Emma Thompson smanjila je odjeću za dva konfekcijska broja u samo šest tjedana

EMMA Thompson danas slavi 65. rođendan. Glumica, poznata po ulogama u filmovima The Love Actually, Cruella, kao i u franšizi o Harryju Potteru, izgleda bolje nego ikad. Glumica je ranije nosila veličinu 42, koju je zamijenila odjećom veličine 38. Ono najvažnije je da nije bila na dijeti niti je jela pomodnu hranu poput chia pudinga. Umjesto toga, angažirala je osobnu trenericu i dijetetičarku princeze Kate, Louise Parker, kako bi je dovela u formu.

Taj potez nije bio jeftin. Prema pisanju Daily Maila, šestotjedni program košta 5300 eura, ali nakon njega Thompson je izgubila impresivnih 8 kilograma.

“Sviđa mi se što njezina metoda nije dijeta i što je istinski održiva, pa mogu popiti čašu vina”, otkrila je Thompson.

Uz svakodnevne vježbe otpora, Louise je napravila prilagođeni prehrambeni plan za Emmu Thompson. Glumica se također morala vagati svaki tjedan te mjeriti tjelesnu masnoću i mišićnu masu.

Četiri ključna cilja Louiseina plana su: dobrobit i san, prehrana, tjelovježba i mentalna pozitivnost. To znači da skrolanje po društvenim mrežama na telefonu i gledanje filmova prije spavanja zamijenite čitanjem knjige.

Thompson je također dobila upute da u danu pojede tri obroka, od kojih svaki mora sadržavati proteine, ugljikohidrate s niskim glikemijskim indeksom i malu količinu zdravih masti, plus dva međuobroka.

Prodaje li Shein imitaciju luksuzne kozmetike? Vizažist misli da da

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.

SHEIN je već godinama izuzetno popularna platforma za kupovinu jeftine odjeće, modnih dodataka, kozmetike, ukrasa za dom i svega ostaloga što vam srce poželi. Platforma uporno raste, no unatoč brojnim Shein haul videima, mnogi su skeptični ne samo oko kvalitete proizvoda već i načina na koji se do proizvoda dolazi.

Uslijed tužbi zbog kršenja autorskih prava i nehumanih uvjeta rada Shein je neprestano u centru kontroverzi. Vizažist i influencer Robert Welsh primijetio je kako Shein odnedavno nudi i luksuzne brendove na svojoj stranici. No to mu je bilo sumnjivo pa je odlučio istražiti jesu li ti proizvodi legitimni ili imitacije.

“Sad ću vjerojatno biti opreznija”

Welsha je na to potaknuo prijatelj koji mu je dojavio da je na Sheinu našao brojne luksuzne brendove po punim cijenama. Među brendovima su Estée Lauder, Nars, Laneige, La Mer, Tom Ford, Rimmel i drugi kozmetički brendovi.

“Zapitao sam se bi li ovi dobro etablirani brendovi prodavali svoje proizvode na Sheinu”, rekao je Welsh. “Iako čak i Asos nudi luksuzne brendove, a oni su krenuli sa samog dna. Bili su mala trgovina, a sad prodaju velike brendove. Radi li Shein isto?” zapitao se.

Pokušao je naručiti proizvod i primijetio da je Shein u ovom slučaju samo posrednik za StrawberryNET, na kojem kupci mogu pronaći brojne ukinute proizvode. No nakon što je kontaktirao StrawberryNET, iznenadio ga je njihov odgovor: “Nemamo nikakvo partnerstvo sa Sheinom.”

Komentatori su također izrazili sumnjičavost prema Sheinu: “Shein je nedavno ukrao umjetnost moje prijateljice i prodao je kao naljepnice”, “Ništa ne kupujem od Sheina, Wisha, Temua i drugih. Ne smatram ih moralnima”, “Nikad ne bih kupovala imitacije”, “Vrlo sam povjerljiva i ništa ne bih posumnjala da sam vidjela high-end brendove na nekoj stranici. Sad ću vjerojatno biti opreznija”, “Ako vidim luksuzne brendove na fast fashion stranici, pretpostavim da su imitacije”.

“Jeftina šminka nije loša. Lažna šminka je loša”

Welsh je kontaktirao i Estée Lauder kako bi provjerio je li Shein ovlašten za prodaju njihovih proizvoda. Tvrdi kako su mu iz brenda odgovorili da je njihove proizvode najsigurnije kupovati iz ovlaštenih trgovina te da Shein nije ovlašteni trgovac Estée Lauder brenda. No nisu znali reći jesu li proizvodi imitacije ili ne.

Zbog svega ovoga Welsh vjeruje da proizvodi na Sheinu nisu legitimni, već da su u pitanju imitacije: “A ako su lažni, imajte na umu da su potencijalno opasni.” Na kraju je podsjetio: “Jeftina šminka nije loša. Lažna šminka je loša.”

Na TikToku su mišljenja podijeljena

Inače, Welsh nije ni prvi ni jedini kojemu su high-end brendovi na stranici Sheina sumnjivi. Isto su se zapitali brojni tiktokeri. I dok nekima naručena šminka djeluje legitimno, drugi nemaju pozitivne dojmove.

“Treba provjeriti batch kodove ili datume proizvodnje kako bi se utvrdilo jesu li proizvodi autentični. Usporedi i broj nijanse na korektoru s originalnim Nars korektorom”, “Vidjela sam jučer i nisam sigurna jesu li proizvodi pravi. Moram znati”, “Shein se ne bi provukao s prodajom lažnjaka. Prema mojim istraživanjima, sve je legitimno”, neki su od komentara ispod objava.

Priyanka Chopra praises cousin Parineeti’s film ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’

MUMBAI: Bollywood actors Priyanka Chopra, Triptii Dimri, and others are showing their appreciation for Imtiaz Ali’s latest film, ‘Amar Singh Chamkila.’

Priyanka took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday to praise the film and its cast. She posted a film poster rating on her feed and congratulated Imtiaz Ali, Diljit, Parineeti (whom she affectionately calls Tisha), and the team, saying it looks impressive.

She wrote, “Congratulations Imtiaz sir, Diljit, Tisha and the team. Looks so good (sic).”

Helmed by Imtiaz Ali, ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ presents the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses, who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the 80s due to the sheer power of his music, angering many along the way, which led to his assassination at the young age of 27.

Diljit portrays ‘Chamkila,’ the top-selling artist of his era, who rose from poverty to immense fame in the 1980s through his powerful music. Parineeti essays the role of Amar Singh Chamkila’s wife Amarjot Kaur.

Ahead of the release, Parineeti shared a heartwarming video of herself grooving to their iconic track ‘Pehle Lalkare Naal.’

In the captivating video, Parineeti can be seen in her vanity van, preparing for her day, while being serenaded by the soulful melodies of

Amar Singh Chamkila and Amarjot.

Sharing the video with her fans, Parineeti expressed her reverence for the iconic duo, stating, “Whatta song! Chamkila and Amarjot are the legends the world will never get again.”

‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ is streaming on Netflix from April 12.

Indian Indices crack amid West Asia crisis

Indian equities extended losses for a second straight day as Israel weighed its response to a direct attack by Iran.

Shares fell across Asia. Gold held firm even as oil prices inched lower on hopes the diplomatic efforts would curtail a larger conflict in West Asia.

  • Also read: Analysts remain bullish on asset management companies

Foreign investors sold India shares on Monday, taking their net sales to over ₹12,500 crore over four days.

The Sensex slid 845 points or 1.14 per cent to 73,399. The Nifty settled at 22,272, 1.1 per cent lower. Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 Indices fell 1.55 per cent and 1.70 per cent, respectively. Three-fourths of NSE components declined.

Major sectoral indices witnessed selling pressure, with PSU bank and media indices shedding nearly 2 per cent. Shriram Finance, Bajaj Finserve and Wipro were the top Nifty losers, shedding over 2 per cent each. ONGC was the top gainer, up 5.3 per cent.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said: “Geopolitical tensions and higher-than-expected US inflation impacted investor sentiment and dragged the indices to a lower note. The major casualties were the mid- and small-cap indices due to their rich valuation and expectation of moderation in earnings growth in Q4FY24.”

  • Also read: Sensex, Nifty tank over 1% on concerns over Middle East conflict, weak global trends

BofA Global Research hinted at a later start to rate cuts by the US Fed while assigning a lower probability to a hike this year. Following yet another upside surprise to inflation in March, the research house now expects rate cuts to start in December rather than June. It has pushed the 2026 terminal rate estimates higher by 50 basis points to 3.5-3.75 per cent.

India’s trade deficit narrowed to a 11-month low of $15.6 billion in March. Merchandise exports and imports in March stood at $41.68 billion and $57.28 billion, respectively.

The short-term trend of Nifty continues to be weak. The next lower levels to be watched are around 22,000, with immediate resistance at 22,400, said analysts.

Lok Sabha elections 2024: Young turks on social media

With just a few days to go for the first phase of #GeneralElections2024 to begin, every politician worth his salt or her sugar is out campaigning. Physically and virtually.

In this column, I’ll explore how some first-time Lok Sabha aspirants are using social media/digital platforms to campaign and steal an early march over their rivals. And what are the dos and don’ts. (This is not a comprehensive survey. Readers are free – and encouraged – to update this conversation with their choices. Especially from the remote corners of this vast country.) 

Typically, political candidates use social media for reach and nothing else — frequently, there is little effort to even create original content. This sometimes works when the politician is already a well-known celebrity, but probably doesn’t when it’s a first timer with not much of a fan following.

The savvier politicians engage with constituents, share their political positions and campaign promises and mobilise supporters. Platforms like X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp (above all), besides allowing candidates to reach a wide audience quickly, also lets them respond directly to voter concerns, participate in public discourse and manage their public image. I think the last is far more important than the others. The candidate is usually too busy to engage, in the classic digital sense. In India, image, or rather perception, is everything.

Here are a few Lok Sabha aspirants that I’ve been following and think are doing a pretty good job of using social media/technology.

Kangana Ranaut (BJP candidate, Mandi): She is one of the few candidates who was (in)famous much before the 2024 elections were a blip on the horizon. Not surprisingly, Kangana is way ahead in the game when it comes to Instagram videos. Every reel looks like a blockbuster trailer — very engaging. Her team tries hard to create narratives, not just press release type clips. Having a subject that can emote at the drop of a hat helps. Incidentally, she called Instagram dumb, once — the same Insta she’s rocking, with 9.7 million followers.

Saira Shah Halim (CPI(M) candidate for South Kolkata): She is pitted against heavyweight candidates from Trinamool and BJP, Mala Roy and Debasree Chaudhuri respectively. This is a David and Goliath situation — two Goliaths in fact — and she’s already stolen a march over her rivals by two things: One, she has been a prominent face on national TV panel discussions for many years, so is already a known face; and two, most of her campaigning is door-to-door, street-by-street — this live content is immediately snapped up by the ‘comrade army’ to create on-the-fly, DIY videos for targeted social media audiences — even local TV channels. Neat!

Madhavi Latha (BJP candidate from Hyderabad): She aims to do a giant killer act on AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi. A cursory glance at her social media handles will tell you she’s doing more than random posts of rallies. Her team is using her handles to drive fans to her live events, recruit volunteers through Google forms, cross post podcasts and interviews from YouTube (including the Aap ki Adalat episode which the PM praised) and more. She’s a killer at vertical videos it seems. Owaisi is far ahead in the numbers game though. He has millions of followers compared to Madhavi’s relatively low figures.

Ravindra Singh Bhati (Independent, Sheo constituency, Barmer): He is a bit of an oddball, outside the BJP-Congress binary in Rajasthan. Bhati has a huge social media presence (2.2M on Insta) and is often referred to as the “Modi of Marwar”. Frankly, his content is terrible but somehow works — look at the kind of adulation he gets from students on social media. A post with a cut-out of a crude newspaper clipping gets 3,20,000 Likes. He breaks all the rules but has a die-hard fan following. Crazy.

Yusuf Pathan (Trinamool candidate from Behrampore): He is a good example of how NOT to do social media. His team treats social media as a college bulletin board, posting pics of his social engagements. He hasn’t gotten off the cricket cloud — IPL, not Lok Sabha, seems to be the priority. Whether he wins or loses, it will have nothing to do with social media. Some of you might say, his constituency is not on social media — but that’s not true, digital penetration in Murshidabad is quite good.

I’ll sign off with a word of unsolicited advice to candidates who might be reading this. You are an aspiring brand, so tell stories. In the end, people connect with human stories, not (just) snapshots of rallies.

Ova superhrana smanjuje rizik od raka i doprinosi dugovječnosti, pokazuju studije

PREHRANA igra važnu ulogu kada je u pitanju naše zdravlje. Ima veliki utjecaj na cjelokupno zdravlje i dobrobit, a za neke se namirnice zna da povećavaju ili smanjuju rizik od određenih stanja ili bolesti. To uključuje dvije vrste hrane za koje znanstvenici tvrde da bi mogle imati veliki utjecaj na potencijalno smrtonosne bolesti, smanjujući rizik od demencije, raka i bolesti srca.

Redovito dodavanje ovih namirnica u prehranu moglo bi nam čak pomoći da živimo duže, pokazuju istraživanja. Kako izvještava The Times, supernamirnice koje bismo trebali češće jesti spadaju u dvije vrste hrane: lisnato povrće i orašaste plodove.

1. Zeleno lisnato povrće

Zeleno lisnato povrće uključuje namirnice poput špinata, kelja, kupusa i zelene salate. Smatraju se osnovnom hranom za mozak zbog esencijalnih hranjivih tvari, uključujući vitamin K, lutein i folat, te niza korisnih biljnih flavonoida. Također su izvor nitrata, spojeva koje tijelo pretvara u nitrit, koji opušta i širi krvne žile kako bi se potaknuo protok krvi u srce, mozak i mišiće.

Nutricionisti s Sveučilišta Rush u Chicagu otkrili su da dnevna porcija lisnatog povrća usporava kognitivni pad povezan sa starenjem.

Ljudi koji su jeli dvije ili više porcija obično su pokazivali sposobnost pamćenja i prisjećanja kao netko tko je 11 godina mlađi. Prošle je godine velika studija koju je podržao Svjetski fond za istraživanje raka, a u kojoj je sudjelovalo više od 70.000 ljudi, pokazala da dnevna doza lisnatog povrća može pomoći u smanjenju rizika od raka crijeva za čak sedam posto.

Istraživači s Instituta za istraživanje prehrane Sveučilišta Edith Cowan u Australiji pokazali su da dnevna porcija lisnatog povrća pomaže u “značajnom smanjenju rizika od krvnog tlaka i kardiovaskularnih bolesti”, u studiji na gotovo 3.000 ljudi.

2. Orašasti plodovi

Samo 20 grama orašastih plodova dnevno (ekvivalentno šaci) moglo bi donijeti niz zdravstvenih dobrobiti. Znanstvenici s Imperial Collegea u Londonu i Norveškog sveučilišta za znanost i tehnologiju zaključili su da ljudi koji jedu orašaste plodove mogu smanjiti rizik od srčanih bolesti za gotovo 30 posto, raka za 15 posto i prerane smrti za 22 posto.

Pregled 29 studija iz cijelog svijeta pokazao je da svakodnevna konzumacija orašastih plodova smanjuje rizik od umiranja od bolesti dišnog sustava za polovicu te od dijabetesa za gotovo 40 posto.

Studija je zaključila: “Veći unos orašastih plodova povezan je sa smanjenim rizikom od kardiovaskularnih bolesti, ukupnog raka i smrtnosti od svih uzroka te smrtnosti od bolesti dišnog sustava, dijabetesa i infekcija.”

Neobična intervencija na zagrebačkoj Trešnjevci. Spašen pjegavi daždevnjak

DJELATNICI Dumovca imali su neobičnu intervenciju na zagrebačkoj Trešnjevci.

“Ovaj je pjegavi daždevnjak s Trešnjevke spašen u zadnji tren! Ljudi su ga opazili u jednom vodomjernom oknu na Selskoj cesti. Možda mu je ono inače ugodno mjesto za život, no neobično visoke proljetne temperature isušile su šaht što je ugrozilo duguljastog vodozemca”, napisali su iz skloništa za životinje.

“Zato smo ga preuzeli, pregledali te pustili na mjesto u prirodi gdje mu je voda u blizini. Podsjetimo, pjegavi daždevnjak je strogo zaštićena vrsta životinja. Obožava vlagu i vodu. Najaktivniji je noću, no iz skrovišta izlazi i danju ako pada kiša. Za razmnožavanje mu je potrebna voda jer se njegove ličinke razvijaju upravo u vodi”, dodali su.

“Idealno stanište mu je šuma. Planinari ga znaju viđati na Medvednici kako izviruje ispod vlažnog lišća i hladnog kamenja”, poručili su.

Nedavno lansiran GameBoy emulator povučen zbog kršenja autorskih prava

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.

NEDAVNO je lansiran iGBA, emulator koji dopušta igranje igara za Game Boy Advance na iPhoneu. Emulator je bio dostupan na App Storeu, no u kratkom je roku povučen. Primarni, ali ne i jedini, problem je navodno kršenje autorskih prava od strane programera Mattie La Spina. Naime, Apple tvrdi kako iGBA uopće nije njegova aplikacija.

Programer Riley Testut kontaktirao je The Verge i rekao kako je iGBA neovlaštena kopija GBA4iOS-a, open-source emulatora koji je on kreirao za iOS prije više od deset godina, a nedavno ga je obnovio za Vision Pro. Rekao je da njegova aplikacija koristi GNU GPLv2 licencu. Korisnik Mastodona otkrio je da iGBA ne navodi tu licencu, što može kršiti njene uvjete.

“Razočaran sam”

Apple je povukao iGBA zbog kršenja smjernica vezanih uz autorska prava i neželjenu poštu. Prema klauzuli 5.2, programeri bi trebali distribuirati samo sadržaji koji su sami stvorili ili za koji imaju licencu za korištenje. U protivnom, aplikacija može biti uklonjena.

Testut je za The Verge izjavio kako ga je u cijeloj situaciji najviše isfrustrirala činjenica da je aplikacija relativno brzo odobrena i stavljena u AppStore: “Već mjesecima surađujem s Appleom na pokretanju AltStorea kao alternativne trgovine aplikacija, i razočaran sam što su odobrili kopiju glavne aplikacije Delta AltStorea u tom vremenskom periodu”.

Drugi problem s iGBA-om je taj što prikuplja podatke koji se mogu koristiti za identifikaciju korisnika, uključujući lokacijske podatke. Neki korisnici Reddita su pak prijavili kako ih je aplikacija tražila pristanak za praćenje ugrađenog preglednika, no Wes Davis s The Vergea nije vidio nikakvu obavijest ili formular vezano uz prikupljanje podataka prilikom pokretanja aplikacije.

Highest Team Totals in IPL History: SRH’s 287 in Indian Premier League 2024 and Other Top Totals

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have smashed the highest total in the history of the Indian Premier League, scoring 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 15. With this, SRH broke their own record of posting the highest team total in IPL history, bettering their previous effort by 10 runs. The Pat Cummins-led side had earlier scored 277 against Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders got close to breaking it by scoring 272. Here is the list of the top 5 highest team scores in the IPL. Fastest Centuries in IPL History: Chris Gayle, Travis Head, Yusuf Pathan and Other Batsmen Who Dominate the All-Time List of Quickest Hundreds.

Sunrisers Hyderabad 287/3 Against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024

Sunrisers Hyderabad have smashed a massive 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024 on April 15. Being put to bat first, SRH rode on a 41-ball 102 from Travis Head and quickfire knocks from Heinrich Klaasen (67), Aiden Markram (32) and Abdul Samad (39).

SRH 277/3 vs MI in 2024

SRH recorded the highest team total in the IPL history when the orange army posted a 277-3 total against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen were at their destructive best with the bat. Head set the tone by smashing an 18-ball fifty inside the powerplay. Abhishek was merciless against the bowlers while Klaasen and Aiden Markram completed the scoring for SRH, giving them a record-breaking total.  

Royal Challengers Bengaluru 263/5 vs Pune Warriors India in 2013

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) now hold the record for the greatest team total in IPL history. In 2013, they scored 263/5 against Pune Warriors India (PWI). It was the same match in which Gayle struck an unbroken 175 at Pune’s MCA Stadium, the best individual score in league history. RCB won that match by a whopping 130-run margin. List of Centuries in IPL 2024: Batsmen With Hundreds in Indian Premier League Season 17.

Lucknow Super Giants 257/5 vs Punjab Kings in 2023

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are in third place with a team total of 257/5 against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2023. The PBKS scored 201 runs at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali but ultimately lost by 56 runs. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru 248/3 vs Gujarat Lions in 2016

The Chennai Super Kings are fifth in the list after failing to meet the 250-point threshold. Murali Vijay was at his lethal best in the game, scoring a century and leading his team to 246/5 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In that same game, however, Naman Ojha struck 94 for the Royals and Shane Watson 60 as the men in blue nearly chased down the mark, reaching 223/5 but fell by only 23 runs.

In its 125th year, McDowell’s joins the single malt party with a wine-forward batch

There was homage to history. There was homage to grapes and wine and misty hills. There was homage to Indian capability. Last week, when the world’s largest selling whisky brand, McDowell’s, launched a single malt, the colour purple — in all its hues, from pale lavender to deep burgundy — dominated the room. An apt colour to denote that the origin of the McDowell’s & Co Distiller’s Batch Indian Single Malt (yes, that’s what it is called) was from a distillery in the wine capital Nashik.

In its 125th year, McDowell’s has joined the ‘Made-in-India’ single malt party. Actually it did make one attempt earlier some 27 years ago, but at that time single malts had not yet found favour with the Indian palate. Now, as Ruchira Jaitley, the CMO of Diageo, which got the McDowell’s brand post its acquisition of USL, points out, the time and context is right. “We are in the 125th year of McDowell’s, a brand created for India by a Scottish gentleman (Angus McDowell) who wanted to get the best liquids into India. Fast forward to around 70 years ago, when McDowell’s began manufacturing in India. Today, we are unlocking the case to those beautiful archives,” she says.

Wine-Forward

Describing the creation of the single malt, Chief Innovation Officer Vikram Damodaran says he was clear about one thing. It had to have a distinctive new character. “A lot of people romance the hills, but we didn’t want that,” he says. So, instead, this single malt romances the grape and the terroir of the Nashik distillery, one of its largest units, with a capacity of 6,000 litres per day. “The malt distillation plant at Nashik is huge and the mastery of the craft of distillation there is perfect,” says Damodaran.

The packaging is an ode to the terroir of the wine region with deep purple tones, a golden map and veiled peaks that denote it has risen from the mists of the Sahyadri. “Being wine country, we have access to the best wine casks and marry them into the single malt to give a mellow finish. It is a wine-forward whisky,” he says. The distilled drink is first matured in bourbon and virgin Oak casks and then in Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz casks unique to the Sahyadri terrain. “I would call it the ideal transition whisky — for those moving from blended to single malts,” said Hemanth Rao, founder of the Single Malt Amateur Club, who was roped in to co-create the spirit.

The positioning is super premium. “Exceptional liquid has to be super premium,” says Jaitley. Only 6,000 bottles are available in this batch. Pricing is in line with Godawan, the other Made-in-India single malt from the Diageo portfolio.

Why such a limited edition? “This is only the beginning,” promises Damodaran, harking back to the story of McDowell’s first ever distillery in India, which was in Kerala in Cherthala on the banks of the Vembanad Lake. There are more stories of heritage and romance waiting to be written.

Popularni orašasti plod štiti vid, a pomaže i kod problema s erektilnom disfunkcijom

PISTACIJA je jedini orašasti plod koji osigurava lutein i karoten, dva antioksidansa koji igraju važnu ulogu u zaštiti naših očiju kako starimo. Osim toga, sadrži zeaksantin, flavonoide i beta-karoten, koji su povezani s nižim stopama mentalnog opadanja povezanog sa starenjem.

Svakodnevna konzumacija pistacija smanjuje vjerojatnost obolijevanja od katarakte ili gubitka vida. Također, riječ je o namirnici bogatoj cinkom koji pomaže u održavanju dobrog noćnog vida.

No, to nije sve. Pokazalo se da redovita konzumacija neslanih pistacija pomaže u smanjenju rizika od kroničnih i degenerativnih bolesti koje mogu rezultirati razvojem dijabetesa. Porcija od 35 grama pistacija ekvivalentna je istom unosu antioksidativnih tvari kao i šalica zelenog čaja.

Saveznik je u mršavljenju

Pistacije su izvrstan izvor proteina. To ih čini zdravim i zasitnim međuobrokom koji može pomoći u gubitku viška kilograma. Osim toga, pistacija ima puno vlakana što uvelike pridonosi jačanju probavnog sustava.

Najzanimljivija dobrobit ove namirnice je njezin pozitivan učinak na probleme s erektilnom disfunkcijom. Studiju je provela Sveučilišna bolnica Atatürk i istraživački centar u Ankari, u Turskoj, a objavljena je u časopisu Nature te je pokazala pozitivne rezultate u tom području.

While speaking to ANI, the actress highlighted her profound admiration for Indian heritage and craftsmanship during her attendance at the fashion event. “I always wanted to wear something handwoven which symbolises our heritage and culture… The best part about the Banarasi saree is that the weavers weave only one saree of a kind.

Mali AntunTun traži savršenu obitelj, volonteri za njega kažu da je zaigran i umiljat

MAČIĆ AntunTun okoćen je negdje početkom veljače ove godine i traži savršeni dom u kojem će odrasti i uživati. Štićenik je udruge Prava šapa, iz koje mu žele pronaći zauvijek dom, poželjno u mačjem društvu, sve kako bi živio život kakav zaslužuje.

“AntunTun je pronađen uz potok na zapadnom dijelu grada. Riječ je o bebici koja ne može preživjeti surovost ulice, ali niti neće morati. AntunTun traži dom za zauvijek. Nije plašljiv, pitom je, umiljat i jako, jako zaigran. Prije udomljenja razmislite imate li živaca za nestašluke jednog mačića, za oštre kandže, za tisuću puta reći ‘ne’, za iskopanu zemlju iz tegli, za potrgane zavjese i ogrebane ruke. Sve vas to čeka dok ne odraste. 

Minijaturan je, ali svuda se može popeti, neustrašiv je, aktivan i veseo. Bilo bi idealno kad bi u novom domu imao mlađe ili aktivnije mačje društvo za igru. Nije za dom s djecom vrtićke dobi”, dio je objave koji je objavljen na Facebook stranici udruge. 

Svi zainteresirani za preslatkog mačića, neka se jave udruzi Prava šapa.

Ne bacajte stari mobitel. Prenamijenite ga

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.

MNOGI svoj mobitel mijenjaju jako često samo zato što je na tržištu dostupan novi, zanimljiviji model ili im je pak tek dosadio stari. Neki će nakon toga svoj stari mobitel prodati, neki ostaviti u kutiji za rezervu, a neki će ga baciti. Ovo zadnje je svakako najmanje održiva opcija. Vaš stari mobitel može biti vrlo koristan, a može u potpunosti zamijeniti neke uređaje na koje biste bezveze bacili novac.

Kućna sigurnosna kamera

Nema potrebe da kupujete sigurnosnu kameru ako imate mobitel viška. Na svoj stari i novi mobitel preuzmite neku od brojnih aplikacija za sigurnost, a stari mobitel zatim postavite tamo gdje biste inače koristili kameru. Samo pripazite da uređaj ima pristup napajanju. Novi će vam mobitel služiti za gledanje onoga što se događa tamo gdje ste postavili stari mobitel, odnosno improviziranu kameru.

Dajte ga djeci

Ako još uvijek niste spremni djetetu kupiti telefon, dajte im svoj stari uređaj. Ne trebate ga povezati na internet niti čak umetnuti SIM-karticu. Mnoge aplikacije, poput kamere, rade i bez toga. Uz pomoć starog uređaja dijete možete polako uhodavati u pametno korištenje mobitela i učiti ga mjerama opreza pri korištenju.

Mobitel kao igraća konzola

Volite mobilne igrice? Svoj stari mobitel rezervirajte za njih, piše PC Mag. Sve što vam je potrebno su puna baterija i povezanost s internetom. Također, Xbox Cloud Gaming omogućuje vam streamanje igara s Xbox Game Passa na vaš telefon, a PC igrači mogu koristiti Steam Link za igranje putem interneta.

Uređaj za video chat

Ako puno komunicirate putem video-aplikacija kao što su Zoom, Meet ili Teams, vaš stari mobitel može poslužiti kao sučelje za videopozive. Ovo je pogotovo korisno ako niste jedini u kućanstvu koji često obavljaju videopozive.

Bežična web kamera

Ako nemate web kameru za stolno računalo ili kamera vašeg laptopa nije u dobrom stanju, vaš stari mobitel će uz odgovarajuću aplikaciju postati web kamera koju ćete bežično povezati s računalom. Trebate samo preuzeti aplikaciju na telefon i računalo, a zatim povezati dva uređaja. Ovo je puno jeftinija mogućnost od kupnje nove kamere.

Iskoristite ga kao budilicu

Ako ste razmišljali o tome da nabavite posebnu budilicu, a imate mobitel koji ne koristite, neka on bude vaša budilica. Već znate da budilice na mobitelu imaju sve mogućnosti koje su vam potrebne. Deinstalirajte sve aplikacije koje možete da vam vaša nova budilica ne bude distrakcija prije spavanja i to je to.

Rezervni daljinski za pametni TV

Ako posjedujete pametni TV, vrlo vjerojatno je došao s vlastitim daljinskim upravljačem. No, svi smo barem jednom doživjeli da ga ne možemo pronaći baš kad nešto hitno moramo stišati ili promijeniti program. Tu vam može pomoći vaš stari mobitel. Preuzmite aplikaciju koja se spaja s vašim pametnim TV-om, povežite se na svoj račun i to je to.

A kad smo kod TV-a, stari mobitel možete koristiti i za streamanje sadržaja s mobitela.

ISL 2023–24: FC Goa Wraps Up League Campaign With Stellar Win Over Chennaiyin FC

FC Goa have confirmed at least a third-place finish in the 2023-24 season of the Indian Super League (ISL), following a remarkable 4-1 victory over Chennaiyin FC at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Sunday, to wrap up their league campaign and ahead of the impending ISL Cup playoffs.

Borja Herrera, Carlos Martinez (twice) and Brandon Fernandes scored to hand the Gaurs a comeback win after Chennaiyin FC took the lead through Rahim Ali in the 13th minute. ISL 2023–24: NorthEast United FC End Campaign on High Note Following Win Over Odisha FC.

A failed attempt at a clearance by Narayan Das saw the ball bounce off of Jiteshwor Singh and fall into Ali’s path. The 23-year-old, in turn, beat his marker and unleashed a shot from the right side of the box accurately into the near post, past goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh. They could have doubled their advantage only three minutes later, but Irfan Yadwad’s header from a cross by Conor Shields struck the crossbar and was cleared away, much to the relief of the home team’s fans.

With Owen Coyle’s boys threatening to take the game away from them, FC Goa intensified their efforts in search of an equaliser. It was almost as if they knew that all they had to do was regain control and get the scoresheet back on level terms. And that is exactly what happened, following Borja’s close-range strike in the 33rd minute. Just five minutes later, the Men in Orange took the lead after Martinez sent Chennaiyin FC shot-stopper Samik Mitra the wrong way to score from the penalty spot.

In the third minute of added time after 45 minutes, Goa skipper Brandon opened his account for the league season with a beautiful goal. After playing a clever one-two with Noah Sadaoui, he received the ball back from the Moroccan, took a deft touch to get past a defender and slotted it home right through the ‘keeper’s legs to make the score 3-1 in favour of the hosts.

Following the change of ends, Manolo Marquez’s boys looked a lot refreshed and in charge of the proceedings, surely thanks to their two-goal cushion. In the 61st minute, they almost added a fourth to their tally when Martinez attempted a shot from just outside the box, which took a deflection and went just inches off the post.

It took just nine more minutes for the Spaniard to redeem himself. Substitute Udanta Singh showcased his ability by dribbling past a defender and playing the perfect pass to his teammate in the centre of the six-yard box, for him to casually place it into the far corner of the net beyond the reach of a diving Mitra. This also proved to be the last decisive action of the clash, which thus ended 4-1 in favour of FC Goa. I-League 2023–24: Runners-Up Sreenidi Deccan Earn Full Points Against Shillong Lajong FC.

The Men in Orange will now wait till full-time at Monday’s Mohun Bagan Super Giant – Mumbai City FC encounter to see if they can climb to second place on the points table and ensure direct qualification to the semi-finals. Currently tied with Mohun Bagan on 45 points, Goa can finish second by virtue of a better head-to-head record, if the Kolkata outfit suffers a defeat to the Islanders. Any other result would mean the Gaurs would remain in third place and play a single-leg playoff game to try and qualify for the last four.

'Woh Bhi Din The' sees light after a decade of dilemma and despair

NEW DELHI: Woh Bhi Din The, starring Ashvin Matthew, Rohit Saraf, Adarsh Gourav, and Sanjana Sanghi, was shot almost a decade ago. Needless to say, the actors didn’t have any expectations about the release, till a few weeks ago when they got the news that the movie had finally got a release date. The movie is currently streaming on ZEE5.

Bengaluru-based actor Matthew reveals the news was a pleasant surprise for all of them. He plays the character of Alex Matthew, the class teacher and English teacher in this teen drama. It’s a bunch of mixed emotions for him to see his performance from 10 years ago. “I would play it more naturally now. I wouldn’t have to do much ‘acting’ because I am now at the age of the character,” he quips.

If Alex Matthew reminds you of Father Vincent, his character from English Vinglish (2012), then the actor says there is nothing uncanny about it. “I got a call for this character because of English Vinglish. For my audition, I recited a poem and explained some lines from it,” he says about the movie that was shot in Jamshedpur.

The beauty of a well-made high-school drama is that it teleports you to your growing years. “What I identified with the film was the fact that these kids had good teachers like I did, which really changed my life,” says Matthew.

Helmed by Sajid Ali, the brother of acclaimed director Imtiaz Ali, and produced by actor-producer John Abraham, the film is being received quite well by the audience. The fact that the film still faced the hurdle of finding a platform to be released speaks a lot about how the movie business works. “The reason why John Abraham didn’t sell the film is because he didn’t get the money that he wanted and no one believed in it.

So he just shelved it. He knew that it was just a matter of time because some of the kids would become famous and there would be a market for it sometime in the future. Seems to have paid off,” says Matthew, adding, “Even I’m doing the same thing now. The movie that I directed is a feminist thriller and a lot of distributors don’t believe that the audiences want to watch a film that has heroines and no heroes. But it’s a question of finding that one person who believes in you and is ready to take a chance.”

Matthew points out the problem is never viewers since ‘there’s always an audience for any kind of movie’. “The problem has always been the gatekeepers, the distributors, or those who take the decisions. For the longest time, they’ve been buying Rs 250-crore action movies which flop. They offer Rs 40 lakh and Rs 2 crore for the smaller films because they think bigger ones will make more money for them.

When those flop, they change their attitude,” says Matthew, adding that he could see the change in attitude of people towards regional cinema. However, the change is not free of biases. “Now finally, they’re going towards content-driven films, but then again, they’re choosing specific languages. ‘Oh, Kannada… not required, Malayalam maybe…’. The people who make the decisions also have to evolve,” he signs off.

Most PMS schemes beat Nifty in FY24

The majority of portfolio management services (PMS) schemes outperformed the benchmark Nifty 50 and BSE 500 in financial year 2024 amid a rally in mid and small-cap stocks. As much as 80 per cent, or 264 of the 324 schemes, were able to beat the returns generated by Nifty, data from PMS Bazaar show. The schemes delivered average returns of 45.2 per cent, higher than the 30.1 per cent delivered by Nifty.

  • Also read: Inflows into equity MF schemes jump 25% to ₹1.86 lakh cr in FY24

As much as 56 per cent of the schemes outperformed the BSE 500, which returned 40.2 per cent. Only 30 schemes, however, were able to beat the returns of 70 per cent given by Nifty Smallcap 100 in FY24.

Invasset’s Growth Pro Max Fund, a multi-cap strategy, was the top performer in FY24 with returns of 128.5 per cent, followed by Green Lantern Capital’s Growth Fund (110.8 per cent) and Asit C Mehta Investment Intermediates’ Ace -Multicap (102.7 per cent).

Worst performers

Marcellus’s Little Champs, a small-cap strategy, was the worst performer with returns of 0.3 per cent. Ambit Investment Advisors’ Emerging Giants and Eklavya Capital Advisors’ Long Term Value were the other two schemes near the bottom with returns of 11.5 per cent and 13.4 per cent, respectively.

Most of the PMS schemes tend to adopt concentrated portfolios, which can work both ways. If a few of the calls go wrong, it can hit the overall performance. In 2018-19, a number of wealthy individuals migrated from mutual funds to PMS in search of alpha. Many of the PMS schemes, barring the top-performing ones, had struggled to deliver alpha in the following years.

PMS investors are at a little disadvantage vis-a-vis mutual funds on the taxation and fees front. Investors have to pay an additional tax of 0.6-0.8 per cent on the PMS schemes vis-a-vis equity MFs since all transactions happen on their respective trading accounts. In certain cases, they have to shell out profit shares to the manager if returns are over a certain hurdle rate.

PMS schemes managed ₹26.9 lakh-crore under the discretionary portfolio, ₹2.6 lakh-crore under the non-discretionary portfolio, and ₹2.7 lakh-crore under advisory, latest regulatory data showed. The PMS segment invests money on behalf of well-off individuals. The minimum investment that regulations allow is ₹50 lakh.

On the campaign trail. – The Hindu BusinessLine

The start of the financial year has seen brands get off to a great start with several good campaigns flooding the screens. Some of these, like Ariel, are annual iterations — a nice touch, for it shows continuity of thought and messaging.

The real star

Online travel firm MakeMyTrip’s latest campaign uses star power rather differently. The stars never show their face. The campaign has four films starring Bollywood’s Bhidu – Jackie Shroff, the God of Dance – Prabhu Deva and the ‘Breathless’ Grammy-winning singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan and two cricketing legends. Each of these personalities are so distinct in their style, voice and attitude that anyone familiar with their work will recognise them even without seeing their face. MakeMyTrip plays on this insight to showcase the platform as the ‘Asli Star’ (real hero) of the campaign, highlighting the benefits of booking hotels and homestays on the platform. Peppered into the ad films are inside jokes for the delight of true fans. Wonderfully quirky and clutter breaking. The campaign has been conceptualised by the creative agency Talented.

Singing Dhoni

Another ad with an inside joke that stands out is EMotorad’s new campaign featuring cricketer MS Dhoni singing ‘Bole Jo Koyal’ while riding an e-cycle. The video is an ode to the meme that went viral in 2019 and featured a Mahi look-alike grooving to Bole jo Koyal. The brand wanted to bring the same meme to life, by getting Dhoni to sing the song while educating customers about their e-cycles. In the ad, Dhoni is seen riding a T-rex Air EMotorad e-cycle even as two animated koyals admire his ride. The ad scores as it captures a new facet of Thala Dhoni!

Handwash rap

How do you get kids to inculcate the habit of handwashing? Throw in some hip hop and rap and make it a fun activity. Savlon’s new campaign for the Swasth India Mission promoting the habit of handwashing is endearing and appealing. Created by Ogilvy India, it has brought together the children of The Dharavi Dream Project, an NGO, and rap artist Emiway Bantai who has penned a handwash anthem ‘Haath Dhona Cool Hai’ to encourage hand hygiene. Bantai, popularly knows as King of the Streets, has used the cultural nuances of hip hop to compose the handwash anthem that has kids grooving to its beat. This is hacking culture to spread an important message in a fun way.

A strong home team

This is the ninth year in a row Ariel India has come out with a campaign that urges more men to #ShareTheLoad. In Ariel’s latest film, ‘HomeTeams #ShareTheLoad,’ the focus is on reiterating household chores as a collective responsibility through the story of Aisha, a professional balancing her career and home responsibilities. Aisha’s apprehension about leaving for a work trip in Singapore reflects a common dilemma for women, who often worry about their partners’ ability to handle household chores. The dilemma gets resolved when her husband overhears a conversation between Aisha and her boss on the phone and steps up.

Free stays

Cricket season is upon us, and OYO has a contest for fans, the reward being 6,000 free stays across its premium properties. OYO’s Free Stays League campaign invites cricket fans to participate in a daily prediction challenge. Participants who correctly predict the winner of each match in the ongoing T20 tournament will be entered into a daily draw. As a part of this campaign, OYO has launched an ad film which playfully addresses those who might try to leverage personal connections for a free stay. The light-hearted ad features characters boasting about their (fictitious) connections with OYO founder and CEO Ritesh Agarwal. Well played.

Devilish idea

Trust Onida to come up with a devilish idea to push its air conditioners. Its summer campaign Thande Dimaag ki Soch, conceptualised by Onads Communications, shows an underdog cricket team facing a formidable opponent. However, the home team’s coach vanquishes the opponent by making them dream of rushing back to the cool confines of the dressing room and thus getting out quickly. Good to see the iconic Onida Devil from the 1980s revitalised again.

Uniform opportunity

Fabric stain removal brand Vanish has launched a new campaign #VanishTheDifference for its new fabric whitener, Vanish Crystal White. The campaign tells the story of a young boy who is displaced from the front of a line and pushed back as his shirt is no longer white and lacks brightness. A dull uniform can become a cause for discrimination. With this campaign, Vanish focuses on spreading the message that uniforms should never become a reason for loss of opportunity for any child, by making uniforms, uniform again. It has been conceptualised by Havas Worldwide India.

Glitz and glam

Bharti Airtel’s ‘Xstream Fiber’ is glitzy and entertaining in keeping with the showy content it is promoting. Directed by filmmaker Ram Madhvani and Equinox Films, the campaign made in collaboration with ad agency Fundamental brings to life the abundance of entertainment choices available through Airtel Xstream Fiber. Characters from beloved shows across various OTT platforms, including Netflix, Prime Video, and more, burst onto the scene, accompanied by a captivating soundtrack showcasing the seamless integration of OTT platforms and TV channels. Though watchable, it does not touch the exalted heights of Madhvani’s Har Ek Friend film for Airtel.

Ova jednostavna promjena u dnevnoj rutini može značajno smanjiti krvni tlak

POKUŠAVATE li sniziti krvni tlak? Svaki dan malo manje sjedite i mogli biste vidjeti iznenađujuće rezultate, kažu stručnjaci. Novo istraživanje sugerira da manje sjedenja može učiniti čuda za naše zdravlje.

U JAMA Open Network prošlog mjeseca objavljena je studija koja je promatrala 283 starije osobe u dobi od 60 do 89 godina, koje su podijeljene u dvije skupine: intervencijsku i kontrolnu.

Članovi kontrolne skupine bili su uključeni u deset susreta s trenerom koji im je pomogao postaviti ciljeve za zdraviji život. Članovi intervencijske skupine dobili su stajaći radni stol i uređaj za praćenje fitnessa koji ih je podsjećao na pauze tijekom dugotrajnog sjedenja.

Pokazalo se da je intervencijska skupina smanjila dnevno vrijeme provedeno u sjedećem položaju za oko 32 minute, dok kontrolna skupina nije iskusila nikakve promjene u količini sjedenja. Također, krvni tlak ispitanika intervencijske skupine bio je smanjen, što sugerira da samo 30 minuta manje sjedenja dnevno može poboljšati zdravlje kardiovaskularnog sustava.

Znanstvenici su zaključili da su u populacijama s većim rizikom od kardiovaskularnih bolesti i povezanih zdravstvenih ishoda, male promjene u obrascima sjedenja dovoljne za poboljšanje njihovog krvnog tlaka.

Pas obožava ići u staju i igrati se s konjem, simpatičan video pogledali milijuni

CAROLINE Nørgaard Winter je na TikToku podijelila simpatičan videozapis svog psa koji s njom često odlazi u staju i posjećuje njezinog konja. Objavljeni videozapis, koji je dosad pogledan 1.6 milijuna puta, prikazuje što sve njezin simpatičan i zaigran labrador radi kad ugleda konja.

Videozapis ima dva dijela. Prvi dio pokazuje da labrador dolazi u staju s igračkom za povlačenje i igra se s konjem, a u drugom dijelu istog tog konja vodi vani. Izgleda kao da ga slatki labrador pokušava izvesti u šetnju. Mnogi koji su pogledali video komentirali su da im je jako simpatičan odnos između dvije životinje te su istaknuli koliko je konj nježan i oprezan prema vidno manjem psu.

“Super mi je kako se konji uvijek mogu sprijateljiti s drugim životinjama”, “Ovaj pas živi za igranje s ovim konjem”, “Najslađi dvojac na internetu,” “Najtolerantniji konj na svijetu”, neki su od komentara.

Ram Charan received the honour at the 14th convocation ceremony of the university. This recognition places him in the esteemed company of previous recipients like Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and filmmaker S Shankar.

On the professional front, Ram Charan is currently busy with two of his upcoming projects: Game Changer and RC 17. While Game Changer marks the RRR actor’s first collaboration with Shankar, RC 17 will have him share screen with Janhvi Kapoor.

A slew of new fund offers – time to take a deep look

Even as the primary market is buzzing with activity, mutual fund is not far behind, thanks to a vibrant secondary market. With most benchmarks from BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 to SmallCap/MidCap hitting new highs, fund houses are launching new products to capitalise on the momentum across sectors, themes and market-capitalisation.

For instance, Tata Mutual has launched six mutual funds – Tata Nifty 500 Multicap 50:30:20 Infrastructure Index Fund, Tata Nifty MidSmall Healthcare Index Fund, Tata Nifty Realty Index Fund, Tata Nifty Financial Services Index Fund, Tata Nifty Auto Index Fund and Tata Nifty 500 Multicap India Manufacturing 50:30:20 Index Fund.

As the names suggest, the fund house is targeting various sectors, and across market-cap.

Plethora of offers

Similarly, Bandhan Innovation Fund will invest 80-100 per cent in equity and equity-related instruments following the innovation theme, 0-20 per cent in equity and equity-related securities other than following the innovation theme and overseas securities, 0-20 per cent in debt securities and money market instruments (including government securities, securitised debt), and 0-10 per cent in units issued by REITs & InvITs.

Last month, Baroda BNP Paribas, too, launched Innovation Fund. Others included Canara Robeco Manufacturing Fund; Edelweiss Technology Fund; Kotak Technology Fund; Union Business Cycle Fund; Motilal Oswal Nifty Realty ETF; Motilal Oswal Nifty Smallcap 250 ETF; HDFC Nifty Realty Index Fund; ICICI Prudential Nifty LargeMidcap 250 Index Fund; and Navi Nifty IT Index Fund.

Besides, several fund houses such as Motilal Oswal (MidSmall Financial Services Index Fund, MidSmall Healthcare Index Fund, MidSmall IT and Telecom Index Fund, MidSmall India Consumption Index Fund and Motilal Oswal Quant Fund); DSP Mutual Fund (Bank Index Fund); Bandhan (Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund); Sundaram Mutual Fund (Business Cycle Fund); Groww (Nifty Non-Cyclical Consumer Index); and Mahindra Manulife (Build India Fund) have filed their draft papers (scheme information document) with SEBI.

According to AMFI data, 56 schemes were launched in Q1 of 2024 by fund houses, which included gold (Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund); silver (Tata Silver Exchange Traded Fund); and multi-asset allocation (Bandhan Multi Asset Allocation Fund; Mirae Asset Multi Asset Allocation Fund; and Sundaram Multi Asset Allocation Fund).

Relatively new players such as Groww, Zerodha, Navi and WhiteOak are also very active in launching new schemes.      

With so much frenzy, it would be difficult even for fund houses to manage large flows at a time when almost all the indices are creating new peaks on almost daily basis. In fact, HDFC Mutual Fund — which launched Realty Index Fund between March 7 and 21 — had discontinued fresh subscriptions and capped systematic investment plans (SIPs) within a few days. The fund reopened for ongoing subscriptions and redemptions from April 2 but in a release on April 1, it stated that with effect from April 8, fresh lump-sum investments, including additional purchases and switch-ins, will be discontinued in HDFC Nifty Realty Index Fund.

Tata MF puts it rightly saying the decision to introduce these funds is backed by rising income levels and compelling consumer trends.

Word of caution

Investors should keep in mind that investing through NFO poses the same risk as directly entering stock markets. It may be noted that theme-based funds that invest in a particular sector are riskier than diversified mutual funds. When the going is good, a sector fund may give high returns, but may suffer if any headwinds hurt that sector.

So, investors should assess the risk associated with every scheme, especially when the market is scaling new records. A word of advice from sound SEBI-approved financial advisors will make a huge difference.

Ovo je tamna strana sajma u Benkovcu: “Radi se o 11 pasa. Ne okrećite glavu”

SKLONIŠTE za životinje Privlaka objavilo je tamnu stranu popularnog sajma u Benkovcu.

“2 su otišla na privremeni, možemo li naći ljude za još 9 bebica. Benkovački sajam… 11 štenaca ostavljeno, vjerojatno dva legla! Upravo su ih nalaznici doveli u Sklonište. Sada im treba pronaći mjesto, osloboditi boks, dezinficirati, sve pripremiti… pa onda čišćenje od parazita i sve što slijedi…a ljudi puniii smo, ali nismo ih mogli ostaviti na cesti. Potrebni su privremeni udomitelji/ čuvalice da spasimo svih ovih 11 duša”, objavili su uz fotografije štenaca.

Traže nekoga tko bi se brinuo o štencima makar par tjedana. Sklonište bi osiguralo hranu i sve ostalo.

Takvi slučajevi na benkovačkom sajmu, tvrde, nisu rijetkost.

“Do kada se neće reagirati i do kada će ovaj sajam prolaziti ispod radara! Napuštanje životinje je kazneno djelo, a osobe koje su ostavile pse na sajmu netko je morao vidjeti, primijetiti! Radi se o 11 pasa!! Ne okrećite glavu, ne mislite ‘neću se miješati’ jer na kraju pate samo oni, izbačeni psi. Reagirajte, prijavite, ako treba anonimno!” tvrde.

'Música' movie review: Melody in motion

Musicals demand more suspension of disbelief than other films as characters burst into song and dance from time to time. But, what if it were indeed someone’s everyday life? Prime Video’s Música explores synesthesia—a neurological condition—through the eyes of Rudy Mancuso, who is the film’s writer, director and lead actor. It showcases a world where sight and sound intertwine to create a vibrant symphony.

Rudy plays himself. The story moves forward as he displays the challenges of navigating life with the unique condition, including struggles with focus and finding purpose. The story explores the protagonist’s complex relationships. There’s his mother, Maria Mancuso, who forces him to embrace his Brazilian roots, in love and life.

We also get a glimpse into his time as a marketing student, who does puppet shows in a subway to earn pocket money. He wants to take his musical puppetry to the next level, but he is always out of focus to think further. This initial world-building is rather intriguing and keeps viewers hooked, as it takes them on an immersive experience, with the visuals and background music being as distracting as Rudy feels at all times.

Halfway through the film, however, the fascinating exploration of synesthesia is overshadowed by a predictable love triangle, as he juggles his affection for two women, Haley (Francesca Reale) and Isabella (Camila Mendes). The clichéd plot device digresses the audience’s attention from Rudy’s unique perception of life, nipping Música’s potential for becoming a one-of-a-kind, coming-of-age musical.

Música opens with the intriguing tagline, “Based on a true story, unfortunately”, thereby hinting at a life-altering event for Rudy; perhaps the catalyst for his artistic journey. While the film explores his potential awakening, it is achieved through a familiar rom-com formula, the kind churned out for streaming services every week. Música’s strength, therefore, is not plot but its visual delivery, which is not entirely conventional. And in that way, the film mirrors Rudy’s description of himself, “I am not normal.”

Director: Rudy Mancuso

Genre: Musical

Platform: Amazon Prime

Language: English

The special dividend is declared on account of segregation of the GCC (Gulf Co-Operation Council) business through the sale by Affinity Holdings Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned material subsidiary of the company of entities conducting business in the region to Alpha GCC Holdings Ltd.

The board of Dubai-based Aster DM Healthcare last year had approved the sale of the business for $1.01 billion.

Aligning people, purpose, passions and profit

It’s just over a month since Babita Baruah took charge as the CEO of VML India. For Baruah, who was leading WPP’s Ford business for several international markets and serving as executive director of VMLY&R, Thailand, out of Bangkok, the return to Mumbai has been a homecoming of sorts. She has seen all the avatars of VML — having joined HTA in 1996 and seen it through the JWT, Wunderman Thompson phases, and grown and thrived in the WPP ecosystem.

A champion of gender diversity and inclusivity, Baruah has a warm, approachable and pleasing presence on social media where she showcases her Assamese heritage proudly in a stunning selection of sarees. She says the first 30 days have been a mix of observation, learning and some action. Excerpts from an interview with brandline:

How did your advertising journey start and what have been the key highlights?

I was fresh out of business school in Assam and I wanted to step out of my home State. I had done my MBA in marketing and finance and went to a leading bank in Kolkata for a job. The CMO of the bank told me that I would do very well in advertising, and asked me to talk to HTA and he gave me the lead. And so that was how my journey started. When I told my mom that I had joined advertising, she said, but that is modelling, are you sure? In those days advertising was equal to what you see in magazines or television. I could not explain to her what my job was!

I would call my journey — “a long way home”. It started off with four cities – with Kolkata, then Mumbai, on to Gurgaon and then I moved to Bangkok. Every city brought in some learnings for me, adding to the experience. Whether it was to be innovative or learning to have patience and resilience or to have a never say never attitude. The right amount of assertiveness versus aggression; and as a woman leader, how to be heard. Finally, the multicultural role in WPP when I was in Thailand. I look at the journey as one of experience and learnings and that will help me in the role I have to play here.

You have been with the agency throughout — from its HTA days to JWT to Wunderman Thompson to now VML, which is rare in advertising, where hopping is the norm.

I have always been with the agency but I have moved within the same group, have moved cities and worked on different categories. For me there has always been change, but it has been within the larger ecosystem and largely same agency. Very few people move cities like I have done. It was a mix of professional and personal. But I have gained from it.

I have been lucky that opportunities have come my way. Having set up integrated units to bring in the best of WPP for clients and business, it has now become table stakes because today the world is all about collaboration and integration. But because I have that experience in three cities out of four (Kolkata I was too young) of drawing out the best of what WPP partners have to offer as solutions, while being with one OpCo (operating company), it’s been valuable.

When VML was created, the release said it was to make the agency business simpler. But people — even clients — have expressed a sense of sadness at the Thompson name dropping off. How are you going to address all this?

I look at it as an opportunity when clients and the market have a lot of affinity and equity for one of our OpCos. When it comes to the unification of Wunderman and VMLY&R, that unification is not to kill anything but to take the strength of two OpCos and bring them back as a simplified, seamless, end-to-end journey — which is the need for today.

Therefore, if you look at VML, what is our core proposition? We are bringing in what we call a three pronged strategy — BX (brand experience), CX (customer experience) and commerce.

In today’s world, it is all about brand, it is about customer experience and commerce. The unification has brought together all the strengths of all the OpCoS. Earlier when you walk into a client office, the journey had to stop at a point and move on to someone else, either within WPP or beyond. Now when you walk into a client office as VML, the entire journey stays with us.

The second is seamless experience between brand and creativity with technology. Technology brings solutions, efficiency, connectivity and scale. We are actively bringing all these to the table.

Third is how we walk the talk. These are all propositions. But we have to walk the talk. Along with other VML leaders, it is about how we tailor-make solutions with BX, CX and commerce for the business needs of clients.

What have the first 30 days in VML India been like?

The advertising girl in me (though we are no longer called advertising agencies but growth partners ) thinks in slogans. And the one that comes to mind is — Aligning people, purpose and passions.

The first month has been a mix of observation, learning and also some action. The action has been about integration — How can we align teams, people, purpose and passions. Because, at the end of the day, we are about people. If we are to have one shared vision — #WeAreVML — how do we do that? That first month has been about this vision and it has been exciting.

It has led me to a lot of introspection as well, on how soon can we get the plan of action going. The ambition is to make VML the preferred agency for our clients and talent in India, and that is what I am working towards.

It’s interesting that you refer to advertising as a growth partner business. Advertising has seen so many shifts. How are you addressing competition coming from new companies now ?

If you look at who is really eating into what we were about — smaller agencies and tech companies — then we do need to do a reset, a mindset reset. Sometimes we are used to doing things — strategy, creativity — a certain way, which worked for a while. But we are clear that at VML it is about growth partnerships. All our solutions have to have an outcome. That outcome is about business. Do we love brand buzz? Of course we do. But it has to create a shift in the needle for businesses.

When it comes to technology, VML has been an industry leader in the space of generative AI. From creative output to augmenting workforce, to ideation and accelerating, technology is fundamental to our business now. It is no longer creativity in isolation. I see a differentiation we have, that should put us right up there.

You have championed gender diversity a lot — I remember your She Hour initiative at JWT. Have you seen a shift in how the industry treats women now?

Yes, even at WPP, we have got a lot of women leaders. Not just VML, but Grey, Ogilvy. Things have changed. Not just from the industry or market. But from women themselves who have not dropped off and earned these roles. It’s about merit, who is experienced enough and who has earned it.

She Hour is something that I had started when I was with JWT India. It was just one hour every month. Then it became more frequent as people did not want to wait four weeks. It was one hour when we dropped our designations and connected as women. We spoke about opportunities. We spoke about Network, and having each other’s back. We extended it to other OpCos too. Today, we are part of many other initiatives.

One is Women’s ERG (Employee Resource Group). It’s a collective of people who identify as women, non binary, allies. It is a support system, a forum for mentorship and impacting policy. It’s much more systematised and organised.

Then we have WPP Stella women’s network in India, I am one of the super mentors. It’s a strong mentorship initiative for current and future leaders. I am very happy to be part of these initiatives that help more women to complete the career journey.

In your own journey was the balance difficult?

I have stopped looking for balance. Becauseevery day is an imbalance and those imbalances collectively becomes a perfect balance. There are times when personal issues take priority, in others work does. If you look for that balance always, you will get disillusioned. For me, all the imbalances add up to perfect balance.

Trenerica otkrila koliko vremena tjedno izdvojiti za trening za uspješno mršavljenje

KARDIO vježbe igraju važnu ulogu u mršavljenju i općem zdravlju. Bavljenje kardioaktivnostima poput trčanja, vožnje bicikla, plivanja ili brzog hodanja može pomoći u sagorijevanju kalorija, ubrzati metabolizam i potaknuti gubitak masnoća. Uspješno gubljenje kilograma krije se u sposobnosti stvaranja kalorijskog deficita, što podrazumijeva da kalorije koje se sagore tijekom vježbanja premašuju one koje se unose hranom.

Fitness trenerica Hannah Shine otkrila je koliko je vremena u danu potrebno izdvojiti za kardio vježbe kako bi s vremenom došlo do uspješnog mršavljenja. Trenerica je naglasila da točno vrijeme ovisi o svakom pojedincu, ali postoje opće smjernice kojih se mnogi mogu pridržavati.

Koliko vremena u danu treba izdvojiti za kardio vježbe?

Trenerica Shine ističe da se kod izvođenja kardio vježbi “broj otkucaja srca povećava i tijelo sagorijeva kalorije za energiju. Kao rezultat toga, dosljedni kardio treninzi mogu pomoći stvoriti kalorijski deficit, koji je neophodan za mršavljenje.”

Dodaje da kardiovježbe možda neće biti dovoljne za značajan gubitak težine te da je jednako važno imati uravnoteženu prehranu i vježbati trening snage. Kao vježbe koje ulaze u kardiovježbe, trenerica izdvaja preskakanje užeta, trčanje, plivanje, vožnju bicikla, intervalni trening visokog intenziteta (HIIT vježbe), eliptični trening i druge vježbe.

“Svi ovi treninzi mogu ubrzati otkucaje srca i pomoći u sagorijevanju kalorija, ali važno je odabrati aktivnost u kojoj uživate i kojoj se možete dugoročno posvetiti”, tvrdi trenerica. 

Kada se u pitanje dovode minute koje treba izdvojiti za vježbanje, Shine ističe da “količina kardio vježbi za mršavljenje ovisi o individualnoj razini kondicije, ciljevima i dostupnosti vremena”. No, kao opću smjernicu, trenerica preporučuje “najmanje 150 minuta umjerenih kardio vježbi visokog intenziteta ili 75 minuta intenzivnih vježbi visokog intenziteta, što se može podijeliti na vježbe od 30 do 60 minuta, tri do pet puta tjedno”.

Mikko i Kiša traže udomitelje, glavni uvjet je da u novi dom odlaze zajedno

PREDIVNE mačke Mikko i Kiša traže zajednički dom. Ove mačke su štićenici udruge Devet života, a svoje trenutno vrijeme provode kod tete čuvalice. Cijepljeni su i tretirani protiv parazita, udomljuju se u stan bez izlaska van te obitelj bez vrtićke i mlađe djece. Pogledajte što su o ovom slatkom dvojcu napisali iz udruge:

“Mikko i Kiša traže zajednički, zauvijek dom. Možda nisu svačiji prvi izbor, no Mikko je stara duša, živio je već stotinu puta i zna koliko je ljubav dragocjena. Kiša je nova, čista kao suza. Zajedno su savršen par. Ljubav koja se ne daje za siću, ne daje se za prazna obećanja. Tražimo ljude koji će ih primiti i voljeti takvima kakvi jesu. Malo neispravni, ali puni sreće i nevine ljubavi. 

Mikko je meka srca, a Kiša je tu da ga vodi kroz život i drži za šapu. Bila mu je podrška od prvog trena kad su se još kao bebe upoznali. Ona je predivna, strpljiva i duša joj je vesela. Prava je terapeutkinja. Iako ih oboje volimo, naš je dom pun, a sezona mačića dolazi. Naša misija je da ih othranimo i postavimo na noge te da ih pošaljemo u bolji život nego što su im neki ljudi prije namijenili”, dio je objave na Facebook stranici udruge.

Trebate li dodati lampu u svoj tuš? TikTok kaže da. Evo što trebate znati

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.

VELIKO svijetlo u vašoj kupaonici može biti korisno za obavljanje jutarnjih aktivnosti, ali može narušiti ugođaj kada se pokušavate opustiti noću. Rješenje za to? Dodavanje atmosferske rasvjete u tuš. Ako ste prije mislili da je to nemoguće bez ozbiljnog električnog problema, razmislite ponovno. Jedna TikTok korisnica, @mrsmckennabarry, dijeli genijalni trik koji može transformirati vašu kupaonicu.

Tiktokerica je jednostavno postavila malu kutnu policu u svoj tuš koristeći snažno ljepilo, a na nju je stavila vodootpornu lampu na baterije. Ovaj pristupačan dodatak stvara atmosferu koja podsjeća na spa centar.

Ova ideja oduševila je i druge korisnike TikToka. “Ne mogu vjerovati da imam 43 godine, a nikada nisam razmišljao o ovome. Hvala vam”, “Ovo je tako opuštajuće”, “Zašto nikad nisam razmišljao o ovome? Koristim bljeskalicu telefona koji držim na poklopcu WC školjke”, neki su od komentara ispod njezinog videa.

Dizajneri interijera često preporučuju dodavanje rasvjete u tuš

“Dodavanje rasvjete u tuš omogućuje stvaranje prigušenog i opuštajućeg ambijenta za umirivanje uma”, rekao je Nathan Taylor, dizajner interijera u Obelisk Homeu, za časopis The Spruce.

Ključ za stvaranje ugodne atmosferske rasvjete u kupaonici leži u pametnom odabiru nekoliko izvora mekog svjetla, baš kao i u svakoj drugoj prostoriji vašeg doma. “Kada dodajete rasvjetu, važno je razmisliti o svjetlima koja će naglasiti određene elemente umjesto da obasjaju cijeli prostor”, ističe Taylor.

Nekoliko uobičajenih metoda koje preporučuje za postizanje ugodne rasvjete u kupaonici uključuje postavljanje stropnih svjetala s mogućnošću prigušivanja. Slično razmišlja i dizajnerica Alyssa Magid, naglašavajući važnost slojevitog osvjetljenja za stvaranje ugodnog ambijenta u kupaonici.

“Funkcionalna gornja rasvjeta je ključna, a taktično postavljene svjetiljke i noćna svjetla mogu pridonijeti stvaranju mekše i opuštajuće atmosfere”, napominje ona. Magid također preporučuje postavljanje LED svjetala ispod plutajućih umivaonika kao još jedan elegantan način osvjetljavanja kupaonice.

Uz rasvjetu koja je već postavljena, kao što su stropna svjetla ili svjetiljke, možete dodati svijeće kako biste stvorili dodatnu atmosferu u kupaonici.

Ako želite nabaviti svjetiljku za tuš koju je koristila u videu, na Amazonu možete pronaći velik izbor.

Toyota seeks patent for chameleon color-changing paint

No one knows better than the folks who manufacture and market automobiles how crucial the choice of color is. Now, hoping to chase the concept of some of BMW’s technologies, Toyota is developing a method to modify their vehicles’ colors, chameleon-like, by using heat and light.

As initially spotted by USA Today, the technique has been in development for two years and Toyota last month filed for a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The patent describes all cars with the paint leaving the factory with a single color, the color-changing material, in whatever default hue is chosen. Once at a dealer or other Toyota facility with the correct equipment, the color can be changed as desired. The method of which would include either large panels or even a movable panel that would heat the paint first, followed by applications of specific wavelengths of light. This whole process would allow the molecules in the paint to be shifted to reflect different wavelengths of light, creating different visible colors (similar to how “Structural Blue” on Lexus models achieves its color). Temperature sensors on the car would be employed in the process to help ensure the correct parameters are achieved for the right color.

Because these very specific conditions must be met for color changing, owners need not worry that if they drive their Camrys into Death Valley, they might shift from grey to hot pink.

At the Consumer Electronics Show in 2022, BMW showed a color-change concept known as E Ink on its iX electric SUV that was based on the electrophoretic technology used in e-readers. In that technology, the vehicle is wrapped, and an electric current causes pigments to pass through microcapsules, changing the exterior from white to gray to black, controlled by using an app on a mobile phone. Up to 32 colors could be displayed on 240 E Ink segments, each segment individually controlled.

Certainly, both these developments are conceptual now and not yet ready for prime time in a dealer’s showroom. But perhaps a hot pink Camry might not be bad.

Emerging-market bulls tout Modi premium as election nears

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s stocks have commanded an unprecedented premium to emerging-market peers. As he seeks a third successive term, investors are betting that the performance can continue.

Modi is likely to spend heavily on manufacturing and infrastructure should he win, continuing a strategy that wooed money managers during his decade in power. The stock market has rallied to successive records, while India’s imminent inclusion in a major global bond index is expected to lure billions of dollars in inflows.

A “pro-growth, pro-market agenda” is being endorsed by the electorate, said Andrei Stetsenko, a New York-based portfolio manager of Farley Capital. “To a much greater degree than a decade ago, the company managements with whom I meet feel the government is on their side.”

Modi’s 10 years in office have ensured political stability and policy continuity, helping reduce extreme swings in asset prices and turning India into a preferred investment destination for global funds. The election will start, in phases, on April 19.

When votes are counted on June 4, it will all boil down to whether or not Modi’s party wins a clear majority in the legislature. He has predicted a tally of more than 400 seats for his Bharatiya Janata Party and allies, though it remains to be seen whether the electorate’s top concerns over lack of jobs and high inflation, as highlighted by a recent poll, weigh on his popularity.

In 2019, the alliance led by the BJP won more than 350 of the 543 seats in the lower house of Parliament.

“Modi has unlocked India’s potential,” said Mike Sell, head of global emerging equities at Alquity Investment Management Ltd. “Investors prefer stability and clarity. A majority government versus an unwieldy coalition would certainly be preferable.”

Here is a deeper look at how Indian assets have performed under Modi:

Equity Premium

The median premium paid by global investors to own Indian shares against buying equities in other EMs jumped to 54 per cent under Modi’s tenure, from 30 per cent during the previous regime led by the Indian National Congress, data compiled by Bloomberg show. 

In contrast, stocks in China witnessed a median discount of 4 per cent to peers during the last decade, reflecting the diverging fortunes of the world’s two largest emerging markets.

In terms of absolute returns, the MSCI India Index’s surge of almost 200 per cent under Modi looks tamer in comparison to the more than 300 per cent rally the index saw in the previous decade.

Investor confidence in Indian markets still seems to have grown under Modi, with volatility plummeting across asset classes. For stocks, the median 30-day volatility in the benchmark NSE Nifty 50 Index dropped to 13 points over the last decade, from 18.5 points in the previous comparable period, data compiled by Bloomberg show. 

“India offers a strong protection on downside in terms of volatility,” said Vivek Dhawan, portfolio manager at Candrium Belgium NV. “In the last two-to-three years, there were a lot of headwinds — geopolitics, interest rates going higher and all that — but that meant India’s appeal due to its low volatility increased.”

Rupee’s Calm

While the Indian rupee steadily depreciated during Modi’s two terms, volatility in the currency has petered out in recent years, making it a favorite among carry traders.

The central bank has kept such a tight grip on the rupee that expected swings based on options prices have fallen the most in the world over the past decade. That’s a big change from the prior 10-year period, when the rupee was one of the most volatile currencies.

Currency stability in turn has boosted the attractiveness of the nation’s sovereign debt for foreign investors, with Indian bonds seeing the longest monthly streak of inflows in almost a decade ahead of their inclusion in major global bond indexes. 

A Bloomberg gauge of India’s benchmark sovereign bonds has given positive returns in all 10 years of Modi’s tenure, and looks set to edge higher if he retains power.   

“India is defying the EM wisdom of at least one step back for every two steps forward,” Macquarie Group Ltd.’s Viktor Shvets and Kyle Liu wrote in a note dated April 8. “India is likely to continue on its gravity-defying path, with less inflation, stable growth and lower risk premia.”

Nutricionistica tvrdi da ove namirnice nikada ne kupuje

SUSIE Burell jedna je od vodećih australskih nutricionistica koja želi učiniti zdravu hranu dostupnom svima. Kaže kako postoje određene namirnice koje čine više štete nego koristi ako se ne konzumiraju umjereno, zbog čega ih izbjegava u trgovini.

“Jedna od rijetkih namirnica u trgovinama koje vjerojatno sadrže transmasti, su pekarski kolači i muffini. U njima se vjerojatno nalazi margarin, a često sadrže i mnoštvo bojila, aditiva i prerađenih sastojaka”, rekla je.

Također izbjegava pileće medaljone i druga polugotova jela koja se moraju pripremiti prženjem ili pečenjem. Kloni se i prerađenog mesa.

“To je hrana koja se povezuje s rizikom od razvoja raka crijeva, a ne kupujem ni nudle pune soli i natrijevog glutamata (MSG). Nije problem u rezancima, već u paketićima sa začinima”, pojasnila je.

Na njezinu popisu zabranjenih namirnica su i bezalkoholna pića sa šećerom i umjetnim bojilima.

“Takva su pića usko povezana s debljanjem kod djece i odraslih. Jedna limenka od 375 mililitara pića može sadržavati čak devet žlica šećera, a sve varijante su jednako loše”, upozorila je.

Što se tiče namaza od orašastih plodova, kaže da je važno provjeriti deklaraciju jer ponekad sadrže više ulja i šećera nego što sadrže orašastih plodova.

“Ako kod kuće imate blender ili multipraktik, možete napraviti vlastite namaze i pratiti što ide u njih”, poručila je.

What Is the Best Piano Transcription Ever Written?

Best Piano Transcription Ever Written

Piano is an incredibly versatile instrument that can be used to express just about any genre of music. It’s no wonder that composers from every era wanted to write for it. In this playlist, you’ll hear some of the best piano transcriptions ever written, from the Baroque to the 21st century.

Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata is a heart-stoppingly beautiful piece that evokes the feelings of lamentation and nostalgia. It’s a demanding technical work-out for the fingers, but with the help of a great piano app like Skoove, it can be learned by any pianist.

www.tartalover.net

For a change of pace, try playing the famous ragtime piece, The Entertainer. This popular musical style is an ancestor of jazz and helps develop rhythm and chord knowledge. It also uses syncopation, or a displaced regular beat that adds a fun and lively feel to the music. Scott Joplin was the king of ragtime and his music is still celebrated today.

What Is the Best Piano Transcription Ever Written?

When the animated film Spirited Away won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, it was also awarded for the amazing soundtrack by composer Joe Hisaishi. This beautiful music is both uplifting and serene, and the piano intro to “Clocks” resembles the cyclical passage of time. It’s a challenging and rewarding piece to learn for any pianist.

Getting started with piano is easy when you have the right sheet music. Repertoire books are collections of songs arranged at the same playing level, and they’re an excellent choice for any musician who is just starting out or would like to expand their repertoire with new pieces. Many of these have a theme, such as Classical Pieces for Young Pianists or Great Movie Themes for Piano.

Another option is learning popular songs from other genres, such as rock music. These can be quite difficult to play at the beginning, but a good piano learning app like Skoove will show you the correct fingering and will wait patiently until you’ve played it correctly. One example is the catchy ‘Hallelujah’ by Leonard Cohen, which was originally recorded on an acoustic guitar but can be played on the piano with ease.

Taking the challenge of playing songs that were not specifically written for the piano is an important step in any piano student’s development. It’s a great way to test your mettle and to realize that there is no limit to what you can accomplish with the piano. Skoove makes it easy to find and practice these songs by providing a range of difficulty levels for beginners. The app even listens to you and waits until you’ve played the right notes.

Blockbusters and Critical Acclaim Redefine Mollywood in 2024

Today, if I am envious of anyone, I would say it’s Malayalam writers and actors — SS Rajamouli.

The director of the mega blockbusters Baahubali and RRR is only half right.

Not just the writers and actors, but the entire Malayalam film industry is on a roll in 2024.

Four films have hit it out of the park in the year already — creating new records at the box office — even as filmmakers experiment with new themes, unexplored topics and terrains, winning critical appreciation all around.

The situation was completely different a couple of years ago.

The Malayalam industry witnessed the release of a spate of films but only a few of them turned out to be hits. Covid-19, the lack of good-quality films and the presence of OTT platforms meant the industry, like any other film industry in India, was struggling.

Then 2024 happened.

The prediction by music composer Sushin Shyam that ‘Manjummel kurachu scene maattum Malayalam industrye‘ (Manjummel Boys will change the tide for Malayalam industry) has come true.

From Manjummel Boys to Premalu, Mammootty’s Bramayugam to now ‘Aadujeevitham‘ (Goat Life), the industry is looking brighter than ever. While Premalu and Aadujeevitham entered the Rs 100-crore club, Manjummel Boys, a film based on a real-life incident, became the first Malayalam film to enter the Rs 200-crore club.

And in this Vishu festival season, the industry is looking forward to Fahad Fasil’s Aavesham, Pranav-Dhyan combo’s Varshangalkku Shesham, Jai Ganesh, Maarivilin Gopurangal etc.

“The acceptance of recent films in Malayalam shows that people will choose to watch films in theatres if there are good films,” says NM Badusha, film producer.

According to Siyad Kokker, film producer and exhibitor, what has helped Malayalam films to be financially successful and achieve box-office success is the change in the mindset of the people.

“Unlike before, the audience is willing to come to theatres to watch films. They have realised that the experience of watching films in theatres and on OTT platforms is different. It is the merit of these films that attracted the public. They are aware of the film, its content and quality from the trailer and promotion videos,” he says.

Badusha adds that not many films are going to OTT and these platforms only take up films they believe can increase their subscriber count.

The films that have worked in the past three months are films that people think are entertaining and can be enjoyed with friends and family members.

“What we have observed after the pandemic and the mushrooming of the OTT platforms is that the audience distinguishes films that can be watched on OTT and films they believe deserve a theatrical watch. Premalu is a funny rom-com that young people want to watch together, Brahmayugam is about the atmospheric and black and white experience and Manjummel Boys is a survival thriller where music plays an important role. We are not going to get the same effect if we watch these movies on OTT,” according to Sowmya Rajendran, a film critic and writer.

She adds that Blessy’s Aadujeevitham has also benefited from the success of these films. “With the popularity of the novel, the landscape and the making of the movie, it deserves a theatrical experience,” Sowmya emphasises.

Indices crack amid negative global cues

Indian equities slid over 1 per cent on Friday amid selling by overseas investors and negative global cues.

The possibility of fewer rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve this year, surge in commodity prices and the amendment in the India-Mauritius tax treaty spooked investors. Brent crude prices inched higher to $91 per barrel, while the dollar index moved closer to 106 levels. 10-year US bond yields were ruling at 4.5 per cent.

The Sensex slid 793 points or 1.1 per cent to 74,244 on Friday, while the Nifty fell 1.03 per cent to 22,519, capping a week of modest gains. Sixty per cent of the BSE components declined. Cash market volumes on the NSE were higher at ₹1.15-lakh crore.

Foreign portfolio investors sold shares worth ₹8,027 crore, while domestic institutions bought shares worth ₹6,341 crore.

Top losers

Maruti Suzuki and Sun Pharma were the top Nifty losers, shedding over 3 per cent each. All sectors ended in red, with oil & gas, PSU bank, and pharma indices the major losers.

“The uncertainty over the US Fed rate cut and concerns about rising tensions between Iran and Israel led to a decline in global markets. The rise in bond yields due to hotter-than-expected US inflation and amendment in the India-Mauritius tax treaty dampened sentiment,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

Moody’s Analytics on Friday projected India’s economy to expand 6.1 per cent in 2024, lower than 7.7 per cent growth clocked in the previous calendar year.

IMF warning

Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, warned of a decade of sluggish global growth unless central banks restored price stability and global leaders addressed the issue of debt distress. The US Federal Reserve should be able to start lowering interest rates by the end of the year, she said.

Khemka expects markets to remain volatile in the near term given the global concerns and the start of an election next week. With the onset of the earning season, the focus will shift more towards domestic cues along with macro data, he said.

The Sensex closed above the 75,000-mark for the first time on Wednesday, a fresh high. The market capitalisation of shares listed on the BSE hit ₹400-lakh crore earlier in the week.

Pundits believe the market is marginally overvalued, with the 12-month trailing P/E for the Nifty at 22.7x, a 2 per cent premium to its long period average of 22.4x. India’s market capitalisation-to-GDP ratio, at 132 as of FY24, is much above its long-term average of about 80 per cent.

Asian stocks fell on Friday, led by Hong Kong, amid weak import export March data from China. The US has added six Chinese companies to an export blacklist accusing them of seeking to acquire AI chips for China’s military or helping to procure drones for use by Russia.

P is for Pressure cooker: The quintessential icon of the great Indian kitchen

As symphonic as the ‘tring-tring’ of the telephone, and the ‘ding dong’ of the doorbell, is the whistle (Seeti) from a pressure cooker in an Indian home. The trademark sound accompanied by the noise of gushing steam tempted Sandeep to check the scene in the kitchen. He found his Paati (Grandmother) very carefully stirring the ladle inside a heavily ionised cooker and then jabbing a fork in another to examine the texture of the idli to check if it was done.

Ah, poovu pola irrukku (Ah it’s soft as a flower), she exclaimed with sheer joy! “The idlis are ready to perfection”. Now for the chutney, sambhar and podi to accompany them. As his Paati moved forward to get going with all of the idli accompaniments, Sandeep decided to tease his Paati about the gadgets in the kitchen.

Sandeep is a gadget buff and loved ordering stuff online. His latest attraction was the air fryer. He was eyeing the Phillips Air Fryer and trying to figure out if it was worth it. “Paati, don’t you think Air fryers and no oil cooking methods do the job better these days?,” he asked. “What if the days for your traditional pressure cookers are numbered? These days, people seem to want specialised gadgets and a whole set of them, one for each task. “

Well, said Paati, if people have that much money to buy multiple gadgets for the kitchen and the space to keep all of them handy for use, they are going to have a lot of money, that’s for sure. But what about all the millions of middle-class home makers? They have learnt and honed their cooking skills with the pressure cooker.

And for very good reason, said Paati.

They love the versatility of the cooker — it can be used for cooking almost anything; rice, paruppu (dal), korma, a number of non-vegetarian dishes and baking cakes even. They can buy it in a wide range of sizes, from the mini to the maxi, to cook for 2 people or 25 people. It saves them a lot of time spent in hot kitchens. Cooking dals especially, in the cooker does the job in a jiffy. Saves time, effort and cooking gas. For women keeping a sharp eye on their budget, that matters a lot too.

Safeguarding her precious constant, Paati continued her defence, “Ah well, times have changed and so have the cooking methods, they could be modern and advanced for sure but not simple and convenient as a pressure cooker”. In Paati’s opinion, people who were well versed in technology could make optimal use of the new-age cooking devices with their digital dashboards, whereas pressure cookers served the Indian masses. Her unshakable faith developed from the practice of cooking with a pressure cooker for ages, instilled in her a firm belief that the cooker is dear to all. It has secured its firm spot everywhere, from the kitchen of every Indian housewife to trekkers up on the hill whipping up quick meals at higher altitudes.

Knowing that her engineer grandson appreciated ‘scientific’ explanations for everything, Paati said, “Cooking daals and curries in the pressure cooker preserves all the vital minerals and nutrition of the food. Moreover, the ease with which the dishes get done in no time, that too with less oil, is healthy plus value for money too”. She rounded off her message to her grandson with, “Do you know that the OPOS (one pot, one shot) cooking method has been developed only for the pressure cooker as the primary cooking gadget?”

Sandeep became very impressed with his Paati’s up-do-date knowledge, not just her firm common sense approach which he was very familiar with. He was forced to concede the good sense in her arguments and accept that the Pressure Cooker would continue to hold its prime place in every middle class Indian kitchen as the housewife’s trusted, go-to, kitchen device.

The gas stove, pressure cooker and mixie form the trio that hold pride of place, for much the same reasons — time and effort saving efficiency, versatility, money saving, enabling home makers to enjoy cooking while freeing them from the tyranny of the kitchen.

(The A-Z Series: This series of short articles explores how familiar objects from everyday life embody concepts and values dear to the urban Indian middle class. It takes a light-hearted and humorous look at how objects shape our wants & desires, lives, and lifestyles, ultimately making us who we are as a people.)

Osobna trenerica: Ako želite smršaviti za ljeto, napravite ove promjene u prehrani

BLIŽI se ljeto, a s njim i želja da se osjećamo samopouzdano u našoj omiljenoj odjeći za toplo vrijeme. Srećom, postizanje vitke figure ne mora uključivati ekstremne mjere ili brze dijete koje će, u konačnici, učiniti više štete nego koristi.

Nekoliko jednostavnih promjena u prehrani može učiniti čuda za naše ciljeve mršavljenja. Osobna trenerica i stručnjakinja za prehranu, Alanne Kate Derrick, otkrila je takve četiri male, ali utjecajne promjene u prehrani koje nam mogu donijeti značajne rezultate.

1. Zamijenite slatke napitke za vodu i druge zdrave alternative

Derrick predlaže da počnemo zamjenom slatkih pića, poput gaziranih pića i sokova, zdravijim alternativama. Nažalost, mnoga od naših omiljenih pića vjerojatno su prepuna šećera, što bi moglo biti štetno za zdravlje iz nekoliko razloga.

“Te kalorije zbrajaju se vrlo brzo i ne daju nikakve vrijedne hranjive tvari”, objašnjava trenerica za SheFinds. Umjesto toga, preporučuje nezaslađene sokove. “Hidracija vodom s limunom i krastavcima ili jagodama i mentom može biti osvježavajuće sredstvo za gašenje žeđi bez kalorija”, dodala je.

2. Odaberite cjelovitu hranu bogatu vlaknima umjesto rafiniranih ugljikohidrata i prerađenih grickalica

Uz naš izbor pića, postoji i mnoštvo zdravih zamjena koje možemo napraviti za vrijeme obroka. Zamjena rafiniranih ugljikohidrata i prerađenih grickalica s cjelovitom hranom bogatom vlaknima još je jedna ključna Derrickina preporuka.

“Zamjena čipsa za šaku miješanih orašastih plodova ili zamjena bijelog kruha hranjivim cjelovitim žitaricama, može napraviti značajnu razliku”, kaže stručnjakinja. Dodana vlakna pomažu nam da se duže osjećamo sitima uz manje kalorija.

3. Dajte prioritet nemasnim proteinima

Derrick također naglašava važnost uključivanja nemasnih proteina u obroke kako bismo optimizirali metabolizam i očuvali mišićnu masu.

“Štednja na proteinima može izazvati osjećaj gladi prije jela”, upozorava ona. Uključivanje kvalitetnih izvora proteina, poput pilećih prsa na žaru, masne ribe, tofua ili leće, u obroke može nam pomoći da ostanemo siti i zadovoljni. Međutim, savjetuje da pripazimo na veličinu porcija kako bismo izbjegli prekomjernu konzumaciju.

4. Začinite stvari biljem i začinima koji pospješuju metabolizam

Na kraju, Derrick preporučuje da u svoje obroke uključimo začinsko bilje i začine s termogenim svojstvima kako bismo malo dodatno pokrenuli svoj metabolizam. “Začini poput kurkume, đumbira ili cimeta dodaju bogatstvo okusa gotovo bez kalorija i mogu čak pomoći u suzbijanju žudnje za šećerom”, zaključila je stručnjakinja.

Dečko tjera djevojku da napusti svog psića jer je “alergičan”. Priča je viralna

ŽENA kaže da ne želi napustiti svog psa unatoč tome što njezin dečko tvrdi da ima alergije zbog ljubimca. U viralnoj objavi na Redditu 21-godišnjakinja je napisala da je u neugodnoj situaciji zbog dečka (21) i šteneta koje je nedavno udomila jer je živjela sama i htjela je društvo.

Međutim, kaže da je njezinom dečku počeo smetati pas posljednja dva mjeseca zbog čega se stalno svađaju. On tvrdi da je štene iritantno i ne zna se ponašati. “Objasnila sam mu da ima samo tri mjeseca, a već zna vani obavljati nuždu i izvoditi trikove”, napisala je.

Dečko, koji živi s roditeljima, pitao ju je tijekom jedne od njihovih svađa bi li se hipotetski odrekla psića da je on alergičan na njega. Budući da tada nije pokazivao simptome alergije, djevojka je rekla da bi. Odmah sutra dečko se požalio da ima osip zbog psa.

Ljudi komentiraju: Dečko ti je manipulator

“Ne znam trebam li mu vjerovati”, napisala je. “Pogotovo zato što nije bio kod nas dva dana. Rekla sam da ću kupiti pročišćivač zraka, deterdžent i prati posteljinu svaki put prije nego on dođe. Ali kaže da ništa od toga neće pomoći.”

Korisnici Reddita preplavili su njezin odjeljak s komentarima u znak podrške, a mnogi su zaključili da je dečko manipulator. “Zadrži štene i ostavi dečka”, “Samo te manipulira jer on ne želi psa”, “Laže da ima alergije”, pišu joj. Ona se kasnije javila i složila s njima.

Kupila LG kombiniranu perilicu i sušilicu pa požalila

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.

KADA je u pitanju pranje rublja kod kuće, većina nas koristi dva odvojena uređaja: perilicu za pranje odjeće i sušilicu za sušenje. No, sigurno ste se nekada zapitali isplati li se kupiti kombinirane perilice i sušilice rublja.

Iako ideja jednog uređaja koji bi obavljao i pranje i sušenje rublja zvuči praktično, nedavni viralni TikTok video sugerira da možda trebate razmisliti prije nego što spojite ove uređaje u jedan.

Popularna kreatorica sadržaja, poznata kao Mom Life Stacy B (@stayseebee), postala je viralna nakon što je podijelila video u kojem pokazuje svoju novu LG WashCombo All-in-One perilicu-sušilicu rublja. Stacy je željela uređaj koji bi mogao obavljati i pranje i sušenje rublja, ali je naišla na probleme kada je primijetila da se u njezinoj ostavi nakupila voda.

Video je postao viralan, s više od 7.2 milijuna pregleda, a taj broj stalno raste. U videu se jasno vidi kako voda curi iz ladice za deterdžent, dok tekst na ekranu poručuje: “Rekli su da nabavim višenamjensku perilicu i sušilicu.” Kamera zatim snima pod, gdje je postavljen ručnik kako bi upio vodu koja je iscurila.

Mnogi su u komentarima ispod videa sugerirali Stacy da razmotri druge marke, dok su neki izrazili zadovoljstvo istom perilicom.

Jedan korisnik je napisao: “Imamo LG perilicu rublja i radi besprijekorno već 2 godine. Ovo može biti ili greška korisnika ili neispravan uređaj.”

Druga korisnica je savjetovala Stacy da u potpunosti izbjegava LG, rekavši: “LG bi trebao ostati pri televizorima”, “Imam Miele perilicu i sušilicu combo i radi odlično”, napisala je treća.

Što kažu recenzije?

Portal Daily Dot je istražio nekoliko recenzija korisnika na internetu. Izvješće CBS Essentials o LG WashCombo uređaju ne ističe izričite probleme s curenjem, već naglašava važnost redovitog čišćenja filtra za dovod vode, smještenog u donjem lijevom kutu uređaja. Taj filter služi za hvatanje sitnih predmeta poput gumba ili kovanica, a njegovo nečišćenje može rezultirati začepljenjem cijelog WashCombo uređaja.

U izvješću se također navodi da su neki korisnici uspjeli oprati i osušiti rublje nekoliko puta, pri čemu je odjeća bila potpuno suha nakon ciklusa.

Pritužbe na kombinirane perilice-sušilice rublja češće su u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu i Europi nego u Sjedinjenim Državama, gdje su takvi uređaji češći u upotrebi. Članak u Quartzu istražuje široku primjenu ovih kombiniranih uređaja i iznosi mogućnost njihove potencijalne neučinkovitosti.

Novinarka Jessica Furseth u članku za Curbed navodi da “tipična britanska kombinirana perilica-sušilica … izgleda kao sjajan izbor sve dok ne shvatite da dio sa sušilicom zapravo ne radi – a to znaju svi koji tamo žive”.

Interview|For the love of movies & Madirashi: Vineeth Sreenivasan

‘Vineeth Sreenivasan’ and his love for Chennai is a much-celebrated meme material in Malayalam social media circles. After ‘Hridayam’—which beautifully romanticised Chennai—Vineeth refuted rumours that his next is also a Chennai-based narrative. As it turns out, he was being deceptive. His new film, ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’ is set in Chennai of the yore, Madras. While 70s Madras is alien to Vineeth, he was always familiar with the land and its vibrant cinema culture through the stories narrated by his father Sreenivasan, and his industry friends. It was a time when Malayalam cinema was completely based in Madras, with Kodambakkam serving as the hub of all aspirants. Most of today’s industry giants were shaped by the sweat, struggles and setbacks they faced in Kodambakkam. ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’, Vineeth says, is inspired by all these “Madirashi kathakal”. “Right from my childhood, I’ve been hearing numerous stories about their Kodambakkam days. Most of these incidents happened way before I was even born, but they still got me fascinated with the city and the vibe there. The seed for ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’ was sown then.”

There’s a lot of hype around ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’, primarily because of its star-studded cast and some rumoured surprises in it. Ahead of the film’s release on Thursday, we catch up with Vineeth to discuss more about his inspirations and creative choices.

Excerpts

Malayalam cinema has seen many films like ‘Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback’, ‘Thirakkatha’, and ‘Udayananu Tharam’ that showcased the good, bad, and ugly side of the film industry. How different is ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’?

All the films that you mentioned are my absolute favourites. In fact, I even revisited ‘Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback’ before starting ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’. I think our audience loves to watch these films because it’s a world that they are not familiar with. Beyond shooting, they still are not aware of 80 percent of the process that goes behind. So, naturally, there will be a curiosity to watch such films. What makes ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’ interesting is its time span, which traverses from the 1970s to 2023. The story is primarily about two friends, Venu and Murali, who arrive in Kodambakkam in the 70s to make it big in cinema. Through their journey, we get to see the changing dynamics of the film industry over the years. Beyond cinema aficionados, this film, I hope, will connect with anyone who has ever dreamt of achieving something in life.

Friendship is a recurring theme in almost all your films…

Friendship is an emotion I value a lot in life. Naturally, it reflects on all my work. Even after 20 years, if I continue doing films, I’m sure an element of friendship will still be there in my stories.

Your brother Dhyan had earlier said that Vinod of ‘Thattathin Marayathu’ is a reflection of your real personality and Umesh in Oru Vadakkan Selfie is partly him. In that sense, is Venu’s character from ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’ based on your father, Sreenivasan?

That’s a good one, but I can’t precisely say if Venu is entirely based on Achan. Before moving to Kodambakkam and entering cinema, Achan was actively doing plays in our hometown. In the film, Venu also treads a similar path. So, their journeys might be similar, but I haven’t incorporated Achan’s character traits as such.

What Are the Legal Requirements For Providing Severance Pay?

Legal Requirements For Providing Severance Pay

If you are being terminated by your company, you might be entitled to a severance package or retiring allowance. Severance pay is typically based on how long you have worked at the company and the position you held, as well as other factors, such as salary and benefits. Severance packages can vary widely, and are negotiated between an employer and an employee. However, there are some legal requirements employers must meet when providing severance packages.

Some states have laws requiring companies to provide severance packages to certain employees when they are laid off or fired for reasons such as a plant closing or mass layoffs. These state laws often apply to employees in the public sector. Other employers may be required to give severance packages when they are laying off large numbers of employees because of financial difficulties or economic reasons.

Other federal employment laws also affect how much severance pay packages are. For example, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act require companies to treat older employees fairly when offering severance packages or retirement incentives. These laws establish minimum standards that are enforceable by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

What Are the Legal Requirements For Providing Severance Pay?

The law requires companies to treat all of their employees in similar circumstances with the same amount of respect and fairness, and avoid discrimination. This includes situations in which a company gives one type of employee severance pay retiring allowance and another employee a different package, as well as when a company fires an employee for what the EEOC considers to be a bad reason.

Despite the law, most employers don’t offer severance packages to every terminated employee, and some employers only give severance packages to employees who are being laid off for reasons such as a plant closing or a mass layoff of a significant number of employees. Even in these cases, however, the company must comply with state laws and regulations such as the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), which requires employers to notify employees of a plant closure or mass layoff before severance payments can be given.

Employers must be consistent in their approach to severance packages, and they should keep track of which employees receive what amounts for future reference. This is because even the smallest differences can create legal issues. For example, if an employer provides more money to a single employee in a situation outside the company’s usual cadence of severance packages, it could set a precedent that would be unfair and open the door to lawsuits.

Some states require that companies include unused vacation time as part of the severance package. Many companies do this, but you should always check to see if your severance agreement reflects the actual number of days of vacation time owed. You will be taxed on the severance or retiring allowance you receive, so make sure to consult your accountant. If you are being paid stock options, you will need to decide how and when you will exercise them, as there is a limited window to do so.

Tri popularna doručka koja mogu dovesti do probavnih problema, prema dijetetičarima

DORUČAK, često poznat kao najvažniji obrok u danu, određuje kako ćemo se osjećati tijekom dana. Međutim, iako postoji mnogo zdravih opcija za odabir, određeni izbori za doručak mogu loše utjecati na zdravlje naših crijeva, što dovodi do nadutosti i probavnih problema.

Dijetetičar Jesse Feder i nutricionistica Lisa Richards izdvojili su tri takva doručka.

1. Slanina

Slanina je popularna opcija za doručak. Nažalost, taj odličan okus može imati svoju cijenu ako ga redovito jedemo. “Slanina je bogata upalnim zasićenim mastima i natrijem. Zasićene masti mogu izazvati upalu u cijelom tijelu i crijevima, što dovodi do nadutosti i probavnih problema”, kaže Feder za SheFinds.

Umjesto obične slanine, preporučuje pureću slaninu smanjenog udjela natrija. “Ova zamjena omogućuje vam smanjenje unosa zasićenih masti i natrija, promičući bolje zdravlje crijeva”, predložio je.

2. Kobasice

Slično slanini, Feder ističe da su kobasice krcate upalnim zasićenim mastima i natrijem. “Ove komponente mogu izazvati upalu u tijelu i crijevima te pogoršati nadutost i probavne probleme”, dodaje.

Kao zdraviju alternativu predlaže: “Odlučite se za pureću kobasicu sa smanjenim udjelom natrija. Ovom jednostavnom zamjenom možete smanjiti unos zasićenih masti i natrija, podržavajući zdravija crijeva i smanjujući nadutost.”

3. Slatke pahuljice

Prema Richards, slatke žitarice mogu utjecati na našu probavu iz nekoliko razloga. “Prvo, često su visoko obrađene i imaju malo vlakana, što može dovesti do zatvora i drugih probavnih problema”, upozorava nutricionistica.

Zatim, tu je i problem iznimno visokog sadržaja šećera koji može poremetiti ravnotežu bakterija u crijevima, što dovodi do upale i drugih probavnih problema, zajedno s drugim zdravstvenim problemima, navodi stručnjakinja. “Osim toga, konzumiranje visokih razina šećera povezano je s povećanim rizikom od pretilosti, što je također povezano s lošim zdravljem crijeva”, zaključuje Richards.

U isječku koji je objavila na TikToku, vidimo kako je njezina ženska mačka energična, odvažna i uvijek spremna za akciju. No, muški mačak je lijen, većinom se izležava i vrlo je prijateljski nastrojen.

Video je ubrzo postao viralan skupivši preko 7.4 milijuna pregleda i više od 1.2 milijuna lajkova te je nasmijao mnoge korisnike TikToka.

Boja kuhinje kakvu ima Dakota Johnson nastavlja biti u trendu i u 2024.

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.

ZAHVALJUJUĆI emisiji Open Door časopisa Architectural Digest, vrlo je lako zaviriti u domove mnogih slavnih osoba. Jedna od njih je i glumica Dakota Johnson, koja je 2020. godine otvorila vrata timu iza te emisije i pokazala kako je uredila svoj dom.

No, njezina kuhinja, odnosno boja ormarića, sada je ponovo privukla pažnju mnogih te su se i dizajneri osvrnuli na nju, kao i na to je li još uvijek u stilu 2024. godine.

“Volim zelenu”

Njezin dom u Los Angelesu odiše toplinom i osobnošću, zahvaljujući elementima koji spajaju prirodu s unutrašnjim prostorom, eklektičnim detaljima poput kristala i porculana s uzorkom, ali i zelenim kuhinjskim ormarićima. “Volim zelenu”, istaknula je glumica u videu Open Door.

Navela je da je prije ove kuće živjela u nekretnini u New Yorku i da je i tamo pofarbala ormariće u zelenu, ali da je pogriješila s nijansom. “Ali s ovom sam pogodila”, naglasila je. Iako je glumica sa zaručnikom Chrisom Martinom kupila kuću u Malibuu, ove u Los Angelesu se navodno nije odrekla, a njezina zelena kuhinja još uvijek je inspiracija mnogima prilikom uređenja.

Tako se na TikToku mogu pronaći brojni videi u kojima korisnici dijele upravo njezinu kuhinju kao primjer idealne zelene boje za ormariće. Zelena je, podsjećamo, bila vrlo popularan izbor boje za kuhinju u 2023. godini, a taj trend se nastavlja i u 2024. 

Naime, dizajneri ističu da zelene kuhinje ne idu nigdje ni u 2024. godini unatoč pojavi nekih drugih trendova i popularnih nijansi. Tako su trenutno u ovoj godini najpopularnije boje kuhinjskih ormarića sljedeće nijanse – crne, zelene, sive, bijele i plave. 

“Boja kuhinje koje će uvijek biti u trendu bez obzira na sve je zelena”, ističe dizajnerica Tash Bradley. Ona posebno preporučuje kadulja zelenu nijansu. “Ne možete pogriješiti s tom bojom u kuhinji. Promiče zdrav, uravnotežen način razmišljanja, povezuje vas s vanjskim prostorom”, objašnjava, prenosi Livingetc.

“Osobno volim zelenu u svim nijansama zbog njene sposobnosti da vas poveže s prirodom – od dubokih zasićenih tonova koje nalazimo u prašumi do mekih, prigušenih nijansi zelene koje nalazimo uz more”, kaže dizajnerica Julee Ireland za Elle Decor. 

Dizajneri kažu da je priroda dobar izvor inspiracije kod uređenja doma

Većina dizajnera s kojima je razgovarao portal Homes & Gardens, slaže se da je priroda uvijek dobar izvor inspiracije za ideje boja prostora. A što je bolje od zelene? Ona pruža osjećaj zaštite i utjehe, kao i nostalgije.

Dakotina boja kuhinje jedna je svakako od zanimljivijih zelenih u spektru. Naime, ona u sebi ima i žute tonove te je zbog toga svestrana i može se kombinirati s mnogo drugih nijansi.

“Ovo je divna boja koja dobro funkcionira tijekom cijele godine i idealna je ako pokušavate unijeti element prirode u moderniji dom”, kaže Emma Sims-Hilditch, osnivačica i kreativna direktorica Sims Hilditcha. “To je umirujuća nijansa koja ne samo da dobro funkcionira na ormarićima već izgleda sjajno i na zidovima.”

Ako trenutno uređujete svoj dom i birate nijansu za kuhinjske ormariće, sa zelenom svakako ne možete pogriješiti. No zelenu možete u svoj dom unijeti i kroz neke druge, manje predmete te ga tako povezati s prirodom.

Mollywood scripts turnaround with themes, treatments

KOCHI : Today, if I am envious of anyone, I would say it’s Malayalam writers and actors, S S Rajamouli said recently. But, the Telugu filmmaker, who created history when for his blockbuster film RRR won the Oscar for best original song, is only partly right.

It’s not just writers and actors; the entire Malayalam film industry has been on a roll this year. Film after film has been creating new records on the box office even as the industry experiments with new themes, treatment and terrain, winning critical appreciation all around.

The situation was completely different in the last two years. The industry churned out hundreds of films, but hits were few and far in between. For a sector recovering from the Covid-19 slump and lack of good subjects and quality, the presence of OTT platforms rubbed salt into the wounds. The industry, like any other in the country, was struggling.

Then 2024 happened. Music composer Sushin Shyam’s prediction that ‘Manjummel kurachu scene maattum Malayalam industryde’ (Manjummel Boys will be a game changer for Malayalam industry) has come true. Mollywood has changed the ‘scene’ with a string of hits.From Manjummel Boys to Premalu, Mammootty’s Bramayugam to now Aadujeevitham, the industry is shining brighter than ever. While Premalu and Aadujeevitham entered the Rs 100-crore club, Manjummel Boys, based on a real-life incident, has become the first Malayalam film to make the Rs200-crore club.

For the upcoming Vishu season, the industry is betting on Fahadh Faasil’s Aavesham, Pranav-Dhyan combo’s Varshangalkku Shesham, Jai Ganesh, etc. “The acceptance of recent films in Malayalam shows that people will choose to watch good films in theatres,” says N M Badusha, film producer.

According to Siyad Koker, film producer and exhibitor, a change in the mindset of people has helped Malayalam films succeed financially. “Unlike before, audiences are willing to come to theatres. They have realised that there is a difference between watching films in theatres and on OTT platforms. It is a film’s merit that attracts the public. Trailers and promotional videos provide a glimpse of content and quality,” he added.

Fed talk, geopolitical tensions may keep markets on edge

Indian equities are likely to come under pressure on Friday amid negative global cues.

Gift Nifty slipped around 1 per cent on Thursday. Nifty futures at Gift City (8 pm IST) is hovering around 22,590 against Nifty futures at 22,812 on the NSE. Global stocks slid after US March inflation data came in hotter than expected, with a 3.5 per cent increase in consumer prices for the year to March. This has raised the probability of the US Federal Reserve maintaining a status quo in June, keeping interest rates higher for longer, and resorting to two rate cuts instead of three this year.

Fed officials are worried that progress on inflation has slowed, as the minutes of the last Fed meeting released on Wednesday showed. 

The ECB held rates steady on Thursday. Oil prices slid marginally after logging early gains as investors braced for a worsening of the West Asia crisis. Brent crude prices were ruling at $90 per barrel. The dollar index, which measures the greenback’s value against six major currencies, was ruling over 105 after climbing to its highest level since November.

Rate cut impact

“The timing and extent of future interest rate cuts will play a pivotal role in shaping market momentum for the rest of the year. Any deceleration in earnings growth needs to be closely monitored,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.

Earnings growth in India is showing signs of contraction, with EPS growth expected to moderate to 5-10 per cent in Q4 compared to the 25 per cent growth seen between April and December last year, said Nair.

The Sensex closed above the 75,000 mark for the first time on Wednesday, a fresh high. The market capitalisation of shares listed on the BSE hit ₹400-lakh crore earlier in the week.

Market valuation

Pundits believe the market is marginally overvalued, with the 12-month trailing P/E for the Nifty at 22.7x, a 2 per cent premium to its long-period average of 22.4x. India’s market capitalisation-to-GDP ratio, at 132 as of FY24, is much above its long-term average of about 80 per cent.

“Rich valuations and geopolitical tensions worldwide, with expectations of an imminent Iranian attack on Israel, do not augur well for the market,” said UR Bhat, director, Alphaniti Fintech.

Overseas investors investing in India through Mauritius may have to face greater scrutiny after the amendment to the double taxation avoidance agreement between the two countries. Investments will have to pass the principal purpose test for availing tax benefits.

“You may not see a massive selloff, but the sentiment may turn negative. Some investors could look at other jurisdictions and create structures to transfer their holdings over time,” said Bhat.

Over a longer horizon, however, robust economic growth, in-line corporate earnings, macroeconomic and political stability, and sustained domestic flows are likely to keep the market resilient despite rich valuations. Investors may prefer large caps over small and mid-cap shares. Small-cap mutual fund schemes saw outflows in March for the first time in 30 months.

Agri and rural stocks are expected to be in focus after Skymet forecast normal monsoon for India in 2024.

Nair is inclined towards domestically driven sectors such as FMCG, infrastructure, cement, and telecom due to their stable demand outlook for FY25 and the potential for reduced operational costs. Defensive sectors like IT and pharma, on the other hand, offer resilience over the medium to long term, owing to their stable margin projections, lower input costs, and potential gains from a stronger dollar.

The Indian equity market remained closed on Thursday on account of Eid al-Fitr.

MRŠAVLJENJE je proces koji zahtijeva pažljivo balansiranje između pravilne prehrane, redovite tjelesne aktivnosti i zdravih životnih navika. Umjesto fokusiranja na brze dijete ili ekstremne mjere, ključ je usvajanje trajnih promjena u načinu života. Stoga je dijetetičarka Maddie Saliba na Instagramu otkrila pet jednostavnih promjena načina života koje doprinose zdravom mršavljenju.

Podijelila je sljedeće savjete:

  1. Prestanite brojati kalorije.
  2. Jedite doručak.
  3. Ciljajte na 20 grama proteina dnevno.
  4. Dodajte 150 do 300 grama povrća svom ručku i večeri.
  5. Imajte pozitivan način razmišljanja.

Saliba naglašava važnost usvajanja zdravih navika, umjesto fokusiranja na brojanje kalorija. Preporučuje uživanje u dobro izbalansiranom doručku te dodavanje visokoproteinske hrane u obroke kako bi se lakše postigli ciljevi mršavljenja.

Također potiče konzumaciju povrća tijekom ručka i večere te naglašava važnost mentalnog zdravlja u procesu gubitka kilograma, potičući zdrav način razmišljanja kao ključ uspješnog mršavljenja.

Ova kujica je napuštena tijekom selidbe, evo kako je reagirala na novu selidbu

KORISNICA TikToka Morgan Vacala objavila je prije tjedan dana snimku koja je slomila srca brojnih gledatelja.

Vacala je u objavi otkrila da je njezina kujica Izzy napuštena tijekom selidbe njezine obitelji. U novi dom došla je nekoliko dana nakon što su je prošli vlasnici ostavili u skloništu, ali i dalje ima strah od napuštanja. Na snimci vidimo istraumatiziranu Izzy kako sjedi u kutiji jer se boji da će je njezini novi vlasnici također napustiti tijekom selidbe.

“Ne brini se, Izzy, ideš s nama”, napisala je njezina vlasnica.

“Jadnica, oni ne zaboravljaju takve stvari”, “Vidi se da nervozno dahće, samo je želim zagrliti”, “Nisu mi jasni ljudi koji napuštaju svoje pse. Oni su obitelj”, “Ne mogu prestati plakati”, “Beba, razumije što se dogodilo, pa se boji da će se to ponoviti”, neki su od komentara gledatelja.

Uoči Olimpijskih igara, Puma učvršćuje svoj fokus na brzinu

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.

NJEMAČKI brend sportske odjeće i opreme Puma odlučio je iskoristiti ovogodišnje Olimpijske igre i svoje partnerstvo s jamajčanskim sprinterskim prvacima kako bi se fokusirao na brzinu i osigurao si bolju poziciju na sve konkurentnijem tržištu sportske opreme. Arne Freundt, CEO Pume, izjavio je kako žele povećati prodaju proizvoda za poboljšanje performansi, poput trkaćih tenisica i kopački.

Puma želi privući više ležernih i profesionalnih trkača

U novoj marketinškoj kampanji brenda, koja je predstavljena u Parizu, domaćinu ovogodišnjih igara, sudjeluju vrhunski sportaši među kojima su rekorder u skoku s motkom Armando Duplantis i prvak na 400 m s preponama Karsten Warholm.

Puma pokušava privući više svakodnevnih i ozbiljnih trkača, a sponzoriranje jamajčanskog olimpijskog tima i nekih od najboljih sprintera poput Shericke Jackson i Elaine Thompson-Herah pomoći će potrošačima da brend povežu s brzinom, rekao je Geoff Lowery, analitičar iz Redburna u Londonu.

Freundt je posjetio Jamajku krajem ožujka, prvi put prisustvujući tamošnjem najvažnijem srednjoškolskom atletskom natjecanju kako bi lansirao jamajčansku olimpijsku opremu na događaju koji se smatra poligonom za testiranje mladih atletskih talenata.

“Puma ležerno predvodi industriju”, “Razjedinjeni nacionalnošću, ujedinjeni Pumom”, “Reći ću svojoj djeci da je ovo Fantastična četvorka”, “Nije vam loš tim” neki su od komentara na Instagram objave brenda.

Nove trkaće tenisice ističu se narančastom bojom

“Moramo jasno istaknuti da je Puma posvećena brzini”, izjavio je Freundt za Reuters. “To je nešto što moramo ojačati u percepciji potrošača.”

Kao i ostali trgovci sportskom opremom koji sponzoriraju olimpijce i ulažu novac u Olimpijske igre, i Puma želi potaknuti gledatelje da obrate pozornost na cijeli asortiman, od tenisica za maraton do svakodnevnih, casual komada.

Nove trkaće tenisice brenda bit će svijetlo narančaste s primjesama ružičaste, a ova je boja odabrana upravo zbog izraženog kontrasta koji stvara naspram plave atletske staze.

NEW DELHI: Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia’s “All We Imagine As Light” on Thursday scripted history by becoming the first Indian title in over 40 years to feature in the prestigious Competition section of the Cannes Film Festival, where it will vie for the top prize Palme d’Or.

Iris Knobloch, president of the Cannes Festival, and Thierry Fremaux, General Delegate, announced the official selection line-up for the 2024 edition of the gala at a press conference streamed live from Cannes, France.

Besides Kapadia, British-Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri’s “Santosh” will also be showcased at the 77th edition of the film gala.

The movie will be screened under the Un Certain Regard section.

Kapadia’s “All We Imagine As Light” will be presented under the main segment alongside 19 other highly anticipated titles, including films from master directors Francis Ford Coppola (“Megalopolis”) and Yorgos Lanthimos (“Kinds of Kindness”).

“Oh Canada” by Paul Schrader, “Bird” by Andrea Arnold, “The Shrouds” by David Cronenberg, and “Anora” by Sean Baker are also part of the main Competition slate.

Kapadia, an alumna of the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII), is best known for her acclaimed documentary “A Night of Knowing Nothing”, which premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival’s Director’s Fortnight side-bar where it won the Oeil d’or (Golden Eye) award.

“All We Imagine As Light”, also written by Kapadia, marks her narrative feature debut.

The film is about Prabha, a nurse, who receives an unexpected gift from her long estranged husband that throws her life into disarray.

Znanstvenici: Ovaj simptom pojavljuje se ujutro, a može biti znak srčane bolesti

KARDIOVASKULARNE bolesti (KVB) vodeći su uzrok smrti u svijetu, a svake godine odnose oko 17.9 milijuna života, prema podacima Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije (WHO). To uključuje sva stanja koja utječu na srce i krvožilni sustav, kao što su koronarna bolest srca, moždani udar i zatajenje srca.

Ako se rano ne otkrije i ne liječi, kardiovaskularna bolest može biti kobna. Stoga je uočavanje znakova upozorenja vrlo važno. Neki dobro poznati znakovi problema sa srcem uključuju bol u prsima i otežano disanje. Međutim, novo istraživanje koje su proveli znanstvenici Roman Tikhomirov, Robert H. Oakley, Cali Anderson i kolege otkrilo je još jedan simptom koji se najčešće pojavljuje ujutro.

Istraživači su otkrili da su srčane aritmije česte odmah nakon buđenja. Aritmija je abnormalni srčani ritam, što obično znači da nam srce kuca prebrzo, presporo ili nepravilno.

Može uzrokovati:

  • Palpitacije (osjećaj lupanja u prsima)
  • Vrtoglavicu
  • Osjećaj kao da bismo se mogli “onesvijestiti”
  • Gubitak daha
  • Nelagodu u prsima
  • Osjećaj umora.

Aritmije mogu biti uzrokovane opasnim osnovnim stanjem, kao što je koronarna bolest srca, zatajenje srca, kardiomiopatija ili čak srčani udar. Međutim, ovi simptomi također mogu biti povezani s nečim manje ozbiljnim, kao što je virusna bolest, alkohol, kofein ili lijekovi.

Snimka preslatkog psića koji čeka odlazak u šetnju postala je hit, jasno je i zašto

KADA je u pitanju njihova omiljena aktivnost – šetnja, psi postaju nestrpljivi, poput Mila. Viralni video koji je snimila Mo Jaspers prikazuje štene pudle po imenu Milo kako strpljivo sjedi s uzicom pokraj ulaznih vrata, čekajući vlasnicu da ga izvede u šetnju.

Iznevjereni izraz lica šteneta oduševio je korisnike TikToka. Vlasnica psa napisala je u objavi: “Kada je mama rekla ‘idemo u šetnju’, ali je onda dobila poruku, otišla u kupaonicu, ispraznila perilicu posuđa, pa sada samo stojim ovdje već 30 minuta.” U naslovu objave piše: “Tako mi je žao, Milo.”

Video je pregledan više od 810.000 puta, a skupio je preko 83.000 lajkova. Mnoštvo korisnika u komentarima podijelilo je da su oduševljeni Milom.

“Iznevjeren, ali pun nade – tako bih opisao izraz na njegovom licu”, napisao je jedan korisnik.

Neki korisnici komentirali su kako Milo izgleda kao mala plišana igračka. Jedna korisnica napisala je: “Milo je tako sladak!”

IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans Skipper Shubman Gill Reacts Following Thrilling Win Over Rajasthan Royals, Says ‘Can’t Be Ruled Out Till Very Last Ball’

After his side recorded a pulsating last-ball win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill said he would have loved to finish the game on his own while lauding Rashid Khan for his competitiveness. He added that GT took the game deep and never lost hope till the very last ball. A fine half-century by Shubman Gill and brilliant finishing by Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan helped Gujarat Titans (GT) secure a thrilling three-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Jaipur on Wednesday. IPL 2024: Shubman Gill’s Fifty, Fine Finishing by Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia Help Gujarat Titans Seal Last-Ball Win Against Rajasthan Royals.

Speaking in the post-match presentation, the GT skipper said, “We were targeting 45 in three overs and that is very much gettable, and that was the mindset. Mathematically, it is like both batters need to score 9-ball 22 runs or so and if one of the batters goes berserk, it will get over two-three balls prior.”

Talking about his dismissal and Rashid-Tewatia’s finishing, Gill said, “I would have loved to finish the game but very happy with the way Rashid bhai and Rahul bhai finished the game. Last game also, we dominated more than 50 per cent but our bad phases were very bad. Winning the game off the last ball is a wonderful feeling. He (Rashid) is such a fantastic player, someone you always want in your team. When GT is playing, do not think that (ruling the team out of the game).

GT opted to bowl first after winning the toss. After losing Buttler and Jaiswal early, RR recovered with a massive 130-run third wicket stand between skipper Sanju Samson (68* in 38 balls, with seven fours and two sixes) and Riyan Parag (76 in 48 balls, with three fours and five sixes). RR posted 196/3 in 20 overs.

Rashid Khan (1/18) was the pick of the bowlers for GT. Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma also took a wicket each. In the run chase of 197, GT started off with a 64-run partnership between Sai Sudarshan (35 in 29 balls, with three fours and a six) and skipper Shubman Gill.

Wickets kept falling from the other end and Gill scored 72 in 44 balls, with six fours and two sixes before perishing at the score of 133 as the fifth wicket in the 16th over. A brief cameo by Shahrukh Khan (14 in eight balls, with a four and six) and later a 38-run partnership between Rahul Tewatia (22 in 11 balls, with three fours) and Rashid (24* in 11 balls, with four boundaries) infused life into the match again. Rashid finished off the chase with a four on the final ball. IPL 2024: ‘Last Ball of the Game’ Sanju Samson’s Response on Where Rajasthan Royals Lost to Gujarat Titans Goes Viral.

Kuldip Sen (3/41) and Yuzvendra Chahal (2/43) were the top bowlers for RR. Avesh Khan also took a wicket. GT is now in the sixth spot in the table, with three wins and three losses, giving them six points. RR have suffered their first loss after four wins and with eight points, they are still at the top of the tally. Rashid took home the ‘Player of the Match’ award.

victim urges Kerala HC for fresh probe into illegal access of visuals

KOCHI: The victim in the 2017 actress assault case has moved the Kerala High Court urging it to order a fresh investigation into the alleged illegal access of the visuals of the incident contained in a memory card and a pen drive by different persons while these devices were in the custody of the subordinate courts.

In her plea, the victim has claimed that a mere reading of the inquiry report with regard to the illegal access of the devices indicates that the authority carrying out the probe “never conducted a fair, free and complete” investigation as directed by the High Court.

The victim has contended that the report is liable to be quashed and urged that a fresh probe be carried out by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under supervision of the High Court to uphold the majesty of law, maintain the purity of the legal system and protect her right to privacy.

She has alleged that service of the police and other expert agencies were directed to be utilised in the probe, but the same were “deliberately avoided” by the inquiry authority “to hide the material fact that the visuals were copied and transmitted by many persons known and unknown” when the devices were in custody of different courts.

The inquiry authority is the District and Sessions Judge, Ernakulam, who is the trial judge in the assault case. He was also directed by the High Court to look into the alleged access of the two devices.

She has claimed that the two devices were actually in the personal custody of judicial officers and staff and not in the safe custody of any court.

The actress has also alleged that no attempt was even made to trace out the electronic gadgets used to access the visuals in the two devices and that the inquiry authority wrongly accepted the versions of the culprits that their mobile phones were either lost or destroyed without verifying whether they were telling the truth.

She has contended that she was deliberately kept away from the inquiry and was not even allowed to make written submissions on the supply of materials collected in the inquiry.

CLSA warns Vodafone Idea share price could drop to ₹5

Even as Vodafone Idea (Vi) is looking to do a follow-on public offer to raise ₹20,000 crore, analysts at CLSA warned that shares of the cash-strapped telecom operator could drop as much as 61 per cent to ₹5, if the company continues to see subscriber churn.

The latest data from telecom regulator, TRAI, reveal Vi reported a loss of one million subscribers to 221 million in February 2024 amounting to a 17-million loss over the past 12 months.

Low capex

Vi’s subscriber loss is due to low capex of ₹1,300 crore over nine months in FY24, down 54 per cent year on year and 93 per cent lower than Bharti Airtel’s India mobile capex of ₹19,300 crore. Meanwhile Vi’s equity raising of up to ₹20,000 crore is pending and will boost capex and enable the rollout of 5G services.

“Beyond capex and 5G rollout, Vi faces a financial crunch in FY26 when annual spectrum and AGR payments of $4 billion per annum will fall due, unless the government converts debt principal to equity at the end of the moratorium. We retain SELL on Vi with a ₹5 target price. Falling subs add risks to our forecasts and also with pending AGR case relief,” CLSA said in a report.

Vodafone Idea shares closed at ₹12.93 per share on the BSE on Wednesday.

Dijetetičarke preporučuju da često jedemo ove vrste voća, ne sadrže puno šećera

UZ REDOVITO jedenje voća povezuju se mnoge zdravstvene dobrobiti. Voće se preporučuje jesti i kako bi se zadovoljila potreba za šećerom, kojeg ima znatno manje nego u slatkišima, kolačima i sličnim namirnicama. Dijetetičarke Erika Barrera i Colette Micko izdvojile su nekoliko vrsti voća koje su jako zdrave i poznate po tome što ne sadrže puno prirodnog šećera, u kojima možete uživati bez brige od viška kalorija.

Breskve

Ukusne breskve imaju manje od 13 grama šećera te sadrže i druge hranjive tvari poput vlakana, kalija, vitamina A i C. Također, sadrže topiva i netopiva vlakna. Topiva vlakna održavaju razinu kolesterola pod kontrolom, dok netopiva vlakna pomažu s probavom, sprječavajući zatvor. 

Naranče

Iako je sok od naranče bogat šećerom, to nije slučaj sa samim voćem jer su za jednu čašu soka najčešće potrebne do tri naranče. Jedna cijela naranča sadrži 12 grama šećera i dobar je izvor vlakana, vitamina C te esencijalnih nutrijenata poput kalija i folata, prenosi Eat This, Not That.

Grejp

Dijetetičari su grejp izdvojili kao voće s niskim udjelom šećera; polovica grejpa sadrži manje od 11 grama šećera. Ovo citrusno voće bogato je vitaminima A i C koji pomažu u održavanju imunološkog sustava. Grejp se može kombinirati s drugim voćem, a jedan od popularnijih načina konzumacije je u ukusnom i prirodnom voćnom soku s drugim citrusima.

Jagode

Jagode su popularno voće poznato po svojim dobrobitima. Imaju nizak udio šećera, samo sedam grama na jednoj šalici jagoda, prenosi Eat This, Not That. Kombinacija vlakana, antioksidansa i kalija u jagodama odlično utječe na zdravlje srca. 

Maline

Jedna šalica malina sadrži pet grama prirodnog šećera, a također su poznate i kao voće koje nema puno kalorija te sadrži nevjerojatno visok sadržaj vlakana. Samo jedna šalica sadrži osam grama vlakana, što je više od jedne četvrtine dnevnog unosa od 25 do 34 grama, koliko se preporučuje odraslima.

Maca prije 7 godina udomljena iz skloništa. Sad je opet tamo završila

MAČKA po imenu Thelma je sedam godina živjela sa ženom kojoj je nedavno dijagnosticirana demencija te je na kraju završila u skloništu nakon što se žena morala preseliti u novi dom.

“Thelma je bila mačka koja je znala umirila ljude, čak i kad je bila manja, i odmah se povezala s jednom ženom koja ju je usvojila. Vlasnica je patila od depresije i Thelma joj je puno pomogla. Bile su zajedno sve ove godine, ali nažalost, ženi je nedavno dijagnosticirana demencija i morala je otići u starački dom i nije mogla povesti Thelmu sa sobom”, rekao je volonter Rich Adamonis iz skloništa u New Jerseyju.

Prije par dana se vratila u sklonište

Thelma je prvi put dovedena u sklonište 2017. godine gdje je ubrzo postala omiljena među volonterima zbog svoje mirne naravi. Nakon mjeseci čekanja, udomila ju je žena na sedam godina. Vratila se u sklonište u petak, 5. travnja.

“Tužna je situacija kada se životinja vrati u sklonište, ali dobro je znati da je Thelma pomogla svojoj prethodnoj vlasnici. Znamo da je Thelma imala brižan dom i dat ćemo sve od sebe da joj pronađemo drugi”, dodao je Rich.

“Gospođica Thelma ponovno je, ni kriva ni dužna, završila u skloništu. Thelma je malo nervozna i pokušava shvatiti stvari. Dajemo sve od sebe da joj pronađemo prekrasan dom”, stoji u objavi skloništa na Facebooku.

Apple smanjuje ovisnost o Kini: 14% iPhonea proizvodi se u Indiji

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.

APPLE već neko vrijeme nastoji smanjiti ovisnost o Kini zbog geopolitičkih napetosti između te zemlje i SAD-a. Poznato je da tvrtka sa sjedištem u Cupertinu već neko vrijeme cilja na Indiju kao svoj primarni drugi dom proizvodnje.

Tako već neko vrijeme kruže izvještaji koji tvrde da bi četvrtina svih iPhonea mogla biti proizvedena u Indiji do 2025. godine i da bi to moglo narasti na polovicu svih iPhonea do 2027. godine – ali dosad je napredak izgledao relativno skromno, piše 9to5Mac.

Postignut je značajan napredak

No, najnovije izvješće Bloomberga sugerira da je tijekom prošle godine postignut značajan napredak. U izvještaju stoji da je Apple Inc. u fiskalnoj godini 2024. u Indiji sastavio iPhone uređaje u vrijednosti od 14 milijardi dolara. To je dvostruko više od iznosa iz prethodnog razdoblja.

Prema izvještaju, koji citira osobe upoznate s problematikom, Apple sada proizvodi do 14% iPhonea u Indiji. Ugrubo, može se reći da je svaki sedmi iPhone sastavljen u toj zemlji.

Proizvodnja iPhonea u Indiji do sada je bila podijeljena između tri dobavljača, sa 67% proizvodnje kod Foxconna, 17% kod Pegatrona i 14% kod Wistrona. Wistron je odustao od suradnje s Appleom, a Tata Grupa je preuzela taj posao.

Paytm shares decline 4% after CEO resigns

Shares of One97 Communications, Paytm’s brand owner, on Wednesday declined 4 per cent after Paytm Payments Bank’s Managing Director and CEO, Surinder Chawla, resigned from the company.

The stock dipped 4 per cent to ₹388 on both the BSE and NSE. The company’s market valuation eroded ₹463.84 crore during morning trade.

Chawla’s resignation comes amidst Paytm Payments Bank Ltd facing prohibitory action from banking regulator RBI.

“Surinder Chawla, Managing Director and CEO of PPBL, tendered his resignation on April 8, 2024, for personal reasons and to explore better career prospects. He will be relieved from PPBL w.e.f. close of business hours on June 26, 2024, unless changed by mutual consent,” One97 Communications said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.

Chawla joined PPBL in January last year after the payments bank received approval from the Reserve Bank of India.

In major action against Paytm Payments Bank (PPBL), RBI, on January 31, directed it to stop accepting deposits or top-ups in any customer accounts, wallets, FASTags, and other instruments after February 29. Subsequently, the deadline was extended to March 15.

The direction follows persistent non-compliance and continued material supervisory concerns, the central bank had said in a statement.

One97 Communications Ltd (OCL) holds a 49 per cent stake in PPBL.

Trenerica otkrila kojih šest suplemenata uzima kako bi bila u vrhunskoj formi

DODACI prehrani ponekad su koristan dio fitness rutine jer nam mogu pomoći da ojačamo i brže se oporavimo. To tvrdi trenerica i bivša bodybuilderica, Hayley Madigan, koja kaže da se kune u šest dodataka prehrani koji joj pomažu u održavanju vrhunske forme.

“Svaki dan uzimam kreatin, proteinski prah, glutamin, ZMA (mineralni dodatak koji se sastoji od cinka, magnezij-aspartata i vitamina B6), hidroksimetilbutirat (poznat i kao HMB) i ashwagandhu”, rekla je.

Mnogi bodybuilderi i fitness entuzijasti koriste suplemente kreatina za povećanje mišićne mase, snage i performansi, prema klinici Mayo, a Madigan nije iznimka.

“Svaki dan uzimam pet grama kreatina. Koliko će vam biti potrebno ovisit će o vašoj veličini i intenzitetu vježbanja, ali općenito, ovaj dodatak je siguran za upotrebu i dobro se podnosi”, otkrila je na Instagramu.

U nastavku su ostali dodaci koje redovito koristi.

Proteinski prah

Kao jedan od tri makronutrijenta, protein ima nekoliko vitalnih funkcija u našem svakodnevnom zdravlju. Madigan uzima jednu i pol mjericu sirutke uz doručak nakon vježbanja. Tvrdi da tako ne povećava kalorijski unos, a duže je sita.

Općenito pravilo kada se radi o doziranju proteina je uzeti 0.8 grama na svaki kilogram tjelesne težine. Dakle, osoba koja teži 75 kilograma trebala bi konzumirati oko 60 grama proteina dnevno. Međutim, taj se iznos povećava ovisno o razini vaše aktivnosti. Ako dižete utege, naporno trčite ili samo želite izgraditi mišiće, možda biste trebali povećati unos na 1.1 do 1.5 grama po kilogramu tjelesne težine, prema klinici Mayo. Važno je ne prekoračiti dva grama po kilogramu tjelesne težine.

Za optimalne rezultate vježbanja stručnjaci preporučuju unos oko 20 grama proteina unutar dva sata nakon vježbanja, prema Nacionalnoj akademiji sportske medicine.

ZMA

Neki vjeruju da cink magnezij aspartat, ili ZMA, pomaže u oporavku mišića, boljem snu i čak ubrzava oporavak. Madigan tu mješavinu cinka, magnezija i vitamina B6 uzima navečer, piše The Post.

Istraživanja o ovom dodatku su ograničena, no jedna mala studija provedena na muškarcima otkrila je da, ako ste već bili u relativnoj formi, ZMA ne poboljšava oporavak niti pomaže u rastu mišića.

Ashwagandha

Ovaj drevni dodatak, koji se koristi u tradicionalnoj ayurvedskoj medicini, navodno pomaže kod nesanice i stresa. Madigan tvrdi da ga uzima kako bi se smirila.

Glutamin

Najzastupljenija aminokiselina u tijelu, glutamin, važan je građevni blok za nekoliko ključnih tjelesnih funkcija. Tijelo obično proizvodi glutamin koji mu je potreban, ali kada smo dulje vrijeme izloženi stresu ili ozljedama, može nam koristiti kao dodatak prehrani, prema Mount Sinai.

Glutamin se skladišti u mišićima i plućima, a može se pronaći u hrani poput jaja, tofua i govedine.

Hidroksimetilbutirat (HMB)

Madigan uzima HMB, nadajući se da će joj pomoći u održavanju čiste mišićne mase i općoj funkciji mišića, osobito ako trenira posebno naporno ili je pod velikim stresom.

Kao i nekoliko drugih stavki na ovom popisu, tijelo prirodno proizvodi male količine HMB-a. Iako nema mnogo istraživanja koja bi poduprla suplementaciju u pomaganju mladim, zdravim ljudima, postoje studije koje pokazuju da bi taj dodatak mogao poboljšati kognitivnu izvedbu kod starijih osoba.

VIDEO Na Plitvicama snimljena srna. Uživala je pored potoka i grickala grančice

UZ POTOK Rječicu u Nacionalnom parku Plitvička jezera snimljena je preslatka srna.

“Zahvaljujući šumskim kamerama, bolje razumijemo i štitimo divlje životinje koje obitavaju u našem nacionalnom parku. Kamere za životinje, poznate kao ‘kamera zamke’, predstavljaju jedan od najučinkovitijih i neinvazivnih načina praćenja divljih populacija u zaštićenim područjima.

Naša kamera je zabilježila srnu u njezinoj svakodnevici – uživanju u grickanju grančica i ispijanju vode iz potoka Rječice”, napisali su na Facebooku uz video srne. 

Srna je tijekom svog boravka pored potoka nekoliko puta pogledala u kameru.

Sensex scales mount 75k, hits fresh intraday high

The benchmark Sensex hit a fresh high and nudged past the psychological mark of 75,000 on Tuesday before slipping in late trade due to profit booking.

  • Also read:Markets settle lower after hitting record peaks in intra-day; Sensex breaches 75,000-milestone

The gauge has taken more than three years for its journey to 75,000 from 50,000 and has zoomed nearly 3x from the lows it hit in March 2020. The combined market capitalisation of shares listed on the BSE hit ₹400 lakh crore for the first time on Monday.

On Tuesday, the 30-share index declined 58 points or 0.08 per cent to settle at 74,683.70 after hitting 75,124 intraday. The Nifty slid 0.1 per cent to 22,642 after making a fresh high earlier in the day. Nifty Bank index also registered a fresh record high at 48,960.

Cash market volumes on the NSE was down to ₹0.89 lakh crore. Broad market indices fell a little more than the Nifty even as the advance decline ratio fell to 0.71:1.

Gainers and losers

Apollo Hospitals and Hindalco were the top Nifty shares with gains of 3.1 per cent and 2.1 per cent, respectively. Titan, down 1.86 per cent, was the top loser. Among sectors, metal index outperformed, rallied over 1 per cent whereas Media index shed over 1 per cent.

Skymet Weather Services said on Tuesday that this year’s southwest monsoon, which lasts from June to September, would likely be normal. The private weather forecasting agency estimates it to be around 102 per cent of the long-term average, with a margin of error of 5 per cent on either side.

FPIs sold shares worth ₹593 crore on Tuesday, while domestic institutions bought shares worth ₹2,257 crore.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said, “Concerns have emerged amidst recent better-than-anticipated US employment and manufacturing data, suggesting a potential shift in expectations regarding rate cuts this year. Moreover, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, alongside supply concerns, have propelled crude prices upward, impacting overall market sentiment. In the near term, the focus will shift to Q4 earnings, which will kick off this weekend.”

European equities fell in early trading on Tuesday while Asian stocks from Tokyo to Hong Kong closed higher, as investors looked forward to a US inflation report and its impact on interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve. Wall Street ended mixed on Monday.

  • Also read:Indian equity capital markets break records with $14.6 billion in Q1 fundraising, up 161.9% YoY

According to Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, there is no confirmation of any significant top reversal pattern forming at the highs. At the same time, 22750-22800 is expected to be a crucial overhead resistance for the short term, while immediate support is at 22500 levels. A decisive break below this support could trigger short-term downward correction in the market, he said..

BEZ ODREĐENIH vitamina, minerala i aminokiselina možemo postati slabi, što potencijalno može dovesti do neželjenih nuspojava, kao što su različite bolesti. To može postati još veći rizik ako smo na dijeti i smanjujemo unos kalorija. TV doktor i samoprozvani zdravstveni stručnjak, dr. Michael Mosley, na svojoj web stranici upozorio je na manjak određenih nutrijenata koji bi mogao uzrokovati ozbiljne probleme.

Prema dr. Mosleyu, proteini su ključni za održavanje zdravlja kostiju, ubrzavanje metabolizma i smanjenje rizika od kroničnih zdravstvenih stanja poput osteoporoze i bolesti srca. Kako izvještava Bristol Live, trebali bismo težiti unosu 60 grama proteina dnevno, čak i ako ograničavamo unos kalorija na 800 dnevno.

Dr. Mosley upozorio je na sljedećih pet znakova koji upozoravaju na manjak proteina.

  1. Redoviti osjećaj gladi
  2. Umor i promjene raspoloženja
  3. Slaba kosa, koža i nokti
  4. Gubitak mišićne mase
  5. Povećana želja za šećerom.

“Ovo je tako dobra ideja”: Evo kako ćete udvostručiti prostor u svojem ormaru

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.

BEZ OBZIRA na to koliko je vaš ormar velik ili malen, uvijek mu dobro dođe više prostora. Srećom, malo više prostora uvijek je moguće dobiti određenim trikovima. Police su dio ormara koji puno pomaže pri organizaciji, no mnogi ih krenu neorganizirano natrpavati, zbog čega nastaje nered. Prostor izgleda pretrpano te se gubi njegov potencijal.

“Sviđa mi se što sve mogu vidjeti”

Tiktokerica Jess (@xoyourgirljess) pronašla je odlično rješenje. Na police svojeg ormara dodala je još jedan red laganih, žičanih polica koje ne zauzimaju puno prostora, a značajno olakšavaju organizaciju. Zapravo je dobila dvostruko više prostora u ormaru.

“Ove žičane police namijenjene su kuhinjskim elementima, ali odlične su ako želite dodati red polica u svoj ormar”, rekla je u videu. “Sviđa mi se što sve mogu vidjeti, to me stvarno jako veseli”.

“Isprobat ću ovo”, “Ovo je tako dobra ideja, hvala ti”, “Hvala ti na ovom simpatičnom i jeftinom triku”, “Lijepo”, “Sviđa mi se ova ideja”, “Hvala ti na triku, isprobat ću ga” neki su od komentara na njezin video.

Ako vam se police miču u ormaru, pričvrstite ih gumicama ili PVC vezicama. Moguće ih je nabaviti u raznim bojama.

Mahesh Manjrekar joins the cast of Darshan’s ‘Devil’

Darshan’s latest venture, ‘Devil – The Hero’, written and directed by Prakash Veer, kicked off its filming on March 22nd with a few action-packed sequences. The team, which has successfully wrapped up their first schedule, is gearing up for the next phase of shooting. They are scheduled to resume once Darshan recovers from his hand injury, for which he underwent an operation recently.

Meanwhile, excitement brews as the cast is getting finalised, and according to our reliable source, the team of ‘Devil’ has brought on board acclaimed multilingual actor Mahesh Manjrekar. The artist, popular in Hindi and known for his versatile performances across various platforms including reality shows and web series, boasts a filmography in various Indian languages including Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, and Bhojpuri, as well as in International cinema. Mahesh made a brief appearance in a Kannada film, ‘Encounter Dayanayak’ in 2005. Now, after two decades he is all set to make a comeback in Kannada cinema with ‘Devil’.

Director Prakash Veer is known for his meticulous approach to casting and the makers believe that the pairing of Darshan and Mahesh Manjrekar would be fresh and bring a new dimension to the commercial entertainer. However, details about Mahesh’s character remain under wraps. The source adds that the makers are also in the process of zeroing in on the female and supporting cast.

The first look teaser of ‘Devil’, revealed early this year, has already generated considerable buzz among fans who are looking forward to watching it on the big screen when it releases this year. The film is presented by Jai Matha Combines and produced by J Jayanna and Prakash Veer under Vaishno Studios banner. Music composer Ajaneesh Lokanath marks his first collaboration with Darshan, while DOP Sudhakar S Raj will handle the cinematography for ‘Devil’.

Četiri navike koje štete zdravlju jetre, prema liječnicima

OPĆE je poznato da prekomjerno pijenje može dovesti do niza zdravstvenih problema: visokog krvnog tlaka, bolesti srca, probavnih problema, bolesti jetre, a popis se nastavlja. Osim prekomjerne konzumacije alkohola, postoje i druge navike koje bi također mogle štetiti našoj jetri, od kojih bi nas neke čak mogle iznenaditi. Liječnici su izdvojili četiri takve navike.

1. Loša prehrana

Nealkoholna masna bolest jetre (NAFLD) relativno je čest nalaz. Ponekad može dovesti do nealkoholnog steatohepatitisa, ciroze i zatajenja jetre, što je potencijalno smrtonosno stanje, objašnjava liječnica obiteljske medicine, dr. Allison Edwards, za Parade. 

Povezuje se s pretilošću, dijabetesom i inzulinskom rezistencijom, ali dobra je vijest da pomnim praćenjem prehrane često možemo preduhitriti ovu progresiju ako se rano uhvati. Previše rafiniranog šećera može dovesti do bolesti jetre, stoga je važno ograničiti unos gaziranih pića, slatkiša i prerađene hrane.

2. Konzumacija “detox” napitaka

Većina onoga što možemo učiniti da pomognemo jetri održati tijelo zdravim jest konzumirati zdravu, cjelovitu hranu i izbjegavati neprovjerene napitke za detoksikaciju. Iako većina možda neće značajno naškoditi našoj jetri, jednostavno nisu potrebni, objašnjava dr. Edwards.

3. Nedostatak sna

Postoje podaci koji pokazuju da OSA (opstruktivna apneja za vrijeme spavanja) zapravo može izazvati nealkoholnu masnu bolest jetre. Čini se da se to događa na temelju povećanja razine inzulinske rezistencije ili neravnoteže lipida (poput kolesterola LDL i HDL) i triglicerida, navodi psiholog specijaliziran za istraživanje i obrazovanje o spavanju, dr. Michael Breus.

Ako pacijent s OSA ima i metabolički sindrom te pretilost, to može pogoršati NAFLD. Nedostatak sna može uzrokovati inzulinsku rezistenciju, što dovodi do disfunkcije jetre, dodaje dr. Breus.

4. Ignoriranje naljepnica i nepoštivanje uputa na pakiranjima proizvoda

Važno je čitati etikete za proizvode u slobodnoj prodaji. Pregršt proizvoda koji se prodaju kao lijekovi bez recepta ili kao dodaci prehrani, poput vitamina A, određenih ekstrakata zelenog čaja i drugih koji se prodaju kao pomoć u prehrani ili dizanju utega, zapravo mogu naškoditi jetri ako se ne uzimaju prema uputama na pakiranju, zaključuje dr. Edwards.

VIDEO Mačka se zaljubila u svog susjeda, pogledajte kako se ponaša kad ga ugleda

MAČKA je totalno zaljubljena u svog susjeda.

Kad god čuje da dolazi, mačka traži vlasnicu da je pusti u hodnik zgrade. Kad ga ugleda, baca se po podu i traži ga da je mazi. 

Voli sve susjede, pogotovo one koji nose naočale, i želi se igrati s njima. No jedan susjed joj je najdraži. 

“Voli sve u vezi njega. Baci se na pod kad god ga vidi”, kaže vlasnica za The Dodo. Korisnici TikToka šale se kako joj njena ljubimica zapravo želi srediti spoj s tim dečkom.

Stigao je novi sat G-Shock Mr-G Frogman s narukvicom od titana

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.

G-SHOCK konstantno širi svoju ponudu zanimljivim novitetima, od niza suradnji do ponude postojećih modela u novim bojama i s pojedinim modifikacijama. Marka je tako upravo predstavila novo izdanje MR-G Frogmana – MRG-BF1000B-1A. Ono što se kod ovog sata ističe jest njegova u potpunosti metalna izrada.

Ovaj ronilački sat s otpornošću na vodu od 200 metara krase asimetričan dizajn te karakter ronilačke žabe. Prvi Frogman lansiran 1993. godine bio je proizveden od smole, a složeni dizajn sada je od titana, pri čemu je svaka komponenta izrađena zasebno i pažljivo polirana, što doprinosi osjećaju visokokvalitetne izrade.

Preko 70 vanjskih komponenti korišteno je za izradu sata, uključujući O-prsten za vodootpornost i posebne amortizere za što bolju otpornost na udarce – sve to zadržavajući ljepotu oblika po kojoj je linija MR-G poznata. Dimenzije sata su 56 (D) x 49.7 (Š) x 18.6 (V) mm, a težak je 170 grama, što pruža solidan osjećaj na zapešću dok istovremeno naglašava njegovu robusnost.

Osim lijepog izgleda, nudi i neke korisne značajke

Stražnje kućište sata upečatljive je crvene boje, a izrađeno je od safirnog kristala. Tu se nalazi i ronilačka žaba Frogman. Narukvica sata od titana proširiva je tako da se može nositi i preko ronilačkog odijela. 

Marka ističe da sat, osim lijepog izgleda, pruža i superiornu funkcionalnost. Tako je opremljen Bluetooth tehnologijom i Tough Solar punjenjem.

Dodatno, zahvaljujući Bluetooth vezi i povezivanju s aplikacijom na pametnom telefonu, sat nudi automatsko podešavanje vremena, automatsko prebacivanje na ljetno računanje vremena (DST), svjetska vremena za oko 300 gradova, jednostavno podešavanje sata, postavke grafa plime za oko 3300 globalnih točaka, kao i funkciju pronalaska telefona.

Sat će ovoga mjeseca prvo biti pušten u prodaju u Japanu, a kasnije bi trebalo slijediti i globalno lansiranje. Cijena bi mu trebala biti oko 4300 eura. Više o satu pogledajte ovdje.

Beyonce’s country album tops Billboard chart, her eighth #1

NEW YORK: Beyonce’s blockbuster country album “Cowboy Carter” has debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart — the eighth number one album of her storied career.

She also became the first Black woman to top Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with the 27-track second act in her “Renaissance” trilogy.

“Cowboy Carter,” which dropped on March 29, debuted with 407,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending April 4, according to Billboard and music industry data provider Luminate.

It is the best debut of 2024 so far and also the biggest since Taylor Swift dropped “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” in November 2023, Billboard said.

“Cowboy Carter” is a rowdy, wide-ranging homage to Beyonce’s southern heritage and features a constellation of music stars, from country legends Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson to current hitmakers Miley Cyrus and Post Malone.

Parton introduces the album’s take on “Jolene,” drawing parallels between her own original tale of a lover fearing betrayal with Beyonce’s personalized version, and appears with Nelson as radio hosts of a fictional broadcast.

The album, which has been lauded by critics, was already the “most-streamed album in a single day in 2024 so far” on Spotify.

Nashville’s gatekeepers have long tried to promote a rigid view of country music that is overwhelmingly white and male.

But Beyonce shatters that notion, taking listeners through country’s evolution from African American spirituals and fiddle tunes.

She dropped the album’s first two singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” during the Super Bowl in February and announced the full album’s release date.

She also Paul McCartney’s Beatles song “Blackbiird,” stylized with the double-i spelling to match “Act II.”

Dijetetičarka izdvojila četiri zdravstvene dobrobiti redovite konzumacije avokada

AVOKADO je popularno voće koje mnogi ljudi vole jesti u različitim kombinacijama. Kremaste je boje i blagog, orašastog okusa te je poznat po brojnim hranjivim tvarima. Ova namirnica sadrži zdrave masti, vitamine i minerale, što ga čini izvrsnim izborom za redovitu konzumaciju u prehrani.

Dijetetičarka Kejal Shah izdvojila je nekoliko zdravstvenih dobrobiti koje se povezuju s redovitim jedenjem avokada.

Povećava unos hranjivih tvari

Avokado je nutritivno bogata namirnica, sadrži vitamine, minerale i zdrave masti. Prema studiji objavljenoj u časopisu Nutrients, avokado je bogat nutrijentima poput magnezija, vitamina B6, C i E, folata i kalija. Dijetetičarka Shah ističe da jedenje avokada “može potaknuti pojedince da daju prednost drugoj hrani bogatoj hranjivim tvarima kao nadopunu avokadu”.

Utječe na osjećaj sitosti

Bogat vlaknima i zdravim mastima, avokado može pomoći u promicanju osjećaja sitosti i zadovoljstva nakon obroka. S time se slaže i dijetetičarka koja ističe: “Uključivanje avokada u obroke može spriječiti prejedanje i grickanje manje hranjive hrane. To može dovesti do uravnoteženijeg i pažljivijeg pristupa prehrani.”

Prema Health Shots, studija objavljena u Current Developments in Nutrition navodi da je konzumacija avokada povezana s povećanom sitošću, gubitkom težine, kao i smanjenjem abdominalne masnoće.

Poboljšava zdravlje crijeva

Avokado je bogat dijetalnim vlaknima, koja su važna za zdravlje probave i rad crijeva te mogu pomoći u regulaciji tjelesne težine potičući osjećaj sitosti. Također, vlakna pomažu u regulaciji razine šećera u krvi. Ova namirnica može se kombinirati u slatkim i slanim jelima, što ljudima koji vole avokado omogućava da eksperimentiraju s različitim tehnikama kuhanja i pripreme obroka, prenosi Health Shots.

Smanjuje rizik od srčanih bolesti

Avokado pomaže kod kolesterola i pozitivno utječe na zdravlje srca. Redovita konzumacija ovog voća povećava dobar HDL kolesterol, koji štiti srce i smanjuje oksidirani loš LDL kolesterol. Loš kolesterol odgovoran je za nakupljanje plaka na stijenkama arterija, prema studiji objavljenoj u Journal of Nutrition. Na promicanje zdravlja srca utječe i to što je avokado bogat kalijem i magnezijem, koji utječu na regulaciju krvnog tlaka.

Lijen ili genijalan? Ovaj dodatak postao je obavezan u kuhinjama slavnih

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.

HAILEY BIEBER ima ovaj dodatak u svojoj kuhinji, kao i Amanda Seyfried, Kendall Jenner, ali čini se da ga Meghan i Harry također imaju, barem sudeći po crno-bijelim fotografijama koje su podijeljene u njihovoj Netflix seriji.

 

Stoga, ako se sudi po brojnim celebovima, čini se da je novi neophodan kuhinjski dodatak postala slavina za toplu, odnosno vruću, vodu koja se postavlja iznad ploče za kuhanje, u zid, prenosi Daily Mail. 

Amanda Seyfried pokazala je svoju za Architectural Digest

Ove slavine omogućuju punjenje lonaca i drugog posuđa vrućom vodom, štedeći vrijeme potrebno za zagrijavanje vode u kuhalu ili loncu na ploči za kuhanje. Osim toga, eliminiraju potrebu za hodanjem do slavine, punjenjem lonca te potom nošenja natrag do ploče za kuhanje. Zbog toga neki ovaj dodatak nazivaju i lijenom slavinom. 

Kao što smo već naveli, fan ovakve slavine je Amanda Seyfried, koja je svoju pokazala tijekom YouTube obilaska doma za Architectural Digest. Tada ju je pohvalila te rekla da izgleda prekrasno u kuhinji.

Hailey Bieber je isto prije nekoliko mjeseci objavila video u kojem je pokazala svoju kuhinju. Odmah na početku videa iza nje bila je vidljiva ovakva slavina u zlatnoj boji, smještena na zidu iznad ploče za kuhinje. 

Mogu se naručiti online

Kod nas ovakve slavine nisu uobičajene u kuhinjama, a i pregledom ponude u našim trgovinama čini se da ih nema, ili su dostupne varijante koje nitko ne bi s ponosom pokazivao u svojoj kuhinji. Doduše, mogu se pronaći online. 

Nadamo se da će se ovakve zidne kuhinjske slavine za toplu vodu pojaviti i u trgovinama kod nas, jer ipak je lakše kada se ovakav dodatak može vidjeti uživo. Izdvojili smo ih nekoliko, koje smo pronašli u online trgovinama poput Amazona i Temua.

Acceptance of independent films has grown stronger in India in the past few years and PVR INOX Pictures’ endeavour is to bring more such titles to audiences here, whether it’s a film like “Past Lives” or their latest acquisition “Civil War”, says Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, executive director, PVR INOX Ltd.

“Civil War”, directed by Alex Garland of “Ex Machina” and “Annihilation” fame, revolves around a team of military-embedded journalists who embark on a risky journey across a dystopian future US to reach Washington DC before rebel factions attack the White House.

Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman, the film will hit Indian screens on April 19.

“Acceptance of independent films is a lot stronger now (in India). We started the motion picture arm of PVR INOX about 24 years ago and we would bring small films like ‘Talented Mr Ripley’ and others but people didn’t know much about it and it was tougher to push. But now there is more acceptance and awareness,” Bijli told PTI.

“Our endeavour always remains to bring independent films to India across all languages. We focus (more) on English because that’s the language most people would like to watch their films in. But we’ve been doing Japanese films, Spanish and other languages as well because we have a large network of screens. We want to be able to show all kinds of films to the Indian audiences,” he said.

The multiplex chain organised a premiere of “Civil War” at PVR Directors Cut, Vasant Kunj on Sunday.

Bijli said they have had great success not only with Korean-English movie “Past Lives” but also with German-Polish-Yiddish film “The Zone of Interest” and “Anatomy of a Fall” (French-English) as well as past hits such as “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and “The Whale”, both American titles.

Crediting social media for making the world smaller, Bijli said they have a social listening programme that helps them identify the kind of independent movies Indian audiences are curious about.

The next step is an earnest attempt at acquisition, something that happened in the case of “Civil War” which received positive reviews from critics upon its world premiere at the South by Southwest film festival last month.

“Everybody already knows about ‘Civil war’ because there’s so much chatter on social media…It makes our life a little easier. We got the script of ‘Civil War’ last year at the American Film Market. We fell in love with it when we read it. We made the deal at the script stage itself because we thought it was Alex Garland, Kirsten Dunst, and it had an incredible story.

“Then, we finally saw the film in Berlin (film festival) this year on IMAX…It’s one of the very few commercial genre films coming out of A24,” he said, adding that they have had a fruitful collaboration with the studio, known for championing independent films.

While big Hollywood titles come to India on their own, Bijli said a lot of their work entails circling major international film festivals and scouting for independent movies that will resonate with audiences in India.

“Independent films by nature are small budget and slightly niche, but they have an audience and some of them break out.

Like ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ went on to win best picture Oscar last year.

“‘The Zone of Interest’ and ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ also won Oscars….Past Lives was nominated for best picture and original screenplay…So these are the little risks you have to take…You need to sort of go and acquire these films which you feel very strongly about and they sometimes become massive hits.

“While Celine Song’s feature directorial debut “Past Lives” did not win an Oscar, both “The Zone of Interest” and “Anatomy of a Fall”, registered wins at the Oscars.

“The Zone of Interest” by Jonathan Glazer won the Oscar for best international feature and best sound and “Anatomy of a Fall” by Justine Triet won in best original screenplay category.

Describing “Civil War” a hard-hitting drama, Bijli said Garland’s film is “one of the big ones” in terms of budget and scale.

“The journey from acquisition to release is a long one. We signed the film a year and half ago, but it is finally ready for release. I’m excited about ‘Civil War because I’ve seen it and I think it’s a very strong film,” he added.

Mladi i teretane: Novi val kulture fitnessa i zdravlja

U SVIJETU gdje Instagram i YouTube diktiraju trendove, mladi su pronašli novu arenu za izražavanje i samoostvarenje – teretane. Ovo nije samo priča o želji za savršenim tijelom, već o rastućoj svijesti mladih o važnosti fizičke aktivnosti i zdravog života. Teretane su postale centri zajednice gdje se mladi okupljaju ne samo da bi radili na svom fizičkom izgledu, već i da bi gradili mentalnu snagu i otpornost.

 

Više od dizanja težina

Za mnoge mlade, teretana je postala utočište od svakodnevnog stresa i pritiska. Osim što su mjesto gdje mogu raditi na svojim fitness ciljevima, teretane nude i prostor za društveno povezivanje i razmjenu iskustava. Fitness instruktori i treneri postaju mentori, dok su suvježbači često izvor motivacije i podrške. Ovo okruženje potiče ne samo fizičku, već i emocionalnu i socijalnu dobrobit.

 

Fitness kao stil života

Danas mladi pristupaju fitnessu s holističkim pristupom, gdje se ističe ravnoteža između tjelesne aktivnosti, pravilne prehrane i mentalnog zdravlja. Radionice o pravilnoj prehrani, mindfulness sesije i grupni treninzi postaju standardni dio ponude teretana, dok aplikacije za praćenje fitnessa i zdravlja omogućuju mladima da svoj napredak prate u stvarnom vremenu.

 

Digitalni svijet i fitness

Uloga društvenih mreža u promociji fitness kulture među mladima ne može se zanemariti. Influenceri i fitness modeli dijele svoje rutine, savjete za prehranu i motivacijske poruke, stvarajući globalnu zajednicu koja inspirira mlade da preuzmu kontrolu nad svojim zdravljem i dobrobiti. Ipak, važno je naglasiti potrebu za kritičkim razmišljanjem o realnosti prikazanoj na društvenim mrežama, promičući zdrave i realistične ciljeve.

 

Izazovi i prilike

Unatoč brojnim pozitivnim aspektima, mladi se suočavaju i s izazovima u fitness svijetu, uključujući pritisak za postizanje “savršenog” tijela i rizik od prekomjernog vježbanja. Edukacija o zdravom pristupu fitnessu i tjelesnoj aktivnosti ključna je za rješavanje ovih pitanja.

 

Budućnost je svijetla

Kako se kultura fitnessa i zdravlja nastavlja razvijati, mladi su na čelu pokreta koji ne samo da oblikuje tijela, već i umove. Teretane više nisu samo mjesto za vježbanje; one su postale središta za promicanje cjelokupnog blagostanja i zdravog načina života. S rastućom svijesti o važnosti mentalnog zdravlja i emocionalne dobrobiti, očekuje se da će ova evolucija kulture fitnessa i zdravlja među mladima donijeti još više inovativnih pristupa i prilika za rast i razvoj.

Kako održati bjelinu perzijske mačke?

PERZIJSKE mačke su poznate po svojoj elegantnoj ljepoti, posebno one s bijelim krznom, koje odiše posebnom gracioznošću. Da bi se očuvala njihova prepoznatljiva bijela boja i osiguralo da njihovo krzno ostane mekano i sjajno, potrebna je posebna njega. Evo detaljnog vodiča koji obuhvaća ključne aspekte njege perzijskih mačaka s bijelim krznom:

Redovno četkanje i raspetljavanje

Bijelo krzno perzijskih mačaka može lako pokupiti prljavštinu i postati zapetljano. Redovito četkanje, idealno svakodnevno, pomaže u uklanjanju mrtve dlake, sprječava stvaranje čvorova i održava krzno sjajnim. Koristite četku s mekanim čekinjama ili specijalizirani češalj za mačke kako biste nežno pročešljali krzno, posebno na područjima gdje se lako stvaraju čvorovi, poput ispod ruku i oko vrata.

Kupanje

Perzijske mačke s bijelim krznom mogu zahtijevati češća kupanja od mačaka s tamnijim krznom kako bi se održala čistoća i sjaj njihove dlake. Preporučuje se kupanje svaka 4 do 6 tjedana koristeći blagi šampon za mačke koji je posebno formuliran za bijelu dlaku.

To pomaže ukloniti žutilo i održati prirodni sjaj. Nakon kupanja, pažljivo osušite mačku sušilom za kosu postavljenim na nisku temperaturu kako biste izbjegli prekomjerno isušivanje kože.

Održavanje očiju

Perzijske mačke često imaju problema s suzenjem očiju zbog svojih kratkih nosova, što može ostaviti mrlje na bijelom krznu. Redovito brisanje područja oko očiju mekom, vlažnom krpom pomoći će ukloniti suze i spriječiti stvaranje mrlja. Postoje i posebni proizvodi za čišćenje koji mogu pomoći u uklanjanju tvrdokornih mrlja.

Pravilna prehrana

Kvalitetna prehrana je ključna za održavanje zdravlja i ljepote krzna vaše mačke. Hrana bogata omega-3 i omega-6 masnim kiselinama može pomoći u održavanju sjaja i mekoće krzna. Također, osigurajte da vaša mačka ima stalni pristup svježoj vodi kako bi ostala hidratizirana, što je važno za održavanje zdrave kože i krzna.

Redovita veterinarska kontrola

Redoviti veterinarski pregledi su važni za održavanje općeg zdravlja vaše mačke, uključujući zdravlje njezina krzna i kože. Veterinar može preporučiti specifične dodatke prehrani ili tretmane ako primijeti bilo kakve probleme.

Actor in spinoff of popular TV western ‘Yellowstone’ is found dead, authorities say

MISSION, Kan.: An actor who appeared in a spinoff of the popular television western “Yellowstone” was found dead after he went missing amid a domestic violence investigation in Kansas, authorities said Friday.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that deputies found the body of 27-year-old Cole Brings Plenty in a wooded area. Crime scene investigators and the medical examiner were at the location, but no details were released about a cause of death.

Two days earlier Brings Plenty was charged in a nearby county with aggravated burglary, domestic battery and criminal restraint. An arrest warrant was issued.

Police in the town of Lawrence said officers responded Sunday to an apartment where a woman was screaming for help, and Brings Plenty had left before they arrived.

He then missed an audition for an upcoming film project that was scheduled for Monday morning over Zoom, his agent, Peter Yanke of Phirgun Mair Worldwide, said this week.

Brings Plenty’s father, Joe, said in a statement Friday that he is grateful for everyone “for their prayers and positive thoughts you sent for Cole.”

“I learned this week how many people knew the goodness in Cole’s heart and loved him,” Joe Brings Plenty Sr. said.

Cole Brings Plenty appeared in two episodes of the first season of “1923,” a Paramount+ series starring Harrison Ford that is a prequel to the Paramount Network hit “Yellowstone.” He also had recent small roles in two other Westerns from INSP TV, “Into the Wild Frontier” and “The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger.”

His uncle Mo Brings Plenty is a star of “Yellowstone” and acts as a cultural adviser for Native American issues on both that show and “1923.” He posted a flyer about his nephew’s disappearance on Instagram, and police said the family reported the younger man missing.

Pre-IPO investment sees 3x surge in FY24  

Companies that made their debut on the bourses in the last financial year raised over ₹1,300 crore by way of pre-IPO placements.

  • Also read:Unrealistic valuations could hit IPO prospects of internet companies

This is three times the amount collected through this route in the last fiscal and the highest mop-up since FY17, the year from which data is available. The amount is 1.93 per cent of the funds mobilised through IPOs in FY24.

The previous highest mop-up from such placements was in FY21 when companies raised ₹931 crore, making up 2.95 per cent of the total amount raised through IPOs that year, data from primedatabase.com, a primary market tracker showed.

Companies that garnered the most by way of such placements in FY24 include Rashi Peripherals (₹150 crore), SBFC Finance (₹150 crore), Jupiter Life Line Hospitals (₹123 crore) and Yatharth Hospital & Trauma Care Services (₹120 crore).

Pre-IPO investing refers to buying shares in a company before the issue actually opens and is typically done after the draft prospectus is filed and before the issue opens for subscription.

“Companies are able to get a pricing benchmark for their issues through a pre-IPO placements and also potentially get some marquee investors on board. Investors are assured of a certain allocation at a certain price, which may or may not be the case if they invest through the anchor or qualified institutional buyer book,” said Pranav Haldea, Managing Director, PRIME Database Group.

According to Haldea, pre-IPO placements could be particularly useful for smaller IPOs as getting marquee investors can add credibility to the issuance. Mid and small-cap companies dominated the IPO scene last year. The average deal size reduced significantly to ₹815 crore in FY24 compared to ₹1,409 crore and ₹2,105 crore in the previous two years.

The decision to do a pre-IPO is taken by the company in consultation with the investment bankers. Such placements are particularly targeted at wealthy investors and family offices.

IPO allotment

From April 1, 2022 the market regulator changed its rules for IPO allotment for wealthy investors. One-third of the shares under the NII category are allotted to HNIs with an application size of ₹2-10 lakh. The remaining is for applications of over ₹10 lakh.

“HNI allotments are now done through draw of lots. Earlier, if you put in a bid of ₹100 crore and the issue was subscribed 100 times you got an allocation of ₹1 crore.

New rules

Under the new rules, there is no guarantee that an HNI will get a higher allotment just by putting in higher bids for well-subscribed issuances. This is one reason why wealthy investors now prefer investing through pre-IPO funds,” said Munish Aggarwal, Managing Director and Head – Equity Capital Markets, Equirus.

Pre-IPO investors must compulsorily hold the shares for six months from the time of the IPO. Anchor investors are subject to a lock in of 30 days post which can sell half their holdings and the rest after 90 days.

Pre-IPO shares can be allotted at any price while anchor allotment happens within the IPO price band.

Onkologinja otkriva užinu koju jede više puta tjedno kako bi smanjila rizik od raka

UŽINA je odličan način da nahranimo tijelo između većih obroka. Zapravo, grickanje može čak pomoći u smanjenju rizika od raka. Američki institut za istraživanje raka i Svjetski fond za istraživanje raka procjenjuju da se između 30 i 40 posto svih vrsta raka može spriječiti prehranom i tjelovježbom. Dakle, puno toga ovisi o onome za čim posežemo kada nas uhvati glad.

Srećom, onkologinja dr. Lori A. Alfonse otkrila je svoju omiljenu užinu koja zadovoljava želju za grickanjem, a čak može i smanjiti rizik od raka.

Kad dr. Alfonse poželi popodnevnu užinu, posegne za šakom miješanih orašastih plodova. Omiljeni su joj bademi, indijski oraščići i pistacije. “Ova grickalica izvrstan je izvor proteina i podiže razinu energije tijekom popodnevnog umora”, rekla je za Parade.

Orašasti plodovi odličan su izvor proteina

Prema studiji iz 2023., jedenje 28 grama orašastih plodova dnevno (otprilike šaka) povezano je sa smanjenjem smrtnosti od raka za 21 posto. To je zato što su orašasti plodovi dobar izvor bioaktivnih spojeva koji pomažu smanjiti upalu te sprječavaju nastanak ili razmnožavanje stanica raka.

Orašasti plodovi su dobar izvor proteina, vlakana, vitamina E i folne kiseline, svih nutrijenata koji igraju ulogu u prevenciji raka.

Kad u trgovini kupujemo orašaste plodove kojima ćemo opskrbiti smočnicu, dr. Alfonse savjetuje da biramo one bez dodane soli ili šećera. Ako želimo dodati malo okusa svojim orašastim plodovima, možemo ih posipati različitim začinima poput ružmarina, majčine dušice, kopra ili kurkume.

Fotke dana: Prizor pred Makarskom oduševio prolaznike

FOTKA dana danas nam stiže iz Makarske.

Dva dupina doplivala su do samog grada, a u njihovoj popodnevnoj igri uhvatio ih je Pixsellov fotograf Toni Katić. Oni koji su danas bili uz obalu, mogli su promatrati prvu ovogodišnju igru ovih divnih stvorenja pred samom obalom.

Temperatura mora u Makarskoj danas je bila 15 stupnjeva.

U Jadranu ima oko 10 tisuća dupina

Iako trenutno ne postoji procjena brojnosti populacije na svjetskoj razini, na temelju provedenih istraživanja, broj dupina u Jadranu procijenjen je na oko 10 tisuća jedinki. Onečišćenje, prekomjerni izlov ribe i uništavanje staništa dovode do smanjenja brojnosti dobrih dupina i ograničavaju im dostupnost staništa.

Na fotografijama je najvjerojatnije riječ o dobrim dupinima, vjerojatno najpoznatijoj i najrasprostranjenijoj vrsti iz skupine dupina. Dobri dupin ima vretenasti, odnosno hidrodinamičan oblik tijela. Boja tijela varira u nijansama od tamnosive na leđima preko svjetlosive na bokovima i bijele na trbuhu.

Kuhinje u ovoj boji dominiraju društvenim mrežama. Novi trend na pomolu?

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.

CRNE kuhinje postaju sve popularnije na društvenim mrežama, a prema pojedinim dizajnerima interijera, one su bezvremenske. Bijele i sive kuhinje dominirale su dugi niz godina, a iako nisu izašle iz mode, svjedočimo sve većoj popularnosti tamnijih nijansi kada je riječ o kuhinji, poput tamnoplave i sada crne.

No, odluka o kupnji izrazito tamne boje kuhinje nije jednostavna i zahtijeva hrabrost kao i dobro promišljanje. Dizajnerica interijera iz ATX Interior Designa Laura Williams smatra da su crne kuhinje idealne za one koji žele dramatičan naglasak u svom domu ili dodir glamura, piše Livingetc.

“Odlučna je, lijepa i može biti bezvremenska ako se pravilno izvede. Plus, crna nikada ne izlazi iz mode – i u posljednje vrijeme je ton koji dizajneri preferiraju zbog njegove dugovječnosti.”

Zahtijeva pažljivo promišljanje

Direktorica dizajna u Frederick Tang Architecture Barbara Reyes savjetuje pažljivo promišljanje prije instalacije crne kuhinje, uzimajući u obzir prostor u kojem će biti postavljena. “Ova boja kuhinje najbolje paše u prostorijama srednje do velike veličine koje imaju puno svjetla”, naglašava, ali dodaje da postoje i slučajevi kada može dobro izgledati i u manjem prostoru bez prirodnog svjetla.

Upravo je svjetlost ključna u crnim kuhinjama pa osim one prirodne, u ovakvim kuhinjama valja se poigrati i s drugim vrstama osvjetljenja. Dizajnerica Laura preporučuje crne mat svjetiljke u crnoj kuhinji, za koje ističe da su trenutno vrlo popularne. No, kaže da i one u zemljanim nijansama dobro pašu uz crne ormariće.

Ali kuhinja ne mora biti u potpunosti crna. Za one koji žele uključiti crnu u svoju kuhinju, ali na suptilan način, preporuka je kombinirati je s drugim nijansama i materijalima – od kremastih tonova do drvenih dekora.

Obje dizajnerice naglašavaju važnost odabira prikladnih ručkica i zidnih obloga koje dodaju finalni dodir personalizacije. Laura preporučuje mesing za materijal ručkica i kaže da on posebno dolazi do izražaja na crnim ormarićima.

‘Do something better with your life’: Andrew Scott on ‘Fleabag’ fans still watching the show

Calling it a “great show” whom “we all love”, the Irish actor urged fans to move on. “Come on now, pull yourself together. Open the curtains and go outside,” he added.

“Fleabag” ended on April 8, 2019 on a tragic note for the star-crossed lovers.

Previously, Scott said he would be more than willing to return as the Hot Priest if Waller-Bridge had anything planned.

Waller-Bridge had earlier said she may return to “Fleabag” after she turns 50 and has more life experiences.

Four of the top 10 valued firms added ₹1,71,309.28 crore to their market valuation last week with HDFC Bank and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) emerging as the biggest gainers in line with an overall positive trend in equities.

On the other hand, six companies from the top 10 pack took a ₹78,127.48 crore hit to their market valuation with index major Reliance Industries accounting for the majority of the losses.

Last week, the BSE benchmark climbed 596.87 or 0.81 per cent. It hit an all-time high of 74,501.73 on April 4.

Liječnica otkriva 5 stvari koje trebamo činiti kako bismo smanjili rizik od demencije

DEMENCIJA je sindrom ili skupina simptoma koji su povezani s postupnim gubitkom kognitivnih funkcija mozga. Neki od najčešće poznatih simptoma uključuju gubitak pamćenja, zbunjenost i promjene u ponašanju. No, također može doći do problema s pokretljivošću, depresije, pa čak i halucinacija. Zbog prirode stanja, ovi se simptomi progresivno pogoršavaju tijekom vremena.

Najčešća je kod ljudi starijih od 65 godina, i zbog toga se ponekad smatra stanjem koje je gotovo neizbježno kako starimo. No, znanstvenici tvrde da se oko 40 posto slučajeva demencije može spriječiti promjenom načina života.

Jedna je stručnjakinja podijelila pet takvih promjena načina života koje bismo svi mogli poduzeti kako bismo značajno smanjili šanse za razvoj demencije. Govoreći u nedavnoj epizodi podcasta ZOE Science and Nutrition, istraživačica, profesorica starenja i zdravlja te liječnica specijalizirana za gerijatrijsku medicinu, Claire Steves, otkrila je sljedećih pet praktičnih strategija za prevenciju demencije.

1. Prehrana

Ono što jedemo igra veliku ulogu u našem cjelokupnom zdravlju i dobrobiti te može čak utjecati i na naš mozak. “Važno je da u svoju prehranu uvedete što više voća i povrća različitih boja te osigurate da unosite dobre masti biljnog podrijetla”, rekla je profesorica za Daily Express. Biljne masti uključuju orašaste plodove, sjemenke i maslinovo ulje.

2. Tjelesna aktivnost

Ako trenutno nismo previše aktivni, Steve savjetuje da se počnemo više kretati. “Izađite i hodajte 45 minuta barem tri puta tjedno. To će stvarno napraviti razliku”, savjetuje stručnjakinja.

3. Briga o oralnom zdravlju

Profesorica Steves upozorila je da postoji veza između oralnog zdravlja i zdravlja mozga. Studija iz 2020. godine otkrila je da su bakterije koje uzrokuju bolesti desni, također povezane s razvojem Alzheimerove bolesti i srodnih demencija, posebice vaskularne demencije.

4. Njegovanje socijalnog života i rješavanje mozgalica

Iako igranje mozgalica i rješavanje zagonetki može pomoći u sprječavanju demencije, moguće je da ćemo s vremenom postati bolji samo u tim specifičnim igrama. Za jačanje kognitivnih sposobnosti, potrebna nam je raznolikost, naglašava Steves.

Jedna od najkompleksnijih stvari koje radimo s mozgom je socijalna interakcija, što je puno napornije od križaljki. Neke fizičke aktivnosti također mogu biti mentalno naporne, poput vožnje bicikla ili plesa. Odabir nečega što istovremeno vježba naš um i tijelo može biti vrlo korisno, kaže stručnjakinja.

5. Držanje razine šećera u krvi pod kontrolom

Uz dobru prehranu i više tjelesne aktivnosti važno je i održavanje dobre razine šećera u krvi. Profesorica je objasnila da postoji odnos između zdravlja krvnih žila i zdravlja mozga. “Prehrana koja je dobra za vaše srce i krvne žile, dobra je i za vaš mozak”, zaključila je Steves.

FOTO Pravi šarmer: Pogledajte kako je ovaj patak zavodio patku na Jarunu

JEDAN patak danas se iznimno potrudio da zavede jednu patku. Šarmer je na jezeru Jarun uživao u sunčanom vremenu, a usput je i zavodio patku koja je plivala blizu njega.

Ronio je, špricao vodu i plesao po površini jezera, sve kako bi osvojio njeno srce.

Na snimljenim fotografijama vidi se kako je patak u jednom trenutku plivao jako blizu patki, što može značiti da ju je na kraju uspio zavesti.

Mladi i njihova koža: Od Clearasila do skupocjenih krema, što se dogodilo?

GDJE su nestali dani kada je briga za tinejdžersku kožu značila jedino posjedovanje bočice Clearasila za hitne slučajeve? Današnji tinejdžeri koriste proizvode za njegu kože koji zvuče kao inventar u prestižnim trgovinama poput Space NK. Drunk Elephant, Glow Recipe, Sol de Janeiro – ovi skupocjeni brendovi sada su jednako omiljeni među 14-godišnjacima kao i među onima u četrdesetima. Istraživanje koje je prošle jeseni proveo Piper Sandler među 5.690 tinejdžera otkrilo je da su izdaci za proizvode za njegu kože porasli za 19 posto u odnosu na prošlu godinu.

 

Kreme protiv starenja za mlade

Uzbuđenje oko skupih brendiranih proizvoda gotovo je adolescentni obred prolaska, ali dok su tenisice i torbe uglavnom neutralne po pitanju dobi, vrhunska njega kože često je namijenjena starijoj populaciji s vrlo specifičnim brigu o kompleksiji. Prošli tjedan, vodeći britanski dermatolozi upozorili su da djeca već od 10 godina vrše pritisak na roditelje da im kupuju ove skupe proizvode, koji često sadrže moćne sastojke poput retinola, kiselina ili vitamina C, namijenjene minimiziranju bora i liječenju pigmentacija od godina sunčanja – nešto što ne bi trebala biti briga prosječnog tinejdžera. Zašto su onda proizvodi protiv starenja iznenada stekli kultni status među djecom koja, pa, uopće nisu ostarela?

 

Dr. Anjali Mahto, konzultantska dermatologinja i osnivačica klinike Self London, primjećuje “definitivno povećanje broja tinejdžera koji dolaze u moju kliniku zabrinuti zbog anti-aginga”. Jedan od razloga za ovu preuranjenu opsjednutost bora “definitivno je potaknut društvenim medijima, posebice TikTokom, gdje se tinejdžeri izlažu influencerima koji prikazuju svoje opsežne, često nepotrebne rutine za njegu kože”.

 

Influenceri koji potiču

Generacija Alfa, rođena od 2010. nadalje, odrasla je potpuno uronjena u digitalnu kulturu. Njima nije potrebno prelistavati časopise za tinejdžere kako bi došli do upitnih savjeta o ljepoti. Umjesto toga, imaju pristup satima videa “pripremi se sa mnom”, u kojima fotogenični influenceri nanose razne serume na već blistava lica, spominjući moćne aktivne sastojke na način koji ih čini težnjenim.

 

Međutim, upitno je koliko 90 sekundi doista može pravilno objasniti sve nijanse korištenja sastojka poput retinola, koji može biti blagoslov u borbi protiv akni pod nadzorom dermatologa, ali nije nešto što bi itko, a kamoli 12-godišnjak, trebao početi koristiti bez razmišljanja. Prekomjerna upotreba može dovesti do iritacije, crvenila i povećane osjetljivosti na sunce.

 

Osim potencijalnih problema s kožom, stručnjake brine i psihološki učinak. “Moj glavni problem ovdje je psihološki učinak,” kaže dr. Mahto. “Ne mislim da to potiče zdrav odnos prema starenju.” Ovo je svakako izvor zabrinutosti i za roditelje. “Standardi ljepote kojima teži generacija moje kćeri jako me brinu,” kaže jedan roditelj.

 

Kako smo uspjeli stvoriti svijet u kojem djeca koja su tek počela živjeti već razmišljaju o tome kako sačuvati svoju mladost?

‘The Beautiful Game’ movie review: Eyes on the ball

In one of the final scenes in Netflix’s new sports drama, The Beautiful Game, Micheal Ward’s Vinny quotes a famous saying, “We don’t save ourselves, we save each other.” This is an overarching philosophy that ties every bit and piece of the film together, allowing it to soar high on emotions without necessarily relying on groundbreaking storytelling.

The relationship between underdogs and sports dramas has always been built on a bedrock of tried-and-tested templates. The Beautiful Game tries to bring in some new ideas even within the limitations of the format. The choice of sport, for instance, is an International Homeless World Cup. The story is set in motion as coach Mal, a delicate yet ambitious yesteryear footballer, played by an impressive Bill Nighy, brings the level-headed Vinny into a pack of five homeless men, who are set to represent England at the International Homeless Football tournament in Rome.

The novel treatment in The Beautiful Game takes centre stage, featuring political undertones and inclusive portrayals of characters, as the team consists of six men from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds. This isn’t quite the Olympics or the FIFA World Cup, where white men majorly represent England. It is instead a competition to be seen in the context of homelessness.

Despite being a sports drama, which awaits the expected triumph of the underdogs in the end, The Beautiful Game doesn’t depend on the chills before the end. Instead, it finds its heart in the breezy exchange of wits, which prevents it from becoming a preachy melodrama.

APSEZ: What Should Investors Do?

Last week, APSEZ announced the acquisition of Gopalpur Port in Odisha, which will make it the seventh Indian port to be acquired by the company since 2014. It currently has a total capacity to handle around 607 million metric tonnes (MMT) (around 355 MMT on the West coast and around 252MMT on the East coast). The acquisition of Gopalpur (20 MMT) will help APSEZ move a step closer to achieving its vision of East-West parity (share of East in domestic cargo volumes handled by the company increased from nil in FY14 to 43 per cent in 1HFY24)

With cargo volumes of 339 MMT, it is the largest commercial ports operator in India, accounting for nearly one-fourth of the cargo movement in the country. Revenue CAGR for the last five years (FY18-23) was 13 per cent and EBITDA margin for the ports segment of the business is over 70 per cent (overall margin of around 60 per cent). It ticks all the boxes for an equity investment, well almost. The stock has rallied ~65 per cent since December 2023 and is currently trading at ~18.6x NTM EBITDA (Bloomberg consensus), ~38 per cent premium to its five-year average. These valuation levels offer investors a good opportunity to book profits as suppressed return profile and cash conversion may not be viewed favorably when there is a reversal in optimism

Business segments

APSEZ operates three main business segments: 1) Ports – domestic and international (around 90 per cent of 1HF24 revenue), 2) logistics (around 7.5 per cent), and 3) SEZ and port development ( around 2.5 per cent). APSEZ currently has 14 strategically located ports and terminals in India (seven each on the West and East coast) and the recently acquired Haifa port in Israel. Through its subsidiary Adani Logistics, APSEZ operates three logistics parks (in Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan) and has the ability to handle 500,000 twenty foot equivalent units (TEUs) annually. It is evolving from a port company to an integrated transport utility providing end-to-end solution but ports continue to be the primary revenue driver.

Amrit Kaal Vision 2047

India’s Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 aims to significantly improve the country’s maritime capability and efficiency. It has proposed the development of six mega ports by 2047, which will help increase the country’s cargo handling capacity (quadruple from around 2,600 MMT to around 10,000 MMT by 2047) and the traffic volume handled (5x from around 1,400 MMT to around 7,000MMT, a CAGR of 6.8 per cent).

In the past, APSEZ has been able to capture market share and grow ahead of the industry (share rose from around 11.6 per cent in FY14 to an estimated around 26.2 per cent in FY24). Since FY14, cargo volume handled by APSEZ has grown at a CAGR of 13 per cent compared to the industry CAGR of 4.4 per cent. As the clear market leader (share of 26 per cent compared to the second-ranked JSW infra with a share of 6 per cent), APSEZ is best placed to capture a major share of the increased volumes from the 2047 vision.

Does growth justify the cost?

That said, it is important to consider the cost associated in achieving this growth. Around 94 per cent of the current East capacity (236 out of 252 MMT) has been through inorganic acquisitions.

Even though APSEZ has managed to improve the performance of the acquired ports (improved utilisation and profitability), the high cost of acquisition has suppressed return ratios in the last few years. Return on Equity (RoE) and Return of Invested capital (RoIC) have dropped from around 24 per cent and around 11 per cent in FY16 to around 12 per cent and around 9.5 per cent respectively in FY23.

This is despite the overall capacity utilisation for the company’s domestic ports increasing from 46 per cent in FY16 to 60 per cent in FY23. To put that into perspective, major ports achieved utilisation of only 48 per cent in FY23 while the overall industry average was around 55 per cent. EBITDA margin for the ports segment reached around 70 per cent in FY22 and FY23 compared to around 66 per cent in FY21. The company has been targeting reducing ts net debt to EBITDA ratio to ~2.5x by FY24 from 3.1x in FY23. We expect return ratios to remain suppressed in the medium term, which may not be viewed favourably by the market when the tide turns.

Muted FCF conversion

Given the capital-intensive nature of the industry, the average capex-to-operating cash flow averaged about 50 per cent during FY19-23. Sales turnover has been in the range of 0.17-0.24x averaging less than 0.2x in the last decade. FCF conversion has largely been muted with FCF-to-sales averaging just 0.16x. The company has an ambitious target to reach cargo volumes from around 340 MMT in FY23 to 1,000 MMT by 2030 (around 17 per cent CAGR). APSEZ’s cash generation will remain under pressure while the company builds its capacity and capabilities over the next few years.

APSEZ reported revenue from operations of ₹20,852 crore in FY23 (22 per cent YoY growth) and ₹19,814 crore in 9MY24 (32 per cent YoY). For the full year FY24, Bloomberg consensus estimates top-line YoY growth of around 26.5 per cent Looking ahead, APSEZ is forecast to achieve revenue/EBITDA YoY growth of 15-17 per cent in FY25. At the current price, the stock is currently trading at 18.6x FY25 EBITDA, ~38 per cent higher than its five-year average of 14x. In addition to suppressed return ratios, the stock is currently trading at a price to book ratio of 6.1x, ~56 per cent higher than its long-term average, indicating that it has fully priced in all the optimism, thereby leaving very little margin of safety.  We believe it is a good opportunity for investors holding the stock to book profits at these levels.

Znanstvenici otkrivaju jednostavnu naviku koja može značajno poboljšati san

VEĆINA ljudi prakticira različite večernje rutine u nadi da će im osigurati bolji san. Međutim, nova studija tvrdi da jedna jednostavna dnevna navika može napraviti značajnu razliku. Istraživanje, koje je provelo Sveučilište Texas u Austinu, otkrilo je da se sve svodi na tjelovježbu koja nam može pomoći da utonemo u dublji “NREM” san prije nego što naš mozak dosegne “REM” fazu.

Iako ovo može zvučati komplicirano, NREM i REM su među samo pet faza kroz koje prolazimo kada počnemo tonuti u san. NREM se općenito odvija u prvoj polovici noći i odnosi se samo na točku u kojoj se tijelo istinski opušta i oporavlja. S druge strane, REM je kada naš mozak postane malo aktivniji. Sanjanje će se najvjerojatnije dogoditi u ovoj fazi.

“Redovita tjelesna aktivnost povezana je s boljim emocionalnim blagostanjem, a čak i kratak period tjelesne aktivnosti može podići raspoloženje”, navode znanstvenici u studiji, izvještava The Mirror. 

Tjelesna aktivnost ključna je za kvalitetan san

Razmišljanja američkih znanstvenika podupire poznata savjetnica za spavanje, Rosey Davidson.

“Vježbanje igra ključnu ulogu u promicanju boljeg sna jer pozitivno utječe na fizičko i mentalno zdravlje. Tjelovježba također može smanjiti kortizol, hormon stresa, i potaknuti oslobađanje endorfina koji prirodno podižu raspoloženje. Obje ove stvari doprinose kvalitetnom snu”, pojasnila je Davidson za The Mirror.

Iako ne postoji određeni broj koraka ili idealno trajanje vježbanja potrebno za postizanje optimalnih razina sna, Rosey preporučuje da budemo aktivni koliko je to moguće, ali unutar razumnih granica.

“Postoje i druge stvari koje možemo učiniti kako bismo prilagodili okolinu za spavanje, poput odabira posteljine, temperature, izbjegavanje tehnologije, ali vježbanje će izravno utjecati na naše tijelo na fiziološkoj razini”, zaključila je Davidson.

VIDEO Ove tri mačke obožavaju igrati igre na tabletu. Očito je kojoj najbolje ide

POZNATO je da mačke vole loviti, uglavnom druge životinje i igračke, no neke vole igrati i igre na mobitelima i tabletima.

Za ove tri mačke vlasnica kaže da obožavaju “gejmati”. Upalila im je tablet, stavila ga na stol, a njih tri su se okupile oko njega i lovile likove koji su se pojavili na ekranu.

Međutim, dvije mačke teško da su mogle doći na red za lov. Jedna od njih prisvojila je tablet i svakog lika koji se pojavio na ekranu udarila šapom. Uz to je imala i komentare dok se igrala.

ESTETIKA žene mafijaša dominirala je društvenim mrežama, ali i izvan njih, ove zime. Trend je obuhvatio modu i šminku, a sada se širi i na frizuru. Ako imate upitnik nad glavom o tome kakva je točno frizura koja odražava taj trend, sjetite se Michelle Pfeiffer u filmu Scarface. Ako se ne možete sjetiti ili niste gledali taj film, evo fotke.

Florence Pugh nosila je ovakvu frizuru još prošle godine

S obzirom na to da je ovaj trend nastavak estetike žene mafijaša, nosi i ime koje to odražava – mob wife bob, odnosno bob frizura žene mafijaša. Kao što smo već naveli, frizura je inspirirana likom Elvire Hancock iz filma Scarface iz 1983. godine, koji je utjelovila Michelle Pfeiffer.

Radi se o klasičnoj bob frizuri koja uključuje slojeve na gornjem dijelu, koji joj daju volumen, a tu su i šiške koje nježno padaju preko očiju. Ovaj trend počeo je polako osvajati i svijet poznatih prošle godine. Među prvim celebovima s ovom frizurom bila je Florence Pugh, koja se na nju odlučila za događaj povodom ponovnog otvaranja Tiffany trgovine u New Yorku prošlog travnja.

Ususret proljeću, ovaj stil doživljava svoj procvat na društvenim mrežama te je sve traženiji u frizerskim salonima. “Mob wife bob je klasična, lagano slojevita bob frizura, ali s ozbiljnim volumenom i drskošću”, objašnjava frizer slavnih i ambasador Alfaparfa Milano Mark Townsend za Bustle.

Izgled Michelle Pfeiffer u Scarfaceu već godinama inspirira mnoge

On dodaje da izgled Michelle Pfeiffer u filmu Scarface već duži niz godina služi mnogima kao inspiracija. “Kasnih 80-ih i ranih 90-ih, ovaj smo izgled često viđali u filmovima i na modnim pistama”, prisjeća se Townsend.

“Nikada neću zaboraviti Naomi Campbell kako šeta Versace pistom sa svojim kolegicama supermodelima, uz pjesmu Freedom Georgea Michaela, dok je njena bob frizura poskakivala pri svakom koraku.”

Drugim riječima, ova frizura se svako toliko vraća u fokus. Upravo se to događa i sada, barem ako je suditi po društvenim mrežama i brojnim videima s njom u prvom planu. Ako se ovoga proljeća odlučite za ovakav bob, imajte na umu da zahtijeva stiliziranje kod kuće s odgovarajućim proizvodima i alatima, kako bi izgledao kao da ste netom izašli iz salona.

Evo kako održavati ovakvu frizuru kod kuće, a da izgleda kao da ste izašli iz salona

Townsend objašnjava da je voluminozni izgled lako rekreirati kod kuće. Savjetuje da u salonu tražite duljinu koja je centimetar ispod brade, tako da, kada se stilizira, pada na bradu. “Dodajte nekoliko slojeva pri vrhu za volumen, a krajevi neka budu ravni.”

Što se tiče stiliziranja kod kuće, otkriva omiljene proizvode. “Za postizanje ovog stila ključan je volumen, stoga počnite nanošenjem pjene za volumen na vlažnu kosu – moj omiljeni proizvod je Hours Full-Time Plumping Mousse. Zatim kosu osušite koristeći malu okruglu četku ili četku za feniranje po vlastitom izboru.”

Nakon što je vaša kosa potpuno suha Townsend savjetuje uvijanje vrhova prema unutra – to možete postići četkom za oblikovanje, viklerima ili uvijačem. Ostavite kosu da se ohladi kako bi frizura ostala postojana.

Na kraju, Townsend preporučuje korištenje proizvoda za volumen i sjaj. “Moja tajna za volumen je prskanje korijena šamponom za suho pranje Olaplex, zatim češljanje i tapiranje. Ovaj bob sjaj čini modernim, stoga završite frizuru s Alfaparf Milano Semi di Lino Cristalli sprejem koji neće otežati kosu.”

Amy Adams starrer ‘Nightbitch’ gets December release date

Amy Adams starrer ‘Nightbitch’ will be released in theatres on December 6. The Searchlight Pictures’ film was initially scheduled to premiere on Hulu, but it will now be released in theatres, reported Variety.

As per the official synopsis, six-time Academy Award nominee Adams plays a woman “thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, who slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a canine.”

According to Variety, Scoot McNairy stars as Adams’ oft-traveling husband. Marielle Heller writes and directs the film adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed debut novel.

Heller also directed ‘The Diary of a Teenage Girl’, which won the Independent Spirit Award for the best first picture and a DGA award for first-time feature film. Heller’s previous directorial achievements include the Oscar-nominated Fred Rogers film ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood’, the Melissa McCarthy-starring comedy ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’, and the filmed production of ‘What the Constitution Means to Me’.

“Rachel Yoder’s book took my breath away,” said Heller when she was announced as director in 2022. “I haven’t felt this way about a book since I read ‘The Diary of a Teenage Girl’ many years ago. Rachel’s darkly hilarious tale of motherhood and rage made me feel seen. And adapting it with Amy Adams in mind has been the thing that has kept me going through the pandemic.”

Adams was most recently seen in Disney’s 2022 musical ‘Disenchanted’ and will next appear opposite Jenna Ortega in Taika Waititi’s film adaptation of ‘Klara and the Sun’.

‘Nightbitch’ is produced by Heller, Adams, Anne Carey, Sue Naegle, Christina Oh and Stacy O’Neil, reported Variety.

“Elastične trake su jednostavan, lako prenosiv i cjenovno vrlo povoljan rekvizit za vježbanje”, kaže trenerica. Svrha svakog rekvizita je pružanje otpora tijekom vježbanja te povećanje intenziteta i napredak u izgradnji mišićne mase. Isto tako je i s elastičnim trakama. 

Trenerica ističe da je “kod elastičnih traka faza razvlačenja trake ona koja povećava intenzitet vježbe. Hoće li otpor koji trake pružaju biti dovoljan za ostvarivanje ciljeva ovisi o odabiru trake i subjektivnom osjećaju opterećenosti”. Odnosno, preporuka je da svaki pojedinac za sebe procijeni kakvu vrstu trake želi koristiti u treningu, ovisno o tome što želi ostvariti vježbanjem. 

“Veća napetost će pružiti veći otpor, dok će manja napetost pružiti manji otpor”, kaže trenerica za Index. 

Ako želite trenirati s elastičnim trakama, možete raditi ove vježbe

Za sve one koji razmišljaju o vježbanju s elastičnim trakama, trenerica Škof Erdelja je izdvojila i najbolje vježbe koje mogu raditi.

“Neke od boljih vježbi su veslanje u pretklonu, mrtvo dizanje, rameni potisak, odručenje, triceps ekstenzija i biceps pregib”, izdvaja trenerica. Nadalje, “u slučaju zatvorene elastične gume zbig ili u obliku mini banda kao dodatan otpor za izvođenje čučnja, bočnih iskoraka, mosta ili izolacijskih vježbi za gluteus”, kaže trenerica.

Iako se korištenje elastičnih traka čini vrlo jednostavnim, mnogi ljudi ih pogrešno koriste. Trenerica je za Index objasnila kako ih koristiti na pravilan način da bi se s vremenom vidjeli željeni rezultati. 

“U svim vježbama fokus treba biti na izvođenju punog opsega pokreta, što znači potpuno skraćivanje i izduživanje mišića, čime potičemo potpuni mišićni rast. Kod treninga s elastičnom trakom je potrebno odabrati adekvatno rastezljivu traku, s kojom ćemo moći postići puni opseg pokreta, ali i koja pruža dovoljno otpora”, ističe trenerica. 

Kako odabrati pravu elastičnu traku za vježbanje?

Elastične trake dijele se u tri osnovne kategorije: lagano rastezljive, srednje rastezljive i teško rastezljive trake koje pružaju najviše otpora. Kada je u pitanju odabir prave elastične trake, trenerica ističe da to “ovisi o odabiru vježbe u treningu i utreniranosti pojedinca”.

Prema trenerici, light, odnosno lagane trake se “mogu koristiti u svrhu zagrijavanja prije treninga ili specifičnog zagrijavanja za trening koji slijedi”. Ako je riječ o zagrijavanju prije treninga, vježbači mogu raditi vježbe “prebacivanje trake ispred i iza tijela, kruženje trakom oko tijela, razvlačenje trake iznad glave”. 

Postoje određene vježbe koje možete raditi i kod specifičnog zagrijavanja. “Izvođenje veslanja u pretklonu s laganom elastičnom trakom prije izvođenja veslanja s većim opterećenjem ili trakom većeg otpora, izvođenje mrtvog dizanja s elastičnom trakom prije izvođenja mrtvog dizanja s većim opterećenjem ili trakom većeg otpora”, objašnjava trenerica za Index. 

Trenerica početnicima preporučuje korištenje srednje rastezljive trake. “Srednje rastezljive trake će biti pogodnije za razvoj jakosti i mišićnog rasta kod većine početnika ili umjereno utreniranih vježbača, dok će napredniji vježbači posegnuti za trakama s jačim otporom i kombinirati ih s klasičnim utezima ili spravama za optimalne rezultate”, ističe Škof Erdelja.

LUKSUZNI japanski brend nakita Tasaki udružio se s poznatim japanskim proizvođačem sportske obuće Asicsom kako bi obilježio svoju 70. godišnjicu jedinstvenom suradnjom. Rezultat je niz posebno dizajniranih tenisica Asics GT-2160, koje krase rijetki i cijenjeni Akoya biseri.

‘I totally geeked out,’ says Paul Rudd

Was there ever a point where you didn’t want to come back for a second Ghostbusters movie?

No. I mean, it’s Ghostbusters! Who wouldn’t want to put on a flight suit, strap on a proton pack, and bust ghosts for a job? And the fact that we got to do it with the original ghostbusters, in New York with the firehouse and everything, made it a total no-brainer.

Did you feel like a kid again, getting to line up alongside the original Ghostbusters?

Absolutely. I grew up obsessed with the franchise.

It was a huge part of my childhood, so to get to work with my heroes was pretty cool. I totally geeked out.

How nervous were you about working with Bill Murray?

I was in awe, and pretty terrified, but Bill is the sweetest guy. He’s a comedy genius and someone I have admired for years.

I had a great time working with him, Ernie, Dan and all the OG ghostbusters.

Do you ever worry about living up to the expectations of those who, like you, are fans of the original movies?

There is always that pressure when you are dealing with something as beloved as Ghostbusters.

I think we did a good job of honouring the legacy with the new and old cast, and fans, as well as people who have never seen a Ghostbusters movie, will love this one. It really has got something for everyone. And of course, Ivan Reitman directed the first movie and his son, Jason, is a writer on Frozen Empire. It’s like it’s all part of the same family.

There is all the crazy action, and ghostbusting stunts, fans would expect in this movie. How much of what we see on screen were you able to do?

I got to do some pretty cool stuff, but the crazy stunts are all down to the professionals. They do a great job in making me look way cooler than I am. I did get to drive the Ecto 1; not for the dangerous stuff, but I did get to drive it. They told me it was actually the car from the first movie. It blew my mind.

Dijetetičarka otkrila tri vrste hrane koje bismo češće trebali jesti u travnju

DOLAZAK proljeća donosi i promjenu u izboru svježih namirnica dostupnih na tržnicama i trgovinama. Dijetetičarka Cara Harbstreet otkrila je koje bismo tri namirnice, odnosno tri vrste hrane, trebali češće uvrstiti u jelovnik već ovoga travnja.

Avokado

Avokado je odličan izvor masnoća korisnih za srce, ali i način da prehrani dodate više vlakana i folata korisnih za srce. Kako prenosi Eating Well, jedna četvrtina avokada sadrži 2,5 grama zasitnih vlakana. Također, može biti odličan pojačivač hranjivih tvari u receptima. Masti u avokadu pomažu u apsorpciji vitamina topivih u mastima, kao što su vitamini A, D, E i K, koji se nalaze u drugoj hrani.

Šparoge

Šparoge su sezonsko povrće koje često preporučuju mnogi dijetetičari i nutricionisti. Sadrže vlakna, proteine i vitamin K koji jača kosti, a osiguravaju i vitamine A i C, te kalij i fosfor. Osim toga, dijetetičarka Cara Harbstreet ističe da su šparoge “dobar izvor prebiotičkih vlakana, koja su važna za hranjenje dobrih bakterija u crijevima”.

Rotkvice

S dolaskom proljeća počinje i sezona rotkvica, povrća koje obogaćuje različite salate i druge obroke koje volite jesti. Iako se mogu pronaći tijekom cijele godine, dijetetičarka ističe da su najbolje u proljeće. “Možete ih pronaći u mnogim varijantama, u rasponu od blagog i blago slatkog okusa do paprenog i oštrog.” Mogu se jesti sirove ili pečene, a sadrže vlakna, kalij i vitamin C.

Madox ima 14 godina i život ga nije mazio. Već 8 godina nitko nije za njega ni pitao

PROŠLO je osam godina otkako je Madox završio u skloništu zagrebačke udruge Noina arka. Kada je u siječnju 2016. stigao u sklonište imao je uraslu ogrlicu, no nedavno se oprostio od toga i dalje čeka svoj dom.

“Naša najveselija i najdobrodušnija njuškice, a osam dugih godina on čeka. Nećemo odustati od nadanja, neće ni on. Kako da vas ne uhvati tuga kada shvatite da jedna tako posebna i draga njuškica kao što je Madox već osam godina čeka svoj dom. On je uvijek raspoložen za šetnjicu, igru i maženje. Njegovo povjerenje nije teško steći, on se uvijek veseli svim volonterima i posjetiocima, zamislite onda kakva bi to bila ljubav prema samo njegovim ljudima”, stoji u objavi udruge na Facebooku. 

Madox ima 14 godina i obožava poslastice

Život Madoxa nije baš mazio. “Kada je stigao k nama u siječnju 2016. imao je uraslu ogrlicu i odavno se oporavio od toga, no i dalje čeka dom. Ne dozvoljava on da mi vidimo njegovu tugu, on uvijek veselo maše repom i razveseljava nas svojim forama od kojih mu je najuspješnija kako se dočepati skrivenih poslastica”, napisali su. 

Čipiran je, cijepljen i kastriran. U tipu je labradora, srednjeg rasta. Ima 22 kilograma, a star je 14 godina. Možete ga udomiti pozivom na broj 091/421-4696 ili 091/262 2619.

Amazon odustaje od koncepta trgovina bez blagajni

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.

AMAZON ukida tehnologiju Just Walk Out koju koristi u pojedinim svojim fizičkim trgovinama. Kako je izvijestio The Information, glavni potpredsjednik tvrtke rekao je da se odmiču od ovog koncepta koji se oslanjao na kamere i senzore za praćenje što ljudi iznose iz trgovine.

Ovo će utjecati na više od polovice trgovina Amazon Fresh opremljenih tehnologijom Just Walk Out. Ova tehnologija koristi sustav pametnih kamera za praćenje kupaca, identifikaciju proizvode i naplaćuje kupnje s Amazonovih računa bez potrebe da kupci rade bilo što osim prilikom ulaska u trgovinu skeniraju QR kod te potom izaberu artikle i izađu. 

Iako su trgovine naizgled bile potpuno automatizirane, koncept Just Walk Out oslanjao se na više od 1000 ljudi u Indiji koji su gledali i označavali videozapise kako bi osigurali točne naplate. Blagajnici su jednostavno bili premješteni izvan trgovine i promatrali su kupce dok kupuju.

Amazon se planira okrenuti Dashu

Ove srijede, GeekWire je izvijestio da Amazon Web Services otpušta nekoliko stotina ljudi iz tima za tehnologiju fizičkih trgovina, prema internim e-mailovima. Otkazi će navodno utjecati na dijelove Amazonovih timova za identitet i naplatu.

Amazon se planira okrenuti Dashu, ugrađenom skeneru i ekranu u kolica za kupovinu, omogućavajući kupcima da plaćaju dok kupuju. Ovo je navodno pouzdanije rješenje od Just Walk Outa. Također, Amazon Fresh trgovine će od sada imati samoposlužne blagajne za osobe koje nisu članovi Amazona.

“Uvodimo Amazon Dash kolica, naša pametna kolica za kupovinu”, rekao je glasnogovornik Amazona za Gizmodo. Amazon je potvrdio da ova značajka zamjenjuje njihovu tehnologiju Just Walk Out u postojećim trgovinama.

Just Walk Out predstavljen 2016. godine

Just Walk Out je prvi put predstavljen 2016. godine, označavajući Amazonovu najveću inovaciju u kupovini namirnica. Tehnologija se činila nevjerojatnom, ali pojavile su se neke zapreke.

Kupcima je često trebalo nekoliko sati da prime račune nakon napuštanja trgovine, uglavnom zato što su blagajnici izvan zemlje morali pregledavati kupnje. Osim toga, sustav skenera i video kamera u svakoj trgovini bio je izuzetno skup.

Trgovina bez blagajni postoji i kod nas

Takav koncept trgovine bez blagajni, gdje se uđe, izaberu artikli i izađe, dostupan je i kod nas. Naime, krajem prošle godine, Konzum je na adresi Kurelčeva 1 u Zagrebu otvorio svoju prvu trgovinu bez blagajni. Za kupnju je potrebna Konzumova mobilna aplikacija, putem koje se generira QR kod koji omogućava ulazak u trgovinu. Naše iskustvo takve kupnje možete pročitati ovdje.

Jeste li izloženi mikrostresu? – Index.hr

SVI SMO mi izloženi brojnim mikrostresorima, neki od nas više od drugih. Te neravnine na putu naših života tako su neznatne i kratke da ih jedva registriramo, no mogu nam prouzročiti velike zdravstvene probleme. Mikrostresori se ne mogu usporediti s makrostresorima, poput primjerice jurnjave automobilom u kojemu prevozite trudnicu koja samo što nije rodila ili činjenice da se vozite automobilom s pokvarenim kočnicama, a da to prethodno niste registrirali.

No dok se mikrostres pojedinačno može činiti bezopasnim, kumulativno može znatno crpiti energiju i oštetiti vaše fizičko i emocionalno zdravlje, upozorava troje američkih znanstvenika. 

U članku objavljenom u časopisu Harvard Business Review, koji se temelji na istraživanju obrasca življenja 300 osoba zaposlenih na vrlo odgovornim radnim mjestima u multinacionalnim organizacijama i na globalnom uzorku od više od 11.000 ljudi, znanstvenici Rob Cross, Karen Dillon i Kevin Martin iznijeli su na koji način identificirati izvore učestalih mikrostresora i kako umanjiti njihove posljedice.

Cross i Dillon su koautori nedavno objavljene knjige Učinak mikrostresa: Kako se male stvari gomilaju i stvaraju velike probleme – i što poduzeti u vezi s tim.

Preporučili su tri načina koji bi mogli pomoći da stavite mikrostresore pod kontrolu:

1. Započnite malim stvarima

Najbolje je započeti tako da tjedno pokušate riješiti jedan manji problem. Učini li vam se da ne možete u potpunosti vjerovati svojim suradnicima, mogli biste primjerice s njima o tomu prijateljski porazgovarati. Kažite im na čemu sve radite taj tjedan i upitajte ih kako se nose s vlastitim poslovnim obavezama. To bi moglo pridonijeti izgradnji međusobnog povjerenja i smanjiti vam brige.

2. Upravljajte svojim odnosima 

Glavni mikrostresor koji je navela većina ispitanika odnosio se na “iscrpljujuću ili negativnu interakciju” s članovima obitelji ili s prijateljima. Rješavanje ovog mikrostresora neće značiti prekid kontakta s tim ljudima, jer najčešće ih ne možete izbjeći, već preoblikovanje međusobnih interakcija koje će na najučinkovitiji način ograničiti izvor mikrostresa, kažu istraživači.

Jedan se ispitanik prisjetio redovitih dvoipolsatnih i duljih posjeta svojim roditeljima subotom ili nedjeljom, koji su za njega bili posebno stresni jer im je trajanje bilo neodređeno. Lijek za to u konačnici je bila odluka o jednoipolsatnom ručku s majkom nakon ranijeg odlaska s posla petkom poslijepodne. Tako je ispitanik dobio slobodan vikend za svoje ostale aktivnosti i prioritete.

3. Pokušajte primijeniti multidimenzionalan način života

Bilo da se radi o volonterskom radu, novom hobiju ili širenju društvenog kruga, dodavanje nove dimenzije vašem životu može pridonijeti smanjenju utjecaja mikrostresora, otkrili su istraživači.

Kazali su da su najsretniji sugovornici uključeni u njihovu studiju bili sposobniji staviti mikrostresore u širu perspektivu i prepoznati trivijalnosti, velikim dijelom zato što su nove osobe pripadale dvjema ili trima skupinama ljudi izvan njihova poslovnog i obiteljskog kruga, što im je omogućilo da se počnu baviti njima važnim aktivnostima.

To ih je u biti “cijepilo” na mikrostres i pomoglo im da se uzdignu iznad stvari koje nisu mogli kontrolirati i na koje nisu mogli utjecati.

Florida Limits Abortion — For Now

The Host

Florida this week became a major focus for advocates on both main sides of the abortion debate. The Florida Supreme Court simultaneously ruled that the state’s 15-week ban, passed in 2022, can take effect immediately before a more sweeping, six-week ban replaces it in May and that voters can decide in November whether to create a state right to abortion.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden, gearing up for the general election campaign, is highlighting his administration’s health accomplishments, including drug price negotiations for Medicare.

This week’s panelists are Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins University schools of nursing and public health, Tami Luhby of CNN, and Lauren Weber of The Washington Post.

Among the takeaways from this week’s episode:

  • The Florida Supreme Court’s decisions this week will affect abortion access not only in the state, but also throughout the region. Florida’s six-week ban, which takes effect on May 1, would leave North Carolina and Virginia as the only remaining Southern states offering the procedure beyond that point in pregnancy — and, in North Carolina, abortion is banned at 12 weeks after a woman’s last menstrual period.
  • Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion in 2022, six states have voted on their own constitutional amendments related to abortion access. In every case, the side favoring abortion rights has won. But Florida’s measure this fall will appear on the ballot with the presidential race. Could the two contests, waged side by side, boost turnout and influence the results?
  • Former President Donald Trump made many attempts during his term to undermine the Affordable Care Act, and this week the Biden administration reversed another one of those lingering attempts. Under a new regulation, the use of short-term insurance plans will be limited to four months — down from 36 months under Trump. The plans, which Biden officials call “junk plans” due to their limited benefits, will also be required to provide clearer explanations of coverage to consumers.
  • In other Biden administration news, March has come and gone without the release of an anticipated ban on menthol flavoring in tobacco, and anti-tobacco groups are suing to force administration officials to finish the job. Menthol cigarettes are particularly popular in the Black community, and — like Trump’s decision as president to punt a ban on vaping to avoid alienating voters in 2020 — the Biden administration may be loath to raise the issue this year. Activists say, however, that it may be at the expense of Black lives.
  • “This Week in Medical Misinformation” looks at an article from PolitiFact about the health misinformation that persists even with the pandemic mostly in the rearview mirror.

Also this week, Rovner interviews health care analyst Jeff Goldsmith about the growing size and influence of UnitedHealth Group in the wake of the Change Healthcare hack.

Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: 

Julie Rovner: Politico’s “Republicans Are Rushing to Defend IVF. The Anti-Abortion Movement Hopes to Change Their Minds,” by Megan Messerly and Alice Miranda Ollstein.

Tami Luhby: The Washington Post’s “Biden Summons Bernie Sanders to Help Boost Drug-Price Campaign,” by Dan Diamond.

Lauren Weber: The Washington Post’s “Bird Flu Detected in Dairy Worker Who Had Contact With Infected Cattle in Texas,” by Lena H. Sun and Rachel Roubein.  

Joanne Kenen: The 19th’s “Survivors Sidelined: How Illinois’ Sexual Assault Survivor Law Allows Hospitals to Deny Care,” by Kate Martin, APM Reports.

DA IMAJU problem s napasnim galebovima koji nerijetko iz ruku otimaju hranu, Puljani odavno znaju. Svjedoče tome i ove fotografije, snimljene ispred jedne od pulskih pekara, kada su kupcu iz ruke izbili pakiranje krempita, da bi se potom međusobno borili za najslađi dio.

Zara, Farfetch, second hand: Pitali smo Hrvate gdje su nabavili odjeću koju nose

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.

KROZ opuštenu šetnju gradom,zavirili smo u ormare prolaznika kako bismo otkrili gdje Hrvati pronalaze svoje omiljene odjevne komade. Razgovarajući s prolaznicima čuli smo nekoliko zanimljivih priča koje pokazuju raznolikost stilova i preferencija u odijevanju.

Prvi mladić kojeg smo susreli istaknuo se svojim potpuno crnim outfitom. Istaknuo je da je prsluk i hlače nabavio u trgovini Zara, dok je majicu i čarape odabrao iz asortimana brenda Adidas. Za obuću je odabrao Nike tenisice, dok na glavi nosi Hard Rock šiltericu, uspomenu iz Praga. Dodao je kako se najugodnije osjeća u kvalitetnim trapericama i potkošulji.

“Kupujem u Italiji ili Francuskoj”

Druga gospođa s kojom smo razgovarali otkrila je da obično kupuje odjeću u Italiji ili Francuskoj, ali komade koje je nosila tog dana nabavila je upravo u Zagrebu. Torbu sa zmijskim uzorkom kupila je u trgovini MaxMara, dok su jakna i majica kupljene u Garderobi. Hlače brenda Victoria Beckham nabavljene su iz trgovine Heraldi, dok je cipele naručila preko web trgovine brenda Marsell, izdvajajući ih kao svoj osobni favorit.

Istaknula je da se najugodnije osjeća u opuštenim kombinacijama tijekom dana, dok za večernje prilike voli odabrati elegantnu haljinu ili neki ekscentričan outfit.

“Ono što nose današnji američki reperi”

Drugi mladić kojeg smo susreli pokazao je svoju privrženost oversize komadima, inspiriran stilom današnjih američkih repera. Njegov outfit uključivao je šiltericu iz trgovine Noventa, hoodicu naručenu preko Farfetcha te trenirku i majicu iz Zare. Tenisice su bile nabavljene od resellera, dok je torbicu izabrao iz trgovine H&M.

“Inače trenirka, ali na poslu moram biti tip-top”

Treći dečko otkrio nam je da, iako preferira udobnost trenirki, zbog posla često mora biti dotjeran. Njegov poslovni outfit u koji smo ga zatekli sastojao se od balonera iz Zare, košulje iz Springfielda, hlača iz Pull & Beara te cipela iz Alda. Kao modne dodatke nosio je lančić koji je dobio na poklon te naočale sa stranice Meller.

“Više-manje sve vintage”

Posljednja djevojka koju smo susreli nosila je većinom vintage komade, ili one koje je pronašla u second-hand trgovinama. Njene naušnice su obiteljsko nasljeđe, dok su ogrlice kupljene u jednoj vintage trgovini u Splitu. Tenisice su marke Buffalo, ali ih je dobila kao poklon.

Craig Gillespie in talks to direct ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’

Australian director Craig Gillespie is in talks to direct the upcoming ‘Supergirl’ film at Warner Bros.’ DC Studios, reported Variety.

The film, titled ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ is based on the DC comics run of the same name by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.

It’s set to shoot later this year after James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ wraps filming. ‘House of the Dragon’ breakout Milly Alcock will star in the titular role.

Alcock earned the part following a lengthy casting process in which Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran flew many actresses, including Meg Donnelly, to Atlanta for onscreen tryouts on the “Superman: Legacy” production.

“Milly was the FIRST person I brought up to Peter for this role, well over a year ago, when I had only read the comics,” Gunn said on social media upon her casting. “I was watching ‘House of the Dragon’ and thought she might have the edge, grace and authenticity we needed,” he added.

According to Variety, Gunn has previously teased that the new take on the superhero will be “much more hardcore” than previous interpretations of the character. “She’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing,” he explained in 2023 when presenting the first 10 titles in the new DCU slate.

In the latest edition, Supergirl goes across the cosmos to celebrate her 21st birthday with Krypto the Superdog. Along the way, she meets a young lady named Ruthye and embarks on a violent quest for vengeance.

Gunn and Safran are producing. Chantal Nong, DC EVP, is the executive producer. Ana Nogueira (“The Vampire Diaries”) is penning the script.

Gillespie’s directing credits include “Cruella,” “The Finest Hours,” “Lars and the Real Girl,” and, most recently, “Dumb Money.” He is represented by CAA, Rumble Media and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern, reported Variety.

Broker’s call: Muthoot Finance (Buy)

Target: ₹1,948

CMP: ₹1,664.85

Muthoot Finance is in a sweet spot, given robust growth prospects backed by sound fundamentals and sectoral tailwinds. Fundamentals are underscored by proven moats of leadership and higher productivity (AUM per branch at ₹14.50 crore vs ₹8 crore for IIFL Finance and a mere ₹5.6 crore for MGFL), steady-state branch and customer expansion, customer segmentation with limited share of 27 per cent in the above ₹3,00,000 ticket size which faces rising competition and increased thrust on marketing & digital initiatives along with enhanced customer service to strengthen Muthoot’s competitive positioning.

We believe high productivity and staunch distribution network can add about 3 per cent to AUM growth annual basis.

Sectoral tailwinds, such as continued momentum in underlaying asset value like gold, concerns regarding unsecured, systemic credit expansion fuelling MSME credit via gold loans, less competition from banks with unit economics turning unfavourable amid tight liquidity will enable MUTH to reclaim its market positioning. We revise 14 per cent growth to 15 per cent + during FY24-26.

Muthoot is poised to reclaim strong market positioning in the gold finance space. Continued rise in gold prices and tight liquidity scenario for banks are leading to healthy business traction.

Koliko puta tjedno treba raditi trening snage za mršavljenje? Evo što kaže trenerica

TRENING snage važan je dio svakog fitness režima i nudi brojne dobrobiti osim izgradnje mišića, uključujući i mogući utjecaj na mršavljenje. Osobna trenerica, Alanna Kate Derrick, otkrila je koliko redovito treba raditi vježbe u sklopu treninga snage kako bi se vidjeli rezultati mršavljenja.

“Većina istraživanja sugerira da bi, na tjednoj razini, trebalo raditi dva do tri treninga snage za uspješno mršavljenje”, ističe trenerica. Početnici bi trebali započeti u ritmu koji odgovara njihovoj kondiciji, a onda bi postepeno trebali pojačavati učestalost i intenzitet treninga, prenosi She Finds. 

Objašnjava da samo izvođenje vježbi nije dovoljno kada je u pitanju mršavljenje. U obzir je važno uzeti brojne čimbenike kada netko radi vježbe snage za mršavljenje. Trenerica kao najvažnije čimbenike na koje treba obratiti pozornost ističe: “održavanje kalorijskog deficita kroz prehranu, progresivno preopterećenje u treninzima i fokus na složene vježbe za cijelo tijelo”. 

Uz redovito treniranje jednako je važno imati i dane odmora. “Uzimanje dana odmora ključno je za olakšavanje oporavka mišića i sprječavanje ozljeda od prenaprezanja, koje bi mogle utjecati na napredak”, zaključuje trenerica.

Spasio je mačića koji je bio na izmaku snaga, pogledajte nevjerojatnu transformaciju

MUŠKARAC imena Yassine pronašao je mačića koji je bio na izmaku snaga. Na prvi pogled činilo se da životinja neće preživjeti u koliko je lošem stanju bila. No na svu sreću naišao je on i spasio život toj malenoj životinji.

“Bojao sam se da će umrijeti. Da nisam došao na vrijeme, možda ne bi preživio”, rekao je muškarac u videu kojeg je objavio The Dodo.

Odveo je mačića veterinaru, koji je pomogao kako god je mogao, a potom je muškarac sam preuzeo brigu o mačiću. 

“Primijetio sam da da napreduje. Postao je mišićav, imao je predivnu dlaku”, kaže muškarac koji je mačku dao ime Picsu.

Transformacija mačka je nevjerojatna. “Bilo je uspona i padova. Na kraju dana, bilo je vrijedno”, rekao je vlasnik ove životinje.

Indian Badminton Squad for Thomas and Uber Cup 2024 Announced; PV Sindhu Pulls Out to Prepare for Paris Olympics

New Delhi [India], April 4 (ANI): India will field a strong squad with a perfect mix of youth and experience in the upcoming BWF Thomas and Uber Cup Finals 2024 with the senior selection committee deciding to have more options in singles considering the hectic schedule of all players this season.

The Badminton Association of India (BAI) on Thursday announced both men’s and women’s teams for the upcoming prestigious tournament to be played in Chengdu, China from April 27 to May 5. A 10-member team for Thomas Cup will have five singles players with Kiran George joining HS Prannoy, Lakshya Sen, Kidambi Srikanth and Priyanshu Rajawat while Sai Pratheek will be the back-up doubles player to the two first-choice combinations, namely World No. 1 pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty and MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila. PV Sindhu Loses Cool, Smashes Racquet in Anger After Losing to Thailand’s Supanida Katethong in Madrid Spain Masters 2024 Quarterfinals; Video Goes Viral.

With most of the top players going through a tough Paris Olympic qualification phase in the run up to Thomas Cup 2024, the selectors felt that it was important to have an additional singles player in the squad. The final decision on the Thomas Cup squad was taken after an online meeting of the selection committee that comprises Chief National coach Pulella Gopichand, former India stars U Vimal Kumar, Jwala Gutta, Manjusha Kanwar, Partho Ganguly and Mallika Baruah Sarma.

For the Uber Cup, the selectors decided to give an opportunity to youngsters after top players in both singles and doubles pulled out. PV Sindhu informed the selectors that due to back-to-back tournaments leading up to the Olympics, she and her team have decided to skip the Uber Cup to prepare for the Olympics. Top doubles pairs also cited similar reasons and, since it is not a full-strength team, they also pulled out. The selectors then decided to go ahead with young players who have done well recently at the National Championships. ‘Really Upsetting’ Saina Nehwal Lashes out at Sexist Remarks by Senior Congress Leader Shamanur Shivashankarappa.

Speaking about the team combination, Badminton Association of India General Secretary Sanjay Mishra said, “The senior selection committee after a lot of discussion has decided the best possible combination for the Thomas Cup team to defend the title. The committee felt we needed to have one additional player in the singles while in doubles they have picked top two pairs and Sai Pratheek is selected as an additional doubles player after consultation with Mathias Boe (Danish doubles coach) just in case somebody is not fully fit or needs recovery.

“With all the experience as top-level players themselves and years of coaching experience, I believe they have picked a very balanced team and I believe these boys can win the title once again. The Uber Cup team also looks good with the young talented players. I wish them the best of luck and hope they will make the nation proud with their performances,” Mishra said in an official statement by BAI. The Indian men’s team had created history two years ago in Thailand when they defeated formidable Indonesia 3-0 in the final to clinch their first-ever Thomas Cup crown.

Thomas Cup squad:(Singles) HS Prannoy, Lakshya Sen, Kidambi Srikanth, Priyanshu Rajawat and Kiran George; (Doubles) Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty, MR Arjun, Dhruv Kapila and Sai Pratheek.

Uber Cup squad:(Singles) Anmol Kharb, Tanvi Sharma, Ashmita Chaliha and Isharani Baruah; (Doubles) Shruti Mishra, Priya Konjengbam, Simran Singhi and Ritika Thaker. (ANI)

Horror holds a nostalgic charm reminiscent of childhood tales: Sathish Ninasam

“Since this was my first attempt at horror, every shot and how it is visually expressed becomes important. Likewise, sound design also becomes important in creating the horror impact. Of course, there are emotions and love among other elements involved,” says Sathish, as he praises the meticulous preparation and collaboration behind the scenes and commends the technical expertise and collective effort of the team. “Thankfully, we had a director with a good technical background. We also had experienced actors come together for the film,” he adds.

Interestingly, from Sathish’s perspective, horror holds a nostalgic charm reminiscent of childhood tales. “Horror is more like a children’s film to me. Our grandmothers often told us ghost stories when we were young. There’s a certain allure to the genre, and there are millions of people out there who are fans of horror films. So, being part of it was also fun,” he says.

Sathish views the title Matinee as a metaphor with deeper meaning, while the film itself leans towards lighthearted fun and pure entertainment, avoiding any overt messages. When questioned about whether horror films have a deeper narrative, Sathish affirms, “Yes, while Matinee is filled with horror and humour, the plot also delves into strong emotions and themes of friendship. The first half of Matinee builds suspense with a search for the source of fear and confusion, while the second half unveils the true story behind it all. The film’s blend of lightheartedness and surprising depth creates a unique and rewarding experience for viewers,” he says.

As an actor, how does one face the challenges posed by a horror film? “I found working in a horror film rather fun, than challenging,” says Sathish, who recognised the importance of expertly navigating the suspenseful moments in horror. “I also understood the significance of immersing oneself in the character, a task that was made easier by teamwork,” he adds.

On the shooting experience, Sathish says that his camaraderie with co-actors like Nagabhushan and Shivaraj Pete added to the enjoyment. “They are all close friends, which made going to the sets a fun experience. When you have friends as co-actors, the work atmosphere becomes better. We felt confident enough to share our ideas freely, with no worries about judgment. We only focused on how we could improve together,” he says.

Looking ahead, Sathish reflects on his future plans. “I feel truly fulfilled as an actor, as I have a few good projects lined up. My confidence has only grown, and it will continue to increase after the release of Ashoka Blade. I have a handful of excellent films planned for the coming years,” he concludes.

The 30-share BSE Sensex surged 497.06 points or 0.67 per cent to hit all-time high of 74,373.88. The NSE Nifty climbed 144.70 points or 0.64 per cent to hit its fresh peak of 22,579.35.

Both the indices had ended lower in the previous two sessions.

On the 50-share barometer NSE Nifty, as many as 46 shares were in the positive zone.

According to V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, global and domestic cues indicate that the market is likely to consolidate in the coming days and start responding to Q4 results as they start coming. So, Q4 results will be the next major trigger for the market from a sectoral and stock-specific perspective.

“Market expects good results from autos, capital goods, telecom and select pharmaceuticals. Financials, too, will report good results despite some NIM compression and, therefore, are likely to be favoured by investors,” he said.

Asian markets were not trading. European markets ended Wednesday’s session in green. The US markets closed with mixed note. S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained while Dow closed with a marginal loss.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹2,213.56 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data.

Fitness trenerica otkrila nam je pet najboljih vježbi za oblikovanje ruku

OSIM lijepo oblikovanog struka, nogu i stražnjice, mnogim ljudima je želja treningom oblikovati i ruke. Kada je trening koji utječe na oblikovanje ruku u pitanju, postoje određene vježbe na koje bi trebalo obratiti pozornost i uključiti ih u trening. Razgovarali smo s fitness trenericom Martinom Gazivodom, koja nam je otkrila više o samom treningu i vježbama koje u njemu raditi.

Fitness trenerica Gazivoda izdvojila je najboljih pet vježbi za oblikovanje ruku te objasnila kako ih pravilno izvoditi za vidljive rezultate. 

Biceps pregib sa šipkom

Kao prvu vježbu za oblikovanje ruku Gazivoda izdvaja biceps pregib sa šipkom. Za Index je objasnila i kako točno izvesti vježbu. “Zauzmite stojeći stav ravnih leđa i blago savijenih nogu u zglobu koljena te uhvatite šipku pothvatom malo šire od širine ramena. Na početku vježbe ruke su ispružene uz tijelo, a zatim se izvodi pregib podlaktice te se podlaktica vraća u početni položaj”, kaže.

Kod izvođenja vježbe obratite pozornost na stabilnost trupa te da vam se laktovi, odnosno nadlaktice, ne miču od tijela. Osim sa šipkom, trenerica kaže da se ova vježba može izvoditi i s bučicama. 

“Ovu vježbu možete izvoditi i s bučicama ili se ‘igrati’ s hvatom pa odraditi biceps pregib s bučicama. U toj varijanti će se uz biceps više aktivirati i podlaktica”, dodaje Gazivoda. 

Triceps ekstenzija na sajli

Za izvođenje ove druge vježbe, vježbačima će biti potrebna sajla i odgovarajući nastavak, najčešće konop ili šipka. 

“Konop vam omogućuje veći opseg pokreta. Kada zauzmete odgovarajući stav, trup možete blago nagnuti prema naprijed, uhvatite konop nathvatom, a nadlaktice su stabilno uz tijelo. Izvodi se ekstenzija podlakticama do ispruženog položaja, zatim se ruke vraćaju u početnu poziciju. Pokret je spor i kontroliran, s laganom zadrškom u donjem dijelu pokreta”, objašnjava. 

Fitness trenerica kaže da je ovo izolirajuća vježba koja je odlična za oblikovanje stražnje strane nadlaktice. 

Triceps potisak s čela

Vježbu triceps potisak s čela možete izvoditi u teretani ili kod kuće. U teretani se vježba najčešće radi s pomoću šipke, dok u kućnom treningu možete koristiti i bučice.

“Lezite na klupicu, šipku uhvatite malo uže od ramena. Početna pozicija je da izravnate ruke tako da se šipka nalazi iznad glave. Pokret počinjete ekstenzijom ruku u laktovima, dok šipkom ne dođete do čela ili iza glave. Bitno je da pripazite da su vam prilikom ekstenzije laktovi stabilni, objasnila je trenerica izvođenje vježbe šipkom za Index. 

Rameni potisak

Rameni potisak je “višezglobna vježba koja se može izvoditi u stojećoj ili sjedećoj varijanti. Stojeća varijanta zahtjeva bolju stabilnost, i aktivaciju jezgre te nogu i kukova, dok sjedeća varijanta ne zahtijeva istu razinu stabilnosti jer tijelo dobije stabilnost od klupice na kojoj sjedimo”, kaže trenerica. 

Objasnila je i sam proces izvođenja vježbe. “Pokret kreće iz donje pozicije, šipku držite iznad gornjeg dijela prsa s hvatom na šipci malo šire od ramena, šipku potiskujete prema gore do potpuno opruženih laktova, te vratite u početni položaj”. 

Fitness trenerica savjetuje da početnici krenu polako. “Za početnike je bolje krenuti raditi rameni potisak s bučicama ili girjama, u stabilnijim uvjetima, na klupici, ili na koljenima, kada usavršite tehniku možete prijeći na rameni potisak sa šipkom”, kaže ona.

Odručenje bučicama 

Odručenje bučicama ili lateral raises je još jedna vježba koju trenerica preporučuje da isprobaju svi koji žele oblikovati ruke. 

“Zauzmite stabilan stav, stopala su paralelno. Početna pozicija kod ove vježbe može biti s rukama sa strane ili blago ispred tijela. Podignite ruke do horizontalne pozicije, ruke su blago savijene u zglobu lakta, u najvišoj točci pokreta lakat bi trebao biti više od šipke. Pokret je spor i kontroliran”, kaže trenerica.

Objavio video Cane Corsa bez povodca: “Žene s djecom prelaze na drugu stranu ulice”

TIKTOKER Rista Radičević izazvao je raspravu nakon što je objavio video koji prikazuje njegovog Cane Corsa Icea bez povodca i upitao ljude jesu li primijetili diskriminaciju nad velikim psima. Njegova je snimka prikupila više od milijun pregleda i tisuću komentara.

“Vidim neku ženu šeta nekog maltezera. Onaj pas vuče lijevo, desno, tri metra od nje, laje, laje na Icea… Doslovno ga ne može kontrolirati. Sreća pa pas ima 2.5 kila. Ja šetam Icea, zalaje jednom, svi ljudi se okreću, kao: ‘Wow, zalajao je'”, opisao je.

“Žene s djecom, kad vide Icea, prelaze na drugu stranu ulice. On obožava djecu, obožava se maziti, dok bi onaj mali pikavac odgrizao djetetu prst da može”, dodao je i upitao svoje pratitelje koje je njihovo mišljenje o ovomu. Mnogi su ga napali.

Jedni ga napadaju, drugi brane

“Ma da, baš čudno. Nema povodca, nema brnjice – a ljudi se boje”, “Poprilično sam siguran da mi Ice može otkinuti nogu, a ovaj mali ne može”, “Prvo i osnovno pravilo je da ga vodiš na povodcu i po potrebi s brnjicom. Nisi svjestan što tvoj pas može napraviti u trenutku bijesa”, pišu.

No, neki su ga i branili. “Znam o čemu pričaš, živa istina”, “Toliko o ‘agresivnoj vrsti psa’. U životu me tri puta ugrizao pas, ni jedna ‘opasna vrsta’: čivava, maltezer i njemački špic. Mali psi su puno agresivniji”, “Ice je baš lijep, vidi se da je duša”, komentiraju.

INTERNETSKA trgovina Temu brani se od optužbi njemačkih potrošačkih organizacija koji tvrde da koristi nepoštene prakse. Temu tvrdi da je nepravedno prikazan u negativnom svjetlu, a glasnogovornik tvrtke izjavio je za Heise: “Naša praksa je poštena.”

Nedavno je Savez njemačkih potrošačkih organizacija (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband – vzbv) upozorio Temu i zatražio od njih da se obavežu da će se suzdržati od određenih praksi na internetu. Konkretno, vzbv je kritizirao Temu zbog prikazivanja popusta bez pružanja dodatnih informacija o referentnim cijenama. Glasnogovornik Temua je naglasio: “Pažljivo pregledavamo sve informacije o cijenama koje nam daju naši prodavači kako bismo osigurali točnost i transparentnost za naše kupce.”

Vzbv dalje optužuje Temu za utjecaj na korisnike online platforme putem manipulativnih taktika, poznatih kao “mračni obrasci”, što je ove godine zabranjeno prema Zakonu o digitalnim uslugama EU-a. U odgovoru na to, Temu tvrdi da obavijesti poput “126 ljudi ima ovaj artikl u svojoj košarici” odražavaju stvarne zalihe i aktivnost kupnje. Oni ističu da je svrha ovih obavijesti pomoći potrošačima u donošenju informiranih odluka, a ne manipulirati ili ih prisiljavati. Nadalje, naglašavaju da informirani kupci dovode do veće razine zadovoljstva kupaca i smanjenog broja povrata proizvoda.

“Nikad ne brišemo negativne recenzije”

Vzbv također izražava sumnju u autentičnost recenzija proizvoda na Temu zbog nedostatka informacija o njima. “Nikada ne brišemo niti potiskujemo negativne recenzije”, tvrdi Temu. “Štoviše, pružamo posebne filtre za njih jer smatramo da mogu pomoći u provjeri trgovaca i potaknuti ih da poboljšaju kvalitetu svojih proizvoda i usluga.”

Kako bi se jasno identificirali dobavljači proizvoda, Temu ističe da je učinio njihove logotipe vidljivijima na web stranici. “Također smo dodali poštanske brojeve za sve dobavljače, uzimajući u obzir preferencije europskih potrošača”, naglašava Temu – čak i ako su dobavljači smješteni u Kini.

Pod potporom kineskog tehnološkog diva PDD Holdings, Temu je prije godinu dana ušao na europsko tržište i postao je najpreuzimanija aplikacija za kupovinu u mnogim zemljama prošle godine.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ will be back for season 21

LOS ANGELES: TV channel ABC has renewed long-running medical drama Grey’s Anatomy for its 21st season.

The return of the acclaimed series, which had been in the works for a while, comes as the strikes-impacted 20th season recently returned to the network.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the renewal marks the second season under new showrunner Meg Marinis, who took over at the end of season 19 for Krista Vernoff.

It is created and executive produced by Shonda Rhimes.

“The loyalty and love of Grey’s Anatomy fans has propelled us into a historic 21st season, and I could not be more grateful. Meg Marinis’ storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for next season,” Rhimes said in a statement.

No details about returning cast have been revealed but leading lady Ellen Pompeo, who plays the role of Dr Meredith Grey in the series, is expected to continue her role in recurring capacity after exiting ahead of season 20 as a series regular.

Grey’s Anatomy remains the longest running primetime medical drama in TV history after surpassing ER in 2019.

Sensex, Nifty end flat amid volatility

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty, which opened on negative note tracking global markets, especially the US, ended flat on Wednesday. The 30-share BSE Sensex declined by 27.09 points to close at 73,876.82, recovering from day’s low of 73,757.23. The broader NSE Nifty edged down 18.65 points

However, mid- and small-cap stocks continued to attract buying interest. The BSE MidCap rose 0.63 per cent and the BSE Smallcap index surged 1.19 per cent.

Despite heavy selling by foreign portfolio investors, the market remained steady. FPIs were sellers to the tune of ₹2,213.56 crore.

Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said: “Markets are trading with caution ahead of the RBI policy meeting and key macro data to be released in the US and Europe. Also, US Fed Chair Powell’s speech will be keenly watched. We expect the market to consolidate over the next few days until the events unfold.”

Gainers & Laggards

While index heavy weights Reliance, Hindustan Unilever, Maruti and Tata Steel fell, stocks such as NTPC, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, Axis Bank, Bharti Airtel, M&M and Tata Motors edged up.

Among the sectors, BSE Utilities was the biggest gainer rising 1.45 per cent, followed by BSE Power (1.20 per cent). The BSE IT sector rose 0.78 per cent, thanks to global investment advisory firm CLSA upgrading major stocks such as TCS, HCL Tech and Tech Mahindra. BSE Industrials and BSE Financial Services edged up 0.48 per cent and 0.45 per cent, respectively.

Among sectoral indices, BSE Realty, which has been on an uptrend in recent times, fell the most by 2.45 per cent, followed by BSE Auto (0.37 per cent). BSE FMCG index slipped 0.27 per cent and BSE Consumer Durables weakened by 0.23 per cent.

Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research, Angel One, said: “Going ahead, sectoral rotation is evident and is expected to keep the traders’ fraternity busy in the coming sessions. Hence, it is required to maintain exclusivity in stock selection for outperformance. Simultaneously, global developments need to be tracked closely as they might affect the ongoing trend of our markets. For now, dips are anticipated to augur well for the bulls and we would advocate following the aforementioned levels stringently.”

Nutricionistica izdvojila razloge zašto bismo trebali jesti prehranu bogatu vlaknima

ZDRAVA prehrana uključuje konzumaciju svih vrsta hranjivih tvari u obrocima. Namirnice koje jedemo sadrže različite hranjive i korisne tvari, a vlakna su nešto što ne bismo trebali izbjegavati jer imaju mnoge zdravstvene dobrobiti.

Nutricionistica Lovneet Batra izdvaja da bismo dnevno trebali unijeti 25 do 40 grama vlakana u organizam. Unošenje vlakana važno je za hormonsku ravnotežu, regulaciju inzulina u tijelu i druge funkcije. Kao jedne od najboljih namirnica koje su bogate vlaknima, nutricionistica je izdvojila voće, povrće, leću i cjelovite žitarice. Također, otkrila je i nekoliko razloga zašto bismo često trebali konzumirati vlakna.

Utječu na smanjenje upale

Nutricionistica tvrdi da hrana bogata vlaknima, osobito topivim vlaknima, smanjuje upalu u tijelu. “Smanjivanjem upalnih markera, vlakna mogu pomoći u ravnoteži hormona na koje utječe upala, poput kortizola i inzulina”, objašnjava ona.

Kada je u pitanju reguliranje inzulina, vlakna usporavaju apsorpciju šećera u krvotok, sprječavajući skokove šećera u krvi. “To može pomoći u regulaciji proizvodnje inzulina i osjetljivosti, promicati bolju kontrolu šećera u krvi i smanjiti rizik od inzulinske rezistencije”, dodaje nutricionistica.

Slično je i s regulacijom razine kortizola. Hrana bogata vlaknima može pomoći u “moduliranju razine kortizola” promicanjem stabilne razine šećera u krvi i smanjenjem stresa za tijelo. Reguliranje razine kortizola može ublažiti negativne učinke kroničnog stresa i podržati zdravu funkciju nadbubrežne žlijezde. 

Vlakna utječu na dobre bakterije u organizmu

Vlakna djeluju kao prebiotik, hraneći dobre bakterije u crijevima. “Zdrava ravnoteža crijevnih bakterija neophodna je za cjelokupnu hormonalnu ravnotežu. Vlakna podržavaju rast dobrih bakterija te mogu utjecati na razinu hormona u tijelu i promicati zdrav rad metabolizma”, tvrdi nutricionistica.

Dr. Martens u problemima? Moguća prodaja tvrtke

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.

INVESTICIJSKA tvrtka Marathon Partners Equity Management želi da britanski proizvođač čizama Dr. Martens započne sa strateškim pregledom koji bi mogao rezultirati prodajom tvrtke. Naime, tvrde da zarada Dr. Martensa stagnira, kao i da su cijene dionica pale za 83% od 2021.

Oštar pad cijena dionica

“Očuvanje Dr. Martensa kao neovisne tvrtke vjerojatno više nije u najboljem interesu dioničara”, napisao je Mario Cibelli, upravitelj članova Marathon Partnersa, upravi tvrtke Dr. Martens prošlog mjeseca. Pismo je datirano na 15. ožujka, prenosi Reuters čiji su novinari do njega došli ovaj tjedan.

Dr. Martens najpoznatiji je po svojim čizmama s debelim potplatom i žutim šavovima, a najčešće ih viđamo na alternativcima. Iako ova skupina ljudi nije mala, nije dovoljna da brend održi na vrhu. Brend bi vjerojatno ostvarivao bolje prihode kao privatna tvrtka ili kao dio veće grupe. Tvrtka trenutno ima tržišnu vrijednost od oko 1.1 milijarde dolara, njezin iznimno jak brend mogao bi je učiniti atraktivnom za potencijalne kupce koji bi možda htjeli potrošiti najmanje 2 milijarde dolara na kupnju.

Marathon Partners Equity Management posjeduje otprilike 5 milijuna dionica, što znači da je jedan od 30 najvećih investitora u Dr. Martensu. Cibelli je izjavio kako je nekoliko puta razgovarao s menadžmentom i članovima uprave, a izrazio je zabrinutost da bi tvrtka mogla imati velikih problema sa zaradom na cijeni dionica. Smatra da bi ozbiljan kupac mogao eliminirati nepotrebne troškove.

Cibelli je također izrazio podršku CEO-u Dr. Martensa Kennyju Wilsonu u pismu, a opisao ga je kao otvorenog i talentiranog izvršnog direktora.

TTE Vinod, who was pushed to death, was a budding film actor

KOCHI: “Tributes to friend and actor TTE Vinod,” noted actor Mohanlal on Facebook, after he learned about the death of KA Vinod, a Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) who was killed after he was pushed off a moving train by a migrant labourer, who was travelling without a ticket on Tuesday.

Vinod, an Ernakulam native, has played small roles in more than 10 Malayalam films, including Mohanlal’s Pulimurugan, Peruchazhi, Ennum Eppozhum, and Oppam. He was an actor and was passionate about films.

Artists, directors and technicians from the industry, after learning about his death, shared their memories with him and wrote on social media platforms. “Shocking news of Mr Vinod’s murder leaves me speechless. He starred in my last movie, ‘Nalla Nilavulla Rathri.’ May his soul rest in peace.” wrote producer and actor Sandra Thomas. “Dear Vinod, the film was a big dream and did a few roles. Now you have left your dreams. Gone too soon,” noted Vinod Guruvaayoor, director.

Vinod made his debut in the Malayalam film industry in 2014, through the Mammotty starring Gangster, directed by Ashiq Abu. He has also acted in Joju Geroge’s Joseph, Manglish, etc.  

He died after an Odisha native, Rajinikantha Ranajith (42), travelling on the Ernakulam – Patna Express pushed him from the running train, causing him to fall off near the Velappaya bridge between Mulankunnathukavu and Wadakkanchery in Thrissur on Tuesday.

How Do I Negotiate the Price for Property For Sale Belize?

the Price for Property For Sale Belize

If you’re thinking about buying Property For Sale belize, it’s important to do your research. Find a local real estate agent who has a deep understanding of the market and can guide you through the process. They can help you navigate the complex Belizean legal system and make sure that you’re getting a good deal. They can also help you avoid scams and pitfalls that may be lurking in the shadows of the process.

Once you’ve found a promising Property For Sale Belize, it’s time to start the negotiation process. The first step is to determine the property’s fair market value. This is usually done through a comparative market analysis. This will help you understand the value of the property and set a realistic asking price. A good Realtor can help you navigate this process and ensure that you don’t overpay or underpay for the property.

Next, it’s important to consider the location and amenities of the property. For example, if you’re looking for a beachfront property, be sure to include that in your search criteria. In addition, it’s a good idea to visit the area at different times of year to get a feel for the weather. Finally, be sure to check the title to ensure that it’s clear and free of liens or mortgages. Your attorney can help you do this by running a search of the public registry, and they can also recommend that you have a survey done to clearly mark the boundaries of the property.

How Do I Negotiate the Price for Property For Sale Belize?

Lastly, it’s important to consider the costs of purchasing a property in Belize. In general, prices are lower than those of comparable properties in the United States or Europe. Additionally, the country has no capital gains tax or inheritance taxes, which can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.

After agreeing on a price, the buyer and seller should sign a purchase agreement. This should include the agreed-upon price, any contingencies, and other relevant details. It’s a good idea to have a Belizean attorney review the document to make sure it complies with local law.

If you’re looking for a bargain, you can also buy property at auctions in Belize. These are typically advertised in the local newspaper and on television, and foreigners are welcome to participate. However, it’s a good idea to do your research before attending an auction, as you may be competing with local bidders who have more knowledge of the property.

In addition, it’s important to keep in mind that you’ll likely have to pay a 5% stamp duty on the purchase price. This fee is based on the government’s evaluation of the property, but the first $10,000 USD of the purchase price is tax-free. Once this is paid, the title will be transferred to your name. This process can take up to 60 days or more, so be patient!

equity markets fall in early trade amid negative global trends

Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty declined in early trade on Wednesday amid weak global trends, higher crude oil prices, and outflow of foreign funds.

The 30-share BSE Sensex declined 281.18 points or 0.38 per cent to 73,622.73. The NSE Nifty dipped 93.15 points or 0.41 per cent to 22,360.15.

  • Also read: Rupee trades in narrow range against US dollar in early trade

Among the Sensex constituents, 22 stocks were trading in red with Bharti Airtel, Nestle India, Sun Pharma, and IndusInd Bank being the major laggards.

In contrast, Ultratech Cement, Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank, and Tata Steel defied the trend and were trading in positive territory.

On the 50-share barometer NSE Nifty, as many as 38 shares were in the negative zone.

According to V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, the rising bond yields in the US are impacting equity markets.

He said the expectations of the interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in July are fading now since the labour market continues to be tight and the rising crude is feared to add to inflation.

“Even though the Fed chief has been sounding dovish recently, the market is now less optimistic about 3 rate cuts in 2024. This will continue to be a drag on equity markets globally. In India FPIs may continue to sell,” he said.

Asian markets were trading in negative with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and Japan’s Nikkei 225 losing sharply by 0.78 per cent and 0.68 per cent, respectively. China’s Shanghai Composite was trading at a loss of 0.24 per cent.

The US and European markets ended largely lower on Tuesday.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹1,622.69 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.08 per cent to $88.99 a barrel.

On Tuesday, the BSE benchmark Sensex declined by 110.64 points or 0.15 per cent to settle at 73,903.91. The NSE Nifty closed 8.70 points or 0.04 per cent lower at 22,453.30.

Broken glass, expensive bananas and moment marketing

My favourite marketing moment of the recently concluded Tata Women’s Premier League (WPL) came when Ellyse Perry, playing for team RCB, hit a huge shot that broke the window glass of the Tata Punch.ev car displayed near the boundary of the stadium. By doing this she shattered yet another glass ceiling, in the midst of a tournament which is proving to be an inflection point for women’s sports in India.

Perry Powerful Punch

The Tata Punch.ev team promptly capitalised on this totally unplanned moment. They immortalised the event by taking the same broken window glass, adding a bolt to it to represent the electric spirit of the game, and gifting the framed broken glass to Ellyse Perry. Below the frame, they added the lovely phrase — “#Perry Powerful Punch”.

This was a smart marketing move that took the internet by storm. In fact, it got this electric vehicle the kind of positive attention that no paid advertising campaign could have delivered.

Bananas and Butter

This reminded me of an interesting tactical marketing campaign that the food delivery platform Zomato had implemented four years ago. The actor Rahul Bose, who was staying at a five-star hotel, had ordered a couple of bananas to eat. The hotel provided him two bananas, and charged him ₹442 for these humble fruits. He promptly wrote about his experience on Twitter.

The marketing team at Zomato seized this moment to quickly run their own campaign. One of their tongue-in-cheek posts said — “You could get a banana milkshake and banana split (on Zomato) in less than the amount the 52-year old actor paid for his bananas”.

The big daddy of moment marketing in India is Amul. Amul’s topical hoardings are legendary, and have played a key role in creating the cool, fun image of this milk and butter brand. They cover subjects from sports to politics to moon landings, and they often appear within a few hours of the event having occurred. Amul has been brilliantly capitalising on moments of national interest for over fifty years now, ever since the first hoarding showcasing the Amul girl appeared in 1967.

Why moment marketing works

These examples bring into focus the power of moment marketing. Moment marketing works so well because it leverages a subject which is already on top of the consumer’s mind. When a brand brings a novel perspective to this very same subject — sometimes witty or humorous, at other times a gracious tribute — people love it.

When a brand leverages a trending event in refreshing new ways, there is a significantly higher probability that its communication will break through the clutter and connect with viewers. In addition, if this communication also integrates key elements of the core value proposition of the brand, then there is a positive rub-off on the brand’s appeal.

In today’s era of social media, moment marketing is perhaps also one of the most cost-effective methods of mass marketing. This is because a social media campaign that capitalises on a trending topic in a very interesting manner can spread like wildfire at no cost. In fact, if it catches the imagination, there is the possibility of users generating their own related content which can amplify the core campaign.

Preparing for the moment

Moment marketing is often a spontaneous response to an unanticipated occurrence. At other times, it could leverage a festival or an event that is pre-planned. Either way, if marketing teams wish to make moment marketing a way of life, then some preparation would be important.

First, the team has to keep its ears close to the ground, to quickly identify moments which can be seized by the brand. It would be useful for the team to proactively list out the kind of opportunities which are a best fit for their particular brand, so that their listening can then focus on specific channels.

Second, teams may wish to brainstorm possible wild-card scenarios, and what their brand’s response would be, in each such situation. While these scenarios may never actually come about, the brainstorming exercise is likely to sensitise team members to the possibilities and the range of responses.

Third, moment marketing requires brands to empower their frontline social media teams and communication agencies, particularly because such campaigns have to be executed very quickly before the moment goes stale. Such an empowered approach also requires a proper set of guardrails to be defined, to ensure that sensitive topics are handled appropriately.

Finally, successful moment marketing requires a constant stream of new, interesting and appealing topical ideas. A marketing team (including partner agencies) with a high creative quotient and a penchant for offbeat ideas is the most important ingredient in making this happen.

Četiri jednostavne vježbe u koje se trener kune za oblikovane ruke i struk

OBLIKOVANJE struka i ruku može se činiti kao zastrašujući zadatak. Srećom, postoje jednostavne, ali učinkovite vježbe koje nam mogu pomoći da brzo i učinkovito postignemo svoje ciljeve. Uključivanjem ciljanih vježbi u svoju rutinu, možemo isklesati svoj struk i ojačati svoje ruke, poboljšavajući i svoj fizički izgled i ukupnu razinu kondicije. Osobni trener, Andrew White, otkrio je četiri takve jednostavne i brze vježbe.

1. Podizanje iz planka (plank ups)

Podizanje iz planka je jednostavna, ali vrlo učinkovita vježba, poznata po svojoj sposobnosti ciljanja mišića jezgre i ruku. Ovaj dinamički pokret uključuje prijelaz iz položaja podlaktice u položaj visokog planka, angažirajući mišiće u rukama, ramenima i središnjem dijelu tijela.

“Podizanje iz planka moćna je vježba za jezgru i ruke. Pomaže u jačanju i toniranju ruku, ramena i prsa, dok istovremeno angažira cijeli središnji dio tijela”, rekao je White za SheFinds.

Kako izvesti vježbu:

  1. Započinjemo u položaju planka na podlakticama.
  2. Jednu ruku potpuno ispružimo kao bismo došli u položaj visokog planka, zatim napravimo isto i s drugom rukom i dolazimo u položaj za sklekove.
  3. Vraćamo se u početni položaj spuštajući jednu pa drugu podlakticu u položaj niskog planka.

2. Ruski twist

Uključivanje vježbe ruskog twista u vašu rutinu vježbanja može dovesti do poboljšane snage jezgre, definicije ruku i zategnutijeg središnjeg dijela tijela. Ova vježba nudi prikladan način za smanjenje struka i toniranje ruku te je vrijedan dodatak svakoj fitness rutini.

White dodaje: “Ruski twist cilja na mišiće koji su ključni za definiranu liniju struka. Ova vježba pomaže oblikovati bočne strane trbuha, što dovodi do definiranijeg struka. Osim toga, pokreti i težina toniraju i ruke.”

Kako izvesti:

  1. Sjednemo na pod sa savijenim koljenima i stopalima lagano podignutim od tla.
  2. Nagnemo se unatrag pod blagim kutom kako bismo aktivirali mišiće jezgre.
  3. Držeći uteg s obje ruke, zakrenemo struk udesno, zatim ulijevo kako bismo dovršili jedno ponavljanje.

3. Triceps dip

Triceps dip nudi brzo i dostupno rješenje za svakoga tko želi isklesati svoje ruke i smanjiti struk. Ova vježba uključuje iskorištavanje tjelesne težine kako bi istovremeno ciljala tricepse, ramena i jezgru tijela.

“Triceps dips prvenstveno se fokusiraju na triceps i mišiće na stražnjoj strani nadlaktica. Oni su izvrsni za toniranje i jačanje ruku, doprinoseći vitkijim, definiranijim rukama bez potrebe za velikim utezima”, otkriva White.

Kako izvesti:

  1. Sjednemo na rub stolice ili klupe s rukama uz bokove.
  2. Kliznemo kukovima s ruba i savijemo laktove kako bismo spustili tijelo.
  3. Pritisnemo dlanovima kako bismo podigli tijelo natrag u početni položaj.

4. Penjači (mountain climbers)

“Mountain climbers su dinamične vježbe visokog intenziteta koje ciljaju trup, ruke i ramena. Pomažu u definiranju ruku i značajno angažiraju trbušne mišiće, što rezultira tanjim strukom”, napominje White.

Kako izvesti:

  1. Započnemo u položaju visokog planka s rukama ispod ramena.
  2. Povučemo jedno koljeno prema prsima, a zatim ga brzo zamijenimo s drugim koljenom, kao da trčimo na mjestu u položaju planka.

White zaključuje da učinkovitost ovih vježbi leži u njihovoj sposobnosti da spoje jačanje mišića s izdržljivošću, ključnim elementima za oblikovanje i definiranje ruku i struka. Vrijedno je napomenuti da dosljednost igra ključnu ulogu u postizanju vidljivih rezultata.

Veterinari savjetuju: Ovo su najbolji načini da produžite život svom psu

VETERINAR Pete Wedderburn je za Newsweek otkrio načine kako vlasnici mogu pomoći svojim psima da dugo žive. “Psi ovise o nama. Mi im moramo pomoći u životu”, rekao je. Naveo je pet načina kako im omogućiti bolji život.

Prehrana

Vlasnici bi trebali svojim kućnim ljubimcima omogućiti raznovrsniju prehranu jer se njihov probavni sustav mijenja s godinama. Kvalitetna hrana radi veliku razliku. Kako pas stari, njegove potrebe se mijenjaju, a vlasnici moraju promijeniti prehranu. Također, stalno im mora biti dostupna voda koja je ključna za održavanje zdravlja. “Potreban im je pristup svježoj vodi. Mijenjajte je svaki dan”, dodao je.

Dodaci prehrani

Kako bi psi imali što zdraviji i duži život, potrebno im je davati dodatke prehrani. Dodavanje hranjivih tvari i vitamina ojačat će njihov imunološki sustav, poboljšati probavu i pomoći zdravlju zglobova i kostiju.

Iako postoji mnogo dodataka prehrani za odabir, Wedderburn naglašava korištenje omega-3 masnih kiselina. Ovaj dodatak pomaže u održavanju srca, zglobova, dlake, kože i imunološkog sustava psa. Rekao je da ga je najlakši način dodati u prehranu putem kapsula.

Važno je dati im vremena da se prilagode na hranu i dodatke prehrani. Dopustite da prođe oko dva mjeseca s jednom rutinom, rekao je Wedderburn, budući da je otprilike toliko vremena potrebno da se hranjive tvari u potpunosti apsorbiraju.

Veterinarka Daisy May rekla je za Newsweek da također preporučuje omega-3 masne kiseline, kao i dodatke prehrani koji sadrže glukozamin i kondroitin. Ovi će dodaci pomoći u održavanju zdravih zglobova kod starijih i aktivnih pasa.

Mentalna stimulacija

Mentalno zdravlje i stimulacija za pse jednako su važni kao i njihovo fizičko zdravlje. Wedderburn je preporučio – podloga za lizanje koja pomaže smiriti psa tako što potiče otpuštanje endorfina kroz lizanje. Vlasnici mogu staviti različitu hranu na te podloge, poput maslaca od kikirikija ili zgnječene banane. “Kad je pas stimuliran mogu se smanjiti problemi u ponašanju”, objasnila je May.

Zdravlje zuba

Loše oralno zdravlje može naštetiti vašem cjelokupnom zdravlju. Klinika Cleveland izvijestila je da loše zdravlje zubi može dovesti do problema kao što su kardiovaskularne bolesti, endokarditis, upala pluća ili bolesti desni. A Wedderburn je rekao da isto vrijedi i za pse.

“Nakupljanje zubnog plaka i kamenca može dovesti do bolesti desni, gubitka zuba i ozbiljnih infekcija koje utječu na usta, bubrege, srce i zglobove. Preporučujem da psu perete zube najmanje 2-3 puta dnevno na tjedan i zakazivanje čišćenja zuba sa svojim veterinarom barem jednom godišnje”, kaže May. 

Wedderburn je predložio da vlasnici peru psu prednje zube. Za čišćenje stražnjih zuba rekao je da treba koristiti zubne žvake za koje je klinički dokazano da su učinkovite. 

Smanjite stres kod pasa

Vlasnici pasa svoje ljubimce stavljaju na prvo mjesto i vole ih voditi svugdje sa sobom. No, nekada ih ne mogu voditi sa sobom. Zato ih često ostavljaju u hotelima ili pansionima za pse, no to kod nekih pasa izaziva depresiju. “Ljudi su tamo možda ljubazni, ali to nije mjesto gdje su naviknuli biti”, rekao je Wedderburn.

Predložio je da ostavite pse kod teta čuvalica koje čak mogu doći u vaš dom i ondje čuvati vašeg ljubimca. Tako smanjujete stres kod pasa, što je posebno važno za starije pse jer njih to više pogađa od mlađih pasa. 

San je također važan

Wedderburn je također istaknuo važnost sna za pse. “Ljudi ne razmišljaju dovoljno o tome je li njihov pas odmoran. Stvarno je važno brinuti se za njega”, tvrdi on. Wedderburn kaže da topao i mekan krevet može učiniti veliku razliku za njih i njihove zglobove.

May je također naglasila važnost zakazivanja redovitih posjeta veterinaru, navodeći da će godišnji pregledi i šestomjesečni wellness posjeti starijim psima omogućiti timovima praćenje cjelokupnog zdravlja, rano otkrivanje problema i pružanje liječenja ili preporuka za specifične potrebe svakog psa.

“Uočavanje potencijalnih medicinskih problema u njihovim početnim fazama daje nam najbolju priliku za uspješno rješenje”, rekla je May.

Kendall Jenner pozirala u elegantnoj haljini. Ljudi pišu: Savršenstvo

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.

KENDALL JENNER u posljednje vrijeme niže prilično upečatljive modne kombinacije koje privlače pažnju. Tako je prije nekoliko dana predstavila jedno svoje sportsko izdanje i najavila povratak kapri hlača, a sada je pokazala vrlo elegantnu kombinaciju koju je nosila u nedjelju za Uskrs.

Naime, odlučila se za dugačku haljinu boje bjelokosti, a modnu kombinaciju pokazala je na svom Instagram profilu. “Haljina mojih snova”, napisala je. Haljina joj savršeno pristaje i oličenje je staroholivudske elegancije.

Svilena tkanina i baršunaste mašne

Haljina marke Rodarte, izrađena od svilene krep tkanine, ukrašena je detaljima u obliku baršunastih mašni na nabranim rukavima. Kendall je uz haljinu odabrala crne salonke na petu te sunčane naočale. Njezin make-up bio je minimalan, a kosa raspuštena.

“Moja lijepa princeza u svom tajnom vrtu”, napisala joj je Kris Jenner ispod objave. No, osim mamine poruke, nanizali su se i komentari mnogih drugih. “Savršenstvo”, “Ova haljina ti stoji kao salivena”, “Najljepša djevojka ikada”, “Ovo je haljina i iz mojih snova”, “Kao san”, “Lijepa”, samo su neki od njih. 

Našli smo slične haljine

Rodarte haljina, iako divna, prilično je i skupa. Stoga smo pregledali ponudu trgovina i izdvojili slične modele, nešto niže cijene. Možete ih vidjeti ispod.

Shakira says ‘Barbie’ is emasculating to certain extent, her sons hated it

“I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide.

“I believe in giving women all the tools and the trust that we can do it all without losing our essence, without losing our femininity.

I think that men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well.

We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost,” she added.

When the interviewer asked, just because a woman can do it all doesn’t mean she should, Shakira said: “Why not share the load with people who deserve to carry it, who have a duty to carry it as well?”

“Barbie”, written by Gerwig and her husband Noah Baumbach, made history as the first movie to gross over USD 1 billion directed solely by a woman.

The film also received eight Oscar nominations, winning Best Original Song.

Shorter settlement has benefited market: SEBI chief 

The adoption of a shorter settlement cycle has benefited the securities ecosystem, said the chief of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Speaking at an annual summit on corporate governance organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry, SEBI chief Madhabi Puri Buch, quoted a ratio that captured this improvement. She said that prior to the introduction of the T+1 settlement cycle, the DVP (Delivery versus payment) ratio was 0.7-0-8 per cent. After the implementation of the shorter settlement cycle, this ratio had halved to 0.3-0.4 per cent, implying that the market transactions had become far more optimal and efficient.

T+1 was introduced in 2021 and implemented in phases. The beta version of T+0 settlement cycle has been made available on an optional basis from March 28 this year.

Buch further said that trust is a two way street and it is important for the industry and the regulator to build trust.

“The regulator is nothing but a proxy for investors. The resilience of the market today is because of the participation of retail investors,” she said.

The magic formula of celeb-owned brands

Guess who is hitting the jackpot on India’s start-up street? Their films might be hit or miss, but Bollywood celebrities are finding huge success with the brands they are co-creating.

Take Katrina Kaif, who teamed up with beauty and lifestyle retailer, Nykaa, to launch Kay Beauty in 2019. Nearly 1.5 million consumers have bought the products of this brand so far. Earlier this month, Falguni Nayar, Executive Chairperson, Founder and CEO of Nykaa, pointed out that Kay Beauty was the “third-most searched” direct-to-consumer brand on the platform and also among “the top three brands at Nykaa’s stores”. She said, “Kay Beauty is expected to grow at the rate of 62 per cent after a robust year of expansion into new doors (retail stores).”

Nayar said that the brand was created by Katrina Kaif and Nykaa, to “bridge the gap between high glamour and care.” With a 1.4 million-strong Instagram community, the brand’s lip oils were sold out in one day demonstrating its prowess in bringing international trends to the forefront, she added.

Winning partnerships

Equally sweet has been the brand outing of Kareena Kapoor Khan. Last year, she formed a strategic partnership with SUGAR Cosmetics founders Vineeta Singh & Kaushik Mukherjee to launch a premium Korean skincare brand, Quench Botanics.

Kaushik Mukherjee, Director, Quench Botanics told brandline, “When the superstar and beauty icon Kareena Kapoor Khan loved the Quench products, she came on board as a co-owner and investor, affirming faith in the brand. Sales have more than doubled for quarter-on-quarter. A substantial increase in the follower base was also observed on our Instagram platform. Associating with her has helped step up the brand’s awareness and reach significantly amongst consumers.”

Mukherjee pointed out that Quench Botanics’ proposition of accessible Korean skincare tailored for Indian skin and weather conditions resonated well with consumers.

According to Sukhleen Aneja, CEO, Good Brands Co, Good Glamm Group, celeb-led brands are thriving in today’s beauty market as they gain instant recognition and recall. “We partnered with Manish Malhotra in 2018 to create and launch Manish Malhotra Beauty by MyGlamm, which has become one of the largest luxury makeup brands of India. These kinds of partnerships enable us to tap into diverse consumer segments and engage with them in innovative ways gaining access to their loyal fan bases,” she says.

Besides co-creating a brand, the beauty major has also come up with celeb-anchored limited-edition collections and exclusive launches. “Our most recent launch of the MyGlamm POUT collection in partnership with Karan Johar in December 2023 was a huge success and has gone on to be the No 1 best-selling lipstick for MyGlamm on platforms like Amazon,” she added.

For film stars, feted for their looks, it’s natural to segue into the booming beauty industry and the associations with new age start-ups is paying off.

Nayar said as India’s per capita income rises from $2,500 today to $5,500 by 2030, it is projected that the BPC (beauty and personal care ) per capita spend will go from $15 today to $50 by 2030 in India.

Business acumen

None of these are vanity projects; they are raking in the moolah, backed by large communities of loyal fans. In fact some of these ventures are backed by VCs and angel investors. Take for instance, Deepika Padukone’s “self-care” brand 82°E, which raised $7.5 million in seed funding in early 2022. DSG Consumer Partners and IDEO Ventures along with other angel investors participated in the round. And just last month, the brand — which has a presence in the body care and women skincare segment — expanded into the men’s skincare category.

But celebs aren’t restricting themselves to the beauty segment alone. They are monetising their popularity with business ventures in a wide array of segments. Shipa Shetty Kundra, who has several business interests, has invested in many ventures. Her early bet as an investor on Mamaearth-owner Honasa Consumer yielded her massive returns when it got listed at the bourses.

Her latest foray is in the kids-wear space with a brand called Zip Zap Zoop, launched in partnership with Ashmika Sadh. “Shilpa Shetty is a household name. Her expertise as a mother and a fashion icon combined with my manufacturing background led to this collaboration,” said Sadh. She added that the online brand now wants to focus on offline expansion besides setting up stores in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.

Last year, actor Sanjay Dutt forayed into the alcohol business with the launch of his scotch whiskey brand, The Glenwalk. This was launched on the back of his investment in Mumbai-based alcobev start-up Cartel & Bros. Jittin S Merani, Co-Founder, Cartel Bros, said, “In the competitive landscape of the Indian alcohol beverage industry, The Glenwalk has swiftly risen to prominence, thanks to a strategic partnership with Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt.”

Globally celebs have had a great track record of creating winning brands thanks to their OG influencer status. Notable examples are Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics and Ariana Grande’s REM Beauty. In fact, some of the celeb-owned or co-owned brands have been sold at hefty valuations. Actor Ryan Reynolds successfully sold a stake in Aviation American Gin and few other brands to Diageo at over $600 million valuation. It wouldn’t be a surprise if we see a celeb-owned brand emerging as a unicorn soon in India.

Sedam vrsta voća koje pomažu sa smanjenjem upale, prema dijetetičarki

VOĆE je prepuno esencijalnih nutrijenata poput vitamina, minerala, antioksidansa i vlakana koji mogu pomoći u borbi protiv upala. Hranjive tvari koje se nalaze u voću mogu ojačati imunološki sustav, regulirati krvni tlak te ponuditi antibakterijska i antivirusna svojstva.

Iako je upala prirodna reakcija imunološkog sustava, kronična upala može dovesti do raznih zdravstvenih problema. Međutim, konzumacija određenog voća s protuupalnim svojstvima može pomoći u smanjenju kronične upale i rizika od bolesti. Dijetetičarka Trista Best izdvojila je nekoliko vrsta voća koje su najbolje za smanjenje upale. 

Bobičasto voće

Bobičasto voće poput borovnica, jagoda, malina i kupina bogato je antioksidansima poput flavonoida koji mogu pomoći u smanjenju upale u tijelu. Dijetetičarka tvrdi da je bobičasto voće “prepuno antioksidansa i protuupalnih spojeva poput flavonoida te vitamina C koji pomažu u borbi protiv upala i oksidativnog stresa u tijelu”.

Dodaje da “uključivanje raznovrsnog bobičastog voća u prehranu može podržati cjelokupno zdravlje i smanjiti rizik od kroničnih bolesti”.

Ananas

Ananas je tropsko voće koje sadrži bromelain, enzim snažnih protuupalnih svojstava koji može pomoći u smanjenju oteklina i modrica. Predstavlja dobar izvor vitamina C koji podržava i utječe na jačanje imunološkog sustava. “Zbog sadržaja probavnih enzima, redovita konzumacija ananasa ili soka od ananasa može pomoći u ublažavanju upale, osobito kod stanja kao što je artritis, i poboljšati zdravlje probavnog sustava”, ističe Best.

Avokado

“Avokado je bogat mononezasićenim mastima i antioksidansima poput vitamina E, za koje se pokazalo da smanjuju upalu i podržavaju zdravlje srca”, ističe ona. Osim s upalama, dodavanje avokada u prehranu može pomoći i u regulaciji razine šećera u krvi te potaknuti osjećaj sitosti. 

Naranče

Naranče su omiljeno voće mnogih i izvrstan izvor vitamina C. Prema studiji iz 2015. godine, konzumiranje samo 500 miligrama vitamina C dva puta dnevno može pomoći u smanjenju upale i ojačati imunološki sustav, prenosi “Eat This, Not That”.

Best je također istaknula naranče kao voće koje pomaže s upalama. “Naranče obiluju vitaminom C, snažnim antioksidansom koji pomaže smanjiti upalu neutralizirajući slobodne radikale u tijelu. Isto tako, flavonoidi koji se nalaze u narančama imaju protuupalne učinke i mogu doprinijeti zdravlju kardiovaskularnog sustava i imunološkoj funkciji”, tvrdi dijetetičarka.

Jabuke

Jabuke su bogate vlaknima i antioksidansima koji poboljšavaju probavu i utječu na smanjenje upale. S time se slaže i Best koja ističe da su jabuke “dobar izvor kvercetina, flavonoida s protuupalnim i antioksidativnim svojstvima. Zbog visokog sadržaja vlakana i fitonutrijenata, konzumacija jabuka može pomoći u smanjenju upale, zaštiti od bolesti srca i podržati rad pluća”.

Papaja

Papaja je bogata vitaminom C, beta-karotenom i drugim antioksidansima, što je čini izvrsnim izborom za borbu protiv upale. Best ističe da “papaja sadrži i papain, enzim sličan bromelainu koji se nalazi u ananasu, a koji ima protuupalna svojstva i pomaže s probavom”.

Lubenica

Ovo ukusno ljetno voće sadrži snažan antioksidans, likopen. Prema studiji iz 2021., likopen može pomoći u smanjenju upale, poboljšati zdravlje mozga i zaštititi od određenih bolesti, prenosi Eat This, Not That. Kako objašnjava dijetetičarka, “likopen može smanjiti rizik od kroničnih bolesti. Voće je vrlo hidratantno i ima malo kalorija, što ga čini osvježavajućim i hranjivim izborom za borbu protiv upala”.

Potpuna pomrčina Sunca neobično djeluje na životinje, evo kako se ponašaju

POTPUNA pomrčina Sunca, poput one koja će se dogoditi 8. travnja i biti vidljiva iz SAD-a i Kanade, može imati neke iznenađujuće učinke na ponašanje životinja. Tijekom prethodnih pomrčina ljudi diljem svijeta primijetili su nadrealnu tišinu dok su ptice, insekti i ostale životinje prekidali svoje normalne aktivnosti, piše USA Today.

Istraživači su u zoološkim vrtovima primijetili razne neobične stvari: plamenci bi se okupili u krugu oko svoje mladunčadi kako bi ih zaštitili. Žirafe bi počele galopirati oko svoje nastambe. Jata ptica dovoljno velikih da se pojave na radaru iznenada bi se sklonila u krošnje drveća. Gorile bi se vratile u svoje jazbine očekujući posljednji obrok u danu. Drevne galapagoške kornjače počele bi se pariti.

Uz potpunu pomrčinu Sunca, koja će u travnju zahvatiti velik dio Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, znanstvenici se pripremaju za promatranje životinja u više zooloških vrtova, djelomično zato što su bili toliko iznenađeni onim što su otkrili tijekom potpune pomrčine Sunca u SAD-u 2017. godine.

“Mislio sam da će to biti beznačajno, nisam mislio da će životinje uopće biti pogođene”, rekao je Adam Hartstone-Rose, profesor komparativne anatomije na Državnom sveučilištu Sjeverne Karoline u Raleighu.

Tijekom pomrčine 2024. znanstvenici će promatrati ptice i zvijeri te pozvati i građane da ponude svoja promatranja. Kućni ljubimci također su uključeni u istraživanja iako veterinari kažu da najveći učinak na njihovo ponašanje neće imati iznenadni mrak, već ponašanje ljudi oko njih.

“Oni će više reagirati na naše reakcije, naše uzbuđenje i našu tjeskobu nego na bilo što od stvarne pomrčine”, rekla je dr. Rena Carlson, predsjednica Američkog udruženja veterinara.

Kako bi pripremili studiju, Hartstone-Rose i njegovi suradnici poslali su više od 40 ljudi da prate 12 nastamba životinja u zoološkom vrtu Riverbanks u Columbiji, u američkoj saveznoj državi Južnoj Karolini. Počeli su nekoliko dana prije pomrčine kako bi mogli procijeniti što se promijenilo u ponašanju životinja.

To je savršeno mjesto za eksperiment.

Prijašnja iskustva

U 14:41 21. kolovoza 2017. šire područje Columbije doživjelo je najdulje razdoblje pomrčine od bilo kojeg grada na istočnoj američkoj obali, nešto više od dvije minute i 30 sekundi potpunog mraka. Više od dvije trećine životinja pokazalo je promijenjeno ponašanje.

Gorile su zbunjeno tražile da ih se vrati u njihove nastambe i da im se posluži večernji obrok. Plamenci su se okupili oko svog podmlatka. Dio žirafa počeo je trčati oko svoje nastambe smirivši se tek kad se sunce vratilo. Medvjedi uopće nisu reagirali.

Galapagoške kornjače, koje mogu dosegnuti težinu od 450 kg i živjeti više od 150 godina, tijekom vrhunca pomrčine počele su se pariti.

Hartstone-Rose ove godine širi promatranje životinja diljem zemlje. Bit će provedene studije u više zooloških vrtova, što će omogućiti promatranje većeg broja životinja. On će biti smješten u zoološkom vrtu u Fort Worthu u Teksasu.

S obzirom na ono što su otkrili kod kornjača, znatiželjan je vidjeti što će učiniti patuljaste čimpanze: “Oni su vrlo seksualne životinje. Kada su pod stresom, njihova reakcija je parenje. Jako sam znatiželjan da vidim hoće li reagirati parenjem.”

Gotovo svatko tko je bio vani tijekom pomrčine primjećuje dvije stvari – iznenadno utišavanje ptica i insekata. Životinje jednostavno ne znaju kako bi se ponašale jer njihova biologija nije prilagođena za pomrčine, rekao je Andrew Farnsworth, znanstvenik u Ornitološkom laboratoriju Sveučilišta Cornell koji je proučavao ponašanje ptica tijekom pomrčina. “Pomrčine nisu uobičajene, ali nisu ni tako rijetke i mi ljudi ih možemo planirati. Ali za kratkoživuće životinje koje ne prate astronomiju pomoću matematike to je prilično neočekivani događaj”, dodao je.

Godine 2017. Farnsworth i skupina istraživača koristili su radar kako bi vidjeli što ptice rade tijekom pomrčine, projekt koji planiraju proširiti tijekom ovogodišnje pomrčine u travnju.

Pomoću 143 meteorološke radarske postaje promatrali su ponašanje nekoliko vrsta ptica. Ptice koje lete tijekom dana, grabljivice kao što su supovi i crvenorepi jastrebovi, obično su odlazile u sklonište. One ovise o toplini sunčeve energije da bi se uzdigle i kad padne mrak spuštaju se prema tlu jer očekuju da će termika nestati.

Ptice koje tijekom leta traže kukce, poput lastavica, također se spuštaju. Tragaju za kukcima dok lete, ali kada padne noć, njihov izvor hrane nestaje i ne mogu dobro vidjeti.

Kad su Farnsworth i njegovi suradnici 2017. gledali radarske slike, razmjeri ponašanja ptica bili su iznenađujući. Njihova studija pokazuje da su se ogromna jata ptica spustila u tako velikom broju da se to jasno vidjelo na radarima.

Ove godine istraživači planiraju proširiti broj postaja koje prate pomrčinu i očekuju da će vidjeti ponašanje u puno većem dijelu zemlje, od Teksasa do Mainea.

Google pooštrava sigurnosna pravila za Gmail. Evo o čemu je riječ

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.

GMAIL JE nedavno napunio 20 godina, a danas je jedan od najpopularnijih email servisa. Kako bi obilježili ovu prigodu, Google je krenuo s provođenjem ranije najavljenih sigurnosnih pravila za Gmail kako bi poboljšali korisničko iskustvo. Evo o kakvim je promjenama riječ.

Promjene će rasteretiti pretinac neželjene pošte

Gmail će provoditi nekoliko novih pravila koja ćete morati slijediti želite li nastaviti koristiti Gmail. Pravila se primarno tiču masovnog slanja emailova, a dizajnirana su kako bi suzbila količinu neželjene pošte. Svi koji masovno šalju poruke moraju potvrditi svoj email koristeći “dobro utvrđene najbolje prakse”, piše Tom’s Guide.

Neil Kumaran iz Google ističe kako će nove provjere “zatvoriti rupe koje su napadači iskorištavali kako bi ugrožavali korisnike emaila”. Novo je pravilo aktualno od jučer. Iako uvijek postoji način da se provjere zaobiđu, Google očekuje da će ova postroženja rasteretiti poštanske pretince korisnika.

Odjava s mailing lista bit će jednostavnija

Još jedna novost kreće 1. lipnja. Google će odjavu s mailing lista učiniti jednostavnijom, te više neće biti potrebno odabrati nekoliko različitih opcija kako biste se uklonili s nečijeg popisa za slanje pošte.

Google također radi na poboljšanju enkripcije emailova kad se šalju putem različitih pružatelja usluga. Uz pomoć Transport Layer Security (TLS), sadržaj poruke ostat će enkriptiran bez obzira na to kojeg pružatelja email usluga koristi primatelj.

Provjera u dva koraka bit će zadana za korisnike Gmaila, koji su masovno obaviješteni o njoj. Kako će biti potrebne dodatne provjere kako biste se ulogirali u email, phishing napadi i neovlašteni pristupi bit će teži za izvesti, te bi ih trebalo biti manje.

Nifty, Sensex marginally lower; small-caps and midcaps make gains

The NSE Nifty was down by 0.05 per cent or 12.20 points to 22,449.80, while the BSE Sensex was at 73,958.3, down by 0.08 per cent or 56.25 points.

A total of 3,224 stocks were actively traded, 2,374 advanced, while 737 declined and 113 stocks remained unchanged, where 82 stocks hit a 52-week high and 14 stocks hit a 52- week low at 9.30 am on Tuesday.

Major gainers on the NSE at 9.30 am include, BPCL (1.92%), Bajaj Auto (1.91%), Adani Ports (1.87%), IndusInd Bank (1.25%), and Coal India (1.12%).

Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said, “A distinct feature of a bull market is its ability to set new highs. This was evident yesterday when the Nifty set a new intraday high. In this bullish scenario characterised by strong momentum and supported by a sustained gush of capital flows into the market, every dip will be bought, imparting resilience to the market.

Since the global construct is slightly negative as evidenced by the rising dollar and rising US bond yields (the 10-year is at 4.3 per cent), the FPIs may be tempted to sell. But FPI selling does not have a major impact on the market since DIIs, HNIs and retail investors are calling the shots now.

Even while riding the bull, investors should know that liquidity is overwhelming fundamentals in many pockets of the broader market. This calls for caution.”

Major losers include, ICICI Bank (-0.89%), Wipro (-0.87%), TCS (-0.87%), Cipla (-0.81%), Bajaj Finance (-0.76%)

The BSE Smallcap was up by 0.79 per cent, and the Midcap was up by 0.43 per cent, indicating gains.

Rebel Wilson priznala da je koristila kontroverzni lijek za dijabetes da smršavi

REBEL Wilson konačno je priznala da je koristila Ozempic kako bi skinula 40 kilograma. Australska glumica 2020. godinu nazvala je svojom godinom zdravlja i krenula na put mršavljenja. Hvalila se kako je vježbanjem i promjenom prehrane počela skidati kilograme.

“Netko poput mene, tko ima beskrajan apetit za slatkišima, može imati koristi od tog lijeka”, rekla je za The Sunday Times.

Inače, Ozempic je primarno namijenjen osobama s dijabetesom, no postiže rezultate i kod ostalih koji žele smršavjeti. Zbog toga je na glasu kao “lijek za mršavljenje”.

“Doslovno nitko osim moje mame nije htio da smršavim. Ljudi su mislili da uspješno glumim smiješne bucmaste likove i željeli su da nastavim istim putem”, dodala je.

Wilson se odlučila na gubitak kilograma na nagovor liječnika koji ju je 2019. upozorio da zbog viška kilograma ne može ostati u drugom stanju. 2022. dobila je kćer uz pomoć surogat-majke. Tvrdila je da je iz jelovnika izbacila namirnice bogate ugljikohidratima i mastima te je ujedno povećala unos proteina.

Nedavno je na Instagramu objavila da je “zbog naporne godine dobila 14 kilograma”. Za The Sunday Times dodala je da više ne koristi injekcije semaglutida.

Priča o kujici Ruži iz BiH rastužila ljude: “To je bio vrhunac ljudske zlobe”

INTERNETOM se proširila priča o kujici imena Ruža iz Prijedora u Bosni i Hercegovini koja je rastužila mnoge.

Na Facebook stranici azila Spas volonteri su nedavno napisali da je netko dovezao stari zamrzivač u blizinu njihovog prihvatilišta i u njega stavio kujicu koja se za nekoliko dana trebala okotiti. Tako su je ostavili i otišli.

“Pa dokle više? Ima li kraja ljudskoj zlobi i bezobrazluku? Ima li lošijeg stvora Božjeg od čovjeka? Do sada su nam izbacivali kartonske kutije, vreće, džakove i škafove pune štenaca, pse vezivali za drveće, a ovo je bio vrhunac ljudske zlobe i surovosti!” napisali su na Facebooku.

“Netko tko ne zaslužuje da se nazove čovjekom je dovezao stari zamrzivač, u njega stavio kuju par dana pred okotom, ostavio i otišao! Možete li zamisliti kao je bilo nedužnoj kujici u toj metalnoj mračnoj kutiji, bez imalo zraka i svjetlosti, dok čuje lavež šest stotina pasa u neposrednoj blizini? U najdelikatnijem stanju, umjesto da je na sigurnom i sigurno se sprema da na svijet donese svoje bebice, nju taj stvor izlaže neviđenoj torturi!

I kako ta nesretna kuja da odgoji štence i da oni prežive bačeni u prihvatilište za 600 pasa, koje je prenapučeno, u kojem nema mjesta da se ona izolira i da bebice sigurno odrastaju? I što sad?” dodali su.

Priča dobila sretan kraj

Objava je izazvala puno komentara ljudi iz regije. “Ovo više nije humano”, “Kakav čovjek moraš biti da ovo napraviš”, “Nikad kraja zlu”, “Ljudi se iživljavaju nad nedužnim životinjama”, neki su od komentara.

Priča je, srećom, imala sretan kraj. Volonteri su Ružu sklonili na sigurno i potom je na svijet donijela pet bijelih beba. Potom je u isti azil stigao još jedan crni psić kojeg je Ruža prigrlila.

iPhone 16 Pro mogao bi vratiti Appleovu najbolju boju

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.

SVAKE godine Apple nas iznenađuje inovacijama u svojim iPhone modelima – ažurirani procesor, kamere, dizajn i značajke. No, jedna stvar uvijek privlači posebnu pažnju, izbor novih boja. Ovogodišnja najavljena boja možda će posebno zračiti retro štihom.

Prema izvještaju koji je procurio s Weibo platforme, ShrimpApplePro, koji je već pokazao preciznost u predviđanju boja iPhonea, najavio je detalje o najnovijoj završnoj obradi koja dolazi na iPhoneu 16 Pro. Prema tim informacijama, Apple će predstaviti ružičastu boju koja nas vraća u dane iPhonea 7.

Unatoč velikoj popularnosti, više nisu predstavljeni novi modeli u toj boji

Ružičasto zlato je nekad bilo rezervirano za ekskluzivne Apple Watch modele, no Apple je donio ovu boju i na iPhone 6S, a kasnije i na modele iPhone SE i iPhone 7. Brzo je postala jedna od najtraženijih boja u Appleovoj ponudi, no unatoč popularnosti, više nisu predstavljeni novi modeli u toj boji

I dok se o novim bojama šuška, postoje i detalji o promjenama u postojećim bojama. Blue Titanium na iPhoneu 15 Pro će biti zamijenjen novom bojom, dok će Natural Titanium doživjeti promjenu u sivoj nijansi. Black Titanium će se vjerojatno približiti Space Black nijansi koju smo vidjeli na iPhoneu 14 Pro, što bi moglo odgovarati M3 Pro i Max MacBooku Pro, piše Macworld.

Čini se da Apple priprema iznenađenja ne samo u hardverskim inovacijama već i u estetskom aspektu. Hoće li nova ružičasta boja postati sljedeći hit među ljubiteljima iPhonea, tek ćemo vidjeti.

Indices start new fiscal on winning note, hit fresh highs

Indian equities started the new financial year on a strong note, hitting fresh highs, amid positive global cues.

The Sensex ended with a gain of 363 points, or 0.49 per cent, at 74,014. The Nifty rose to 22,462, up 0.6 per cent.

The broader markets outperformed with Nifty Midcap100 and Nifty Smallcap100 rallying 1.7 per cent and 3.3 per cent, respectively. Except auto and FMCG, all the sectors ended with gains, with realty, media and metals surging over 4 per cent each.

Metal stocks surged after economic data from China indicated that the manufacturing sector is seeing a rebound, which may lead to a rise in demand for metals. India’s housing demand witnessed robust growth in the first quarter of this year with unsold inventory falling to 7 per cent, leading to a rally in realty stocks. Auto stocks saw subdued interest post mixed set of monthly sales numbers.

JSW Steel was the top Nifty stock with gains of over 5 per cent, followed by Tata Steel (4.7 per cent), Divis Labs (3.6 per cent) and Shriram Finance (3.1 per cent). Eicher Motors and Titan Company were the top losers, down 1.8 per cent and 1.7 per cent, respectively.

FPIs sold shares worth ₹522 crore on Monday, while DIIs bought shares worth ₹1,208 crore.

“Global sentiments got a boost led by lower than expected US PCE data and robust US GDP numbers which strengthened the hopes of rate cut. The market is expected to continue its positive momentum but the journey could be volatile on the back of elections and Q4 earnings this month,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head-Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

All eyes on Fed, RBI

Going ahead, the RBI monetary policy, India PMI data, and US non-farm payroll data will set the direction of the market. While the policy, due this Friday, is expected to maintain a status quo, the central bank’s commentary would be keenly watched.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said the momentum may continue in the near term, supported by a global rally in expectation of a Fed rate cut in June and a healthy domestic earnings growth forecast in Q4FY24.

Also read: Broker’s call: Hindware Home (Outperform)

Global equities were mostly higher Monday as US inflation figures did little to modify views that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this year. Shanghai Composite was the top gainer among Asian indices with gains of 1.2 per cent. European indices were trading marginally in the green.

“Though Nifty is now placed at the crucial hurdle of around 22,500 levels, the overall chart pattern remains positive and we are unlikely to see any sharp decline from here. The market is now in an attempt of breaking above the crucial overhead resistance of 22,500-22,550 levels. Any consolidation or dip could be a buying opportunity,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.

YKONE buys Barcode – The Hindu BusinessLine

International influencer marketing agency YKONE has announced it is acquiring 70 per cent stake in Indian content and influencer marketing agency Barcode. For the Paris headquartered YKONE, founded in 2008 which has a turnover of close to $100 million, the acquisition is strategic, especially as it has a big play in luxury segment. Given that India’s luxury market is expected to be one of the fastest-growing markets in the world and could reach $200 billion, YKONE sees opportunity in the country. Olivier Billon, Founder and CEO of YKONE, stated: “The acquisition of Barcode Agency is a significant step for YKONE and its international expansion. YKONE already had a presence in India with an office in Bangalore since 2017. With the addition of Barcode’s operations in India, YKONE’s reach in the country and the broader Asia-Pacific region expands even further.”

Tri simptoma srčanih bolesti koji se mogu javiti u stopalima

DILJEM svijeta, kardiovaskularne bolesti vodeći su uzrok smrti. One su odgovorne za 18 milijuna smrtnih slučajeva godišnje. To uključuje stanja koja utječu na srce i krvožilni sustav, kao što su moždani udar, koronarna bolest srca i zatajenje srca.

Mnogi od nas svjesni su najčešćih simptoma srčanih bolesti, kao što je bol u prsima. Međutim, postoje i drugi, manje poznati i manje očiti simptomi. U nekim slučajevima, ti simptomi mogu se pojaviti na stopalima.

Prema Američkoj akademiji za dermatologiju (AAD), postoje tri znaka kardiovaskularnih problema koje možemo uočiti na stopalima i prstima.

Oticanje stopala

Otečena stopala jedan su od simptoma bolesti srca. U medicini, poznat kao edem, ovo stanje može biti pokazatelj da srce ne radi kako treba.

“Mnoge bolesti srca uzrokuju nakupljanje tekućine u stopalima i potkoljenicama. Kako se tekućina nakuplja, možete vidjeti otekline koje se mogu proširiti sve do natkoljenica i prepona. Otekline ujutro mogu biti manje i pogoršati se kasnije tijekom dana”, pojašnjava AAD.

Plavi nožni prsti

Ovaj simptom može biti znak začepljenja krvnih žila.

“Kada vam je jako hladno, vaša koža može postati plava ili ljubičasta. Ako je dio kože plav ili ljubičast kada vam je toplo, to može biti znak da vaša krv ne dobiva dovoljno kisika”, napominje AAD.

Bez liječenja nedostatak kisika može uzrokovati odumiranje kože i tkiva. Medicinski izraz za ovu pojavu je cijanoza.

Bolne kvržice na nožnim prstima

Bolne kvržice na prstima nogu nazivaju se Oslerovi čvorovi.

“Ako imate infekciju srca poznatu kao infektivni endokarditis, bolne kvržice mogu se razviti na prstima ruku, nogu ili na oba dijela tijela. U većini slučajeva nestaju same od sebe, ali nekim pacijentima bit će potrebno liječenje. Budući da ovu infekciju uzrokuju bakterije, može se liječiti antibioticima, ali ponekad je potrebna operacija”, poručuje AAD.

H&M će više ulagati u fizičke trgovine. Evo zašto

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.

PRIJE četiri godine H&M Grupa pojačala je ulaganje u e-trgovinu. Zbog toga je 2020. zatvoreno oko 170 trgovina, a u 2021. još 250. U siječnju ove godine tadašnja izvršna direktorica tvrtke Helena Helmersson je neočekivano podnijela ostavku, a zamijenio ju je bivši glavni direktor brenda Daniel Ervér. Helmersson je u tvrtki tad bila 26 godina, od čega je direktorica bila četiri godine. Upravo one četiri godine koje je H&M davao prednost e-trgovini.

“Želimo pravu trgovinu na pravom mjestu”

“Fizičke trgovine važne su i u 2024. Ubrzavamo tempo investicija u postojeće trgovine kako bismo unaprijedili iskustvo trgovine”, izjavila je Helmersson. “Želimo imati pravu trgovinu na pravom mjestu. Naše trgovine nalaze se na odličnim lokacijama i važne su jer u njima svakodnevno susrećemo svoje kupce.”

Osim toga, trgovine služe kao centri za dostavu, preuzimanje i povrat robe. Ovisno o zemlji i trgovini, dostupne su i usluge popravka odjeće. Trgovine također promiču održivost. Ne samo da je staru odjeću moguće zamijeniti za popust nego i 91% H&M trgovina ima LED osvjetljenje, piše Retail Dive.

H&M zabilježio pad prihoda u prvom kvartalu

Većinu novih trgovina H&M će otvoriti na tržištima u razvoju, a i dalje će zatvarati trgovine na tržištima na kojima je brend dobro etabliran. Svoju prvu trgovinu u Brazilu namjerava otvoriti 2025. H&M ima 3872 trgovine na 77 tržišta, a online je prisutan na 60 tržišta. 

U 2020. godini tvrtka je lansirala brend Singular Society koji funkcionira po principu članstva, a ima trgovinu u Stockholmu. Više od 170 trgovina H&M Grupe u Rusiji je trajno zatvoreno. Prije dvije godine tvrtka je privremeno zatvorila svoje trgovine u Ukrajini, no većina ih je ponovno otvorena.

Ovog tjedna H&M Grupa također je izvijestila da su prihodi u prvom kvartalu pali za 2.2%, na 53.7 milijardi švedskih kruna (oko 4.6 milijardi eura). Bruto dobit porasla je za 7%, dosegnuvši bruto maržu od 51.5%.

‘Game of Thrones’ co-creator DB Weiss

LOS ANGELES: “Game of Thrones” was popular for the sudden deaths of several fan-favourite characters and D B Weiss says he and co-creator David Benioff were thrilled when they got a chance to kill off Joffrey Baratheon and Ramsay Bolton, two of the most hated villains on the series.

During a new episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the showrunners were asked to name their favourite character deaths.

“With ‘Thrones’, there was so much killing of good guys and we finally got to really kill both Joffrey in season four and Ramsay Bolton in season six. It was fun to go back to the old-fashioned joys of just killing off a really bad guy. It felt like it was balancing the scales a little,” Weiss said.

Joffrey, played by Jack Gleeson, died after drinking poisoned wine, at the hands of Lady Olenna Tyrell and Lord Petyr Baelish.

On the other hand, when Jon Snow (Kit Harington) beats him in a one-on-one fight, Ramsay — essayed by Iwan Rheon — is taken prisoner and eaten by his hungry hounds as Sophie Turner’s Sansa watches.

Benioff said he was particularly happy when Turner nailed the shot where she had to react to Ramsay as he was being devoured by the canines.

“For me, at the end of Battle of Bastards, when Sophie sticks the hounds on the Bastard (Ramsay), she doesn’t walk away. You don’t really see the death. You see some of it in the background, but you don’t really see the death. But what you do see is Sophie or Sansa’s smile,” he recalled.

Benioff said it was a one-shot scene and had to film it seven-eight times until Turner did it perfectly.

“It was just that feeling of that’s so epic. Sophie was so good. When she got that shot, I felt like I can now die happy,” he added.

Weiss and Benioff are currently promoting their new Netflix series, “3 Body Problem”, for which they have collaborated with Alexander Woo.

On the Campaign Trail – The Hindu BusinessLine

It’s IPL season and the volume of ads has gone up. It also means CRED is back with its signature disruptive ads. It’s also poll season and there is fair buzz around political ads.

Different strokes

CRED has served up an ace of an ad this cricket season getting Leander Paes to show off his forehand, his backhand and solid serve in a hilarious setting. His opponents — pesky mosquitoes. The champion acted so well that none other than tennis legend Andre Agassi took to social media to praise it. A great coup for the brand pushing its new UPI features. It also served a second round of wit and whimsy with Ila Arun, who has to choose to become the side-eyed soundtrack to high-society gossip or upgrade the way she pays.

A sweet homage

Cadbury Dairy Milk breaks through the cricket clutter by paying sweet homage to the unsung heroes behind the success of cricket stars. Its #ThankYouFirstCoach campaign shines a spotlight on the mentors of Surya Kumar of Mumbai Indians and KL Rahul of Lucknow SuperGiants, who played pivotal roles in shaping their careers. Created by Ogilvy, the films are highly emotive and the brand is following through offline by extending an exclusive invitation to the first coaches of every IPL player to join them in the family box during matches.

Tech for good

Dell’s new ‘Back to School and College’ campaign, highlights how the PC can be a transformative tool and help social change. The two brand films — “Lamps” and “Mountains” — tell the stories of three students who come up with novel solutions to pressing subjects. The first film shows how a young boy along with his friends helps children in rural communities get access to light. Using Dell’s G15 laptop, the boy creates a design for handmade solar lamps and presents the lamps to the children. The second film highlights a young girl who understands the power of teamwork to address the issue of piling up waste in the mountains. The films have been conceptualised and developed by VML.

Finding the groom

BJP has got first off the block when it comes to election campaign ads. Its Dulha Kaun Hai ad lampooning the INDIA alliance has gone viral. The video features lookalikes of key members of the opposition alliance and while it pokes fun, there is an entertainment quotient too in the film. It appears to be a strategy to appeal to the young voters. The BJP had chosen McCann World Group and Scarecrow M&C Saatchi as its creative agencies but reports suggest this film has been made by a different independent agency.

Nemojte zanemariti ova četiri znaka, mogla bi značiti da gubite sluh

IAKO često mislim da je gubitak sluha nešto što se događa samo starijima, to zapravo nije slučaj. Prema američkom Nacionalnom institutu za gluhoću i poremećaje sluha, jedna od osam osoba starijih od 12 godina pati od gubitka sluha na oba uha, a oko 28.8 milijuna odraslih Amerikanaca treba slušna pomagala.

Audiolozi su za BuzzFeed otkrili koji su glavni znakovi da je vrijeme za provjeru sluha.

Teško vam je sudjelovati u razgovorima

Ako stalno govorite “što?” tijekom razgovora, možda je vrijeme za provjeru sluha.

“Naprezanje sluha kada razgovarate s drugima veliki je problem. To može uključivati otežano slušanje zbog pozadinske buke i redovito traženje od ljudi da ponove ono što su rekli”, izjavio je audiolog Terry Zwolan.

Morate pojačati zvuk na TV-u

Ako vam drugi često govore da stišate televizor, to je zabrinjavajuće.

“Ako vam sluh slabi, možda ćete pojačavati glasnoću na televiziji ili radiju na razinu koja je glasnija od one koju drugi preferiraju”, dodao je Zwolan.

Zvoni vam u ušima

Iako zujanje u ušima (ili tinitus) nije uvijek znak gubitka sluha, svakako može biti.

“Neki ljudi mogu osjetiti upornu zvonjavu, zujanje, bol ili pritisak u jednom ili oba uha. Također, može biti teško čuti s jedne strane, teško razlučiti odakle zvukovi dolaze ili vam vlastiti glas može zvučati drugačije”, napomenuo je Zwolan.

Audiologinja Katie Kobel napominje da su simptomi tinitusa dobar razlog za ispitivanje sluha, osobito ako ih osjećate dulje vrijeme.

Teško čujete zvukove iz prirode

Ako odjednom ne čujete zvukove iz prirode, poput cvrkuta ptica ili kiše, to može biti znak za uzbunu.

“Neki ljudi koji gube sluh imaju problema sa svakodnevnim zvukovima, poput pokazivača smjera, vrenja vode ili zvona na ulaznim vratima”, zaključila je audiologinja Amy Bishop.

Ovo su najljepše modne kombinacije sa zagrebačke špice. Sve imaju isti detalj

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.

OVU su subotu mnogi Zagrepčani iskoristili lijepo vrijeme za izlazak u centar grada, uživajući u kavi, ali i, izgleda, u kupnji cvijeća. Mnoge Zagrepčanke prošetale su u proljetnim kombinacijama, a gotovo sve su imale najljepši “modni” dodatak – buket.

Neutralna kombinacija i ružičasti tulipani

Prva mlada djevojka odlučila se za neutralnu modnu kombinaciju koja se sastojala od topa i tajica bež nijanse te sakoa bijele boje. Tu su i mini torbica te tenisice. Ova kombinacija je prilično ležerna i mladenačka. Njezin izbor cvijeća bio je buket nježno ružičastih tulipana.

Ružičasti sako i narančasti tulipani

Druga djevojka odlučila je unijeti boju u svoju modnu kombinaciju, i to ružičastu. Tako je kombinirala sako u toj nijansi sa svijetloplavim trapericama i bijelim tenisicama čije su vezice bile u boji. I ona je u rukama nosila tulipane, ali narančaste boje.

Dolčevita, traperice i košarica s cvijećem

Siva dolčevita i traperice nepogrešiv su odabir. Osim toga, kaubojske čizme odličan su odabir obuće koja je udobna za hodanje, ali i estetski privlačna. Košarica s cvijećem je neodoljiva i vjerujemo da prekrasno miriše.

Šilterice, sakoi i šareni buketi 

Dvije prijateljice također su u rukama imale bukete proljetnog cvijeća. Osim toga, njihove kombinacije dijele i nekoliko drugih sličnih detalja – šilterice i sakoe. Pored toga, jedna djevojka odlučila se za sportsku varijantu s tajicama i tenisicama, dok je druga odabrala nešto sređeniju varijantu te je kombinirala traper suknju s čizmama.

‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ star Chance Perdomo dies in accident

We can’t quite wrap our heads around this.

For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person.

Even writing about him in the past tense doesn’t make sense.We are so sorry for Chance’s family, and we are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague.

Hug your loved ones tonight,” the producers of the series shared in a statement.

F&O Strategy: Bull Call Spread on HDFC Bank

The stock of HDFC Bank (₹1,447.90) has been consolidating in recent weeks since a sharp fall in November. The stock finds immediate support at ₹1,400 and ₹1,304. A fall below the latter will change the outlook negative.

On the other hand, it finds immediate resistance at ₹1,465 and ₹1,552. A close above ₹1,600 would change the outlook positive and lift the stock to new highs.

F&O cues: The HDFC Bank April contracts witnessed a steady accumulation of open positions from about 3.6 crore shares to 19.25 crore shares. The counter witnessed a rollover of 95 per cent to April series, a healthy figure.

The HDFC Bank April futures, at ₹1,464.10, against the spot price of ₹1,447.90, indicates long rollovers. Option trading (April) signals that the stock could move in the ₹1,300-1,600 range.

Strategy: Consider a bull-call spread on HDFC Bank. This can be initiated by selling 1,480-call and simultaneously buying 1,460-call. These options closed with a premium of ₹22.40 and ₹32.30 respectively. This strategy would cost ₹9.90 per contract (or ₹5,445 as market lot is 550 shares), which would be the maximum loss. This will happen if the stock rules below ₹1,460.

On the other hand, a profit of ₹5,555 is possible if HDFC Bank rises sharply and moves above ₹1,480. We advise traders to hold the position at least three weeks if the profit is not achieved earlier.

Follow-up: As Maruti Suzuki shares rose sharply last week, we advise traders to book profit in the 12,500-April call.

Note: The recommendations are based on technical analysis and F&O positions. There is a risk of loss in trading

WFB Baird, stitching a growth story for linen

Bought a Ralph Lauren linen shirt? Or one from Tommy Hilfiger? Chances are the linen would have been made in Kerala by an Irish linen company WFB Baird and Co.

The Irish company that dates back to 1912 is one of the world’s oldest linen makers in the world and has been manufacturing in India since 2005, as an export oriented unit (EoU). Its three factories, spread across Kochi and Erode, supply to global brands and retailers. But now the largely B2B player is upping its domestic focus with its own brand Burgoyne.

William James Burgoyne Baird, the fourth generation scion of the founder of the premium Irish linen brand and current chairman was recently in Kochi. He talked about the growing fascination for white linen shirts in the Indian market and how it spelt opportunity for manufacturers.

“We came to India in 2005 only to set up a 100 per cent EoU. Seeing India as a huge market for linen, we entered the domestic market around 10 years back and have been growing. We are now in the process of introducing an affordable fabric blended with linen and plan to sell the brand through e-commerce route. To increase the product visibility, the company will soon have its physical presence in all the metro cities,” said Baird.

Suchitra Menon, Director and CEO of the company said that Burgoyne is now present in at least 3,000 stores across the country. In the B2B business, the company supplies linen fabric globally to premium retailers like Ralph Lauren, Polo, Banana Republic, Levis, Uniqlo, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Marks & Spencer.

In India, it supplies to players like Madura, Arvind Brands, Blackberry, Benetton, Pepe, Reliance, Myntra and Rare Rabbit.

But why did the Irish brand choose India as a manufacturing location? It was late Captain Krishnan Nair of the Leela Group who was instrumental in bringing the company to God’s Own Country as his textile business had an arrangement with WFB Baird and Co, and helped set up its first plant in Cochin Special Economic Zone. “When we started off, the business was $10 million that too purely B2B. Later we ventured into domestic business with our own brand Burgoyne, and the group revenue is expected to touch $100 million by the end of the current fiscal,” reveals Baird.

He adds, “We are also looking at widening our customer base into new geographies including Australia, South America and the Far East as part of global expansion.”

The global linen market size is estimated to be worth $806.7 million in 2022 and forecast to reach $1525.3 million by 2028 according to industry reports. China is the leader in linen manufacturing. While Europe is traditionally the big linen consumption market, India is the fastest growing. Burgoyne is in the right place — if it can thread its way well.
