToka užasavali smo se gela u kosi), sigurno imate najmanje jednu kovrčavu prijateljicu koja tvrdi da joj bolje stoji ravna kosa. Kompromis je moguće postići pravilnim odabirom uređaja za ravnanje kose koji neće oštetiti njezine prirodne lokne, a ipak će joj omogućiti da iz vlastite kupaonice izađe s frizurom kao da je bila kod frizera.
Naš je prijedlog Remington Coconut Smooth Airstyler četka za kosu (199,89 kn/26,53 €), koja istovremeno suši i oblikuje bez potrebe za drugim uređajem za ravnanje, poput pegle za kosu. Uređaj ispušta mikroregenerator pri svakom potezu, što znači da svojoj prijateljici zapravo ne poklanjate samo četku za kosu nego good hair day do kraja života. A ako želite biti posebno pažljivi prema njezinim uvojcima, u paket uključite i Syoss Keratin sprej za zaštitu od topline (42,95 kn/5,70 €).
2. Za tatu koji ne želi ništa
Svaki put kad ga pitate što želi za Božić, on kaže da mu je najvažnije da ste svi zajedno za obiteljskim stolom. Zvuči poznato? Iako je teško kupovati za nekoga tko naizgled ima sve, činjenica da mu ništa ne treba zapravo olakšava stvar jer to znači da svom tati možete uistinu pokloniti što god hoćete. Primjerice, ispod bora ga na božićno jutro može dočekati craft pivo s okusom tartufa ili možda neki cool gadget, poput pametnog projektora (TV je prošlost, projektori su budućnost).
Za one s ograničenijim budžetom super je izbor Balea MEN poklon-paket za njegu brade i lica (41,82 kn/5,55 €) iz dm-a jer brada uvijek raste, a očevi obožavaju praktične poklone. Spomenuti poklon-paket uključuje 2u1 šampon i regenerator, ulje za njegu i pomadu za oblikovanje brade, što znači da mu do sljedeće blagdanske sezone zaista ništa više neće ni trebati.
3. Za rođaka koji je tek krenuo u vrtić
Svakog Božića imamo isti cilj – biti ona osoba u obitelji koja kupuje najbolje poklone (i dalje se sa sjetom sjećamo davne ’03. kad nas je ispod bora dočekala Barbie kućica s posvetom od najdraže tete). No ako sami nemate djecu, ponekad je teško procijeniti koju igračku pokloniti kojem uzrastu. Vrtićka dob odnosi se na razdoblje između treće i sedme godine kad je posebno važno poticati djecu na istraživanje te razvijanje umnih i kreativnih sposobnosti.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Budući da prvi odlazak u vrtić često puno teže pada roditeljima nego djeci, mideer dječji projektor (157,47 kn/20,90 €) koji na zid ili strop projicira slike iz čak 12 bajki prevedenih na hrvatski jezik čini nam se kao savršen poklon. Naime, ne samo što će čitanje priča prije spavanja podići na jednu sasvim novu, posve čarobnu razinu nego će roditeljima pomoći da vrijeme koje provedu s djetetom kod kuće bude što kvalitetnije. Vrijedi napomenuti i da se mideer projektor može koristiti i kao noćna lampa, zbog čega će vaš rođak zasigurno lakše usnuti nakon slika strašnog vuka iz priče o Crvenkapici, koju su mu roditelji ispričali prije spavanja.
A u slučaju da imate više od jednog rođaka, predlažemo vam da (ako već niste) instalirate ‘Moj dm’ aplikaciju i bacite oko na aktualnu ponudu igračaka i društvenih igara uvijek po povoljnim cijenama u dm-u.
4. Za novopečenu mamu
Teško je biti mama, ali još je teže biti novopečena mama. Između dojenja i googlanja optimalne temperature za kupanje bebe, nove mame često ne stižu odspavati ni tri sata u komadu, a kamoli pronaći vremena za sebe i svoje interese. Potpuna posvećenost bebi često znači da novim roditeljima ne preostaje mnogo vremena za druženje, zbog čega im je često iznimno važno da znaju kako drugi ipak nisu zaboravili na njih.
Zato ove godine novopečenim mamama poklonite neki sitan znak pažnje, idealno s motivom srca da im bude još jasnije da uvijek mogu računati na vašu podršku. Primjerice, IDC Institute In Love set šumećih kupki u obliku srca (36,54 kn/4,85 €) poslat će novim mamama poruku da ste uz njih i da ste svjesni kako im najviše od svega treba koji sat samo za njih. A ako se još ponudite i da pričuvate dijete dok se one opuštaju u kupci, sigurni smo da ćete postati druga najdraža osoba u njihovom životu, odmah poslije bebe.
5. Za mlađu gen Z sestru
Ugh. Ovo je možda najteža kategorija dosad jer su šanse da vaš poklon bude cheugy poprilično velike. Pri izboru poklona za pripadnike generacije Z ključno je držati se određenih pravila. U širokom luku izbjegavajte poklone s motivom Harryja Pottera, čarape su i više nego dobrodošle (pogotovo ako na sebi imaju čipku ili dolaze u kakvoj ludoj boji), a dodatne bodove dobit ćete za mašnice jer se one nose i u kosi i na tenisicama.
Naravno, nemoguće je pogriješiti i s nijansom ruža koja podsjeća na one koje su se nosile u devedesetima. Naš je favorit jedan Aurin klasik: lipliner olovka za usne br. 31 (Warm Brown – 32,02 kn/4,25 €), model koji neodoljivo podsjeća na ono što je nosila Cindy Crawford u svojim supermodelskim danima. Odvažnijima preporučujemo nijansu Dark Raspberry (br. 34), a onima koji nisu sigurni koja bi se boja mogla svidjeti njihovim mlađim sestrama predlažemo da odu do najbližeg dm-a i isprobaju testere na zapešćima.
6. Za prijatelje koji stalno vise na TikToku
Iako je sasvim izvjesno da i vaša mlađa sestra čitave dane provodi na društvenim mrežama, ovo je ipak posebna kategorija jer uključuje i pripadnike generacija koje se još uvijek nisu naviknule na široke hlače i razdjeljak po sredini glave. Najlakše ćete ih prepoznati po broju poruka koje vas ujutro dočekaju od njih, a od kojih su većina Reelsi i TikTokovi koje vam zdušno šalju.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Kad ne vise na mobitelu, vjerojatno isprobavaju viralne recepte i make-up trikove, zbog čega i njihove božićne poklone valja prilagoditi trendovima s TikToka. Real Techniques limited edition poklon-paket kistova i spužvi (210,21 kn/27,90 €) odličan je izbor za frendicu koja je jedan dan opsjednuta cinnamon girl make-upom, a već drugi ombré tehnikom nanošenja korektora, dok će dmBio ghee maslac (28,63 kn/3,80 €) razveseliti one koji ovih blagdana obitelj i prijatelje žele počastiti božićnim kolačićima.
7. Za Secret Santu (ispod 10 eura)
Ako radite u uredu, zasigurno ste upoznati s tradicijom Secret Sante. S prelaskom na euro budžet se s 50 kuna možda povećao na 10 eura, ali vaše se muke oko izbora poklona nisu smanjile. Prema Murphyjevom zakonu, šanse da (opet) izvučete kolegu s kojim nikad niste razgovarali poprilično su velike, zbog čega predlažemo da ove godine igrate na sigurno.
Mad Beauty F.R.I.E.N.D.S. maslac za tijelo u šalici (51,99 kn/6,90 €) pomoći će vam da što jasnije prenesete poruku kako ne trebate biti prijatelji da biste bili prijatelji na poslu. Ako procijenite da je vaš kolega više #teamSeinfeld, predlažemo da skoknete do dm online shopa i provjerite i ostale povoljne blagdanske poklon-pakete.
8. Za prijatelje koji su tek kupili stan
Niste se čuli još otkako su vas pitali znate li nekog dobrog majstora za pločice. Obvezali su se na zajednički kredit sljedećih trideset godina, zbog čega već od ovog Božića trebaju početi štedjeti, a vjerojatno su u svoj strci oko preseljenja uspjeli zagubiti i kutiju s božićnim ukrasima. Preporučujemo vam da ih razveselite novim staklenim kuglicama (50,10 kn/6,65 €), po mogućnosti crvenima da razbijete jednoličnost minimalističkog uređenja, koje će posebno cijeniti njihova mačka.
9. Za onu prijateljicu s mačkom
Kad smo kod kućnih ljubimaca, sigurni smo da i vi poznajete nekoga tko svaki dan na Storyju objavi fotografiju svoje mačke. S obzirom na to da je uglavnom riječ o (najboljim) ljudima koji su spremni napraviti sve za svoje ljubimce, predlažemo vam da im poklonite Adventski kalendar za mačke (94,56 kn/12,55 €) i zauvijek osvojite njihovo srce. Za njihovu mačku ne možemo garantirati.

PARIS: For more than a year after rape allegations against French actor Gerard Depardieu, the film industry shrugged its shoulders and the cinematic legend with more than 200 titles to his name continued working.
But the tide appears to be slowly turning.
Mounting accusations of sexual harassment, as well as newly released footage of him making obscene comments, are finally forcing a debate about sexism and sexual violence in French cinema.
In October the 74-year-old actor, known outside France for 1990 comedy “Green Card” and Netflix series “Marseille”, had to put his career on hold.
Six years after the start of the #MeToo movement in Hollywood that brought down producer Harvey Weinstein, the campaign has picked up momentum in France.
“There will be an after-Depardieu, that much is clear,” activist Laura Pertuy said.
“At all levels, in all generations, people are starting to speak up, to say enough is enough, the system can’t continue like this,” said the secretary-general of Collectif 50/50, an association promoting gender equality in film.
Depardieu had long made headlines for antics such as visiting Russia and Belarus, obtaining a Russian passport to protest a planned tax hike in France, or even delaying a 2011 flight after peeing into a bottle that overflowed.
But accusations of sexual harassment or assault, all of which the actor has denied, have also crept into the news.
‘Allowed to be a monster’
French actress Charlotte Arnould in late 2021 publicly accused the actor, a family friend, of raping her twice in 2018 when she was 22 and anorexic. She said she weighed 37 kilos at the time.
He was placed under formal investigation in December 2020 but not jailed.
In April, French investigative website Mediapart published a report in which 13 other women accused him of molesting them between 2004 and 2022.
One of them, actress Helene Darras, in September filed a sexual assault complaint against Depardieu over an incident during a film shoot in 2007.
And a documentary titled “The Fall of the Ogre” aired on Thursday on France 2 showed the actor on a 2018 trip to North Korea repeatedly making explicit sexual comments in the presence of a female interpreter and sexualising a small girl riding a horse.
The latest images have triggered some self-reflection.
“We are all a little guilty,” Marc Missonnier, the head of the syndicate of French cinema producers, told France 2.
“There was a certain tolerance, which was a mistake.”
Actress Anouk Grinberg, who has known Depardieu for decades, spoke out for the first time in October.
“Anyone who has ever worked with him knows he assaults women,” the 60-year-old told Elle magazine, but people did not denounce him for fear it would damage their careers.
“Everybody allowed him to be a monster,” she told France Inter radio on Monday.
She called for an end to “the other monstrosity… people in cinema who are indifferent to the harm done to women, to the humiliation they are subjected to.”
Progress?
Depardieu in October denied any wrongdoing. “Never ever have I abused a woman,” he wrote in Le Figaro newspaper.
After the Mediapart article in April, the distributor and producer of “Umami”, a film starring Depardieu as a chef, dropped him from promotional events. The movie tanked at the box office.
Feminist protests disrupted several of his concerts of songs by late singer Barbara.
“We should not celebrate… Depardieu,” a spokesman for France Televisions, the organisation of public broadcasters, told France 2.
But the group told AFP on Monday that “films with… Depardieu will continue to be bought and broadcast” as they included “masterpieces”. One, Xavier Giannoli’s award-winning “Lost Illusions” (2021), is to be shown on France 2 on Sunday.
Depardieu is not the only figure of French cinema to have been accused of misconduct, but he is the most prominent.
Under pressure from activists and the authorities, several initiatives have popped up to prevent sexual violence.
Film sets are increasingly employing intimacy coaches to ensure actors are comfortable during sex scenes.
And since 2021 the National Cinema Centre (CNC) has conditioned financial aid on sexual harassment prevention courses.
But all is not won.
French actor Adele Haenel in May said she was quitting movie acting to “denounce the general complacency in our industry towards sexual abusers,” several years after accusing a director of assaulting her.
And feminists point out that Dominique Boutonnat, the director of the CNC supposed to be steering the industry onto a better course, has himself been accused of sexually assaulting his 21-year-old godson in 2020, an allegation he denies.
Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty eked out gains on Wednesday following late buying in capital goods, auto and energy shares, as investors adopted a cautious approach ahead of the US Fed interest rate decision to be announced later in the day.
The 30-share BSE Sensex advanced 33.57 points or 0.05 per cent to settle at 69,584.60, driven by late buying. During the day, it fell 450.47 points or 0.64 per cent to 69,100.56.
The Nifty gained 19.95 points or 0.10 per cent to 20,926.35.
Among the Sensex firms, NTPC, Power Grid, Mahindra & Mahindra, Larsen & Toubro, Sun Pharma, State Bank of India, Titan and Tata Steel were the major gainers.
Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finserv, UltraTech Cement and Bajaj Finance were the major laggards.
In Asian markets, Seoul, Shanghai and Hong Kong settled lower, while Tokyo ended in the positive territory.
European markets were trading with gains. The US markets ended in the positive territory on Tuesday.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude declined 0.27 per cent to $73.04 a barrel.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were buyers on Tuesday as they bought equities worth Rs 76.86 crore, according to exchange data.
Snapping its declining trend, retail inflation rose to a three-month high of 5.55 per cent in November on firming food prices, including vegetables and cereals, though it remains within the RBI’s comfort zone of less than 6 per cent.
After a two-day rally, the BSE benchmark fell by 377.50 points or 0.54 per cent to settle at 69,551.03 on Tuesday. The Nifty declined 90.70 points or 0.43 per cent to 20,906.40.
India’s e-retail market is expected to reach over $160 billion by 2028 as more Indian households join the upper middle and upper income consumer cohorts. According to a report released by Bain & Company and Flipkart, the e-retail market is estimated to scale up to $57-$60 billion in 2023, up 17-20 per cent from 2022.
The report noted that this was slower than earlier growth rates due to inflationary pressures that impacted consumer sentiment and reduction in discretionary spending. Stating that overall online spending is still 5-6 per cent of the total retail market, the report titled, ‘How India Shops Online 2023’ noted that there is still massive headroom for growth especially as more Indian households join the upper middle and upper income cohorts. “India’s e-retail market is expected to bounce back to 23-25 per cent growth levels and reach over $160 billion by 2028,” the report added.
Factors such as increased digital access through cheaper data plans and affordability driven by lower logistics costs are also enabling the sector grow. Government initiatives such as the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) will further propel the growth of e-retail in India, the report noted.
Diverse markets
Meanwhile, India’s annual transacting e-retail shopper base is estimated to scale to 240–260 million people in 2023. The growing base of transacting shoppers has also led to the emergence of diverse consumer micro-segments.”Now 7 out of 10 online shoppers reside in Tier 2+ cities, and a third of online shoppers are part of Gen Z/Alpha (born in or after 1997). About a third of online shoppers come from low-income or low-middle-income cohorts,” the report added.
There is also a growing base of mature shoppers spending bigger bucks on online shopping. Shoppers that came onboard e-retail in 2019 have doubled their engagement, frequency of purchases and spending on digital platforms over the past three years, it added.
In the coming decade, the e-retail sector’s growth will be fuelled by the addition of new shoppers and higher online spends per shopper. The report added that e-retail platforms are investing as much in retention as they are in new shopper acquisition.
“India will need multiple models to build, scale and serve the needs of this diverse shopper base, which has varying price sensitivities, service and speed expectations and language requirements,” the report noted.
IAKO je Božić prilika za opuštanje, malo stresa tijekom blagdanske sezone neizbježno je. Kada osjećamo da smo pod stresom, naše tijelo proizvodi prezasićenost hormona stresa, kortizola. On čini da se osjećamo tjeskobno, izazivajući žudnju za slanom, masnom i slatkom hranom. Ovo je vodič za najbolje brzinske zalogaje kako biste izbjegli blagdanski stres i osjećali se najbolje ovog Božića.
Napravite vlastitu poslasticu
Ako žudite za nečim slatkim, domaća grickalica daleko je bolja od one već pripremljene. Hrana s visokim udjelom šećera potiče oslobađanje kortizola, što povećava razinu stresa i tjeskobu. Kako biste zadovoljili želju za slatkim, a da pritom ne dignete hormone stresa, možete napraviti kuglice od datulja i orašastih plodova. One nisu samo ukusne i prikladne za blagdane, već mogu pridonijeti i zdravom živčanom sustavu, preporučuje dijetetičarka Lola Biggs.
Jedite voće i orašaste plodove
Suho voće i orašasti plodovi odličan su međuobrok, ali mnoge gotove mješavine sadrže mnogo dodane soli i šećera, pretvarajući zdravu opciju u nešto što treba izbjegavati. Orašasti plodovi sadrže vlakna i proteine, kao i hranjive tvari za razbijanje stresa poput željeza i nekih vitamina B. Samo pazite da odaberete neslanu varijantu. Odlučite se za sjemenke bundeve jer su bogate magnezijem koji je važan za zdrav živčani sustav”, savjetovala je Biggs za Vogue.
Ne izbjegavajte povrće
Ako se osjećate iscrpljeno, tamnozeleno lisnato povrće potiče proizvodnju stabilizatora raspoloženja u mozgu, dopamina i serotonina. Da biste ih napravili, potrebna vam je samo vrećica kelja, preporučljivo s većim listovima. Listove začinite malo maslinovog ulja i pospite prstohvatom soli prije nego što ih ispečete u pećnici ili fritezi dok ne postanu hrskavi.
Probajte slanutak
Dobra alternativa orašastim plodovima je slanutak. Ne samo da je prepun proteina, već može pomoći i u ublažavanju sezonskog stresa. “Slanutak, pun vitamina i minerala koji se bore protiv stresa, uključujući cink, mangan, kalij, magnezij i vitamine B skupine, također je bogat i L-triptofanom”, objašnjava Biggs. “Vašem tijelu je ovo potrebno za proizvodnju neurotransmitera koji reguliraju raspoloženje.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Odlučite se za voće
Uz istraživanja koja pokazuju da vitamin C može pomoći u snižavanju razine kortizola, grickanje voća s vitaminom C odlična je ideja tijekom blagdana. Agrumi i jagode izvrsne su opcije.
“Borovnice su bogate flavonoidnim antioksidansima koji imaju snažno protuupalno i neuroprotektivno djelovanje. Oni su odlični za sveukupno zdravlje, ali se također pokazalo da pomažu u borbi protiv upale izazvane kortizolom”, rekla je Biggs.
Odabir zdrave hrane tijekom božićnih blagdana pridonosi općem zdravlju. Pametnim odabirom namirnica moguće je održati ravnotežu i tijekom blagdanske sezone.

OPĆE je poznato da su neke namirnice loše za pse, a upravo se čokolada smatra jednom od najgorih. Zato u blagdansko vrijeme vlasnici pasa moraju biti na dodatnom oprezu kako njihovi ljubimci ne bi pojeli ovaj slatkiš.
Koliko god se trudili da se to ne dogodi, stvarnost je ponekad drugačija i psi pojedu upravo one namirnice koje su jako loše za njih. Savjet je da ljubimca odvedete veterinaru odmah nakon što primijetite da je pojeo čokoladu.
Na ovu se temu osvrnula i trenerica za pse Susan Garret, koja je istaknula četiri važne stvari koje morate reći veterinaru ako je vaš ljubimac pojeo čokoladu.
Dva najvažnija pitanja na koja morate odgovoriti veterinaru su prije koliko vremena je pas pojeo čokoladu i koliko čokolade je pojeo. Odgovori na ta pitanja važni su kako bi veterinar mogao odrediti najbolji način djelovanja. Isto tako, veterinaru će koristiti ako zna kakvu je vrstu čokolade pas pojeo jer postoji razlika u štetnosti koje uzrokuju.
Što je čokolada tamnija, to je i opasnija za pse, ističe Garret.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Posljednje pitanje na koje je važno odgovoriti veterinaru jest koliko pas ima kilograma. Ako je pas manji, vrlo je vjerojatno da će čokolada na njega utjecati jače nego što bi djelovala na veće i teže pse.
Zašto je čokolada opasna za pse?
Iako je većina ljudi svjesna da je čokolada opasna za pse, malo nas zapravo zna zašto. Garret je u objavi objasnila da čokolada sadrži teobromin, koji psi ne mogu lako probaviti. Dodala je i da je čokolada za pse opasnija što je tamnija te da može uzrokovati trovanje.
Također, čokolade ponekad sadrže ksilitol, koji se koristi kao zamjena za šećer. Ksilitol je nevjerojatno toksičan za pse, stoga biste ga odmah trebali odvesti veterinaru ako je konzumirao hranu koja ga sadrži, ističe Garret.

MUMBAI: Popular South Korean band Tomorrow x Together (TXT) and American trio Jonas Brothers are set to release “Do It Like That”, their collaborative digital single, on July 7.
According to a press release, the makers said the song “promises to be the ultimate summer anthem of the year”.
After teasing fans for a few days, the two music groups confirmed their collaboration on social media on Wednesday night.
“Tomorrow x Together and Jonas Brothers will release the digital single, ‘Do It Like That’, on Friday, July 7, 2023,” BigHit Music, the agency behind TXT, posted an update on the global fan community forum Weverse.
Nick Jonas, one of three members of the Jonas Brothers, took to Twitter to update fans and followers about the new song.
“This is gonna be fun.
Let’s get it @txt_bighit! #DoItLikeThat drops July 7th! #TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER,” the vocalist wrote.
While TXT is a quintet comprising members of Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and HueningKai, Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas are the other two members of the American band.
L G Balakrishnan Brothers (LGB) manufactures roller chains and undertakes metal forming, including warm & cold forging, fine blanking and machined parts.
With the Indian two wheeler industry in a cusp of an entrenched slowdown – barring robust festive sales this year – LGB’s transmission business bore the brunt of this slowdown as it posted that revenues grew by an abysmal 3.7 per cent in the first half of current fiscal when compared with year ago period.

Yet its earnings barely swooned for it grew by an astonishing 17.1 per cent thus resulting in 200 bps expansion in margins presumably due to meltdown in raw material prices.
The stock currently trades at 15x FY24e EPS of ₹85.03 and 12.9x FY25e EPS of ₹98.90. In view of scarcely robust growth in the two-wheeler industry in the first half of current fiscal, we have trimmed down our current year earnings estimates by some 8 per cent.
Earnings may gain momentum next fiscal though not without risk of mounting cost pressures. Capital allocation holds key for the pile of liquid assets has shown little signs of diminishing. Balancing odds, we assign “accumulate” rating on the stock with revised target of ₹1,484 (previous target: ₹739) based on 15x FY25e earnings, over a period of 9-12 months.
At a time when the world is racked by conflicts and violence, Pantone’s colour for 2024 — a gentle shade of peachy orange — is non confrontational and neutral. The influential consultancy, regarded as the world’s biggest authority on colour, said it chose the hue, which it has termed as ‘Peach Fuzz’, because it is a nurturing and compassionate shade.
“At a time of turmoil in many aspects of our lives, our need for nurturing, empathy and compassion grows ever stronger as does our imaginings of a more peaceful future. We are reminded that a vital part of living a full life is having the good health, stamina and strength to enjoy it,” said Laurie Pressman, Vice President of Pantone Color Institute.
Colour of the year
Pantone’s colour of the year is eagerly awaited by designers, marketers and the creative industry at large as it shapes decisions in fashion, advertising, product packaging, interiors and a host of industries. The subtle and subdued peachy hue of 2024 could not be a greater contrast to the vibrant, vigorous magenta of 2023.
“In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a colour radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless,” explained Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone’s executive director, in a statement.
Mixed reactions
The colour has evoked mixed reactions. Marketers feel it could be a challenging shade to work with as it lacks attitude and will not stand out. On the other hand, the beauty and cosmetics industry has welcomed it, as the earthy notes and warm tones work well for them.
Advertising professionals are also a bit dubious. “By itself, it is not a strong colour for me personally. In isolation, it’s quiet, gentle and a bit too feminine. Soft and pillowy. Looks very good and warm on furry toys and cuddly things,” says Prathap Suthan, Managing Partner and Chief Creative Officer at Bang in the Middle.
According to graphic designers, it’s a soft attitude colour and may not work well in print, though will be good in fashion and interiors.

FRANK je crni labrador koji je znao da je u nevolji kad se zaprljao vani, pa je pokušao neprimjetno ući u kuću kao da se ništa ne događa i tako nasmijao ljude do suza. Pas se polako kretao kao da vlasnica tako neće primijetiti kako su mu šape zamrljane blatom, a vlasnica je uz video napisala: “Frank misli da je lukav (ustvari i je)… I, ne, ovo nije usporena snimka”.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“On može raditi što god želi”, “Predivan je, pusti ga da uživa” i “Pokrenimo peticiju da Frank može ući u kuću bez obzira koliko se zablati vani”, neki su od komentara.

DANAS je na plenarnoj sjednici Europskog parlamenta u Strassbourgu usvojena Direktiva o medu. Za nju se kao izvjestiteljica europskih socijalista za strategiju “Od polja do stola” već dugo zalagala Biljana Borzan koja Direktivu smatra velikom pobjedom.
Odzvonilo je zloupotrebi oznaka
“Ovo je ‘točka na i’ puta koji sam započela s tadašnjom zastupnicom Ružom Tomašić u žestokoj borbi za bolji i kvalitetniji med tijekom glasanja o strategiji ‘Od polja do stola’. Dosadašnji sustav, odnosno oznaka ‘mješavina EU/ne-EU meda’, godinama se zloupotrebljavao kako bi se uvozio i prodavao patvoreni med”, izjavila je Borzan.
Pojasnila je kako će nove oznake na pakiranju sadržavati popis svih zemalja iz kojih je došao med prema razmjeru udjela s jasno istaknutom oznakom na deklaraciji. Dosadašnja praksa po kojoj je europski med mogao sadržavati 1% europskog i 99% patvorenog meda odlazi u povijest.
Kupci tako nisu mogli znati kupuju li med koji je većinski proizvoden u Europskoj Uniji ili izvan nje, uz rizik da kupuju proizvod koji je samo imitacija meda.
Direktiva štiti potrošače i pčelare
“Pokazalo se kako su prevare s patvorinama postale sve sofisticiranije i kako je bilo sve teže s dosadašnjom regulativom spriječiti prevare potrošača”, rekla je Borzan.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Dodala je kako će ova Direktiva zaštititi ne samo potrošače, već i pčelare koji proizvode pravi, domaći med. Bit će zaštićeni od prevaranata koji su prodavali šećerni sirup niske kvalitete umjesto pravog meda.
Borzan navodi kako, od 123 strane tvrtke koje izvoze med na tržište EU, njih 70 stavlja šećerni sirup u svoje proizvode. Najviše tih uvoznika je iz Kine, njih 20. Slijede proizvodi iz Ukrajine, Argentine, Brazila, Meksika i Turske.
Potrebno je postrožiti inspekcijski nadzor
“Došlo je do toga da je šansa kako ćete biti prevareni pri kupnji meda u trgovini skoro 50:50, što je nedopustivo,” kazala je Borzan. “Osim novih pravila za označavanje porijekla, mora se postrožiti i inspekcijski nadzor”.
Zbog sve sofisticiranijih metoda patvorenja meda, inspekcije trebaju biti adekvatno opremljene kako bi mogle detektirati ultrafiltrirani “med” u kojemu gotovo nema peludi, te proizvode tretirane na visokim temperaturama iznad 40 stupnjeva, odnosno koji se ubrzano proizvodi umjetnim isparavanjem.
“Tome konačno stajemo na kraj”, zaključila je Borzan.

When actor Barun Sobti was offered Asur, he thought the script was too cerebral. Nevertheless, he followed his gut and said yes. It turned out to be one of his best career decisions. The 2020 thriller series by Oni Sen has been called one of the finest Indian shows by critics and audiences alike. Its recently released second season too has been received well.
A few days before the second season hit JioCinema on June 1, Sobti recalls being asked if he thought it was at par with its predecessor. He had said, “It’s much better.” The confidence meter, however, wasn’t this high when Season 1 dropped three years ago. As much as the actor, who plays a CBI officer on the hunt for a serial killer, loved the script, he thought the show was “too niche”. “I was sceptical about its popularity,” he says. The series also stars Arshad Warsi, Ridhi Dogra and Anupriya Goenka in lead roles.
a poster of Asur 2
The latest season notched up the excitement levels, both for the cast and the audience, thanks to the introduction of a “highly evolved and intelligent antagonist”, played by model-turned-actor Gaurav Arora. “That meant the protagonists (Warsi and Sobti) had to keep pace with him. If the first season was slightly more emotional, I think this one is more dialled-up on the intellectual front,” he adds.
The 38-year-old, who was also seen recently in the OTT series Badtameez Dil, rose to fame in 2011 with the romantic drama Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon on television. He played a brooding businessman, a role that made him a household name. When he made the switch to the big screen, however, things didn’t pan out the way he wanted. “My films didn’t work,” he states simply. Main Aur Mr Right (2014) and Tu Hai Mera Sunday (2016) bombed at the box office, although the actor’s performance in the latter was appreciated. “I was a little discouraged, but the OTT revolution came as a godsend for me. I think I manifested it in India,” says the actor, who made the shift to OTT in 2017 with the web series Tanhaiyan, followed by The Great Indian Dysfunctional Family (2018).
Asur, in a way, reaffirmed his capability as an actor who can play complex characters and give nuanced performances. But, why did he leave TV, a space that gave him his early taste of stardom? Sobti admits he got bored. “I was clinically diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) five years ago, but even before that, I knew I couldn’t keep doing the same thing for too long,” he says, adding, “I want to do work––whether in films or the OTT space––that is good art; stories that resonate with the audience for their originality. Some of the projects I have done so far and some in the pipeline are the kinds I have always wanted to do. So far, I seem to be making the right choices most of the time.” Next on the horizon for the actor is the Netflix murder mystery Kohrra, a period drama titled Donali and a coming-of-age drama, Bawandar.
Ask him if he ever sees himself returning to his old stomping grounds of television, and the actor says, “Probably, if the programming goes from daily to weekly. That’s when the writing will get better. Without good writing, there is no scope for better direction or acting.”

In contrast, the US inflation outlook remains stable, which could influence the upcoming US Fed policy,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.39 per cent to $76.33 a barrel on Tuesday.

The Nifty gained 27.70 points or 0.13 per cent to settle just below the 21,000 level at 20,997.10, its all-time closing high.
The 2024 Instagram Trend Talk is out and it highlights how Gen Z will drive culture in 2024. The insights are derived from a survey carried out by the trend forecasting firm WGSN and Instagram, spanning the United States, UK, Brazil, India and South Korea.
On food, the report says Gen Z in India are experimental — from ayurvedic ingredients to vegan products, plant-based meats and adaptogens, they are excited to try diverse food and ingredients.
Contrary to perception that youngsters are not career focused, the survey says in 2024, Gen Z in India have ranked staying healthy, exploring career paths and travelling as their top priorities. Unlike other nations, Gen Z in India exhibit a stronger focus on their career pursuits.
The report says 44 per cent of Gen Z in India are interested in DIY (do-it-yourself) and wearing clothes in unexpected ways. A fourth of GenZ said their favourite beauty trend is getting a new hairstyle.
Virtually every Gen Z in India aligns with a specific fandom, ranging from music aficionados like the BTS army, Swifties, AR Rahman, Shreya Ghoshal and Anirudh, to gaming enthusiasts invested in Minecraft, Fortnite, Call of Duty and Roblox. Sports-wise, their affiliations span the Indian Cricket Team, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings.
Nine out of 10 GenZ in India consider themselves part of a fandom.
India has the highest percentage of sports super-fans, as compared to Gen Z from other countries.
ČESTO žudimo za lošom hranom. Studija iz 2021., objavljena u časopisu Neuron, pokazala je da jedenje visokokalorične hrane dok smo pod stresom aktivira takozvani centar za nagrađivanje u mozgu, što nas navodi na brzu hranu. Znanstvenici su identificirali dio mozga nazvan lateralna habenula, koji dovodi do skokova hormona dobrog osjećaja – dopamina. Ovaj hormon igra važnu ulogu u kontroli pamćenja, raspoloženja, učenja i koncentracije.
Jedenje nezdrave hrane pod pritiskom može učiniti da se osjećamo još više pod stresom zbog negativnih reakcija u tijelu, u rasponu od ubrzanja otkucaja srca do povišenog krvnog tlaka. Evo nekoliko savjeta kako jesti pametnije pod stresom.
Čips zamijenite orašastim plodovima
Sol iz čipsa povećava otpuštanje hormona stresa na HPA (hipotalamus-hipofiza-nadbubrežna žlijezda) osi, što može dovesti do povišenog krvnog tlaka, osjećaja crvenila i bržeg otkucaja srca, objasnila je nutricionistica TC Callis za Telegraph. Orašasti plodovi su daleko bolji izbor sve dok su neslani.
“Tvari u orašastim plodovima mogu pomoći našem tijelu da bolje upravlja stresom, poboljšavaju zdravlje crijeva i promiču zdravlje mozga”, kaže stručnjakinja za prehranu dr. Gabrielle Lyon.
Umjesto kroasana, jedite bobičasto voće
Nije tajna da visoko prerađeni ugljikohidrati dovode do pretilosti i povezanih stanja, kao što je dijabetes tipa 2. “Bobičasto voće sadrži ogromne količine antioksidativnih polifenola i flavonoida, koji nas štite od hormona stresa kao što je kortizol. Najjači flavonoid je antocijanin, koji bobicama daje tamnocrvenu boju”, rekla je nutricionistica Callis.
Slatkiše zamijenite grožđem
“Za razliku od čokolade, koja može biti korisna, slatkiši ne sadrže ništa osim šećera i aditiva”, kaže Callis. “Stoga idete prema skoku šećera, padu, skoku, padu – i putu prema pretilosti i dijabetesu tipa 2”, objasnila je Callis.
S druge strane, crveno grožđe sadrži šećer koji pruža trenutni užitak, ali ne uzrokuje ovaj tobogan glukoze na isti način.

Odaberite čaj umjesto kave
Prema Susan Bowling, psihologinji s klinike Cleveland u SAD-u, kofein je za nas loš. “Prirodni učinci kofeina stimuliraju mnoštvo osjeta, kao što su brže kucanje srca, zagrijavanje tijela, ubrzanje disanja, sve stvari koje oponašaju tjeskobu i stres”, kaže Bowling. “Psihološki je vašem umu teško prepoznati da to nije stres jer se osjeća isto.”
Čaj, s druge strane, posebno zeleni, ima puno flavonoida koji razbijaju hormone stresa, rekla je Callis.
Mliječnu čokoladu zamijenite tamnom
“Čokolada je pomalo čudna”, kaže Callis. “Iako ima puno masti i šećera, što je loše iz gore navedenih razloga, sadrži kemikalije teofilin i teobromin, koje smanjuju stres i potiču proizvodnju hormona dobrog osjećaja serotonina”, dodaje. Ako ipak osjetite potrebu za kockicom čokolade, Callis preporučuje tamnu čokoladu koja ima manje masti i šećera, a više teofilina i teobromina.
Smanjite unos alkohola
Unos alkohola nije dobra ideja, kaže Callis. “Alkohol nikome ne čini uslugu na bilo kojoj razini”, rekla je. “Detoksikacija od alkohola troši B-vitamine koji su potrebni za rad mozga i proizvodnju energije. Njihov manjak pojačava stres, a imat ćete i poremećen san jer se suočavate s dehidracijom nakon pijenja”, dodala je.
Ukratko, izbjegavajte namirnice bogate šećerom, kofeinom i zasićenim mastima kako biste smanjili stres. Umjesto toga, usredotočite se na uravnoteženu prehranu s voćem, povrćem i zdravim proteinima te unosite dovoljno tekućine. Svjesni prehrambeni izbori igraju ključnu ulogu u očuvanju emocionalne ravnoteže tijekom stresnih razdoblja.

Lana Del Rey’s highly-anticipated Glastonbury set hit the headlines before she even travelled to Worthy Farm.
And, after her gig last night, the 38-year-old’s performance has continued to dominate the Twitter-sphere and those visiting Glastonbury this weekend as she arrived on stage 30-minutes late and was cut off midway through her set, according to The Mirror UK.
The American singer-songwriter had a war of words with the popular festival’s organisers in the lead-up to the big weekend.
Lana appeared to be angered when she spotted a ‘mix-up’ with the line-up announcement. The original line-up post listed Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses, Elton John and Lizzo before listing the remaining acts in alphabetical order. Lana’s name was below more than 20 other acts and the singer complained the poster failed to recognise she was headlining the Other Stage.
Blue Jeans singer Lana was due to take to The Other Stage and perform her headline set at 10.30 pm.
Eager crowds began to gather around the performance area to watch the singer – but festival-goers began to grow impatient when he didn’t show up on time. Fans even threatened to leave if she didn’t show up within good time – but she made her audience wait and appeared on stage after a whopping 30 minutes which resulted in the crowd greeting her with boos.
Lana grovelled to festival-goers as she appeared on stage: “I’m so f**king late that I am about to rush this set today.
Midway through the set Lana was filmed having her hair done as a stylist came onto the stage to change her locks as she continued to perform.
According to The Guardian, Del Rey’s microphone and video screens were then suddenly switched off as she fell to her knees and removed her in-ear monitors.
The abrupt end came just an hour after she walked on stage for one of the most highly anticipated performances of the weekend before a crowd of tens of thousands.
Del Rey then climbed down from the stage barefoot to sing an impromptu a cappella version of Summertime Sadness to fans close enough to be able to hear her.
However, the curtailed set left many fans disappointed.
Today it was the turn of BSE Sensex to record historical milestone after NSE Nifty scaling the 21,000 peak on Friday. The BSE Sensex breached the 70,000-mark for the first time on Monday, hitting an all-time high of 70,057.83 as foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) continue with strong inflows.
However, the Sensex surrendered some gains to close at 69,928.53, up 102.93 points or 0.15 per cent. The NSE Nifty50 gained 27.70 points or 0.13 per cent to 20,997.10. FIIs bought equities worth ₹3,632.30 crore, per exchange’s provisional data.
According to market experts, strong domestic economic growth and return of FIIs will drive the market higher in the coming months. The sustained gains helped the market-cap of Indian stocks rule above ₹4-trillion mark.
Top gainer, losers
Within the Sensex constituents, UltraTech Cement (3.14 per cent), Power Grid Corporation of India (1.05 per cent), Nestle India (0.91 per cent) and HCL Tech (0.87 per cent) were the top gainers. Axis Bank (1.26 per cent), Mahindra and Mahindra (0.99 per cent), Hindustan Unilever (0.67 per cent) and Maruti (0.59 per cent) were the major laggards.

Sunny Agrawal, Head Equity Fundamental Research, SBI Securities, said, “Going by the historical m-cap to GDP ratio of 80-120 per cent, India’s m-cap is likely to hit $7 trillion by or prior to 2030 (assuming 100 per cent m-cap/GDP ratio). The market cap can increase due to increase in net valuation of the already listed universe and new listings in the form of IPO.”

KADA srčani mišić postane preslab ili ukočen te stoga teže pumpa krv, suočavamo se sa stanjem poznatim kao zatajenje srca. To je situacija kada srce i dalje radi, ali treba neki oblik podrške. Kardiolog i povjerenik Zaklade Heart Cells Anthony Mathur vjeruje da bi u takvim situacijama mogla pomoći terapija matičnim stanicama.
“Kardiolog može uzeti matične stanice iz pacijentove koštane srži ili masnog tkiva. Nakon obrade stanica one se vraćaju u srce kako bi pomogle u popravljanju oštećenog tkiva i omogućile srcu normalno funkcioniranje”, pojasnio je.
Za razliku od transplantacije srca, gdje se novo srce donora ugrađuje u tijelo pacijenta, terapija matičnim stanicama predstavlja manji rizik od odbacivanja.
No, koji su uopće rani znakovi zatajenja srca?
“Jedan primjetan pokazatelj je osjećaj nedostatka daha, osobito tijekom tjelesne aktivnosti, ali i kada mirujete. Drugi ključni pokazatelj potencijalnog zatajenja srca je neuobičajena razina umora i slabosti”, kaže profesor Mathur za Express.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Pri zatajenju srce može naići na izazove u opskrbi tijela odgovarajućim kisikom i hranjivim tvarima, što rezultira nedovoljnom opskrbom krvlju vitalnih organa i mišića. To može dovesti do osjećaja iznimnog umora.
“Osim toga, oticanje je također rani znak jer tijelo može zadržavati tekućinu, uzrokujući oticanje nogu, gležnjeva, stopala ili trbuha. Nepravilni ili brzi otkucaji srca još su jedan znak ranog upozorenja na koji treba obratiti pozornost”, naveo je.
“Na kraju, uporan kašalj praćen iskašljavanjem krvi i zvukom zviždanja može ukazivati na nakupljanje tekućine u plućima. Rano prepoznavanje ovih znakova ključno je za pravovremeno traženje pomoći”, upozorio je profesor.
Iako ovi simptomi mogu biti povezani s raznim zdravstvenim problemima, ako potraju ili se pogoršaju, preporučljivo je konzultirati se s liječnikom opće prakse.

VEĆ smo pokrili neke od prvih božićnih reklama koje su izašle ranije, još prošlog mjeseca, a sada se posvećujemo blagdanskim reklamama maloprodajnih trgovačkih lanaca i drogerija. Lidl, Konzum, Kaufland, Plodine, Bipa, dm… izbacili su svoje božićne reklame, a vi nam u anketi niže recite koja vam je od njih najbolja.
Kaufland
Kaufland ima nekoliko božićnih reklama. Ova prva koju smo izdvojili prikazuje blagdansku ponudu u Kauflandovoj trgovini, a kroz naraciju ugodnog starijeg glasa. Osim toga u reklami se može vidjeti i bogati blagdanski stol obitelji nakon obavljene nabave. Druga reklama je više humoristična i poziva kupce da u Kauflandu nađu sve što im treba.
Lidl
Lidlova božićna reklama je globalna i ista kao i u drugim zemljama gdje Lidl ima svoje trgovine. U svojoj reklami Lidl želi podsjetiti gledatelje na golem utjecaj koji mala djela dobrote mogu imati tijekom blagdanske sezone. Maloprodajni oglas počinje ljupkim rakunom koji kroz prozor gleda malog dječaka i njegovu obitelj kako ukrašavaju božićno drvce.
Konzum
Konzumova reklama prati obitelj koja se priprema za Božić. U njoj se može vidjeti priprema hrane za blagdanski stol, kupovina poklona, kićenje bora, postavljanje lampica i sl. Neki su u komentarima na YouTubeu istaknuli da im se posebno sviđa pjesma. “Jako lijepo, i krasna pjesma”, “Ovo je najbolji video ikad”, neki su od njih.
Plodine
U ovogodišnjoj božićnoj reklami od Plodina glavnu ulogu ima Marko Tolja koji pjesmom i plesom prikazuje blagdansku ponudu u ovoj trgovini, od hrane do igračaka. Nekima se reklama svidjela, drugima nije. “Najbolja reklama”, “Prefora”, “Najbolji džingl svemira”, “Koja glupa reklama”, neki su od komentara na YouTubeu.
Studenac
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
U božićnoj reklami trgovine Studenac mogu se vidjeti neka poznata lica uključujući Maju Šuput, Gorana Bogdana i Marijanu Batinić. Oni pregledavaju ponudu trgovine, jure i biraju darove. “Sretni susjedi, sretni blagdani”, poruka je ove kampanje.
Bipa
Bipina blagdanska reklama je poput božićnog crtića. Kroz reklamu, osim što pozivaju kupce da pronađu poklone u Bipi, komuniciraju i “jedinstvene priče, iskustva i mogućnosti koje svatko ima u sebi i koja svijet čine posebnim mjestom”.
dm
dm isto ima par blagdanskih reklama posvećenih sezoni darivanja. Prvi je lista želja koja je pa, ogromna. Druga poziva kupce da potraže darove upravo u dm-u.

LOS ANGELES: Angela Bassett may have gone home empty-handed at the Oscars in March, but the two-time nominee will be getting a golden statuette this year after all and in very good company too.
In November, Bassett, Mel Brooks and film editor Carol Littleton will receive honorary Oscars at the Governors Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Monday.
Michelle Satter, the founding senior director of the Sundance Institute’s Artist Programs, will also be given the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the untelevised event.
“The Academy’s Board of Governors is thrilled to honour four trailblazers who have transformed the film industry and inspired generations of filmmakers and movie fans,” Janet Yang, the academy’s president, said in a statement.
Most recipients of the Academy’s honorary awards have not won competitive Oscars.
Brooks, is an exception, however, having won an original screenplay Oscar for ‘The Producers’. At the ceremony, in 1969, he said he wanted to thank the Academy of arts sciences and money for this wonderful award.
In his speech, which had the audience in stitches, he also thanked Gene Wilder three times.
The 96-year-old, who began his career writing for Sid Caesar’s ‘Your Show of Shows’, and over the next 70 years would write, direct, act, produce for film, television and Broadway and write books, including a recent memoir, is among the rare breed of EGOT-winners.
“Mel Brooks lights up our hearts with his humour, and his legacy has made a lasting impact on every facet of entertainment,” Yang said.
Bassett, whose credits include ‘Boyz N the Hood’, ‘Malcolm X’, ‘Waiting to Exhale’ and ‘How Stella Got Her Groove Back’, received her first Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Tina Turner in ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ and her second earlier this year for playing the grieving queen in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’.
The 64-year-old told the AP earlier this year that this moment has been so special, it’s been a highlight of his career.
Yang said in a statement,” Across her decades-long career, Angela Bassett has continued to deliver transcendent performances that set new standards in acting.”
Littleton’s name might not be as immediately recognisable as the celebrities being honoured alongside but has been working behind the scenes with top filmmakers for nearly five decades.
The 81-year-old Oklahoma native worked frequently with both Lawrence Kasdan and Jonathan Demme, editing films like ‘Body Heat’, ‘The Big Chill’, ‘Swimming to Cambodia’ and ‘The Manchurian Candidate’.
She received her first and only Oscar nomination for ‘E.T.The Extra-Terrestrial’, the only film she’s edited for Steven Spielberg.
The honorary awards are given,” to honour extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.”
Satter, meanwhile, has led the Sundance Institute’s famed artist programs for more than 40 years, helping filmmakers at the earliest stages of their careers, from Paul Thomas Anderson to Ryan Coogler.
The Governors Awards will be held on November 18 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Equity benchmark Sensex breached a new milestone of 70,000 points before closing 102 points higher, while Nifty settled just shy of the 21,000 mark on Monday, driven by gains in banking, IT and metal shares.
After a gap-up opening, the 30-share index rose to a record intra-day high of 70,057.83 points. Later, it shed some of the gains to close at 69,928.53 points, showing gains of 102.93 points or 0.15 per cent.
As many as 18 Sensex shares closed in the green, 11 declined, and one settled unchanged.
The broader Nifty also hit its record trading high of 21,026.10 amid early gains in global markets. The 50-share index gained 27.70 points or 0.13 per cent to settle just below the 21,000 level at 20,997.10, its all-time closing high.
Among Sensex shares, Ultratech Cement jumped the most by 3.04 per cent. Nestle rose by 1.3 per cent, Power Grid by 1.05 per cent and Tata Motors by 0.85 per cent. Gains in IndusInd Bank, HCL Tech, TCS, Tech Mahindra, NTPC, ITC, JSW Steel and Tata Steel helped the barometer scale a fresh high.

Axis Bank fell the most by 1.26 per cent, M&M by 0.99 per cent and Hindustan Unilever by 0.67 per cent. Maruti, Bajaj Finserv, Bharti Airtel and HDFC Bank and Infosys also declined.
“The market crossed 70,000 levels today, while the broader market outperformed the main indices. However, profit booking was evident at higher levels as traders anticipated clues from tomorrow’s significant data releases on inflation from the US and India, as well as the IIP,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said.
Investors will be closely watching the upcoming FOMC meeting tomorrow for clues about potential future rate cuts while expecting to keep rates the same this time, Nair added.
Meanwhile, Asian markets were mixed. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 0.8 per cent and the Shanghai Composite added 0.7 per cent while Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index gained 1.5 per cent.
In Europe, Germany’s DAX was unchanged, and the CAC 40 in Paris gained 0.2 per cent. In London, the FTSE 100 was down 0.4 per cent.
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have turned bullish, investing ₹26,505 crore into domestic equities in the first six trading sessions of December.
Black Friday sales are coming in for considerable attention. The uniquely American retail phenomenon that has now been adopted by marketers world over, saw some twists this year. Indian online retailer Nykaa stood out from the clutter by marketing the day as Pink Friday. Meanwhile, sustainability warriors and climate change activists are coming down heavily on the consumerist day. According to UK-based refuse company Waste Managed, Black Friday sales come at considerable cost to the planet. It says that last year’s Black Friday sales generated 4,29,000 metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions from product deliveries alone. And, also people buy unnecessary things that they live to regret later and dumps get lined with Black Friday’s poor purchases.
Some smart brands are now creating anti-Black Friday campaigns, taking an active stance against the consumerist day. They could well win in the long term.
TRENERICA Jenna Collins, koja ima 179.000 pretplatnika na YouTubeu, kaže da postoji vježba koja “garantirano” zateže trbuh. U videu, koji je skupio više od 2.5 milijuna pregleda, pojasnila je što uopće znači zategnuti trbuh.
“Zatezanje se odnosi na vaše trbušne mišiće. Ako su slabi, to ne samo da otežava obavljanje svakodnevnih aktivnosti i kretanje, već dolazi do njihovog opuštanja što može uzrokovati pojavu trbuščića”, rekla je.

Kao druge moguće uzroke većeg trbuha, navela je nadutost te višak sala uzrokovan lošom prehranom ili prevelikim kalorijskim unosom.
“Da biste dobili definiran trbuh, bitno je smanjiti postotak tjelesne masti. Višak masnoće jedini je razlog zbog kojeg ne vidite svoje trbušne mišiće. Morate unositi manje kalorija nego što ih sagorijevate na dnevnoj bazi kako biste se riješili sala”, pojasnila je Collins.
Ako ostvarujete kalorijski deficit i zdravo se hranite, u svoju fitness rutinu dodajte vježbu koju preporučuje ova trenerica. Njen savjet je da je radite čim ujutro ustanete iz kreveta i brzo ćete vidjeti rezultate.
Kako se izvodi vježba?
Duboko udahnite, a zatim izdahnite.
Nakon što izdahnete, uvucite donji dio trbuha.
Zadržite što duže možete pa opustite trbuh.
Pokušajte napraviti deset do 12 ponavljanja.

Potrošači novcem sude reklame
Mnoge smo reklame upamtili, bilo zato što su dobre, bilo zato što su užasne. Citirali smo ih, smijali im se, hvalili ih, kudili ih. No, ono što je važno jest da nismo ostali ravnodušni na njih. Upamtili smo ih i prepoznali brend iza njih.

Koja vas je od ovih reklama oduševila, a koja vam je bila apsolutno užasna? Možete dati pozitivan i negativan glas.

You have spoken about the need to fight poverty, bring in educational reforms and battle financial frauds. As president of Columbia University, how do you plan to help students find the balance?
People who tend to want jobs that are about doing good tend to be very optimistic and those who tend to do the jobs that are about preventing bad things from happening often are great warriors. I have had the good fortune of doing both. For younger people, I think a lot of it depends on their personality. And where they’re drawn. My instinct is to want to be the person who does good but, on the other hand, I have learned through my experience in these various jobs that sometimes preventing bad things from happening is even more important. For instance, the economic progress was destroyed by the financial crisis in 2008 . We lost decades of development because of covid in terms of students missing out on schooling, in terms of health outcomes. So, preventing bad things from happening is very important.
How do you plan to build on your experiences gained from working in the World Bank , International Monetary Fund and bring changes at Columbia?
If you look at the world today, it’s a very polarized world. I think, universities have a responsibility to be a place that teach students how to overcome these divisions and learn the skills of debate with different points of view. Education can help bridge some of those divides. I want Columbia to be a place that teaches those skills. The second thing is, I think, universities have solutions to many of the world’s problems. We can be the place that comes up with some of the new technologies, that will help us make addressing climate change more affordable, to use renewable energy on a more consistent basis. At Columbia, we are investing in many of those new ideas that will help solve those problems. We need to be a place that engages with the world. One of the strengths of a place like Columbia is where we are an Ivy League, but we are not an ivory tower.
Columbia University has been drawn into the controversy regarding protests on the back of Israel-Palestine war. There are reports that the protests were not sanctioned. What is your take on this?
A university in a place where free enquiry can happen, and it is the product of those debates that results in the best ideas. People will hear ideas that will make them uncomfortable, but that discomfort is often a source of creativity, and similarly protest is part of free speech and students should be allowed to protest and express their views. For us, the only constraint is that around safety and physical security, because we cannot permit violence. So, peaceful protest is an inherent part of an university.
Do you speak to the heads of other universities, as polarized views reach campuses?
Definitely. We talk all the time, compare notes and learn from each other’s experience. A response to a lot of the polarization that we see is more education, not less. I think education. A lot of the hatred comes from ignorance, when they have seen something on social media and go down the rabbit hole. So, we have to do a better job of education. Often, when people go to universities, it is the most diverse environment they’ve ever been. They have grown up at home with their family and their community, and it tends to be very homogeneous. When they are thrown into university, they encounter people from very different backgrounds with very different views from all over the world. And with very different interests. And the transition is a big challenge, and one of the things we need to do at a university is to help make that transition. To give them the tools that when you meet someone who comes from this very different background, how do you learn about them? How do you overcome your own prejudices?
How are you preparing students on the impact of AI on their lives?
Like any major technological innovation, AI will bring many good things, but also carries many risks. And the challenge is how to get the balance right between the two. There is a huge amount of work being done on very exciting opportunities like how AI can accelerate the development of new drugs to treat illnesses or using AI to find quicker solutions to climate change problems etc. Will it increase unemployment? Will it increase misinformation in our society and exacerbate polarisation? Will it exclude certain people? Those I think are some of the risks.
How can one mitigate the risks around AI?
Misinformation is a very big risk. I do think we’ve reached a stage now where we need regulation. Many countries are trying to figure out what that means and how? How do you regulate while still protecting from speech. But I think over the years ahead, we will see a big shift towards greater management. Risk to information is a fundamental threat to democracy in our society.
Should social media get regulated?
Some on social media in terms of having a bit more accountability for companies that spread misinformation. Some of the regulation on how AI is developed. Then there is equity and fairness. For instance, there is technology whereby surgeons can instruct robots in surgical procedure which made surgeries more reliable, affordable etc, but they found out that the robots were trained on male voices and it didn’t work when a female voice instructed. A small example of inequality built into technology.
Do you see changes in attention span, boredom seeping into students at the university?
Yes, we are seeing a little bit of that. The amount of time spent in reading a document has gone down. Faculty is adjusting by packaging the teachings in smaller units so that it is easier to digest. Another faculty member gives the students an essay to write and then shows them the ChatGPT version. And so here’s the chat GP produced do something better (something missing in the sentence). I do worry about social media and the anonymity of it. That people say (horrible things) to each other in an anonymous state.
How is Columbia University working on the impact of climate change?
For people who understand climate issues, and so we want to be the best professional school. Going ahead, lawyers, business people, people in industry, people in government, people in NGOs will need the skills because we are going to have to deal with the consequences of climate change for many decades to come. So, we’re developing educational programs, master’s programs on issues around climate. We are investing in a lot of the potential solutions to climate change, whether it’s new food systems, new technologies that will help us manage the energy transition.
Mental health is another area that needs to be looked into.
It is important to recognise that we have a mental health crisis in the world, both in young people and older people. At Columbia University, people are finding ways to prevent mental illness before it happens, when it does not have a physical manifestation. Through building community, through physical exercise, through good diet, through the kind of interactions that people have with each other. The covid generation took a huge hit in terms of difficulty with building relationships. We have to support that generation through this difficult time. What makes people happy in their life is remarkably universal-physical and mental health; quality of the relationships they have in their life and having meaningful work.
There are about 1,300 students from India in Columbia today, the second-largest batch after China. How are you tapping for (does it mean ‘recruiting more students?) more students?
We are thrilled and delighted that we have a growing number of Indian students, so incredibly talented. The only constraint on it (something missing here, may be we can remove). Growing more really is having enough scholarships and financial aid, and we have some generous donors, many of them from India, who are supporting other Indian students to be able to get an education at a place like Columbia. And so, we’re eager to find more of that support to provide these opportunities. It is a very important time for India. To get some of its most talented students educated abroad. India is going to be, is already, a major global power, and having more talented Indians who have that kind of global perspective is really important for the future.

LOS ANGELES: What’s a World Cup without an anthem, a rallying song for fans around the world?
In advance of the Women’s World Cup, running July 20 through Aug. 20, New Zealand alt-pop artist BENEE and Australian musician Mallrat have released “Do It Again,” the official song of this year’s tournament, which is hosted by their respective countries.
They will perform the song at the opening ceremony at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, before the first match between New Zealand and Norway.
“Do It Again” recalls the energetic, eclectic pop of both performers like a marriage between BENEE’s 2020 viral hit, “Supalonely,” and Mallrat’s accessible experimentalism, found in the song “Groceries.”
“Wake up / This is the start of it,” the women sing in the song’s ascendant chorus. “Head’s up / We’re coming home again.”
Earlier this month, FIFA announced it will pay each player at the Women’s World Cup at least $30,000, and the 23 players on the title-winning team will each get $270,000, following a promise made in March to better compensate the 732 players taking part in the tournament.

Benchmark Sensex and Nifty rebounded to close at their new lifetime highs on Friday after the Reserve Bank raised the growth forecast for the current fiscal and kept policy rates unchanged, triggering heavy buying in banking and other rate-sensitive stocks.
The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 303.91 points, or 0.44 per cent, to hit its new peak of 69,825.60. The index touched the highest intra-day level of 69,893.80.
The broader index Nifty also climbed 68.25 points or 0.33 per cent to reach a fresh record high of 20,969.40.
Among major Sensex movers, HCL Tech logged the biggest gain of 2.69 per cent, followed by JSW Steel (2.44 per cent) and Infosys (1.67 per cent. Other gainers included HDFC Bank, Titan, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank.
In contrast, ITC, Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj Finance were among the laggards.
“The RBI took a balanced approach by raising the economic growth forecast and also expressing concern on food inflation, which may have an elevated trajectory in the short term. A drop in rabi sowing and dipping reservoir levels provides a perception that foodgrain prices can rise. The impact was visible on FMCG stocks, which underperformed today,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
Foreign institutional investors sold shares worth ₹1,564.03 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data.
The six-member Monetary Policy Committee of the RBI on Friday decided to keep the benchmark repurchase (repo) rate at 6.5 per cent.
The central bank raised its forecast for economic growth to 7 per cent from 6.5 per cent, maintaining India’s position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy, after a stronger-than-expected 7.6 per cent growth in the July-September quarter.
Elsewhere in Asia, Shanghai Composite gained 0.11 per cent, while the Nikkei 225 and Hang Seng fell by 1.68 per cent and 0.15 per cent, respectively.
European markets were trading higher with France’s CAC 40 gaining by 0.91 per cent and London’s FTSE 100 rising by 0.55 per cent. Germany’s DAX was trading 0.39 per cent higher.
The US markets ended with significant gains in overnight trade on Thursday, with the Nasdaq rallying more than 1 per cent.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude was trading 1.62 per cent higher to $75.25 a barrel.
On Thursday, the 30-share index fell 132.04 points, or 0.19 per cent, to close at 69,521.69. Nifty declined 36.55 points, or 0.17 per cent, to settle at 20,901.15.
Post Diwali, the tempo of ads has slowed down in India. But it picked up pace globally as brands scramble to put out their Christmas/Holiday season campaigns. The narratives mostly focus on heart-tugging stories.
Fuzzy feelings
Apple’s holiday ad, released quite early, titled Fuzzy Feelings is about the sentiment-change an animator undergoes, and the ad is already conquering hearts. The mini film focuses on an animator with a curmudgeonly boss who chastises her all the time, pulling her up for being late and so on. The animator takes out her ire by depicting him in unpleasant situations — being covered under snow, for instance. But then suddenly she sees another side of him, when he distributes thoughtful gifts to all employees. Her mean animated story of him also undergoes a change. It’s a sweetly told story bringing out the spirit of Christmas, and shot entirely on iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Perform big, silently
Haier India’s new Perform Big Silently campaign is a lovely tribute to women achievers. The digital video series gives a peek into the stories of women CXOs and entrepreneurs, who candidly share their unique perspectives, inspiring journeys, challenges and invaluable lessons learned through their careers. The campaign showcases their stories in parallel with Haier India’s washing machines, powered by the direct motion motor. The analogy of silent performers that the brand uses to mirror the story of women achievers with its products works beautifully.
Seeking blood
Pharma brand Abbot has launched a purpose filled campaign seeking to inspire Indian youth to donate blood. India requires an annual average of 14.6 million units of blood, but there is a shortfall of roughly one million units annually. To create awareness, Abbott has extended its worldwide donor recruitment campaign—BETHE1 and launched the a donor campaign song ‘Give Blood. Get Good Vibes’ in India. The vocals are by hip-hop artist, rapper and stage performer Tamojit Chatterjee, aka MC Headshot. In addition to the song and video, there is a campaign on social media where people are encouraged to share their stories of blood donation.
A loving spread
Think Christmas and the image of baking and cakes come to mind. That’s the spirit that Nutella is harnessing as it invites viewers to craft new recipes using the spread. In the digital film, Ranveer is seen decorating his Christmas tree and explaining how the arrival of the festival is the time to do something special for their loved ones. He then reveals how he is set to ‘spread the love’ with Nutella muffins for his family and invites viewers to do the same by creating scrumptious recipes from Nutella.com and sharing it with their family and friends. Taking the Christmas celebrations up a notch, the brand is also holding a contest where fans could win a special Nutella Christmas jumper.
DEMENCIJA je teška bolest, kako za oboljelu osobu tako i za njene bližnje. S obzirom na to da uzrokuje kontinuirano propadanje mozga, demencija može uzrokovati probleme s pamćenjem, kao i promjene u ponašanju. Također može utjecati na razmišljanje, govor i obavljanje dnevnih aktivnosti, kao i na kretanje.
Dobrotvorna organizacija Alzheimer Scotland podijelila je specifičan simptom demencije koji možete primijetiti kada se krećemo po stepenicama.
“Svaka osoba s demencijom je drugačija. Kako njihova bolest utječe na njih ovisi o tome koja su područja njihova mozga najviše oštećena”, pojasnili su.

Upozoravaju da demencija može uzrokovati probleme s hodanjem gore ili dolje po stepenicama. Oboljeli od demencije mogu imati poteškoća s podizanjem mogu i mogli bi biti skloniji padovima.
“Demencija može uzrokovati probleme u načinu na koji se krećemo u okolini. Spoticanja i padovi mogu postati česti. Mogli biste početi primjećivati da osoba otežano podiže noge dok hoda, osobito kada se kreće po stepenicama”, dodali su.
Prema Alzheimer Scotland, rizik od pada možemo smanjiti vježbanjem snage ili ravnoteže dva puta tjedno. To uključuje vježbe sjedenja, stajanja i hodanja. U svakom slučaju, ako ste zabrinuti za sebe ili blisku osobu, potražite savjet liječnika.

NA X-U (bivšem Twitteru) osvanuo je presladak video koji prikazuje trenutak kada je jedna mačka udomljena i prvi put upoznaje svoju vlasnicu. Maca je šapama jako grlila djevojku koja ju je udomila, a glavu je naslonila na njezin vrat i čvrsto se pribila uz nju.

Video je rastopio gledatelje. “Izgleda kao da je žena udomljena”, “Ta mačka je puna ljubavi”, “Mace se vole maziti više nego ljudi”, “Predivne vijesti”, “Tako sam sretna zbog tog klupka slatkoće”, “Obožavam kad životinje pokazuju emocije”, samo su neki od komentara.

NEKI dijelovi Hrvatske već su pod snježnim pokrivačem, a u mnogima su temperature ispod nule.

Pletene rukavice su klasik s razlogom. Iako mnogi muškarci više vole kožne, pletene rukavice nude toplinu i udobnost koja će odgovarati većini.

Lee Jin-uk is known to Indian fans for K-dramas such as “I Need Romance 2012”, Park’s credits include “Dali & Cocky Prince”.
Won currently stars in the Prime Video series “HeartBeat” and Jo has worked in “Work Later, Drink Now”.
“Extraordinary Attorney Woo” actor Kang, Lee David of “Itaewon Class” fame, rapper Choi (better known by his stage name TOP) and Roh, known for “Once Upon a Small Town”, also round out the cast of “Squid Game 2”.
Series leads Lee Jung-Jae, Lee Byung-Hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo will reprise their roles in the upcoming installment of the show.
Popular Korean actors Yim Si-wan (“Run On”), Kang Ha-neul (“Misaeng”), Park Sung-hoon (“The Glory), and Yang Dong-Geun (“Cheer Up”) were previously announced as the new additions to the cast of “Squid Game 2”, directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk.
BEML management expects revenue to grow by 20 per cent y-o-y in FY24 to ₹4,500-4,800 crore (earlier ₹5,000 crore), driven by execution ramp-up in defence & aerospace (D&A) and rail & metro ([R&M]; both segments set to post a 30-40 per cent CAGR over FY24-26) while mining & construction (M&C) could grow at a 5-8 per cent CAGR.
It also aims to improve mix in FY24 to 45:55 in M&C and R&M & defence, respectively, from 50:50 in FY23.
We raise our EPS by 10 per cent in FY24, 19 per cent by FY25 and 15 per cent in FY26 based on improved mix, staff cost containment and better execution amid improving pipeline and expansion program. Accordingly, we raise our TP by 17 per cent to ₹2,350 on 25x (unchanged) September 2023 P/E. The current orderbook at ₹12,700 crore provides revenue visibility for the next three years, led by: execution of the Mumbai & Bengaluru Metro and defence orders over FY24-26; strong inflow pipeline in rail, metro & defence, due to indigenisation focus; and incremental orders for mining equipment in the coal segment.
These bode well for growth prospects. We reiterate Reduce as the stock outperformed by 50 per cent over the past six months.
Dentsu Creative’s 2024 Trends Report unveils five macro trends for 2024 and beyond, each with a number of sub trends to explore.
It starts with what it calls ‘ode to joy’, with advertising rediscovering the transformative power of humour. A second trend, the study see is, broadcasters embracing storytelling over factual content to help audiences digest the complexity of the times; with memes and reels emerging as a way of distilling complex ideas into bite-sized, shareable formats.
Third is an increased appreciation for goods and services closer to home that draw on local traditions and iconography. Fourthly, with ChatGPT emerging, one can see more practical and scaleable use cases designed to enhance the customer experience.
Lastly, an increase in inter-generational living is giving rise to an appreciation of the older generation, demonstrated through an increase in fashion brands engaging mature ambassadors and the enduring popularity of the #grandmillennial trend.
SLATKI krumpir, poznat i kao batat, nije samo ukusan već ima i mnoge zdravstvene dobrobiti za tijelo. Bogat je vitaminima, vlaknima i drugim dobrim sastojcima, zbog čega uopće ne iznenađuje što postaje jedno od omiljenih vrsta povrća.
O dobrobitima slatkog krumpira provedena su mnoga istraživanja, a kako prenosi portal Fitness & Power, ovo je šest razloga zašto je batat jedna od najboljih namirnica za naše zdravlje.
Wellness za probavu
Topiva vlakna u slatkom krumpiru doprinose dobrom funkcioniranju probavnog sustava. Batat se veže s kolesterolom i žučnim kiselinama u crijevima te sprječava njihovu reapsorpciju, smanjujući rizik od probavnih problema. Osim toga, vlakna u batatu pomažu u sprječavanju zatvora i mogu sniziti krvni tlak poboljšavajući elastičnost krvnih žila.
Podrška za vid
Slatki krumpir, pogotovo onaj narančasti, prepun je beta-karotena, snažnog antioksidansa neophodnog za zdrav vid. Beta-karoten pretvara se u vitamin A koji igra vitalnu ulogu u razvoju receptora za otkrivanje svjetlosti unutar očiju. Također, antocijanini u slatkom krumpiru dodatno štite očne stanice od oštećenja.
Regulacija šećerne bolesti
Unatoč svom slatkom okusu, batat može biti koristan za osobe s dijabetesom. Određene vrste batata sadrže spojeve koji pomažu u regulaciji razine inzulina.

Kognitivno poboljšanje
Beta-karoten prisutan u slatkom krumpiru može poboljšati pamćenje i sposobnost učenja promicanjem pravilnog rada mozga. Štoviše, antocijanini u ljubičastom slatkom krumpiru pokazuju protuupalna svojstva, potencijalno štiteći mozak od štete uzrokovane upalom i slobodnim radikalima.
Obrana od raka
Slatki krumpir navodno može pomoći u borbi protiv raka, prenosi Fitness & Power. Antocijanini koje sadrži batat povezani su s inhibicijom rasta stanica raka u raznim organima, uključujući dojke, mjehur, želudac i debelo crijevo.
Jedno je istraživanje pokazalo niže stope ranog stadija raka debelog crijeva kod miševa hranjenih hranom bogatom ljubičastim batatom. Ekstrakti kore slatkog krumpira također pokazuju svojstva protiv raka, što je pokazano u studijama na životinjama i u epruvetama.
Regulacija tjelesne težine
Batat, zahvaljujući vlaknima, doprinosi sitosti, smanjujući vjerojatnost prejedanja kasnije tijekom dana. Sadržaj vitamina C podržava regulaciju metabolizma, potencijalno potpomažući sagorijevanje kalorija. Istraživanja naglašavaju ulogu dijetalnih vlakana u mršavljenju i njihovu sposobnost da pomognu pojedincima u pridržavanju njihovih planova prehrane.

IAKO je sitan, Čorki je večeras bio glavna zvijezda Adventa u udruzi Indigo. Hrvoje Podobnik Gero toliko se zaljubio u ovog psića da je o njemu snimio kratki film. Zašto? Da bi čitavom svijetu pokazao o koliko se divnom psu radi i pokušao mu pronaći dom zauvijek.
“Čorkija šećem već oko deset mjeseci. Nisam službeno volonter Udruge, ali dolazim šetati pse nekoliko puta tjedno”, rekao je u razgovoru za Index redatelj Hrvoje Podobnik Gero.
Za Čorkija su govorili da je mješanac čivave i jorkširskog terijera, tako je i dobio ime. No, zapravo više vuče na Jack Russell terijera.
“Kupljen je klincima zbog rastave. Naravno, klinci nisu mogli hendlati psa i tako je završio u Indigu”, doznajemo iz filma.
“Shvatio sam da je on pobjednik”
Gero otkriva da je Čorki u početku bio nervozan zbog svih trauma koje je doživio. Počeo ga je voditi u šetnje i tada je shvatio da je riječ o iznimno dobrom psu koji iz dana u dan sve više napreduje.

“Shvatio sam da je on pobjednik, da je prevladao sve svoje probleme i da zaslužuje da o njemu snimim film. Još jedna stvar koju kod njega obožavam jest što je stvarno smiješan. Njegovi bivši vlasnici su mu zamjerali što je temperamentan, ali on nije kriv što se takav rodio. Imamo slične sudbine, pa je i to jedan od razloga zbog kojeg ga volim”, ispričao je.
Čorki je pas čija je životna priča nevjerojatno tužna, ali još uvijek može dobiti sretan kraj. Ako ga priželjkujete, javite se u Udrugu za dobrobit i zaštitu životinja Indigo. Čorki vas čeka, a film o njemu možete pogledati u nastavku.

DIZAJNERICA interijera postala je viralna na TikToku nakon što je otkrila da se cijena IKEA-ine sofe, koja je koštala 799 dolara 2019., sada udvostručila četiri godine kasnije.
Jilian Dee, vlasnica malog poduzeća u Los Angelesu, u svom videu istaknula je značajne poraste cijena poznatog proizvođača namještaja.
Dee je tako otkrila da je cijena IKEA-ine sofe i ležaljke Finnala sada skočila na nevjerojatnih 1599 dolara. Prije samo četiri godine, 2019., potpuno isti namještaj koštao je 799 dolara.
Ovo iznenađujuće otkriće ne samo da je zaintrigiralo Jillian, već i njezinu publiku, što je izazvalo intenzivne reakcije i rasprave.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Čini se da je IKEA zaboravila tko su. Po tim cijenama ne montiramo sami namještaj”, “Ako trošim gotovo 2000 dolara na sofu, to sigurno neće biti iz IKEA-e”, “Prije sam kupovao u IKEI za razne stvari, a sada si jedva mogu priuštiti okvir za slike….”, “Prestala sam kupovati u IKEA-i kada sam otišla kupiti svojim kćerima isti krevet koji sam nekoć kupila za 300 dolara sada je 800 dolara”, “IKEA, sjećaš se kada si bila za one koji si ne mogu priuštiti kauč od 1600 dolara”, samo su neki od komentara razočaranih kupaca.
Proučili smo starije kataloge
Ako ste se pitali kakva je situacija kod nas, proučili smo starije kataloge koje smo pronašli na internetu i primijetili smo najveći porast cijena sofi. Na primjer, VEDBO fotelja s visokim naslonom koštala je 265.31 eura (1999 kn) 2018., a danas je njezina cijena 398.04 eura (2999 kn). HOLMSUND trosjed na razvlačenje 2018. bio je 544.03 eura (4099 kn), a sada košta 729.84 eura (5499 kn).
Hrvati se žale i na razlike u cijenama
Na Redditu su se Hrvati požalili i na razlike u cijenama između Njemačke, Austrije i Hrvatske.
Jedan je kupac dao primjer zidne ploče koja košta 145 eura/m2 (1099 kn/m2), a ista u Njemačkoj 89 eura/m2 (670 kn/m2). “Ta ploča je prije pandemije koštala 52.96 eura (399 kn/m2) kod nas. Digli su ju za više nego duplo, prvo na 132.72 eura (999.98 kn), pa onda još na 145 eura i tako već 2 godine stoji. Hoće li je ikad spustiti? Naravno da neće”, nadodao je.

NEW DELHI : The role of artificial intelligence in catering to mental health needs has significantly increased, allowing for technology to somewhat address the paucity of trained professionals, especially in India.
“India has 175 psychiatrists per 100,000 people, whereas there really should be three times the number of psychiatrists. In the US, we have the same problem as well,” said Carin-Isabel Knoop, executive director of Harvard Business School, delivering her keynote address at the 2023 Mint AI Summit.
This dearth of professionals, particularly in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, drove the need for AI platforms and services to cater to mental health requirements, she said. “The pandemic actually accelerated this gap further—through this period, the demand for mental health consultations rose by 25%.”
AI ‘companions’ could likely be of aid to some extent for individuals who feel lonely and may need services that can help address such emotions, she said by way of example of how AI could address certain mental health requirements.
“In 10% of ‘companion AI’ conversations, there was a significant mental health conversation being had with a chatbot. Many of them were not even specially trained, but were largely general. In a way, this signals automation of the need for people to talk to someone,” Knoop said.
“If people use such stock spaces for mindfulness, that is a placebo effect, and that’s great. There’s nothing wrong with a placebo effect, and it is a clear effect of automation.”
Knoop added that certain services also collect information based on an individual’s mental health status, such as on Meta’s platforms, and then serve ads and content based on that person’s feelings.
“Because of a proliferation of digital services, you may also assume mental health conditions of various individuals that you interact with,” she said. “All of this accelerates the need for AI services in helping offer support and address mental health requirements.”
Knoop also cautioned about other adverse effects from the proliferation of AI in multiple sectors. For instance, she said, “the average vocabulary of people is dropping with the use of AI and texting.”

MUMBAI: The Screenwriters Association (SWA) on Saturday said it will be holding talks with leading Indian studios, producers and OTT platforms next month to discuss the grievances of writers in Bollywood and regional film industries.
While writers in Hollywood had to go on a strike to press their demands earlier this year, the writer community here hopes it would not have to resort to such a step.
In a press statement, SWA — which has about 65,000 members — said more than 100 writers from Bollywood attended a meeting called by it on December 7.
Among those present were acclaimed writer-filmmakers Sriram Raghavan, Sujoy Ghosh and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari.
Veteran screenwriter Anjum Rajabali, best known for Ghulam, The Legend of Bhagat Singh and Raajneeti, said they will leave no stone unturned to fight for the rights of writers in Bollywood and other film industries.
”The agenda of the meeting was to share our complaints about one-sided contracts, and to work out a way to bring about a change because frustration is building up across the writers’ community. Every writer who was present at the meeting complained about how contracts are unfair,” Rajabali, who is also the chairperson of the contracts committee of SWA, told PTI.
Sumit Aroraa, best known for the recent blockbuster Jawaan, Harshvardhan Kulkarni of Badhaai Do fame, Sudeep Sharma of Pataal Lok fame, Abbas Tyrewala and Shridhar Raghavan, well-known for Pathaan, and many others spoke at the meeting.
According to SWA, complaints centred around how average remuneration is shrinking, credit is given at the discretion of producers, termination can be arbitrary, and how writers are forced to indemnify producers if there is a socio-political backlash to the film.
Besides, stringent agreements force writers to waive their moral rights as well as their right to receive royalty, both of which are guaranteed by the Indian copyright law, it said.
It was decided that SWA will hold meetings with the studios, producers and streaming platforms to resolve the issues.
SWA will represent the writing community and we will begin negotiations with the studios, platforms and producers to bring about a change, to make contracts more balanced and fair.
The negotiations will begin next month, Rajabali said.
Our work deserves its due commercial value, and the writers their dignity.
To get that, we have to break the existing mindset towards our profession, he added.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) was in news recently for its 148-day strike that brought Hollywood to a standstill, winning the writers an important victory.
When asked if SWA will go on strike like the WGA, Rajabali said, “We are confident that it will never come to that.
However, we are not going to step back, because the determination within the writing community about the need for change is solid.
We have good news, we have expensive news, and we have more good news. First, the Ford Performance 7.3 Megazilla V8 crate engine has a price and will soon be available to order. Ford announced the motor three years ago, a hiccup called Covid preventing the automaker from taking the engine on tour until last last December’s Performance Racing Industry trade show. Megazilla’s official specs are 615 horsepower at 5,750 rpm, 638 pound-feet of torque at 4,650 rpm (two fewer torques than initially announced at 860 more rpm), 500 lb-ft available from 2,500 to 6,000 rpm when drinking premium gasoline. Ford hasn’t listed a weight yet; Godzilla crushes the scales with 580 pounds. You can’t order Megazilla at the time of writing, either, but if you sign up for an account at the site, you can add the engine to your wish list and Ford will let you know when your request will be granted.
The expensive news: Megazilla costs $22,995. That gets the engine, oil pan, and wiring harness. A control pack to run the engine with a manual transmission costs $2,650, a pack for an automatic transmission is $100 more. You’re going to want a starter, too — that’s $265. And since you’re in the accessories bin, the drive bits like an alternator and bracket, power steering pump, idler pulley, and belt cost are bundled in a front accessory drive kit that asks $765.
Megazilla is the bigger brother of Godzilla, the 7.3-liter V8 that debuted in the 2020 Ford Super Duty pickup. Godzilla tops out at 430 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque. Megazilla keeps the cast iron heart and aluminum heads, shading the former’s output numbers with the help of upgrades like Mahle forged pistons on Callies forged Ultra H-beam connecting rods, CNC-ported cylinder heads, and a low-profile intake manifold breathing through the 92-millimeter throttle body pulled from the Mustang Shelby GT500’s Predator V8 that replaces Godzilla’s 80-mm throttle body.
Ford spokespeople said the engine was designed “to be easier to drop into car applications rather than just trucks.” It’s narrower than the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 in the Mustang and comes with the specially designed intake that won’t interrupt the lines of a Mustang hood. As for how high Megazilla’s numbers can go, stock output figures for both engines represent Ford’s modesty. Brian Wolfe took an atmospheric Godzilla with similar internal upgrades, a 90-mm throttle body, and a 12.5:1 compression ratio to 789 hp and 558 lb-ft, an addition of 349 hp and 83 lb-ft. Merkel Racing Engines created a custom twin-snail setup for Godzilla with twin intercoolers and bigger injectors, leading to a dyno graph showing 1,114 hp and 1,037 lb-ft. And Willis Performance Enterprises bolted up Whipple’s 3.0-liter supercharger plus some supplemental parts like new heads, cam and lifters, hitting 1,450 hp and 1,030 pound-feet. One would think Megazilla will be prepared for even more.
So what about that even more good news? When Ford took Megazilla to the Indy trade show last year, little brother Godzilla cost $9,175. Despite the economy, Godzilla now costs $8,500. It doesn’t come with the car-friendly low-profile intake, that adds another $1,125. But if you don’t need the svelte form and don’t want to go Mega, you can buy a Godzilla right now, and $14,500 can pay for a whole lot of power.
Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) reported in Q2-FY24 revenue from operations to ₹3,993.30 crore, up 1.2 per cent y-o-y and 13.5 per cent q-o-q. EBITDA stood at ₹1,014 crore, up 16.8 per cent y-o-y and 50.8 per cent q-o-q. EBITDA Margins stood at 25.3 per cent, up 340bps y-o-y and up 630bps q-o-q due to an improvement of 340 bps is seen due to favorable product mix.
PAT stood at ₹812.30 crore, up 26.5 per cent y-o-y and 46.6 per cent q-o-q. BEL has experienced relatively stagnant revenue growth due to disruptions in Karnataka. Furthermore, the effects of these disturbances, coupled with holiday-related spillovers in other regions, have contributed to the observed revenue flatness.
We expect now onwards guided revenue growth of 15-17 per cent would be seen in coming quarter and further we expect 2H24 would be better than H1-24 as execution performance starts improving from the end of the Q3 and peaks at Q4.
We remain bullish on the company, valuing it at a target price of ₹162 with a P/E of 28x using forecasted EPS of INR 5.76 (FY25E). We maintain Buy for the company due to its healthy order book, diversification and export growth.
It’s a rainy day in Mumbai as one battles the thick traffic in Powai to the Colgate-Palmolive India HQ. Calm follows after the tumult outside when one enters the enormous foyer of the imposing building; open upwards to the high ceiling, all the floors with workspaces are in tiers around. The atmosphere is festive with booths all round displaying Colgate’s multifarious and popular brands. It’s ‘Brand Days’ at the office, which offers an immersive experience and insight for media, analysts and select customers into what makes Colgate’s brands tick.
There are stalls displaying its most popular brand, Colgate Strong Teeth — its flagship and largest brand — relaunched last May; the oral care star, Total; Max Fresh; Colgate Whitening; toothbrushes, and many others, including for the unsung brand which contributes to the second half of its name, Palmolive, displaying a range of hand and body washes.
Scientists flashing wide smiles — Colgate, of course — in white coats from Colgate India’s R&D centre, are on hand at each display stall to take us through brand stories and efficacy. Total, for instance, they say is a complete oral care toothpaste — with 125 patents globally — which prevents cavities and sensitivity. The scientists use small white HAP (hydroxyapatite) discs to prove the efficacy of the Colgate brands — whether for bacterial removal or whitening, by dipping them in solutions. For the whitening toothpaste, the discs glow whiter as compared to a regular toothpaste.
Happy days
Brand Days is being held just a few days before Colgate’s MD and CEO, Prabha Narasimhan, completes a year in office on September 1. It was also cause for some celebration because the quarter ended June 30, 2023, saw a significant increase in revenue and net profit after a couple of sluggish quarters; the company’s revenue from operations saw a 10.8 per cent growth compared to the same quarter last year while net profits surged 30 per cent and the company saw a 12.3 per cent growth in domestic net sales (compared to 5.4 per cent growth in Q4 FY 22-23 and 2.7 per cent for the whole of last FY), driven by an approximate 8 per cent price increase. Gross margins have gone up to 68 per cent (highest ever in the past 10 years) with a moderation in inflation.
Ask Narasimhan what were the ingredients of a turnaround in this last quarter, she points to three factors. One of which is that it’s coming off a weak base. The macro environment is also picking up with green shoots sprouting in the rural economy. And, the quarter saw the relaunch of its blockbuster brand Colgate Strong Teeth (CST). “The relaunch was well supported and well distributed, that helped, as well as the continuing momentum on Max Fresh,” she adds. Two-thirds of Indian households use CST, says the toothpaste major, which works out to around a billion; CST is growing in double digits while the availability is at 90 per cent of category value stores.
Narasimhan explains that the company has identified few triggers for growing consumption. “We have some answers which you will see sooner than later; some of it is still work in progress. As we find this, we will do above-the-line (promotions) as well as drive behaviour change on the ground.”
Meanwhile, the challenge for Palmolive is different in the category of body and hand wash. “The category by itself is tiny with very low penetration. The way we operate in the category has to be fundamentally different to the way we operate in the oral care category,” she avers.
Growth levers
Colgate-Palmolive has other levers for growth as well. One, is the premiumisation plank it has embarked on with brands like Max Fresh and Colgate Whitening. On display during Brand Days were some examples of how the brand is responding to consumer needs. Apart from whitening paste, the brand has also launched a whitening pen which one can smear on teeth overnight to remove stains and whiten them.
And, as Narasimhan points out, the company is not averse to inorganic growth. “We have high intent on inorganic growth — you will notice from our balance sheet that we are a debt-free company; so the concern is finding the right target that fits with our strategic intent. We have a strategic intent that is larger than oral care,” she emphasises.
However, it’s hard to put a time frame for any acquisitions. “What’s in our control, you’ll see more of it — like our biggest brand relaunch; but it’s hard to put a time frame on what’s not in our control. The intent to diversify remains a very strong part of our strategic plan and therefore we will surely take the opportunities that presents itself,” she says.
Colgate-Palmolive India might also dip into its international portfolio to bring in more brands to the table here. “We will bring in the best of that range as suitable for this country. That’s an easy one. Apart from that, we also have other brands outside India that could be relevant here. Colgate-Palmolive globally plays in many more categories than we have here. So we are doing an assessment of our global portfolio to find what could be relevant for us in India . Globally we have hair, homecare, pet care. We have many of those categories and anything that Colgate does globally is certainly within the consideration set for India,” elaborates Narasimhan. Colgate’s cautious but aggressive intent is evident.
KAKO se naša tijela mijenjaju kako starimo, tako se mijenjaju i naše prehrambene potrebe, osobito kod žena. Nutricionisti i dijetetičari slažu se da su neke promjene prehrambenih navika nužne nakon 60. godine kako bismo ostali zdravi.
“Ključna je hrana bogata vlaknima, osobito povrće. Vlakna se ne probavljaju u potpunosti. Ona se kreću našim tijelom i skupljaju zalutale masti i šećere. Pritom hrane zdrave bakterije u našim crijevima i uklanjaju toksine jer potiču redovito pražnjenje crijeva”, pojasnila je dijetetičarka Molly Rapozo za Parade.
Prehrana s dovoljno vlakana može pomoći u smanjenju rizika od bolesti srca i dijabetesa tipa 2. Dijetetičarka Tara M. Schimdt također zagovara voće i povrće zbog visokog sadržaja vode budući da su mnogi stariji od 60 godina često dehidrirani.
“Povrće, voće, cjelovite žitarice, mahunarke, orašasti plodovi i sjemenke sadrže vlakna. Institut za medicinu preporučuje da žene starije od 51 godine konzumiraju 21 gram ili više vlakana dnevno, dok bi muškarci iste dobi trebali unositi 30 ili više grama vlakana u danu”, napominje Rapozo.
Najbolji biljni izvori vlakana su jabuke, grah, borovnice, brokula, slanutak, chia sjemenke, leća, grašak, kruške, kvinoja i maline.

Ne zaboravite proteine
Još jedan element vaše prehrane koji postaje važniji nego ikad kad pređete 60. godinu jesu proteini.
“Proteini su građevni blokovi za mišiće, enzime i važne hormone u našim tijelima. Starije odrasle osobe imaju dodatne potrebe za proteinima za održavanje mišićne mase i snage, kao i zdravlja kostiju i imuniteta”, govori Rapozo.
Većina zdravih starijih osoba trebala bi dnevno unositi od 1 do 1.2 grama proteina po kilogramu tjelesne težine. Iznimka su osobe s bolestima bubrega. Rapozo preporučuje da proteine jedete u manjim porcijama, od oko 25 do 30 grama po obroku tijekom dana, umjesto da konzumirate proteine odjednom, jer kako starimo, naše tijelo manje učinkovito prerađuje proteine.
Dobrim izvorima proteina smatraju se bademi, svježi sir, masna riba, grčki jogurt, leća, mlijeko, grašak, sjemenke, soja i tofu.

Kashvee Gautam turned heads at the WPL 2024 auction when she was signed by Gujarat Giants for a massive sum of Rs 2 crore. Gujarat Giants fended off some intense competition from UP Warriorz and Royal Challengers Bangalore to acquire the exciting youngster’s signature for the upcoming season. The 20-year-old will be one of the young players to watch out for when the WPL 2024 begins next year. Gautam also matched the staggering Rs 2 crore amount that Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland fetched earlier in the WPL auction when she was signed by Delhi Capitals. Vrinda Dinesh Quick Facts: Here’s All You Need to Know About UP Warriorz’ Rs 1.3 Crore Signing in WPL 2024 Auction.
Gautam grabbed a lot of eyeballs when she took all 10 wickets in a 50-over match at the U-19 level. Fans might be wondering who the youngster is after she fetched such a big amount at the WPL auction. The fast bowler, with this, became the most expensive uncapped player at the WPL auction and this is something that the cricket fraternity is set to remember for a long long time. Let us take a look at some of the quick facts about the exciting young fast bowler. Kashvee Gautam Becomes Most Expensive Uncapped Player at WPL Auction After Being Signed by Gujarat Giants for Rs 2 Crore.
#Kashvee Gautam was born in Chandigarh, Punjab on April 18, 2003
#The exciting cricketer is known to hit the deck hard and made the headlines when she finished with figures of 10/12 in 4.5 overs, which also included one maiden.
#Gautam earlier competed at the Women’s T20 Challenge for the Trailblazers
#The fast bowler did not find a team in the inaugural WPL auction. She was then advised by scouts to increase her pace
#The 20-year-old was part of the Indian U-23 team which won the ACC Emerging tournament, which was held in Hong Kong
#Gautam is also a pretty player with the bat in hand and her all-round skills is something that Gujarat Giants would look to use in WPL 2024
Having been signed by Gujarat Giants, she would learn a lot by rubbing shoulders with some of the top Indian and as well as international stars and the journey seems only upwards for the youngster from here on.

Information Technology (IT) minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar informed the Rajya Sabha on Friday that the government blocked as many as 36,838 Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) in the last five years. The decision to block them was taken under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act.
In a written response to CPI(M)’s John Brittas, Rajeev Chandrasekhar said, “The government issues lawful directions for blocking for access of information by public under section 69A of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 which provides power to government to issue such directions if it is necessary or expedient to do so in the interest of sovereignty and integrity, defence of India, security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States or public order or for inciting cognizable offence relating to above.”
What the data show?
The data, shared by Chandrasekhar, revealed figures related to the blocking of URLs by the government since 2018. The data for 2023 was recorded till October.
The government blocked the maximum number of URLs (9,849) in 2020. As per the data, a total of 2799 URLs were blocked in 2018, 3635 in 2019, 9849 in 2020, 6118 in 2021, 6935 in 2022 and 7502 in 2023.

LOS ANGELES: Last month, the Recording Academy announced a series of changes to the Grammy Awards to better reflect an evolving music industry.
Of those newly instituted guidelines, protocols involving technological advancements in machine learning sparked headlines: “Only human creators” could win the music industry’s highest honour in a decision aimed at the use of artificial intelligence in popular music.
“A work that contains no human authorship is not eligible in any category,” the rules read in part.
As the music industry continues to come to terms with this new technology, so too will the Grammys, says Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason Jr.
“Here’s the super easy, headline statement: AI, or music that contains AI-created elements is absolutely eligible for entry and for consideration for Grammy nomination. Period,” Mason told the Associated Press.
He said, “What’s not going to happen is we are not going to give a Grammy or Grammy nomination to the AI portion.”
If an AI or voice modelling program performs the lead vocal on a song, the track would be eligible in a songwriting category, for example, but not a performance category, because “what is performing is not a human creation,” he explains.
“Conversely, if a song was sung by an actual human in the studio, and they did all the performing, but AI wrote the lyric or the track, the song would not be eligible in a composition or a songwriting category,” he continued.
“As long as the human is contributing in a more than de minimis amount, which to us means a meaningful way, they are and will always be considered for a nomination or a win,” he added.
He said, “We don’t want to see technology replace human creativity. We want to make sure technology is enhancing, embellishing, or additive to human creativity. So that’s why we took this particular stand in this award cycle.”
The Recording Academy has long considered setting rules related to AI following the popularity of new songs created alongside AI technology: David Guetta’s “Emin-AI-em”, the AI -compositions of TikTok user @ghostwriter977, Grimes’ voice modelling AI software.
In order to establish its AI guidelines, the Recording Academy engaged in extensive research, including holding tech summits.
“I’ve met with the copyright office. We’ve talked about the future and what that looks like on a federal level and the legislative level,” Mason said, adding that AI conversations “really came to a head in the last six months.”
The new Grammy AI protocols were announced three days after Paul McCartney shared that “the last Beatles Record” had been composed using artificial intelligence to extract John Lennon’s voice from an old demo. Without knowing the extent of the technology, Mason couldn’t confirm or deny whether the song would be eligible for a Grammy nomination.
“We’ll see what it turns out to be,” he said. “But I would imagine from the early descriptions that I’ve heard there would be components of the creation that would be absolutely eligible.”
So, can Grammy viewers expect to see work at least partially created with AI nominated for an award as early as next year?
It’s impossible to predict what is submitted. But as Mason affirms, “People are using the technology. I’m imagining it’s going to be involved in a lot of records a lot of songs this year, so we’ll see if some of them get nominated or not, but I’m sure there’ll be some that will be submitted.”
The 2024 Grammy Awards will return to Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024, airing live on CBS and live-streamed on Paramount+.
At the recent Global Economic Policy Forum 2023, organised by the Department of Economic Affairs in Finance Ministry and Confederation of Indian Industry, Ridham Desai, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley India, made three important observations with respect to the stock market.
Desai highlighted that there are a lot of reforms that could be pursued, including opening up stock lending in a big way. “We also need a longer list of single stock futures,” he further said.
Besides, Desai observed that Indian markets still don’t have hedging mechanisms for certain big volatile events such as general elections. “There is no mechanism to do long-dated put,” he said.
Stock lending
Opening up stock lending in a big way at this stage may not help much at this juncture. Similarly, introducing more single stock futures will also not serve the purpose as trading in existing single stock futures is also limited. Besides, a recent study by the market regulator pointed out that 67 per cent traders in stock futures suffered an average loss of ₹2.1 lakh.
However, domestic markets definitely need hedging instruments for certain big volatile events. Though National Stock Exchange does have a long-term options contract on Nifty 50 (introduced in 2008), the activity is less. LEAPS can be more suitable to traders who prefer long-term exposure on indices and for investors who are looking to hedge portfolios. Exchanges and intermediaries such as brokerages and investment advisors should make the options popular through investor education.
What is inverse ETF
However, the most apt products could be inverse exchange traded funds and funds based on volatility index.
An Inverse Index ETF provides the investor an opportunity to create a position which gives inverse (opposite) returns of the index. The index is designed to provide the inverse performance of the benchmark, representing a short position in the index.
Inverse index ETFs are a cost-effective way to express a bearish opinion. They, typically, like any other ETFs , have low expense ratios.
Nifty Inverse index
Though the NSE had launched Nifty50 PR 1X Inverse in October 2014, it was not open to domestic investors. However, investors in Taiwan (through Fubon NIFTY -1 Inverse Index ETF) and Hong Kong (CSOP Nifty 50 Daily (-1x) Inverse ETF) have an opportunity to hedge through these funds. In a bullish market like the current one, these indices typically give negative return. In fact, NSE’s November factsheet revealed that the index has provided a negative return of 9.37 per cent since inception and YTD return of negative 5.27 per cent.
Another product should be Volatility ETFs based on prominent indices. Sadly, NSE was forced to withdraw trading on India VIX (that was launched in 2014) future and options due to lack of trading interest. Derivative contracts on NVIX failed due to its complexity in nature and lack of institutional presence.
Volatility ETFs based on Chicago Board of Options Exchange Volatility Index are quite popular in the US markets.
Perhaps it’s time to refine the features of NVIX and consider introducing a VIX based on other widely-followed indices, such as Bank Nifty and Bank FinNifty, incorporating enhanced features. As derivatives gain popularity on these offerings, the possibility of launching ETFs tied to them emerges, providing investors with effective risk hedging tools.
Hey, let’s talk cake! I mean, seriously, is there anything better than sinking your teeth into a perfectly moist slice of cake? But you know what’s even cooler? Cake has this whole symbolic thing going on in cultures all around the world. So, let’s dig into the semiotics of cake and how it has influenced Indian culture over time.
In India, these days, cake is a total rockstar at celebrations all over the country. But do you ever wonder how it all started? Well, it goes way back to the colonial era when the British brought their culinary traditions to the subcontinent. At first, cakes were mostly associated with Christian festivities, but over time, they managed to break free from religious boundaries and wiggle their way into various Indian festivals and events.
Just imagine it: a gorgeous cake with layers of soft sponge and luscious frosting. It’s more than just dessert; it’s a symbol of celebration, happiness, and togetherness. When you share a cake with your loved ones, it’s like this ritualistic gesture, marking those important milestones and special occasions. Think about it — the round shape of the cake represents unity and continuity. And let’s not forget the whole blowing out candles ritual. Light and darkness play a significant role in cultural celebrations and religious rituals worldwide. The act of lighting candles further signifies the importance and specialness of the person being celebrated, representing them as the ‘light’ within their family and social circle.
The ubiquity and normativeness of birthday celebrations marks the rise in importance of the individual within and to the family. With the nuclearisation of families and with families having few children — just one or two, the child is precious, all family members are precious. The birthday cake represents the idea that each and every individual in the world is special and worthy of being celebrated.
Cakes take centre stage on the table, while the birthday boy or girl stands behind it, basking in the spotlight. It’s their moment, where family and friends shine the spotlight on them with the ‘Happy Birthday’ song and the most memorable part — cutting and feeding each other the first bite of the cake! It’s all about spreading joy and goodwill among family and friends. Plus, who can resist those customised decorations like themed cake toppers or edible images?
The personalisation of the cake is a whole new level of creativity which traditional Indian sweets lack because they are made as single units and distributed socially. Cakes today are a canvas for creativity — birthday cakes with icing can make a model of animals, cars, musical instruments and almost anything else. They can be tiered and made taller. They can be made not just in circular and square shapes but in almost all shapes and forms.
But wait, there’s more! Cakes have infiltrated weddings and anniversaries too. In Indian engagement ceremonies and weddings nowadays, it’s become common to have an engagement or wedding cake. The moment when the couple cuts the cake symbolises their union, and that first bite they share is like sealing the deal, representing their commitment to each other. And let’s not forget anniversaries — they often come with a delicious cake that screams sweetness and longevity of the relationship.
Cakes are also slowly making their way into Indian festivals and other special occasions. Sure, traditional Indian sweets hold pride of place still but cakes seamlessly blend into the cultural tapestry, adding an extra layer of sweetness and joy to the celebrations.
So, the next time you devour a slice of cake, take a moment to appreciate its hidden meaning. Cake has become this integral part of Indian culture, symbolising celebration, unity, the recognition of life’s special people and special moments. It’s a tasty example of how culinary traditions can cross borders and bring people together. Now, who’s up for another slice?

TIJEKOM ljeta obično se osjećamo zdravije uz sunce i duže dane. Međutim, novo istraživanje Sveučilišta u Kopenhagenu sugerira da bi naše prehrambene navike tijekom zime zapravo mogle biti korisnije za naš metabolizam. Znanstvenici su proučavali metabolizam i težinu miševa izloženih zimskom svjetlu.
Inspiracija za pokretanje studije proizašla je iz značajnih varijacija u trajanju dnevnog svjetla diljem svijeta. Istraživači su željeli saznati što sezonske razlike u svjetlu znače za metabolizam.
“Dolazim iz Australije i kad sam prvi put došao u Dansku, nisam bio naviknut na ogromnu razliku u trajanju dana između ljeta i zime, pa me zanimalo kako bi ovo moglo utjecati na metabolizam”, rekao je Lewin Small koji je proveo istraživanje sa svojim timom u Centru za osnovna istraživanja metabolizma na Sveučilištu u Kopenhagenu.

Istraživači su otkrili da su miševi, koji su bili izloženi zimskom svjetlu, imali manje povećanje tjelesne težine i masnoće. Pokazivali su pravilniji uzorak prehrane tijekom 24 sata, što je rezultiralo poboljšanim metaboličkim zdravljem.
“Utječu li razlike u satima svjetlosti na metabolizam? Da, utječu. Daljnje studije na ljudima mogle bi otkriti da bi promjena našeg izlaganja umjetnom svjetlu noću, ili izlaganja prirodnom svjetlu tijekom godine, mogla koristiti za poboljšanje našeg metaboličkog zdravlja”, zaključio je Lewin Small.
Ipak, budući da je istraživanje provedeno na miševima kao eksperimentalnim subjektima, nije moguće pretpostaviti da isto vrijedi i za ljude, navodi ScienceDaily.

NEKONTROLIRANO mokrenje kod pasa može biti izuzetno frustrirajuće za vlasnike. Ovaj problem često dovodi do nereda u stanu, a također može ukazivati na potencijalne zdravstvene ili ponašajne probleme kod vašeg ljubimca. Razumijevanje uzroka nekontroliranog mokrenja i primjena odgovarajućih rješenja ključno je za održavanje čistog i zdravog okoliša za vašeg psa i vašu obitelj.
Mogući uzroci nekontroliranog mokrenja
Mladi psi često nemaju kontrolu nad mokrenjem dok ne nauče gdje i kada je prikladno obaviti nuždu. Ovo je čest uzrok nekontroliranog mokrenja kod štenaca i neiskusnih pasa.
Infekcije mokraćnog sustava, kamenje u mjehuru, upale i drugi zdravstveni problemi mogu uzrokovati nekontrolirano mokrenje. Ako primijetite promjene u učestalosti mokrenja ili boji urina, obavezno se konzultirajte s veterinarom.
Psi mogu mokriti po stanu kao odgovor na stresne situacije, promjene u okruženju ili razdvajanje od vlasnika. Ovo se naziva anksioznim mokrenjem.
Stariji psi često imaju slabiju kontrolu nad mokrenjem zbog starenja mišića i drugih fizioloških promjena. Ako pas nema dovoljno prilika za izlazak vani i obavljanje nužde, može se suočiti s problemima nekontroliranog mokrenja.

Kako rješavati problem nekontroliranog mokrenja
Ako primijetite promjene u ponašanju svog psa ili učestalost nekontroliranog mokrenja, prvo se obratite veterinaru kako biste isključili zdravstvene probleme.
Ako je problem nedostatak obuke, posvetite više vremena i truda u trening svog psa. Koristite pozitivno pojačanje i nagrađivanje kako biste ga potaknuli da obavlja nuždu vani. Ako je stres ili anksioznost uzrok problema, razmislite o konzultaciji s veterinarom ili stručnjakom za ponašanje pasa kako biste razvili strategiju za upravljanje stresnim situacijama.
Osigurajte da vaš pas ima dovoljno prilika za izlazak vani i obavljanje nužde. Redoviti šetnje i izlasci su ključni za prevenciju nekontroliranog mokrenja. Ako pas mokri po stanu, brzo i temeljito očistite nered kako biste spriječili ponavljanje. Psi često mokre na ista mjesta ako mogu osjetiti miris urina.

UŠLI smo u prosinac, mjesec poznat po blagdanskim partyjima, adventu i drugim prigodama u kojima vrijedi zablistati. Sada već tradicionalno, jedna se boja posebno povezuje s ovim periodom u godini – crvena. Ona uspješno lovi tu svečanu notu, ali je ujedno i simbol topline, strasti i radosti koji dolazi s ovim, po mnogima, najljepšim dobom godine.
Jedan od najlakših načina da prigrlite moć crvene boje tijekom blagdana je da je uključite u svoju garderobu. To može biti u vidu neke lijepe haljine, trenutno jako popularnih crvenih hulahupki ili podjednako popularnih crvenih kaputa. No ako biste radije crvenu ukomponirali na drugačiji način, to može biti i u vidu nekog manjeg detalja poput šala ili torbe.
Pregledali smo ponudu trgovina i izdvojili najljepše komade, ali i one o kojima društvene mreže posljednjih dana bruje kao o must-have komadima ovoga prosinca.
Crvene haljine
Zara
Pojedine Zarine crvene haljine osvojile su društvene mreže, ali zbog popularnosti brojevi brzo nestaju s polica. Izdvojili smo dva hit modela koja se još uvijek mogu naći na stanju. No vjerujemo ne i zadugo.
H&M
H&M ove godine općenito rastura, što s capsule kolekcijama, što s onim standardnima. Noviteti im vrlo često postanu viralni na društvenim mrežama i rasprodaju se u kratkom roku.
Tako je ove jeseni bila popularna jedna H&M-ova pletena crvena haljina, a sada su vratili sličnu za koju vjerujemo da će nestati s polica jako brzo. Osim toga, popularna je i jedna druga, malo elegantnija opcija idealna za partyje. Izdvojili smo ih ispod.
House of CB
Ova tiktokerica htjela je podijeliti kako stilizira svoju novu ogrlicu, ali sve je to palo u drugi plan kad se u kadru pojavila s crvenom haljinom. Video je generirao preko 2 milijuna pregleda, a mnogi su komentarima istaknuli da je haljina savršena. “Oduševila sam se crvenom haljinom. Nevjerojatna je”, “Haljina je savršena”, neki su od komentara.
Radi se o haljini Carmen londonskog brenda House of CB. Ova crvena haljina ženstvenog kroja ima steznik u gornjem dijelu i šire naramenice. Idealna je za ovu blagdansku sezonu ili bilo koju romantičnu prigodu.
Crveni kaputi
Idući na redu su crveni kaputi koji su ovog prosinca preuzeli društvene mreže te nam se čini da gotovo svaka modna kombinacija uključuje i njih. Izdvojili smo one popularne poznatih brendova niže, a koji su još uvijek na stanju. Naime, s obzirom na popularnost i traženost brzo nestaju s polica.

Crvene hulahupke
Društvenim mrežama osim onih termo, zavladale su i crvene hulahupke. Mnogi ih dodaju u svoje modne kombinacije da bi joj podarili malo svjetlije, žive boje. Što je posebno efektno ako je cijela kombinacija crna. Izdvojili smo nekoliko crvenih hulahupki niže.
Ostali crveni komadi
Na kraju izdvajamo neke druge crvene komade s kojima možete ovu it boju prosinca unijeti u svoje svakodnevne modne kombinacije. Poput npr. novih adidasovih tenisica s crvenim detaljima ili tamnocrvenih salonki, crvenog šala…

Spotify’s chief financial officer will step down next year, according to the music streaming service, just days after it announced its third round of layoffs for 2023. In a statement announcing CFO Paul Vogel’s departure, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said that the two had ‘come to the conclusion that Spotify is entering a new phase and needs a CFO with a different mix of experiences.’
Spotify said this week that it would be axing 17 per cent of its global workforce, citing the need to slash costs and become profitable. About 1,500 people will lose their jobs, a spokesperson confirmed to news agency Associated Press (AP).

Shortly after the layoffs were announced earlier this week, Spotify’s stock jumped about 8 per cent. On Tuesday, Vogel moved to sell more than $9.3 million worth of shares, according to securities filings. Two other senior executives also cashed in over $1.6 million in shares, according to a report by the Guardian.
Vogel will leave Spotify on March 31. Ben Kung, who currently serves as vice president of financial planning and analysis, “will take on expanded responsibilities” in the interim as Spotify searches for a successor externally, the company said in a blog post.
Stockholm-based Spotify posted a net loss of 462 million euros (about $500 million) for the nine months to September. The company announced in January that it was axing 6 per cent of total staff. In June, it cut staff by another 2 per cent, or about 200 workers, mainly in its podcast division.
Spotify posted a surprise profit in the third quarter and stronger-than-expected subscriber and user growth. The company raised the price of its subscription in the US and other major markets over the summer, a long-awaited increase the company said has not led to higher churn, according to a report by Wall Street Journal.

MUMBAI: Get well soon wishes for Shah Rukh Khan flooded social media platforms on Tuesday after reports emerged saying that the star was injured and underwent surgery in Los Angeles where he was shooting for a project.
Though there was no official confirmation from Khan’s office, sources close to him were quoted as saying that he received a minor nose injury and now was back home in Mumbai.
According to ETimes, Shah Rukh began bleeding and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
His team was informed by the doctors that there was nothing to worry about. There was no response from his team despite several attempts.
There is no update on when the actor got injured or the project he was shooting for.
Worried fans took to social media to wish the 57-year-old actor a speedy recovery.
“Get well soon my King, Allah is with you all the time,” a fan wrote on Twitter.
“I wish for ur speedy recovery sir! Get well soon. sending lots of love and positivity your way,” a fan tweeted.
Shares of MRF Ltd on Friday breached the ₹50,000-crore market cap on Friday as they were on a roll in the last few months.
The stock closed at ₹1,17.916.10 on the BSE, up 0.41 per cent, over previous day’s close ₹1,17,430.80. Today’s gain pushed the market-cap to ₹50,009.90 crore. MRF hit a 52-week high of ₹118,960 on Thursday.

However, MRF is the second largest market-cap company among tyre makers. Balkrishna Industries tops the list with ₹50,313.70 crore. Others such as Apollo Tyres (₹29,109.85 crore), Ceat (₹9,400.20 crore), JK Tyre & Industries (₹8,576.22 crore), TVS Srichakra (₹3,459.49 crore) and Goodyear India (₹3,042.10 crore) are far away in terms of market-cap.
Though MRF stock price is ruling over ₹1 lakh due to its low float (42.41 lakh shares), the market cap is much lower compared some of the prominent stocks. Due to large equity base, shares such as Reliance Industries (₹16.61-lakh crore), TCS (₹13.27-lakh crore), HDFC Bank (₹12.55-lakh crore), ICICI Bank (₹7-lakh crore), Infosys (₹6.18-lakh crore), HUL (₹5.92-lakh crore), Bharti Airtel (₹5.62-lakh crore), ITC (₹5.60-lakh crore), SBI (₹5.48-lakh crore) and LIC (₹4.89-lakh crore) command higher market-cap despite their respective share prices ruling much lower when compared with MRF.
I was listening to a conversation in an ad agency about ChatGPT, which sounded like Generative AI — and vice versa. The conversation suggested that both were the same and that they were about cool fantasy visuals basically. That’s about 1 per cent of Generative AI, and I thought I should clear the air, so here goes.
To start with, Generative AI — Gen AI — encompasses any AI system that creates content, while ChatGPT is a specific implementation of generative AI tailored for text-based conversations. Gen AI has many applications, from marketing to gaming to architecture. Think machines conjuring up art, code, marketing strategies, fashion designs, traffic control plans and so on.
Here are some fun applications that are changing the world as we know it.
Fashion: The partnership between designers and Generative AI is all about leveraging AI’s ability to process massive datasets aligned to the designer’s imagination — or lack of it.
Marketing: Generative AI sifts through colossal datasets to predict emerging trends, empowering marketers to be trendsetters rather than followers. In media buying, Generative AI, with its blend of data-driven insights and creative sparks, ushers in a future where media campaigns are more targeted, engaging, and resonant than ever before.
Healthcare: Generative AI is ushering in a new era of virtual health assistants. These AI-powered avatars can answer medical queries, provide information about symptoms, and even offer guidance on self-care measures. They’re available 24/7, of course — on your phone.
Architecture: Generative AI can analyse site conditions, climate data, and even local cultural influences to generate designs that are tailor-made for their locations.
Policy: Generative AI offers a virtual playground to simulate policy scenarios, helping policymakers anticipate outcomes and make informed choices without waiting for real-world experimentation.
Political campaigns: By analysing vast amounts of data, Gen AI can identify key issues, sentiments, and trends that resonate with voters, enabling campaigns to tailor their messages for maximum impact.
Traffic Management: Generative AI doesn’t just analyse data; it anticipates traffic. By examining historical patterns, events, and even weather conditions, AI can predict congestion hotspots and offer alternative routes, saving commuters from traffic jams.
Marriage Brokers: Generative AI delves deep into the intricacies of individual preferences, personality traits, and values — by analysing colossal datasets, AI matches profiles that go beyond surface-level traits, promising compatibility and eternal compatibility — and perhaps love.
HR Recruitment: Generative AI goes beyond keywords; it understands context. By analysing resumes and cover letters, AI identifies transferable skills, experiences, and potential hidden gems that might be overlooked by traditional resume scanning. Even better, Generative AI offers an unbiased lens, focusing solely on qualifications and experiences, minimising the risk of discrimination and fostering diversity.
Gaming: Gen AI is crafting plots and landscapes, cooking up characters, and spinning narratives with more twists than a rollercoaster.
Mental Health: AI’s analytical prowess shines in psychiatric diagnosis. By analysing vast amounts of patient data, AI can identify patterns, behaviors, and risk factors, assisting psychiatrists in making more accurate and timely diagnoses.
Video Editing for Influencers: Video editing can be tricky and time-consuming. Generative AI offers many apps that offer automated video editing suggestions, simplifying the process while maintaining the influencer’s signature style.
Coding: Generative AI can write code, squash bugs, and optimise algorithms with a finesse that would make veteran developers nod in approval. Whether you need a snippet or an entire program, AI is here to turn your coding conundrums into elegant solutions.
Hospitality: Generative AI is reinventing pricing, by juggling historical data, local events, and demand patterns to optimise pricing strategies that attract guests while maximising revenue.
Climate Change: Generative AI is aiding climate scientists in creating complex climate models and analysing environmental data. It helps predict climate patterns, simulate environmental scenarios, and explore potential solutions for fighting extreme climate change.
Pollution: Generative AI can analyse vast amounts of data from air quality sensors, meteorological sources, and historical pollution levels to predict future air quality conditions. This information can be used for early warnings and real-time monitoring to guide pollution mitigation strategies.
In sum, Generative AI is not just a tool; it’s a catalyst for evolution. It’s reshaping our understanding of creativity, problem-solving, and the very nature of human-machine collaboration.

ZASLAĐENA hrana nema baš najbolju reputaciju. I ptice na grani znaju da gazirana pića, zaslađene sokove i slatkiše treba izbjegavati. No teško je odoljeti slatkim guštima i nerealno je očekivati da ćemo u potpunosti izbaciti zaslađene proizvode iz prehrane. Ipak, koliko šećera je previše?
Stručnjaci upozoravaju da dnevni unos šećera ne bi smio premašiti 25 grama, što je ekvivalentno 6 čajnih žličica. To je ukupno oko 10% dnevnog preporučenog kalorijskog unosa. A evo i koje su sve opasnosti od prekomjerne konzumacije šećera.
1. Porast šećera u krvi
Ugljikohidrati, uključujući šećer, brzo se probavljaju i oslobađaju u naš krvotok. Šećeri su jedna od najmanjih molekula ugljikohidrata, tako da im ne treba puno vremena da uđu u naš krvotok. Povećana konzumacija šećera u prehrani može dovesti do povećanja šećera u krvi tijekom vremena, što povećava rizik od dijabetesa tipa 2, bolesti srca, visokog krvnog tlaka te moždanog udara.
2. Porast krvnog tlaka
Visok krvni tlak obično se povezuje s pretjeranom konzumacijom soli, ali on je također direktno povezan s povećanim unosom šećera u organizam.
3. Promjene u mentalnom zdravlju
Fluktuacija šećera u krvi i rastuća razina kortizola dovode do smanjenja energije, a zatim se osjećate razdražljivo, umorno, ili čak tužno. Osim toga, postoji i veza između prekomjerne konzumacije šećera i depresije.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
4. Debljanje i veća potreba za slatkim
Pretjerani unos šećera, osobito ako dolazi iz pića zaslađenih šećerom, povezuje se s većom tjelesnom težinom i većom vjerojatnošću pretilosti.
5. Nakupljanje masti u jetri
Šećer se, u kontekstu kalorijskog viška, probavlja i pohranjuje tijekom vremena kao tjelesna mast. Višak tjelesne masnoće povezan je s povećanim naslagama masne jetre poznate i kao nealkoholna masna bolest jetre (NAFLD). Ova vas bolest može izložiti većem riziku od dijabetesa, visokog krvnog tlaka i bolesti srca.
6. Hormonalne promjene
Stanja povezana s hormonima poput sindroma policističnih jajnika mogu biti pod utjecajem izbora prehrane i načina života. Mjereni unos šećera može uvelike poboljšati ravnotežu hormona u našem tijelu.
7. Veći rizik od nekih vrsta raka
Možda jedna od najstrašnijih informacija je da pretjerani unos šećera može povećati rizik od nekih vrsta raka. Studija iz 2020. sugerira da dodani šećeri u desertima, mliječnim proizvodima i pićima mogu doprinijeti tom riziku, osobito za rak dojke.

NAJVEĆI procvat švicarskih luksuznih satova u povijesti bliži se kraju. Tri godine industrija je uživala u naletu obnovljenog interesa koji je započeo tijekom pandemije, kada su bogati(ji) potrošači koji su ostali kod kuće počeli težiti za luksuznim mehaničkim ručnim satovima legendarnih švicarskih marki.
Ta turbo potražnja za satovima Audemars Pigueta, Rolexa i drugih potaknula je izvoz švicarskih satova na rekordne razine – gotovo 25 milijardi franaka (26.5 milijardi eura) u 2022. No sada tome dolazi kraj jer višestruki pritisci uzimaju danak.
Neki od njih su izvan kontrole industrije poput viših kamatnih stopa i nestabilnog gospodarskog rasta. No tu su i agresivno povećanje cijena i povećanje proizvodnje unutar same industrije, piše Bloomberg.
Pogođen je cijeli sektor luksuzne robe
U konačnici sve to pogađa način razmišljanja nekoć bezbrižnih potrošača i njihovu spremnost da se rasipaju. Proizvođači satova bilježe smanjenje potražnje posljednjih mjeseci, dok su cijene na sekundarnim tržištima pale. I direktori su počeli prihvaćati da se stvari ubrzano mijenjaju nagore.
“Ono što smo vidjeli 2021. i 2022. bilo je izvan norme”, rekao je Francois-Henry Bennahmias, glavni izvršni direktor tvrtke Audemars Piguet, čiji se satovi u trgovinama prodaju u prosjeku za oko 50.000 švicarskih franaka (oko 53.000 eura). “Nismo mogli ni slutiti da ćemo ovo doživjeti u životu. Vjerujem da ovo više nikada nećemo vidjeti.”
Ovo smanjenje prodaje luksuznih satova pridružuje se trenutnoj slabosti cijelog sektora luksuzne robe, a u sklopu kojeg su tvrtke od LVMH-a do Kering SA imale pad prodaje zbog inflacije i zabrinutosti zbog recesije. Ako se ta situacija nastavi, potkopat će moć određivanja cijena i izvršiti pritisak na smanjenje marži i dobiti.
Vrijednosti rabljenih satova padaju već više od godinu dana
Pad prodaje luksuznih satova otkriven je u studenom kada je Richemont, vlasnik Cartiera, izvijestio o polugodišnjim rezultatima koji su pokazali pad prodaje satova od 3% i sveukupan pad od 17% u Americi. Švicarski luksuzni konglomerat posjeduje neke od vrhunskih marki uključujući Vacheron Constantin – jednog od pripadnika takozvanog Svetog trojstva švicarskih proizvođača.
“Luksuzi (nažalost) nisu otporni na recesiju”, napisali su analitičari HSBC-a prošlog mjeseca upozoravajući da je to zbogom “zvjezdanom rastu” u godinama nakon pandemije. Izvoz švicarskih satova pao je u srpnju prvi put u više od dvije godine, a prosječni rast u posljednjim mjesecima bio je daleko ispod tempa u prvom polugodištu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Za rabljene satove vrijednosti padaju već više od godinu dana. Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, koji prati 50 modela kojima se najviše trguje prema vrijednosti, pao je oko 42% od svog vrhunca u travnju 2022. Sve je to daleko od dobrih vremena koja su započela kada je došla pandemija početkom 2020.
Tijekom pandemije mnogi (bogati) su se odlučili na kupnju luksuznog sata
Proizvodni pogoni su tada bili zatvoreni kako bi se uskladili s izolacijom zbog covida, a zatvorene su bile i trgovine, čime je zaustavljena osobna prodaja. Tvrtke su se bojale ponavljanja kvarcne krize iz 1970-ih i 80-ih koja je dovela do propasti više od polovice marki u industriji. Umjesto toga dogodilo se suprotno.
Pandemija je podsjetila dobrostojeće da život može biti krhak i kratak. Inspirirani novom generacijom influencera na društvenim mrežama na Instagramu i YouTubeu koji su se hvalili Rolexom Daytonom ili Patekom Nautilusom, odlučili su da će, kad se stvari vrate u normalu, ponovno izaći u svijet s luksuznim satom na ruci.
Dok su se urari vraćali u svoje klupe, susreli su se s velikim zaostacima i ogromnim listama čekanja u trgovinama. Čak je došlo do pompe na jeftinijem dijelu tržišta kada je Swatch u ožujku 2022. izdao svoj MoonSwatch, jeftiniju verziju slavnog Omega Speedmastera, prvog sata koji se nosio na Mjesecu.
Rekordan izvoz švicarskih satova bio je 2021. i 2022., potom je uslijedio pad
Procvat je podigao izvoz švicarskih satova na rekord 2021., kada je SAD prestigao Kinu kao najveće tržište, i ponovno 2022. Sektor je bio na putu za još jednu najbolju izvedbu po vrijednosti ove godine, ali to je to uglavnom bio rezultat prvog dijela godine.
“Rujan i listopad bili su teški”, rekao je Ben Kűffer, izvršni direktor obiteljskog Norqaina, koji proizvodi sportske satove po početnoj cijeni od 3000 do 5000 franaka (između 3000 i 5300 eura). “Mnogo sporije nego inače. U SAD-u je to definitivno bilo sporije”, rekao je, ističući da je rat Hamasa i Izraela pridonio promjeni raspoloženja potrošača.
Kűffer je očekivao da će prodaja ove godine porasti za 50%, ali je tu prognozu potom smanjio na 30%. Listopadsko izvješće za industriju pokazalo je povećanje od 5% na godišnjoj razini, ali u porastu su bili jeftiniji satovi.
Švicarska industrija satova značajna je i po utjecaju unutar popularne kulture (James Bond) i po financijskom rastu. Globalna maloprodaja iznosila je ukupno oko 48 milijardi franaka (oko 50 milijardi eura) u 2022., prema procjenama Morgan Stanleya. Za samu Švicarsku, to je važan dio gospodarstva, treći najveći izvozni sektor koji zapošljava oko 60.000 ljudi.

Usporavanje se širi industrijom
Usporavanje se već širi industrijom. Dobavljači komponenti sa sjedištem u Švicarskoj koji su nekoć tragali za osobljem počeli su smanjivati radna mjesta, izjavilo je nekoliko rukovoditelja urara. Hodinkee, utjecajni američki pružatelj sadržaja i prodavač satova, nedavno je proveo drugi krug otpuštanja.
No neke od novonastalih slabosti mogle bi biti zasluge same industrije. Kako je potražnja bujala, a inflacija skočila – povećavajući troškove – dovela je do prilike za povećanjem cijena. Industrijski div Rolex, koji proizvodi više od milijun satova godišnje s prodajom procijenjenom na više od 9 milijardi franaka (9.5 milijardi eura), dvaput je povisio cijene u 2022.
Brendovi Swatch grupe Omega, Longines i Tissot povisili su cijene u Europi i Velikoj Britaniji u veljači. Jaeger-LeCoultre dodao je više od 20% na cijenu nekih modela, dok je Richemont A. Lange & Sohne iz Njemačke također podigao cijene. Uz rast cijena, urari su na potražnju odgovorili i povećanjem proizvodnje.
“Trenutno postoji mnogo satova na tržištu”, rekao je Rolf Studer, jedan od izvršnih direktora Orisa, obiteljske tvrtke osnovane 1904. “Potrošači imaju drugih problema ili pronalaze druge načine da potroše svoj novac, tako da postoji posvuda puno zaliha.”
“Kupac je taj koji je kralj”
Malo je rukovoditelja industrije satova vidjelo više ciklusa rasta i pada iz prve ruke od Jean-Claude Bivera. On je čovjek koji je potrošio oko 20.000 franaka (oko 21 tisuća eura) da kupi i oživi brend Blancpain 1982. prije nego što ga je desetljeće kasnije prodao Swatchu za 60 milijuna franaka (oko 63 milijuna eura).
Također odgovoran za stavljanje Omege na zapešće Jamesa Bonda kada je bio na čelu brenda. Biver je rekao da Švicarci uvijek na kraju proizvedu previše satova čak i kada potražnja opadne. Za njega, nakon što je nedavno sa sinom pokrenuo novi vrhunski brend Biver, radi se o primatu kupca.
“Trebali smo naučiti, ali još nismo naučili jer nemamo dovoljno skromnosti”, rekao je. “Malo smo arogantni. Ponašamo se kao da smo kraljevi kupaca – a kupac je taj koji je kralj. Ove uloge nikada ne biste trebali preokrenuti.”
Santos FC suffered a massive blow as they were relegated from the Brazilian Top flight Serie A, first time in their 111 years history following a 2-1 home defeat against Fortaleza in their final league match of the season. Heading into the final game of the season, Santos needed a win to be safe or else they had to wait for results of other games. With Santos level at 1-1, Vasco da Gama – drawing 1-1 with Red Bull Bragantino – occupied the fourth relegation spot in the 20-team division. But Serginho scored for Vasco in the 82nd minute and a stoppage-time winner from Fortaleza’s Lucero left Santos one point adrift of safety. After the match ended, the Santos players broke into tears in agony whole fans in the stands were spotted crying too. Flares and other objects were also thrown by the angry fans inside the ground following the match, security had to intervene to keep the footballers safe from the outrage. Ronaldinho In Awe! Ex-Footballer’s Elated Reaction While Watching World Teqball Championship 2023 Women’s Single Final Goes Viral (Watch Video).

Recognized as the most advanced gaming console currently available, the PS5 boasts unparalleled graphics, processing power, and an extensive library of games that push the boundaries of realism. However, to fully unlock the potential of this gaming powerhouse, the importance of a high-quality monitor cannot be overstated. The PS5, with its support for high refresh rate gaming, demands a display that can keep pace with its capabilities.
A monitor tailored for the PS5 not only complements the console’s prowess but becomes a crucial conduit for delivering a class-apart gaming experience.

A R Rahman’s compositions become vessels of emotional intensity, igniting a fire within the depths of the hearts and minds of all who encounter them. Themes of love, unity, and justice become the bedrock upon which his compositions are built, intertwining art and activism in a symphonic tapestry of sonorous pieces and mind-bending lyrics. The new song Raasa Kannu from Maamannan (that was released recently) forges an astounding sonic collage that transcends the boundaries of creativity. Excerpts…
How did your composition Raasa Kaanu come about? As an artiste, I have always believed in the power of growth and evolution. To me, it’s essential to venture beyond my comfort zone. These emerging talents bring a fresh perspective to the table. They possess a striking vision and an innovative approach to storytelling that invigorates me. By working with them, I am able to shed any old judgments or preconceived notions I may have and genuinely embrace the unknown.
It’s a liberating feeling, to let go of the familiar and open myself up to new ideas. I find that the energy and creativity of these young directors push me to explore uncharted territories in my music. They compel me to break free from any creative limitations and think outside the box.
AR Rahman
You embrace music technology while mixing it with classical instruments… Indeed, music technology plays a significant role in my creative process, serving as an invaluable tool to enhance and augment my musical ideas. It acts as an extension of my thought process, allowing me to explore and experiment with a wide range of sounds and textures.
One of the key advantages of music technology is the convenience it offers. In the past, sharing music involved recording on cassettes or CDs and physically delivering them. Now, with the advent of digital platforms and communication tools, I can effortlessly transmit my musical ideas through email or text messages.
This seamless exchange of ideas accelerates the creative process, enabling me to collaborate with artistes across the globe. Furthermore, the internet has revolutionised the music industry, making our work more efficient and accessible.
But it can never replace the essence of human artistry. It is merely a tool, a means to an end. The depth of emotions, the nuances of expression, and the authenticity of live performances are elements that technology cannot replicate. It is the fusion of technology and the human touch that creates the most captivating musical experiences.
How have your music compositions transitioned with technology? One significant change is the portability and accessibility of music production tools. In the past, I would have to carry bulky equipment weighing over 100 kilograms on flights, which was not only cumbersome but also limited my creative freedom.
However, with the evolution of technology, the powerful tools and equipment I need for music composition are now condensed into a laptop and a hard drive. This newfound convenience allows me to work efficiently from anywhere, whether it’s in the studio, on the road, or even while travelling.
Another advantage is the availability of multiple setups. With the use of virtual instruments, software plugins, and digital workstations, I can create multiple musical arrangements and experiment with different sounds and textures. Also, the kids are fast learners now and as a team, we can work better without compromising on quality.
As a composer, how has Sufism, your spiritual path, fuelled your creativity? Sufism, at its core, is a path of spiritual awakening and union with the divine. It has instilled in me a deep sense of intentionality in everything I do. It prompts me to ask myself why I create certain melodies, harmonies, and rhythms, and how they contribute to the overall unity and message of my work.
Each composition becomes a reflection of my journey towards connecting with the infinite. Music, in its essence, is a powerful medium that attempts to bridge the gap between the smaller light within us and the bigger light of the universe. It allows us to express our yearning for transcendence and to touch the sublime.
Through the language of music, we strive to reach a higher level of consciousness, both in our creative process and in our lives as a whole. In the chaos and noise of our daily lives, music serves as a means to find inner peace and tranquillity. It provides us with the tools to navigate through the clutter and distractions, enabling us to find our way to a place of harmony and unity.
It empowers us to control our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to channel our intentionality into the pure expression of music. It is a constant practice of compartmentalising our minds, blocking out distractions and disturbances, and focusing solely on the intention of creating pure and meaningful music. Like they say, can you be at a sublime level in a chaotic place? Can you train your mind to do that?

In the fortnight gone by, brands were in full festive mood putting out Onam and Raksha Bandhan campaigns —but it was food delivery platform Swiggy that broke the Internet with its joyous Kerala feast ad.
Swiggy’s sadhya
Pulsating music, zany lyrics, a lot of humour and improvisation — Swiggy’s digital film on Onam had it all. Created by Mind Your Language, the ad opens with a spirited game of tug-of-war until someone says the Sadhya is ready. Everyone ditches the game to rush indoors for the meal. The sparring teams then launch into a singing war warbling about the different items of food to the tune of AR Rahman hit Padakaali. At the end of the meal, someone complains that there were only three types of payasam. Instantly, a Swiggy order brings forth the fourth payasam. The film ends on a shot of the satiated feasters snoozing even as the brand pitches its Onam feast offer.
Federal Bank’s feast
The Onam sadhya features as a metaphor in Federal Bank’s festive campaign. The crisply narrated film shows different people contributing to the various items on the plantain leaf. From Neha’s upperi and sharkaravaratti, to Sureshettan’s inchipuli, Gopi uncle’s erisheri, to Tara’s beetroot pachady, the dishes keep adding to the diversity on the leaf. Everyone’s contribution and sense of ownership brings a special flavour to the feast — mirroring Federal Bank’s way of service with a personal touch.
Real’s Raksha bandhan
The danger with many of the Raksha Bandhan ads is that they tend to get syrupy. Dabur’s Real Juice Rakhi ad is delightfully refreshing as it begins with a fight. An upset sister — Sheeba Chadha playing the part with panache — is berating her brother for losing her rakhi. She is about to return the gift her brother gave her, when her sister-in-law brings her a box full of a collection of rakhis from over the years that her brother has kept safe.
Amazon delivers the love
Amazon’s Raksha Bandhan ad ticks many boxes — it weaves in the constant Amazon deliveries that happen in a home, what we can do with all those cartons and the joy of a handmade present that transcends material gifts. The film shows how a little boy has squirrelled away all the Amazon cardboard boxes and made a train out of it, which he gifts his sister on Raksha Bandhan. His little sister is ecstatic with the gift. A heart-warming film full of traditional values.
Beauty and the beholder
Nykaa has released four digital films to promote its beauty retail. The Kya Khoob Lagte Ho series directed by Prasoon Pandey and conceptualised by The Script Room show loving real life exchanges that show that beauty is not only what the eye perceives but lies in the heart too.
KAKO bi se pripremila za globalnu turneju Eras, Taylor Swift morala je naporno raditi. U sklopu svakog koncerta, 33-godišnjakinja mora otpjevati 40 pjesama, plesati i promijeniti 16 kostima u 180 minuta.
U svom prvom velikom intervjuu u gotovo četiri godine, pjevačica je progovorila o intenzivnom režimu koji joj je pomogao doći u top formu.
“Znala sam da je ova turneja teža od ičega što sam ikad napravila”, rekla je za časopis Time, koji ju je proglasio osobom 2023. godine.
Swift kaže da je počela trenirati šest mjeseci prije prvog koncerta.
“Svaki dan bih trčala na traci za trčanje, pjevajući naglas cijelu listu pjesama”, dodala je.
Kada su u pitanju brze pjesme, poput The Man, trčala bi sprint, dok bi na sporije pjesme, kao što je Cardigan, usporavala do laganog trčanja.

Zašto istovremeno trčanje i pjevanje poboljšava kondiciju?
“Iako bi istovremeno trčanje i pjevanje moglo zvučati bizarno, to je zapravo vrlo učinkovit način da poboljšate svoju kondiciju. Kad pjevate, duboko dišete i vježbate mišiće poput dijafragme, pluća i trbušnih mišića. Povećanje kapaciteta pluća pomoći će poboljšati vašu ukupnu izdržljivost, a s vremenom ćete vidjeti da možete trčati veće udaljenosti, a da se ne osjećate kao da ostajete bez daha”, pojasnila je trenerica Sarah Campus.
Nekoliko studija koje su ispitivale zdravlje opernih pjevača pokazalo je da pjevanje može koristiti zdravlju srca, pa čak i sagorijevati kalorije.
Taylor je u intervjuu rekla da je u pripreme uključila i vježbe za jačanje snage, kondicije i mišićne mase te da je tri mjeseca prije turneje s koreografkinjom Mandy Moore počela raditi na plesnim koracima.
Obično odradi dva ili tri nastupa zaredom, nakon čega slijede slobodni dani prije nego što ponovno izađe na pozornicu. Zvijezda je priznala da joj treba cijeli dan da se oporavi nakon što završi niz nastupa te da nakon toga “jedva može govoriti” ili hodati.
“Prvi dan nakon nastupa ne napuštam krevet osim da uzmem hranu i odnesem je natrag u krevet”, otkrila je.
