India’s OTT market, sized at $2.5 billion (this includes YouTube), went through a major disruption in 2023, as Jio Cinema offered the most premium content—Indian Premier League—free to users. This negatively impacted subscription revenue growth for peers and the industry at large and led to Disney Plus offering cricket World Cup free for mobile customers.
The OTT market in India is currently battling the dilemma between growth and profitability in a price-sensitive market. 2023 was a year of disruption for cricket content, as Jio Cinema used it to build a large customer base for itself. But expect some serious changes in the OTT landscape in 2024 as platforms now look to chase profitability.
Since the advent of affordable 4G service and video OTT in India in 2017, none of the video streaming platforms have been able to reach break-even point, which could lead to some structural changes in this market.
Economics
Content cost correction is the need of the hour, as most big OTT platforms are making hefty losses. According to our assessment, the Indian OTT industry’s revenue (excluding YouTube) is $1.3 billion. However, the content cost alone comes around $1.5-2 billion, which is approximately 65-70 per cent of the OTT platforms’ cost base (other costs include marketing, manpower and technology). Thus, one can expect some rationalisation in this area as platforms become selective in their approach towards new shows. There will be a sharp decline in experimentation within web series and a more selective approach when it comes to purchasing digital rights of films in 2024, which will help lower losses.
Consolidation is another big change for the OTT industry, with the Zee/Sony merger and potential talks of RIL/Disney coming together. A merger between these entities will provide much needed respite as these four platforms (Jio Cinema, Sony Liv, Hotstar and Zee5) together command a market share of more than 40 per cent in video advertising (including YouTube). This may shift the bargaining power aggressively in favour of platforms and arrest content costs across various types of content (movies, web series etc).
Pricing
A freemium pricing model is here to stay for video OTT platforms in India, as we don’t foresee the scale up of pure play video advertising models given that the digital advertising market is fragmented with presence of search, social and e-commerce giants.
Subscription revenue is a sticky revenue stream which will provide a predictable cash flow for OTT platforms and take care of their content budgets. Given the wide variety of audience in India across multiple languages, a freemium model with a mix of free and pay based content augurs well over the long term. OTT platforms may not be able raise prices extensively just as yet, and hence will find innovative means like 1) curbs on password sharing, 2) ad-supported content within pay-based video services, to drive better monetisation.
Censorship
Regulation is an overhang in a diverse market like India. However, don’t expect blanket censorship as that will stall the growth of digital consumption. Self regulation will continue to exist going ahead too; however, there could be a potential set up wherein content on OTT is constantly monitored and platforms making content hurting religious or minority sentiments may be penalised with hefty fines.
Viewership tracking
Video OTT has the best advantage of tracking consumption and viewership trends across markets. Netflix recently started sharing data, providing details of time spent on various shows globally.
Transparency from the OTT platforms will increase, as they start sharing selective data around viewership trends. This could benefit 1) advertisers for better ROI and 2) content creators to predict what kind of content actually does well.
All in all, things are poised well for the Indian OTT market, which seems set for strong growth coupled with profitability.

PREGLEDAVANJE društvenih mreža na privatnom telefonu, rezerviranje letova, čak i slanje brzog odgovora s palcem gore u aplikaciji za slanje poruka – to je sve obično nepovezano s poslom koji biste trebali raditi. Neke tvrtke na privatne pametne telefone gledaju kao na nešto što ometa posao, čak tjeraju radnike da svoje uređaje ostave u ormariću prije ulaska u ured ili trgovinu.
Ali takve vrste zabrana mogle bi biti kontraproduktivne, prema australskim i irskim znanstvenicima koji kažu da korištenje privatnih telefona na poslu ne utječe na produktivnost i čak može smanjiti stres.
Tim Sveučilišta Galway i Sveučilišta Melbourne proveo je godinu dana prateći 40 zaposlenika kojima je bilo dopušteno koristiti privatne telefone u europskoj podružnici neimenovane globalne farmaceutske tvrtke. Tim je to usporedio s drugom skupinom ispitanika koji nisu smjeli koristiti svoje telefone dok su bili na poslu.
Otkrili su da oni koji koriste privatne telefone, nisu imali ništa lošije radne rezultate od kolega koji ih nisu koristili, te da se problemi koji proizlaze iz preklapanja posla i privatnog života smanjuju kad se ukine zabrana korištenja privatnih pametnih telefona na radnom mjestu u svrhe nevezane uz posao.

Radnici obuhvaćeni istraživanjem ranije su se žalili na “restriktivan pristup” tvrtke prema korištenju osobnih telefona, koji datira iz 1990-ih, rekavši da se osjećaju “isključeno”. Podržali su ih neki članovi menadžerskog tima koji su ocijenili ograničenja kao “tehnofobna” te u neskladu s pravilima u drugim podružnicama iste tvrtke.
“Menadžeri moraju shvatiti neželjene posljedice prisilne zabrane privatnih pametnih telefona”, rekao je Eoin Whelan sa Sveučilišta Galway.
“Sprečavanje upotrebe telefona na radnom mjestu može povećati sukob između poslovnog i privatnog života, što zauzvrat ima značajne implikacije na radni učinak, zadovoljstvo poslom, izostanak s posla, namjere promjene, kao i opću dobrobit”, dodao je Whelan.

India are all set to get one final platform for their preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 as they are all set to face Afghanistan in the three-match T20I series starting from January 11. India are currently settling their combinations ahead of the mega event in June. With Hardik Pandya, who has led Indian T20I team for the last one year since the T20 World Cup 2022 injured, Rohit Sharma has been appointed the captain for the series. Virat Kohli has received a recall in the squad too alongside the performing young cricketers like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh. Although Virat Kohli has made himself unavailable for the 1st T20I. Fans eager to know the entire information on India’s probable XI in the 1st T20I against Afghanistan at Mohali, will get entire information here.

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

In Asian markets, Tokyo traded in the green while Seoul, Shanghai and Hong Kong were quoting lower.
The US markets ended mostly lower on Tuesday.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹990.90 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.22 per cent to $77.76 a barrel.
The BSE benchmark ended marginally higher by 30.99 points or 0.04 per cent at 71,386.21 on Tuesday. The Nifty ended 31.85 points or 0.15 per cent up at 21,544.85.
Welcome to 2024! This is the time when marketers are looking for new trends and insights that can power their brands during the new year. Several consulting and research firms have duly produced reports on the big consumer trends for the year ahead. However, there is a boring sameness to many of these reports. So, even while we scan these, where can we turn to for fresh consumer insights?
Here are some interesting places:
New Year’s resolutions
So many people make resolutions for the New Year. These resolutions also signal some of their most important needs for the year. For 2024, many surveys have thrown up “improve fitness” as a top resolution for over 40 per cent of all affluent and middle class consumers. This immediately throws us key opportunities for several diverse categories, ranging from food and beverage products to wearables to yoga garments. Similarly, resolutions such as “improve mental health”, “make more time for loved ones” and “lose weight” feature in the top 10 resolutions for the year.
Interestingly, something as specific as “prioritise time in nature” is emerging as a key new year’s resolution for many people this year. Each of these sharp needs can help marketers think of new products, prioritise existing ones, or even develop communication that emotionally vibes with these areas. For brands which have built their own first-party consumer databases, it may be worthwhile to check out the top new year’s resolutions of specific segments of these consumers. This could potentially lead to powerful and targeted marketing campaigns.
Peach Fuzz, colour of the year
At the start of each year, Pantone, the global company synonymous with colours, sets the mood by announcing the colour of the year. This is based on research carried out by the company. “Peach fuzz” has just been declared as the colour of 2024. This is a velvety gentle peach shade, which, according to Pantone, helps bring a “heartfelt feeling of kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration”. Clearly, in a world that has been torn apart by wars, conflicts and sharp polarisation, the need for deep warmth and cocooned comfort has been a key factor in arriving at this choice. Marketers can leverage this beautiful insight in many interesting ways. For instance, brands can consider introducing peach fuzz colour options of existing cars, launching brand new peach fuzz inspired garments or bringing back the delicious peach melba flavour of ice creams. In addition, brands can also engage consumers with this mood of warmth, safety and comfort through many other touch points such as advertising, retail stores and digital websites.
Sports and elections
2024 is a huge year for sports. Apart from the usual much anticipated annual events such as IPL and the tennis grand slam tournaments, the Olympics will be hosted in Paris this year. The ICC T-20 cricket World Cup is scheduled in the US and West Indies. Copa America will be played in Argentina. Between athletics, cricket, football and more, marketers will be presented with a wide choice of how and where to associate their respective brands with sports. From sponsoring tournaments or individual sportspeople to smart guerilla marketing opportunities, there are many interesting directions that can be considered if marketers are proactive enough.
Quite coincidentally, this is also a big year for elections, with as many as 40 countries, including India, the US and the UK heading to the polls. This combination of sports and elections is likely to have a multiplier effect in generating strong feelings of patriotism and nationalistic pride. Also, both these events typically give rise to great passions, and marketers may wish to consider how best to constructively leverage these high emotions.
The big screen
Finally, I would urge marketers to take a look at the most anticipated movie releases of 2024, both in Bollywood and Hollywood. Successful blockbuster movies tend to spark off consumer trends quite spontaneously, and brands can proactively think of how best to ride the hype. 2024 has a promising line-up here too. From big bang films such as Kalki 2898 AD with a cast full of superstars to women-centric films including Do Patti and The Crew, there is much on offer in Bollywood this year. Similarly, big Hollywood releases are likely to include Dune: Part Two and perhaps even the next movie of the Spiderman franchise.
I conclude with a broader point for marketers. It pays to look for market and consumer insights in unconventional places. These should be a necessary supplement to formal market research studies.

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

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

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

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

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

Star all-rounder Angelo Mathews makes his comeback in the shortest format of the game after a long gap of three years as Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe lock horns against each other in the three-match T20I series after the completion of an ongoing ODI series between the two sides. Players like Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Akila Dananjaya, Nuwan Thushara, and Kamindu Mendis are also included in the mix for the T20Is. This would be the first series for leg spinner Wanindu Hasaranga as the captain of the side. Australia Squad Announced: Steve Smith To Lead in ODI As Baggy Green Announce Squads for West Indies Series.
Opener Avishka Fernando, as well as top order batters Nuwanidu Fernando and Janith Liyanage, who was Player of the Match in the second ODI against Zimbabwe, are not included in the team. Dunith Wellalage, Pramod Madushan, and Jeffrey Vandersay are also missing from the squad. Pathum Nissanka has been named subject to fitness after being brought to the hospital last week with suspected dengue.

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

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

DOK ĆETE u Hrvatskoj na ulicama naići na prodavače kestena i kukuruza, u Sarajevu se na svakom koraku prodaje sok od šipka.
Sarajlije očito znaju da je riječ o voću koje je bomba vitalnosti pa su ga odlučili popularizirati i jasno je da su u tome uspjeli. U šetnji Baščaršijom zatekli smo nekoliko štandova i kioska na kojima se može kupiti sok od šipka, a domaći i turisti doslovno čekaju u redovima za dozu tog zdravog napitka koji nazivaju najljekovitijim sokom na svijetu.
Cijena soka od šipka u čaši je od 1.53 eura do 2.56 eura, ovisno o lokaciji, dok ćete za bocu soka morati izdvojiti između 2.56 i 3.58 eura.
Zašto je šipak toliko cijenjen?
Jedan prosječan šipak sadrži 72 kalorije, 1.5 grama proteina, gram masti, 16 grama ugljikohidrata i 3.5 grama vlakana. Slatke male kuglice, koje se nalaze u šipku, ne samo da sadrže vitamin C već su i bogate drugim važnim tvarima. Punična kiselina, antioksidans koji se nalazi u šipku i nekoliko drugih namirnica, mogla bi imati koristi u liječenju pretilosti, dijabetesa i metaboličkog sindroma. Prema starijoj studiji iz 2014., antioksidativni potencijal soka od šipka veći je od crnog vina.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Antioksidansi koji se nalaze u šipku mogu spriječiti i nakupljanje masnih naslaga oko arterija. Šipak također djeluje na snižavanje krvnog tlaka, a cijelo sjeme šipka sadrži pristojnu količinu vlakana koja snižavaju kolesterol.
Pola šalice zrna šipka osigurava gotovo 20 posto preporučenog dnevnog unosa vitamina K. Ovaj mikronutrijent, topiv u mastima, održava krv u stanju pravilnog zgrušavanja. Drugim riječima, kad se ozlijedite, vaše tijelo može brže zacijeliti rane.

MAČKE su znatiželjne i neodoljive kućne ljubimce, no kad je riječ o njihovoj prehrani, važno je biti pažljiv i odgovoran vlasnik. Iako mačke mogu biti izbirljive kad je hrana u pitanju, postoje namirnice koje apsolutno ne smiju konzumirati. Zašto? Otkrijmo što sve može biti opasno za naše pahuljaste prijatelje.
Čokolada
Čokolada je za mačke izuzetno opasna. Sadrži tvar teobromin koja može izazvati ozbiljne zdravstvene probleme, uključujući povraćanje, proljev, ubrzan srčani ritam, drhtanje mišića pa čak i smrt. Nikada ne dopustite mački da konzumira čokoladu ili proizvode koji je sadrže.
Luk i češnjak
Luk i češnjak sadrže tvari koje mogu oštetiti crvene krvne stanice mačke i uzrokovati anemiju. Čak i mala količina ovih namirnica može biti štetna. Stoga pazite da se ove sastojke ne nalaze u hrani koju pripremate za svojeg ljubimca.
Kofein
Kofein se nalazi u kavi, čaju, energetskim pićima i drugim napicima. Za mačke je kofein izrazito otrovan i može izazvati ozbiljne simptome kao što su ubrzan srčani ritam, drhtanje mišića i povraćanje. Čak i mali udio kofeina može biti opasan po zdravlje mačke.
Alkohol
Ovo je očito, ali važno je ponoviti – alkohol je apsolutno zabranjen za mačke. Čak i mala količina alkohola može uzrokovati ozbiljne probleme sa želucem i jetrom te dovesti do trovanja.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Koštice i sjemenke voća
Koštice i sjemenke voća poput marelica, breskvi, šljiva i jabuka sadrže cijanid, što može biti vrlo opasno za mačke. Ove tvari mogu uzrokovati ozbiljne probleme s probavom i čak dovesti do trovanja.
A što s mlijekom?
Iako se često stereotipno povezuju s mlijekom, mnoge su mačke zapravo intolerantne na laktozu. Nakon što odrastu, većina mačaka prestaje proizvoditi enzim potreban za probavu laktoze, što može rezultirati probavnim smetnjama poput proljeva. Ako želite ponuditi mački mliječni proizvod, bolje je potražiti specijalno pripravljeno mlijeko bez laktoze.
Kako bismo osigurali dug i sretan život našim mačkama, iznimno je važno znati što smiju, a što ne smiju jesti. Slijedeći ove smjernice, možemo osigurati da naši krzneni prijatelji ostanu zdravi i veseli. Osim toga, uvijek je najbolje konzultirati se s veterinarom kako biste bili sigurni da vaša mačka dobiva pravilnu prehranu i brigu koju zaslužuje.

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

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

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

“Nikako! Oni koji pristanu na prodaju ne bi ni trebali imati psa”, “U ovoj ekonomiji? Da”, “Tako brzo bih trčala i spakirala njegovu torbu”, “Nadam se da bi mu bilo lijepo u novoj obitelji”, “Ne bih psa, ali bih supruga”, “Ako je štene, onda bih, ali ako ga imam godinama, onda ne”, “Nikad, srce mi se slama od same pomisli da napustim svog psa”, komentiraju ljudi.

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

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

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

VJEROJATNO ste barem jednom u životu drhtali od hladnoće kada ste imali groznicu i vrućicu. Što god učinili, s koliko god prekrivača se pokrili i čajeva popili, nikako vam nije bilo manje hladno.
No to je zapravo dobar znak da se tijelo bori protiv infekcije, piše portal Everyday Health. Dodaju da će većina virusa i bakterija teško preživjeti kada je temperatura tijela veća od normalne. Povećanje od svega jednog ili dva stupnja može zaustaviti mnoge štetne mikroorganizme u napadu na imunološki sustav.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Kada je riječ o osjećaju jake hladnoće za vrijeme vrućice, specijalist primarne zdravstvene zaštite Nate Favini ističe da se radi o normalnom fiziološkom odgovoru. Objašnjava da čim mozak prebaci unutarnji “termostat” na višu temperaturu kako bi se borio protiv infekcije, ostatak tijela će generirati toplinu kako bi postigao tu višu temperaturu.
U tom trenutku smo ispod svoje nove idealne tjelesne temperature pa nam je hladno, zbog čega ćemo drhtati i tresti će nam se tijelo, prenosi Everyday Health.
Favini još dodaje da “dok tijelo generira toplinu kako bi postiglo veću temperaturu, mišići će kontrahirati”.

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

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

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

CES, a yearly gathering, showcases cutting-edge technologies and innovations from prominent creators in the consumer electronics industry. Over the past few years, this once itinerant event has found a stable home in Las Vegas, reported ZDNET.
This year, the 2024 edition of CES is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, spanning across venues such as the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Venetian Expo, and the Aria Resort & Casino. The official dates for CES 2024 are from Tuesday, January 9, to Friday, January 12. Additionally, two in-person Media Days, exclusively accessible to press members, are slated for January 7 and 8.
As per the publication, CES 2024 will include the participation of semiconductor giants such as Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, as well as leading companies in the mobile and home electronics sector like Samsung, Google, LG, and Amazon. PC manufacturers like Asus and HP are also expected to showcase their innovations, alongside the presence of several automotive companies such as BMW.
It is important to highlight that CES is not accessible to the general public. According to the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), CES is specifically designated as a “trade-only event,” restricted to individuals aged 18 or older who are affiliated with the consumer technology industry.
Anticipation is building for CES 2024, where numerous companies are poised to showcase their advancements in AI. Let us delve into the forthcoming AI revelations we can expect.

Samsung asserts that it can recognize up to 33 distinct fresh food items using a predefined dataset derived from around one million food photographs. Additionally, the refrigerator can actively monitor the water filter status and issue alerts when a replacement is necessary.
LG Smart Home AI
As per a report from Interesting Engineering, LG is set to feature its AI agent as the centerpiece of LG’s Smart Home at the upcoming CES.

Beyond conversation capabilities, it adeptly manages a range of smart home appliances and IoT devices.
Notably, the robot also monitors environmental conditions in real-time, such as temperature and air quality. Envisioned as a robotic companion, it can navigate spaces, take charge of smart home functions, and even serve as a security guard for the household.
LG AI TV
According to a report from Tom’s Guide, LG is rumored to introduce a 98-inch QNED TV featuring AI-driven picture enhancements at CES 2024. The TV is said to be powered by an A8 AI processor, enabling it to employ deep learning for faces, objects, and backgrounds within a scene, resulting in heightened texture and finer details. LG claims that the TV will offer an improved visual experience through precise HDR optimization, delivering three-dimensional picture quality.
Nvidia
In a recent blog post, Nvidia disclosed its plans to showcase AI advancements at CES 2024, with a standout revelation being a generative AI.

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

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

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

After underperforming its listed peers on pre-sales growth over FY21-23, we believe Sobha is set to outperform in terms of growth given its focus on unlocking its vast land reserve and exploring external growth opportunities through its healthy balance sheet.
The outperformance is also expected to be driven by improvements in profitability. Further, visibility in the monetisation of some of its large land parcels in Bengaluru will lead to a re-rating in its implied land valuation.
We factor in higher launches over FY24-26E and hence revise our pre-sales estimates by 4/12 per cent for FY24/FY25. We also introduce FY26 estimates.
We believe that as the company unlocks its vast land reserves and explores growth opportunities beyond its existing land bank, it will provide further growth visibility. Project launches on its large land parcels in Bengaluru and Tamil Nadu will drive re-rating for its existing land valuation.
Its focus on sustainable growth (revenue growth, healthy profitability, and steady cash flows) will put the company on a long-term growth path.
Key risks include slowdown in residential absorption, delay in monetisation of large land parcels, and inability to sign BD deals.
It’s always the women who gift the inspirations. For Raj Kapoor it was the woman in white who would flit in and out of his mind and movies; for Christian Dior it was an aunt who imagined herself a princess as she wafted down the staircase in skirts billowing from under-fitted bodices. For Sabyasachi, it was his grandmothers, women of extremely opposite tastes and temperament. And then there was his mother, quite another person, altogether. And others.
In the opulent palace of a store in Mumbai that he has chosen as his flagship, small brass plaques nestle quietly, whispering these stories from the designer’s life. They add to the mystique he carries around him; a person accessible and yet impossible to reach, a smiling boy who won’t grow up and yet, a hard-nosed businessman who has turned his creations into a national craving.
From Two worlds
So, we meet here his two grandmothers. One a minimalist, the other a ‘maximalist.’ The former in austere white muslin saris… the saris we meet again, carrying his label, woven by humble weavers whom he adopts as his own. The latter, exuberant, well-travelled, rich in material wealth, and always accessorised with a ‘khadi batua lined with a pomegranate pink velvet’ from which emerged coins to treat him to ‘ice-lollies, turmeric laced popcorn’ and matinee movie shows. The khadi and the velvet memories of a ‘magic bag’ long gone, recast themselves in myriad ways, all uniquely his own, emerging as it does from memories refracted by time.
Mining the past to bring in a richer present becomes a Sabyasachi signature, as native to his roots as the tiger he has adopted as his symbol. Which incidentally, as a plaque states, he saw first as a tiger head with ruby eyes encrusted on a cane, carried by a sedate, simply- dressed distinguished gentleman sitting by himself through the flurry of a Bengali wedding.
And caught between these two women, the image of his mother, in a ‘turquoise blue Benarasi sari with gold motifs and coral silk thread accents, and a flirtatious baby pink fall.’ A sari hated by his grandmother, possibly the asture one, but which wrapped itself around the son’s mind, as he watched his mother wearing it, her favourite, till it went threadbare. The colour palate of bright contrasts would streak across his early creations, waking up a ‘matching-sari-to-blouse’ world.
Combined with her bobbed hair, an oversized scarlet bindi, delicious gold chandbalis and a turquoise sleeveless blouse’, he loved the scandalous-for-its-time look his mother assayed.
Well, a sleeveless blouse held no scandal in the late 1990s, but dark skinned models, women with sad faces in bridal wear, and bespectacled women carrying studious looks along with their books… could be the chosen attention grabber. And the chandbalis, in his hands, encrusted, dipping into permutations of shapes, joined his jewellery line!
Another story to hang inspiration: the neighbourhood girl who wore straight cut jeans and tucked-in shirts, and read Ayn Rand and Harper Lee. Her ‘more fascinating’ mother ‘wearing white saris with black blouses and men’s shoes, kajal’ who kept her salt-and-pepper waist length hair flowing down to her waist. The music she surrounded her visitor with was by Ella Fitagerald and scented with the paper from the books that lined the walls of her room.
Checkout Sabyasachi’s New York store, and scratch the surface of the collections. And it’s there, in his clothes, and in the design of his stores.
Calcutta: Streets lit by lamplight, camphor smoke mingling with mustard oil fumes; music and dance lessons, or the litany of maths tables floating out of windows; the sky turning a ‘dull rose pink’. It’s a fast disappearing ethos, but he holds it captive, in the ambience he creates in his stores, the clocks on the walls forcing you to travel back in time, the books and the furniture forcing memories to the fore.

Birth of the business man
Sabyasachi was, as his plaque reads, eight years old when he designed the look for a school play, crafting wigs out of jute, sourcing clothes from local dresswallas, shiny costumes that burst out of tin trunks as the actors leapt to plunder. He admits to stealing a ‘mid-length, bias-cut, white satin slip’ from his mother’s cupboard, because he’d desperately wanted Snow White to wear it.’ ‘Plaid shirts became aprons, socks became gloves,’ and the next morning the writer-designer-schoolboy ‘was a star.’ Sabyasachi the designer would continue to craft new out of old, adapt and modify, mingling nostalgia with adventure.
And not much later, the birth of the ‘businessman’ he claims he really is, giving the designer in him second place.
At nineteen, creating jewellery inspired by rock and roll, using beads and shells and shiny bric-a-brac he had found in an art shop, adding the ‘flavours of Bengal, gothic colours, chains, distressed mirrors, feathers’ and ‘carrying them in plastic boxes’ to sell. No one paid attention, except an old shop keeper who bought them on consignment. And the self-made jewellery designer struck gold when a lady, enchanted by their subversive charm, paid ₹45 and bought the whole lot.
Reinvestment followed. Bringing in ₹12,000 a month. And the route was obvious. Reject rejection, follow your dream and combine business with art, craft and soul — the Sabyasachi formula.
So carping trolls, and adulating clients matter little. As the Sabyasachi juggernaut rolls on, across continents, carrying nostalgia as its USP.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NAJČEŠĆA boja dlake kod mačaka je tigrasta ili prugasta (tzv. tabby). Ova vrsta dlake često ima kombinaciju tamnih i svijetlih pruga koje se protežu duž cijelog tijela mačke. Tigraste mačke mogu biti različitih boja, uključujući smeđu, crnu, sivu i narančastu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Slijedi čista crna boja dlake, koja je također vrlo česta. Siva boja dlake također je česta, a sive mačke dolaze u različitim nijansama, od svijetlo sive do sive, koja gotovo izgleda kao srebrna. Narančasta boja dlake kod mačaka već je rjeđa, kao i smeđa. Među rijetkima su i potpuno bijela, crno-bijela (tzv. tuxedo mačka), crno-smeđa…
Važno je napomenuti da boja dlake kod mačaka, unatoč raširenom vjerovanju, nije povezana s njihovim karakterom ili temperamentom. Bez obzira na boju dlake, svaka mačka ima vlastiti karakter i osobnost.

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

Dabur is a waste warrior
On World Environment Day, Dabur India announced that it had become a ‘Plastic Waste Positive company’ , having collected, processed and recycled 35,000 mt of post-consumer plastic waste from all over India in the 2022-23 financial year.
“Today, Dabur collects, processes and recycles more plastic waste than it sells in its product packaging in a year, thereby becoming a ‘Plastic Waste Positive’ enterprise,” said Rahul Awasthi, head of operations of the company.
“We are also committed to promoting circularity in the value chain to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve Net Zero in the entire value chain by 2045,” Awasthi added.
Dabur has been running community-level projects to build awareness about waste segregation at source. In Delhi-NCR more than 150 housing societies are involved in the “My 10 kg Plastic” flagship community-led initiative. Dabur has till date collected a total of over 89,000 mt of plastic waste (recyclable and non-recyclable) direct from the end-users. The collected plastic waste is being sent to different recyclers, waste-to-energy plants and cement kilns.
POPULARNO poznat kao hormon sreće, dopamin pojačava osjećaj blagostanja i zadovoljstva. Iako je većina nas čula da tjelovježba ili razne druge aktivnosti mogu izazvati val dopamina, određene namirnice također mogu izazvati isti učinak. Lifestyle coach Nayma Hasan Diana navela je nekoliko primjera.
1. Riba i jaja
Namirnice bogate proteinima poput ribe i jaja izvrsne su za povećanje dopamina. Diana savjetuje da svojoj prehrani dodamo hranu bogatu proteinima.
“Pomaže nam izgraditi mišiće i pomaže kod boljeg oporavka. Veći unos proteina povezan je s boljim raspoloženjem”, rekla je za The Daily Star.
Riba je dodatno bogata omega-3 masnim kiselinama koje igraju veliku ulogu u funkciji dopaminskih receptora.
2. Avokado
Avokado je izvor zdravih masnoća, djeluje protuupalno i pomaže u kontroli razine šećera u krvi. Također sadrži značajne količine folata, ili vitamina B9 koji pomaže mozgu da proizvede dopamin.

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

U SVIJETU pasa posebno se ističu divovske pasmine koje samim pogledom u ljudima izazivaju strahopoštovanje. Ako ste ljubitelj velikih pasa i razmišljate o nabavci jednog, trebate imati na umu da velike pasmine često, ali ne i uvijek, zahtijevaju puno prostora, kvalitetnu prehranu i lijekove te iskusne vlasnike koji se mogu posvetiti njihovom treningu.
U nastavku donosimo pet najvećih pasmina koje su izdvojili stručnjaci portala The Spruce Pets.
Boerboel
Boerboel, poznat i kao južnoafrički mastif, zastrašujuća je pasmina, teška između 68 i 90 kilograma. Porijeklo ove pasmine pomalo je enigmatično, ali vjeruje se da je nastala miješanjem mastifa, viktorijanskih buldoga i autohtonih afričkih pasa. Boerboel se koristi kao pas čuvar na farmama.
Njemačka doga
Unatoč svojoj divovskoj veličini, njemačka doga poznata je po svom prijateljskom i blagom temperamentu. Ova pasmina prvotno je uzgajana za lov, ali s vremenom preuzela je ulogu kućnog ljubimca. Kao i drugi veliki psi, njemačka doga zahtijeva dosljedan trening kako ne bi došlo do nezgoda zbog njene veličine.

Irski vučji hrt
Irski vučji hrt nije robustan, ali zato slovi kao najviša pasmina pasa. Mužjaci su visoki minimalno 79 centimetara i teški oko 55 kilograma. Porijeklom iz Irske, ovaj pas uzgajan je još od 5. stoljeća za lov na velike životinje poput jelena i vukova.
Leonberger
Leonberger je nastao miješanjem Newfoundlandera, bernardinca i pirinejskog planinskog psa u 19. stoljeću, u njemačkom gradu Leonbergu. Unatoč velikoj, mišićavoj građi, Leonberger je poznat po svojoj agilnosti i brzini. Iako je izrazito nježan i druželjubiv pas, Leonbergera je potrebno trenirati od malih nogu, zbog njegove veličine i snage.
Engleski mastif
Engleski mastif je drevna pasmina čije prikaze možemo vidjeti na egipatskim spomenicima i u rimskim dokumentima. Engleski mastif bio je u prošlosti korišten kao čuvar, ali kroz stoljeća evoluirao je u nježnog i prijateljski nastrojenog psa.

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

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

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

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

Velika američka studija pokazala je da ljudi koji prirodno hodaju brže od prosjeka za svoju dob imaju duži životni vijek. Objavio je Journal of the American Medical Association 2011. godine.
Ako imate 60 godina ili više, vaša bi prosječna brzina trebala biti oko 0.8 metara u sekundi. Ako hodate brže od jednog metra u sekundi, vaš očekivani životni vijek trebao bi biti znatno duži od prosjeka, rekla je Stephanie Studenski, profesorica gerijatrijske medicine na Sveučilištu u Pittsburghu, koja je vodila studiju.
“Brzina hoda manja od 0.6 metara u sekundi može ukazivati na povećani rizik od rane smrtnosti. Ovaj test je koristan jer hodanje zahtijeva energiju, kontrolu pokreta i potporu te postavlja zahtjeve na više organskih sustava, uključujući srce, pluća, krvožilni, živčani i mišićno-koštani sustav”, rekla je Studenski.
Brzo hodanje može ukazivati na dobro zdravlje srca. Studija, provedena na više od 50.000 ljudi i objavljena u British Journal of Sports Medicine 2019., otkrila je da je hodanje brže od prosjeka povezano s 53 posto nižim rizikom od kardiovaskularnih bolesti u starijih od 60 godina.
Koliko sklekova možete napraviti?
Napravite koliko god sklekova možete. Prema studiji provedenoj na više od 1500 sredovječnih muškaraca 2019. godine, što više sklekova možemo učiniti uzastopno, manji je rizik od smrti od kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Izvođenje manje od deset sklekova ukazuje na rizik od srčanih bolesti veći od prosjeka, izvijestio je JAMA Network Open.
Svaki dodatni sklek smanjuje rizik od kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Ako možete napraviti 40 ili više sklekova u komadu, vaš je kardiovaskularni rizik smanjen za 97 posto.
Zasebno istraživanje Sveučilišta Južnog Walesa pokazalo je da izvođenje sklekova potiče otpuštanje BDNF-a, kemikalije koja potiče rast novih moždanih stanica i može pomoći u zaštiti od demencije.
Testirajte snagu svog stiska
Zamolite prijatelja da procijeni vaš stisak ruke. Liječnici opće prakse tradicionalno koriste test rukovanja prilikom pozdravljanja pacijenata kao mjeru njihove fizičke snage.

Osim što je pouzdano mjerilo ukupne mišićne snage i dugovječnosti, snaga stiska povezana je sa snagom mozga. Studija Sveučilišta u Manchesteru iz 2021., provedena na gotovo pola milijuna Britanaca, otkrila je da su zdravi sredovječni ljudi s jakim stiskom ruku bili bolji u testovima pamćenja i rasuđivanja.
Vrijeme koje je potrebno za uspinjanje po stepenicama
Pronađite stubište s 60 stepenica i izmjerite koliko vam je potrebno da se popnete po njima. Istraživanje predstavljeno na konferenciji Europskog kardiološkog društva 2020. pokazalo je da je kod ljudi srednje dobi uspinjanje po 60 stepenica u manje od minute pokazatelj dobrog zdravlja srca i nižeg rizika od smrtnosti u sljedećem desetljeću.
Voditelj istraživanja, dr. Jesus Peteiro, kardiolog u Sveučilišnoj bolnici Coruna u Španjolskoj, upozorio je: “Ako vam za ovaj test treba više od jedne i pol minute, vaše je zdravlje ispod optimalnog i trebali biste razmisliti o aktivnijoj tjelovježbi.”
Koliko dugo možete stajati na jednoj nozi?
Ovo je najpoznatiji test dugovječnosti, a sada se smatra i snažnim pokazateljem budućeg zdravlja mozga. Skinite cipele i čarape te stavite prednji dio jednog stopala na stražnju stranu suprotne potkoljenice, držeći ruke pored sebe i pogled usmjeren ravno naprijed. Mjerite koliko dugo možete stajati ovako – pokušajte tri puta i koristite svoje prosječno vrijeme kao rezultat.
Ljudi koji ne mogu stajati na jednoj nozi deset sekundi u srednjoj ili kasnijoj dobi imaju gotovo dvostruko veći rizik od smrti u sljedećih deset godina, pokazalo je prošlogodišnje globalno istraživanje na 1702 osobe. Oni koji su postigli najlošije rezultate u prosjeku su izdržali samo dvije sekunde ili manje, te su imali tri puta veću vjerojatnost da će umrijeti u sljedećih 13 godina nego oni koji su mogli stajati deset sekundi ili više, izvijestio je British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Prošle su godine istraživači sa Sveučilišta Tsukuba u Japanu izvijestili da su ljudi bolji u testovima ravnoteže što je njihov hipokampus snažniji. Ovo je područje mozga povezano s pamćenjem, ali također igra ulogu u našoj ravnoteži, zbog čega je ovaj test iznimno koristan.
ZOOLOŠKI vrt objavio je priopćenje nakon što je morao uspavati 15-godišnju žirafu. Na Silvestrovo (31. prosinca) zoološki vrt u Dallasu bio je prisiljen donijeti srceparajuću odluku da usmrti jednu od svojih voljenih žirafa, Ferrell, koja je imala samo 15 godina.
Prema Zakladi za očuvanje žirafa, i mužjaci i ženke žirafe mogu doživjeti oko 25 godina u divljini, a čak i duže u zoološkim vrtovima. Unatoč tome što je Ferrell imala samo 15 godina, zoološki vrt u Dallasu objavio je na svojoj Facebook stranici da je Ferrell uginula.
Zoološki vrt objasnio je da je žirafa 29. prosinca neočekivano pala u staji i zadobila tešku ozljedu čeljusti. “Naši timovi za brigu o životinjama i veterinari brzo su procijenili njezino stanje i utvrdili da ozljeda zahtijeva kirurški zahvat”, opisali su.

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

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

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

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

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

Utilising such channels effectively to engage with end consumers has the ability to supplement the retailer’s effort to drive not just conversions but also a resounding, positive sentiment toward the brand.
If not, the alternative isn’t very positive, where the risk of getting left behind in a sea of the outdated and outmoded is too large.
NA NEKE faktore dugovječnosti, poput genetike i bolesti, ne možemo utjecati, ali na druge možemo. Ono što jedemo i koliko redovito vježbamo igra veliku ulogu u tome koliko ćemo dugo živjeti. Štoviše, smatra se da su to glavni razlozi zbog kojih stanovnici takozvanih plavih zona imaju najveće koncentracije stogodišnjaka.
Tiktokerica Carleigh Bodrug pogledala je Netflixov dokumentarac o navikama ljudi u plavim zonama i preporučila minestrone juhu punu povrća.
“Najdugovječnije obitelji jedu ovu juhu gotovo svaki dan”, rekla je.
Kamen temeljac prehrane većine stogodišnjaka su namirnice biljnog podrijetla, poput graha, mahunarki, zeljanica i žitarica.
Da je ova juha zdrava, potvrdio je i doktor Tim Tiutan.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Ova nevjerojatna juha na bazi biljaka puna je vitamina, minerala i vlakana. Povrće je bogato vlaknima koja pomažu u kontroli razine šećera u krvi, snižavaju kolesterol, poboljšavaju zdravlje crijeva, pomažu u kontroli težine i smanjuju rizik od raka”, pojasnio je.
Za juhu će vam trebati mrkva, celer, luk, krumpir, začini, češnjak, pelati, temeljac, grah (ili slanutak), ječam (ili tjestenina) i bosiljak.
Carleigh kaže da je prvo potrebno isjeckati sve sastojke na kockice. Potom zagrijte veliki lonac na srednje jakoj vatri. Propirjajte češnjak i luk, a zatim dodajte mrkvu, celer, krumpir, origano, sol i papar. Kad krumpir i mrkva malo omekšaju, ulijte u lonac vodu i temeljac, dodajte pelate, grah i ječam. Kad voda zakuha, smanjite vatru i kuhajte juhu pola sata. Ukrasite svježim peršinom i uživajte.

KELLY Taylor, vlasnica zlatnih retriverica Chloe i Callie, u intervjuu za Newsweek otkrila je da njezine ljubimice obožavaju spavati i već se oko 20 sati spremaju za krevet.
“Chloe i Callie vole spavati”, rekla je Taylor. “Imaju organiziran raspored koji potiče zdravu prehranu, spavanje i aktivan život. Većinu dana bude se uz prve zrake sunca, a oko 10 ponovno drijemaju. No Callie je puno ozbiljnija od Chloe kada je u pitanju spavanje.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Taylor je prošli tjedan na svom TikTok profilu objavila snimku na kojoj možemo vidjeti kako Callie svojoj vlasnici daje do znanja da je vrijeme za spavanje. Callie se penje stepenicama koje vode prema spavaćoj sobi i svakih par koraka zastane kako bi pogledala svoju vlasnicu. Nakon što shvati da je vlasnica ne želi slijediti u krevet, Callie sama odlazi na spavanje.
“Pogledom te pita: ‘Dolaziš li?'”, “Moj labrador laje u hodniku sve dok ga ne počnemo slijediti”, “Jadnica, stvarno želi da joj se pridružiš”, “Ja ne trebam ni gledati sat, moj zna kada je 9:30”, pisali su korisnici TikToka u komentarima videa koji je pregledan više od 3.7 milijuna puta.

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

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

“Počnite tako da opustite mišiće na čelu, oči, obraze, čeljust i usredotočite se na disanje. Pazite da vam ramena nisu napeta. Spustite ih što niže možete i držite ruke labavo uza sebe. Zatim duboko udahnite i polako izdahnite opuštajući prsa, trbuh, bedra, koljena, noge i stopala. Dok to radite, očistite se od stresa. Razmislite o dva scenarija. Prvo, ležite u kanuu na mirnom jezeru. Nema ničega, samo plavo nebo iznad vas. Drugo, ležite u crnoj baršunastoj ležaljci u mračnoj sobi. Kad počnete razmišljati o bilo čemu drugome, ponavljajte deset sekundi riječi ‘ne misli'”, pojasnio je.
Prema Agustinovim riječima, tehnika je razvijena uglavnom za borbene pilote koji trebaju 100 posto svojih refleksa i fokusa koji opadaju s nedostatkom sna.

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

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

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

Oppo Reno 11 series is expected to make its debut in India and global markets on January 11, 2024, according to a leak from tipster Ishan Agarwal. The leak suggests that the Reno 11 could feature a Mediatek Dimensity 1080 and come with a slightly different camera bump compared to the Chinese version of the smartphone. If these leaks are to be believed, then the Indian variant of the Reno 11 would mark a significant downgrade from the Chinese version, which features the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC underneath.

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

“Radi se o dugovječnosti. Privilegija je ostariti, ali ne moramo se razboljeti. Želim uživati u godinama u kojima jesam i ne gledati na starenje kao na nešto negativno, već kao na privilegiju. Svi starimo”, izjavila je.
Glumica je ranije govorila o tome koliko se dobro osjeća nakon vježbanja: “Brinem o svom tijelu, endorfini mi rastu, a krv kola žilama.”
U intervjuu za Vogue otkrila je i da se ujutro suzdržava od gledanja u telefon. Ne koristi ga prvih sat vremena nakon buđenja.

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

PSI NA RAZLIČITE načine izražavaju radost i ljubav, a gluhi psi pronalaze svoje jedinstvene načine pokazivanja sreće. Vlasnici, također, koriste neobične geste kako bi svojim psima najavili da su stigli kući. Jedna tiktokerica pokazala je kako svojoj gluhoj bokserici Nali daje do znanja da je kod kuće.

Video prikazuje Nalu kako spava u svom krevetu u kutu sobe. Vlasnica joj tada prilazi i stavlja ruku ispred njuške, dajući joj do znanja da se vratila kući. Zatim u nju nježno puhne, na što Nala oduševljeno poskoči.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
UREĐENJE doma može biti prilično zabavno iskustvo – posebno ljubiteljima uređenja interijera. Razgledavanje ponuda, slaganje Pinterest boardova, stavljanje stvari u košaricu (bilo fizičku ili online) opuštajuće je iskustvo za mnoge, ali konačni iznos često može pokvariti zabavu.
Stoga, idealno vrijeme za kupnju je onda kada cijene padnu, kao npr. sada kada su stigla zimska sniženja u gotovo sve trgovine, pa tako i one za dom. Modna sniženja smo već pokrili, a sada ćemo se fokusirati na komade za dom. Bilo da ste u potrazi za nekom sitnicom ili većim komadom, sada je idealno vrijeme za nabavku.
Mnoge trgovine poput Lesnine, Emmezete, Prime, Manga, Reserveda, Zare i drugih snizile su cijene raznim komadima za dom. Pregledali smo njihovu ponudu i izdvojili deset komada za koje smatramo da se isplate ugrabiti na ovom sniženju.
U Emmezeti nam se prilično svidio ovaj trosjed u nježnoj ružičastoj boji kojem je cijena snižena za 29% pa sada košta 460 eura.
Tepisi znaju biti prilično skupi pa ih se isplati kupiti na popustu. Nama se svidio ovaj marke Dieter Knoll kojem je cijena snižena za 54% pa sada košta 60 eura. Dimenzije su mu 80 x 150 cm, a možete ga naći u Lesnini.
Servis za jelo može biti i jako dobar poklon nekome za useljenje, ali svakom kućanstvu dobro dođe i jedan ekstra. Ovaj 28-dijelni bijele boje našli smo na sniženju u Lesnini, cijena mu je snižena za 37% pa sada košta 75 eura.
U Primi se može naći dosta komada na sniženju, a nama je za oko zapela ova kuhinja blok. Ima 260 cm, a dolazi u krem boji. Idealna je za manje prostore poput apartmana ili vikendica. Cijena joj je snižena za 51% pa sada košta 619 eura.

U H&M-u se može naći dosta manjih komada za dom na sniženju, a mi izdvajamo ovu vješalicu za vrata crne boje. Ovakve vješalice zgodan su način za pohranu ručnika, ali i odjeće. Cijena joj je snižena za 52% pa sada košta 15.99 eura.
Posteljina može biti prilično skupa stavka, a valja imati više setova u ormaru. Idealno za napraviti zalihe je kada je na sniženju. Mi smo ovu našli u Mangu i odmah nas je osvojila, taman je idealna za nadolazeće proljeće. Dolazi u više veličina, a popust ovisi o odabranoj.
Još malo tanjura, ali kad im nismo mogli odoljeti. Ove smo našli u trgovini Reserved, a cijena im je snižena za 35% pa sada koštaju 26 eura. Osim ovog u ponudi imaju različite veličine i namjene tanjura s ovim uzorkom. Baš su divni!
Dobra rasvjeta ključan je detalj kod uređenja doma, a nama se svidjela ova koju smo našli na sniženju u Zara Home trgovini. Inspirirana je svjetiljkama iz 60-ih godina, a ima jednobojnu završnu obradu i šire postolje na dnu. Cijena joj je snižena za 38% pa košta 30 eura.
Isto u Zara Home trgovini, zaljubili smo se u ovaj naslonjač. Krasi ga okvir od jasenova drva, tapecirana lanena tkanina, a cijena mu je snižena za čak 42% pa sada košta 199 eura.
I završit ćemo ovaj popis s blagovaonskom stolicom marke Canett koju smo našli na rasprodaji u internetskoj trgovini Bonami. Cijena ove sive stolice snižena je za 25% pa sada košta 223 eura.

The Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) of India has imposed a penalty of ₹1.2 crore on Unitech Advisors (India) Pvt Ltd (now known as Auram Asset Management Private Ltd) and two of its directors, Ajay and Sanjay Chandra, for failing to wind up three real estate funds years ago, despite several extensions.
Besides, the market regulator in a late night Friday order also imposed a penalty of ₹10 lakh on Sanjay Chandra, Hitendra Malhotra, another director of the company, and Deepak Bajaj, a director at Unitech Realty Investors (India) Pvt Ltd and a nominee of Unitech Advisors on the investment committee of the fund house. That means, the total amount should be paid jointly and severally by them would be ₹1.20 crore, said SEBI.
SEBI has found a number of violations by the fund house including investing investors’ monies in its group companies, made bad investment decisions, and still not returned the money of a majority of its investors.

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

SEBI has also slapped a penalty of ₹10 lakh each on the fund house’s three trustees Vijay Tulshyan, Mahesh Kumar Sharma and Rakesh Dhingra. They were barred from taking new assignments as Trustees of Alternative Investment Fund of any category for a period of one year, SEBI order said.
“The direction for winding up and for providing exit to investors/unit holders does not preclude the investors/unit holders of the fund to pursue other legal remedies available to them under any other law, against the fund and/or the Noticees regarding their investment or deficiency in service before any appropriate forum of competent jurisdiction,” SEBI further said.
“It took a lot of hard work to do this campaign. I think I aged a bit while de-aging Kapil Dev,” exclaims Dheeraj Sinha, CEO, Leo Burnett South Asia, ecstatic after winning the gold for Airtel 175 Replayed at Cannes Lions.
In the Brand Experience and Activation category at Cannes, four campaigns from India were shortlisted. Airtel 175 Replayed for Airtel by Leo Burnett, The Responsible Manhole for TVS Motors by Dentsu Creative, The Everything book for Vedantu by Dentsu Creative and Suraksha Teeka for Mortein by Dentsu Creative.
While EA Sports and Apple secured the Grand Prix in the category for putting the fictional AFC Richmond team from the TV show Ted Lasso into FIFA 2023 computer game, Indian entry Airtel 175 Replayed from Leo Burnett struck gold.
After the win, Dheeraj Sinha told businessline, “This is about giving India a part of its cultural (cricket) history that was lost. For the launch of future-led 5G services of Airtel, we used technology to recreate our past. We worked with Oscar-winning, post-production set up, DNEG, to de-age Kapil Dev. We recreated the stadium and the crowds of that time and mapped human data to recreate each of the shots that got played that day. By recreating Kapil Dev’s 175-run innings from 1983, we brought back our past to launch the future of technology. Because any technology is as useful as the human interaction it facilitates.”
Even the launch of the campaign was futuristic. As Sinha says, “This content was launched by Kapil Dev himself via his hologram for an audience of social personalities and influencers. What a way for people to get an experience of what future technology can enable.”
On the win, he says, “I am so glad that this project got massive recognition at the global stage such as Cannes Lions, a testimony that we are now creating world-class ideas for our brands from India.”
KAŠALJ je sasvim normalna pojava koja pomaže u čišćenju naših dišnih puteva od raznih mikroba i viška sluzi. Ipak, uporan i dugotrajan kašalj može biti vrlo neugodan, a i ukazivati na brojna zdravstvena stanja koja je potrebno liječiti.
No kašalj uzrokovan prehladnom ili gripom možemo pokušati izliječiti i prirodnim putem. Evo nekoliko prirodnih pripravaka koje možete napraviti u kućnoj radinosti, koji provjereno pomažu kod kašlja i nadraženog grla.
1. Grgljajte slanu vodu
Ako je vaš kašalj uzrokovan bakterijskom infekcijom, slana voda ga može izliječiti. Pomiješajte pola žlice kuhinjske soli u čaši mlake vode, a pripravak možete popiti dva do tri puta dnevno. Ipak, ako je riječ o virusnoj infekciji, sol neće biti od pomoći.
2. Pijte čaj s đumbirom
Znanstveno je dokazano da đumbir pomaže u smanjenju kašlja i umirivanju nadraženog grla. Također, njegov korijen ima protuupalna i antioksidativna svojstva. Možete kupiti čaj u vrećicama ili sami skuhati korijen đumbira te mu dodati med i limun.
3. Dodajte med u tekućinu koju pijete
Med djeluje umirujuće na gornje dišne puteve, uklanja peckanje i škakljanje u grlu te djeluje protuupalno.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
4. Uzmite jednu žlicu maslinovog ulja dnevno
Mnoga istraživanja pokazala su da ekstra djevičansko maslinovo ulje ima važnu ulogu u liječenju infekcija i zaraznih bolesti. Kod oralne primjene stvara zaštitni sloj i podmazuje bolno grlo. Isto tako olakšava kašalj te smanjuje osjećaj iritacije u grlu.
5. Jedite probiotike
Svi znaju da su probiotici dobri za zdravlje crijeva, ali također imaju ulogu u sprječavanju prehlade i smanjivanju kašlja.
6. Uzimajte sirup od luka
Sirup od luka često se daje djeci. Luk, naime, dokazano razrjeđuje sekret i tako pomaže u rasterećivanju pluća. Odavno se koristi u narodnoj medicini kao lijek protiv prehlade. Za sirup će vam trebati jedan crveni luk i tri jušne zlice smeđeg šećera u prahu. Luk ogulite, narežite na ploške, stavite na tanjur i pospite šećerom pa ga pustite da odstoji kako bi pustio sok.
7. Stavljajte obloge od gorušice
Gorušica potiče cirkulaciju krvi šireći kapilare. Držanje obloga na prsima pomaže otvoriti dišne puteve, čime se olakšava iskašljavanje i oslobađanje sluzi. Trebat će vam jedna jušna žlica samljevenih sjemenki gorušice, 4 jušne žlice brašna i malo maslinovog ulja. Samljevene sjemenke pomiješajte s brašnom, ulijte malo vode i napravite pastu. Nanesite tanak sloj na pamučnu krpu te dodajte nekoliko kapi maslinovog ulja. Oblog držite na prsima 15 minuta.

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

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

NEW DELHI: The year 2023 proved lucky for Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan led the way with “Pathaan” and “Jawan”.
However, amidst high expectations, there were also some big titles that failed to capitalise on the great theatrical boom of Hindi movies post pandemic, ultimately falling flat at the box office.
Here is the list of some of the major hits and misses of 2023.
“Pathaan” and “Jawan“: With the two action titles, Shah Rukh made a triumphant return to leading man roles after a gap of four years.
“Pathaan”, directed by Siddharth Anand, released in theatres in January and shattered many box office records in the opening weekend and ended its theatrical run with a towering gross box office collection of over Rs 1,050 crore.
It also starred Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, “Jawan”, a high-octane action entertainer from Tamil director Atlee.
The pan-India film, which also featured Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi, turned out to be an even bigger hit, grossing Rs 1,150 crore globally to become the biggest hit of SRK’s career.
“Animal“: It was one of the most memorable years of Ranbir’s career with the actor delivering the third biggest but also the most divisive film of 2023 in “Animal”, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of “Kabir Singh” fame.
The film drew criticism for its graphic content, extreme violence, and treatment of female characters but since its release on December 1, it has earned over Rs 880 crores in worldwide gross.
“Gadar 2“: A sequel to 2000 hit “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha”, the Anil Sharma-directed film reintroduced Sunny Deol to mass audiences.
The movie, which released in August, turned out to be a surprise hit of the year with over Rs 680 crore in worldwide collection, according to trade websites.
Sunny, 66, reprised his role of Tara Singh in “Gadar 2”, set years after the events of the first movie.
“Tiger 3“: Salman Khan returned as super spy Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger in the third part of his eponymous movie franchise.
Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film was released in November.
Despite coming in theatres around the time of Cricket World Cup, the movie grossed over Rs 460 crore in worldwide collection.
It also starred Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi.
“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani“: Karan Johar’s seventh full-fledged feature not only became one of the highest grossing films of the filmmaker’s career, but is also his most talked-about and progressive movie till date.
Released in July, the movie grossed over Rs 355 crore.
“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” featured Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt with great supporting acts by the likes of cinema veterans Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi as well as actors Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly and Aamir Bashir.
Misses
“The Vaccine War“: After the controversial-yet-highly-successful “The Kashmir Files”, Vivek Agnihotri released “The Vaccine War” in theatres in September.
The movie revolved around Indian scientists and their quests to develop an affordable vaccine for India and the world.
It earned Rs 14 crore at the box office, according to trade websites.
“Tejas“: Kangana Ranaut had another forgettable year as “Tejas”, which featured her as an Indian Air Force pilot, turned out to be a colossal disappointment at the box office.
It was released in theatres in October and managed to earn around Rs 8 crore, trade websites reported.
“Bholaa“: Trade pundits were betting big on Ajay Devgn’s “Bholaa”, the Hindi remake of Tamil hit “Kaithi”, but the audiences gave the film a cold shoulder.
The film, which released in cinemas in March, earned over Rs 120 crore, just enough to cover its making cost.
It was directed by Devgn and also starred Tabu.
“Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan“: Before “Tiger 3”, Salman had another big release in “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan”, which made its debut in theatres in April, coinciding with the festival of Eid.
Despite being headlined by a Bollywood superstar, the film underperformed at the box office, earning around Rs 180 crore.
The movie, which was a remake of Tamil superstar Ajith’s hit movie “Veeram”, also starred Pooja Hegde and Venkatesh Daggubati.
“Adipurush“: The Om Raut-directorial, headlined by “Baahubali” star Prabhas, was one of the most anticipated titles but was plagued by many controversies.
It was released amid much fanfare in June, registering a bombastic score of over Rs 300 crores in the opening weekend.
But poor reviews, coupled with a huge row over its poor dialogues and VFX, took a toll on the movie as it recorded a huge dip in numbers and footfalls in theatres.
The film, also starring Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon, eventually grossed around Rs 390 crores, according to trade websites.
As infrastructure and its many sub-segments took off sharply over the past couple of years and continue to thrive with heavy government investments and initiatives, many companies have benefitted from smart execution of such projects.
In this regard, NCC is a company that has been a key beneficiary of the focus on improvement in infrastructure across the country.
The firm operates in segments ranging from building & housing, roads, water & environment, to irrigation, electrical works, mining and railways. These projects are executed for various State and Central government entities.
A track record of strong execution, diversified orderbook and a pipeline of lucrative projects to be worked on over the next few years make the prospects for the stock of NCC attractive.
The shares of NCC have doubled over the past one year, but are still reasonably valued. At ₹166.70, the stock trades at 18 times its trailing 12-months per share earnings and 14 times its likely per share earnings for FY24. Investors with a 2-3-year perspective can buy the shares of NCC.
In the last five financial years (FY18-FY23), the company’s revenues have risen at a CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) of 12 per cent to ₹13,351 crore in FY23, while net profits grew at 14.7 per cent over the same period to ₹569 crore.
Strong execution record
NCC operates in multiple segments of the infrastructure theme, as mentioned earlier.
Industrial and commercial buildings, IT Parks, shopping malls, colleges, hospitals, metros, highways, water treatment plants, underground drainages, electrification, transmission & distribution lines and sub-stations, dams, reservoirs, tunnels, track-laying, signalling and coal excavation are some of its areas of expertise.
A sample of its projects executed includes, Nagpur Metro Rail, ESIC Hospital at Gulbarga, AIIMS Guwahati, Agra-Lucknow Expressway, SVAB, ISRO Sriharikota, Water Supply Project in Odisha, Rubber Dam on Falgu River, Airport at Agartala and Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway, among many others.
NCC is currently executing or has won orders from North Bihar Power Distribution Company, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co., Navi Mumbai International Airport, Haryana International Horticulture Marketing Corporation and the like. The size of these orders ranges from ₹1,144 crore to ₹5,755 crore, indicating deep client relationships. The UP Jal Jeevan Piped Water project is worth ₹16,500 crore.
Large, diversified order book
The company has witnessed a surge in its order book over the past couple of years. In the recent couple of quarters alone, it has won a total of over ₹20,400 crore worth of orders.
As of September 2023, NCC had an order book of a staggering ₹61,796 crore to be executed in the next few years. The order book translates to around 4 times its trailing 12-months’ revenues.
Being an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) player, the company is able to bid smartly for its projects and has generally been able to maintain an EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) margin of 10 per cent or more. This margin is healthy given the scale at which it operates. NCC is also increasingly taking on projects that contain escalation clauses to insulate the company from increase in input prices.
The company has constantly been able to tap into emerging areas and develop expertise to win orders. Smart metering is one such area, given the focus that many State electricity boards put into it to reduce revenue leakages and tighten subsidies.
NCC’s current order book is quite diversified with buildings (41 per cent), transportation (14 per cent), electrical (22 per cent), water & railways (16 per cent) and mining (7 per cent) being the main constituents.
Given the diversity of the order book, and the criticality of many projects that it is executing, there is considerable visibility on earnings and margins for the next few years without any fears of cutbacks from governments.
Debt and one-offs
Despite growing at a reasonable pace and with a fairly large scale of operation, NCC has managed to keep its debt level under control. Gross debt has decreased from ₹1,985 crore as of September 2022 to ₹1,470 crore as of September 2023. The company has cash and cash equivalents of ₹215 crore as of September 2023.
Though NCC has indicated that debt may go up a tad over the next couple of quarters, the levels of leverage are still comfortable.
The net debt to equity ratio is a little over 0.1, which is quite a healthy level to operate at.
In the first half of FY24, NCC’s revenue rose 36.2 per cent over the same period in FY23 to ₹8,121.5 crore, while net profits declined 4.3 per cent to ₹2,31.3 crore. The reason for the decline was a one-off arbitration issue. In September 2023, NCC received an arbitration award of ₹198 crore after five years (from a client, Sembcorp), while the expected claim was ₹606 crore. At the same time, the company also received a claim settlement of ₹152 crore from NHAI. These two claims together impacted revenue by ₹199 crore and net profits by ₹149 crore in Q2FY24 as impairment — no cash outflows, though. Otherwise, the first half net profits would have soared sharply.
At Cannes Lions 2023, TVS Motor Company’s campaign The Responsible Manhole, made by Dentsu Creative — an innovative initiative to prevent deaths due to submerged open manholes in the city of Mumbai — was shortlisted under the category – Brand Experience and Activation (culture and context).
businessline checked out how this intervention is faring. It all began when TVS Motor Company learnt that open manholes in cities like Mumbai claim a life every 12 hours. They pose a great risk to riders due to chronic waterlogging during the monsoons caused by poor drainage. Of the 3,60,000 manholes in the city — while some are left open by the locals for the rainwater to escape — many manhole covers are stolen. It’s a big challenge for the municipality to keep the manholes closed.
The two wheeler giant joined hands with the Mumbai Municipal Corporation to solve this problem. Leveraging technology and connectivity, an innovative, low-cost, easily scalable 3D-printed device, which costs $20 to produce, was developed along with an app.
When it rains and the manhole is dislodged, the device is pushed up by 5 feet. The LED blinker and the buzzer is triggered alerting the people to the danger in the form of audio and visual warnings. Apart from the device, an app was also developed to alert the civic authorities in real-time to fix the problem.
The responsible manhole app
“Our intent is to make a difference and save the lives of riders during the monsoon,” Aniruddha Haldar, Senior Vice President (Marketing) – Commuters and Corporate Brand and Dealer Transformation, TVS Motor Company told businessline.
Phase 2 in works
After the first phase of the initiative, when the device was deployed across the city, there was a significant decline in casualties. Phase 2 of the programme now moves to Bengaluru.
“We are in the process of initiating phase 2 of this initiative and 200 devices will be installed in Bengaluru. Furthermore, this technology is being made open-source to leading technology institutes in India so that further development can happen,” said Haldar.
The project’s success has also opened conversations with other municipalities including Chennai, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar and Guwahati. In December 2022, the Mumbai High Court ordered better surveillance of manhole covers in the city. The device’s blueprint has also been made available to civic bodies worldwide for any municipality to use.
U MODERNOM, užurbanom svijetu, gdje briga o mentalnom zdravlju postaje sve važnija, pred nama je nova godina koja pruža priliku za introspekciju i primjenu pet jednostavnih, ali učinkovitih strategija. Ove metode mogu nam pomoći u suočavanju sa stresom i unaprijediti naše opće mentalno blagostanje.
1. Isprobajte provjereni način za bolji san
Dovoljno sna jedna je od najvažnijih stvari koje možemo učiniti za svoje mentalno zdravlje. Spavanje igra ključnu ulogu u regulaciji raspoloženja, kognitivnim funkcijama te općem emocionalnom i psihičkom blagostanju.
Stalna i kvalitetna rutina spavanja može imati pozitivan utjecaj na suočavanje sa stresom. Prioritiziranje kvalitetnog sna postaje važan korak u skrbi o svom mentalnom zdravlju.
2. Naučite kako prepoznati je li vaša tjeskoba zaštitna ili problematična
Normalno je ponekad osjećati tjeskobu. Stručnjaci kažu da je to interni alarmni sustav koji može poboljšati naše performanse i pomoći nam da prepoznamo opasnost. Ipak, važno je znati odrediti kada razina tjeskobe nije u normalnoj mjeri.
“Ako počnete primjećivati da su zabrinutost i strah stalno prisutni, to je signal da vam treba pomoć”, rekao je doktor i predsjednik Američke psihijatrijske udruge Petros Levounis za New York Times.
Drugi znakovi na koje treba obratiti pažnju uključuju nemir, osjećaj straha ili propasti, ubrzan rad srca, znojenje, drhtanje i probleme s koncentracijom.

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

ZLATNA retriverica Luna jako je vezana za svog vlasnika, ali nije ljubiteljica putovanja i auti joj izazivaju anksioznost, zbog čega se ne može pridružiti svom vlasniku kada mora ići na put.

Njezin vlasnik nedavno je otišao na putovanje od tjedan dana, a Lunu je ostavio kod bake, gdje može plivati u bazenu i uživati u psećim aktivnostima. Iako je Luna uživala tih tjedan dana, nedostajao joj je njezin vlasnik, zbog čega je bila oduševljena kada je napokon došao po nju. Dirljivu snimku njihovog ponovnog susreta pogledajte u nastavku.
“Moj pas se ovako ponaša kada me nema 5 minuta”, “Najbolja stvar na svijetu je vratiti se doma psima”, “Luna je prekrasna”, “Stvarno si joj nedostajao”, “Prekrasna obitelj”, pisali su korisnici TikToka u komentarima ispod videa.

NA KRAJU godine mnogi brendovi, trgovine, ali i preprodavači vole otkriti koji su proizvodi bili najpopularniji među potrošačima. Tako je Nike otkrio svojih pet najpoželjnijih tenisica u SAD-u u 2023., LYST, tvrtka za modnu tehnologiju i šoping-aplikacija, nedavno je otkrila popularne marke, proizvode i trendove koji su dominirali ovom godinom, a isto je napravio i StockX.
Ako niste čuli za StockX, radi se o online platformi na kojoj se preprodaju odjeća i obuća, a vjerojatno glavni artikl su tenisice. “Na StockX-u kupci i prodavači mogu davati anonimne ponude za širok izbor obuće, odjeće, elektronike i kolekcionarskih predmeta”, stoji na stranici.
StockX u svom izvješću ističe proizvode koji su oblikovali tržište preprodaje i postavili nove rekorde u 2023., ali također sagledava pojmove koji su se pretraživali za ovu blagdansku sezonu, specifične robne marke, kolaboracije i sl. Izdvajamo ključne naglaske ovog izvješća.
1. Trkača estetika – Nike Vomero 5, Asics Gel-1130 i New Balance 9060
2023. godinu obilježile su trkaće tenisice koje mnogi nose i za svaki dan. Tenisice koje prednjače u toj kategoriji prema StockX-u su Nike Vomero 5, Asics Gel-1130 i New Balance 9060. StockX ističe da je porast prometa za Nikeice bio 5104%, a za Asics model 1176%, a u odnosu na prošlu godinu.
“Pretraživanje weba i aplikacija za Nike Vomero poraslo je 1945% u odnosu na prethodnu godinu na StockX-u, dok je pretraživanje za Asics Gel-1130 skočilo za 997%.

Njihovo trgovanje je skočilo za 744% u 2023., dok su pretraživanja porasla za više od 1000%”, piše StockX.
Čak 10 milijuna dolara su potrošači u posljednjih 12 mjeseci izdvojili za New Balance 9060 model, a silueta – koja je predstavljena 2022. – brzo je postala jedan od New Balance stilova s najvećim prometom na StockX-u.
2. adidas i retro modeli
Adidas je na dobitku zahvaljujući modelima poput Campusa 00s, Gazella, Sambe i drugim retro stilovima. “Kulturno nasljeđe i bezvremenski dizajn pokazali su se vrijednima za adidas, jer su siluete spomenutih tenisica pogurale marku do dvoznamenkastog rasta na StockX-u 2023.”, piše u izvješću.
Prema izvješću, model Campus 00s je oborio sve rekorde ove godine sa “šesteroznamenkasto postotnim rastom na StockX-u u 2023., a kupci su potrošili više od 8 milijuna dolara na tenisice u samo posljednjih 12 mjeseci.”

Porast prodaje i pretrage u 2023. doživio je i model Handball Spezial. “Ovo slijedi nastavak uspjeha adidasovih Samba i Gazelle silueta. Oba su stila zabilježila troznamenkasti rast trgovine u 2023., nadmašivši rekordnu prodaju u 2022.”, ističe StockX.
3. UGG i meteorski uspon uoči blagdanske sezone
UGG nastavlja dobru prodajnu sezonu, a StockX ističe da se nove boje i željeni stilovi brzo rasprodaju. Posebnu popularnost uživaju Tasman i Tazz papuče brenda. “Pretraživanja za Ugg Tasman i Ugg Tazz porasla su za 2340%, odnosno 1340%. UGG je na korak da postavi novi trgovinski rekord svih vremena u 2023. i ostaje najbrže rastuća robna marka u StockX-ovoj kategoriji obuće”, piše u izvješću.
4. Crocs i klasična klompa Mater
Crocs je u listopadu izbacio klompe Mater, slaveći lik iz Pixarovog filma iz 2006. Automobili. Crocs Mater Clog zabilježio je više trgovanja u tjednu od bilo koje druge Crocsove suradnje u povijesti StockX-a, a kupci su potrošili više od 465.000 dolara na klompe od njihovog puštanja u prodaju.
Crocs je također doživio uspjeh s drugim izdanjima inspiriranim likovima ove godine, uključujući Shreka i Hello Kitty. Sve tri suradnje uvrštene su među najuspješnija Crocs izdanja na StockX-u u 2023.
5. Mnogi su na listu želja na StockX-u stavili Jordan 1, Jordan 4 i Nike Dunk
Predstavljena upravo na vrijeme za blagdansku kupovinu, StockX Lista nova je značajka koja korisnicima daje mogućnost sastavljanja popisa proizvoda koje žele podijeliti s obitelji i prijateljima.

6. Nove marke odjeće bilježe porast popularnosti
Osnovne marke ulične odjeće, kao što su Fear of God i Supreme, i dalje su među robnim markama odjeće kojima se najviše trguje na StockX-u, ali platforma bilježi ogroman interes za nove sudionike, kao što su Hellstar, Denim Tears i Trapstar.
Tako su pretraživanja za Hellstar porasla za više od 12.000%.

Experience is the new name of the game. Rather than just sit and gawk at a screen with a tub of popcorn for steadily diminishing company, it’s all going to get more experiential and sensory from here. A fire rages on screen and your seat heats up; images of snowfall are paired with gusts of chilled air; an explosion in a film is felt like a blast. It’s almost like you are in the film, thanks to haptics and AR. The olfactory barrier may be breached too. A pepperoni pizza slice on screen could have you salivating in darkness because you would be able to smell the melted cheese and wood-baked smokiness.
Theatre of Sensation The year 2023 with its big-ticket releases and blockbusters has shown that theatrical watching is here to stay. But it will surely become more immersive. It will be like visiting a theme park with custom rides. Movie-watching will become more like a game with a narrative; the line between the two is going to be completely blurred.
This is like watching a movie with a game console, where you would be able to choose the language you would like to watch the film in, creating a personalised cinematic experience. Oculus Rift—a set of virtual reality goggles that lets you experience games as if you were in them—is currently working to reproduce real-world environments for movie-goers. You might even be able to choose your camera angle to view the action from a different angle on your device.
How about the narrative? AI sensors would read your mood, and accordingly change the plotline—if you are sad, it will end the film on a happy note, or if you don’t like a character, it will kill the character in the next scene. You basically get to make your own film. You could also insert an avatar of yourself into a film you like.
Over the Top The in-home movie-watching experience is also going to evolve. Picture this: You log into your preferred OTT platform but instead of you weeding through a haystack of content to come up with the needle you want, the AI-integrated system will be able to read what your mood is and throw up suggestions complementing the same. The system would be clued into personal social media accounts, making suggestions more targeted. Also, the content would be available from any corner of the world. Subtitles would be passé. A voice command would be enough to stream content in any required language. The Cloud may be the next streaming platform. One would be able to buy films and send them directly to your preferred cloud storage account to watch on the go without it interfering with the space on your device or without you having to log in to your OTT account. Also, OTT may go to the movies. Imagine watching a six-part Game of Thrones on the large screen with your friends every weekend? The mantra for the future will be: the bigger, the better.
Lights, Camera, Action For artistes, performing to a live audience may become more customized with the metaverse stepping into the picture. A musician or singer, for instance, could control lights and atmosphere as per the beats of the music or by using his voice. A low decibel would automatically bring on softer lights, while a loud pulsating music would bring in laser lights and colour pops, making the entire experience more immersive. Artistes like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and others will be performing in the metaverse, or at least their avatars would. You could even have these avatars perform exclusively for you and your loved ones on special occasions—a new take on personalised playlists and DJs. The audience would have the controls to change the stage props into whatever they like—Barbie world, tropic jungle or the galaxy. And with AI entering the picture, maybe artistes won’t be needed at all. Imagine having The Beatles belt out new songs in the future. The AI would be able to mimic their personal styles and curate new music.
Game On As far as gaming is concerned, it will be a marriage between the metaverse and customisation. Users would be able to control the narrative. Let’s say on reaching a certain point in the game, you would want to explore a side story, something not originally a part of the game, the player would be able to do so and personalise the game and how it proceeds further. For instance, rather than saving the princess in Mario, you would want to sell the castle, the interface would allow you to mould the game accordingly. The future won’t be anything; it’ll just be everything you want.
Go anywhere in the world where the Land Rover Defender built its reputation, and you will find original Defenders still adding to that reputation. Since Land Rover ended production and wasn’t able to secure exclusive rights to the design, not only has one of the most famous basic utility vehicles gotten even more popular in even more places, there are more people making more versions of it. In 2017, Jim Ratcliffe raised the floodgates in launching Ineos Automotive and the Grenadier SUV and Quartermaster pickup. In 2019, Poland’s Land Serwis began stamping Series 1 Defenders with original tooling and modern builds. In 2021, Connecticut’s Black Bridge Motors announced its Function restomod that has become the Mark IV and Mark X, these being Defender bodies on a JK-series Jeep Wrangler frame, powered by GM’s LS3, LT1, or LT4 engines. And now, for buyers who prefer to do such shopping west of the Mississippi, Utah’s Legend Motor Company is also working the Defender-Jeep mashup. The company’s Signature Series 001 sits a re-engineered Defender body on JK Wrangler underpinnings.
Whereas Black Bridge drapes the body-in-white with 3/8-inch aluminum panels, Legend hangs aluminum panels with custom Kevlar backing painted to match the exterior. The composite provides additional body protection, while Kevlar underbody panels lend protection to the vital bits. Engine choices are GM’s 6.2-liter LT4 V8 making 455 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, or the 6.2-liter LT4 V8 making 650 hp and 650 lb-ft, fed by a 22.5-gallon polyethelene fuel tank. An aluminum four-row radiator and two brushless electric fans help keep temperatures in control during summer outings. Either engine shifts through a GM eight-speed transmission, sending output through an Atlas II transfer case with a 3.8:1 low gear. A Fox 2.5-inch adjustable shocks with remote reservoirs flexes Dana 60 HD axles with ARB air lockers front and rear. The footwear poking beyond the flared arches is 17-inch steelies wrapped in 37-inch BFG Mud-Terrains.
We’ve seen enough restomods and SEMA Show cars to be familiar with the interior treatment: Custom Legend Motor gauges; a billet steering column that tilts; hand-sewn aniline leather for the front- and second-row buckets, and cargo-area jump seats; modern HVAC and Bluetooth audio; leather-trimmed floor mats, and so on.
Standard fit slides on a fabric top, bolts on a full-sized spare in back, and offers five colors. Price starts at $250,000. The real question is whether you want your license plates issued in Connecticut or Utah.
Long-term investors can buy the shares are Jubilant Pharmova (₹545.75) at current levels. The stock made a low of ₹268.60 in March and has risen well from there. It indicates that the downtrend has reversed. This rise from the above mentioned low has happened from a strong long-term trendline support. This also strengthens the case for a trend reversal. Immediate support is at ₹480. Below that ₹350-280 is a broad support zone. Looking at the big picture, Jubilant Pharmova share price can target ₹950-1,050 over the next one-two years. Investors with a minimum time-frame of one year can buy Jubilant Pharmova now. Accumulate on dips at ₹490. Keep a stop-loss at ₹285 initially. Trail the stop-loss up to ₹590 as soon as the stock moves up to ₹780. Move the stop-loss further up to ₹820 when the price touches ₹880. Exit the long positions at ₹950.
The fortnight that went by was dominated by Father’s Day campaigns showing how much moment marketing drives ad content these days.
Recipes for the perfect dad
Godrej came out with a witty campaign — #PerfectForDadRecipe — that pays an ode to fathers across the world and bats for new age sans-bias parenting. It highlights a father’s invaluable contributions in the kitchen and challenges stereotypes associated with parenting roles.
With the integration of Godrej products, the campaign showcases an exclusive Father’s Day dish, ‘The Misunderstood DadPlatter’. Conceptualised and executed by the Godrej Group’s Corporate Brand and Communications team along with Creativeland Asia, the campaign shows a father dishing up some quick snacks, sharing the recipe of both the dish as well as breaking biases.
Providing inspiration
SBI Life’s Father’s Day digital campaign #PapaHaiNa salutes every father who strives to rise above challenges and serve as an inspiration to his children.
The digital film opens showcasing Ritika; a 15-year-old daughter, passionate about football, who suffers a knee injury during a match, undergoes surgery and rehabilitation. Despite her father Deepak’s concerns around the risks involved, she secretly resumes training. The protective father rails at her only to be stumped when she says she learnt about commitment and determination from him.
Made by Dentsu Creative, the film’s standout point is the use of AI in the flashback sequences.
A watch is enough
Cheil India’s new film for Samsung shows how consumers can leave behind their phone when wearing the Galaxy Watch with LTE.
The film captures the story of a young man who is intrigued by the ability of the Galaxy Watch to function independently of a phone in a lively office setting.
His curiosity leads to a series of scenarios where he tests the connectivity limit of the smartwatch. From teleporting across the office to receiving messages in a taxi and streaming a live match on a raft, he is awed by the unbelievable connectivity. While standing next to an elephant in a remote jungle, he livestreams music on his smartwatch. In a dark cave, the smartwatch surprises him with its navigation capabilities, and he receives a call even in an empty desert.
The film certainly meets the campaign brief of telling the world that no matter how far you go without your phone, the Samsung’s smartwatch – the Galaxy Watch with LTE — will keep you connected.
ODRŽAVANJE motivacije može biti izazovno jer vanjski čimbenici i svakodnevni pritisci često priguše entuzijazam koji je potaknuo novogodišnje odluke. Međutim, praktične strategije mogu značajno povećati vjerojatnost pridržavanja novogodišnjih odluka, osobito onih koje se odnose na zdravlje i dobrobit.
U intervjuu za Hindustan Times, opstetričarka i ginekologinja, Ritu Sethi, predložila je nekoliko savjeta koji nam mogu pomoći da tijekom cijele godine ostanemo usredotočeni na svoje ciljeve i opće dobro.
1. Brinite o mentalnom zdravlju
Važno je osvijestiti si važnost održavanja mentalnog zdravlja. Kako bismo lakše upravljali stresom i brigama, možemo početi prakticirati meditaciju ili aktivnosti i hobije koji nas opuštaju.
2. Unosite dovoljno tekućine
Hidracija organizma ključna je za cjelokupno zdravlje. Kako bismo dnevno pili dovoljno vode, možemo koristiti višekratnu bocu kao podsjetnik.
3. Pripremajte obroke
Važno je da hranjive obroke planiramo unaprijed i razmislimo o pripremi obroka kako bismo osigurali zdrave prehrambene navike. Dostupnost zdravih opcija može spriječiti oslanjanje na manje hranjive alternative.
4. Redovito vježbajte
Kako bi tjelovježba postala pozitivan dio naše rutine, trebamo se baviti aktivnostima u kojima uživamo. Bilo da je riječ o hodanju, plesu ili jogi, važno je da pronađemo aktivnosti koje su u skladu s našim interesima.
5. Slavite male pobjede
Bez obzira koliko mali bili, važno je da slavimo svoje uspjehe. Prepoznavanje postignuća može pomoći u održavanju motivacije.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
6. Učite iz zastoja
Zastoji i pauze prirodni su dio procesa. Umjesto da se obeshrabrimo, možemo ih iskoristiti kao prilike za učenje.
7. Uključite odluke u dnevnu rutinu
Uspješna provedba odluka često ovisi o njihovom integriranju u svakodnevnu rutinu. Što se odluke bolje uklapaju u naš životni stil, lakše ćemo ih se držati.
8. Vizualizirajte uspjeh
Vizualizacija može biti moćan alat za održavanje fokusa i motivacije. Trebamo pokušati stvoriti mentalnu sliku sebe kako postižemo svoje ciljeve.
Kako bismo ostali usredotočeni na održavanje svojeg zdravlja u novoj godini, prioritetno je brinuti o mentalnom zdravlju, uključiti tjelovježbu i slaviti male pobjede.
Važno je da odluke integriramo u dnevnu rutinu i vizualiziramo uspjeh kako bismo održali motivaciju. Slijedeći ove savjete, možemo ostati posvećeni poboljšanju svoje dobrobiti tijekom cijele godine.

South Africa fast-bowler Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out of the second Test against India starting on January 3 after developing pelvic inflammation during the first Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion. Cricket South Africa (CSA) said in a statement that Coetzee, 23, experienced discomfort in his pelvis, which got progressively worse while bowling on day three of the match. He underwent scans on Friday which revealed the extent of the injury. ‘India Are One of the Most Underachieving Cricket Teams in the World’ Says Former England Cricketer Michael Vaughan.
It added that head coach Shukri Conrad has opted to release Coetzee from the squad as a precautionary measure, with no replacement named for him in the squad. Apart from Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Nandre Burger, South Africa have other pace-bowling options in Lungi Ngidi and Wiaan Mulder.
Coetzee had figures of 1/74 & 0/28 apart from making 19 with the bat as South Africa thrashed India by an innings and 32 runs inside three days in Centurion to take a 1-0 lead in the two-game series. South Africa had previously lost skipper Temba Bavuma to left hamstring injury sustained on the opening day of the Centurion Test, with batter Zubayr Hamza named as his replacement for the New Year’s Test at Newlands in Cape Town. ‘Winner Is a Dreamer Who Never Gives Up’ Ravindra Jadeja Poses with Statue of Nelson Mandela in South Africa, Shares Pictures on Instagram.

HYDERABAD: This year, the food industry has experienced remarkable growth, propelled by the innovative contributions of inspiring young entrepreneurs and chefs. They’ve transformed the landscape by offering incredible culinary experiences and creating spaces where people can cherish quality moments with their loved ones. As the year draws to a close, we endeavoured to connect with a handful of these talented youngsters who embarked on their careers in the food industry and have achieved notable success.
Yash Trivedi and Kush Trivedi, Lord Of The Drinks
S S Deepak Pragana
Lord Of The Drinks, renowned for its exceptional ambiance, cuisine, and beverages, stands as the most frequented spot in the city. In our conversation with Yash Trivedi and Kush Trivedi, the Managing Directors of Innato Hospitality and the innovative minds behind LOTD, they share their deep passion for the industry. Yash emphasises, “Over the past year, numerous new establishments, including ours, have emerged, and in the coming six months, several more are set to open. The constant factor remains the quality of your offering. Our clientele spans diverse classes, posing a challenge in maintaining and captivating such a varied audience. While our name suggests a focus on drinks, we take immense pride in our culinary mastery. To dispel any misconceptions, our social media platforms predominantly showcase our food, which has undeniably become the cornerstone of LOTD.”
Surya Kumar
Further adding, “Reflecting on our journey, we embraced the LOTD brand in November 2019, and despite the hurdles posed by the pandemic, we transformed an empty piece of land in July 2022 into the vibrant establishment unveiled to the public in April 2023. Surpassing our initial expectations, the scale of success astonished us. Looking ahead, we aim for more intimate spaces, deviating from the grandeur. Plans are underway for a Pan Asian restaurant, alongside ventures into North Indian Mughlai cuisine. Additionally, we are crafting two unique brands, slated for launch in Hyderabad and Goa. This endeavour has always been a passion project, born from our unwavering commitment. Our journey involved learning the intricacies of the industry backend through collaborations with Swiggy and Zomato, culminating in the creation of LOTD. Ultimately, our vision and dedication have steered us toward realizing our dreams, propelling us toward new horizons in the ever-evolving culinary landscape.”
S S Deepak Pragana, Mirai Bar and Kitchen
S S Deepak Pragana, the Managing Director of Mirai Bar and Kitchen, shares insights into his journey within the food industry, “The year 2023 commenced with promising transformations that significantly impacted our lifestyles. However, as the year drew to a close, the F&B industry encountered challenges due to escalating competition, somewhat dampening its earlier successes. Over the past year, the F&B sector has dominated the start-up and investment landscape. Hyderabad, in particular, has witnessed an astonishing metamorphosis in its F&B scene, boasting world-class clubs and an array of global cuisines served in opulent settings. As a young entrepreneur juggling various business domains, the final three months of 2023 proved to be a whirlwind of experiences, providing abundant learning opportunities. This industry aligns closely with my age group, allowing me to leverage customer feedback effectively. Challenges in the start-up realm are invigorating, offering vital insights into market realities. Yet, within Hyderabad’s established F&B arena, the primary hurdles revolve around maintaining consistency, fostering customer relationships, and integrating feedback effectively. In an increasingly competitive landscape, possessing a unique selling proposition (USP) and preserving it consistently remains paramount.”
Surya Kumar, Executive Chef- Voila, Jubilee Hills
Surya Kumar, Executive Chef at Voila with a rich history of serving across diverse culinary destinations, reflects on this year’s experiences in the industry. “This year has been a treasure trove of memories, particularly while contributing to various food festivals in the culturally rich city of Hyderabad. My journey has been marked by exploring and innovating with diverse cuisines like Kashmiri, Telangana, Andhra, Punjabi, and Chettinadu, setting a benchmark for future culinary endeavours. Hyderabad, known for its vibrant cultural tapestry, offers an invaluable learning ground for local cuisines, providing insights crucial for future culinary investments and employment prospects within the hospitality industry. The city’s penchant for a lavish lifestyle, especially during weekends, presents an opportune arena for enhancing our culinary presentations. Investing in creative approaches to food presentation becomes pivotal in captivating guests across a spectrum of cuisines, thereby offering ample room for improvement and innovation,” the chef concludes.
Life Insurance Corporation of India’s has reduced its shareholding in Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd to 9.617 per cent from 11.701 per cent.
In a disclosure to the exchanges, LIC said it sold the shares at an average price of ₹79.58 through secondary market between June 2019 and December 2023.
While shares of BHEL closed 0.44 per cent higher at ₹193.45, that of LIC edged up 0.79 per cent at ₹833.30 on the BSE.
Elon Musk recently challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a ‘çage fight’ — a fight in a cage I guess — and the result was declared on July 5th.
Zuck won hands down. He blew Musk — and his $44 billion social media toy, Twitter away. Last heard, Musk had sued Zuck for copying.
So, as most people probably know unless they’ve been living under a very large rock, the Instagram-fuelled Threads is where everyone is headed. It has disrupted social media, and how? Just when we were sharing memes on how Facebook had lost the plot, Zuck claims he got 10 million sign-ups in the first few hours, and he’s probably telling the truth. There were reports of 30 million users within two days.
Truth be told, when my boss asked me what I thought of Threads, I quickly replied “Boring. Seems like Twitter announcing something exciting and new in 2015.”
The big deal
Ad/Marketing/Comms folks often get the deeper motives wrong, miss the wood for the trees, and my reaction was classic evidence. Yes, it’s kind of boring, yes it’s very 2015, but — also yes — it sweeps the carpet from under Twitter’s feet. And that’s the real deal.
So here’s the dope, in my humble opinion; I am happy to be corrected as usual.
Elon Musk had taken a lot of wrong calls since he took over Twitter. These calls were erratic at best, the result being ad revenues on the platform are now down by 25 per cent, the Twitter Blue experiment backfired (every aunt and uncle can buy a Blue tick, obliterating perfectly good content), and Twitter lost 2/3rd of its value since Musk took over.
Zuck was in hot water too recently, if you remember. Metaverse is allegedly a major flop (those Pragati Maidan headsets were cool though), there were major privacy concerns — in fact Facebook had rebranded itself to Meta, to avoid some of the flack.
The perfect storm
It made perfect sense for Zuck to launch a full-frontal attack on Twitter. As my school football coach used to say, “Offence is the best defence.”
What also helped is Meta is allegedly good at copying: some claim they are good at cloning rival features, not unlike some Bollywood composers from the 90s. Insta Stories was allegedly influenced by Snapchat Stories, Reels was allegedly influenced by TikTok, and now it’s Threads/Twitter. Also, 87 per cent of Twitter is already on Insta, so that’s a brilliant headstart. Start-up CEOs throw parties when they reach 10,000 sign-ups, this is 10 million in a few hours. Cocaine on a silver spoon.
Oh and there’s also AI. This is money for jam for Meta, what with the online text data from Threads. Finally, here is why I think the advertising dollars will be flowing into Meta’s coffers:
Network: The integration with Instagram’s existing user base gives Threads a deep advantage by leveraging the massive user base and the network effect of Instagram.
Immersive: The visual nature of Instagram, combined with Threads’ focus on photos and videos, creates a more immersive and engaging messaging experience compared to Twitter.
Friends: The app’s focus on close friends and smaller groups allows for more intimate and private conversations, a delight for advertisers.
Will Twitter put up a fight? Funnily enough, they don’t need to. Twitter users (like me) are faithful. Only 4 per cent leave every year, so they are fine. And Insta users are as similar to Twitter users as chalk and cheese.
Elon could still have the last word.

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

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

Priopćili su da je udomljeno 598 životinja, dok je 125 lutalica ponovo spojeno sa svojim vlasnicima. Sklonište je bilo gotovo popunjeno početkom prosinca prije nego što su ga ispraznili oko Božića.
No, taman kada je vijest o praznom skloništu izašla, stigla im je jedna mačka.

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

Missha je jedan od popularnijih korejskih brendova za njegu lica, a njihova maska za lice s ekstraktom krastavca namijenjena je masnoj i mješovitoj koži koju umiruje i hidratizira. Nu-Pore maska s ekstraktom hibiskusa djeluje protuupalno.

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

How to find the best monitor for video editing?
Selecting the best monitor for video editing is a critical decision that directly impacts the quality of your work. To find the best display, consider buying from a brand with a history of making monitors. First and foremost, prioritize colour accuracy and a wide colour gamut to ensure precise reproduction of the picture. Consider monitors with high resolutions, such as 4K, for detailed image rendering. Panel technology matters too, IPS panels offer accurate colours and wide viewing angles making them perfect for video editing tasks. HDR support enhances dynamic range, while a fast refresh rate reduces motion blur. Consider connectivity options and ergonomic features like adjustable stands for a comfortable workspace. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from professionals in your field can provide valuable insights. Ultimately, finding the best monitor for video editing requires balancing technical specifications with your specific workflow and budget constraints.
FAQs

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

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

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

Doing these roundups is always fun. Flipping through the pages of stories written in a year is kind of like going through a photo album. And this year was full of some wild memories driving amazing cars in astonishing places. I even ticked off a couple of bucket-list items, and was happy to bring you along for the ride. So for one more time this year, let’s play the hits.
Super Subarus in Sicily: Tracing the Targo Florio in the BRZ tS and WRX TR
Sliding in at the end of the year was a wild whirlwind of a trip on one of the most historic driving routes in the world. And it turns out that the BRZ and WRX are just about perfect for the job, or any sporty job.
Daikoku Parking Area in Tokyo is a must-visit for car fans
This was easily my favorite thing I did this year, and it came at the end of a really excellent week in Tokyo. For years I’ve wanted to visit Daikoku PA, as it’s a hot spot for car enthusiasts to meet and show off in the Tokyo area. It didn’t disappoint. Great cars and meeting a friend all made it a shoe-in for my highlight of the year.
We test Toyota’s manual EV prototype for the first time, and it’s freaky
Part of that fantastic week in Tokyo involved experiencing the wildest technological magic trick I’ve experienced. An EV, with a single speed, was drivable, and convincing, as a six-speed manual internal combustion car. I don’t know what practical use there is for it, but it was cool to experience.
Toyota Neo Steer Prototype First Drive Review: Feet-free motoring is pretty groovy
Another fascinating prototype I drove from Toyota was one that was fully hand-controlled. It worked impressively well, and seems like a great option for people with limited use of their legs. It also was my first experience with fast-ratio steer-by-wire, and I came away quite liking it.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Review: One of the best arcade racers gets better
I’m bringing this up because this was my favorite racing game I played this year. Yes, I enjoyed it more than “Forza Motorsport.” You should give it a try.
Toyota EPU is a Maverick-sized electric pickup we really want
Toyota, I want this. You need to build it. That’s why it’s on my list. Build. It.
VW ID. GTI has lines that connect it to … an Oldsmobile
Did you know the ID. GTI (and past GTIs) have some interesting design inspirations? Now you will. And we’re glad to report this one is already confirmed for production.
Audi R8 Quattro Final Drive: A fast farewell
It was very brief (just two laps), but ripping an R8 around such a famous track as Laguna Seca (chasing a multiple Le Mans champion) was an unforgettable (and obviously fun) experience.
McPherson College’s first Pebble Beach entry wins second in class
I graduated from McPherson College, and I was glad to have been able to see the college bring home an award from Pebble Beach. A lot of work went into that car.
1965 Apollo GT from ‘The Love Bug’ going to auction
Short of an actual (or really good replica) “Herbie,” the yellow Apollo GT or “Thorndyke Special” would be the car I’d want from one of my all-time favorite movies, “The Love Bug.” It was fun to dream a little, and to learn that one of the movie cars still exists.
2023 VW Jetta Review: Quality commuter for the cost-conscious
It feels like the number of really affordable cars is shrinking quickly, especially fun ones. So it was a wonderful surprise to discover that a basic Jetta with a manual transmission is a cheerful little budget machine, and one with enough refinement to feel like it’s not a budget machine.
Hyundai reimagines pixel art with Ioniq 6 design details
Auto shows often give us a chance to get familiar with cars that might not have reached our driveways for testing. And that time allowed me to discover some of the more sneaky design details of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, as well as test some theories I had about all those little pixel squares everywhere. And then later, I learned that the 6 is one of my favorite E-GMP cars.
The Friday morning market opened with a decline, following the positive start earlier in the week. NSE Nifty was down by 0.21 per cent, or 46.55 points, at 21,732, while the BSE Sensex was at 72,229.87, down by 0.24 per cent or 178 points.
A total of 3,089 stocks were actively traded, with 1,852 advancing, 1,145 declining, and 92 remaining unchanged at 10 am on Friday. Additionally, 169 stocks reached a 52-week high and 10 stocks reached a 52-week low.
Makarand M Joshi, Founder of MMJC & Associates, a corporate compliance firm, shared insights on the Consultation Paper on Amendments to SEBI Regulations regarding the verification of market rumours. He clarified, “SEBI’s proposal on the verification of market rumours would help bring parity to the markets. The new initiative, primarily aimed at price protection, introduces a mechanism to mitigate the impact of speculative rumours or media discussions on stock valuations before official company announcements.”
Also read: Index Outlook: Nifty 50, Sensex: Uptrend is intact
SEBI’s proposals ensure that if market movements are influenced by unofficial information, the period during which this information is confirmed by the company will be excluded from the share valuation formula.
Essentially, what began as a measure for rumour verification and investor protection has evolved into a complementary framework certifying the legitimacy of market deals. These proposals by SEBI would help curtail mischiefs played with respect to market rumours.”
Top gainers on the NSE at 10 am include Tata Consumer Products Ltd (3.23 per cent), Tata Motors Ltd (2.14 per cent), Eicher Motors Ltd (1.22 per cent), Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (0.70 per cent), and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (0.42 per cent).

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

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

KAD NEKI psi vide svoj odraz u ogledalu, oduševljeni su. Međutim, jedno užasnuto štene nije moglo podnijeti pomisao na uljeza kojeg je ugledalo pa je odmah nasrnulo na njega. Vlasnica je bila uzbuđena što je postavila ogledalo u svoj dom, ali njezin pas Sarge imao je druge planove.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
U urnebesnom videu na TikToku koji je objavila korisnica pod imenom @allthings_sarge, ogromno ogledalo završilo je na podu s nekoliko velikih pukotina u sredini. Uz snimku se našalila kako nestašni američki buldog “misli da je vidio drugog psa” te da ga je jednostavno “morao otjerati”.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
UMJETNA inteligencija sada može otkriti je li luksuzni predmet – lažnjak. Tehnološka tvrtka Entrupy kaže da njezin uređaj može provjeriti autentičnost torbi marki poput Chanel, Balenciaga, Burberry, Gucci i Louis Vuitton, ali i drugih komada poput Nike i adidas tenisica, kako bi se osiguralo da kupci kupuju pravu stvar.
Trenutno je ovaj alat dostupan samo preprodavačima luksuzne robe, a tvrtka osnovana 2012. kaže da su njezinu AI tehnologiju od 2020. koristile stotine preprodavača vintage proizvoda. Nedavno je Entrupy postao i službeni autentifikator za novopokrenuti izbor luksuznih torbi TikTok Shopa.
Kako točno Entrupy radi?
Ova AI tehnologija, prema tvrtki, ima stopu točnosti od 99.1 posto jer može uočiti stvari koje ljudsko oko ne može. No kako Entrupy zapravo radi?
Softver tvrtke traži da mu se pošalju fotografije proizvoda iz svih mogućih kutova. Za torbe tehnologija koristi mikroskopske leće visoke rezolucije. Ovo daje bliži pogled na sve, od zakrivljenog ruba dizajnerske pločice i logotipa do zrnaca kože i serijskog broja.
Te se pojedinosti zatim uspoređuju s informacijama koje su prikupljene tijekom vremena, a koje se zatim mogu pripisati određenom tvorničkom ili serijskom broju kako bi se potvrdila njihova autentičnost.
Za provjeru autentičnosti tenisica, sustav koristi makro leću za snimanje obuće, vraćajući se na autentične stilove i visokokvalitetne lažne primjerke koje ima kao reference u bazi podataka. Sam proces je relativno brz.
Dobije se i potvrda o autentičnosti
Nakon skeniranja predmeta i podnošenja svih traženih informacija u Entrupyjev sustav, u roku od nekoliko minuta sazna se je li proizvod originalan ili fejk. Međutim, ovisno o stilu i rijetkosti, moglo bi potrajati i dulje. Nakon što se utvrdi da je predmet originalan, dobiva se i potvrda o autentičnosti.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Cijela poanta ovoga je podići povjerenje i učiniti ga provjerljivim od treće strane”, rekao je Vidyuth Srinivasan, suosnivač i izvršni direktor Entrupyja, za Elle u nedavnom intervjuu. “Potrošač mora biti siguran da nije samo (jedna) osoba koja kaže da je nešto autentično, već da postoji i treća strana koja nema veze s transakcijom i koja to potvrđuje.”
Krivotvorine postaju sve sofisticiranije
Ovo je posebno važno jer krivotvorine postaju sve sofisticiranije. Ranije ove godine, Cartier je izjavio da više neće ovjeravati svoje najprodavanije LOVE narukvice. Krivotvorine su postale toliko dobre da luksuzna robna marka ne može dokazati da su legendarni dizajni originalni i, kao rezultat toga, antikvarijati poput Muerta & Co. sa sjedištem u San Franciscu nisu voljni smatrati ih pravim.
“Većina ih ljudi više neće niti kupiti kao autentične osim ako nemate originalni račun, papirologiju i dokaz da ste vi izvorni vlasnik ili da vam je darovan od kupca u Cartieru. Vrlo je teško dokazati jesu li prave ili ne”, izjavila je u viralnom videu osoba koja vodi TikTok profil antikvarijata Mureta & Co.
Iako su dodaci najpogođenija kategorija kada su u pitanju krivotvorine, Entrupy za sada provjerava samo autentičnost dizajnerskih torbi i tenisica poznatih marki. “Uvijek pazimo na nove kategorije u kojima vidimo visok rizik”, kaže Srinivasan.
“Jer da biste pobijedili krivotvoritelje, morate razmišljati poput njih, što znači da idete tamo gdje oni idu, a oni idu tamo gdje je prodaja velika i nema propisa.” On se referira na više od 1.7 trilijuna dolara vrijednih neautentificiranih proizvoda koji trenutno kruže tržištem i koji su prošli ispod radara.
“Želimo osigurati da kupnja luksuznih predmeta bude glatko iskustvo”, kaže. “Ova integracija omogućuje nam nastavak naše misije zaštite tvrtki i potrošača od kupnje krivotvorenih proizvoda.”

When choosing the best smartwatch 90k from Garmin, there are a few key things to consider. First, think about what features are most important to you. Do you need a GPS watch to track your runs or hikes? Are you looking for a watch with built-in cellular connectivity so you can make calls and send texts without your phone?

AMOLED displays are good because they’re visible in sunlight. A good display should be bright and visible in sunlight. Other things to consider in smartwatches include features such as built-in pedometers, heart rate monitors, and accelerometers.

Knjiga postavlja temelje za program prehrane koji ostavlja zbunjenost po strani i pomaže u gubitku kilograma, kao i poboljšanju zdravlja. Efferdingova web-stranica kaže da je cilj dijete poboljšati metabolizam i cjelokupno zdravlje probavnog sustava.
“Temeljna načela vertikalne dijete mogu se i trebaju koristiti za poboljšanje i optimizaciju bilo kojeg programa prehrane”, stoji na web-stranici. Ipak, dijeta ima puno ograničenja.
Koju hranu možemo jesti na vertikalnoj dijeti?
Vertikalna dijeta obiluje crvenim mesom i bijelom rižom, uz određeno povrće. Glavne komponente prehrane uključuju crveno meso, bijelu rižu, povrće poput mrkve, krastavaca i špinata, jaja, punomasne mliječne proizvode te voće poput naranči i borovnica.
Koju hranu ne možemo jesti na vertikalnoj dijeti?
Dijeta preporučuje izbjegavanje smeđe riže, žitarica osim bijele riže, biljnih ulja, graha, kikirikija, graška, luka, češnjaka, kave, šećernog alkohola, povrća poput brokule i cvjetače te voća poput jabuka i krušaka.

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

Posljednji ovogodišnji sat Swatch i Omega su najavili na Instagramu, a ljudi su u komentarima podijeljenih mišljenja: “Nadam se da je posljednji”, “Nikad nisu dostupni”, “Najbolji u ovoj kolekciji je bio Neptune Gold”, “Super su”, “Prelijepo, treba mi”.
Sat će biti dostupan sutra u 88 gradova i 97 trgovina diljem svijeta. Mnogi kupci koje zanimaju satovi iz ove kolekcije razočarani su što ni posljednji neće biti dostupan online, već isključivo u fizičkim trgovinama. “Zašto ne omogućite online kupnju?”, “I dalje su dostupni samo u fizičkim trgovinama?” neki su od komentara.
Mission to the Moon ima traku s čičkom i kućište od biokeramike, promjera 42 mm i debljine 13.25 mm. Uređaj radi uz pomoć kvarcnog mehanizma i vodootpornost od tri bara. Očekivana cijena je oko 300 američkih dolara. Više o satu možete pronaći ovdje, a trgovine u kojima će biti dostupan pronađite na popisu.

Shares of the Mumbai-based Credo Brands Marketing, that owns the Mufti brand of clothing, will be listed on the bourses today.
The issue price has been fixed at ₹280. The ₹549.80-crore IPO is priced in a band of ₹266-280, and was subscribed 51.85 times.
The QIB portion was subscribed 105 times, while the HNI portion was bid 55.5 times, and that of retail investors nearly 20 times.
Ahead of the IPO opening, the company garnered ₹165 crore from anchor investors, including Nippon Mutual Fund, HSBC Mutual Fund, Aditya Birla Sunlife Insurance, Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, Integrated Core Strategies (Asia), Morgan Stanley Asia, SBI General Insurance, JM Mutual Fund, Subhkam Ventures, and Reliance General Insurance.
The funds raised will go to promoters and other sellers as the IPO was entirely an offer-for-sale by Kamal Khushlani, Poonam Khushlani, and Andrew Khushlani (promoters), and Concept Communication, Bela Properties, Jay Milan, and Sagar Milan (investor shareholders).
The company offers a range of products from shirts to T-shirts, jeans and Chinos. The products have a youthful appearance, while staying abreast of ongoing fashion trends.
Engaged in the retail sale of garments and accessories, the company does not manufacture any apparel. The brand “Mufti” was launched 25 years ago by the promoter, Kamal Khushlani.
Several angels have announced an investment of Rs 1.35 crore in the startup companies promoted by contestants appearing in the first week of the business reality show ‘Nenu Super Woman’ (I’m a Super Woman) on the OTT platform aha.

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

A marriage is considered to be a sacred union of two souls, and interestingly, in 2023, several Bollywood celebrities officially solemnised their relationship with the love of their lives.

Border Collie se često koriste u pastirskom poslu zbog svoje izvanredne sposobnosti kontrole stoke. Osim toga, odlični su u izvođenju trikova i sudjelovanju u raznim sportskim aktivnostima.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DOK SU NAŠI domovi ispunjeni smijehom i veseljem, možda nismo ni svjesni koliko opasnosti vreba naše ljubimce. Uprava za hranu i lijekove (FDA) objavila je osam stvari koje mogu naškoditi psima i mačkama.
Poslastice za kućne ljubimce
Tijekom blagdana broj posjeta veterinarima raste za 300 posto, izvještava Daily Mail. Kako se ljudi časte tako i svojim ljubimcima nude poslastice. Neki psi mogli bi zbog toga biti toliko uzbuđeni da poslasticu pojedu prebrzo, zbog čega im ona može zapeti u grlu i izazvati gušenje.
“Takvi su incidenti uobičajeni, osobito tijekom praznika, i opasni su po život. Ako vidite da je vaš pas izbezumljen te da slini i davi se, hitno trebate posjetiti veterinara”, napominje FDA.
Šljokice ili vrpce
Šljokice i vrpce koriste se za uljepšavanje domova i umatanje darova, a svojim svjetlucavim bojama privlače pse i mačke. Ako ih životinje pojedu, mogu se zapetljati u njihovom želucu i uzrokovati infekciju, navodi FDA.
Znakovi da je ljubimac progutao šljokice ili ukrasnu vrpcu mogu se pojaviti u roku od nekoliko sati do nekoliko dana, a najčešće uključuju povraćanje, proljev, gubitak apetita i smanjenu aktivnost.
Ukrasi od slanog tijesta
Ako dijete u vrtiću ili školi izradi ukras od slanog tijesta, vjerojatno ćete ga poželjeti staviti na svoje drvce, no on može otrovati ljubimce. Jedan slani ukras općenito sadrži 48 žličica soli ili 96 puta više nego što kućni ljubimac težak pet kilograma smije pojesti.
U ranim fazama trovanja solju kućni ljubimci mogu početi sliniti, povraćati i dobiti proljev. U kasnijim stadijima trovanje može dovesti do nekoordiniranog hodanja, učestalog mokrenja, dehidracije, pojačane žeđi, napadaja, kome i smrti.
Blagdanske ukrasne biljke
Dok su božićne zvijezde, imela i božikovina popularne blagdanske ukrasne biljke u mnogim domovima, FDA upozorava da bi mogle otrovati vaše ljubimce.

Ako pas ili mačka grickaju lišće ili stabljike božićne zvijezde, mogu patiti od slinjenja i proljeva. Lišće i stabljika imele također sadrže otrove koji mogu izazvati usporen rad srca i nizak krvni tlak.
Listovi božikovine sami po sebi nisu smrtonosni, ali jarko crvene bobice su prožete otrovom koji, kada se konzumira, može izazvati slinjenje, povraćanje, proljev, gubitak apetita i smanjenu aktivnost.
Ostaci hrane
Ako mački ili psu ponudite ostatke hrane, morate znati da to može dovesti do problema. Komadići kostiju mogu zapeti u grlu kućnih ljubimaca, uzrokujući gušenje. Oštri dijelovi također mogu uzrokovati ozljede usta, grla i želuca ili probušiti crijeva.
Čokolada
Čokolada je nezaobilazan dio blagdana, ali samo dva grama te poslastice mogu biti pogubna za psa srednje veličine. Psi ne mogu razgraditi toksin brzo kao ljudi, što ih čini osjetljivijima na njegove učinke. Simptomi trovanja čokoladom kod pasa uključuju povraćanje, proljev, nemir, hiperaktivnost, pojačano mokrenje i napadaje.
Vrećice čipsa
Prazne vrećice čipsa također predstavljaju opasnost za kućne ljubimce koji mogu nanjušiti miris hrane i zabadati glave unutra kako bi polizali ostatke. U nekim slučajevima vrećice im mogu zapeti na glavi, što ih dovodi u opasnost od gušenja.
Kako bi se to izbjeglo, FDA kaže da treba osigurati da se sve vrećice pravilno bace nakon upotrebe te da se ne ostavljaju tamo gdje ih kućni ljubimci mogu dohvatiti.
Opušci cigareta
Ako u svom domu imate goste i na stolu ostavite pepeljaru punu opušaka, pripazite na svog ljubimca. Psi mogu pojesti opuške i otrovati se nikotinom. Simptomi uključuju drhtavicu, slinjenje, povraćanje i proljev. Čak i male doze nikotina mogu uzrokovati napadaje, smanjenu aktivnost, usporeno disanje, usporen rad srca ili smrt.

KAD krenu pripreme za doček Nove godine, fokus je na garderobi. Mnogi se odlučuju za svečaniji, blještavi doček, s puno šljokica, a zvijezda večeri bi trebala biti torbica. Stoga smo pregledali ponudu u trgovinama i izdvojili blještave torbice za svečane prilike, idealne za sjajan doček Nove godine.
Sve je u detaljima
Male torbice s remenom vjerojatno su najpraktičnija opcija. Ove su godine vrlo popularne torbice koje kao da se sastoje od kamenčića i ničeg drugog, a dobra vijest je što su dostupne u trgovinama različitih cjenovnih rangova.
Nešto jednostavnija, a opet blještava opcija, srebrna je torbica koja čak djeluje futuristički.
Želite ili trebate nositi više stvari? U ponudi smo pronašli i veće svjetlucave torbe u koje će stati sve što vama i osobama kojima ste okruženi može zatrebati tijekom proslave. Ove su torbe dokaz da praktičnost i elegancija nisu isključive.

Ako pak namjeravate nositi samo ono što vam je potrebno, sasvim dovoljna će vam biti clutch torbica koje su već odavno sinonim za večernji izlazak. One često dolaze s remenom, što ih čini svestranima. Vaša je odluka kako ćete ih nositi.

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

Did the Wakhri idea strike you at the time of her death? What was the approach you decided to take in fictionalizing the character?
S S Deepak Pragana, the Managing Director of Mirai Bar and Kitchen, shares insights into his journey within the food industry, “The year 2023 commenced with promising transformations that significantly impacted our lifestyles. However, as the year drew to a close, the F&B industry encountered challenges due to escalating competition, somewhat dampening its earlier successes. Over the past year, the F&B sector has dominated the start-up and investment landscape. Hyderabad, in particular, has witnessed an astonishing metamorphosis in its F&B scene, boasting world-class clubs and an array of global cuisines served in opulent settings. As a young entrepreneur juggling various business domains, the final three months of 2023 proved to be a whirlwind of experiences, providing abundant learning opportunities. This industry aligns closely with my age group, allowing me to leverage customer feedback effectively. Challenges in the start-up realm are invigorating, offering vital insights into market realities. Yet, within Hyderabad’s established F&B arena, the primary hurdles revolve around maintaining consistency, fostering customer relationships, and integrating feedback effectively. In an increasingly competitive landscape, possessing a unique selling proposition (USP) and preserving it consistently remains paramount.”
