Kisankonnect, a fully integrated fresh produce agro start-up, has raised Rs 31 crore ($3.74 million) in its pre-series A round of funding, the company said in a press note on Monday (January 15, 2024).
The fresh funding round was led by a marquee Climate tech-focused fund, Green Frontier Capital (GFC). Other investors, like Dhanuka Agritech Limited, VC Grid, and other family offices, also participated in the round.
In May 2023, the agritech firm KisanKonnect raised its angel round of funding, in which Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty also took part.
“The company’s commitment ensures that fresh produce arrives on your plate at lightning speed. We’re deeply passionate about an eco-friendly future, and Kisankonnect’s groundbreaking supply chain is a game-changer. Teaming up with them excites us, as together, we’re sure to make a tangible impact in reducing carbon emissions in the agricultural sector,” said Sandiip Bhammer, managing partner and founder of GFC.
Kisankonnect sources directly from farmers and physically delivers to over 1 lakh clients in Mumbai and Pune via its own D2C App and Farm Stores. It collaborates closely with the farmer community to grow food responsibly while also utilising its in-house technologies to bring fresh vegetables and fruits to customers via its distribution channel. It also makes and distributes handpicked agri-produce and hand-made preservative-free snacks under the ‘Village Staples’ and ‘Mom’s Kitchen’ labels. These are made solely by rural women in a sanitary central kitchen.
Benchmark equity indices reached historic highs in the early trading session on Monday, as the Sensex crossed the 73,000 milestone and the Nifty surpassed the significant 22,000-mark. The surge was attributed to a robust rally in IT stocks, with the 30-share BSE Sensex gaining 720.33 points to set a new record at 73,288.78. Meanwhile, the Nifty climbed 187.4 points, reaching an all-time high of 22,081.95.
Commenting on Nifty outlook, Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said, “We will begin the week with expectations of 22240 or 22400 as the likely objectives. An interim rest point on the way up is 22013. Collapse theories are not strong now yet. Meanwhile, downside markers may be placed in the vicinity of 21835/790 for now.”

Dr V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said, “The rally in the market, primarily driven by momentum, is now getting support from fundamentals. The sharp bounce in large-cap IT stocks on the back of slightly positive management commentary indicates that an underperforming segment can surprise on the upside on news of a turnaround in the sector. The IT index which shot up by 5% on Friday will remain firm since HCL Tech and Wipro have more room on the upside.
He added that the nifty has broken out on the upside from the consolidation range and shows signs of further up move. “An important driver of the rally is RIL which is moving up on large delivery based buying on news of commissioning of the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy project in H2 of 2024. RIL, large cap IT and banking majors can provide fodder for the bulls in the near-term.“
ICRA Analytics commented that the key benchmark indices reached a fresh high, supported by buying across the sectors. “Information technology stocks contributed significantly to the gains after two index heavyweight leading IT companies posted better than expected Q3 earnings, which boosted optimism of better-than-expected results among the market participants for the remaining major IT companies,” added.

On the BSE, stocks advanced as of 10:08 am were 1,786 against 1,495 stocks that declined; 119 stocks remain unchanged. Total stocks traded were 3,400. The number of stocks that recorded a 52-week high was 354, and those that hit a 52-week low was 9.
Imagine a fat book devoted to the art of sitting! From the Frugal to the Ornate, Stories of the Seat in India is a delightful chronicle of an everyday object that is indispensable in our lives. The book, put together by Sarita Sundar, a researcher, designer and writer, is brought out by Godrej Archives, and takes you on a journey of mats, moodahs, sofas, chairs and more through the ages. From the rural to the regal, the lounge chair to the office chair, it’s all documented there in loving detail. The company has been promoting the book through discussions and exhibits.
Why would Godrej Archives spend so much resource and time producing a voluminous tome on chairs? Jamshyd N Godrej, Chairman and Managing Director Godrej & Boyce explains in his note in the book, “With this book, we also reflect on Godrej’s vast contribution of almost a century to the modern furniture industry in India.”
Tracing the roots
In a most subtle way, the book conveys the brand values of Godrej products. And it also beautifully details the historical trends and patterns that shaped the brand’s products.
The aim and purpose of Godrej Archives, set up by Sohrab Godrej in 1997 when the company was celebrating its centenary was to document its business history but as Vrunda Pathare, Head of Godrej Archives, explains, “We also realised that it’s not just the story of Godrej, as companies don’t operate in a vacuum. It had to be closely connected with what was happening in the nation – the trends, the consumer patterns. It was a larger history that we were looking at and we were trying to position Godrej within that larger history.”
For instance, in the 1930s, when thanks to TISCO and IISCO steel production really climbed in the country, it influenced the move to steel furniture, and steel began defining the concept of modernity. Trends like those are captured.

As Pathare points out, several organisations — the Tatas, SBI , RBI — have painstakingly documented their business histories and increasingly more–like Wipro and Cipla are beginning to dive into their pasts. But where Godrej takes a different tack is in the width of its perspectives. As Pathare says, “Corporate past need not be just specific to the management practices or hardcore business history, but it can even be about the consumers’ history.”
This realisation actually came in, Pathare, says when they started interacting with people who had Godrej products and discovered the deep emotional connects they had with them. “You know — the steel cupboards, the refrigerator and so on, people had so many stories.”
That’s actually when the Archives unit began to think about inviting scholars. Just before the lockdown, it started a Scholar-in-Residence Program with Lakshmi Subramaniam, Visiting professor, BITS Pilani, Goa, becoming the first scholar. “She started looking at three products, which is the Godrej Storewel, the Godrej refrigerator and a chair. And completed a monograph.”

While the formal scholar in residence programme has started only recently, in 2009, when Godrej closed down its typewriter manufacturing, it realised that it was its responsibility as the last manufacturer of the product to tell the story of the typewriter. After all this was a product that had impacted many lives, and made many careers. That’s when the idea of publications really began.
Apart from the typewriter and the chair’s stories, the unit has also documented people stories. For instance, a few years ago, the Archives team captured the story of the Navganis, a migrant community that has worked as loaders in Godrej factories since 1940.
The outside world can enjoy the work of the archives by visiting the permanent exhibition at the Godrej campus. But more importantly, the work of the archives is closely integrated into many functions of the company itself — HR, corporate communications, brand building and so on. “Establishing the value of archives in the normal business processes is something that we always worked on,” says Pathare.
And it is not just the past the Archives team is diving into. It is constantly documenting the ever changing present as well for posterity.
DANAS je Plavi ponedjeljak (engl. Blue Monday), dan koji se smatra najdepresivnijim u godini. Ova oznaka nije utemeljena na znanstvenim činjenicama, već se često koristi kao marketinški trik. Ipak, mnogi ljudi osjećaju veće emocionalne izazove tijekom zimskih mjeseci kada su dani kraći, temperature niže, a praznici daleko iza nas.
Teoriju o Plavom ponedjeljku uspostavio je 2004. Cliff Arnall, velški psiholog koji je predavao u večernjoj školi edukacijskog centra Sveučilišta u Cardiffu. Samoprozvani guru u obzir je uzeo niz faktora, uključujući vremenske uvjete, dugove, vrijeme koje je prošlo od Božića i motivaciju.
Arnallova formula glasi: [W + (D – d)] x TQ / M x Na. W označava vrijeme, D dugove, d mjesečnu plaću, T vrijeme od Božića, Q vrijeme u kojem smo odustali od novogodišnjih odluka, M razinu motivacije, a Na osjećaj da trebamo poduzeti neke korake.
“Prvo su me pitali da dođem do dana za koji mislim da je najbolji za rezerviranje ljetnog odmora. Kad sam počeo razmišljati o motivima za bukiranje praznika, prisjećajući se onoga što su mi tisuće ljudi govorile tijekom posla ili radionica, ovi faktori upućivali su na to da je treći ponedjeljak u siječnju posebno depresivan”, objasnio je za The Daily Telegraph 2013.
Dr. Dean Burnett kritizira koncept Plavog ponedjeljka. Smatra da je znanstveno besmislen i potencijalno štetan.
“Ako znate nešto o psihologiji, mentalnom zdravlju ili samo funkcioniranju stvarnog svijeta, Plavi ponedjeljak nema apsolutno nikakvog smisla. Ipak, dugi niz godina prati se u medijima kao da je to utvrđena činjenica. Tjedni nakon Božića uvijek su relativno jadni zbog lošeg vremena, financija iscrpljenih praznicima, nema prigoda za slavlje, svi se pokušavaju držati dijete i slično”, rekao je.
Kako prevladati osjećaje tuge i depresije tijekom najdepresivnijeg dana u godini?
Osvježite svoje ciljeve i prioritete: Plavi ponedjeljak može biti prilika da se ponovno fokusirate na svoje ciljeve i prioritete za godinu koja je tek započela. Postavljanje novih ciljeva ili revidiranje postojećih može vam dati osjećaj svrhe i motivacije.

Napravite plan za fizičku aktivnost: Tijelo i um često su povezani pa redovita tjelovježba može poboljšati vaše raspoloženje. Odlazak u šetnju, trčanje ili vježbanje u teretani mogu vam pomoći osloboditi endorfine, prirodne kemikalije za smanjenje stresa.
Povežite se s prijateljima i obitelji: Socijalna podrška igra ključnu ulogu u borbi protiv depresije. Danas je savršen dan za poziv ili susret s dragim osobama koje vas mogu oraspoložiti i podići vaše raspoloženje.
Radite na svom mentalnom zdravlju: Plavi ponedjeljak može biti podsjetnik da se brinete o svom mentalnom zdravlju. Razgovarajte s terapeutom ili stručnjakom za mentalno zdravlje ako osjećate da vam je potrebna podrška ili terapija.
Dopustite si opuštanje: Ne zaboravite sebe i svoje potrebe. Uzmite si vremena za opuštanje i radite stvari koje vas ispunjavaju i donose radost, bilo da je to čitanje knjige, gledanje omiljenog filma ili meditacija.
Postavljanje ciljeva za svakodnevnu sreću: Umjesto da se usredotočite na jedan dan, razmislite o postavljanju ciljeva za svakodnevnu sreću tijekom cijele godine. To može uključivati male radosti i aktivnosti koje će vam pomoći održati pozitivan duh.

PRAŠAK za čišćenje Bar Keepers Frienda odavno je legendaran u ugostiteljskoj industriji. Sposoban je ukloniti tvrdokornu hrđu i nagomilane masnoće koje su se godinama zadržale na posuđu, štednjacima i pećnicama, ali i vratiti sjaj roštiljima.
Aktivni sastojak Bar Keepers Frienda je oksalna kiselina koja, jednostavno rečeno, razgrađuje molekule u naslagama hrđe, zagorjele i stvrdnute hrane te masnoće. Dok čisti mrlje, istovremeno polira površinu, čineći rabljeno posuđe svježim, sjajnim i, najvažnije, ponovno upotrebljivim.
Kako se koristi?
Prašak prospite na vlažno posuđe i započnite s ribanjem pomoću navlažene krpe ili spužve. Ovisno o tome koliko su vaše tave oštećene, može biti potrebno uložiti malo truda u čišćenje, no rezultati će opravdati dodatni napor.
Ovaj čistač u prahu izuzetno je efikasan ne samo u čišćenju lonaca i tava već ga možete koristiti i za uklanjanje mrlja, hrđe, tragova sapuna i mineralnih naslaga s umivaonika, aparata, površina koje nisu od kamena, kade, WC-a, pločica i vinila. Nemojte ga koristiti na površinama od zlata, srebra, poliranog kamena, lijevanog željeza te lakiranih, obojenih ili zrcalnih površina.
Mnogi su kupci za ovaj proizvod saznali od kuhara ili radnika u restoranu
Više od 5000 kupaca dalo je ovom proizvodu ocjenu s pet zvjezdica na Amazonu, a od tih ljudi mnogi su rekli da su za njega saznali od kuhara, zaposlenika restorana i vlasnika barova.

“Moj sin, koji je kuhar, mi je preporučio ovo”, napisala je jedna recenzentica. “Ne mogu vjerovati da sam živjela bez ovoga tako dugo. Ploča štednjaka blista, lonci izgledaju kao novi. Prvi put je bilo potrebno malo truda (ovisno o stanju stvari, moje su bile prilično zapuštene), ali je zaista očistilo.”
“Primijenio sam ovo na loncima, tavama i priboru od nehrđajućeg čelika, kao i na aluminijskim plehovima za kekse. Svi izgledaju gotovo kao novi”, podijelio je još jedan zadovoljni korisnik.
“Primijetio sam malo hrđe na sudoperu i bio sam zabrinut da je nikada neću moći ukloniti, pa sam odlučio isprobati ovo kao posljednju nadu, ne očekujući previše”, napisao je drugi korisnik. “No ne samo da je djelovalo, već nije zahtijevalo nikakav napor, i hrđa je potpuno nestala za manje od 60 sekundi!”
Bilo da želite smanjiti kućanske troškove produljenjem vijeka trajanja već posjedovanog posuđa ili se nadate izvući još nekoliko godina iz lonca ili tave koji ima posebnu sentimentalnu vrijednost, Bar Keepers Friend će vam biti od velike pomoći.

Riyadh, Jan 15: Vinicius Jr scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid thrashed FC Barcelona 4-1 to win the Spanish Supercup in Riyadh on Sunday night. Real Madrid tore Barca apart to confirm the worst fears about Barca’s recent form, which piled the pressure on coach Xavi Hernandez, whose side were second best in almost everything and also committed some basic errors in defense, reports Xinhua. While Barca struggled, Real Madrid looked quick and sharp, with two early goals quickly putting them on their way to victory. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti replaced Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal with Andriy Lunin after Kepa’s errors against Atletico Madrid in the semifinal. Toni Kroos was also in the starting 11 after being booed by the Saudi fans four days earlier. Vinicius opened his account in the seventh minute as he found a big space between the Barcelona central defenders to latch onto a through ball from Jude Bellingham to round Inaki Pena and score. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior Hits ‘Idol’ Cristiano Ronaldo’s Iconic ‘SIUUU’ Celebration After Scoring Against Barcelona in Spanish Super Cup 2023-24 Final (Watch Video).
The Brazilian doubled his account three minutes later after some more poor defending from Barca. The ball was slipped to Rodrygo who advanced into the acres of space behind him and squared for Vinicius to push the ball into an empty net. Barca had to react and they controlled possession, despite lacking the pace to trouble Madrid. In the 32nd minute, a ball into the Madrid area was headed to Robert Lewandowski who scored with a crisp volley from the edge of the box. Vinicius completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot five minutes before the break. Although Pedri fizzed a shot close for Barca on the stroke of halftime, Real Madrid’s Rodrygo added the fourth goal in the 63rd minute. Barca were reduced to 10 men in the 71st minute when Araujo was sent off for a second yellow card after another challenge on Vinicius.

Shyam Metalics and Energy’s (SMEL) Dec’23 volume stayed robust on finished steel front with revenue rate picking up.
Key points: Rebar shipments at 130kt rose to their highest-ever level for any month; pellet sales declined y-o-y and m-o-m, possibly due to lower spreads; Mittal Corp stainless steel plants continue to ramp up; and implied revenue rate is in excess of ₹1,220 crore per month now.
Going ahead, we believe revenue may be boosted by higher rebar sales (likely to stabilise at 1.8-2mtpa rate), ramp-up of stainless steel operations at Mittal Corp and (recently commissioned) sponge iron capacity.
That said, we trim our FY24E/FY25E EBITDA by 20/18 per cent, taking cognisance of adverse price- cost spread. Rolling over to FY26 earnings, we raise our target price to ₹780 (earlier ₹690).
We introduce FY26 estimates at this juncture when we expect contribution from additional revenue streams such as colour coated steel, pig iron and downstream steel products to lift EBITDA to ₹3,350 crore. Besides, the QIP proceeds worth ₹1,380 crore may sustain the net cash position of the company.
Key risks include: Higher-than-expected thermal coal prices, adverse pellet-iron ore price spread and delay in commissioning of capacities.
ODRŽAVANJE zdravlja zahtijeva konzumiranje ispravne hrane. Iako često prioritet dajemo tjelovježbi, prehrana je vitalni aspekt koji se ne smije zanemariti. Ideja zdrave prehrane često asocira na neukusna jela koja nas ostavljaju neispunjenima.
Međutim, usvajanje rutine zdrave prehrane ne mora uvijek značiti žrtvovanje okusa i uživanja. Uključivanje ovih jednostavnih, praktičnih savjeta može nam pomoći da uspostavimo dosljedne i zdrave prehrambene navike.
1. Nemojte žuriti s procesom
Kada pojedinci žele postići željenu tjelesnu građu, često žure kroz proces u pokušaju postizanja brzih rezultata. Možda neće u potpunosti razumjeti predanost potrebnu za postizanje svog cilja, jer su često pod utjecajem nerealnih slika transformacija.
Ovaj pristup je uzaludan, jer je put do zdravog načina života i idealnog tijela dugoročan pothvat koji zahtijeva potpunu promjenu načina života.
2. Pravite smoothieje
Uključivanje smoothieja u prehranu jednostavan je, ali učinkovit način opskrbe tijela esencijalnim nutrijentima i kalorijama koje su mu potrebne.

Dok neki ovaj pristup mogu smatrati “lijenim”, to je praktična opcija koja odgovara određenim stilovima života, piše The Good Men Project.
3. Naučite osnove prehrane
Nije nam potrebno opsežno znanje kako bismo naučili osnove zdrave prehrane. Shvaćanjem i svladavanjem osnova možemo uštedjeti vrijeme i ublažiti stres povezan s zdravom prehranom. Osnovno je pravilo da unosimo manje kalorija nego što sagorimo ako želimo izgubiti na težini, odnosno više ako želimo dobiti.
4. Napravite plan obroka
Izrada plana obroka može biti izvrstan pristup ako nismo sigurni kako održavati zdravu prehranu. Jasan raspored o tome što jesti i kada može smanjiti bilo kakvu tjeskobu ili stres povezan s pripremom obroka.

STIGAO je prvi veliki trend u 2024., u kojem dominiraju glamurozne bunde i sunčane naočale. TikTok je službeno predstavio estetiku žene iz mafijaškog miljea, vraćajući se u rane 1980-e i 90-e, ali s modernim i svježim izgledom.
Za ovaj trend zaslužna je klasična američka dramska serija Obitelj Soprano. Ova serija, koju mnogi smatraju najboljom TV serijom svih vremena, postala je viralna na TikToku.

GHCL Limited’s shares were up by 2.17 per cent after the company signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) during the Vibrant Gujarat Summit, outlining investments totalling Rs 3,450 crore in Gujarat. The MOUs were inked in the presence of the Chief Minister, Bhupendra Patel, his senior ministers, and GHCL representatives.
The first MOU involves an investment of Rs 2500 crore in the Kutch district of Gujarat. This funding will facilitate the second-phase expansion of the Greenfield Soda Ash plant and the establishment of a Vacuum Salt plant. The investment, spanning four years, is expected to generate direct and indirect employment for over 10,000 people.
The second MOU outlines a Rs 950 crore investment in Bhavnagar, situated in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. The funds will be allocated to the mining of Bentonite and Sand, integral components found during lignite mining. Bentonite will be supplied to various industries, serving as a raw material for fertilisers, foundries, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, among others. Sand, another byproduct, will be utilized in the construction industry.
The company reported that its Khadsaliya Lignite mines in Bhavnagar recently received a “5-Star rating” from the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, in December 2023, making it the first lignite mine in Gujarat to achieve this distinction.
The shares were up by 2.06 per cent to Rs 607.95 at close on the BSE.’
Ace cricketer Virat Kohli, who is a fitness enthusiast, has said that one should have quality sleep to do lead a health life.
Kohli, who has been appointed as a brand ambassador for sleep solutions provider Duroflex, said he understod the importance of sleep and recovery in maintaining peak physical and mental health.
“I strongly believe prioritising good quality sleep can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life in your career as well as with your loved ones. It is not just about getting enough hours of rest, but also about the quality of sleep one gets,” he said, addressing a gathering after the announcement here on Monday.
“When we speak about fitness and health, it is having adequate sleep that helps the body respond better to the challenges,” he said.
“I ensure I get deep restorative sleep. Becoming the face of the brand was a natural decision for me as I believe in the brand’s mission. I am excited to bring a new dimension to the brand and drive its message of sleeping better for a long, healthy, and enhanced quality of life,” he said.
Duroflex said the move was aimed at promoting “conversation around quality sleep and its indispensable role in optimal health”.
“This collaboration will showcase our commitment to spreading awareness about the link between quality sleep and a healthier, more fulfilling life,” Mathew Chandy, Chairman and Managing Director of Duroflex, said.
Kohli also launched Duroflex’s new product Neuma, a firmness adjustable mattress.
Online business
“We sell through own stores, franchise stores and online. Even before Covid we began the online or direct-to-consumer business, which was initially just a fraction of our entire business. Now, it contributes over 30 per cent to our business,” Mohanraj J, CEO of Duroflex, said.
He said the company has a network of 60 stores. “We are planning to take the number of stores to 100 in the next one year,” he said.
The sleep solutions market, which stands at about ₹15,000 crore, is growing at 6-8 per cent.
U HRVATSKOJ se godišnje dijagnosticira više od 600 novih slučajeva raka gušterače. Iz tog razloga uočavanje potencijalnih simptoma bolesti moglo bi spasiti život.
Doktor James O’Donovan upozorio je na dva važna znaka upozorenja na rak gušterače, kojih bi svi trebali biti svjesni. Iako ovi simptomi ne znače da imate bolest, treba ih dodatno provjeriti.
Dvije važne stvari koje uvijek provjerava kod svojih pacijenata su:
žutica kod pacijenata od 40 i više godina
gubitak težine u kombinaciji s proljevom, bolovima u leđima, bolovima u trbuhu, mučninom, povraćanjem, zatvorom ili novodijagnosticiranim dijabetesom kod pacijenata od 60 i više godina.
“Prva preporuka je da pacijenta u dobi od 40 ili više godina sa žuticom hitno pošaljete na provjeru raka gušterače”, rekao je O’Donovan, pa pojasnio da žuticu uzrokuje nakupljanje bilirubina, tamnožuto-smeđe tvari koja se stvara u jetri.
“Obično jetra ispušta tekućinu zvanu žuč, koja sadrži bilirubin. Žuč odlazi kroz zajednički žučni kanal u crijeva, gdje pomaže u razgradnji masti. Na kraju napušta tijelo kroz stolicu. Kada žuč ne može doći do crijeva, bilirubin se nakuplja u tijelu”, istaknuo je.

Žutica ne utječe samo na kožu i oči. Može uzrokovati tamnu mokraću, svijetlu ili masnu stolicu te svrbež kože.
“Važno je zapamtiti da rak gušterače nije najčešći uzrok žutice. Žučni kamenci, hepatitis i druge bolesti jetre i žučnih putova mnogo su češći krivci”, naveo je liječnik.
Gubitak težine i drugi simptomi
Doktor O’Donovan na hitan CT šalje sve pacijente u dobi od 60 ili više godina koji uočavaju gubitak težine u kombinaciji s proljevom, bolovima u leđima, bolovima u trbuhu, mučninom, povraćanjem, zatvorom ili novodijagnosticiranim dijabetesom.
Ako primijetite bilo koji od ovih simptoma, trebali biste razgovarati sa svojim liječnikom opće prakse.

MINION je 10-godišnji mješanac čivave i jazavčara koji ne voli kišu ni hodanje po blatu pa se njegov vlasnik dosjetio genijalne ideje koja je nasmijala ljude do suza. Vlasnik mu je napravio mali kišibran s drškom koju pas može držati u ustima dok hoda. Sudeći prema snimci, Minionu se jako svidio ovaj dodatak koji je hodanje po kiši učinio mnogo zabavnijim.

PRVA reklamna kampanja tvrtke Calvin Klein u 2024. godini, koja je sadržavala dovoljno golišavih slika glumca Jeremyja Allena Whitea da je mogla popuniti pin-up kalendar, dočekana je s ulizičkim pohvalama. Neobjašnjivo, gotovo godinu dana stara i relativno SFW kampanja Calvina Kleina u kojoj je glumila pjevačica FKA Twigs (Tahliah Debrett Barnett) bila je istovremeno i iznenada zabranjena.
Iako fotografija FKA Twigs (samo jedna fotografija) jedva otkriva više kože nego bikini, Uprava za standarde oglašavanja Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva (ADA) navodno je primila dvije pritužbe od ljudi koji su je nazvali uvredljivom. ADA je smatrao da je “usredotočena na fizičke značajke FKA Twigs, a ne na odjeću” te će stoga “vjerojatno uzrokovati ozbiljnu uvredu”.
>> “Prikazuju ženu kao seksualni objekt”: Calvinu Kleinu ugašena reklama
Uvredu za koga, pitate se? Odlično pitanje jer FKA Twigs CK kampanja, objavljena još u ožujku 2023. godine, odavno je zamijenjena novim oglasima, piše Highsnobiety.
Fotografije Kendall Jenner nisu bile zabranjene, a one od FKA Twigs jesu
Iako bi se fotografije Kendall Jenner, koja je sudjelovala u CK kampanji s FKA Twigs, mogle ocijeniti jednako provokativnima, one su očito “ništa više od blago seksualne”, prema ADA-u, koji je istovremeno pregledao fotografije Jenner i Twigs. Međutim, utvrđeno je da fotografija “predstavlja Twigs kao stereotipni seksualni objekt”.
I tako je 10. siječnja ADA donio odluku da se CK-ev oglas za FKA Twigs “ne smije više pojaviti u obliku na koji je uložena žalba”. To se ionako ne bi dogodilo jer je to kampanja stara godinu dana i bila je uklonjena prije mnogo mjeseci.
U čemu je problem s ovom slikom?
CK nije ništa komentirao osim izjave koju je dao ADA-u, u kojoj stoji da je FKA Twigs surađivala na stvaranju fotografije i dala joj svoj blagoslov prije objave. Dakle, presuda ADA-a implicira da se FKA Twigs nekako objektiviziralo.
Fotografije iz kampanje ostale su na CK-evoj globalnoj Instagram stranici, gdje se nalaze od 15. ožujka 2023. FKA Twigs složila se u objavi na vlastitom Instagramu: “Ne vidim ‘stereotipni seksualni objekt’ kojim su me označili. Neću dopustiti da se moj narativ mijenja. U svjetlu analize drugih prošlih i trenutačnih kampanja ove prirode, ne mogu a da ne primijetim da ovdje postoje dvostruki standardi.”
Teško je ne složiti se s potonjom tvrdnjom.
CK je znao imati kontroverzne reklame
Calvin Klein danas je bolji predstavnik inkluzivnosti, ali prije 2000. godine namjerno je inzistirao na odvažnim oglasima koji su završavali na krivoj strani pravednosti.
Prvo se radi o kampanji za traperice iz 1980., u kojoj se pojavila tada 14-godišnja Brooke Shields, koja je nosila traperice, labavo raskopčanu košulju i ništa ispod. Mark Wahlberg i Kate Moss pozirali su golih prsa za CK Obsession 1992. godine; neki britanski oglasi predstavljali su samo 17-godišnju Moss u toplesu.
Tri godine kasnije Madonnin fotograf Steven Meisel osmislio je reklamu za Calvin Klein u kojoj su se modeli mladog izgleda grčili na podu prekrivenom tepihom, a kamera se spuštala sve niže kako bi ih promatrala odozdo.
Iako nisu svi ovi oglasi uspjeli u svoje vrijeme – kampanje Shields i Meisel povučene su u nekim područjima SAD-a, a Moss je kasnije objasnila kako joj je bilo neugodno kad je snimala CK oglase – oni odražavaju stav koji očito još uvijek utječe na današnje CK reklame: gola koža je ono što prodaje.
Današnje CK reklame formulirane su uz suglasnost i subjekta i njihovih suradnika
A “senzualnost bez napora”, kako glasi opis CK-a na Instagramu, zahtijeva drske modele koji pomiču granice i uglavnom neodjevene modele. Iako prikazuju odrasle osobe koje su dale pristanak i povremeno različite tipove tijela, CK Guy i Gal obično ostaju vrlo otvoreni.
Takav je bio slučaj s kampanjom Jeremyja Allena Whitea, objavljenom u siječnju 2024. Gotovo svaki centimetar Whiteova tijela bio je u potpunosti izložen. Zašto i ne bi? Izgledao je sjajno.
Isto vrijedi za Jenner, koja se skinula u donje rublje i čarape za svoju (uglavnom pokrivenu i još uvijek nezabranjenu) reklamu. Isto vrijedi za FKA Twigs, čija CK fotografija izgleda praktički čedno u usporedbi s bilo kojom Whiteovom.
Ovo je vrsta samosvjesne objektivizacije koja definira današnje Calvinove oglase. Za razliku od vremena kada su se premlade djevojke podvrgavale muškom pogledu reklamne industrije, današnji CK oglasi formulirani su uz suglasnost i subjekta i njihovih suradnika. Činjenica je da su osmišljeni da osnaže subjekt, a ne da ga objektiviziraju.
Stoga postaje još ironičnije što će fotografija FKA Twigs, stvorena uz odobrenje i uvid same pjevačice, biti zabranjena od treće strane navodeći kao razlog – objektivizaciju. Ne sliči li ovo na društvo koje govori ženama da ono zna što je najbolje za njihova tijela?
>> Pripremili smo vruću galeriju fotki glumca iz reklame Calvina Kleina i – nema na čemu
U svjetlu nedavnih događaja koji su oblikovali kulturu, poput rasprostranjenih američkih zabrana pobačaja i društvenih medija koji su prisiljeni ukinuti zabrane dojenja, teško je drugačije tumačiti ovu situaciju.
Bez obzira na to, očita reakcija ostavlja više pitanja nego što daje odgovora: zašto su ti oglasi zabranjeni gotovo godinu dana nakon što su objavljeni? Zašto su fotografije žena drugih rasa zabranjene, a slike bijelih muškaraca i žena ostavljene? Što bi ljudi koji su se žalili na takozvanu objektivizaciju FKA Twigs mislili o stražnjici Jeremyja Allena Whitea koja se proteže nad Houston Streetom?
I hoće li svijet ikad išta kontrolirati tako žestoko kao što to čini sa ženskim tijelima?
Erik ten Haag’s Manchester United will be looking for a way to get their English Premier League campaign back on track with a home game against Tottenham Hotspur.

At Goafest 2023, Leo Burnett India was crowned the Creative Agency of the Year at the Abby Oneshow Awards 2023. It was also named Branded Content & Entertainment Specialist Agency of the Year and Brand Activation & Promotions Specialist Agency of the Year. A jubilant Dheeraj Sinha, CEO Leo Burnett South Asia & Chairman BBH India spoke to businessline at the sidelines of the fest on creativity, consumption, growth and more. Excerpts:
The theme of this Goafest is ‘future of creativity’ and this discussion is happening in the backdrop of the AI threat. How do you think AI will impact creativity?
Firstly, I don’t think there is any threat from AI. We need to embrace this technological shift. If I can use generative AI to generate 100 social media posts for my clients or use graphics to shoot an ad film at half the cost instead of flying to a destination, then AI is making my work better, faster and most importantly it frees up my creative resources to focus on bigger things.
We need to understand our place in the value chain. We don’t have self-assurance as an industry. We start getting worried about AI eating our jobs or social media killing advertising. We have to understand that the power of creativity is not in chat GPT or AI, or social media execution but it is in solving problems and in leveraging opportunities for businesses and for humankind. And we need to focus on nurturing young talent and harnessing the power.
How was last year for your agency and what are the growth projections for this year?
We are growing in strong double-digits and meeting our commitments already. I think there’s a bit of a slowdown in tech. Due to the funding winter, even large funded players have tightened their purse strings. At the same time there are other funded players who’ve done well and are spending as they build a brand. But overall there’s a definite slowdown and it is likely to continue this year.
However, there has been an interesting upswing in consumption expenditure. The FMCG and CPG sectors are doing well. Also new categories are opening up with many established companies foraying into new areas. Electric Vehicles as a category is witnessing a lot of action.
Where else is growth coming from?
We are now beginning to cut the pie into many pieces. For instance, we have the regional offering, where we help brands crack their regional strategy because a lot of brands are now saying that if you win one State in India, it is like winning one country in Europe. Digital has been a strong growth driver. At the same time, we are also doing pure-strategy work. Some of these new services have grown over the last three years and now contribute about 15 per cent to our revenues.
Last year, there were unicorns going for IPOs and everyone was talking about their flashy ad budgets. What is the key theme this fiscal?
This fiscal is about the CPG and the FMCG story. Household goods and consumer durables are doing well. It will also be infrastructure-led growth, with cement, paints, and furniture doing well. With improvement in margins, FMCG companies are beginning to ramp up spending. So it is in some sense a return to the fundamentals.
In the start-up space, we will see that the players who fulfill a fundamental need-gap will still stay strong despite the funding winter.
How much does digital contribute to your revenues now?
Most of the mandates that we are signing now are integrated mandates. The teams are integrated, the work is integrated. In the last five years, we’ve turned our 600-people agency to think for the new-age. So now we think in terms of the consumer journey and not mainline or digital.
Makar Sankranti, a vibrant Hindu festival, marks the transition of the sun into the Capricorn zodiac sign, symbolising the arrival of longer days and the auspicious period of harvest. Celebrated with fervour and joy across India, this festival holds cultural significance and is known by various names in different regions. Makar Sankranti is mostly celebrated on January 14 every year. However, this year, Makar Sankranti 2024 falls on January 15. It is celebrated with a delectable array of traditional foods that reflect the diversity of Indian culture. Tilgul, sesame seed and jaggery sweets symbolise sweetness and camaraderie, while Pongal, a savoury dish of freshly harvested rice and lentils, signifies prosperity. As you observe Makar Sankranti 2023, we at LatestLY have brought together a list of traditional food ideas that can help you decide the best menu for the day. Why Do We Eat Khichdi on Makar Sankranti? Everything To Know About This Good Luck Ritual for the Auspicious Day.
1. Tilgul (Sesame Seeds and Jaggery Sweets)
Tilgul, small round sweets made from sesame seeds and jaggery, is an iconic treat exchanged during Makar Sankranti. The sweet and nutty flavour of sesame combined with the richness of jaggery symbolizes the essence of the festival and is often shared with the affectionate greeting, “Tilgul ghya, god bola”, meaning “Accept this tilgul and speak sweet words.”

2. Pongal
Pongal, a South Indian dish, is a hearty and savoury concoction made with freshly harvested rice and lentils, seasoned with black pepper, cumin, and ghee. Often garnished with cashews and curry leaves, Pongal signifies the prosperity and abundance associated with the harvest season.

3. Undhiyu
Originating from Gujarat, Undhiyu is a mixed vegetable curry prepared with seasonal vegetables, green garlic, and a medley of spices. Traditionally cooked underground, this flavourful dish reflects the diversity of the harvest and is a staple during Makar Sankranti celebrations.

4. Ghee and Jaggery-based Sweets
Various traditional sweets, such as ghee and jaggery-based preparations like chikki (brittle), laddoos (sweet spherical treats), and revdi (jaggery-coated sesame seeds), are commonly enjoyed during Makar Sankranti. These sweets not only provide a burst of sweetness but also serve as energy-packed treats during the festive season.

4. Sarson da Saag and Makki di Roti
In northern regions of India, particularly Punjab, Makar Sankranti is celebrated with the quintessential winter dish of Sarson da Saag (mustard greens) and Makki di Roti (cornbread). The pungent flavour of mustard greens combined with the rustic appeal of cornbread creates a traditional and wholesome meal enjoyed during the festival.

These traditional foods not only add a rich tapestry of flavours to Makar Sankranti celebrations but also carry cultural significance, embodying the spirit of harvest, prosperity, and communal joy.
Wishing everyone a Happy Makar Sankranti 2023!

JEDAN uređaj za kosu postao je prilično popularan na TikToku u kratkom periodu te zaintrigirao mnoge. Radi se o višenamjenskom 2 u 1 uređaju za kosu koji sliči na peglu, ali kombinira funkcije pegle za ravnanje kose i uvijača. Dakle, njime se kosa može izravnati, ali i nakovrčati.
U videu koji je do sada pregledan preko 13 milijuna puta tiktokerica Natalie (@nat_day) pokazuje kako ga koristi. “Jeste li ikada vidjeli nešto ovakvo?” upita na početku. “To je pegla, ali kovrča kosu kako prolazite s njom kroz kosu.” U videu je pokazala kako je točno koristi i što sve ovaj uređaj može.
“To je savršeno”, izjavila je kada je napravila prvu kovrču. Potom je istaknula da želi vidjeti što sve može napraviti ovom peglom i pokušala izravnati pramen, a kasnije napraviti i opuštenu kovrču. “Ovo je tako zabavno”, rekla je, zadovoljna rezultatima koje je dobila. “Stvarno mi se sviđa, jednostavna je za korištenje.”
Povela se rasprava ispod videa
Ispod videa skupilo se mnoštvo komentara, ali i povela rasprava o tome može li se klasičnom peglom isto tako nakovrčati kosa te dobiti isti rezultat.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Isto možete učiniti običnom peglom”, “Sve pegle to rade, ali mislim da je ovom lakše za ljude koji ne znaju kako”, “Moja klasična pegla ovo ne radi”, “Meni ovo treba jer sam tako loša s kovrčanjem kose”, “Svi govore da njihova klasična pegla to radi, ali ja nikada to nisam uspjela učiniti njom.”
Iako se u komentarima razvila prepirka oko toga može li se ili ne isto dobiti i klasičnom peglom, neki su istaknuli da svejedno žele ovakvu 2 u 1 peglu kakvu je tiktokerica pokazala jer im se čini jednostavnija za korištenje.
Takvu kakvu je Natalie koristila u videu našli smo na njemačkom Amazonu, cijena joj je 43 eura, a možete je vidjeti ovdje. Također, tu se mogu naći i recenzije ove pegle te se čini da su mnogi zadovoljni.
“Radi prekrasne kovrče”, “U početku sam bila skeptična hoće li ispunjavati ono što obećava. No nakon nekoliko korištenja, jako sam zadovoljna. Treba par prelazaka za stvarno ravnu kosu, a valovi se lako kreiraju.”

Japan’s carmakers continue to preview their modified wares for the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon. The show gained popularity for its vast array of tuned sports cars, but Mitsubishi’s lineup is geared towards overlanding.
Headlining the roster are a pair of Mitsubishi Triton pickups. The stock Yamabuki Orange example marks an important happening for the beleaguered Mitsubishi — previewing the Triton’s return to Japan this February after a 13-year absence from the market.
Of course, this being the Auto Salon there’s a heavily modified version of the truck that hasn’t even hit showrooms yet. A gray specimen with bigger Toyo tires, beefier bumpers and a snorkel is called the Triton Snow Shredder and is built for heading into the hills.
A similarly themed four-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Delica D:5 provides an example on how to modify the latest generation of the “vanlife” favorite. The van is called the Delica D:5 Chamonix Snow Gear, referencing a special edition of the fourth-generation adventure minivan.
It’s paired with the Delica Mini Chamonix Snow Gear, based on the Delica Mini kei car exclusive to the Japanese market. Equipped with a brush guard, roof rack and auxiliary lights, it’s about as rugged as a kei car can be. It also comes with AWD and plenty of clever packaging for maximized interior volume.
The only car on display that has an American-market relevance is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Active Field. The one-off custom based on an SUV we also get has Yokohama Geolandar tires, a lifted suspension and lots of blacked out accents.
It makes sense for Mitsubishi to focus on the overlanding and “vanlife” trends, as it lacks any sporting or racing cars in its portfolio. It’s not an entirely bad way to go, as there are limits to what one can do with an all truck and SUV lineup. Plus, off-roading and overlanding are wildly popular and profitable right now. The company’s sole car, the Mirage, is no longer sold in Japan. Last year saw Mitsubishi return to profitability, and the show cars hope to inject some pizzazz into the recovering brand.
Veranda Learning Solutions Limited’s shares were up by 2.08 per cent after the company acquired a 50 per cent stake in Tapasya Educational Institutions Private Limited for Rs 120 crore.
The company reported, the addition of Tapasya will enhance Veranda’s ecosystem, particularly in the Commerce Higher Education space. Veranda Learning aims to leverage Tapasya’s existing network, expanding offerings in competitive exams like CA while benefiting from regional expertise. On the other hand, Tapasya stands to gain from Veranda Learning’s experience in curriculum development, technology integration, and student support services.
The company informed, Tapasya Educational Institutions, established in 2009, operates 19 Inter/ PU Colleges and 10 Degree Colleges across 13 locations in Telangana and Karnataka, catering to over 13,000 students. The institution covers Intermediate, Pre-University, Graduation courses (B.Com and BBA), Professional Courses (CA and CMA), and Integrated programs. TEIPL is expected to generate a revenue of Rs 65 crore with an EBITDA of Rs 26 crores for FY24.
The shares were up by 0.57 per cent to Rs 317.45 at close on the BSE.
Last week, the luxury brand Hublot announced a very special range of wrist watches, called the “Hublot Big Bang Unico Nespresso Origin”. What makes these products unique is that they are the first watches to be made of recycled Nespresso coffee grounds and capsules. The coffee grounds from used Nespresso capsules are transformed into the straps of this watch — a rubber version as well as a velcro-fabric version. In addition, the recycled Aluminium capsules of Nespresso are used to create the metal parts of the watch — the case, bezel and crown.
I was intrigued by this marriage of two very different products — coffee and wrist watches. Quite coincidentally, during my long career with the Tata group, I have worked in both the watches and coffee industries. Hence, this news held my attention with twice the intensity, much like a double espresso. But it was the insight behind the creation of this watch that fascinated me.
Not only is this a very novel product that triggers consumer attention, it represents a commitment to recycling material ranging from coffee grounds to aluminium. Therefore, it demonstrates that environmental responsibility and luxury can go hand in hand. This is very likely to have a positive impact on how two big Swiss brands — Hublot and Nespresso — are perceived. Such perception is particularly valuable in our times, when environmental consciousness is fast becoming a key driver of consumer choice.
Moon dust and hair
Yet another aspect that leapt out at me was the use of unconventional material like coffee grounds and Nespresso capsules to make a wrist watch. This provides the product with such an interesting and memorable story. My curiosity led me to study this subject further, and I soon discovered that many other wrist watches had used surprising materials in the past.
For instance, some years ago, Romaine Jerome, another brand of luxury watches, created the Moon Dust-DNA watch. These watches use real moon dust as well as rocket and spacesuit parts from Soyuz spacecraft and NASA’s Apollo 11 moon mission. The moon dust was in tiny craters on the face of the watch, and was certified as real and authentic. The strap of the watch was composed of fibres from a spacesuit worn during the International Space Station Mission. This was a limited edition of the 1969 watches, to reflect the year in which man first landed on the moon. The watches were highly priced, but they were also highly prized by connoisseurs who desired to own a piece of the moon. This also strengthened Romaine Jerome’s position as an innovative and exclusive brand.
Yet another example of unusual material in watches comes from the DeWitt brand, which launched watches that contained real strands of Emperor Napoleon’s hair. DeWitt had purchased Napoleon’s hair at an auction in France in 2014. Each watch in this limited edition line contained a small piece of this “precious” hair on the dial. The hair was varnished, to ensure its preservation.
Moving on from watches to other product categories, there are many interesting examples of unconventional material being used by brands. Ikea has begun replacing Styrofoam with mushroom-based packaging. The key driver here is clearly a move towards environment-friendly material. There are famous paan sellers in some cities of India who use gold foil and silver sheets in their premium paan offerings. These are exclusive after-meal products which signal prosperity, status and privilege. Despite their high price (₹750 and upwards), I am told that they command a loyal following. In 2016, Bajaj launched a new 150cc motorbike called Bajaj V, with the byline “Part motorbike, part war hero”. Each motorbike in this range contained metal sourced from India’s first aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant. Brand attributes such as solidity and invincibility got quickly transferred to this motorbike from our cherished memories of INS Vikrant.
The use of such unusual materials present wonderful opportunities for brands and marketers to make unique points about their products. Whether a brand wishes to emphasise sustainability or exclusivity or national pride or some other important attribute, there is new material waiting to be discovered. Watch this space !

PSIHIJATAR Jaleel Mohammed kaže da su psihopati često osobe prgave naravi koje imaju mnogo kratkotrajnih veza ili im nedostaje empatije. Također, u djetinjstvu mogu biti nasilne prema životinjama i drugoj djeci.
“Posjedovanje samo jedne od ovih osobina ne čini nekoga psihopatom, ali cjelokupna slika nečije osobnosti, temeljena na ovim osobinama, može dovesti do klasifikacije psihopatije”, objasnio je.
Prvi znak koji ukazuje na to da je netko psihopat je “parazitiranje”.
“To znači da osoba ispija druge, umjesto da čini bilo što za sebe. Recimo, to bi moglo značiti da ulazi u vezu kako bi nekoga iskoristila za novac. Također, može željeti da drugi za nju obavljaju neke aktivnosti ili poslove. Ukratko, psihopati žele da drugi ljudi rade za njih”, rekao je.
Kao drugu stvar, dr. Jaleel navodi prgavu narav.
“Psihopat može biti potpuno normalan, voditi normalan razgovor, a onda zbog sitnice eksplodirati. To je zapravo način na koji psihopat manipulira drugima”, dodao je.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Promiskuitet je također znak psihopatije”, tvrdi psihijatar. Dodaje da psihopati imaju sklonost brzo ući u brak, ali on neće dugo trajati.
Postoji niz ranih problema u ponašanju koji mogu ukazivati na to da bi osoba mogla izrasti u psihopata.
“Znakovi psihopatije ponekad se mogu pojaviti tijekom djetinjstva. Psihopati u djetinjstvu mogu biti čudni ili nasilni i agresivni prema životinjama i drugoj djeci”, tvrdi dr. Jaleel.
Na kraju je psihijatar rekao da je nedostatak empatije veliki znak psihopata.
“Psihopati ne mare za osjećaje drugih ljudi. Zapravo, ako ikad pristupite psihopatu da mu kažete kako se osjećate u vezi s nekom situacijom, psihopat će vam vrlo jasno dati do znanja da ga nije briga. Doslovno imaju milijun stvari koje bi radije radili nego slušali što vi mislite ili kako se osjećate u određenoj situaciji”, zaključio je.

Former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton spoke out last week on the NBC “Today” show about what she said was a rare pneumonia that almost killed her and resulted in an expensive, monthlong hospital stay.
It was a shocking reveal. One key comment jumped out for those who follow health policy: Retton said she was uninsured, blaming that lack of coverage on 30 orthopedic surgeries that count as “preexisting conditions,” a divorce, and her poor finances.
“I just couldn’t afford it,” Retton told host Hoda Kotb, who did not challenge the assertion.
Retton, who after winning the gold medal in 1984 became a well-known figure — “America’s sweetheart,” appearing on Wheaties boxes and claiming a variety of other endorsements — did not provide details of her income, the illness, the hospital where she was treated, or the type of insurance she was seeking, so it’s hard to nail down specifics.
Nonetheless, her situation can be informative because the reasons she cited for not buying coverage — preexisting conditions and cost — are among the things the Affordable Care Act directly addresses.
Under the law, which has offered coverage through state and federal marketplaces since 2014, insurers are barred from rejecting people with preexisting conditions and cannot charge higher premiums for them, either. This is one of the law’s most popular provisions, according to opinion surveys.

The ACA also includes subsidies that offset all or part of the premium costs for the majority of low- to moderate-income people who seek to buy their own insurance. An estimated “four out of five people can find a plan for $10 or less a month after subsidies on HealthCare.gov,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a written statement when kicking off the annual open enrollment period in November.
Subsidies are set on a sliding scale based on household income with a sizable portion going to those who make less than twice the federal poverty level, which this year is $29,160 for an individual, or $60,000 for a family of four. Premium costs for consumers are capped at 8.5% of household income.
Still, “we know from surveys and other data that, even 10 years on, a lot of people are unaware there are premium subsidies available through ACA marketplaces,” said Sabrina Corlette, co-director of the Center on Health Insurance Reform at Georgetown University.
Those subsidies are one of the reasons cited for record enrollment in 2024 plans, with more than 20 million people signing up so far.
To be sure, there are also many Americans whose share of the premium cost is still a stretch, especially those who might be higher on the sliding subsidy scale. Looking at the KFF subsidy calculator, a 60-year-old with a $100,000 income, for example, would get a $300 monthly subsidy but still have to pay $708 a month toward their premium, on average, nationally. Without a subsidy, the monthly cost would be $1,013.
And even with insurance, many U.S. residents struggle to afford the deductibles, copayments, or out-of-network fees included in some ACA or job-based insurance plans. The ACA does offer subsidies to offset deductible costs for people on the lower end of the income scale. For those with very low incomes, the law expanded eligibility for Medicaid, which is a state-federal program. However, 10 states, including Texas, where Retton lives, have chosen not to expand coverage, meaning some people in this category cannot get either Medicaid or ACA subsidies.
“If her income was below poverty, she could have been caught in the coverage gap,” said Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF.
Attempts to reach a representative for Retton were not immediately successful.
One last point — ACA enrollment generally must occur during the annual open enrollment, which for 2024 plans opened Nov. 1 and runs until Jan. 16 in most states. But Retton provided no details on what kind of health insurance she shopped for, or when. And there are types of plans and coverage, for example, that fall outside of the ACA rules.
Those include short-term plans, which offer temporary coverage for people between jobs, for example. There are also coverage efforts dubbed “health care sharing ministries,” in which people pool money and pay one another’s medical bills. Neither is considered comprehensive insurance because they generally offer limited benefits, and both can exclude people with preexisting conditions.
If she was considering insurance during a time of year that wasn’t during the open enrollment period, Retton might have still been able to sign up for an ACA plan if she met requirements for a “special enrollment.” Qualifying reasons include a residential move, loss of other coverage, marriage, divorce, and other specific situations.
Retton excelled in landing difficult moves as a gymnast, but she may have missed the bar when it came to buying insurance coverage.
“You can be a very successful person in your other life and not understand American health care and get into a situation that maybe you could have prevented,” said Joseph Antos, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

KADA su u pitanju tenisice, 2023. bila je godina adidas Samba modela. Nema tko ih nije nosio, a adidas je kupcima ponudio i mnoštvo iteracija. Kao šećer na kraju, ali i zasluženo, Lyst ih je proglasio i najpopularnijim tenisicama koje su obilježile proteklu godinu.
“Pretražena svakih 1.7 minuta na Lystu, adidas Samba je tenisica godine. Omiljena među slavnim osobama i influencerima, nosile su je i Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Hailey Bieber, A$AP Rocky i Harry Styles, a pretraživanja su u posljednja četiri mjeseca porasla za 43 posto na Lystu”, istaknula je tvrtka za modnu tehnologiju i šoping-aplikacija u studenom 2023.
“Zaljubljena sam u svoje”
Sada TikTok kaže da je dominacija Samba gotova (donekle), a da će njihovo mjesto preuzeti Sambae – tenisice koje su već postale viralne na toj društvenoj mreži. Adidas je njima dodao moderan štih kultnom i popularnom Samba dizajnu. Ova verzija izrađena je s gornjim dijelom od glatke kože, prozirnim vanjskim potplatom od gume, nešto debljim nego na Sambama, i izvezenim prugama.
“Upravo sam ih kupila. Opsjednuta sam”, “Zaljubljena sam u svoje”, “Volim ih”, “Prije su se zvale Samba Rose”, “Trebaju mi te tenisice”, neki su od komentari na adidas Sambae na TikToku ispod videa s njima u prvom planu.
Lansirane su u prosincu 2023.
Ove tenisice lansirane su u prosincu prošle godine i pojavile su se na pojedinim adidasovim internetskim stranicama, ali ne još uvijek na svima. Može ih se naći na stranicama za preprodaju poput Klekta, ali i u drugim internetskim trgovinama koje drže adidas. Cijena im je od 100 eura naviše, ovisno o trgovini i modelu. Izdvojili smo nekoliko modela niže.

Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, who batted 34 centuries for India, continues to bat even today; but this time for the cause of needy individuals who are being served by the Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission, and this innings he calls it “the best innings in his life”. “Cricket is more than just a sport; it is a powerful platform that unites people from all walks of life. Over the years, I have witnessed the immense power of sports to bring people together and make a positive impact on society. This unique friendship match aims to leverage the popularity of cricket to draw attention to the pressing issues faced by the underprivileged of our society, and the great work being done by Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai in the spirit of One World One Family – vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam,” said Gavaskar.

Liberty Walk just loves to show up to the Tokyo Auto Salon in outrageous, heavily modified builds that stir up the hornet’s nest of opinions. For this rendition, the tuner just dropped a Liberty Walk build of the Lamborghini Countach.
It’s only apt that the Japanese car builder follows its F40 revealed last year with another jewel of an Italian supercar, and this one is a serious feast for the eyes. This build isn’t just meant to be a one-off either – you’ll be able to buy the parts from this Liberty Walk build to make one of your own. The tuner’s website lists availability for the front bumper, front diffuser, canards, side skirts, side diffusers, rear diffuser, rear wing and roof intake. No prices are made available as of today. Of course, there’s a whole lot more than that on this Liberty Walk build, but that’s a great off-the-shelf start to making your own.
Unfortunately, Liberty Walk doesn’t have much in the way of a description for performance modifications. There are plenty of obvious ones, though, such as a lowered suspension, the signature Liberty Walk widebody, unique wheels and tires to fill in said widebody kit and an epic quad exhaust poking out the rear. We can see some racing harnesses through the front windshield, and we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the V12 engine is making more horsepower than it did from the factory.
The most Liberty Walk has to say about the build comes from the tuner’s social media posts where it simply states: “We are doing whatever we want.”
That right there is the best description for how Liberty Walk goes about its builds. Thought-provoking and controversial cars are its bread and butter, and while the Countach is already a thought-provoking design from the factory, there’s no doubt that Liberty Walk has taken it to another level here.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday charged investment banking major Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and the former head of its equity syndicate desk, Pawan Passi, in a front-running case.
According to the US market regulator, the banking major and its employee were involved in a multi-year fraud by disclosing of confidential information about the sale of large quantities of stock known as “block trades.”
Penalty
The SEC’s order concerning Morgan Stanley finds that the firm wilfully violated Sections 10(b) and 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5(b) thereunder, censures the firm, and orders it to pay approximately $138 million in disgorgement, approximately $28 million in pre-judgment interest, and an $83 million civil penalty. The SEC’s order concerning Passi orders him to pay a $250,000 civil penalty, and imposes associational, penny stock, and supervisory bars.
Morgan Stanley has agreed to pay $249.4 million imposed by the US regulator. The SEC also charged Morgan Stanley with failing to enforce its policies concerning the misuse of material non-public information related to block trades, the US securities regulator said in a release.
Block deals
A block trade generally involves the sale of a large quantity of shares of an issuer’s stock, privately arranged and executed outside of the public markets.
According to the SEC’s orders, from at least June 2018 through August 2021, Passi and a subordinate on Morgan Stanley’s equity syndicate desk disclosed non-public, potentially market-moving information concerning impending block trades to select buy-side investors despite the sellers’ confidentiality requests and Morgan Stanley’s own policies regarding the treatment of confidential information.
“Sellers entrusted Morgan Stanley and Passi with material non-public information concerning upcoming block trades with the full expectation and understanding that they would keep it confidential,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
“Instead, Morgan Stanley and Passi abused that trust by leaking that same information and using it to position themselves ahead of those trades.”
According to the SEC, if Morgan Stanley eventually purchased the block trade, the buy-side investors would then request and receive allocations from the block trade from Morgan Stanley to cover their short positions. This pre-positioning reduced Morgan Stanley’s risk in purchasing block trades.
In a parallel action, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York today announced criminal resolutions with Morgan Stanley and Passi. The SEC’s ordered disgorgement and pre-judgment interest for Morgan Stanley will be deemed partially satisfied by the forfeiture and restitution paid by the firm, which totals $136,531,223, pursuant to its criminal resolution.
“It is our responsibility to stop thinking about technology as anything other than a medium that makes us more creative and not less,” said Nick Law, Global Creative Chairperson, Accenture Song, during his session at GoaFest 2023.
Laying down his ‘Seven Principles of Creativity’, Law explained what he believes the advertising industry should get right over the next 10 years. The seven principles that Law discussed were – consistent principles and dynamic practices; singular vision; collaborative culture; designing yourself; loose with ideas, tight with execution; Technology being creative; Deep simplicity and Starting in the middle.
Law stressed that people should not panic over new technology but focus on mastering stuff like generative AI. “One cannot be creative without technology. I think about how I mastered generative AI. Creative people should think about how to master it and use generative AI more than non-creative people,” said Nick Law.
Here is a deep dive on his seven principles:
1. Consistent principles, dynamic practices
Every company should have dynamic practice with consistent principles. There are some things that you stand for that do not change like core principles. And then there are things that you need to respond to – different opportunities, different technology and context – that need to be changing consistently. Importantly, said Law, if you don’t have principles you will not be able to distinguish yourself. “Everytime when something new comes up there should be a way that you and only you can respond to that is why principles are so important,” he stressed
2. Singular vision collaborative culture
“I have never been a part of the great creative exercise that did not have a really focused vision. It could be for a product, a campaign, a company. The nature of creativity is collaborative if you can’t mix and match different ways of thinking,” said Law.
Explaining further the need for collaborations, he cited the example of films. “One of the great art forms of the 20 century in which India is really good at is film. At the end of every film you see a credit roll – the contributor of a film, the single vision in the head of a director. It is an argument against consensus against inputs. You got to be sharp at the top and connect at the bottom .”
Law said that you need to reverse engineer your organisation based on what you are delivering. “The medium keeps changing and you need to keep changing according to the medium. When the best storytelling was happening on the internet, we had to bring in story tellers. We kept changing based on that, everytime we changed we had to restructure our teams, rethink how things got made. It is important because our industry sometimes forgets that you have to be a dynamic organisation to make dynamic things.”
He went on to talk about compound connections. “I will give you an example, strategy is a form of compound connection with creativity. It could be data and Analytics, analytic and strategy, strategy and creative and technology. These things have a compound connection , one thing makes the other thing better.”
If a strategist gives your creative team one brief that is not enough and if the strategist gives a brief of 500 pages then that is too much. I think there is an amount of detail that a creative person can use that has enough detail but not too much.
3. First, design yourself
The most important connection is a person to person connection, stressed Law. “This is amazing creativity and I call it a synthetic connection. It is two people that have different skill sets that are making something that individually they could not make themselves. It is really important specially when they are not connected in physical space. “
If our companies were brain and we have two hemispheres of the brain. One that has design led and one that is story telling led and then we connect them in a synthetic connection as a part of the conversation not as a part of that hands off one to the another. What is interesting is that it actually reflects the conventional thinking that the left hand brain is rational and the right hand brain is creative. That is not true if I’m being creative both hemispheres of my brain are writing up. If you are not laterising your organization by connecting ways of thinking then you have a damaged brain in your organization.
4. Loose with ideas, tight with execution
If you come up with ideas and do not execute ideas then it is no good. If you go straight to execution without dreaming then that is not good either. It is really the way of looking at the classic T shape. Connecting when you’re dreaming and going deeper when you are executing.
5. Technology is creative
We have amazing technology and amazing engineers and technical thinkers . You cannot be actually creative without a technology to take the idea out of your head and put it out in the world. When creative folk are complaining about technology they are complaining about the technology that came after they mastered the older technology – broadcast. The mistake that the industry made was separating media and technology in the late ‘80s . It created a whole class of creatives that thought they are coming up with whole or prime ideas when they, in fact looked at just the last medium that they mastered which is broadcast.
The important thing about new technology as they emerge is that creatives should work closely with new technology soon as possible.
It is our responsibility to stop thinking about technology as anything other than a medium that makes us more creative and not less.
6. Deep simplicity
Simplicity is more important than ever because we live in a complex world, our media is complicated, new formats come on, others are replaced. These formats are competing among each other. So think that the world is already complicated and our actions need to be simple.
Deep simplicity is understanding the context and the complexity of the world we live in and translating it into something simple and human.
7. Start in the middle
I think for the advertising industry it is a very important one.
Where we get our information is getting difficult, researching is difficult, video information is difficult. People spend some time on the brand experience we create, but most of the time they are on Reddit, youtube.
The most valuable Brand in the world is built on trying to make people understand their product and not try to make them feel something with some metaphor and chasing something in the hope that they might actually click on your ad.
So this is how we began to reshape our industry. Craft, clarity and concept. At Apple I spent all my time at lifestyle marketing to feel like Apple.
We need to restructure our teams so they work together. How do you create this? It is at the intersection. Our biggest sin is when we start separating things from efficiency, separating things because we get too big and we don’t connect those pieces in the way I was talking about before.
UKOLIKO ne spavamo dobro, ne samo da ćemo se osjećati mrzovoljno, već ćemo se i udebljati. Spavanje manje od osam sati noću tjera tijelo da proizvodi više hormona stresa, kortizola, koji utječe na mikrobe u crijevima i usporava metabolizam.
Također, uz manje sna, veća je vjerojatnost da ćemo grickati kasno navečer, što bi moglo pokvariti naše ciljeve mršavljenja. Ipak, s pomoću ovih osam jednostavnih koraka možemo održati svoj metabolizam u funkciji i preko noći.
1. Dižite utege navečer
Ako navečer, odmah poslije posla, krenemo s vježbanjem i dizanjem utega, možemo aktivirati metabolizam do 16 sati, piše Deccan Herald.
2. Popijte proteinski shake s kazeinom
Važno je konzumirati protein nakon treninga kako bi se naši mišići oporavili. Kazein se polako probavlja i održava metabolizam aktivnim tijekom noći.
3. Tuširajte se hladnom vodom
Hladan tuš čini više od ispiranja znoja nakon teretane. Samo pola minute pod hladnom vodom može aktivirati smeđe masno tkivo koje, kada se zagrije, topi dodatnih 400 kalorija dok smo u krevetu.
4. Pijte zeleni čaj
Flavonoidi u zelenom čaju pospješuju metabolizam, a ako popijemo tri šalice u danu, sagorjet ćemo 3.5% više kalorija preko noći.
5. Spavajte u hladnijoj prostoriji
Postavljanjem termostata na 19 Celzijevih stupnjeva trošimo 7% više kalorija jer naše tijelo sagorijeva masnoće kako bi održalo svoju unutarnju temperaturu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
6. Povremeno postite
Kada jedemo, naše tijelo proizvodi više hormona inzulina koji pomaže u skladištenju masti. Kada ne jedemo, naše tijelo proizvodi manje inzulina i počinjemo trošiti masnoću koju smo pohranili. Post tjera naše stanice da stvaraju nove mitohondrije, a što više mitohondrija imamo, to više goriva trošimo.
To je izravna veza između mitohondrija i metabolizma. Naši mitohondriji uzimaju ugljikohidrate i druge hranjive tvari te ih spaljuju za energiju, a mi preko noći trošimo kalorije.
7. Spavajte
San je također važan za mršavljenje, čak i ako ne sagorijevamo puno kalorija samo od sna. Tijelo zapravo gubi vodu dok spavamo i tako gubimo na težini a da toga nismo svjesni. Disanje i znojenje neki su od načina na koje gubimo vodu preko noći.
8. Izbjegavajte obilne obroke prije spavanja
Vjerojatno se nećemo osjećati pospano ako naše tijelo probavlja puno hrane. Također, kada pijemo pića s kofeinom, budniji smo, stoga bismo ih trebali izbjegavati prije spavanja. Kvalitetan san doprinosi mršavljenju.
Održavanje zdravog metabolizma i mršavljenje preko noći zahtijevaju ovih nekoliko jednostavnih koraka. Iako ne sagorijevamo puno kalorija tijekom spavanja, san je vrlo važan za naše zdravlje, a nedovoljno sna može otežati održavanje zdrave tjelesne težine.

JEDAN od simbola grada Zagreba, složit će se mnogi, robna je kuća Nama. Poslovala je dobro sve do devedesetih, a 2000. godine ova robna kuća otišla je u stečaj koji traje već 23 godine. Sada zbog stečajnog duga na prodaju idu obje zgrade robne kuće Nama u Zagrebu – ona u Ilici i ona na Kvatriću. Za sada nije poznata sudbina tih zgrada, ni što će postati. O tome će odlučiti novi vlasnici.
>> Nakon 142 godine Zagreb ostaje bez jednog od svojih simbola. Ovo je priča o Nami
Zanimalo nas je što ljudi u Zagrebu kažu na ovaj nesretni rasplet vezan uz Namu, hoće li im nedostajati, ali i vežu li ih neka posebna sjećanja uz nju. Pogledajte što su nam rekli.
“U Nami kupujem 40 godina”
“Jako će mi nedostajati. Svaki dan idem u Namu i kupujem klasiku, garderobu”, rekla nam je prva gospođa. “Kupujem 40 godina sigurno, otkako sam došla u Zagreb”, dodala je. Istaknula je da joj se posebno u Nami sviđa to što ima domaće proizvođače, što su zaposlenici uslužni i educirani te ju znaju uputiti ako nešto treba.
“Ima od igle do lokomotive”
Druge dvije sugovornice su nam otkrile da rado kupuju u Nami. Jedna je istaknula da “oduvijek” kupuje u ovoj zagrebačkoj robnoj kući dok je druga dodala da će joj Nama nedostajati.

“Zato smo i došle da radimo prometa dok se još prometa raditi može”, naglasila je i istaknula: “Ima od igle do lokomotive, što god ti padne na pamet nađeš u Nami.” Od suđa, odjeće, dekoracija za kuću pa do šivanja, predmeti su koje kupuju u Nami. Nisu imale ništa negativno za reći o njoj.
“Žao mi je što kapitalizam sve preuzima”
“Jako će mi nedostajati, volim Namu, išla sam u Namu dosad jako puno puta. Nama je uvijek imala nekih stvari koje niti jedna druga trgovina nije imala i mislim da je baš simbol Zagreba i da je velika šteta što nestaje”, rekla nam je jedna Zagrepčanka. Ni ona nema ništa negativno za reći o Nami. “Samo sve najbolje”. Dodala je da joj je “žao što kapitalizam sve preuzima i ne vodi računa o kulturi i o nasljeđu.”
“Mislim da to nije u redu”
“Mi smo generacija kojoj su bile te trgovine pojam, i gostoljubivost i odlične ponude artikala. Ustvari način na koji se sada zatvaraju neke trgovine na koje smo navikli i nestaju neke stvari sa kojima smo se identificirali, mislim da to nije u redu”, istaknula nam je jedna gospođa. Dodala je da se u Nami uvijek osjeća jako ugodno.
“Sviđaju mi se isto zgrade u kojima se nalaze jer to je arhitektura koja tu postoji već puno godina, znači kvalitetna stara arhitektura sa nekim imenom i prezimenom ako tako mogu da je nazovem. A svi ovi novi kupovni centri koji su svi napravljeni po istom principu, industrijski, dizajnirani i kao što sam rekla, bezlični.”

Income-tax findings on an “unnamed” company perceived to be Polycab Industries and the company’s clarification failed to convince analysts. The Polycab stock corrected 21 per cent to ₹3,905 on Thursday because of a Ministry of Finance release suggesting tax evasion by the group.
While retaining the “Add” rating on the stock, Axis Capital cut the target price to ₹4,300 from its previous target of ₹5,809.
“We do not have sufficient information to decide: if tax evasion occurred?; time for final judgement if Polycab decides to contest the charges; scale of impact if tax evasion is proven (could be GST and IT evasion, and a penalty). But we believe a multiple derating is inevitable till the charges are proven otherwise,” said Axis Capital.
According to Anil R, Research analyst, Geojit Financial Services, the ongoing ₹1,000 crore tax evasion case involving Polycab awaits further clarity.
Amidst expectations of sustained volatility, there is an anticipation that the stock will underperform, he said, adding that regarding Polycab’s core operations, the robust performance in cable and wires was fuelled by strong volume growth, higher government spending, and a thriving real estate market.
“Looking ahead, despite a favourable demand environment, a moderated growth pace is foreseen due to factors such as higher interest rates, increased input costs, and intensified competitive pressures. On account of valuation concerns, we had recommended a sell rating with a target price of ₹4,473, which has been achieved.”
Meanwhile, SmallCap Fund Inc sold a 0.57 per cent stake or 8.51 lakh shares of the company through a block deal window at an average price of ₹3,599.87.
Axis Capital cut its target price to factor in the uncertainties due to the IT raid by cutting the target P/E to 30x Dec’25E (from 38x Sep’25E).
“We cut EPS estimates by 2-4% to factor in disruptions due to IT raid in FY24E and lower cables and wires margins as capacity is added in the sector in FY25/26E.”
In a late night “X” post, the income-tax department said it started search and seizure operations in Polycab and some of its distributors on 12 Dec’23 at more than 50 locations across Mumbai, Pune, Aurangabad, Nasik, Daman, Halol, and Delhi.
During the search, incriminating evidence was found and seized, revealing a modus operandi of tax evasion. Preliminary analysis suggests unaccounted cash sales, cash payments for unaccounted purchases, non-genuine transport, and subcontracting expenses to suppress taxable income.
Unaccounted cash sales of ₹1,000 crore (not recorded in the books), unaccounted cash payments of more than ₹400 crore made by a distributor on behalf of Polycab, and ₹100 crore of non-genuine expenses are some of the allegations. Cash exceeding ₹4 crore and more than 25 bank lockers have been put on restraint.”
In its response, Polycab said it’s yet to receive any communication from the income-tax department and denied any tax evasion and intends to appeal against the same if the charges are levelled.
Legal redressal and final judgment could take a long time in this scenario, cautioned Axis Capital.
Music vibrated at Goafest2023 — from Kanika Kapoor’s pulsating performance on day one to Papon’s effortless crooning on the final day, with McCann Worldwide Chief Prasoon Joshi’s impromptu renditions as well. Even cricketer Harbhajan Singh belted out a rousing number, bringing the house down. And for the first time ever, the ad industry showcased its in-house musical talent.
Even as a lot of delegates could be seen rushing to catch the IPL action on the big screen and cricket peppered conversations, this edition of the ad and media jamboree was firmly about a glorious contemplation of the future of creativity. From agency chiefs to creative professionals to media planners and movie industry personas, there were differing takes on where creativity is headed. Here is what we heard:
Creativity in the age of AI
How would creativity be disrupted in the age of AI? In a session on ‘The Future of Creativity’ moderated by Rohit Ohri, Chairman and CEO – FCB Ulka, panelists Anusha Shetty, Chairperson and Group CEO – Grey Group India, Josy Paul, Chairman and Group CCO – BBDO, T Gangadhar, Co-Founder and Group CEO – Quotient Ventures and Dheeraj Sinha, CEO and Chairman – Leo Burnett and BBH deliberated on this question. The unanimous view was that machine would aid man, and humans would continue to be at the centre of creativity.
Josy Paul put it beautifully when he said, “I have been through four generations of technology – the era of print, television, the internet and social media, and I have embraced all four of them. I think it’s because I didn’t fall in love with the medium. I fell in love with the people I have worked with.” He said, “While there is so much noise about AI, Emotional Intelligence is how agencies and brands will stand out. So when we talk about AI, I want to put EI on the table.”
Interestingly, on the last day, one got a live view of the use of AI in advertising as Leo Burnett executives showcased an ad they made for Airtel using deep fake technology to recreate the unrecorded 175 not-out scored by Kapil Dev in the 1983 World Cup match against Zimbabwe. Technology helped bring to life that remarkable match but as they pointed out, AI was only a multiplier — the starting point was human creativity.
Structure of Agencies
Both Rohit Ohri and Anusha Shetty were of the view that the structure of an organisation would need to be reframed to enable creativity in the age of technology. “The future structure for an advertising agency needs to be extremely fluid because if you knew what the future is going to look like you would not have a structure again. You need a fluid system and an open structure. I see a lean and horizontal structure. At this point the solution can only come from collaborations,” said Shetty.
As creativity evolves, talent too would also need to keep pace. As Paul pointed out, “Talent should be a combination of a visionary, missionary and an artist!”
Accenture Song’s creative chairperson Nick Law, in his talk said that in today’s age when time is of the essence, technology was imperative for creativity as it lent speed. He said that companies need to have consistent principles, possesses a collaborative personality, communicate with clarity, be adaptable to changes, work closely with technology, keep it simple and start in the middle — with ideas coming from the top deck as well as the lower pool.
Creativity and purpose
Many of the experts attending the event felt that creativity was linked to solving problems. As Aditi Mishra, CEO, Lodestar UM said, “Creativity just for the sake of creativity may no longer be enough but will need to be driven by purpose. When I’m saying purpose, it could be multifold — it could be about changing lives of people or solving environmental issues. And that shift will happen not just in the manner of say the content of the ad but it will also happen in ways that people consume, promote, engage with content. ” She also said authenticity of content would also matter. As Mishra summed up, the predefined norms of what creativity is will be challenged more and more.
SIGURNO ste primijetili kako se osjećate lakše i bolje nakon što vas netko dobro nasmije. Ali, znanost je pokazala da smijanje ne samo pomaže da se opustite, već čini i puno toga pozitivnog za naše zdravlje.
Prema studiji objavljenoj u časopisu International Journal of Obesity, smijanje također sagorijeva kalorije. Točnije, 10 do 40 kalorija ako se smijete 10 do 15 minuta dnevno. To je otprilike količina kalorija koju unesete dok pojedete malu čokoladicu.
Istraživači su do zaključaka došli mjereći broj otkucaja srca i potrošnju energije (stopu metabolizma) kod 100 dobrovoljaca koji su gledali humoristične isječke. “Otkrili smo da, kada su se ljudi smijali, povećanje je bilo oko 20 posto iznad prosječne stope metabolizma u mirovanju”, podijelio je za NBC News dr. Maciej Buchowski sa Sveučilišta Vanderbilt u Nashvilleu.

Također, neki znanstvenici smatraju da smijeh može imati sličan učinak na vaše hormone kao i tjelovježba. Pokazalo se i da može proizvesti iste rezultate kao i tjelovježba kada je u pitanju zdravlje srca. “Kada se smijete 15 minuta, povećanje promjera krvnih žila je slično onome koje se događa kada trčite ili radite neku drugu kardioaktivnost”, objašnjava za CNN kardiolog Michael Miller.
Nadalje, smijanje potiče veći unos kisika, što može biti korisno za naše unutarnje organe. Definitivno postoji nešto istine u izreci: “Smijeh je najbolji lijek”, jer on može poboljšati zdravlje imunološkog sustava, biti lijek protiv bolova, a i boriti se protiv hormona stresa, kortizola, koji može uzrokovati razne upale.
Iako se ne biste trebali oslanjati samo na smijeh da biste sagorjeli kalorije, regulirali hormone ili poboljšali kardiovaskularno zdravlje, njegove dobrobiti za naš organizam su više nego očite.

IMATI psa nije jeftino. Zdrava hrana, preparati za njegu i igračke, veterinarski troškovi – sve su to stvari koje mu moramo osigurati i na koje treba misliti prije nego što nabavimo ljubimca. Međutim, neke pasmine pasa čak su skuplje od prosjeka.
Veterinar Amir Anwary snimio je viralni video na TikToku u kojem je otkrio svoju listu pet pasmina čiji su veterinarski troškovi u prosjeku značajno najviši. Zanimljivo je da su sve velike pasmine.
5. Američki buldog
Na zadnjem mjestu ove nezahvalne liste našao se američki buldog. Oni obično imaju problema s kukovima i zglobovima, zbog čega često moraju piti skupe lijekove, ići na razna rehabilitacijska vježbanja ili na operaciju. Imaju potencijal razviti i ostale genetski prenosive zdravstvene probleme.
4. Cane corso
Ako se pravilno uzgajaju, mogu biti potpuno zdravi, ali su također podložni raznim zdravstvenim problemima. Najčešće ih pogađaju displazija kukova, idiopatska epilepsija, demodikoza i abnormalnosti očnih kapaka. Mogu imati i osjetljiv želudac.

3. Bordoška doga
Ovaj veliki pas bačvastih prsa također je pod visokim rizikom od po život opasne nadutosti. Može patiti i od srčanih bolesti, raka, ortopedskih problema te epilepsije.
2. Rotvajler
Možda neočekivano, ali ova popularna pasmina zauzela je visoko drugo mjesto. Uz njih se veže cijeli niz zdravstvenih problema, od ortopedskih, tipičnih za velike pasmine, pa do očnih bolesti i srčanih oboljenja. Također imaju problema s osjetljivošću želuca, a skloni su i razvoju raka kostiju i limfoma.
1. Švicarski planinski pas
Ovo je definitivno najskuplja pasmina koju možete imati. Imaju iste zdravstvene probleme s kojima se suočavaju sve druge velike pasmine, ali su kod njih mnogo češći. Urinarna inkontinencija kod steriliziranih ženki i štenaca također je česta pojava.

AMERIKANAC koji pod korisničkim imenom Car2Cro na TikToku redovito objavljuje videozapise o svom životu u Dubrovniku nedavno je podijelio tri stvari na koje se još privikava od dolaska u Hrvatsku.
U videu je naglasio razlike u porezima. U Hrvatskoj je PDV obično uključen u cijene proizvoda i usluga koje vidite na izlozima trgovina ili na računima, dok u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama porezi na prodaju obično nisu uključeni u istaknute cijene proizvoda ili usluga.
Pakiranje namirnica
Druga stvar koju je iznio odnosi se na pakiranje namirnica u vrećice u trgovinama. Ističe kako mu je taj postupak izuzetno stresan jer ima dojam da ga svi promatraju i očekuju da brzo završi. Izgleda da pakiranje nije izazov samo za njega, budući da su se mnogi Hrvati u komentarima izjasnili kako se i sami teško navikavaju na tu praksu.
“Živio sam cijeli život u Hrvatskoj, ali se nikad nisam naviknuo na činjenicu da moram sam spakirati svoje namirnice u vrećice”, “I meni je pakiranje namirnica veliki stres, a odavde sam”, “Ja sam iz Hrvatske i još uvijek sam pod stresom kad odem u trgovinu i oni počnu skenirati stvari super brzo”, pisali su ispod videa.

“Sve trgovine su bile zatvorene”
Kao treću stvar na koju se ne može priviknuti istaknuo je blagdane. Razlog tome je što ne zna kada su koji blagdani kod nas, što ponekad rezultira situacijom da nema gdje obaviti kupovinu. “Ne znam je li tako i u drugim gradovima u Hrvatskoj, ali u Dubrovniku, kada je neki blagdan, radi samo jedna trgovina”, izjavio je.
Prepričao je nedavno iskustvo kada se našao u toj situaciji. “Morali smo posjetiti prijatelje kako bismo uzeli nešto hrane jer smo ostali bez zaliha. Tog dana nismo imali ništa za jesti. Kada smo se vratili s puta u nedjelju, sve trgovine su bile zatvorene.”
Hrvati su mu u komentarima pružili korisne savjete: “Ni mi ne znamo sve praznike napamet, ali imamo zidne kalendare, na kojima su svi praznici označeni crvenim brojevima”, “Nedjeljom je sve zatvoreno. Otvoreno je samo nekoliko trgovina. Kupi si zalihe unaprijed”, “Živim u Puli i također imamo problem s trgovinama za blagdane. Zagreb i Rijeka su veći pa imaju izbora, ali mi nemamo i to je frustrirajuće”.

Expelled from European competition by UEFA this season, Juventus is still in contention for two of Italy’s domestic titles. Arkadiusz Milik scored a hat trick and the Bianconeri beat visiting Frosinone 4-0 on Thursday to advance into a matchup with Lazio in the Italian Cup semifinals. In Serie A, Juventus trails leader Inter Milan by two points at the season’s midpoint. The Turin club was removed from the third-tier Europa Conference League by UEFA for this season for a false accounting case. Massimiliano Allegri marked his 400th match as Juventus coach, becoming only the third manager to achieve that milestone with the club after Giovanni Trapattoni (596) and Marcello Lippi (405). Former Italy Captain Leonardo Bonucci Leaves Union Berlin for Fenerbahce After Troubled Four Months Stay.
Milik put Juventus ahead with a penalty 10 minutes in following a foul on Fabio Miretti. Then he completed a counterattack after exchanging passes with United States international Weston McKennie. His third was a tap in and then Kenan Yildiz added the fourth following another assist from McKennie.
Lazio beat city rival Roma in a derby on Wednesday. The other semifinal features Atalanta against Fiorentina.

With 641 horsepower, aggressive bodywork, upgraded chassis, upgraded suspension and upgraded brakes, not many people were likely thinking the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N would need much else. But “not many people” is also not “all people.” So for that subset that just want something even more wild, Hyundai is going to release aftermarket parts for the high-performance EV, and it previewed them with the NPX1 concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
NPX1 stands for “N Performance eXperimental 1” and it really is just a showcase for the aftermarket parts Hyundai is prepping for the Ioniq 5 N. They’re obviously centered around beefing up the already beefy 5 N’s sheetmetal. They include a huge front splitter with tall endplates, deep side skirts with rear air intakes, and a massive rear diffuser. The rear wing looks like it came off a race car. The NPX1 also sits on wheels that are a hybrid of alloy spokes and carbon fiber rims.
There are upgrades under the skin, too. Hyundai says that even more aggressive brake pads and lowering springs will be among the parts that will be offered. And the NPX1 also gets Alcantara throughout the interior and some racey bucket seats.
The parts are apparently still undergoing some development, but Hyundai says they will be available sometime this year for the Ioniq 5 N. It will be the first model getting a variety of factory aftermarket parts, but it won’t be the only one, with parts in development for Hyundai’s entire N range. Hyundai further noted it’s hoping to also offer software upgrades that can affect the artificial motor noises and possibly even the calibration of the throttle and motors. That of course leads us to wonder if power upgrades will be available. We’ll also be curious to see if some parts become available to N Line models, too. Certainly the future of Hyundai performance looks interesting.
The successful debt restructuring at Vedanta parentco Vedanta Resources (VRL) removes a major overhang on the stock. The restructuring comes at a higher cost, but gives Vedanta a two-year breather to focus on ongoing aluminium/zinc capex and monetisation of steel & iron ore assets, which would unlock incremental cash flows.
VEDL has been performing well operationally, and even financially, and has not been in a distress situation. The real issue of the stock’s underperformance has been the continuous overhang of parentco’s debt, whose repayment has now been deferred to FY27.

The debt restructuring bolsters the case for ratcheting up Vedanta’s target valuation. We now value VEDL ex-HZ at 5.5x EV/EBITDA (earlier 4.5x) and HZ at 6.5x FY26E EV/EBITDA. Moreover, promoters still can offload up to 13.6 per cent stake to revert to 50.1 per cent stake in Vedanta, providing additional liquidity.
Monetisation of steel & iron ore assets, vertical split of businesses, etc can unlock even more upside potential. On the whole, we believe Vedanta is moving in the right direction. We upgrade to ‘Buy’ with revised target price of ₹362 (from₹265).

AKO ŽELITE imati zdravu stolicu, važno je konzumirati voće, povrće, cjelovite žitarice, sjemenke, orašaste plodove i mahunarke. Ako vaša prehrana ne obiluje tim namirnicama, mogla bi dovesti do problema sa stolicom.
“Ako vam stolica izgleda kao da je od malih grudica i teško prolazi, onda imate jak zatvor. Slijedi kvrgava stolica, koja označava blagi zatvor”, objasnio je dr. Will Bulsiewicz u podcastu The Diary of a CEO.
Stolica koja ima oblik kobasice s pukotinama je zdrava, kao i ona koja je glatka.
“Ako imate stolicu s mrljama i jasnim rubovima, onda vam u prehrani nedostaje vlakana. Stolica koja je kašaste konzistencije i s neravnim rubovima ukazuje na upalu, a tekuća je posljedica upale i proljeva”, dodao je.
Što se tiče boje, bijela stolica ukazuje na blokadu koja sprječava miješanje žuči s sadržajem u crijevima.
“Ako se borite s probavljanjem masti, stolica će biti žute boje, dok zelena može ukazivati na infekciju, ali u većini slučajeva je znak da ste popili previše zelenih sokova. Slično je i s plavom stolicom – možda ste pojeli previše borovnica”, naglašava liječnik.

Ali, ako je vaša stolica crvena, odmah trebate potražiti liječničku pomoć.
“U pitanju je znak krvi u stolici. To nije normalno i trebate razgovarati s liječnikom. Krv u stolici često je posljedica raka debelog crijeva ili hemeroida”, istaknuo je.
Isto vrijedi i za crnu stolicu.
“Ona može ukazivati na krvarenje u želucu. Ako pritom užasno miriše i izgleda poput katrana, odmah se javite liječniku”, zaključio je dr. Bulsiewicz.

HAILEY Bieber istaknuta je osoba u svijetu ljepote, a svaki proizvod koji ona koristi postane pravi hit. U jednom intervjuu za Vogue otkrila je ključni proizvod u svojoj beauty rutini – Dieux Skin elegantnu masku za oči koja se može koristiti više puta.
Mogućnost višekratne upotrebe
Ključna karakteristika koja izdvaja Dieux Skin masku za oči od uobičajenih maski za podočnjake jest njezina mogućnost višekratne upotrebe. Za upotrebu jednostavno nanesete svoj omiljeni serum ili kremu za oči, pričekate da proizvod postane ljepljiv, a zatim stavite Forever Eye masku na 10 do 20 minuta.
Ova maska također ima višenamjensku funkciju jer obnavlja kožu, pojačava hidrataciju i djeluje kao tretman za oči.
Hailey nije jedina koja odobrava ovaj proizvod, evo što su drugi recenzenti rekli.

“Uvijek sam izbjegavala uobičajene maske za oči”, napisala je jedna osoba. “Sada, kad su moji podočnjaci postali suhi s dolaskom zime, odlučila sam isprobati ove. Već nakon prvih 10 minuta korištenja bila sam oduševljena! Čuvam ih u hladnjaku i koristim svako jutro… pružaju vidljivu razliku odmah nakon upotrebe, koja traje veći dio dana. Nakon otprilike tjedan dana redovite upotrebe primijetila sam da su moje fine linije i minimalna natečenost izgledali izglađeno tijekom cijelog dana.”
“Gotovo svakodnevno ih nosim i stvarno su unaprijedile moju rutinu”, podijelio je oduševljeni korisnik. “Sviđa mi se što mogu isprobati različite kreme za područje oko očiju kako bih vidjela što najbolje djeluje s njima. Savjet: Obavezno koristite manje proizvoda nego što mislite da vam treba.”
Maska košta 25 dolara (23 eura), a možete je vidjeti ovdje.

Arshdeep Singh concedes 15 runs off the final over as Afghanistan manage 158/5 in this 1st T20I against India. After both openers were back in the hut, it looked like this mark would not be reached by the visitors but Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai ensured that there was a momentum shift in the meantime. It is a good total, although Afghanistan would hope that they could some more. For India, it is a good bowling performance, albeit the dropped chances.

The BSE benchmark ended 271.50 points or 0.38 per cent higher at 71,657.71 on Wednesday. The Nifty advanced 73.85 points or 0.34 per cent to 21,618.70.
The saree’s amazing comeback saga continued in 2023. In its year-end report Flip Trends 2023, online retailer FlipKart said that the most shopped lifestyle product in the year gone by was the saree. Other online retailers too reported a big uptick in saree sales. According to Meesho, it witnessed a 1.5X growth in saree orders during the 2023 festive season as compared to the year before. More interesting, it says the age barrier has dissolved as 60 per cent of the saree customers were under 30.
The ₹80,000 crore Indian saree market is booming. A whole bunch of reasons are behind the saree’s spectacular showing – but the most compelling one seems to be the way new age saree brands like Suta, Shobitam, Chidiyaa Online, Raw Mango, Byloom, Taneira and many more have made the six yards very cool through hassle-free drapes, exciting blouses and accessories, cool hashtags, and a whole new narrative that includes sustainability, support for artisans, and a big saree sisterhood. Also, new interesting brands are bursting through in this category, creating more excitement and niches, thereby growing the saree pie further. Today, if youngsters can talk knowledgeably about Dabu, Bagru, Ikat, Leheriya, Ajrakh, Uppada, Jamdani, Sanganeri, Bandhani it’s thanks to many of these brands. No longer does a saree mean a Benarasi , Kancheevaram, Patola, Kota or a Pochampally. The diversity of India’s handlooms and printing traditions are now suddenly at the doorstep of every customer.
Stylists like Dolly Jain are also playing a part, as are Bollywood celebrities who are now seen draped in Suta, Shobitam and other D2C brand creations. Ambuj Narayan, CEO, Taneira, says, “The entry of stylists in the fashion industry, has led to rise in popularity of ready-to-wear sarees, innovative draping techniques and inventive fashioning of the saree as a garment. This has elevated the perception of the saree amongst the newer generations and made it more versatile than ever before.”
Youthful styling
“It’s beautiful to see how sarees have come back. We have had a role to play,” proclaims Sujata Biswas, co founder of Suta, the brand that has sashayed into Gen Z ‘s imagination and heart with its cool weaves and funky content. “Sarees are no longer a wedding, and temple visit wear — we have made it cool for any occasion,” asserts Taniya Biswas. And, indeed, it’s no idle claim. The two sisters, who created a label from the first two letters of their names (Su and Ta) in 2016, have seen their digital first brand going places. The brand saw a big jump in festive season sales last year — it sold 1.1 lakh sarees between July and November 2023 as compared to 60,000 units in the same period in 2022. In 2023, Suta launched eight offline stores to add to the Bangalore store it opened in 2022. “We are going to open our ninth offline store in Pune,” says Taniya, pointing out how most of the stores are less than a year old but already contributing 15 per cent of Suta’s business. Suta has also made its customers bond more with its sarees by giving each of them a quirky name — for instance, there is a Bossy Caramel, a Laal Chumki, a Chandni ke Phool and so on.
The sisters say the biggest chunk of their saree customers are in the 25 to 35 age group while the second largest chunk is 18 to 25. A few years ago it would be unthinkable for anyone in this age cohort to wear sarees to casual lunches or date nights. But the starchy formality has now gone out of the garment. Messy drapes are regarded as hip. Wear it with a halter neck blouse, add a belt and style it with boots, or a short coat and you are ready to compete against the LBD at swank parties.
Taneira too is going all out to woo the young. “Our styling is focused on making the saree look conducive for the young. Today, a saree appeals to a young office goer as much as it is dear to our grey-haired grannies,” says Narayan.
Ramya Rao and Kavea Chavali have put the lustre back in the Andhra Uppada
Jermina Menon, a strategy consultant based in Bengaluru, and a saree evangelist, says that the garment has got a boost from two things — one, the blouses that range from styles that are backless to halter to crop tops and even shirts. Two, from different draping styles that have made sarees more contemporary and stylish. She also says that the handloom space has seen a big boost post pandemic. “I can vouch for a few weavers who went online and sold direct and I see them improve — whether it is in their communication, or websites or promotions (through influencers).”
Menon points one to Kalaneca, again being built by two sisters, twins Ramya Rao and Kavea R Chavali, that is resurrecting the Andhra Uppada. What started as a hobby for the sisters, who were working professionals and are Kuchipudi dancers, to help the weavers get more business, is now a full-fledged brand with a marketing strategy and a mission to get more consumers experience the weave. Rao has left her job to grow Kalaneca full time while Kavea, a corporate emcee flaunts the Uppada at every occasion she can. “It’s grand, yet so light and easy to wear,” extols Rao. The Rao sisters, who got interested in the Uppada thanks to their mother who would visit the weavers’ belt, are also building another brand Etram (derived from Arangetram) that would have a wider range and also do blouses.
Rao says Kalaneca has an international focus and this year they will also be trying to make one of a kind customised sarees. Through events like Sarees and Sangria — a get together of saree lovers over a drink they have done in Mumbai and Bengaluru — they have driven the conversation to the Uppada weaving traditions and created interest.
One stop shops
The growth of the saree is also because many of the pain points associated with wearing sarees – getting a matching blouse stitched (and a good fit is always a problem), arranging the falls and petticoat — have all vanished. “There was a perception that there was just too much kaam jham involved in a saree. For people to wear it instantly, we had to solve the problem,” says Taniya.
Just like other apparel, which you can wear straight off the rack, a shopper can now go to a store like Taneira or Suta and get the whole look, sarees, blouses, tailoring et al. And that has spawned a whole new profitable business for saree brands. Suta says earlier blouses were 20 per cent of its revenues , but now 35 to 40 per cent of its nearly ₹70 crore annual revenue comes from blouses.
Interestingly, many of the brands say this need came from global consumers — Indians living in the US, especially, who are big online saree consumers, who want everything taken care of. Shobitam, for instance, started by two sisters in Seattle, Aparna and Ambika, started with the promise of making Indian ethnic wear available globally.

For Taneira too, from the house of Tatas, ready-to-wear blouses category is seeing good traction. “We are expanding our portfolio of blouses and have also introduced in-skirts, aiming to become a comprehensive one-stop solution for sarees. Additionally, blouses play a significant role in attracting consumers, as there’s a growing trend of mixing and matching outfits. They serve as a great complement to existing sarees, allowing for the creation of fresh, new looks,” says Narayan. Indeed, many saree wearers like Jermina Menon now say they probably have more blouses than sarees.
Taneira, which already has 50 stores across India as well as an online presence, is targeting a topline of ₹1,000 crore by 2027. It is also doing a fair bit to grow the saree pie further by getting in new users. For instance, Taneira has launched the JAM (Just-a-minute) collection, featuring pre-styled and pre-draped sarees starting at ₹8,000. “There’s a growing inclination towards fashion that offers both speed and comfort without compromising on style. The introduction of pre-draped and pre-stitched sarees intends to make wearing them more enjoyable, eliminating any stigma associated with not knowing how to drape a sari,” says Narayan.
The outlook for 2024 — “Sarees will become the next casual wear,” predict Sujata and Taniya.
TRČANJE nije samo sport, to je način života. Ali, krenimo od osnova – kako odabrati prave tenisice koje će vas nositi kilometrima asfalta, šumske staze ili atletske staze? Ne brinite, imamo sve odgovore.
Razumijevanje vaših nogu: Jedan veličina ne odgovara svakome
Tip noge: Prvo i osnovno, važno je znati tip vašeg stopala. Pronator, supinator, ili neutralan? Vaš izbor tenisica treba odražavati ove karakteristike.
Mjerenje veličine: Kao i kod odijela, ključno je pravilno izmjeriti vaše noge. Veličina može varirati ovisno o brendu.
Materijal i tehnologija: Ne štedite na kvaliteti
Amortizacija: Tražite tenisice s dobrom amortizacijom kako biste smanjili rizik od ozljeda.
Materijali: Lagani, prozračni materijali su ključ za udobnost i prevenciju blisterskih problema.
Razmišljajte o terenu: Nije svaka površina ista
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Asfalt vs. Staza: Tenisice za asfalt se razlikuju od onih za trčanje po prirodi. Različiti tereni zahtijevaju različitu trakciju i potporu.
Cijena vs. kvaliteta: Što Uistinu plaćate?
Investicija u Zdravlje: Skuplje ne znači uvijek bolje, ali ne treba ni birati najjeftinije. Vaše tenisice su investicija u vaše zdravlje i performanse.
Testiranje i povratne informacije: Poslušajte svoje tijelo
Probajte prije kupnje: Svaka trgovina koja drži do sebe dopustit će vam da ‘probate’ tenisice.
Recenzije i preporuke: Pročitajte što drugi trkači kažu o modelima koji vas zanimaju.
Odabir pravih tenisica za trčanje je osobna i važna odluka. Uložite vrijeme u istraživanje i testiranje različitih modela, i neka vaši novi kilometri budu udobniji, brži i sigurniji!

Top-ranked Iga Swiatek will face 2020 champion Sofia Kenin in the first round and potentially 2016 winner Angelique Kerber or Danielle Collins in the second in a tough start to her bid for a first Australian Open title. Defending champion Novak Djokovic’s bid for a record-extending 11th Australian Open title could include a third-round match against Andy Murray and a quarterfinal against No. 7 Stefanos Tsitsipas, the runner-up last year. Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek Get No 1 Seedings Ahead of Australian Open 2024.
The draws to determine singles brackets were held Thursday, with the return of former champions Naomi Osaka, Kerber and Caroline Wozniacki to Melbourne Park after maternity breaks resulting in some high-pressure opening rounds. Osaka, who has won the Australian Open and U.S. Open titles twice, opens against No. 16 Caroline Garcia and is in the same quarter of the draw as U.S. Open winner Coco Gauff.
Three-time major winner Kerber will open against Collins, who beat Swiatek in the semifinals here in 2022 on her way to the final. That was Swiatek’s best run at the Australian Open so far. Wozniacki, the 2018 champion, will meet 2023 semifinalist and 20th-seeded Magda Linette in the first round, while defending champion Aryna Sabalenka opens against a qualifier.
Possible women’s quarterfinals could be: No. 1 Swiatek vs. No. 7 Marketa Vondrousova, and No. 3 Elena Rybakina vs. No. 5 Jessica Pegula on the top half; No. 2 Sabalenka vs. No. 6 Ons Jabeur, and No. 4 Gauff vs. No. 8 Maria Sakkari on the bottom half.

As well as the potential 2023 final rematch between Djokovic and Tsitsipas, other quarterfinals could be: No. 4 Jannik Sinner vs. No. 5 Andrey Rublev in the top half; No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz vs. No 6 Alexander Zverev, and No. 3 Daniil Medvedev vs. No. 8 Holger Rune on the bottom half.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. is developing a product for electric vehicles that it says will help ease something that’s hampered their competitiveness against gas-powered vehicles: tire duration.
EVs weigh more than their internal combustion counterparts owing to their heavy battery packs, putting more wear and tear on tires. Goodyear sought to extend EVs’ tire mileage with its new ElectricDrive 2 product that it plans to reveal Tuesday at CES in Las Vegas. The first iteration of the tire came with a 60,000-mile warranty. The average EV tire typically needs to be replaced after 30,000 to 40,000 miles, according to Kelley Blue Book.
Goodyear expects the tires to be commercially available in North America starting in May, joining two other EV-specific offerings, according to Chief Technology Officer Chris Helsel. (Goodyear also released the Urban Max BSA tire line last June, which is specifically designed for electric buses.) The ElectricDrive 2 series will be produced in 17 different sizes — the company’s largest line for EVs, Helsel said — that will serve vehicle models, including the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Chevy Bolt. He declined to specify the cost of the ElectricDrive 2 line of tires and planned production quantities.
The company’s new EV product is expected to feature materials including soybean oil used in the tire’s construction as well as sustainably sourced natural rubber as well as high-quality rice husk ash silica, which is a byproduct when rice is processed. Tire pollution is a growing concern for the industry, both at the end of their life and the pollution they leave on the road in the form of tiny particles that can include microplastics, volatile organic compounds and other chemicals that pose a risk to the environment.
After the successful venture into automobile sector, Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group is preparing the ground for listing its cement business on stock exchanges to raise about ₹6,500 crore.
Sources said JSW Cement has reached out to domestic and foreign investment banks including SBI Capital, Kotak Mahindra Capital, JM Financial, DAM Capital, Jefferies, Citi and Goldman Sachs for advising the company on the proposed initial public offering.
The proposed IPO will also provide a partial exit for early private equity investors such as Apollo Global Management and Synergy Metals Investments Holding, the source added.
The company declined to comment on the development when businessline reached out.
In a first, after 13 years, the group recently listed JSW Infrastructure to raise ₹2,800 crore in September. The company’s shares, which was issued at ₹119 a piece, is currently trading at ₹215.
With the intense competition and consolidation in the industry, JSW Cement plans to utilise the IPO funds for expansion, debt reduction and working capital, sources said.
Soaring Demand
JSW Cement’s initial public offer will be the biggest in the construction material industry after Nirma group backed Nuvoco Vistas raised ₹5,000 crore in August, 2021.
Driven by JSW scion, Parth Jindal, JSW Cement has a capacity of 19 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) across its manufacturing units at Vijayanagar in Karnataka, Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh, Salboni in West Bengal, Jajpur in Odisha and Dolvi in Maharashtra.
The company, which is close to completing 2 mtpa of expansion, has an ambitious target to achieve 60 mtpa capacity in next 5 years through brownfield and greenfield expansion.
The soaring demand in the cement sector has forced leading players — UltraTech Cement and Adani Group companies Ambuja Cements and ACC — to consolidate their position through acquisitions.
UltraTech Cement, an Aditya Birla Group company, had made two acquisitions last November by buying out BK Birla Group company Kesoram Industries’ 10.75 mt cement capacity for ₹7,700 crore in all share deal and cement grinding assets of Burnpur Cement in Jharkhand for ₹170 crore.
Ambuja Cements recently acquired Sanghi Cements for ₹5,185 crore to take its capacity to 31 mtpa with six integrated cement manufacturing plants and eight cement grinding units across the country. Both Ambuja Cements and ACC plan to double their capacity 137 mtpa in next five years.
India’s OTT market, sized at $2.5 billion (this includes YouTube), went through a major disruption in 2023, as Jio Cinema offered the most premium content—Indian Premier League—free to users. This negatively impacted subscription revenue growth for peers and the industry at large and led to Disney Plus offering cricket World Cup free for mobile customers.
The OTT market in India is currently battling the dilemma between growth and profitability in a price-sensitive market. 2023 was a year of disruption for cricket content, as Jio Cinema used it to build a large customer base for itself. But expect some serious changes in the OTT landscape in 2024 as platforms now look to chase profitability.
Since the advent of affordable 4G service and video OTT in India in 2017, none of the video streaming platforms have been able to reach break-even point, which could lead to some structural changes in this market.
Economics
Content cost correction is the need of the hour, as most big OTT platforms are making hefty losses. According to our assessment, the Indian OTT industry’s revenue (excluding YouTube) is $1.3 billion. However, the content cost alone comes around $1.5-2 billion, which is approximately 65-70 per cent of the OTT platforms’ cost base (other costs include marketing, manpower and technology). Thus, one can expect some rationalisation in this area as platforms become selective in their approach towards new shows. There will be a sharp decline in experimentation within web series and a more selective approach when it comes to purchasing digital rights of films in 2024, which will help lower losses.
Consolidation is another big change for the OTT industry, with the Zee/Sony merger and potential talks of RIL/Disney coming together. A merger between these entities will provide much needed respite as these four platforms (Jio Cinema, Sony Liv, Hotstar and Zee5) together command a market share of more than 40 per cent in video advertising (including YouTube). This may shift the bargaining power aggressively in favour of platforms and arrest content costs across various types of content (movies, web series etc).
Pricing
A freemium pricing model is here to stay for video OTT platforms in India, as we don’t foresee the scale up of pure play video advertising models given that the digital advertising market is fragmented with presence of search, social and e-commerce giants.
Subscription revenue is a sticky revenue stream which will provide a predictable cash flow for OTT platforms and take care of their content budgets. Given the wide variety of audience in India across multiple languages, a freemium model with a mix of free and pay based content augurs well over the long term. OTT platforms may not be able raise prices extensively just as yet, and hence will find innovative means like 1) curbs on password sharing, 2) ad-supported content within pay-based video services, to drive better monetisation.
Censorship
Regulation is an overhang in a diverse market like India. However, don’t expect blanket censorship as that will stall the growth of digital consumption. Self regulation will continue to exist going ahead too; however, there could be a potential set up wherein content on OTT is constantly monitored and platforms making content hurting religious or minority sentiments may be penalised with hefty fines.
Viewership tracking
Video OTT has the best advantage of tracking consumption and viewership trends across markets. Netflix recently started sharing data, providing details of time spent on various shows globally.
Transparency from the OTT platforms will increase, as they start sharing selective data around viewership trends. This could benefit 1) advertisers for better ROI and 2) content creators to predict what kind of content actually does well.
All in all, things are poised well for the Indian OTT market, which seems set for strong growth coupled with profitability.

PREGLEDAVANJE društvenih mreža na privatnom telefonu, rezerviranje letova, čak i slanje brzog odgovora s palcem gore u aplikaciji za slanje poruka – to je sve obično nepovezano s poslom koji biste trebali raditi. Neke tvrtke na privatne pametne telefone gledaju kao na nešto što ometa posao, čak tjeraju radnike da svoje uređaje ostave u ormariću prije ulaska u ured ili trgovinu.
Ali takve vrste zabrana mogle bi biti kontraproduktivne, prema australskim i irskim znanstvenicima koji kažu da korištenje privatnih telefona na poslu ne utječe na produktivnost i čak može smanjiti stres.
Tim Sveučilišta Galway i Sveučilišta Melbourne proveo je godinu dana prateći 40 zaposlenika kojima je bilo dopušteno koristiti privatne telefone u europskoj podružnici neimenovane globalne farmaceutske tvrtke. Tim je to usporedio s drugom skupinom ispitanika koji nisu smjeli koristiti svoje telefone dok su bili na poslu.
Otkrili su da oni koji koriste privatne telefone, nisu imali ništa lošije radne rezultate od kolega koji ih nisu koristili, te da se problemi koji proizlaze iz preklapanja posla i privatnog života smanjuju kad se ukine zabrana korištenja privatnih pametnih telefona na radnom mjestu u svrhe nevezane uz posao.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Radnici obuhvaćeni istraživanjem ranije su se žalili na “restriktivan pristup” tvrtke prema korištenju osobnih telefona, koji datira iz 1990-ih, rekavši da se osjećaju “isključeno”. Podržali su ih neki članovi menadžerskog tima koji su ocijenili ograničenja kao “tehnofobna” te u neskladu s pravilima u drugim podružnicama iste tvrtke.
“Menadžeri moraju shvatiti neželjene posljedice prisilne zabrane privatnih pametnih telefona”, rekao je Eoin Whelan sa Sveučilišta Galway.
“Sprečavanje upotrebe telefona na radnom mjestu može povećati sukob između poslovnog i privatnog života, što zauzvrat ima značajne implikacije na radni učinak, zadovoljstvo poslom, izostanak s posla, namjere promjene, kao i opću dobrobit”, dodao je Whelan.

“Ovo je prvi put u povijesti da smo imali autentičnu reprezentaciju lika u filmu ove veličine. Bila mi je čast predstavljati svoju zajednicu i kulturu. To nikad prije nije bilo napravljeno i to je jako velika odgovornost”, ispričala je Aria.
Serija je bazirana na istoimenom romanu autora Anthonyja Doerra, koji je osvojio Pulitzerovu nagradu. Dvoje mladih ljudi pokušava preživjeti Drugi svjetski rat: slijepa Francuskinja koja se skriva u gradu i njemački vojnik koji je prisiljen boriti se za Treći Reich.

Virat Kohli to Miss India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I at Mohali Due to Personal Reasons; Set to Join Squad Before 2nd T20I.
With Rohit Sharma back in the side, there is all set to be a change in the opening combination. Ruturaj Gaikwad opened with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the last two series but this time Rohit Sharma will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal as confirmed by coach Rahul Dravid. Sanju Samson is likely to take the number three spot in the absence of Virat Kohli and he will be followed by a left handed batter in Tilak Varma. Jitesh Sharma and Rinku Singh will continue in their regular role in number five and six.
Axar Patel has returned to the squad as the left arm spin all-rounder and is set to bat in number seven. Arshdeep Singh had an impressive outing in South Africa, he will lead the bowling alongside Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan who were impressive in the last two series as well. Mukesh has been a reliable option for India at the death. The toughest decision will be needed to be made in terms who will be the lead spinners with both Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav both having performance behind their back.

Remember when a heated car seat was a big deal? Or when seats were made to cool the driver? Or massage his or her tush on a particularly annoying commute?
Recaro has been there, done that, and this week is showing off a range of advanced seating options for sim racing and endurance racing at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The tech advances far beyond the heated seat.
First to debut, for professional racers and track-day drivers, was the Pro Supreme GT FPR seat, a product of a collaboration between Recaro Automotive and Ford Performance Racing, conceived specifically for the Ford Mustang GT3.
The seat offers a suite of features such as interchangeable pads in three sizes and tiered attachment point side mounts, providing maximum individual fitting flexibility. It carries the prestigious FIA certification, a testament to its adherence to stringent safety standards, Recaro says. It has been crash tested for 10 years of use in FIA-sanctioned races, underlining its reliability in high-stakes endurance racing environments.
Moving down the technology spectrum is Recaro FeelTech+, a set of seat insert pads that work with several different Recaro seats. It leverages what Recaro calls Metahaptics, offering immersive haptic and touch experiences for sim racing, e-sports and upscale video games.
As The Drive described the tech, if one climbs a “simulated” curb, the game’s sounds will translate to vibrations in the seats via 14 actuators in the seat padding, to make it feel as if you’re actually running over the obstacle.
The seats that can work with FeelTech+ are the Recaro Pro Sim Star, Recaro Profi SPG/SPG XL, the Recaro Pole Position, and the Recaro Sport C with haptics.
Recaro did not reveal pricing for its latest offerings.
“Recaro Automotive has a 60-year history of being the first in our industry with new product innovations,” said Emil Kreycik, president and COO, in a press statement. “Not only will visitors see firsthand the new Pro Supreme GT FPR ahead of the Ford Mustang’s return to global GT3 racing, they will experience the rich tactile responses available in our latest SIM seat, and, for the purists, see how Recaro Automotive has developed a seat structure with cross-functional purposes, answering our OEM partners desires for a seating platform that can work across vehicle lines.”

Welcome to 2024! This is the time when marketers are looking for new trends and insights that can power their brands during the new year. Several consulting and research firms have duly produced reports on the big consumer trends for the year ahead. However, there is a boring sameness to many of these reports. So, even while we scan these, where can we turn to for fresh consumer insights?
Here are some interesting places:
New Year’s resolutions
So many people make resolutions for the New Year. These resolutions also signal some of their most important needs for the year. For 2024, many surveys have thrown up “improve fitness” as a top resolution for over 40 per cent of all affluent and middle class consumers. This immediately throws us key opportunities for several diverse categories, ranging from food and beverage products to wearables to yoga garments. Similarly, resolutions such as “improve mental health”, “make more time for loved ones” and “lose weight” feature in the top 10 resolutions for the year.
Interestingly, something as specific as “prioritise time in nature” is emerging as a key new year’s resolution for many people this year. Each of these sharp needs can help marketers think of new products, prioritise existing ones, or even develop communication that emotionally vibes with these areas. For brands which have built their own first-party consumer databases, it may be worthwhile to check out the top new year’s resolutions of specific segments of these consumers. This could potentially lead to powerful and targeted marketing campaigns.
Peach Fuzz, colour of the year
At the start of each year, Pantone, the global company synonymous with colours, sets the mood by announcing the colour of the year. This is based on research carried out by the company. “Peach fuzz” has just been declared as the colour of 2024. This is a velvety gentle peach shade, which, according to Pantone, helps bring a “heartfelt feeling of kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration”. Clearly, in a world that has been torn apart by wars, conflicts and sharp polarisation, the need for deep warmth and cocooned comfort has been a key factor in arriving at this choice. Marketers can leverage this beautiful insight in many interesting ways. For instance, brands can consider introducing peach fuzz colour options of existing cars, launching brand new peach fuzz inspired garments or bringing back the delicious peach melba flavour of ice creams. In addition, brands can also engage consumers with this mood of warmth, safety and comfort through many other touch points such as advertising, retail stores and digital websites.
Sports and elections
2024 is a huge year for sports. Apart from the usual much anticipated annual events such as IPL and the tennis grand slam tournaments, the Olympics will be hosted in Paris this year. The ICC T-20 cricket World Cup is scheduled in the US and West Indies. Copa America will be played in Argentina. Between athletics, cricket, football and more, marketers will be presented with a wide choice of how and where to associate their respective brands with sports. From sponsoring tournaments or individual sportspeople to smart guerilla marketing opportunities, there are many interesting directions that can be considered if marketers are proactive enough.
Quite coincidentally, this is also a big year for elections, with as many as 40 countries, including India, the US and the UK heading to the polls. This combination of sports and elections is likely to have a multiplier effect in generating strong feelings of patriotism and nationalistic pride. Also, both these events typically give rise to great passions, and marketers may wish to consider how best to constructively leverage these high emotions.
The big screen
Finally, I would urge marketers to take a look at the most anticipated movie releases of 2024, both in Bollywood and Hollywood. Successful blockbuster movies tend to spark off consumer trends quite spontaneously, and brands can proactively think of how best to ride the hype. 2024 has a promising line-up here too. From big bang films such as Kalki 2898 AD with a cast full of superstars to women-centric films including Do Patti and The Crew, there is much on offer in Bollywood this year. Similarly, big Hollywood releases are likely to include Dune: Part Two and perhaps even the next movie of the Spiderman franchise.
I conclude with a broader point for marketers. It pays to look for market and consumer insights in unconventional places. These should be a necessary supplement to formal market research studies.

DR. MICHAEL Mosley, kojeg nazivaju britanskim Dr. Ozom, otkrio je kako se natjerati da pijemo više vode. U emisiji Secrets of Your Big Shop izjavio je da postoji nekoliko načina kako promijeniti okus vode, ovisno o tome što nam se sviđa.
“Svježi agrumi, poput limuna ili limete, dat će vodi kiselkasti okus”, rekao je.
Ako volite slatke napitke, preporučuje smrznuto bobičasto voće koje dodaje prirodne zaslađivače.
“Od kriški svježeg krastavca i mente osjećat ćete se kao da se opuštate u otmjenom spa-centru”, kaže.
Na kraju postoji još jedna opcija.

“Uvijek možete ubaciti vrećicu svog omiljenog čaja u vodu, pustiti je da odstoji i onda je popiti.”
Stručnjaci preporučuju pijenje šest do osam čaša vode svaki dan, odnosno oko 1.2 litre. Pijenje vode važno je za cijeli organizam, a osobito je dobar saveznik u mršavljenju.
“Pijenje vode uz obrok može smanjiti količinu koju jedete, pa čak i povećati broj kalorija koje sagorijevate. Studije također pokazuju da podiže razinu energije i koncentraciju. I to besplatno”, zaključio je dr. Mosley.

VOZAČ kamiona iz Illinoisa Chad McIntyre bio je tužan nakon što je mačak Tyler pobjegao iz njegovog vozila tijekom zaustavljanja na stajalištu za kamione u Nevadi. Chad tvrdi da ga je Tyler često pratio na dugim vožnjama.
“Lijepo je što leži na suvozačevom mjestu. Ne odgovara mi kad mu nešto kažem, ali lijepo je imati nekoga s kim možeš razgovarati”, rekao je McIntyre za KSTU-TV. McIntyre je rekao da je mijenjao Tylerovu kutiju s pijeskom kada je mačak odlutao sa stajališta Flying J Truck Stop u Fernleyu.
“Tražio sam ga, ali ga nisam mogao pronaći”
“Morao sam obaviti dostavu u Walmart pa sam morao otići, nije me bilo oko 2 i pol sata i odmah sam se vratio i ponovno ga počeo tražiti. Sljedećeg sam dana morao ići u Kaliforniju. Zatim sam se vratio sljedeće noći i pokušao ga ponovno potražiti, ali ga još uvijek nisam mogao pronaći”, rekao je McIntyre.
Tyler se “ukrcao” drugom vozaču kamiona te se pojavio pet dana kasnije na stajalištu Flying J Truck Stopu u Rock Springsu, oko 1078 kilometara daleko od Fernleya. Mačka je odvedena u lokalno sklonište za životinje i pronašli su mikročip i pokrenuli akciju vraćanja Tylera kući.

Mački je zabranjeno voziti se u kamionu
Nadzornica Rock Springs Animal Control Lydia Gomez radila je s nezavisnom koordinatoricom prijevoza Joan Nickum kako bi Tylera odvezla kući u Illinois. Uz pomoć volontera koji su prevozili mačka, uspio je sigurno doći kući.
Chad i njegova supruga Brandi McIntyre su rekli da se Tyler uskoro više neće gubiti na postajama za kamione.
“Neko vrijeme mu je zabranjeno voziti se u kamionu. Suprug i ja smo upravo odlučili da je možda bolje da ostane kod kuće barem neko vrijeme, ali najdalje što može otići je niz ulicu”, rekla je Brandi McIntyre.

U LAS VEGASU se trenutno održava CES 2024. Radi se o godišnjem sajmu koji organizira Consumer Technology Association. Događaj obično ugošćuje prezentacije novih proizvoda i tehnologija u industriji potrošačke elektronike. Stoga ne čude svi noviteti koji dolaze s tog sajma posljednjih dana, a očekuje ih se još u narednima.
Posljednji koji nam je zapeo za oko stiže od marke LG. Kako piše Engadget, LG svake godine na CES-u obično prikazuje mnoštvo novih televizora, ali to su obično tradicionalniji ravni ekrani. Ove godine u Las Vegasu tvrtka je debitirala s nečim sasvim drugačijim uz ažuriranja svoje M i G-serije.
4 K rezolucija i bežični prijenos zvuka i videa
OLED T je ono što tvrtka naziva prvim bežičnim transparentnim OLED TV-om, s 4K rezolucijom i LG-jevom tehnologijom bežičnog prijenosa zvuka i videa. Njegov prozirni OLED zaslon uklanja uobičajena ograničenja koja dolaze s konvencionalnim televizorima.
LG-jev prozirni OLED omogućuje vlasnicima otkrivanje novih oblika zabave i korištenja putem dvostrukog iskustva gledanja: prozirnog i neprozirnog. Jedinica ima kontrastni zaslon koji se uvlači u kutiju na svojoj bazi, a koji možete podići ili spustiti pritiskom na gumb.
OLED T pokreće novi LG-jev Alpha 11 AI procesor s navodno četiri puta boljom izvedbom od čipa prethodne generacije. Dodatna snaga nudi 70 posto veću grafičku izvedbu i 30 posto veću brzinu obrade, prema tvrtki.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
OLED T model radi sa Zero Connect Boxom tvrtke koji je debitirao na prošlogodišnjem M3 OLED uređaju koji bežično šalje video i audio na TV. To znači da sve svoje uređaje za streamanje i igraće konzole povezujete na Box, a ne na televizor.
Potpuno transparentni izgled
Baza OLED T-a sadrži zvučnike okrenute prema dolje, kao i neke druge komponente. LG kaže da će televizor dolaziti u nekoliko opcija postavljanja u domu – samostojećoj, opciji postave uza zid i na zid.
LG je također stavio ono što naziva T-Bar na OLED T – korisna informacijska oznaka koja se kreće duž donjeg dijela zaslona. Ona daje mješavinu vijesti, vremenskih prilika, naslova pjesama koje se reproduciraju i još mnogo toga uz dno televizora dok ostatak zaslona predstavlja jasan, neometan pogled na prostor iza njega.
“Želim jedan”
“Prvo Samsung sada LG, bože, tehnologija ide naprijed”, “Još 5 godina i ‘nosit’ ćemo ove ekrane na naočalama”, “Ali zašto?”, “Prozori će postati ekrani”, “Želim jedan”, “Ovo je baš kul”, “Apple će ga izbaciti u 2075.”, “Ovo je jako interesantno”, neki su od komentara na TikToku.
Samsung je najavio sličan transparentni TV, ali MicroLED
Samsung je također najavio transparentni TV na CES-u 2024, ali ta verzija je MicroLED. No ni za njega kao ni za ovaj od LG-a nema još informacija o tome kada bi mogao biti dostupan ili koliko će koštati. LG je doduše najavio da planira prodavati svoj OLED TV u 2024. godini.

LOS ANGELES: Actress-singer Barbra Streisand once had an obsession with gambling on the stock market.
The 81-year-old revealed buying and selling stocks gave her a “thrill” between 1998 and 2000 as she traded millions of dollars, including investing in Viagra maker Pfizer.
According to the Mirror, she wrote in her memoir ‘My Name Is Barbra’: “From about 1998 to 2000, I was trading Monday through Friday, from 6.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. At 6.25 a.m. my eyes would open wide, without an alarm.
“I’d get up, throw on my bathrobe, sit down at my new desk with a cup of hot chocolate, and start trading. That was a whole new learning experience. I like gambling. Whenever I sang in Las Vegas, I would play blackjack.”
Barbra shared her methods of picking new stocks were unusual, based on personal preferences rather than in depth research, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“I had to follow the news and pick stocks. I read about this new drug for men called Viagra and thought, ‘That’s going to be very popular!’ It was made by Pfizer, so I immediately bought some shares,” she said.
“I chose Apple because I liked their products. (My PA) Renata loves Starbucks coffee, so I bought Starbucks.
“One time I picked a stock because it had my initials. It was fun. I was riding the momentum of the market like a rollercoaster, and it was scary and thrilling at the same time,” she said.
Although she loved her time trading, the actress-singer revealed she eventually quit because it became too stressful.
Barbra wrote: “The main reason I loved it was because it was private. I didn’t have to act or sing. Nobody was looking at me. I could do all my transactions over the phone, in my nightgown.
“I’m no longer playing with such big sums. After being burned several times (I lost my shirt, my dress, and my nerve in the 2008 financial meltdown), I decided to stick to bonds.”
If flying cars ever glide their way into the mainstream, Mansory is ready to tune them. Known for giving luxury cars a polarizing makeover, the German tuner published renderings of a coupe fitted with an aggressive-looking body kit, a pair of small wings, and retractable wheels.
Mansory stresses that its Empower concept isn’t an accurate preview of an upcoming production model. It acknowledges that “no one can say for sure” what the car of the future will look like, and that regardless of whether it flies, floats, or travels underground, buyers will always want customization options. With that said, the brand hasn’t released technical specifications about the design study. It takes the form of a coupe with the basic proportions of a car powered by a mid-mounted engine and a handful of vaguely Lotus- and Bugatti-like styling cues.
The rest is pure Mansory. The concept features a front splitter, vents integrated into the hood, a roof-mounted scoop that flows into a fin, and a two-piece rear spoiler. Several little wings presumably keep the Empower stable when it’s flying, and there’s a huge diffuser out back. Most of these add-ons are made with carbon fiber. If you get tired of flying, you can deploy the four wheels to drive the Empower on the ground.
Would you want billionaires flying over you in a Mansory? Stay tuned: The brand describes the Empower as “a distant view of a possible future,” though “distant” is the key word in this sentence as the flying cars that we’ve been promised for the past few decades still aren’t close to becoming a common sight in the skies. On a more realistic and slightly less Batman-ish note, Mansory announced some of the cars it will tune in 2024: the Rolls-Royce Spectre, the Lamborghini Revuelto, and the Ferrari Purosangue all appear on the company’s program.

I remember the first time I got a pair of jeans. I felt so happy that there was finally an alternative to my boring school shorts. They were the best that happened to me, I didn’t feel like a kid anymore and neither like a grown man who wore trousers. Jeans were different, they made me feel cool, like a young adult who had a driver’s licence but didn’t have to worry about buying the car himself. I could strut around in jeans all day long without a care in the world, it didn’t require to be washed daily and the material was so flexible that you could do cartwheels in it. Not that I ever did that, but one could.
Jeans, like a lot of material things in India, are an import from the West. They originated in the late 19th century in the US as an apparel for working-class men. The denim fabric used in jeans was known for its strength and resistance to wear and tear. Jeans were practical and durable, and thus were mostly used by miners. Who knew that one day they would become a fashionable item of clothing that would transcend its symbol of working-class clothing to something much more?
In my teenage years, I began to grasp the real significance of jeans in our culture. The freedom symbolised by a simple pair of jeans bore diverse meanings for different individuals. For me, it meant mobility and lessened laundry responsibilities but it signified much more to women.
When I was 13 years old, Mom and I would often go to the nearest market to indulge in her favourite activity — window shopping. That’s what being middle-class meant to us and to a certain extent still holds true for a large population of India. The middle-class aspires to buy good clothes, get fancy things but is constrained by its financial realities. During one of our strolls through the market, we saw a pair of jeans in the women’s section. The helpful salesperson asked Mom if she wanted to try it on. We looked at each other and both of us had a hint of excitement in our eyes. Mom asked me if she should try it on and I vehemently agreed.
Mom took the pair of jeans and went into the trial room. When she came out, I was shocked! I saw a traditional Indian woman wearing a Punjabi suit go into the trial room and out came a modern cosmopolitan lady. Mom had always been cosmopolitan, she was born and brought up in Delhi yet this was the first time I truly perceived her as a cosmopolitan woman. It made me realise how clothes signify a lot of our embedded biases towards people. They can change our perception of the same person.
However, mom couldn’t wear the jeans in front of her conservative in-laws. So we would actually sneak out of the house like we were committing some crime, whenever she wanted to wear jeans. The pair of jeans wasn’t revelatory in any way yet it was a big deal to wear it in the house. That’s when I realised that women needed to do a lot of cartwheels just to attain their autonomy because the society around them wasn’t as flexible as the denim fabric.
This is the story of most women in India, especially in rural areas, women wear jeans and kurtis as a way of signalling modernity and freedom. However, they face a lot of backlash for this minor act of rebellion. Comments about modesty are commonplace, and somehow in all of this, their ability to be good mothers also gets questioned. I remember two years ago when a sitting Chief Minister of a State made blasphemous comments in a similar vein about women wearing ripped jeans. It is ironic how his political career got shredded after a while. Hopefully, that would’ve sent a message to most politicians — tread lightly when it comes to jeans.
(A-Z: This series of light hearted explorations on familiar objects from everyday life dear to the urban Indian middle class looks at how they shape our wants & desires and ultimately make us who we are as a people.)

DOK ĆETE u Hrvatskoj na ulicama naići na prodavače kestena i kukuruza, u Sarajevu se na svakom koraku prodaje sok od šipka.
Sarajlije očito znaju da je riječ o voću koje je bomba vitalnosti pa su ga odlučili popularizirati i jasno je da su u tome uspjeli. U šetnji Baščaršijom zatekli smo nekoliko štandova i kioska na kojima se može kupiti sok od šipka, a domaći i turisti doslovno čekaju u redovima za dozu tog zdravog napitka koji nazivaju najljekovitijim sokom na svijetu.
Cijena soka od šipka u čaši je od 1.53 eura do 2.56 eura, ovisno o lokaciji, dok ćete za bocu soka morati izdvojiti između 2.56 i 3.58 eura.
Zašto je šipak toliko cijenjen?
Jedan prosječan šipak sadrži 72 kalorije, 1.5 grama proteina, gram masti, 16 grama ugljikohidrata i 3.5 grama vlakana. Slatke male kuglice, koje se nalaze u šipku, ne samo da sadrže vitamin C već su i bogate drugim važnim tvarima. Punična kiselina, antioksidans koji se nalazi u šipku i nekoliko drugih namirnica, mogla bi imati koristi u liječenju pretilosti, dijabetesa i metaboličkog sindroma. Prema starijoj studiji iz 2014., antioksidativni potencijal soka od šipka veći je od crnog vina.

Antioksidansi koji se nalaze u šipku mogu spriječiti i nakupljanje masnih naslaga oko arterija. Šipak također djeluje na snižavanje krvnog tlaka, a cijelo sjeme šipka sadrži pristojnu količinu vlakana koja snižavaju kolesterol.
Pola šalice zrna šipka osigurava gotovo 20 posto preporučenog dnevnog unosa vitamina K. Ovaj mikronutrijent, topiv u mastima, održava krv u stanju pravilnog zgrušavanja. Drugim riječima, kad se ozlijedite, vaše tijelo može brže zacijeliti rane.

MAČKE su znatiželjne i neodoljive kućne ljubimce, no kad je riječ o njihovoj prehrani, važno je biti pažljiv i odgovoran vlasnik. Iako mačke mogu biti izbirljive kad je hrana u pitanju, postoje namirnice koje apsolutno ne smiju konzumirati. Zašto? Otkrijmo što sve može biti opasno za naše pahuljaste prijatelje.
Čokolada
Čokolada je za mačke izuzetno opasna. Sadrži tvar teobromin koja može izazvati ozbiljne zdravstvene probleme, uključujući povraćanje, proljev, ubrzan srčani ritam, drhtanje mišića pa čak i smrt. Nikada ne dopustite mački da konzumira čokoladu ili proizvode koji je sadrže.
Luk i češnjak
Luk i češnjak sadrže tvari koje mogu oštetiti crvene krvne stanice mačke i uzrokovati anemiju. Čak i mala količina ovih namirnica može biti štetna. Stoga pazite da se ove sastojke ne nalaze u hrani koju pripremate za svojeg ljubimca.
Kofein
Kofein se nalazi u kavi, čaju, energetskim pićima i drugim napicima. Za mačke je kofein izrazito otrovan i može izazvati ozbiljne simptome kao što su ubrzan srčani ritam, drhtanje mišića i povraćanje. Čak i mali udio kofeina može biti opasan po zdravlje mačke.
Alkohol
Ovo je očito, ali važno je ponoviti – alkohol je apsolutno zabranjen za mačke. Čak i mala količina alkohola može uzrokovati ozbiljne probleme sa želucem i jetrom te dovesti do trovanja.

Koštice i sjemenke voća
Koštice i sjemenke voća poput marelica, breskvi, šljiva i jabuka sadrže cijanid, što može biti vrlo opasno za mačke. Ove tvari mogu uzrokovati ozbiljne probleme s probavom i čak dovesti do trovanja.
A što s mlijekom?
Iako se često stereotipno povezuju s mlijekom, mnoge su mačke zapravo intolerantne na laktozu. Nakon što odrastu, većina mačaka prestaje proizvoditi enzim potreban za probavu laktoze, što može rezultirati probavnim smetnjama poput proljeva. Ako želite ponuditi mački mliječni proizvod, bolje je potražiti specijalno pripravljeno mlijeko bez laktoze.
Kako bismo osigurali dug i sretan život našim mačkama, iznimno je važno znati što smiju, a što ne smiju jesti. Slijedeći ove smjernice, možemo osigurati da naši krzneni prijatelji ostanu zdravi i veseli. Osim toga, uvijek je najbolje konzultirati se s veterinarom kako biste bili sigurni da vaša mačka dobiva pravilnu prehranu i brigu koju zaslužuje.

Public sector companies or PSUs are an important resource for the Centre when it comes to fund raising but that is proving a Herculean task, especially from listed ones. By selling stake, the Centre achieves twin targets of meeting minimum public shareholding (MPS) norm for listed players and raising funds for its kitty.
According to current market regulator SEBI rule, companies have to mandatorily maintain the public shareholding of at least 25 per cent within three years of listing. Though PSUs are exempted from this now, public sector companies should voluntarily consider of meeting 25 per cent public norm, for better functioning of secondary market.
On most occasions, the Centre finds its difficult either on timing or on pricing front. Earlier, domestic institutions used to bail out the government on disinvestment and the vertical fall in the share price post the stake sale, left investors in the lurch.
Due to this conundrum, the union government not only failed to meet disinvestment targets (from listed entities) but also in achieving MPS. To facilitate MPS, the regulator, among the other frameworks, came out with offer-for-sale (OFS) mechanism to promoters. Just a day of notification is enough for promoters to announce the OFS. However, the stake sale through should be done in special window of the stock exchanges for two days (first day for institutions and the next day for retail investors).
This method has been fairly successful for many promoters, including the Centre.
LIC strategy
Amidst this background, the Centre, a few days back came out a heartening decision with respect to meeting the MPS for Life Insurance Corporation of India.
“The Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance vide Office Memorandum dated December 20, 2023 has decided in the public interest, to grant a one-time exemption to Life Insurance Corporation of India to achieve 25 per cent Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) within 10 years from the date of listing i.e., till May 2032,” LIC says via a stock exchange filing.
The change of stance is welcome as it clearly reveals that “public interest” tops the Centre’s thinking.
Though most PSUs are turning profitable and paying hefty dividends back, the Centre may rethink on disinvestment altogether. Besides, in most companies that the Centre has already achieved MPS. However, in nearly two dozen listed companies that included LIC, General Insurance, IRFC, New India Assurance, MRPL, MMTC, SJVN, Punjab & Sind Bank, Indian Overseas Bank and NLC India, the Centre holds over 75 per cent.
For that, the government can consider selling stake in small dosages in the secondary market instead of OFS that often disrupt price movement of the stock, as it always comes with at least 5 per cent discount to the prevailing market price.
Government can take a leaf out of LIC strategy, which as investor in so many companies, offload them hassle-free.
For instance, a daily selling of one lakh shares of a company will cumulatively come to 2.5 crore shares in a year (given 250 trading days). It can sell one or more stocks at the same time this way. For most of PSUs, average trading volume is quite healthy of late at the bourses.
Selling of 2.5 crore shares of LIC even at the 52-week low price of ₹530 would fetch ₹1,300 crore to the government. As the average trading volume at the bourses is currently around 50 lakh shares, selling one lakh would not be that difficult.
Way forward
However, the department can strategically decide on the quantum, besides timing (i.e. daily, weekly or monthly) in the secondary market quietly based on market condition and liquidity of the particular stock.
The department can also actively pursue “block deal” mechanism, where it can negotiate with prospective buyers and offload even bigger chunk.
Of course, there will be operational difficulties, as monitoring of price movement and market condition must be done constantly which may require a special task force.
Thinking differently while selling stake, will help all stakeholders, especially the PSU, as wild swings in stock price are not good for any company.
On ground, it may seem as though Chennai Super Kings enjoyed the maximum support in the Indian Premier League 2023 edition, yet on social media, the team with the most conversations was Royal Challengers Bangalore, followed by Mumbai Indians and CSK.
Ad tech platform iCubesWire, took a deep dive into Twitterverse to create a comprehensive sentiment analysis study on IPL 2023, monitoring conversations around the tournament. The study is based on various data points, including the total number of mentions and the breakdown of neutral, positive and negative sentiments for different categories. Some snapshots:
· Virat Kohli created the most buzz on Twitter. However, the analysis hinted at a love-hate relationship, with a considerable share of negative sentiment at 14.65 per cent.
· SuryaKumar Yadav, with 45.3 per cent positive reactions, was among the crowd’s favourites. Shubman Gill, despite having approximately 86 per cent less reach than Virat, stood out among batsmen along with Faf du Plessis, garnering positive sentiments reflecting their favourable public image.
· On the other side of the pitch, bowler Mohit Sharma became the most talked about bowler during the IPL 2023, with Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami grabbing second and third spots.
· In the captain’s corner, MS Dhoni remained the favourite captain with the highest share of positive sentiments at 38.2 per cent. Rohit Sharma stood his ground as the second favourite captain. No surprises, KL Rahul’s captaincy received the largest share of negative sentiments among the captains at 27.4 per cent.
If you have ever thought about becoming a plumber, you might be under the impression that it is a man’s job. While it’s true that trades are a male-dominated industry, it is not impossible to become a female plumber. There are a few key things to keep in mind, though. The first is that you do need to be strong to be a female plumber. You need the physical strength to handle tools and other equipment, as well as to do your work. However, plumbing manufacturers are working to make their products lighter and more ergonomic without sacrificing functionality. That means that the days of struggling with heavy and bulky plumbing tools are fading fast.
Another thing to consider is that you need the ability to problem-solve and think on your feet. This is because you might not always have the right tool or piece of equipment to get the job done. Having to solve problems with what you have on hand is a great way to exercise your mind and make you better at your job. It also helps to be able to stay calm under pressure. These are qualities that many women already have in spades.
When you look at the history of plumbing, there are many women who have crushed the stereotypes associated with the field. Lillian Ann Baumbach was the first woman in the United States to receive her Master Plumber’s license in 1951. She did so with the highest grades in her class. Her story is an inspiration to other women who are thinking about pursuing this career path.
Strong to Be a Female Plumber
The number of female plumbers is growing and that’s a good thing for the industry as a whole. According to a study by CCL, companies with higher percentages of female employees have higher customer retention rates and a more positive overall culture. This is because women bring a different energy to the workplace and they can help break down some of the gender stereotypes that are still prevalent in the industry.
When you see a woman working as a plumber, it gives you the confidence to know that you can do the same. It’s important for the plumbing industry to encourage and support more women to enter nontraditional jobs. Every time a woman joins the trades, it encourages other women to follow suit. It’s time to stop stereotyping and start seeing women in positions that have traditionally been occupied by men. That’s the best way to create a more inclusive world.
Regardless of the gender, any person who wants to pursue a plumbing career should consider these important points before they start their training. They can also visit their local vocational schools to learn more about the programs available. They can then take the necessary steps to become a professional plumber.
SEDMU godinu zaredom mediteranska prehrana osvojila je titulu najbolje prehrane časopisa U.S. News & World Report. Iza sebe je ostavila dijete DASH i MIND, dijetu klinike Mayo i fleksitarijansku prehranu.
Na dnu te ljestvice, drugu godinu zaredom, našla se prehrana sirovom hranom, što znači da je ponovno proglašena najgorim planom prehrane.
Liječnici i stručnjaci za mršavljenje dali su prehrani sirovom hranom najniže ocjene po pitanju hranjivosti, održivosti i lakoće pridržavanja. Ona uključuje voće, sirovo povrće, sirove žitarice i mahunarke, hladno prešano maslinovo ili kokosovo ulje te puno cijeđenih sokova.
Neki zagovornici ove prehrane tvrde da je sirova hrana hranjivija, ali kuhanje povrća, žitarica i drugih sastojaka zapravo može povećati našu sposobnost apsorpcije hranjivih tvari. Velika mana prehrane sirovom hranom jest to što eliminira hranu koja može biti zdrava, uključujući kruh, termički obrađeno povrće i kuhane mahunarke. Također, može biti teško dobiti sve potrebne hranjive tvari, poput proteina.

Ovaj oblik prehrane niskokaloričan je, što može dovesti do nezdravog gubitka težine koji uključuje gubitak mišićne mase ili gustoće kostiju.
Naposljetku, riječ je o prehrani koju je dugoročno teško slijediti, što je potvrdila i Venus Williams koja je ubrzo od nje odustala.
Prehrana sirovom hranom našla se na 30. mjestu ljestvice. Ispred nje su Herbalife (29. mjesto), Dukan dijeta (28. mjesto), Slimfast (27. mjesto), Atkinsonova dijeta (26. mjesto) i keto dijeta (25. mjesto).

KORISNICA TikToka Alexis Elliott na toj je platformi ispričala da je njoj i suprugu netko ponudio 200.000 dolara za njihovog ljubimca, štene dobermana.
“Rekla sam suprugu da nema šanse jer sam je ja rodila. Biste li vi prodali svog psa za 200.000 dolara? To je moja beba, to je moje dijete. Nema novca za koji bih je prodala, ali me zanima bi li ljudi uzeli toliki novac”, rekla je u videu.

Snimka je pregledana više od 1.5 milijuna puta, a u komentarima je nastala rasprava. Ljudi su se izjašnjavali bi li prodali svog ljubimca za 200.000 dolara.
“Nikako! Oni koji pristanu na prodaju ne bi ni trebali imati psa”, “U ovoj ekonomiji? Da”, “Tako brzo bih trčala i spakirala njegovu torbu”, “Nadam se da bi mu bilo lijepo u novoj obitelji”, “Ne bih psa, ali bih supruga”, “Ako je štene, onda bih, ali ako ga imam godinama, onda ne”, “Nikad, srce mi se slama od same pomisli da napustim svog psa”, komentiraju ljudi.

APPLEOV najnoviji iPhone 15 Pro ponovno se našao na meti kritika, i to nakon što je jedan korisnik na Redditu objavio da mu se novi uređaj počeo ljuštiti samo dva mjeseca od kupnje. Objavu su komentirali i drugi sa sličnim iskustvom.
“Primijetio sam da rubovi mog iPhonea imaju neku vrstu ljepila koje se ljušti duž rubova stražnje strane. Je li se netko od vas susreo s ovim? Koristio sam Rhinoshield Mod NX, ali ne vidim kako to može utjecati na stražnju stranu. Zapravo sam iznenađen da ova vrsta ljepila uopće postoji na stražnjoj strani. Čini se kao da je cijela stražnja strana naljepnica koja će se odlijepiti”, napisao je mr_rakue na Redditu.
Greška u proizvodnji?
Tema je privukla pažnju drugih vlasnika iPhonea 15. Neki su podijelili slično iskustvo i istaknuli da im je rečeno da se radi o grešci u proizvodnji nakon što su odnijeli telefon s istim problemom u Apple Store.
“Isto se dogodilo i mom iPhoneu 15 Pro starom dva dana. Vratio sam ga u Apple i rekli su da ljepilo koje se koristi za pričvršćivanje stražnje strane nije pravilno naneseno i počelo se ljuštiti jer je virilo iz ruba. Zamijenili su mi uređaj”, napisao je jedan korisnik.
“Brate, ima toliko problema s iPhone 15 Pro linijom da sam iznenađen što još uvijek nema povlačenja”, dodao je drugi korisnik.
“Uklonite omot i dobit ćete 14 Pro”, našalio se treći.

“Apple nas u ovom trenutku samo trola jer zna da su mu kupci lojalni. Svi su proizvodi slični, sve je jeftino, nema više inovacija. Zaista je tužno vidjeti to od tvrtke koja je svoje ime izgradila na ‘drugačijem razmišljanju'”, dodala je jedna osoba.
“Zanimljivo, primjećujem ogrebotine na svom okviru od titana s prednje strane (gdje je zaslon), a nikada nisam položio svoj telefon sa zaslonom prema dolje, što znači da je ogreban u mom džepu… budući da je jedini predmet u mom džepu. Ove godine je trajnost loša”, napisao je jedan korisnik.
“Imao sam potpuno isti problem na svom, to je način na koji je staklo zalijepljeno u tvornici, prema onome što su mi rekli. Ponudili su zamjenu ili povrat novca. Uzeo sam ovo potonje. Čini se da je moj OG 11 Pro Max puno bolje kvalitete, ne znam što se događa s Appleom. Taj ‘titanium’ marketing će ostarjeti kao mlijeko”, zaključila je jedna osoba.
iPhone 15 Pro imao je problema s pregrijavanjem, prebrzim pražnjenjem baterije…
Podsjećamo, nedugo nakon lansiranja pojedini su korisnici izjavili da su imali problem s pregrijavanjem iPhonea 15 Pro, zatim su se kasnije neki žalili da se baterija prebrzo prazni. Neki od drugih problema koje su korisnici istaknuli bili su smrzavanje tijekom postavljanja, spor iOS i slabija izdržljivost u odnosu na prethodni model.
Nedugo nakon kritika Apple je izdao novi iOS da bi riješio neke poteškoće, poput pregrijavanja. No osim problema s kojima su se korisnici susretali s ovom linijom, iPhone 15 Pro najlošije je i ocijenjen Appleov Pro model do sada.
Stranica za recenzije PerfectRec analizirala je 690.000 recenzija koje su ostavili korisnici i otkrila da su prve potrošačke recenzije gore od prošlogodišnje linije iPhonea 14. Studija je otkrila da je 73 posto korisnika iPhone 15 Pro ocijenilo s pet zvjezdica, što je pad s obzirom na prijašnje modele.

Dodge revived the Charger name in 2006 for use on a large sedan, and while it certainly got more power and performance over the years, it still never recaptured the magic of the original coupe. Exomod changed that with its cars, which feature a Dodge Challenger Hellcat base with a full-carbon 1968 Dodge Charger widebody. The company’s latest creation, “Goldfinger,” is a black and gold car sporting 807 horsepower and a hand-built exterior.
Exomod starts with a 2022 Challenger Hellcat Redeye and says that its work does not void the OEM five-year/60,000-mile warranty. The conversion involves more than 1,500 hours and involves stripping the original car down to its safety cage before the new body can be applied.
Beyond the striking widebody look, the company installs exposed carbon on the chin spoiler, door jambs, rockers, rear diffuser, and under the hood. Other cosmetics include sequential LED taillights, 20-inch Forgeline wheels, and a mahogany leather interior.
The standard Hellcat Redeye sports 797 horsepower from the factory, but Exomod’s not-really-a-restomod boosts output to 807 ponies. It gets an eight-speed automatic transmission, a 3.09 anti-spin rear differential, an SRT Power Chiller, SRT Competition Suspension, a custom exhaust, and Brembo brakes.
Of course, a 1,500-hour build in hand-shaped carbon fiber is going to be just slightly more expensive than the base car. While the standard Redeye starts in the low $80,000 range, Exomod’s car checks in at more than four times that amount: $349,000. Having said that, the Challenger and Charger were discontinued at the end of 2023, so prices of the standard cars could start climbing as people pine for that sweet, sweet, supercharged V8 sound.
Besides, some are paying deep into the six-figure range for the “Last Call” special edition Challenger Demon 170, and despite its cool upgrades, it looks just like an average Demon. Why not go all out and mortgage your house for something really unique?
India has toppled Taiwan to take the second place in the MSCI EM Index, with a weightage of 17.1 per cent. The country’s representation in the index is poised to top 20 per cent in the coming months, according to analysts, which could give a further fillip to overseas flows and cement the country’s place as an attractive investment destination among emerging markets.
India’s weightage in the MSCI EM index stood at 13 per cent in the beginning of last year, behind Taiwan (14.4 per cent) and China (33.5 per cent). The weightage had remained steady at around 8 per cent from 2015 to October 2020, implying a doubling in the last three years.
“The robust performance by Indian equities, particularly in the mid-cap segment, has led to numerous inclusions in every review. India’s move to a standardised Foreign Ownership Limit in 2020 and the relative underperformance by other EMs, especially China, has also helped India’s cause,” said Abhilash Pagaria, head of Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research.
FPI, EM portfolios
Foreign portfolio investors pumped in a record $20.7 billion into Indian equities last year. Part of the higher flows are an outcome of India’s rising weightage in EMs; with its neutral weight in benchmark MSCI EM seeing a 3.5 percentage points increase over the past six quarters, according to analysts. The Nifty returned 20 per cent last year, outperforming MSCI EM by 11 percentage points in dollar terms.
“The sectoral limit available to FPIs across sectors has increased over the years. Companies have been passing resolutions to raise FPI limits. A lot of new issuances and divestment by promoters has increased the free float of Indian companies, all of which may have contributed to the increase in its weighting,” said UR Bhat, director, Alphaniti Fintech.
India’s relative positioning in EM portfolios still remains light. Jefferies’ analysis of large EM active funds, for instance, indicates that India’s relative positions are much closer to neutral now as opposed to an average overweight of more than 2 percentage points. As such, the headroom for FPIs to take a larger overweight position on Indian equities could become an important driver for flows.
“Rising size is making Indian markets much more relevant for global mandated funds. Structural positives such as the expected political stability, rising investment cycle providing multi-year growth visibility and peaking dollar present ideal conditions for higher foreign flows,” said a note by Jefferies.
A recent white paper by Client Associates, a private wealth management firm, says that India merits significantly higher representation in both the MSCI EM and MSCI ACWI indices, given the country’s growing economic importance, attractive risk-adjusted returns and diversification benefits for investors.
A lower free float and market accessibility are the two chief reasons for the current under-representation. “Promoters’ significant equity holdings in larger companies limit foreign ownership and reduce accessibility for passive investors. Despite ongoing policy efforts like increased FDI limits and a unified FPI regime, India continues to score low on accessibility criteria within the MSCI framework,” the wealth manager observed.
IPL’s last fortnight saw some exciting brand collabs with franchises as the action hotted up on and off-field.

VJEROJATNO ste barem jednom u životu drhtali od hladnoće kada ste imali groznicu i vrućicu. Što god učinili, s koliko god prekrivača se pokrili i čajeva popili, nikako vam nije bilo manje hladno.
No to je zapravo dobar znak da se tijelo bori protiv infekcije, piše portal Everyday Health. Dodaju da će većina virusa i bakterija teško preživjeti kada je temperatura tijela veća od normalne. Povećanje od svega jednog ili dva stupnja može zaustaviti mnoge štetne mikroorganizme u napadu na imunološki sustav.

Kada je riječ o osjećaju jake hladnoće za vrijeme vrućice, specijalist primarne zdravstvene zaštite Nate Favini ističe da se radi o normalnom fiziološkom odgovoru. Objašnjava da čim mozak prebaci unutarnji “termostat” na višu temperaturu kako bi se borio protiv infekcije, ostatak tijela će generirati toplinu kako bi postigao tu višu temperaturu.
U tom trenutku smo ispod svoje nove idealne tjelesne temperature pa nam je hladno, zbog čega ćemo drhtati i tresti će nam se tijelo, prenosi Everyday Health.
Favini još dodaje da “dok tijelo generira toplinu kako bi postiglo veću temperaturu, mišići će kontrahirati”.

MALENI slon odvojio se od svoje majke u parku Tamil Nadu u Indiji, a krdo slonova nastavilo je dalje bez njega, piše The Guardian. Izgubljeni slonić lutao je područjem tražeći svoju majku, no srećom, primijetili su ga ljudi.
Procijenili su da je slonić star između četiri i pet mjeseci, a pošto još uvijek mora biti sa svojom majkom, krenuli su pomoću dronova u potragu za krdom u blizini, koje je prešlo već četiri kilometra. Prije nego što su vratili slonića krdu okupali su ga i po njemu razmazali blato, kako njegova majka ne bi osjetila ljudski mirisi na njemu i odbacila ga.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Nekoliko dana kasnije dron je snimio prizor koji topi srca. Slonić i mama mirno su spavali jedno uz drugo, baš kako i treba biti.
Neobičan potez krda
Inače, u slučaju nestanka mladunca slonovi idu dalje, ali ostave manje grupice koje ga traže, no u ovom su slučaju učinili su neobičan potez i svi otišli dalje.
“Nekad se događaju i takve situacije i to uglavnom u područjima u kojima postoji sukob između ljudi i životinja. Tada one odlaze zbog svoje sigurnosti. Glavna ženka mora birati između dobrobiti krda i jednog slona, pa donosi tešku odluka”, objasnio je Kartick Satyanarayan, voditelj organizacije Wildlife SOS.

AKO imate dojam da se borite s grubim i suhim pramenovima, razumijemo vas. Poznato je da zimski uvjeti dodatno pogoršavaju ovaj problem zbog nedostatka vlage u zraku. Srećom, postoji način da hidratizirate kosu dok spavate. Noćna hidratantna maska za kosu iz linije Dream Routine popularnog brenda za njegu kose Amika predstavlja jedan od onih kozmetičkih proizvoda koje možete nanijeti i potpuno zaboraviti. Ova Amikina maska za kosu ima formulu bez ispiranja koja djeluje tijekom noći dok mirno spavate.
Alge, fermentirana kokosova voda i poliglutaminska kiselina surađuju s hijaluronskom kiselinom kako bi privukli vlagu, pružili hidrataciju i zadržali je. Osim toga, djeluje na smanjenje lomljenja, pa ako se suočavate s problemom dosadnih ispucalih vrhova, ovo je rješenje za vas. Dodatno, veganski je proizvod, ne sadrži silikone i boje.
Ova korisna maska može se nanositi na suhu ili vlažnu kosu, što znači da nije potrebno mijenjati raspored pranja kako biste je koristili. Jednostavno pročešljajte jednu do četiri pumpice proizvoda prije spavanja (ovisno o duljini, debljini i teksturi kose) od sredine pramena do kraja i sve je spremno.

Formula Amike sadrži hijaluronsku kiselinu koja privlači vlagu, ali neće ostaviti kosu masnom.
“Ovo je potpuno transformiralo moju kosu”
Kupci na Amazonu izrazito su impresionirani ovom maskom. Jedan oduševljeni kupac nazvao je ovu masku “životnom promjenom” i izjavio: “Ovo je potpuno transformiralo moju kosu. U ovoj bočici je čarolija. Moja kosa je sada puno sjajnija i zdravija nego ikad prije. Hidratizirana je toliko dobro. Ne mogu dovoljno opisati koliko volim ovaj proizvod. Jednostavno ga kupite, nećete požaliti.”
“Čudesna je”, izjavila je još jedna zadovoljna mušterija. “Ova noćna maska definitivno je ispunila moja očekivanja. Operem kosu navečer i nanesem ovo preko noći, fokusirajući se na vrhove kose. Ujutro mi je kosa mekana, izuzetno hidratizirana i sjajna. Sada koristim drugu bočicu i nastavit ću s kupnjom.”

CES, a yearly gathering, showcases cutting-edge technologies and innovations from prominent creators in the consumer electronics industry. Over the past few years, this once itinerant event has found a stable home in Las Vegas, reported ZDNET.
This year, the 2024 edition of CES is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, spanning across venues such as the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Venetian Expo, and the Aria Resort & Casino. The official dates for CES 2024 are from Tuesday, January 9, to Friday, January 12. Additionally, two in-person Media Days, exclusively accessible to press members, are slated for January 7 and 8.
As per the publication, CES 2024 will include the participation of semiconductor giants such as Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, as well as leading companies in the mobile and home electronics sector like Samsung, Google, LG, and Amazon. PC manufacturers like Asus and HP are also expected to showcase their innovations, alongside the presence of several automotive companies such as BMW.
It is important to highlight that CES is not accessible to the general public. According to the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), CES is specifically designated as a “trade-only event,” restricted to individuals aged 18 or older who are affiliated with the consumer technology industry.
Anticipation is building for CES 2024, where numerous companies are poised to showcase their advancements in AI. Let us delve into the forthcoming AI revelations we can expect.
Samsung
On December 27, in a notable announcement, Samsung disclosed its plan to debut the Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub at CES 2024. This innovative appliance is equipped with AI-driven cameras inside the fridge, enabling it to assess available ingredients and suggest personalized recipes accordingly. Samsung asserts that it can recognize up to 33 distinct fresh food items using a predefined dataset derived from around one million food photographs. Additionally, the refrigerator can actively monitor the water filter status and issue alerts when a replacement is necessary.
LG Smart Home AI
As per a report from Interesting Engineering, LG is set to feature its AI agent as the centerpiece of LG’s Smart Home at the upcoming CES. This two-legged robot serves as an interactive assistant, boasting both voice and visual interfaces for user interaction. Beyond conversation capabilities, it adeptly manages a range of smart home appliances and IoT devices.
Notably, the robot also monitors environmental conditions in real-time, such as temperature and air quality. Envisioned as a robotic companion, it can navigate spaces, take charge of smart home functions, and even serve as a security guard for the household.
LG AI TV
According to a report from Tom’s Guide, LG is rumored to introduce a 98-inch QNED TV featuring AI-driven picture enhancements at CES 2024. The TV is said to be powered by an A8 AI processor, enabling it to employ deep learning for faces, objects, and backgrounds within a scene, resulting in heightened texture and finer details. LG claims that the TV will offer an improved visual experience through precise HDR optimization, delivering three-dimensional picture quality.
Nvidia
In a recent blog post, Nvidia disclosed its plans to showcase AI advancements at CES 2024, with a standout revelation being a generative AI.

SVI SMO barem jednom posjetili Google i u tražilicu upisali simptome koje osjećamo, kako bismo pokušali doznati što nas muči ili kako se izliječiti. Ove godine najviše nas je zanimala upala grla, kako smanjiti kolesterol i što pomaže kod nadutosti.
Naime, to su samo neka od najpopularnijih pitanja vezanih uz zdravlje koja su se pretraživala na Googleu u SAD-u od 1. siječnja do 27. studenog 2023.
Evo deset najpopularnijih zdravstvenih pitanja koja su ljudi guglali prošle godine.
1. Koliko dugo je zarazna streptokokna upala grla?
Početkom prošle godine uočen je trend porasta streptokoknih bolesti u cijelom svijetu, pa tako i u Hrvatskoj. Ljudi koji streptokoknu upalu grla liječe antibioticima u pravilu nisu zarazni nakon tri dana, prema Johns Hopkins Medicine. Simptomi streptokokne upale grla mogu uključivati groznicu, bol pri gutanju, crvene i natečene krajnike te natečene limfne čvorove.
2. Koliko je zarazna streptokokna upala grla?
Zaražena osoba može prenositi bakteriju na druge kapljičnim putem, odnosno tijekom razgovora, kašljanja, kihanja ili izravnim kontaktom. Obično je potrebno dva do pet dana da netko tko je bio izložen streptokoku razvije simptome.
3. Kako sniziti kolesterol?
Sve veći broj istraživanja sugerira da konzumacija biljne, vegetarijanske ili veganske prehrane može pomoći u snižavanju razine kolesterola.
Ako želite sniziti kolesterol, smanjite unos dodanih šećera, izbjegavajte transmasne kiseline, zamijenite zasićene masti zdravima, jedite više topivih vlakana i redovito vježbajte.
4. Kako ublažiti nadutost?
Najčešći krivci za nadutost su zatvor, sindrom iritabilnog crijeva, intolerancija na laktozu, prejedanje, pa čak i određeni lijekovi. Ako se borite s nadutošću, izbjegavajte žvakaće gume i gazirana pića, ali i hranu koja može proizvesti plinove, poput prokulica, kupusa, graha i leće. Nepušenje i sporije žvakanje također mogu pomoći.
Obratite se liječniku ako uz nadutost imate bolove u trbuhu, krv u stolici, proljev, pogoršanje žgaravice, povraćanje ili gubitak težine.

5. Što uzrokuje nizak krvni tlak?
Kada krvni tlak padne prenisko, na manje od 90/60 mm Hg, govorimo o hipotenziji. Prema American Heart Association, nizak krvni tlak mogu uzrokovati dugotrajno ležanje u krevetu, depresija, Parkinsonova bolest ili trudnoća.
Kronično nizak krvni tlak može dovesti do simptoma kao što su vrtoglavica ili ošamućenost, mučnina, nesvjestica, umor, glavobolja, zamagljen vid i lupanje srca.
6. Što uzrokuje bradavice?
Bradavice na koži najčešće uzrokuje humani papiloma virus ili HPV, skupina od više od 150 virusa, a može se širiti na različite načine. Većina oblika virusa širi se kontaktom kože na kožu ili zajedničkim predmetima, kao što su ručnici ili krpe, prema Klinici Mayo. Virus se obično širi kroz pukotine na koži, a iako se bradavice najčešće pojavljuje na rukama, mogu zahvatiti i stopala, lice, genitalije i koljena.
7. Zašto osjećam mučninu?
Mučnina je nuspojava trudnoće ili želučane viroze, a ponekad i poremećaja povezanih s probavnim sustavom, kao što su gastroezofagealna refluksna bolest ili peptički ulkus. Neki ljudi mogu imati povećan rizik od mučnine zbog određenih lijekova koje uzimaju.
8. Što uzrokuje preeklampsiju?
Preeklampsija je stanje koje uzrokuje visoki krvni tlak nakon 20. tjedna trudnoće ili nakon poroda. Točni uzroci preeklampsije su nepoznati. Žene mogu biti izložene većem riziku od preeklampsije ako su imale preeklampsiju u prethodnoj trudnoći, ako je riječ o višeplodnoj trudnoći ili ako već imaju visoki krvni tlak, dijabetes, bolest bubrega ili autoimunu bolest poput lupusa ili antifosfolipidnog sindroma.
9. Kako prestati hrkati?
Promjene poput gubitka težine, izbjegavanja alkohola prije spavanja, liječenja začepljenosti nosa, osiguravanja dovoljno sna i izbjegavanja spavanja na leđima mogu pomoći u liječenju hrkanja, prema Klinici Mayo. Hrkanje može biti znak apneje u snu, stanja koje uzrokuje da ljudi prestanu disati tijekom spavanja.
10. Koliko dugo traje trovanje hranom?
Trovanje hranom može trajati dan-dva ili deset i više dana, ovisno o uzroku, prema Klinici Cleveland. Trovanje hranom uzrokovano je konzumiranjem određenih bakterija, poput salmonele ili E. coli. Simptomi mogu varirati od blagih do ozbiljnih. Najčešći simptomi trovanja hranom su proljev, bolovi u trbuhu, mučnina i vrućica, piše CNN.

NOVI iPhone 15 donosi jednu zanimljivu značajku čiji je cilj pomoći vam da produžite životni vijek baterije. U pitanju je opcija uz pomoć koje možete ograničiti punjenje baterije na 80% njezinog kapaciteta. U pitanju je opcija Charging Optimization koja se u postavkama nalazi pod Battery Health & Charging.
Korisno za bateriju
Apple je koncept optimizacije punjenja uveo s iOS-om 13. Uređaj prati vaše dnevne navike punjenja s ciljem smanjenja trošenja vaše baterije te poboljšanja njezinog vijeka trajanja tako da smanji vrijeme koje iPhone provodi u potpunosti napunjen, piše Macworld.
Kad je mogućnost optimizacije punjenja uključena, povremeno će ograničiti punjenje na 80% u svrhu održavanja zdravlja vaše baterije. Uređaj će to činiti kad procijeni da vam nije potrebno potpuno punjenje.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
>> Ako radite ove greške, smanjujete vijek baterije svojeg Androida
Na iPhoneu 15 ovu opciju možete koristiti uvijek, ne samo povremeno. Vaš će se uređaj, dakle, prestati puniti svaki put kad dosegne 80% kapaciteta.
Ako često punite mobitel, naročito do 100%, imajte na umu da to nije dobro za vašu bateriju. Manji postotak znači manje potpunih ciklusa punjenja, što dovodi do produljenja vijeka trajanja. Manji postotak napunjenosti također znači da će vaša baterija manje vjerojatno dostići visoku temperaturu.

After underperforming its listed peers on pre-sales growth over FY21-23, we believe Sobha is set to outperform in terms of growth given its focus on unlocking its vast land reserve and exploring external growth opportunities through its healthy balance sheet.
The outperformance is also expected to be driven by improvements in profitability. Further, visibility in the monetisation of some of its large land parcels in Bengaluru will lead to a re-rating in its implied land valuation.
We factor in higher launches over FY24-26E and hence revise our pre-sales estimates by 4/12 per cent for FY24/FY25. We also introduce FY26 estimates.
We believe that as the company unlocks its vast land reserves and explores growth opportunities beyond its existing land bank, it will provide further growth visibility. Project launches on its large land parcels in Bengaluru and Tamil Nadu will drive re-rating for its existing land valuation.
Its focus on sustainable growth (revenue growth, healthy profitability, and steady cash flows) will put the company on a long-term growth path.
Key risks include slowdown in residential absorption, delay in monetisation of large land parcels, and inability to sign BD deals.
It’s always the women who gift the inspirations. For Raj Kapoor it was the woman in white who would flit in and out of his mind and movies; for Christian Dior it was an aunt who imagined herself a princess as she wafted down the staircase in skirts billowing from under-fitted bodices. For Sabyasachi, it was his grandmothers, women of extremely opposite tastes and temperament. And then there was his mother, quite another person, altogether. And others.
In the opulent palace of a store in Mumbai that he has chosen as his flagship, small brass plaques nestle quietly, whispering these stories from the designer’s life. They add to the mystique he carries around him; a person accessible and yet impossible to reach, a smiling boy who won’t grow up and yet, a hard-nosed businessman who has turned his creations into a national craving.
From Two worlds
So, we meet here his two grandmothers. One a minimalist, the other a ‘maximalist.’ The former in austere white muslin saris… the saris we meet again, carrying his label, woven by humble weavers whom he adopts as his own. The latter, exuberant, well-travelled, rich in material wealth, and always accessorised with a ‘khadi batua lined with a pomegranate pink velvet’ from which emerged coins to treat him to ‘ice-lollies, turmeric laced popcorn’ and matinee movie shows. The khadi and the velvet memories of a ‘magic bag’ long gone, recast themselves in myriad ways, all uniquely his own, emerging as it does from memories refracted by time.
Mining the past to bring in a richer present becomes a Sabyasachi signature, as native to his roots as the tiger he has adopted as his symbol. Which incidentally, as a plaque states, he saw first as a tiger head with ruby eyes encrusted on a cane, carried by a sedate, simply- dressed distinguished gentleman sitting by himself through the flurry of a Bengali wedding.
And caught between these two women, the image of his mother, in a ‘turquoise blue Benarasi sari with gold motifs and coral silk thread accents, and a flirtatious baby pink fall.’ A sari hated by his grandmother, possibly the asture one, but which wrapped itself around the son’s mind, as he watched his mother wearing it, her favourite, till it went threadbare. The colour palate of bright contrasts would streak across his early creations, waking up a ‘matching-sari-to-blouse’ world.
Combined with her bobbed hair, an oversized scarlet bindi, delicious gold chandbalis and a turquoise sleeveless blouse’, he loved the scandalous-for-its-time look his mother assayed.
Well, a sleeveless blouse held no scandal in the late 1990s, but dark skinned models, women with sad faces in bridal wear, and bespectacled women carrying studious looks along with their books… could be the chosen attention grabber. And the chandbalis, in his hands, encrusted, dipping into permutations of shapes, joined his jewellery line!
Another story to hang inspiration: the neighbourhood girl who wore straight cut jeans and tucked-in shirts, and read Ayn Rand and Harper Lee. Her ‘more fascinating’ mother ‘wearing white saris with black blouses and men’s shoes, kajal’ who kept her salt-and-pepper waist length hair flowing down to her waist. The music she surrounded her visitor with was by Ella Fitagerald and scented with the paper from the books that lined the walls of her room.
Checkout Sabyasachi’s New York store, and scratch the surface of the collections. And it’s there, in his clothes, and in the design of his stores.
Calcutta: Streets lit by lamplight, camphor smoke mingling with mustard oil fumes; music and dance lessons, or the litany of maths tables floating out of windows; the sky turning a ‘dull rose pink’. It’s a fast disappearing ethos, but he holds it captive, in the ambience he creates in his stores, the clocks on the walls forcing you to travel back in time, the books and the furniture forcing memories to the fore.
Sabyasachi New Flagship Store in Mumbai Photography : Björn Wallander
Birth of the business man
Sabyasachi was, as his plaque reads, eight years old when he designed the look for a school play, crafting wigs out of jute, sourcing clothes from local dresswallas, shiny costumes that burst out of tin trunks as the actors leapt to plunder. He admits to stealing a ‘mid-length, bias-cut, white satin slip’ from his mother’s cupboard, because he’d desperately wanted Snow White to wear it.’ ‘Plaid shirts became aprons, socks became gloves,’ and the next morning the writer-designer-schoolboy ‘was a star.’ Sabyasachi the designer would continue to craft new out of old, adapt and modify, mingling nostalgia with adventure.
And not much later, the birth of the ‘businessman’ he claims he really is, giving the designer in him second place.
At nineteen, creating jewellery inspired by rock and roll, using beads and shells and shiny bric-a-brac he had found in an art shop, adding the ‘flavours of Bengal, gothic colours, chains, distressed mirrors, feathers’ and ‘carrying them in plastic boxes’ to sell. No one paid attention, except an old shop keeper who bought them on consignment. And the self-made jewellery designer struck gold when a lady, enchanted by their subversive charm, paid ₹45 and bought the whole lot.
Reinvestment followed. Bringing in ₹12,000 a month. And the route was obvious. Reject rejection, follow your dream and combine business with art, craft and soul — the Sabyasachi formula.
So carping trolls, and adulating clients matter little. As the Sabyasachi juggernaut rolls on, across continents, carrying nostalgia as its USP.

SEDMU godinu zaredom mediteranska prehrana osvojila je titulu najbolje prehrane časopisa U.S. News & World Report. Iza sebe je ostavila dijete DASH i MIND, dijetu klinike Mayo i fleksitarijansku prehranu.
Mediteransku prehranu odobrava Američko udruženje za srce zbog njezinih kardiovaskularnih dobrobiti. Pokazalo se i da smanjuje rizik od nepovoljnih ishoda trudnoće, kao što su preeklampsija, gestacijski dijabetes, prijevremeni porod i mrtvorođenče, prema jednoj studiji.

Mediteranska prehrana naglašava važnost unosa voća, povrća, cjelovitih žitarica, graha, orašastih plodova, mahunarki, maslinovog ulja i aromatičnog bilja te začina. Riba i plodovi mora konzumiraju se najmanje dva puta tjedno, a perad, jaja, sir i jogurt u umjerenim količinama, prema U.S. News & World Reportu.
“Svaki plan koji izbacuje cijelu grupu namirnica nije dobar, i to je razlog zašto je mediteranska prehrana uvijek pobjednik”, izjavila je Gretel Schueller, glavna urednica U.S. News & World Reporta.
Mediteranska prehrana je zdrava, održiva, ukusna i prilagodljiva. Ako je želite početi slijediti, ovdje je sve što trebate znati.

Graphic Design Firms Should Hire In-House Designers
Bringing design work in-house can save your business money in the long run. In-house designers are salaried, so you don’t have to pay a project-by-project fee. Additionally, hiring a designer that aligns with your company culture can reduce turnover that would come with bringing on new freelancers or agencies.
Hiring an in-house graphic designer can also improve collaboration and teamwork within your company. When an employee is working directly with your company, they’re able to quickly communicate and implement feedback on a project, and can avoid the back-and-forth that can cause frustration amongst teams that hire freelancers or agencies to work on projects.
In-house designers can also become invested in the company’s branding and goals. This can help them better understand your audience and create designs that resonate with your customers. While Graphic Design Firm will develop a similar understanding of your brand and goals, the process can take more time than if an in-house designer is familiar with your company’s processes and branding.
Why Graphic Design Firms Should Hire In-House Designers
One of the main reasons companies hire graphic design firms is because they offer a wide range of skills and expertise. Agencies often have teams of designers with different strengths and specialties, which enables them to tackle any design project that comes their way. They may also have access to additional industry professionals, such as printers, photographers, or illustrators, that individual graphic designers might not.
A good graphic design firm will also be familiar with the most common software used in the field, such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. If you’re interviewing candidates, ask them about their experience with these programs. Also, be sure to specify which software you’re looking for in your job description so that you don’t receive applications from people who do not have the necessary skills.
As you look at graphic design portfolios, pay attention to the details of each design. Look at how well the fonts are chosen, the color palettes, and the visual hierarchy of each piece. This can give you a sense of the candidate’s attention to detail and ability to create clean, polished designs.
In addition, consider how the designer presents their design process. Ask them to walk you through the steps they go through when designing a logo, a website layout, or anything else. You’ll want to know if they follow an established, consistent workflow or whether their process is more experimental and iterative. Listen for information about how they research their designs, sketch their ideas, and perform revisions.
When you interview graphic designers, ask about the types of projects they enjoy the most and those that they find challenging. If they have a passion for certain styles, industries, or types of clients, you’ll likely see it reflected in their portfolios. For example, if you’re looking for a creative designer to work on branding and campaigns for a health care organization, look for a portfolio that includes previous projects for hospitals, medical practices, and other healthcare-related businesses.

Colombo [Sri Lanka], January 4: The Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) newly-appointed Chairman of Selectors Upul Tharanga on Thursday announced batter Dhananjaya de Silva as the new captain of the Test team. The immediate concern is to fix the top-order concerns and poor fielding that contributed to SL’s poor performance in the recent ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, in which they placed at ninth with just two wins in nine matches, reported Sri Lanka Cricket. Walter Chawaguta Named As Zimbabwe Men’s Interim Coach for White-Ball Tour of Sri Lanka.
Also, batter Kusal Mendis (ODIs) and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga (T20Is) are being looked at as captains in white-ball cricket. “The new Chairman of Selectors, Upul Tharanga while announcing that Dhananjaya de Silva had been appointed as the new captain of the Sri Lanka Test Cricket Team, and that much as the option would have been for one captain for all three formats that there was no other choice than to go forthree separate captains in Kusal Mendis for ODIs and Wanindu Hasaranga (for T20Is) because there was no suitable automatic choice, observed that his selection committee’s immediate concern was to fix the inconsistency bugging the top order batting as well as poor fielding that had led to the country’s recent world cup debacle. However, he said that Hasaranga had been earmarked as a long-term choice,” said a statement from SLC.
Dhananjaya replaces Dimuth Karunaratne, who led SL in 30 Tests, winning 12, losing 12 and six draws. He led SL to a series win in South Africa back in 2019, becoming the first-ever Asian side to do so. During his stint as a captain, Karunaratne also reached to the top of the ICC Test Batting Rankings.
Tharanga said that currently, his selection team was also leasing with the High-Performance Center to fix the shortcomings. “We came apart at the World Cup due to the bugging inconsistency in the batting where mainly the top four who are the nucleus failed to click. If a batsman scored in one game his failure thereafter was a major setback and we aim to arrest that major drawback. All these players are not short of talent, but there is an obvious shortcoming where consistency is concerned and we have already spoken with the coaches concerned regarding sorting out this problem,” said Tharanga.
“The fielding too was found wanting with a lot of dropped chances where mainly half chances went a begging which at that level of the game have to be taken in keeping with the adage ‘catches win matches,” opined Upul Tharanga, the former Sri Lanka opening batsman addressing the media at the Sri Lanka Cricket headquarters.
He was of course, pleased with the overall bowling performances of the team saying that the bowlers had played their part. He said that a selection benchmark would be in place for selections with emphasis on the National Super League where promising players would be identified and given due recognition for national duty.
Fielding questions as to team discipline and the recent misbehaviour of ODI captain, Kusal Mendis, the chief selector said that his committee was addressing that area seriously, and that so far the report from the SSC committee on the matter had not reached the SLC for them to look at it.
The question of Mendis’ inconsistent batting performances at the World Cup was another key subject with Tharanga contending that they had opted for Mendis as the ODI captain considering that he was suddenly thrown into the job after regular captain Dasun Shanaka’s injury.

“We took into account that therefore, Mendis needed a fair chance to settle down to the job,” he contended. Meanwhile, selector Indika de Saram made the point that regular players particularly the batters would be pressurized to perform by looking at promising prospects who were knocking on the door for recognition.

Making a statement appears to come naturally to Pakistani-American filmmaker Iram Parveen Bilal. Sporting images of four of Pakistan’s late women icons at the back of her gown (former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, human rights lawyer, and social activist Asma Jahangir, social activist Perween Rahman and popular social media star and women’s rights activist Qandeel Baloch), Iram was the cynosure of all eyes at the world premiere of her new feature film Wakhri (One of a Kind) at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah. It was as though the four ladies had Iram’s back.
One of the young, new-wave Pakistani filmmakers, Iram has been challenging orthodoxy, patriarchy, and gender-based discrimination through her films (Josh: Independence Through Unity was screened at the 14th Mumbai Film Festival, I’ll Meet You There was at SXSW festival but banned on its release in Pakistan) as well as on-ground activism. She also initiated Qalambaaz, a platform that provides mentorship to screenplay writers.
Wakhri is inspired by the life of 26-year-old Baloch, often described as the Kim Kardashian of Pakistan. She was murdered by her brother in 2016 for bringing disrepute to the family because of her “bold ways” that went against the “societal norms”. However, Iram’s protagonist, school teacher, and single mother Noor Malik (Faryal Mehmood), while confronting the severe challenges of becoming a viral sensation, doesn’t have to face as baleful an end as Baloch for her alter-ego and secret identity—Wakhri—getting revealed to the world. Gulshan Majeed plays her queer best friend and ally Gucchi.
A big fan of Shah Rukh Khan, Iram has in turn ingeniously inspired Bollywood. Sriram Raghavan decided to call his protagonist in Agent Vinod, played by Kareena Kapoor, by her name. Iram spoke to CE in Jeddah. Excerpts from an expansive interview on the eve of the release of Wakhri on January 5.
What did Qandeel Baloch mean to you and women in Pakistan? I envied Qandeel’s guts. I was in awe of her courage. One may or may not have agreed with her message or opinions, but one couldn’t deny her unapologetic chutzpah. She openly challenged the forces you don’t challenge in Pakistan and caught everyone’s attention. I think that is why her killing felt so personal. It felt like it was a signal to brave women everywhere to shut up, to be silent. In taking her down, they took a piece of us down too. I think that’s part of what made her a feminist icon. Sadly though, this also reflects what patriarchy does to pit women against other women, because I feel she became a bigger icon for women in her death than in her life. When she was alive, I witnessed a lot of women hating on her.
How did her persona tie up with what you like to communicate through your films? I love showcasing characters who ask “Why not” and who challenge the boxes, rules, and labels. Qandeel’s spirit was the perfect segue into showcasing not just a brave, marginalized group of characters but also the collective monster that we have created through social media, draining empathy and empowering mass rage with every faceless click and comment.
Did the Wakhri idea strike you at the time of her death? What was the approach you decided to take in fictionalizing the character? The screenplay of Wakhri was a slow evolution. I write at least 15-20 drafts of my scripts, if not more. I couldn’t stop thinking of Qandeel after she was killed, and I had just learned about her two weeks before her death. I started to unpack why I was so troubled by it and knew that I had to make something in reaction. It was very clear right off the bat that I didn’t want to make a film that was about her life as I wasn’t interested in glorifying an honour killing on the big screen. (And might I add, I think we lost a lot of potential Western financing and European grants because of that decision.) Also, I wanted to fictionalize the character while still taking huge inspiration from who she was, so that we could tackle more than just her story. Wakhri is about so much more, and it highlights themes beyond that single story. It is an opportunity to give an even bigger tribute to Qandeel by elevating the story to important themes and topics.
The new Pakistani cinema is getting pushed by people like you who have one foot at home and one in the West… I do agree that the quality of Pakistani cinema is being affected positively by global training and access to craft and content. It is also getting affected by the world cinema infrastructure taking more interest in the region. From grants, and festivals to streamers, there’s heightened intrigue in the stories from this region, like never before.
There’s also the impact of the democratization of cinema owing to technology, private equity financing structures, and distribution, which gives middle-class talent access to the dream of being filmmakers.
Equity markets opened in green on Thursday. The NSE Nifty was up by 0.42 per cent or 90.50 points to 21,609.20, while the BSE Sensex was up by 0.46 per cent or 326.25 points to 71,672.51 at 10 am.
A total of 2,233 stocks were traded on the BSE, of which, 2,393 advanced, 729 declined and 111 stocks remained unchanged. As many as 269 stocks hit 52 week high and 5 stocks hit 52 week low.
Avdhut Bagkar Technical and Derivatives Analyst at StoxBox, said, “The US market fell overnight to extend declines from the previous session as the latest Fed meeting minutes shed little light on when rate cuts might begin. US job openings eased in November to the lowest level since early 2021.”
“Fewer workers voluntarily quit their positions, and the number of hires fell, adding to evidence of cooling labour demand. Meantime, the ISM’s US manufacturing gauge remained stuck in contraction territory for the 14th month at the end of 2023, restrained by weaker orders. Asian markets followed Wall Street lower this morning after the Fed signalled prolonged higher interest rates.
The Indian market may open on a cautious note Thursday in the wake of weak global cues and a sharp overnight rebound in oil prices after four consecutive sessions of losses. With festival demand waning, the manufacturing sector slowed down in December, Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) dropping to an 18-month low of 54.9 in December as against 56 in November. However, the sector is still in expansion mode,” Bagkar added.

He further said, “The 50 index witnessed a flattish opening, however, it succumbed to selling pressure immediately and continued its downward trajectory throughout the trading session. This was the second straight session of selling and with this the index added another distribution day in succession. Going forward, the index is anticipated to attract bullish strength on reclaiming the pivotal resistance near 21590.”
Major gainers on the NSE at 9:30 am include, Bajaj Finance (4.33%); NTPC (2.92%); Bajaj Finserv (2.23%); Tata Consumers (1.80%); Tata Motors (1.72%)
Major losers include BPCL(-1.66%); Bajaj Auto (-0.67%); Dr Reddy’s Lab (-0.52%); Eicher Motors (-0.43%); Tata Steel (-0.41%)
Sanjiv Mehta has been with Unilever for 31 years, ten as the MD and CEO of Hindustan Unilever, taking over in 2013. Mehta leaves behind a rich legacy, with turnover up by 2.3x, operating margins up by three-and-a-half times, market cap up by a factor of six to ₹6.38-lakh crore. Mehta retires at the AGM on June 26, handing over the baton to Rohit Jawa.
Mehta says when people ask him what he’s going to do post-retirement, he laughs and says he’s changing socks, not hanging up his boots. He’s taken up two board appointments — Air-India, where he says there’s much to do to regain lost glory, and on the board of global dairy major, Danone, to keep in tune with global trends. “Right now, I’m in the process of listening to people who come up with various offers,” he says. Excerpts from an interview.
How do you look back on your decade as the HUL chief? What have been the highs and lows?
It has given me a good deal of satisfaction, and to run Hindustan Unilever is a big privilege and honour. I’m also thankful to Unilever for the manner in which they trained me for this job. I have been a CEO for 21 years now; I was a CEO for 11 years before I came into this job.
I first got a job to turn around business in Bangladesh. And then they gave me a highly competitive market, which was as the CEO and Chairman of the Philippines division. Then it was to run the business in North Africa and Middle East. So, whether it was serendipity or there was a very clear sense in the madness, they trained me beautifully before I came into this job. And, HUL has had iconic leaders in Dr Ganguly and Mr Thomas, so stepping into their shoes, it was a big moment. I was out of the country for 21 years but I always remained in touch with India.
So, I had great outside perspective and there were no holy cows for me. I could come and challenge everything. The first six months was fully devoted to understanding the business. And the first big move we did was when I realised that India is such a heterogeneous country. The 20 countries of Middle East-North Africa had more in common than the States of India. That is when we introduced the concept of winning in many Indias (WiMi) which proved to be a source of serious competitive advantage. That was the first big move.
But it was such a big move that one had to first do an experiment in the second half of 2014 in Chennai, where Prabha Narasimhan (now Colgate-Palmolive MD and CEO) was the regional manager. What we did was, we created different strategies for the different States in the South. And in six months time, it was apparent that this was the way to go.
But all this preceded the deep dive analytics that we have now. How did you do it?
When we decided to go down the route of winning in many Indias, it dawned upon us that a brand manager will have to work on 15 strategies instead of one. So, they will be overwhelmed. That’s when the first big digital data analytics project called Live Wire started (in 2015). It was about pulling together disparate information from different sources — retail audit consumer panels, primary and secondary data — and providing information to our employees at a keystroke with the ability to slice and dice. Today, Live Wire is a potent weapon. It has gone through different versions and has been rolled out across Unilever.
Also, with the entry of Jio, the cost of data was coming down. And I could clearly foresee that data and technology will become centre-stage. That’s when we started Reimagine HUL. Initially we started by not having my management committee members on the team. We started by bringing in managers who were tech-savvy, who were believers that digitisation is going to be all-encompassing. And we started random experiments. In a year or two, it reached a stage where we had 80-plus experiments running in the company. We then joined the dots and identified where and what in the value chain we need to do, and formalised the digital council. That was the beginning of the journey.
The HUL of today is significantly different from the HUL of the past. Look at our Shikar app. It has got 1.2 million retailers, the most adopted app in the country today. Our Dapada factory (in Dadra & Nagar Haveli) is the first Lighthouse factory for digital and sustainability accorded by the World Economic Forum and the first such factory in the country. Or you can look at our Chanakya which is our Google, which if you ask questions, Chanakya will tell you what actions you need to take.
And, here’s how winning in many India comes alive. If you take Brooke Bond tea, the same pack depending on where you stay, the blends will be different. If you take Surf Excel, depending on the hardness of the water, the formulation is different. If you take Lux, it will be the same pack, same price, same color but perfumes are different depending on the consumer preference in different parts of the country. We also craft different communication for different parts of the country. And, our strategies are distinct. In south of India, our thrust is on converting users, so our penetration of liquids (detergents) has gone up significantly. In other parts of India, it is about converting people from bars to powders. In some parts of India, it is about converting people from basic powders, too powders which are enzymatic.
Your premiumisation journey is an ongoing one across brands?
We have a very comprehensive market development programme, where we reach 100 million households every year. We go to consumer homes, educate them, make them experience the brands and then after a few months follow it up. Behaviour change is never easy. We have actual feet on the ground, thousands of people who visit homes. It’s a whole ecosystem. I always talk about that we are going to be a business with high tech and high touch both going together
The way it is when if I look at the formula for making a business high performance, first is the total axis of growth and in growth, the first important bit is a mindset. The belief is that you can grow and when the second is you need to have a portfolio which is future fit. So, both organically and inorganically we boosted the portfolio.
Today, there is this market development cell whose turnover is over ₹10,000 crore which didn’t exist 10 years ago and they are all future facing portfolios. Then we have acquired some fabulous brands such as Indulekha. Then we acquired Aditya milk, then we acquired Vwash and then, of course we had the big merger at GSK. Then last fiscal year we bought Oziva and Wellbeing nutrition. We have also ensured that the gaps that existed in our portfolio are plugged. The second dimension is how do you build distinctive capabilities, which are hard to replicate? Where WiMi and Reimagine HUL will be the vision of making HUL the most intelligent consumer goods enterprise.
The third important bit is what I call it the high-performance autonomy, which is ensuring strengthening our employer brand with Employer of Choice across sectors, our performance culture. That has to be extremely strong. Our fetish for execution has to get strengthened. The clarity on strategy across the product portfolio and across consumer clusters has been brought in. So I think across all the three axes, I would look back and applaud the team. They have done an amazing work.
What is happening to the consumption story? Is rural back on track?
With inflation across the board, there were quarters when the net inflation crossed 20 per cent. If you look at the total value growth for a year ending in March, it was eight per cent, while volume growth was on minus four. If you look at urban, it was about 11 per cent value growth, and volume growth was nearly flat. In rural, the value growth was four per cent, while volume growth was minus seven. The good bit, however, is that despite this high inflation, the headline growth was still there even in rural. This implies that even rural consumers spent four per cent more though they did not spend enough to consume the same level of quantity.
Till the March quarter the price growth is tapering off. By the end of the year, I believe, on an average, the price growth in our books will more or less disappear. The real bounce back on volumes will happen when we start reducing the prices, which we’ve started doing in some cases — like in detergent, bars and soaps. And when you start reducing, it’s not a linear equation, that if you reduce it by 10 per cent, your volume will go up by 10 per cent. So, it takes some time as pipeline stocks are also there. I think in another couple of quarters, we should start seeing the volumes moving up.
Are you concerned about the entry of Reliance into the FMCG space because they also have a strong digital footprint and they can mimic your strategy?
The way I look at it, India is not a zero-sum game. Our per capita consumption is $49. The runway to grow is massive here. And it really doesn’t mean that if someone is growing, I have to de-grow. The second, I believe, is that a good competitor always brings out the best in HUL, as we have seen over the years — be it Nirma or Patanjali. From a consumer point of view, competition is good, it gives them the freedom of choice. It helps propel more growth. So yes, they’ll be formidable competitors. But I think we have our own distinct place in the minds and hearts of consumers.
PIJTE umjereno savjet je koji često čujemo, ali ga se ne pridržavamo baš uvijek. Kada pretjeramo s alkoholom, očekivano je da ćemo se naredni dan boriti s mamurlukom, a on nam s godinama može sve teže padati.
“U 20-ima je tijelo otporno, osobito jetra i mozak”, kaže dr. Elizabeth Landsverk, gerijatrica i stručnjakinja za demenciju, za HuffPost.
Ako umjereno pijete, alkohol vam neće teško padati ni u 30-ima.
“Važno je imati na umu da alkohol pridonosi epidemiji pretilosti, koja povećava rizik od nealkoholne bolesti masne jetre. Alkohol povećava rizik od bolesti jetre i ožiljaka, ciroze. Kao gerijatrica, rekla bih da su čaša ili dvije alkoholnog pića tjedno u redu”, dodala je dr. Landsverk.
U 40-ima se počinje pojavljivati sve više zdravstvenih rizika.

“Pretilost, dijabetes, hipertenzija i visoki kolesterol povećavaju rizik od srčanog udara, moždanog udara i mini moždanog udara”, upozorila je liječnica. Ako živite s bilo kojim od ovih stanja, čak i mala količina alkohola može dodatno povećati rizik od srčanog ili moždanog udara.
Početkom 50-ih godina tijelo počinje gubiti enzim za metabolizam alkohola. Zato se mnogi žale da u ovoj dobi sve teže podnose alkohol.
“Iz iskustva ću vam reći da su 60-e godine kada se tolerancija na alkohol može dramatično smanjiti. Ja sam zdrava, mogu skijati i plivati, ali nakon čaše vina sam usporena sljedeći dan”, pojasnila je dr. Landsverk.
Ako želite ostati zdravi kako starite, ne morate se potpuno odreći alkohola, ali imajte na umu da je umjerenost zaista ključna.

NAJČEŠĆA boja dlake kod mačaka je tigrasta ili prugasta (tzv. tabby). Ova vrsta dlake često ima kombinaciju tamnih i svijetlih pruga koje se protežu duž cijelog tijela mačke. Tigraste mačke mogu biti različitih boja, uključujući smeđu, crnu, sivu i narančastu.

Slijedi čista crna boja dlake, koja je također vrlo česta. Siva boja dlake također je česta, a sive mačke dolaze u različitim nijansama, od svijetlo sive do sive, koja gotovo izgleda kao srebrna. Narančasta boja dlake kod mačaka već je rjeđa, kao i smeđa. Među rijetkima su i potpuno bijela, crno-bijela (tzv. tuxedo mačka), crno-smeđa…
Važno je napomenuti da boja dlake kod mačaka, unatoč raširenom vjerovanju, nije povezana s njihovim karakterom ili temperamentom. Bez obzira na boju dlake, svaka mačka ima vlastiti karakter i osobnost.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], January 3: The Indian Super League (ISL) side Mohun Bagan Super Giant on Wednesday announced that they have parted ways with head coach Juan Ferrando and appointed Antonio Lopez Habas to take over for the same role. Ferrando took charge of Mohun Bagan SG midway through the ISL 2021-22 season and guided the club to the playoffs in his first season with the club. However, the following season was one to remember for Ferrando, with the Spaniard guiding the club to the ISL Cup during the 2022-23 season and then the Durand Cup. Habas previously served as the head coach of the Mariners from July 2020 to December 2021 and will begin his second tenure with the club. He is considered among the most successful coaches in ISL history. He won two ISL Cups and is the only head coach to do it. Under Habas, Mohun Bagan SG will look to get their campaign back on track, starting from the Kalinga Super Cup.ISL 2023-24: Northeast United FC Head Coach Juan Pedro Benali Signs New Contract, Extends His Stay Till 2025 Season

However, they struggled towards the end of the year, suffering three straight defeats. Apart from that, the Mariners also crashed out of the group stage in the AFC Cup. The Kolkata-based side currently sit in the fifth position in the ISL standings with 19 points from 10 games.

Dabur is a waste warrior
On World Environment Day, Dabur India announced that it had become a ‘Plastic Waste Positive company’ , having collected, processed and recycled 35,000 mt of post-consumer plastic waste from all over India in the 2022-23 financial year.
“Today, Dabur collects, processes and recycles more plastic waste than it sells in its product packaging in a year, thereby becoming a ‘Plastic Waste Positive’ enterprise,” said Rahul Awasthi, head of operations of the company.
“We are also committed to promoting circularity in the value chain to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve Net Zero in the entire value chain by 2045,” Awasthi added.

In Delhi-NCR more than 150 housing societies are involved in the “My 10 kg Plastic” flagship community-led initiative. Dabur has till date collected a total of over 89,000 mt of plastic waste (recyclable and non-recyclable) direct from the end-users. The collected plastic waste is being sent to different recyclers, waste-to-energy plants and cement kilns.
POPULARNO poznat kao hormon sreće, dopamin pojačava osjećaj blagostanja i zadovoljstva. Iako je većina nas čula da tjelovježba ili razne druge aktivnosti mogu izazvati val dopamina, određene namirnice također mogu izazvati isti učinak. Lifestyle coach Nayma Hasan Diana navela je nekoliko primjera.
1. Riba i jaja
Namirnice bogate proteinima poput ribe i jaja izvrsne su za povećanje dopamina. Diana savjetuje da svojoj prehrani dodamo hranu bogatu proteinima.
“Pomaže nam izgraditi mišiće i pomaže kod boljeg oporavka. Veći unos proteina povezan je s boljim raspoloženjem”, rekla je za The Daily Star.
Riba je dodatno bogata omega-3 masnim kiselinama koje igraju veliku ulogu u funkciji dopaminskih receptora.
2. Avokado
Avokado je izvor zdravih masnoća, djeluje protuupalno i pomaže u kontroli razine šećera u krvi. Također sadrži značajne količine folata, ili vitamina B9 koji pomaže mozgu da proizvede dopamin.

3. Tamna čokolada
Ova ukusna poslastica poznata je po tome što je bogata antioksidansima. Tamna čokolada prilično je moćna zbog svojeg sadržaja feniletilamina, spoja koji može poboljšati raspoloženje i time povećati razinu dopamina u mozgu.
“Može biti dobar međuobrok prije treninga jer diže razinu energije”, tvrdi Diana.
4. Orašasti plodovi i sjemenke
Kao izvor zdravih masnoća i drugih nutrijenata, orašasti plodovi i sjemenke više su od ukusnih dodataka obrocima. Sve vrste jestivih sjemenki poput lana, bundeve i chia sjemenki odličan su izbor. Imaju izvrstan okus i hranjivu vrijednost, a bogate su tirozinom – aminokiselinom koja gradi dopamin.
Dakle, određene namirnice mogu potaknuti oslobađanje dopamina, poznatog kao hormon sreće. Hrana bogata proteinima, avokado, tamna čokolada te orašasti plodovi i sjemenke sadrže sastojke koji podržavaju proizvodnju dopamina u mozgu. Ove namirnice doprinose i mentalnom i fizičkom zdravlju.

U SVIJETU pasa posebno se ističu divovske pasmine koje samim pogledom u ljudima izazivaju strahopoštovanje. Ako ste ljubitelj velikih pasa i razmišljate o nabavci jednog, trebate imati na umu da velike pasmine često, ali ne i uvijek, zahtijevaju puno prostora, kvalitetnu prehranu i lijekove te iskusne vlasnike koji se mogu posvetiti njihovom treningu.
U nastavku donosimo pet najvećih pasmina koje su izdvojili stručnjaci portala The Spruce Pets.
Boerboel
Boerboel, poznat i kao južnoafrički mastif, zastrašujuća je pasmina, teška između 68 i 90 kilograma. Porijeklo ove pasmine pomalo je enigmatično, ali vjeruje se da je nastala miješanjem mastifa, viktorijanskih buldoga i autohtonih afričkih pasa. Boerboel se koristi kao pas čuvar na farmama.
Njemačka doga
Unatoč svojoj divovskoj veličini, njemačka doga poznata je po svom prijateljskom i blagom temperamentu. Ova pasmina prvotno je uzgajana za lov, ali s vremenom preuzela je ulogu kućnog ljubimca. Kao i drugi veliki psi, njemačka doga zahtijeva dosljedan trening kako ne bi došlo do nezgoda zbog njene veličine.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Irski vučji hrt
Irski vučji hrt nije robustan, ali zato slovi kao najviša pasmina pasa. Mužjaci su visoki minimalno 79 centimetara i teški oko 55 kilograma. Porijeklom iz Irske, ovaj pas uzgajan je još od 5. stoljeća za lov na velike životinje poput jelena i vukova.
Leonberger
Leonberger je nastao miješanjem Newfoundlandera, bernardinca i pirinejskog planinskog psa u 19. stoljeću, u njemačkom gradu Leonbergu. Unatoč velikoj, mišićavoj građi, Leonberger je poznat po svojoj agilnosti i brzini. Iako je izrazito nježan i druželjubiv pas, Leonbergera je potrebno trenirati od malih nogu, zbog njegove veličine i snage.
Engleski mastif
Engleski mastif je drevna pasmina čije prikaze možemo vidjeti na egipatskim spomenicima i u rimskim dokumentima. Engleski mastif bio je u prošlosti korišten kao čuvar, ali kroz stoljeća evoluirao je u nježnog i prijateljski nastrojenog psa.

SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, has initiated a new project in 2024 with the launch of the initial set of Starlink internet satellites aboard the Falcon 9 spacecraft. The launch occurred on January 2nd at 10:44 p.m. EST. These satellites aim to offer direct-to-cell capabilities, allowing the possibility of accessing satellite broadband directly on smartphones. This innovation is expected to address challenges related to geographical features that typically hinder the provision of internet services.
During the launch, a total of 21 Starlink satellites were sent into low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Notably, the mission incorporated the deployment of the initial six Starlink satellites equipped with Direct-to-Cell capabilities.
The official Starlink website states, “This launch will include the first six Starlink satellites with Direct to Cell capabilities that will enable mobile network operators around the world to provide seamless global access to texting, calling, and browsing wherever you may be on land, lakes, or coastal waters.”
In practical terms, individuals utilizing the Starlink service on their smartphones will enjoy mobile phone connectivity regardless of their location.
If your telecommunications provider has secured access to the Starlink service, it will be compatible with your existing mobile phone. This service holds particular significance for regions where reliable internet connectivity is limited or entirely absent.
Moreover, the system can be rapidly deployed, highlighting its utility during emergencies when terrestrial infrastructure may be unavailable due to various reasons, including disasters. Notably, it can offer vital access to essential resources in such situations.
As a component of the launch, the initial stage of the Falcon 9 returned to Earth a mere 8.5 minutes following takeoff, successfully landing on the ‘Of Course I Still Love You’ droneship in the Pacific Ocean. Starlink’s objective is to create a satellite internet network covering the entire Earth. Presently, over 5100 active satellites have been launched, and the number continues to increase with each subsequent launch.

Mercedes-Benz ended production of the G-Class Cabriolet in 2013, and with the exception of the Maybach-branded G650 Landaulet it hasn’t released another chopped-top G-Wagon since. Dubai-based Refined Marques has filled this void with a limited-edition convertible G63.
Company boss Ahmed Al Bakry tells Autoblog that the idea of turning the current-generation G-Class into a convertible came from his 5-year-old son. While his initial plan was to build one example, the G63 Cabriolet became a limited-edition model after some of his friends saw it and put down a deposit. Regardless of production figures, his goal was always to improve some of the old Cabriolet’s weak points.
He adds that one issue is access to the rear seats, which was tight at best in the factory-built SUV (shown in white in the gallery above). His solution was to add a pair of small rear doors for the back-seat passengers. He experimented with regular, front-hinged doors before flipping the hinges around. Fitting suicide doors improves access and comfort, Al Bakry notes, and repositioning the rear seats unlocks more space. Full-size adults can comfortably ride in the back even when there are relatively tall passengers sitting in the front, the CEO says.
Viewed from the outside, the Refined Marques-designed G63 Cabriolet features proportions similar to the Mercedes-Benz-designed model’s — it’s clean, congruous, and it could almost pass as a factory-developed version. Building it requires shortening the frame, but Al Bakry explains his company is well prepared to take on such a massive project because it routinely works on some of the world’s most luxurious cars. Refined Marques also made several small changes to the original design: The tailgate notably swings outward instead of down.
Power comes from a stock, G63-sourced 4.0-liter V8 that’s twin-turbocharged to 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. It spins the four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission, and the Cabriolet retains the standard G’s full-time four-wheel-drive system.
Refined Marques will build 20 units of the G63 Cabriolet, and 19 examples are already spoken for in spite of a base price pegged at about $1.3 million. Al Bakry tells me the 20th build slot will be filled fairly quickly. Put another way, you’re not getting one if your name isn’t already on the list. Refined Marques will work with each buyer to customize the SUV, and none of the 20 units planned will be exactly identical.
Domestic markets are expected to open on a negative tone on Wednesday amid weak global cues. Gift Nifty at 21,681 indicates a gap down opening of about 80 points as NIfty futures on Tuesday closed at 21,756.75 at the NSE.
Analysts said bulls need fresh triggers for both global as well as domestic markets as all the positives are already discounted.
Buzzing stocks. Stocks that will see action today: January 3, 2024
The indices witnessed some pullback in Tuesday’s sessions as the IT and the banking heavyweights witnessed some selling pressure, said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research, 5paisa.com. However, the overall market was not very negative and certain sectors such as Pharma and Oil & Gas continued their upmove, he said.
“The overall data from the FIIs remain positive with minor unwinding seen, while in the options segment the put writers in the index had to cover their positions,” he added.
Asian stocks are down in early deals on Wednesday.

Mandar Bhojane, Equity Research Analyst, Choice Broking, said: “Analysing Open Interest (OI) data, the highest OI on the call side is noted at the 21,800 level, followed by the 22,000 strike prices. On the put side, the highest OI is observed at the 21,500 strike price. This data provides insights into the levels where options traders have the greatest exposure.”
Profit taking in banking, IT, auto and realty stocks took a toll on the markets, as expensive valuations prompted investors to pare their holdings, said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
“Besides, the ongoing conflict in the Red Sea has been making investors jittery as any flare-up in violence could trigger an upsurge in oil prices and weigh on the economy. The biggest negative catalyst: COVID-19 sub-variant JN.1 cases have seen a surge throughout India. Strictly speaking, if the last two days’ trading action on Dalal Street is any indication, then volatility could be seen going ahead,” he cautioned.
Brands did a lot of moment-marketing around World Environment Day and Pride Month this time. But Zomato’s ‘kachra’ campaign featuring the character called Kachra from the movie ‘Lagaan’ backfired badly. Netizens took umbrage at what they perceived as caste discrimination forcing Zomato to take down the videos.

LIJEČNICI iz čitavog svijeta osmislili su testove snage i agilnosti kojima se može utvrditi jeste li u dobroj formi za svoje godine. Oni neće automatski poboljšati našu dugovječnost, ali mogu nas natjerati da poradimo na sebi i povećamo šanse za dug i zdrav život.
Ustajanje iz sjedećeg položaja bez pomoći
Stanite bosi, a zatim sjednite na pod. Pokušajte ustati iz ovog položaja bez ikakve pomoći ruku ili koljena.
Ovaj test temelji se na studiji provedenoj na više od 2000 osoba starijih od 55 godina, koju je provelo Sveučilište Gama Filho u Brazilu. Otkriveno je da su sredovječne i starije osobe koje su trebale koristiti obje ruke i koljena da bi ustale i sjele imale gotovo sedam puta veću vjerojatnost da će umrijeti unutar šest godina, u usporedbi s onima koji nisu trebali nikakvu potporu, izvijestio je European Journal of Preventive Cardiology 2012.
Istraživači su predložili da počnete s ocjenom pet i oduzmete jedan bod svaki put kada koristite ruku ili koljeno za podršku dok ustajete. Svaki bod na kraju testa povećava šanse za šestogodišnje preživljavanje za 20 posto.
Test procjenjuje našu fleksibilnost, ravnotežu i motoričku koordinaciju, ali i mjeri snagu najvećih mišića tijela – u trupu i bedrima. Naša mišićna snaga usko je povezana s dugovječnošću jer kako starimo, gubimo mišićnu masu. Mišići nas ne čine samo fizički snažnijima, oni pomažu regulirati ključne tjelesne funkcije.
Na primjer, mišićna vlakna reguliraju razinu šećera u krvi apsorbirajući glukozu iz krvi koja se sagorijeva tijekom napora. Gubitak mišićne mase znači da je ovaj mehanizam uvelike izgubljen, što zauzvrat povećava rizik od dijabetesa tipa 2 kod starijih osoba, prema Diabetes UK. Nakon 50. godine, većina ljudi gubi do jedan posto mišićne mase svake godine.
Sjednite pa ustanite sa stolca
Sjednite na blagovaonski stolac i prekrižite ruke na prsima tako da svaka ruka drži suprotno rame. Stopala oslonite čvrsto na pod, držite leđa ravno i deset puta ustanite, pa ponovno sjednite na stolac. Izmjerite koliko vam je vremena za to potrebno.
Ovaj test mjeri snagu glavnih mišića, a liječnici ga često koriste kao opću procjenu snage i zdravlja. Zdrav, fit muškarac stariji od 55 godina trebao bi moći završiti test za manje od 18 sekundi, a zdrava žena te dobi za 19 sekundi. Muškarci u dobi od 35 do 55 godina trebali bi moći završiti test za 13 sekundi, a žene za 15 sekundi.
Provjerite brzinu hodanja
Hodajte normalnim tempom šest metara i izmjerite vrijeme. Ukupni iznos podijelite sa šest kako biste dobili svoju brzinu hoda u metrima po sekundi.

Velika američka studija pokazala je da ljudi koji prirodno hodaju brže od prosjeka za svoju dob imaju duži životni vijek. Objavio je Journal of the American Medical Association 2011. godine.
Ako imate 60 godina ili više, vaša bi prosječna brzina trebala biti oko 0.8 metara u sekundi. Ako hodate brže od jednog metra u sekundi, vaš očekivani životni vijek trebao bi biti znatno duži od prosjeka, rekla je Stephanie Studenski, profesorica gerijatrijske medicine na Sveučilištu u Pittsburghu, koja je vodila studiju.
“Brzina hoda manja od 0.6 metara u sekundi može ukazivati na povećani rizik od rane smrtnosti. Ovaj test je koristan jer hodanje zahtijeva energiju, kontrolu pokreta i potporu te postavlja zahtjeve na više organskih sustava, uključujući srce, pluća, krvožilni, živčani i mišićno-koštani sustav”, rekla je Studenski.
Brzo hodanje može ukazivati na dobro zdravlje srca. Studija, provedena na više od 50.000 ljudi i objavljena u British Journal of Sports Medicine 2019., otkrila je da je hodanje brže od prosjeka povezano s 53 posto nižim rizikom od kardiovaskularnih bolesti u starijih od 60 godina.
Koliko sklekova možete napraviti?
Napravite koliko god sklekova možete. Prema studiji provedenoj na više od 1500 sredovječnih muškaraca 2019. godine, što više sklekova možemo učiniti uzastopno, manji je rizik od smrti od kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Izvođenje manje od deset sklekova ukazuje na rizik od srčanih bolesti veći od prosjeka, izvijestio je JAMA Network Open.
Svaki dodatni sklek smanjuje rizik od kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Ako možete napraviti 40 ili više sklekova u komadu, vaš je kardiovaskularni rizik smanjen za 97 posto.
Zasebno istraživanje Sveučilišta Južnog Walesa pokazalo je da izvođenje sklekova potiče otpuštanje BDNF-a, kemikalije koja potiče rast novih moždanih stanica i može pomoći u zaštiti od demencije.
Testirajte snagu svog stiska
Zamolite prijatelja da procijeni vaš stisak ruke. Liječnici opće prakse tradicionalno koriste test rukovanja prilikom pozdravljanja pacijenata kao mjeru njihove fizičke snage.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Osim što je pouzdano mjerilo ukupne mišićne snage i dugovječnosti, snaga stiska povezana je sa snagom mozga. Studija Sveučilišta u Manchesteru iz 2021., provedena na gotovo pola milijuna Britanaca, otkrila je da su zdravi sredovječni ljudi s jakim stiskom ruku bili bolji u testovima pamćenja i rasuđivanja.
Vrijeme koje je potrebno za uspinjanje po stepenicama
Pronađite stubište s 60 stepenica i izmjerite koliko vam je potrebno da se popnete po njima. Istraživanje predstavljeno na konferenciji Europskog kardiološkog društva 2020. pokazalo je da je kod ljudi srednje dobi uspinjanje po 60 stepenica u manje od minute pokazatelj dobrog zdravlja srca i nižeg rizika od smrtnosti u sljedećem desetljeću.
Voditelj istraživanja, dr. Jesus Peteiro, kardiolog u Sveučilišnoj bolnici Coruna u Španjolskoj, upozorio je: “Ako vam za ovaj test treba više od jedne i pol minute, vaše je zdravlje ispod optimalnog i trebali biste razmisliti o aktivnijoj tjelovježbi.”
Koliko dugo možete stajati na jednoj nozi?
Ovo je najpoznatiji test dugovječnosti, a sada se smatra i snažnim pokazateljem budućeg zdravlja mozga. Skinite cipele i čarape te stavite prednji dio jednog stopala na stražnju stranu suprotne potkoljenice, držeći ruke pored sebe i pogled usmjeren ravno naprijed. Mjerite koliko dugo možete stajati ovako – pokušajte tri puta i koristite svoje prosječno vrijeme kao rezultat.
Ljudi koji ne mogu stajati na jednoj nozi deset sekundi u srednjoj ili kasnijoj dobi imaju gotovo dvostruko veći rizik od smrti u sljedećih deset godina, pokazalo je prošlogodišnje globalno istraživanje na 1702 osobe. Oni koji su postigli najlošije rezultate u prosjeku su izdržali samo dvije sekunde ili manje, te su imali tri puta veću vjerojatnost da će umrijeti u sljedećih 13 godina nego oni koji su mogli stajati deset sekundi ili više, izvijestio je British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Prošle su godine istraživači sa Sveučilišta Tsukuba u Japanu izvijestili da su ljudi bolji u testovima ravnoteže što je njihov hipokampus snažniji. Ovo je područje mozga povezano s pamćenjem, ali također igra ulogu u našoj ravnoteži, zbog čega je ovaj test iznimno koristan.
ZOOLOŠKI vrt objavio je priopćenje nakon što je morao uspavati 15-godišnju žirafu. Na Silvestrovo (31. prosinca) zoološki vrt u Dallasu bio je prisiljen donijeti srceparajuću odluku da usmrti jednu od svojih voljenih žirafa, Ferrell, koja je imala samo 15 godina.
Prema Zakladi za očuvanje žirafa, i mužjaci i ženke žirafe mogu doživjeti oko 25 godina u divljini, a čak i duže u zoološkim vrtovima. Unatoč tome što je Ferrell imala samo 15 godina, zoološki vrt u Dallasu objavio je na svojoj Facebook stranici da je Ferrell uginula.
Zoološki vrt objasnio je da je žirafa 29. prosinca neočekivano pala u staji i zadobila tešku ozljedu čeljusti. “Naši timovi za brigu o životinjama i veterinari brzo su procijenili njezino stanje i utvrdili da ozljeda zahtijeva kirurški zahvat”, opisali su.

Operacija nije uspjela
No, tijekom zahvata tim je otkrio da je žirafa iščašila čeljust tako da je operacija nije mogla popraviti. Iščašenja čeljusti, čak i kod manjih životinja, teško je liječiti, ali veličina i anatomija žirafe sprječavaju bilo kakav normalan oporavak.
“S obzirom na ovu prognozu i utjecaj na kvalitetu Ferrellinog života, tim je donio nevjerojatno tešku odluku o humanoj eutanaziji Ferrell u nedjelju, 31. prosinca”, otkrili su iz ZOO-a i dodali da su njihovom timu srca slomljena zbog iznenadnog gubitka Ferrell.
Počivaj u miru, Ferrell.

POZNATA luksuzna modna marka Louis Vuitton je, prema pisanju stranih medija, spremna proširiti svoje poslovanje na novu kategoriju – hotelijerstvo. Prema Fashion Networku, brend planira transformirati svoje trenutno sjedište tvrtke u Parizu u hotel. Navodno će LV Hotel debitirati na adresi 103 Champs Elysees u 2026. godini.

Od marke poznate po luksuznim i skupocjenim komadima očekuje se isto kada je u pitanju uređenje hotela – raskoš i glamur. Hotel će se navodno prostirati na gotovo 6000 kvadrata, a nalazit će se pored najveće trgovine Louisa Vuittona na svijetu.
“Ovo je veličanstveno”
Navodno će hotel biti dizajniran tako da podsjeća na ogroman Louis Vuitton kovčeg ukrašen kopčama. Međutim, prema izvješćima Glitter Magazina, planovi koji uključuju projektiranje hotela ili nadgledanje obnove tek trebaju biti objavljeni.
Iako su informacije o hotelu još uvijek dosta šture, izazvao je veliku pozornost na društvenim mrežama, gdje videi s njim u prvom planu (točnije kulisom iza koje se skriva) broje milijunske preglede. “Trebao bi ostati takav, prekriven u obliku kovčega”, “Jedva čekam”, “Čekajte, istina je?”, “Izgleda skupocjeno”, “Jedva čekam da se otvori”, “Ovo je veličanstveno”, neki su od komentara.

Mumbai-based Rays Power Infra, an integrated solar power company with implementation of solar power projects of 1,207 mega-watts peak, has filed its Draft Red Herring prospectus (DRHP) with capital market regulator SEBI to raise funds for its initial public offering (IPO).
The IPO with a face value of ₹10 comprises fresh issue of equity shares of up to ₹300 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 2.99 million shares by promoter selling shareholders. The OFS comprises up to 1.4 million shares by Ketan Mehta, up to 7.78 lakh shares by Pawan Kumar Sharma, up to 7.78 lakh by Sanjay Garudapally.
50 per cent for QIPs
The offer is being made through the book building process, where up to 50 per cent is reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 15 per cent for allocation to non-institutional bidders and not less than 35 per cent for retail investors.
The company in consultation with the book running lead managers, may consider undertaking a further offer of equity shares, including by way of a private placement of equity shares, aggregating up to ₹45 crore or a secondary sale by the promoter selling shareholders of up to 1.49 million equity shares or a combination thereof. If such placement is completed, the fresh issue size will be reduced.
The proceeds from the fresh issue, to the extent of ₹210 crore, will be used for funding incremental working capital requirement of the company and general corporate purpose.
Established in 2011, this company emerged as an early participant in the solar park sector and has since evolved into a reputable provider of comprehensive solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services. Its growth has been driven by the escalating demand for renewable energy solutions in the country.
Smartphones, the core component of the new digital commerce growth, are shifting the field of action to m-commerce.
M-commerce, or online transactions using handheld devices, is taking over the e-commerce industry simply because they offer easy access to products/services. As physically the closest devices to potential shoppers, mobile phones are the driving force behind the m-commerce explosion hitting the Indian digital shopping arena.
A PayPal report says that seven out of 10 customers in India prefer to shop on their mobile devices. And four in five business respondents say they are already optimised to take mobile payments.

Backed by the launch of 5G and even the tier-2 and -3 population lapping up the smartphone phenomenon, India is expected to have an estimated one billion smartphone users by 2026. Statistics are proof positive that the trend is already here in India, and there is no stopping it.
Brands are always in hot pursuit of prospective customers and their shopping behaviours. It follows suit that brands on mobile commerce apps on customers’ devices are offering easy-to-flip-and-browse catalogues and hassle-free checkout/ payment processes.
Also watch: Open, Unbundled and Interoperable | How ONDC is radically changing e-commerce
The key elements that go into making m-commerce such a champion trend include the convenience of scrolling through products and making purchases while on the move saving customers’ time and effort.
While it’s becoming the norm rather than the exception, it is more than just mobile shopping. M-commerce covers a wide variety of transactions like mobile banking, mobile payments, as well as, digital wallets.
That is why handy payment portals and bank apps have been released by banking and financial institutions that have hopped on board. Customers are increasingly making all of their daily transactions on their mobile devices and that’s where businesses also need to be!

M-Commerce: Packed With Pros
While flexibility and convenience top the list of benefits for customers, businesses also enjoy better reach and visibility on mobile apps. There’s something in it for everyone!
M-commerce has the potential to transform customers’ lives and businesses with some major advantages, including:
Faster transactions, easier payment: No manoeuvring nasty traffic snarls, no waiting time at the checkout, or even the need to reach their desktops. If customers can buy their favourite brand of skincare products while they wait at the traffic signal, then the technology that allows them to do it makes immense sense. This positive experience is completed when the purchase is supported by competent payment apps that come with quick and convenient systems.
Seamless and omni-channel experience: A brand’s success is largely determined by how seamlessly it allows customers to move from one channel to another, wherever, whenever, and however they want to, thus making it easier for them to buy the things. Businesses that opt to provide an omni-channel experience using multiple channels in a cohesive manner are always going to ace the loyalty game. Mobile commerce opens the magical door to communicating with customers through the channel of their choice, whether it’s SMS, chatbots, or push notifications.
Increased product discovery: Every person who owns a mobile device is a prospective customer, and such a broad user base provides numerous chances for creating and nurturing sales opportunities. If all customers need to do is download your app from an app store, then accessing your offerings will be significantly simpler for them.
Better pool of data and insights: Gaining a deeper understanding of their consumers’ browsing trends, habits, and behaviour can be easily enabled using mobile analytics.
Therefore, consumer brands can benefit from these kinds of insights by offering their customers unique and personalised deals like segmented specials, and suggested items.
So, the richer the pool of insights, the more brands can positively influence the bottom-line numbers. Brands of all sizes, big conglomerates as well as the smaller ones, need to start keeping m-commerce at the centre of ways to enhance the customer experience.

Utilising such channels effectively to engage with end consumers has the ability to supplement the retailer’s effort to drive not just conversions but also a resounding, positive sentiment toward the brand.
If not, the alternative isn’t very positive, where the risk of getting left behind in a sea of the outdated and outmoded is too large.
NA NEKE faktore dugovječnosti, poput genetike i bolesti, ne možemo utjecati, ali na druge možemo. Ono što jedemo i koliko redovito vježbamo igra veliku ulogu u tome koliko ćemo dugo živjeti. Štoviše, smatra se da su to glavni razlozi zbog kojih stanovnici takozvanih plavih zona imaju najveće koncentracije stogodišnjaka.
Tiktokerica Carleigh Bodrug pogledala je Netflixov dokumentarac o navikama ljudi u plavim zonama i preporučila minestrone juhu punu povrća.
“Najdugovječnije obitelji jedu ovu juhu gotovo svaki dan”, rekla je.
Kamen temeljac prehrane većine stogodišnjaka su namirnice biljnog podrijetla, poput graha, mahunarki, zeljanica i žitarica.
Da je ova juha zdrava, potvrdio je i doktor Tim Tiutan.

“Ova nevjerojatna juha na bazi biljaka puna je vitamina, minerala i vlakana. Povrće je bogato vlaknima koja pomažu u kontroli razine šećera u krvi, snižavaju kolesterol, poboljšavaju zdravlje crijeva, pomažu u kontroli težine i smanjuju rizik od raka”, pojasnio je.
Za juhu će vam trebati mrkva, celer, luk, krumpir, začini, češnjak, pelati, temeljac, grah (ili slanutak), ječam (ili tjestenina) i bosiljak.
Carleigh kaže da je prvo potrebno isjeckati sve sastojke na kockice. Potom zagrijte veliki lonac na srednje jakoj vatri. Propirjajte češnjak i luk, a zatim dodajte mrkvu, celer, krumpir, origano, sol i papar. Kad krumpir i mrkva malo omekšaju, ulijte u lonac vodu i temeljac, dodajte pelate, grah i ječam. Kad voda zakuha, smanjite vatru i kuhajte juhu pola sata. Ukrasite svježim peršinom i uživajte.

KELLY Taylor, vlasnica zlatnih retriverica Chloe i Callie, u intervjuu za Newsweek otkrila je da njezine ljubimice obožavaju spavati i već se oko 20 sati spremaju za krevet.
“Chloe i Callie vole spavati”, rekla je Taylor. “Imaju organiziran raspored koji potiče zdravu prehranu, spavanje i aktivan život. Većinu dana bude se uz prve zrake sunca, a oko 10 ponovno drijemaju. No Callie je puno ozbiljnija od Chloe kada je u pitanju spavanje.”

Taylor je prošli tjedan na svom TikTok profilu objavila snimku na kojoj možemo vidjeti kako Callie svojoj vlasnici daje do znanja da je vrijeme za spavanje. Callie se penje stepenicama koje vode prema spavaćoj sobi i svakih par koraka zastane kako bi pogledala svoju vlasnicu. Nakon što shvati da je vlasnica ne želi slijediti u krevet, Callie sama odlazi na spavanje.
“Pogledom te pita: ‘Dolaziš li?'”, “Moj labrador laje u hodniku sve dok ga ne počnemo slijediti”, “Jadnica, stvarno želi da joj se pridružiš”, “Ja ne trebam ni gledati sat, moj zna kada je 9:30”, pisali su korisnici TikToka u komentarima videa koji je pregledan više od 3.7 milijuna puta.

Mohamed Salah headed off to the Africa Cup of Nations on the back of a starring role for Liverpool in its 4-2 win over Newcastle that opened up a three-point lead in the English Premier League. An individual performance that started with his latest failure from the penalty spot ended with Salah scoring Liverpool’s first and last goals and having a hand in the other two for his team in a chaotic game in wet and wild conditions at Anfield. All of the goals came in an end-to-end second half. Jurgen Klopp Briefly Loses Wedding Ring During Post-Match Celebrations Following Liverpool’s Win Against Newcastle United in Premier League 2023-24 (Watch Video).
The league pauses for the FA Cup and then a winter break lasting much of the rest of January with Liverpool looking the team most likely to stop Manchester City winning an unprecedented fourth straight top-flight title. City was in third place, five points behind Liverpool — and two behind Aston Villa — with a game in hand.
Salah, who could be missing until mid-February depending on how far Egypt advances in the Africa Cup, could be the player to lead Liverpool to a record-tying 20th league championship. He has 14 goals for the campaign, tied for the most with City’s Erling Haaland.
“I said to myself, Are you going to leave for the national team with that performance? Not really,’” Salah said, referring to his penalty failure in the 22nd minute. “I just had to step up.”
Salah said he changed his boots at halftime.
“When I felt like it was playing with my head, I was like, OK, I change.’ Make my mind calm, focus on the game.”
Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo scored the other goals for Liverpool in howling rain as Newcastle conceded 34 shots. Eighteen came in the first half, the most in the league this season. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is coming under pressure with his team in ninth place, out of Europe completely and also recently losing in the League Cup. The Saudi-controlled northeast club equalized through Alexander Isak and made it 3-2 through Sven Botman’s header at a corner but was totally dominated by Liverpool.
“I know in time we will get the results we need,” Howe said after Newcastle’s seventh loss in its last eight games. I can always see a light at the end of the tunnel if the players continue to give everything they’ve got.”
Salah had his first penalty saved by Martin Dubravka after Luis Diaz was tripped by Botman. That was his fourth failure from the spot in his last nine attempts. He bounced back by finishing off a team move in the 49th for his 150th league goal for Liverpool, supplying a fine pass for Diogo Jota to set up Jones to tap in, then playing a pass with the outside of his left foot for Gakpo to turn home. Real Madrid Star Jude Bellingham Sets Target To Achieve in New Year After A Successful 2023 For the Spanish Giants.
The match-clinching fourth came in the 86th after Dubravka felled Jota. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp couldn’t watch Salah’s penalty — the crowd told him it went in — and went on to briefly lose his wedding ring in the post-match celebrations.

BSE Sensex declined 0.38 per cent or 276.01 to 72,001 points, while the NSE Nifty was at 21,669.60, down by 0.28 per cent or 61.60 points in early trade. A total of 3,233 stocks were actively traded, 1,955 advanced, while 1,170 declined and 108 stocks remained unchanged. While 220 stocks hit 52-week high and 6 stocks hit 52-week low at 10 am on Tuesday.
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said, “The 1,000 point rally in the Nifty in the last one month has imparted momentum to the market. Retail investors encouraged by the excellent returns of 2023 have turned exuberant and are chasing stocks, unmindful of the high valuations, particularly in the mid and small cap segments. Investors should not fall into the trap of ‘recency bias’ and chase low grade stocks in the broader market.
“Declining dollar and US bond yields provide a favourable global context for equities. FII inflows in 2024 are likely to be huge and have the potential to lift high quality large-caps, particularly in segments like banking where valuations are fair. An important trend to watch is the spike in the volatility index VIX to 14.5 which indicates that high volatility is round the corner. Yesterday’s sell off in the last 30 minutes is a warning that at higher levels there can be bouts of big selling.“
Major gainers on the NSE at 9:30 am include, Divi’s Lab (2.31%); Tata Consumers (1.75%); Dr Reddy’s (1.62%); Sun Pharma (1.33%); Cipla (1.17%)
For the second consecutive year, Forbes has ranked Tata group’s brand custodian Harish Bhat as among the top ten most influential CMOs (chief marketing officers). Bhat is ranked 10th on the latest list. He was at the ninth position last year.
The 2023 list of the top 50 CMOs was announced in Cannes on Thursday at a special luncheon event held at the Carlton hotel.
Topping the Forbes list of most influential CMOs 2023 in order of ranking is William White, CMO, Walmart (who was second last year); Marcel Marcones, Global CMO, AB InBev; Conny Braams, Chief Digital & Commercial Officer, Unilever; Greg Joswiak, SVP Worldwide Marketing, Apple; Dirk-Jan van Hameren, CMO, Nike; Marian Lee, CMO, Netfliz; Asad Ayaz, Chief Brand Officer, The Walt Disney Co; Mathilde Delhoume-Debreu, Global Brand Officer, LVMH, and number nine is Tim Ellis, CMO, National Football League. At 21 is Indian origin Asmita Dubey, Chief Digital & Marketing Officer, L’Oreal.
Writing about Bhat, Forbes says, “The long-time Brand Custodian and de facto Chief Brand Officer for India’s largest conglomerate, Bhat leads brand strategy for the Tata brand, which is utilised by the parent company’s thirty-plus subsidiaries, including those in motors, consulting services, steel and coffee, to name a few. As brand custodian, Bhat plays a critical role in building and strengthening the Tata brand both within India, and globally. His deep understanding of the Indian consumer landscape and his years of building successful new brands like Titan and Tata Tea for the Group make him a highly influential figure in the marketing industry. As an author and columnist, Bhat is also committed to sharing his expertise to inspire the next generation of marketers.”
Writing about the role of CMOs, Forbes says, “Today’s chief-marketers are expected to separate signals from an unprecedented explosion in noise, to adapt to changing attitudes, behaviours and events in real-time, to react to the hijacking of their brand narratives in a moment by consumers, employees and, sometimes, their C-suite colleagues; to provide absolute certainty that every dollar invested will deliver a 1:1 return (also in real-time), when no such certainty exists but is still, often, the expectation of those for whom their understanding of marketing is (often) limited to the fact that they have been marketed to.”
NAKON produženog vikenda vraćamo se uobičajenim navikama koje uključuju rano ustajanje i odlazak na posao. Ako se prevrćete u krevetu i ne možete zaspati, dobra vijest je da postoji metoda koja bi vam mogla pomoći da se isključite u roku od dvije minute.
Youtuber Justin Agustin otkrio je da postoji takozvana vojna metoda, koju je potrebno prakticirati svake večeri tijekom šest tjedana. Poslije toga 96 posto ljudi zaspat će u roku od dvije minute nakon što zatvori oči.

“Počnite tako da opustite mišiće na čelu, oči, obraze, čeljust i usredotočite se na disanje. Pazite da vam ramena nisu napeta. Spustite ih što niže možete i držite ruke labavo uza sebe. Zatim duboko udahnite i polako izdahnite opuštajući prsa, trbuh, bedra, koljena, noge i stopala. Dok to radite, očistite se od stresa. Razmislite o dva scenarija. Prvo, ležite u kanuu na mirnom jezeru. Nema ničega, samo plavo nebo iznad vas. Drugo, ležite u crnoj baršunastoj ležaljci u mračnoj sobi. Kad počnete razmišljati o bilo čemu drugome, ponavljajte deset sekundi riječi ‘ne misli'”, pojasnio je.

As the calendar flips to a new year, resolutions emerge like stars in a midnight sky—promises made, goals set, and dreams envisioned. But did you know that behind this timeless tradition lie fascinating tidbits that add sparkle to the ritual of resolution-making?
1. Ancient Roots, Timeless Tradition: The practice of setting New Year’s resolutions dates back over 4,000 years to ancient Babylonian times. They began as promises made to gods at the start of each year, often involving returning borrowed items or settling debts. Why Do People Make New Year Resolutions? Explore the Psychology, History, and Motivations Behind This Age-Old Practice.
2. Resolving to Better Health: Health-related goals dominate the resolution landscape. Surveys consistently reveal that resolutions centered around fitness, weight loss, and healthier lifestyles are among the top commitments people make each year.
3. The January Jolt: Studies show that January isn’t just a month; it’s a catalyst for change. Gym memberships surge, with a notable spike in attendance during the first weeks of the year. January is also labeled the “Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day,” observed on January 17th, marking the day many abandon their goals.
4. The Power of Writing It Down: Individuals who write down their resolutions are more likely to stick to them. Putting goals on paper solidifies commitment, making them more tangible and achievable.
5. The Resolution Redo: If at first, you don’t succeed…try, try again! Research suggests that only about 8% of people actually achieve their New Year’s resolutions. However, don’t be disheartened—the act of setting goals, regardless of success, is associated with a higher chance of progress.

6. Resolutions Around the World: Various cultures observe similar traditions. In Japan, for instance, people engage in “Hatsumode,” the first shrine visit of the New Year, to pray for health, wealth, and happiness. In Scotland, the first day of the year, called Hogmanay, involves “First-Footing,” visiting friends with symbolic gifts to bring good fortune for the year ahead.
7. The Multifaceted Resolution Spectrum
Resolutions span diverse domains—personal, professional, social, and spiritual. From learning new skills, quitting smoking, and saving money to spending more time with loved ones or volunteering, resolutions cover a vast spectrum of aspirations.
8. The Resilience of Resolutions
Though many resolutions might falter, the act of setting them reflects our continuous quest for self-improvement. Even if goals shift or change, the spirit of growth and betterment persists.
New Year’s resolutions stand as an annual testament to our aspirations, our will to change, and our belief in the power of transformation. Regardless of their success rate, the act of setting resolutions symbolizes hope, resilience, and the endless potential for growth. So, as the clock strikes midnight, embrace the spirit of possibility, set your goals, and remember—every resolution is a small step on the captivating journey of self-discovery and personal evolution. Cheers to the excitement, the dreams, and the resolutions that paint the canvas of the New Year with vibrant hues of promise and potential!

AKADEMIK s Oxforda specijaliziran za matematiku otkrio je ključne strategije za pomoć ljubiteljima svjetski poznate društvene igre – Monopoly – da popločaju svoj put do pobjede.
Osvajanje Bordwalka i Park Placea neće jamčiti vaš uspjeh, prema Marcusu du Sautoyu, također autoru knjige Put oko svijeta u 80 igara. Preskočite te cijenjene nekretnine, za koje je poznato da su dovele do bankrota mnoge igrače, rekao je Du Sautoy za Sun – i razmišljajte o narančastim ulicama/posjedima.
Pozicija ovih posjeda je ključna
I zašto baš St. James Place, uz New York i Tennessee Avenue? Radi se o njihovoj poziciji u odnosu na zatvor na ploči, tvrdi stručnjak. Naime, ovo predstavlja dvostruku prijetnju, s obzirom na to da je omraženo mjesto na ploči obično zauzeto, kako onima koji su završili u zatvoru, tako i onima koji su samo u posjetu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Igrači koji izlaze iz zatvora, u donjem lijevom kutu ploče, najskloniji su bacanju šestice, sedmice ili osmice, kaže Sautoy. Iako bi sedmica pala na Škrinju zajednice između narančastih ulica, izgledi su još uvijek u korist vlasnika istih.
Uz hotele izgrađene nakon postavljanja preduvjetnih četiri kućica, St. James Place i Tennessee Avenue koštaju protivnike 950 dolara po boravku, dok New York Avenue ide za 1000 dolara.
Svjetski prvak u igri Monopolyja Nicolò Falcone potvrđuje stopu uspješnosti ove metode, također savjetujući da igrači ulažu u četiri željeznice u igri – pristojna vrijednost od 200 dolara po komadu. Također, ne preskačite komunalne usluge, obje po cijeni od 150 dolara.

Cannes is a beautiful place to visit, particularly during summer. The sea is azure blue, the air smells sweet and there are more yachts anchored in the Cannes harbour than I have ever seen in my entire life. This is the French Riviera, playground of the rich and famous. Yet for an entire week, this town gives way to more than 10,000 marketers and advertising folk who visit here to attend the world’s greatest festival of creativity — the Cannes Lions.
I was at the Festival this year, and had the opportunity to listen to some amazing sessions delivered by brilliant minds — including marketers, advertising people, singers, film makers, influencers, CEOs, professors and restaurateurs. Here are five lessons I am carrying back with me.
Experiment with Gen AI
A key theme running across the festival was Generative Artificial Intelligence. Everyone was talking about AI this year. The clear advice from many speakers was to experiment rapidly with Generative AI, and, specifically, to take up tangible marketing problems for which the tools of AI can be thoughtfully applied.
I learnt from Pratik Thakar of the Coca-Cola company, who was part of an excellent panel discussion at the Microsoft beach pavilion, that he has just moved from handling the brand to being Head of Generative AI for the company. This is the first time I have heard of such a position being created by a large company, but it is a sign of our times. He also shared some wonderful examples of recent Generative AI applications at Coca-Cola.
Many senior people whom I met acknowledged that they had, in earlier years, overestimated the short-term impact of shiny new tech-things such as metaverse, NFTs and cryptocurrency. However, in the case of Generative AI, they have a clear view that this is not a fad which will fade away. On the other hand, it is a transformative mainstream development comparable to the start of the internet.
Search for big ideas
The best marketing campaigns I saw in Cannes, including the ones that walked away with the most prestigious Grand Prix and Gold Lions, were inevitably the product of simple, bold ideas that dovetailed beautifully into the core of the brand. Outstanding campaigns such as “My Japanese Railway” from Dentsu Japan, Adidas’ Runner 321 created by FCB Toronto, Dove’s #TurnYourBack created by Ogilvy London in partnership with David Madrid, and India’s own “Cadbury Celebrations Shah Rukh Khan – My ad” stood out for being novel, impactful and so beautifully crafted. All these four campaigns won the Grand Prix. Please do see them online whenever you can.
These and many other campaigns brought to mind my biggest single-line takeaway from this festival, which was from Alessandro Manfredi, Chief Marketing Officer for Dove at Unilever. He told us — “We need to make our brands unmissable.” That requires a constant search for big ideas.
Strategy = sacrifice
The best campaigns I saw were also based on narrow strategies that highlighted one and just one sharp point that the brand wishes to make. For instance, Apple’s advertisement film “The Greatest” is a longish two minute spot which showcases only the brand’s innovative accessibility features. It also uses an all physically challenged cast to make this point very powerfully. We know that Apple products have many interesting features, but this film is all about acknowledging the challenges that come with disability, and how the brand can help. It stays totally focused on this narrowly defined objective.
Tor Myhren, Apple’s Vice President of Marketing Communications, made this point very compellingly when he said that strategy is all about sacrifice, about giving up everything that is not of the essence for that particular marketing campaign. He went on to say, “The best strategies are very narrow. Make them so narrow that they can dance on the head of a pin.” That is sound advice for marketers who are tempted to say a little more every time their brand speaks.
Express emotions
What advice will I carry back to young Indian marketers from Cannes? I think the best I heard this year was from Scott Galloway, Professor of Marketing and bestselling author. He urged young marketers to immerse themselves totally in the specific area that they like. “Express interest,” he said, “express emotion. Take risks every day. Make friends. Take chances. Tell your parents that you love them.” I thought I saw him break down a little bit when he said this, particularly the last bit.
I totally endorse Prof Galloway’s sentiments. To be a very successful marketer, you have to know how to express emotion, because great brands are built on emotion. The best speakers in Cannes expressed emotion fearlessly, and it resonated with us. And yes, you have to take risks, because bold new ideas and moves inevitably entail risks.
Though I have bid goodbye to Cannes, I think I will remember my lessons from there for a long, long time.

SADA, kada se bliži polovici 50-ih, Jennifer Aniston izgleda jednako dobro kao i kada se prvi put pojavila u Prijateljima prije gotovo 30 godina. Kako joj to uspijeva?
Iako ima dovoljno novca da si priušti najbolje od najboljeg kada su u pitanju zdravlje i ljepota, slavna glumica tvrdi da je stvar u dobrim navikama koje joj pomažu da ostane zdrava.
“Radi se o dugovječnosti. Privilegija je ostariti, ali ne moramo se razboljeti. Želim uživati u godinama u kojima jesam i ne gledati na starenje kao na nešto negativno, već kao na privilegiju. Svi starimo”, izjavila je.
Glumica je ranije govorila o tome koliko se dobro osjeća nakon vježbanja: “Brinem o svom tijelu, endorfini mi rastu, a krv kola žilama.”
U intervjuu za Vogue otkrila je i da se ujutro suzdržava od gledanja u telefon. Ne koristi ga prvih sat vremena nakon buđenja.

“To čini veliku mentalnu razliku koja utječe na cijeli dan. Punjače držim u ladici, šest metara udaljenoj od svog kreveta, i imam mali stari iPhone koji koristim samo za alarme i aplikacije za spavanje”, objasnila je.
Društvene mreže općenito smatra toksičnima pa ih se kloni. Kada su kozmetički proizvodi u pitanju, ne surađuje ni s jednim brendom kojem sama ne vjeruje.
“Ne želim biti zaštitno lice nečega ako to nije dio moje dnevne rutine. To mi je jako važno”, rekla je.

UREĐENJE doma može biti prilično zabavno iskustvo – posebno ljubiteljima uređenja interijera. Razgledavanje ponuda, slaganje Pinterest boardova, stavljanje stvari u košaricu (bilo fizičku ili online) opuštajuće je iskustvo za mnoge, ali konačni iznos često može pokvariti zabavu.
Stoga, idealno vrijeme za kupnju je onda kada cijene padnu, kao npr. sada kada su stigla zimska sniženja u gotovo sve trgovine, pa tako i one za dom. Modna sniženja smo već pokrili, a sada ćemo se fokusirati na komade za dom. Bilo da ste u potrazi za nekom sitnicom ili većim komadom, sada je idealno vrijeme za nabavku.
Mnoge trgovine poput Lesnine, Emmezete, Prime, Manga, Reserveda, Zare i drugih snizile su cijene raznim komadima za dom. Pregledali smo njihovu ponudu i izdvojili deset komada za koje smatramo da se isplate ugrabiti na ovom sniženju.
U Emmezeti nam se prilično svidio ovaj trosjed u nježnoj ružičastoj boji kojem je cijena snižena za 29% pa sada košta 460 eura.
Tepisi znaju biti prilično skupi pa ih se isplati kupiti na popustu. Nama se svidio ovaj marke Dieter Knoll kojem je cijena snižena za 54% pa sada košta 60 eura. Dimenzije su mu 80 x 150 cm, a možete ga naći u Lesnini.
Servis za jelo može biti i jako dobar poklon nekome za useljenje, ali svakom kućanstvu dobro dođe i jedan ekstra. Ovaj 28-dijelni bijele boje našli smo na sniženju u Lesnini, cijena mu je snižena za 37% pa sada košta 75 eura.
U Primi se može naći dosta komada na sniženju, a nama je za oko zapela ova kuhinja blok. Ima 260 cm, a dolazi u krem boji. Idealna je za manje prostore poput apartmana ili vikendica. Cijena joj je snižena za 51% pa sada košta 619 eura.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
U H&M-u se može naći dosta manjih komada za dom na sniženju, a mi izdvajamo ovu vješalicu za vrata crne boje. Ovakve vješalice zgodan su način za pohranu ručnika, ali i odjeće. Cijena joj je snižena za 52% pa sada košta 15.99 eura.
Posteljina može biti prilično skupa stavka, a valja imati više setova u ormaru. Idealno za napraviti zalihe je kada je na sniženju. Mi smo ovu našli u Mangu i odmah nas je osvojila, taman je idealna za nadolazeće proljeće. Dolazi u više veličina, a popust ovisi o odabranoj.
Još malo tanjura, ali kad im nismo mogli odoljeti. Ove smo našli u trgovini Reserved, a cijena im je snižena za 35% pa sada koštaju 26 eura. Osim ovog u ponudi imaju različite veličine i namjene tanjura s ovim uzorkom. Baš su divni!
Dobra rasvjeta ključan je detalj kod uređenja doma, a nama se svidjela ova koju smo našli na sniženju u Zara Home trgovini. Inspirirana je svjetiljkama iz 60-ih godina, a ima jednobojnu završnu obradu i šire postolje na dnu. Cijena joj je snižena za 38% pa košta 30 eura.
Isto u Zara Home trgovini, zaljubili smo se u ovaj naslonjač. Krasi ga okvir od jasenova drva, tapecirana lanena tkanina, a cijena mu je snižena za čak 42% pa sada košta 199 eura.
I završit ćemo ovaj popis s blagovaonskom stolicom marke Canett koju smo našli na rasprodaji u internetskoj trgovini Bonami. Cijena ove sive stolice snižena je za 25% pa sada košta 223 eura.

Besides, the market regulator in a late night Friday order also imposed a penalty of ₹10 lakh on Sanjay Chandra, Hitendra Malhotra, another director of the company, and Deepak Bajaj, a director at Unitech Realty Investors (India) Pvt Ltd and a nominee of Unitech Advisors on the investment committee of the fund house. That means, the total amount should be paid jointly and severally by them would be ₹1.20 crore, said SEBI.
SEBI has found a number of violations by the fund house including investing investors’ monies in its group companies, made bad investment decisions, and still not returned the money of a majority of its investors.

They have also been barred from accessing the securities market either directly or indirectly for two years. Besides, these individuals have been barred associating themselves, directly or indirectly, with any SEBI registered intermediary, including SEBI registered funds such as Mutual Funds, AlternativeInvestment Funds, Portfolio Management Services, etc. which deal with investors’ money in any manner for two years.
A further penalty of ₹10 lakh (also to be paid jointly) has been imposed on Hitendra Malhotra and Deepak Bajaj for failure to redress investors‘ grievances.

SEBI has also slapped a penalty of ₹10 lakh each on the fund house’s three trustees Vijay Tulshyan, Mahesh Kumar Sharma and Rakesh Dhingra. They were barred from taking new assignments as Trustees of Alternative Investment Fund of any category for a period of one year, SEBI order said.
“The direction for winding up and for providing exit to investors/unit holders does not preclude the investors/unit holders of the fund to pursue other legal remedies available to them under any other law, against the fund and/or the Noticees regarding their investment or deficiency in service before any appropriate forum of competent jurisdiction,” SEBI further said.
“It took a lot of hard work to do this campaign. I think I aged a bit while de-aging Kapil Dev,” exclaims Dheeraj Sinha, CEO, Leo Burnett South Asia, ecstatic after winning the gold for Airtel 175 Replayed at Cannes Lions.
In the Brand Experience and Activation category at Cannes, four campaigns from India were shortlisted. Airtel 175 Replayed for Airtel by Leo Burnett, The Responsible Manhole for TVS Motors by Dentsu Creative, The Everything book for Vedantu by Dentsu Creative and Suraksha Teeka for Mortein by Dentsu Creative.
While EA Sports and Apple secured the Grand Prix in the category for putting the fictional AFC Richmond team from the TV show Ted Lasso into FIFA 2023 computer game, Indian entry Airtel 175 Replayed from Leo Burnett struck gold.
After the win, Dheeraj Sinha told businessline, “This is about giving India a part of its cultural (cricket) history that was lost. For the launch of future-led 5G services of Airtel, we used technology to recreate our past. We worked with Oscar-winning, post-production set up, DNEG, to de-age Kapil Dev. We recreated the stadium and the crowds of that time and mapped human data to recreate each of the shots that got played that day. By recreating Kapil Dev’s 175-run innings from 1983, we brought back our past to launch the future of technology. Because any technology is as useful as the human interaction it facilitates.”
Even the launch of the campaign was futuristic. As Sinha says, “This content was launched by Kapil Dev himself via his hologram for an audience of social personalities and influencers. What a way for people to get an experience of what future technology can enable.”
On the win, he says, “I am so glad that this project got massive recognition at the global stage such as Cannes Lions, a testimony that we are now creating world-class ideas for our brands from India.”
KAŠALJ je sasvim normalna pojava koja pomaže u čišćenju naših dišnih puteva od raznih mikroba i viška sluzi. Ipak, uporan i dugotrajan kašalj može biti vrlo neugodan, a i ukazivati na brojna zdravstvena stanja koja je potrebno liječiti.
No kašalj uzrokovan prehladnom ili gripom možemo pokušati izliječiti i prirodnim putem. Evo nekoliko prirodnih pripravaka koje možete napraviti u kućnoj radinosti, koji provjereno pomažu kod kašlja i nadraženog grla.
1. Grgljajte slanu vodu
Ako je vaš kašalj uzrokovan bakterijskom infekcijom, slana voda ga može izliječiti. Pomiješajte pola žlice kuhinjske soli u čaši mlake vode, a pripravak možete popiti dva do tri puta dnevno. Ipak, ako je riječ o virusnoj infekciji, sol neće biti od pomoći.
2. Pijte čaj s đumbirom
Znanstveno je dokazano da đumbir pomaže u smanjenju kašlja i umirivanju nadraženog grla. Također, njegov korijen ima protuupalna i antioksidativna svojstva. Možete kupiti čaj u vrećicama ili sami skuhati korijen đumbira te mu dodati med i limun.
3. Dodajte med u tekućinu koju pijete
Med djeluje umirujuće na gornje dišne puteve, uklanja peckanje i škakljanje u grlu te djeluje protuupalno.

4. Uzmite jednu žlicu maslinovog ulja dnevno
Mnoga istraživanja pokazala su da ekstra djevičansko maslinovo ulje ima važnu ulogu u liječenju infekcija i zaraznih bolesti. Kod oralne primjene stvara zaštitni sloj i podmazuje bolno grlo. Isto tako olakšava kašalj te smanjuje osjećaj iritacije u grlu.
5. Jedite probiotike
Svi znaju da su probiotici dobri za zdravlje crijeva, ali također imaju ulogu u sprječavanju prehlade i smanjivanju kašlja.
6. Uzimajte sirup od luka
Sirup od luka često se daje djeci. Luk, naime, dokazano razrjeđuje sekret i tako pomaže u rasterećivanju pluća. Odavno se koristi u narodnoj medicini kao lijek protiv prehlade. Za sirup će vam trebati jedan crveni luk i tri jušne zlice smeđeg šećera u prahu. Luk ogulite, narežite na ploške, stavite na tanjur i pospite šećerom pa ga pustite da odstoji kako bi pustio sok.
7. Stavljajte obloge od gorušice
Gorušica potiče cirkulaciju krvi šireći kapilare. Držanje obloga na prsima pomaže otvoriti dišne puteve, čime se olakšava iskašljavanje i oslobađanje sluzi. Trebat će vam jedna jušna žlica samljevenih sjemenki gorušice, 4 jušne žlice brašna i malo maslinovog ulja. Samljevene sjemenke pomiješajte s brašnom, ulijte malo vode i napravite pastu. Nanesite tanak sloj na pamučnu krpu te dodajte nekoliko kapi maslinovog ulja. Oblog držite na prsima 15 minuta.

PUT DO SRCA vašeg kućnog ljubimca ne ide samo kroz igračke i poslastice, polovica vlasnika mačaka i pasa kaže da je fizički dodir jezik ljubavi njihovog ljubimca.
Istraživanje provedeno na 2000 vlasnika mačaka i pasa pokazalo je da oni govore jezikom ljubavi svojih ljubimaca tako što ih maze (njih 83 posto), grle (62 posto) i ljube (55 posto).
Sljedeći najpopularniji jezik ljubavi za kućne ljubimce je kvalitetno provedeno vrijeme s njima (27 posto), što uključuje dopuštanje četveronožnom prijatelju da spava u vlasnikovom krevetu (62 posto) i vlasnikovo vođenje svog ljubimca sa sobom (40 posto).
Hrana kao jezik ljubavi
Anketa koju je proveo OnePoll je otkrila da je hrana također jezik ljubavi, a vlasnici, njih 53 posto, žele svojim kućnim ljubimcima osigurati visokokvalitetne obroke. Njih 47 posto brine o zdravlju i prehrani svojih četveronožnih prijatelja, a 32 posto ispitanika se trudi svojim ljubimcima dati raznovrsnu prehranu.
Nevjerojatnih 95 posto vlasnika ljubimaca vjeruje da njihov ljubimac zna koliko je voljen. Gotovo dvije trećine (62 posto) vlasnika kućnih ljubimaca vjeruju da imaju isti jezik ljubavi kao njihov kućni ljubimac.
Ispitanici tvrde da im njihovi ljubimci daju naklonost tako što ih prate cijeli dan (65 posto), spavaju pored njih u krevetu (58 posto), daju poljupce (48 posto). Gotovo polovica (47 posto) vlasnika kućnih ljubimaca vjeruje da ih njihov ljubimac doživljava kao najboljeg prijatelja, a 42 posto se slaže da na isti način doživljava i svog ljubimca.
Vlasnici stavljaju prehrambene navike svojih ljubimaca ispred svojih
Drugi svog ljubimca doživljavaju kao dijete (38 posto), dok 37 posto ispitanika smatra da ih ljubimac doživljava kao roditelja. Zapravo, ta je ljubav toliko duboka da bi sedam od 10 (69 posto) ispitanika žrtvovalo vlastitu prehranu kako bi osiguralo kvalitetniju hranu za svog ljubimca. Trenutačno 87 posto ispitanika vjeruje da je njihov ljubimac oduševljen prehranom.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Ali da su ispitanici bili na mjestu svojih ljubimaca, oko polovica (48 posto) vjeruje da bi mogli preživjeti jedući isti obrok svaki dan, više puta dnevno tijekom najviše tri mjeseca.
“Sa 69 posto ispitanika koji su spremni staviti prehrambene potrebe svojih ljubimaca ispred svojih, podaci jasno pokazuju koliko važnu ulogu igraju kućni ljubimci u životima njihovih ljudi. Ne samo da vlasnici kućnih ljubimaca govore jezikom ljubavi svojih ljubimaca, oni rade i više od toga kako bi pružili optimalnu njegu i prehranu kako bi svojim ljubimcima osigurali najzdraviji i najsretniji život”, rekla je dr. sc. Heather Acuff, direktorica istraživanja i razvoja tvrtke Nulo.
Vlasnici pokleknu i nahrane ljubimca nakon samo 10 minuta njihovog moljakanja
Kad nastupi glad, potrebno je manje od 10 minuta moljakanja prije nego što vlasnici pokleknu i nahrane svog ljubimca. Na pitanje zašto hrane svog ljubimca prehranom kojom ga hrane, ispitanici vjeruju da njihov ljubimac uživa u tome (50 posto), znaju da su sastojci visokokvalitetni (35 posto) i da je to unutar njihovog budžeta (29 posto).
U procjeni je li to ispravna prehrana ili ne ispitanici kod svojih ljubimaca gledaju na redovitu stolicu (59 posto), spavaju li njihovi ljubimci dobro (50 posto), koliko im je krzno glatko (50 posto) i razinu energije tijekom dana (49 posto).
“Hranjenje vašeg ljubimca visokokvalitetnom hranom jedan je od najvažnijih načina na koje mu možete pokazati ljubav. Kućni ljubimci nemaju mogućnost izraziti svoje preferencije u hrani i prehrani, tako da je na nama kao vlasnicima da osiguramo da hrana koju nudimo udovoljava njihovim prehrambenim potrebama, da je visoke kvalitete i da nudi izvrstan okus i raznolikost. Nema sumnje da je hrana jedno od najvažnijih ulaganja u kvalitetu života naših ljubimaca”, rekla je Acuff.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
UREĐENJE doma može biti prilično zabavno iskustvo – posebno ljubiteljima uređenja interijera. Razgledavanje ponuda, slaganje Pinterest boardova, stavljanje stvari u košaricu (bilo fizičku ili online) opuštajuće je iskustvo za mnoge, ali konačni iznos često može pokvariti zabavu.
Stoga, idealno vrijeme za kupnju je onda kada cijene padnu, kao npr. sada kada su stigla zimska sniženja u gotovo sve trgovine, pa tako i one za dom. Modna sniženja smo već pokrili, a sada ćemo se fokusirati na komade za dom. Bilo da ste u potrazi za nekom sitnicom ili većim komadom, sada je idealno vrijeme za nabavku.
Mnoge trgovine poput Lesnine, Emmezete, Prime, Manga, Reserveda, Zare i drugih snizile su cijene raznim komadima za dom. Pregledali smo njihovu ponudu i izdvojili deset komada za koje smatramo da se isplate ugrabiti na ovom sniženju.
U Emmezeti nam se prilično svidio ovaj trosjed u nježnoj ružičastoj boji kojem je cijena snižena za 29% pa sada košta 460 eura.
Tepisi znaju biti prilično skupi pa ih se isplati kupiti na popustu. Nama se svidio ovaj marke Dieter Knoll kojem je cijena snižena za 54% pa sada košta 60 eura. Dimenzije su mu 80 x 150 cm, a možete ga naći u Lesnini.
Servis za jelo može biti i jako dobar poklon nekome za useljenje, ali svakom kućanstvu dobro dođe i jedan ekstra. Ovaj 28-dijelni bijele boje našli smo na sniženju u Lesnini, cijena mu je snižena za 37% pa sada košta 75 eura.
U Primi se može naći dosta komada na sniženju, a nama je za oko zapela ova kuhinja blok. Ima 260 cm, a dolazi u krem boji. Idealna je za manje prostore poput apartmana ili vikendica. Cijena joj je snižena za 51% pa sada košta 619 eura.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
U H&M-u se može naći dosta manjih komada za dom na sniženju, a mi izdvajamo ovu vješalicu za vrata crne boje. Ovakve vješalice zgodan su način za pohranu ručnika, ali i odjeće. Cijena joj je snižena za 52% pa sada košta 15.99 eura.
Posteljina može biti prilično skupa stavka, a valja imati više setova u ormaru. Idealno za napraviti zalihe je kada je na sniženju. Mi smo ovu našli u Mangu i odmah nas je osvojila, taman je idealna za nadolazeće proljeće. Dolazi u više veličina, a popust ovisi o odabranoj.
Još malo tanjura, ali kad im nismo mogli odoljeti. Ove smo našli u trgovini Reserved, a cijena im je snižena za 35% pa sada koštaju 26 eura. Osim ovog u ponudi imaju različite veličine i namjene tanjura s ovim uzorkom. Baš su divni!
Dobra rasvjeta ključan je detalj kod uređenja doma, a nama se svidjela ova koju smo našli na sniženju u Zara Home trgovini. Inspirirana je svjetiljkama iz 60-ih godina, a ima jednobojnu završnu obradu i šire postolje na dnu. Cijena joj je snižena za 38% pa košta 30 eura.
Isto u Zara Home trgovini, zaljubili smo se u ovaj naslonjač. Krasi ga okvir od jasenova drva, tapecirana lanena tkanina, a cijena mu je snižena za čak 42% pa sada košta 199 eura.
I završit ćemo ovaj popis s blagovaonskom stolicom marke Canett koju smo našli na rasprodaji u internetskoj trgovini Bonami. Cijena ove sive stolice snižena je za 25% pa sada košta 223 eura.

London, Dec 31 (AP) Arsenal fell to a second straight loss with a 2-1 defeat at Fulham on Sunday, missing out on a chance to end the year atop the Premier League table. Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead after just five minutes, but the visitors were toothless after that as Raul Jimenez equalized in the first half and Bobby De Cordova-Reid poked in the winner in the 59th. Arsenal topped the standings at Christmas but enters 2024 in fourth place after this defeat followed its first home loss of the season against West Ham United on Thursday. A win at Fulham would have lifted Mikel Arteta’s team provisionally above leader Liverpool in a tightly packed top four. But, the Gunners have won just one of their last five league games and this was perhaps the most listless performance in that stretch. Arteta will have to ponder whether to look for attacking reinforcements in the January transfer window after his team struggled to create quality chances after its early goal – even after switching to a back three with two strikers up front for the last 20 minutes. Year Ender 2023: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Game-Changing Transfer Reshapes Football Landscape, a Glimpse Into the Evolution of Saudi Pro League.
Gabriel Martinelli did the hard work for the opener, running with the ball from within his half before cutting into the area and curling a low show toward the far post that Bernd Leno could only divert into the path of Saka, who just had to stick his foot out to turn in the rebound. But, Fulham responded well and had already missed a couple of decent chances to score by the time Jimenez met a low cross from Tom Cairney and beat David Raya with a first-time effort in the 29th. It was Jimenez’s fourth goal in his last four league games — equaling his tally from the previous 50. Premier League 2023–24: Manchester City Ends Historic Year on High With 2–0 Win Over Sheffield United; Nottingham Forest Beats 2–1 Manchester United.
Fulham continued to look dangerous when going forward De Cordova-Reid put the hosts ahead after Arsenal failed to clear a corner and the ball fell to the winger to poke home from close range. Saka had a chance to equalize in the 63rd when the ball fell to him in the area but he volleyed well high. Arsenal didn’t have an effort on target in the second half until a scuffed cross from Saka in injury time fell harmlessly to Leno. And, that was despite striker Gabriel Jesus coming off the bench in the 67th to partner Eddie Nketiah up front as Arteta opted to play with just three defenders. Instead, Fulham came closer to a third as Raya had to be at full stretch to stop a shot from Cairney in the 71st and Andreas Pereira smashed a free kick against the crossbar in the 87th. (AP)

NEW DELHI: The year 2023 proved lucky for Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan led the way with “Pathaan” and “Jawan”.
However, amidst high expectations, there were also some big titles that failed to capitalise on the great theatrical boom of Hindi movies post pandemic, ultimately falling flat at the box office.
Here is the list of some of the major hits and misses of 2023.
“Pathaan” and “Jawan“: With the two action titles, Shah Rukh made a triumphant return to leading man roles after a gap of four years.
“Pathaan”, directed by Siddharth Anand, released in theatres in January and shattered many box office records in the opening weekend and ended its theatrical run with a towering gross box office collection of over Rs 1,050 crore.
It also starred Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, “Jawan”, a high-octane action entertainer from Tamil director Atlee.
The pan-India film, which also featured Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi, turned out to be an even bigger hit, grossing Rs 1,150 crore globally to become the biggest hit of SRK’s career.
“Animal“: It was one of the most memorable years of Ranbir’s career with the actor delivering the third biggest but also the most divisive film of 2023 in “Animal”, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of “Kabir Singh” fame.
The film drew criticism for its graphic content, extreme violence, and treatment of female characters but since its release on December 1, it has earned over Rs 880 crores in worldwide gross.
“Gadar 2“: A sequel to 2000 hit “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha”, the Anil Sharma-directed film reintroduced Sunny Deol to mass audiences.
The movie, which released in August, turned out to be a surprise hit of the year with over Rs 680 crore in worldwide collection, according to trade websites.
Sunny, 66, reprised his role of Tara Singh in “Gadar 2”, set years after the events of the first movie.
“Tiger 3“: Salman Khan returned as super spy Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger in the third part of his eponymous movie franchise.
Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film was released in November.
Despite coming in theatres around the time of Cricket World Cup, the movie grossed over Rs 460 crore in worldwide collection.
It also starred Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi.
“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani“: Karan Johar’s seventh full-fledged feature not only became one of the highest grossing films of the filmmaker’s career, but is also his most talked-about and progressive movie till date.
Released in July, the movie grossed over Rs 355 crore.
“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” featured Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt with great supporting acts by the likes of cinema veterans Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi as well as actors Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly and Aamir Bashir.
Misses
“The Vaccine War“: After the controversial-yet-highly-successful “The Kashmir Files”, Vivek Agnihotri released “The Vaccine War” in theatres in September.
The movie revolved around Indian scientists and their quests to develop an affordable vaccine for India and the world.
It earned Rs 14 crore at the box office, according to trade websites.
“Tejas“: Kangana Ranaut had another forgettable year as “Tejas”, which featured her as an Indian Air Force pilot, turned out to be a colossal disappointment at the box office.
It was released in theatres in October and managed to earn around Rs 8 crore, trade websites reported.
“Bholaa“: Trade pundits were betting big on Ajay Devgn’s “Bholaa”, the Hindi remake of Tamil hit “Kaithi”, but the audiences gave the film a cold shoulder.
The film, which released in cinemas in March, earned over Rs 120 crore, just enough to cover its making cost.
It was directed by Devgn and also starred Tabu.
“Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan“: Before “Tiger 3”, Salman had another big release in “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan”, which made its debut in theatres in April, coinciding with the festival of Eid.
Despite being headlined by a Bollywood superstar, the film underperformed at the box office, earning around Rs 180 crore.
The movie, which was a remake of Tamil superstar Ajith’s hit movie “Veeram”, also starred Pooja Hegde and Venkatesh Daggubati.
“Adipurush“: The Om Raut-directorial, headlined by “Baahubali” star Prabhas, was one of the most anticipated titles but was plagued by many controversies.
It was released amid much fanfare in June, registering a bombastic score of over Rs 300 crores in the opening weekend.
But poor reviews, coupled with a huge row over its poor dialogues and VFX, took a toll on the movie as it recorded a huge dip in numbers and footfalls in theatres.
The film, also starring Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon, eventually grossed around Rs 390 crores, according to trade websites.

Did the Wakhri idea strike you at the time of her death? What was the approach you decided to take in fictionalizing the character?
