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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fermentirana hrana
Fermentirana hrana, poput kimchija, kiselog kupusa, kiselih krastavaca i kefira, bogata je probioticima koji blagotvorno djeluju na probavu i jačaju imunološki sustav.
Hrana bogata vlaknima
Kvinoja, divlja riža i slatki krumpir potiču redovito pražnjenje crijeva te na neki način pomažu održati ih pokretnima.
Omega-3 masne kiseline
Omega-3 masne kiseline smanjuju upalu u crijevima. Njima obiluju losos, skuša, sardine, inćuni, pastrva, orašasti plodovi, sjemenke lana, konoplje i chia sjemenke.

A very important part of Christmas celebrations is the Xmas tree. People across the world, who celebrate Christmas, decorate their own Christmas trees with gifts, bells and lights among other things with the intention for it to stand out and capture the spotlight of the celebrations. MS Dhoni’s house also had a very pretty Christmas tree this holiday season. Sakshi, the CSK captain’s wife, took to Instagram to share a video of the beautifully decorated tree which was adorned with several intricate decorations, that included balls of several sizes and also a big star right at the top. To top it off, the whole tree was wrapped with lights which enhanced its overall look big time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Siemens, in its analyst meet, highlighted growth opportunities across segments, plans to demerge its energy division, and plans to increase localization across segments. The company is optimistic about growth prospects in the domestic market across government and private capex. It is also positive about opportunities emerging from new areas such as semiconductors, batteries, and EVs.
Siemens has approved a capex of ₹416 crore for capacity addition for power transformers and vacuum interrupters. It also plans to improve localisation across segments as demand is strong. Localisation levels are still better for the energy, smart infrastructure and mobility segments; however, for digital industries, the company will remain dependent on imports from its parent. Siemens would still have near-term dependence on traded goods for the mobility segment, but has already embarked on localisation of component manufacturing for traction components for the mobility segment at its Nashik factory. These initiatives would gradually drive margin improvement.
We believe that near-term order inflows may be affected by the general election schedule; however, in the long term, order inflow prospects remain strong from transmission, railways, data centre, industrial automation, etc.
A potential demerger and listing of Siemens’s India Energy segment should open avenues for value-unlocking over the next two-three years. We marginally revise our estimates to bake in slightly better margins and expect the company to clock revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGRs of 16 per cent/18 per cent/19 per cent over FY23-26. We continue to value it at 55X P/E on two-year forward earnings and maintain our BUY rating with a TP of ₹4,600.
WhatsApp has launched its standalone app for smartwatches running on Wear OS. You can start new conversations, reply to messages and take calls — all from your wrist, and no longer need a phone to stay connected. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that WhatsApp will be available on even more devices in the future. The app that rolled out last week is compatible with smartwatches running on Google’s Wear OS3.

However, it forecasts that 64 per cent of spending will be online in 10 years’ time, according to consumer predictions. 68 per cent of global shoppers are now more comfortable with technology than last year.
Interestingly, 65 per cent of shoppers say they have discovered new brands and retailers as a consequence of work-from home.
Some interesting insights from the report are that “price might be king, but service is not far behind in importance”. The No 1 thing global consumers would change about online shopping is “faster delivery” with around 48 per cent of consumers wanting quicker delivery. The average amount of time global consumers expect to wait for their online orders to arrive is 2.15 days. Last year it was 2.36 days. What’s more, 23 per cent of consumers now expect delivery in less than 2 hours! Quick commerce players must be feeling quite justified!
Also, the report says one can’t underestimate the role marketplaces could play in the future. 51 per cent of global consumers are open to buying their energy, water and utilities from marketplaces like Amazon, Tmall and Mercado Libre. 42 per cent of global consumers are open to using a dating app provided by marketplaces like Amazon, Alibaba and Mercado Libre.
But the good news for physical retailers is that consumers identified physical stores as the number two channel for both inspiration and search.
ŽELITE li živjeti duže? Novo istraživanje utvrdilo je snažnu vezu između zdravlja srca i sporijeg biološkog starenja. Naime, prema rezultatima studije Sveučilišta Columbia u New Yorku, u kojoj je sudjelovalo 6500 odraslih osoba, otkriveno je da su osobe zdravog srca oko šest godina biološki mlađe od svoje kronološke dobi.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The company’s ongoing capacity expansion at its subsidiary UCWL (Udaipur Cement Works Ltd) of a 2.5 mtpa grinding unit is progressing well and is expected to commercialise in Q1-FY25. The clinker unit (1.5 mtpa) is already operational and getting stabilised. Clinker produced at UCWL will be used by JKLC for grinding
The company also announced the setting up of a grinding unit in Surat of 1.35 mtpa at a capital cost of ₹220 crore, which is to be funded out of a mix of internal accrual and debt. Out of 1.35 mtpa, 0.70 mtpa will become operational by Q3-FY25, and the balance 0.65 mtpa by Q1-FY26. The railway siding work at Durg Plant is going on as per plan.
The company is working on many levers, such as optimising geo-mix, higher production and sale of blended cement, an increasing proportion of trade sales, premium and value-added products, logistic efficiency, and the use of more renewable power, to increase its EBITDA/tonne to a four-digit number in the next 12 to 18 months.
Cement demand is expected to remain robust on the back of higher government thrust on developing infrastructure, better real estate demand, private Capex, and higher individual home builders demand.
Retailers witnessed lower than anticipated growth during the recently-concluded festival season.
As per the latest survey released by Retailers Association of India (RAI), retail players garnered an average growth of 7 per cent in October and November compared to the same period in 2022. The growth was led by high-value products while demand for low-value products was muted.
“Retailers had anticipated double-digit sales growth during the puja and Diwali season in October and November 2023; however, the sales growth has been muted for many retailers. Most retailers have indicated that footfalls were not even equal to 2022 though sales were just about the same as in the previous year. Many retailers, especially in the apparel category, only grew sales over last year because of new store openings and online sales. While like-for-like store business was negative for more than 50 per cent of the retailers surveyed,” said Kumar Rajagopalan, CEO, Retailers Association of India (RAI), said,
Flattish sales
Sakshi Suneja, Vice-President & Sector Head – Corporate Ratings, ICRA Ltd, echoed a similar sentiment. “While there has been a sequential uptick in performance of the fashion retail sector in the last quarter of CY2023, led by festive and wedding season demand, ICRA’s channel check suggests that the same remained flattish vis-à-vis last year’s festive season sales,” she said in a statement.
“Retailers did witness a growth in high-value products. Jewellery business grew on the back of higher gold prices and the demand in the latter part of November thanks to the wedding season. However, business for low-value products saw a quantitative dip. Retailers are pinning their hopes on the wedding season, occasion-wear business and end-of-season sale in the coming two months,” Rajagopalan added.
Top regions
According to RAI’s survey findings, retailers in eastern India garnered a growth of 11 per cent during the two festival months compared to same period in 2022. Meanwhile, retail businesses clocked 7 per cent growth in South India, followed by 6 per cent and 5 per cent in North and West India, respectively.
In terms of categories, the growth was led by jewellery (13 per cent), sports goods (11 per cent) and footwear segments (10 per cent). Sales of consumers durables and IT products were up 9 per cent during the festival period over last year driven by higher consumer finance schemes, RAI noted. Furniture & furnishings and beauty & personal care segments also garnered 9 per cent growth each.
The quick-service restaurant segment clocked growth of 7 per cent, while apparel and clothing segment clocked a growth of just about 6 per cent during the festival months compared to last year. Food and grocery sales were pegged at 5 per cent higher.
OČUVANJE zdravlja trebalo bi biti cjeloživotna obaveza, ali ljudi uglavnom postaju pažljiviji tek kad dođu u 50-e. Genetika igra važnu ulogu, ali ponašanje i stavovi ljudi također mogu utjecati na to kako netko stari.
“Dobro starenje više je od pukog fizičkog zdravlja”, rekla je gerijatrica Theresa Allison.
Američka udruga umirovljenika (AARP) osmislila je kontrolni popis za ljude u pedesetima kako bi mogli provjeriti žive li zdravo na temelju najnovijih znanstvenih dostignuća.
1. Imate jake društvene veze
Starije odrasle osobe izloženije su riziku od usamljenosti zbog samačkog života, nerada i smanjene pokretljivosti. Društvena izolacija povezuje se s većim rizikom od srčanih bolesti, moždanog udara, dijabetesa, depresije i demencije. Istraživanja pokazuju da su ljudi sa snažnim sustavom podrške sretniji, zdraviji i žive dulje.
2. Fizički ste aktivni
Ljudi koji su fizički aktivni i kojima je tjelovježba prirodno uključena u život imaju veću vjerojatnost da će dobro stariti. Fizička aktivnost uključuje i vrtlarenje ili šetnje.
Fizička aktivnost održava mišiće i zglobove zdravima, a može poboljšati raspoloženje i pomoći u obrani od kroničnih bolesti, uključujući demenciju, dijabetes i bolesti srca, te produljiti očekivani životni vijek.
3. Pridržavate se mediteranske prehrane
Mediteranska prehrana uključuje povrće, voće, cjelovite žitarice i zdrave masti te se smatra najzdravijim oblikom prehrane.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
4. Sudjelujete u aktivnostima i imate osjećaj svrhe
Istraživanja pokazuju da su ljudi u dobi od 50 i više godina koji imaju osjećaj svrhe bolje raspoloženi i žive dulje. Stručnjaci vjeruju da sudjelovanje u aktivnostima može smanjiti razinu stresa i upalu u tijelu, koja je povezana sa zdravstvenim problemima poput kardiovaskularnih bolesti.
5. Spavate najmanje sedam sati noću
San je nevjerojatno važan dio dobrog starenja, a nedostatak sna može povećati šanse za obolijevanje od pretilosti, dijabetesa, depresije, visokog krvnog tlaka i bolesti srca. Istraživanja također nalaze vezu između vremena provedenog u snu i rizika od demencije, pa čak i smrti. Spavanje nudi tijelu vrijeme da se riješi toksina u mozgu i popravi oštećene neuronske veze.
6. Optimistični ste
Istraživanja pokazuju da ljudi s pozitivnim stavom imaju tendenciju živjeti dulje i zdravije od ljudi s negativnim stavovima. Pokazalo se da pozitivan pogled na starenje smanjuje rizik od demencije i produljuje životni vijek za oko sedam i pol godina.
7. Savjesni ste
Savjesni ljudi nastoje redovito ići na liječničke preglede, uzimati lijekove na vrijeme i kloniti se štetnih navika poput pušenja. Neki ljudi prirodno mogu biti savjesniji od drugih, ali možete si pomoći tako da pratite događaje u kalendaru i postavite podsjetnike.
8. Održavate mozak zdravim
Studija objavljena u svibnju ove godine sugerira da gubitak kognitivnih sposobnosti možda nije neizbježan u starosti. “Kada naučite nešto novo, vaš centar za pamćenje svijetli poput božićnog drvca. Stimulirate ga i stvarate petlju novih informacija, a ta stimulacija je poput vježbe za hipokampus”, zaključila je dr. Allison.

NIJEDAN vlasnik kućnog ljubimca nije savršen i sasvim je normalno da tu i tamo pogriješi. Mnogi ljudi misle da je puno lakše vlasnicima mačaka, s obzirom na to da su one puno samostalnije. Ali i mnogi od njih, većinom nesvjesno, rade pogreške koje mogu itekako naštetiti odnosu s mačkom.
Certificirana psihologinja za ponašanje mačaka, Saba Sayyed, u svom je Instagram videu opisala pet najčešćih grešaka koje čine vlasnici mačaka, čime je mnoge iznenadila.
1. Nasilno češljanje ili podizanje mačke
“Ako opetovano podižete ili njegujete svoju mačku protiv njezine volje, to će neminovno dovesti do toga da vaša mačka stvara negativne asocijacije na vas, kao i na četku za njegovanje.”
2. Svakodnevno kupanje mačke
Sayyed navodi da mačke gotovo uopće ne treba kupati niti im čistiti stražnjicu – one to čine same.

3. Nepružanje prilike za lov
Mačke su predatorice i važno je omogućiti im da ispune svoj lovački nagon, čak i ako žive u kući. Ako vaša mačka ne izlazi, kupite joj igračke koje će je okupirati, savjetuje stručnjakinja.
4. Reagiranje na svako mijaukanje
Ako svaki put reagirate, potaknut ćete svoju mačku da stalno traži pažnju i pretjerano mijauče kad je ne dobiva koliko misli da treba.
5. Glasno obraćanje/plašenje mačke
“Mačke su vrlo osjetljive na zvukove. Stoga će dominacija nad njima ili glasno pričanje povećati njihovu tjeskobu”, tvrdi Sayyed.

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

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

LAS VEGAS: The Nevada Supreme Court has denied Nathan Chasing Horse’s request to toss a sprawling indictment that accuses the former “Dances With Wolves” actor of leading a cult, taking underage wives and sexually abusing Indigenous women and girls for decades.
The court’s decision means prosecutors can proceed with their 18-count criminal case after months of delayed proceedings while Chasing Horse challenged it. The 47-year-old has been in custody since his arrest in January near the North Las Vegas home he is said to have shared with five wives.
Chasing Horse pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include sexual assault of a minor, kidnapping and child abuse.
His lawyers argued that the case should be dismissed because, the former actor said, the sexual encounters were consensual. One of his accusers was younger than 16, the age of consent in Nevada, when the alleged abuse began, authorities said.
Public defender Kristy Holston also argued that the indictment was an overreach by the Clark County district attorney’s office. She said some of the evidence presented to the grand jury, including a definition of grooming, had tainted the state’s case.
Holston didn’t immediately respond to a Tuesday request for comment on the state Supreme Court’s decision.
Chasing Horse is known for his portrayal of Smiles a Lot in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves.”
Law enforcement authorities say in the decades since starring in the Oscar-winning movie, Chasing Horse built a name for himself among tribes as a self-proclaimed medicine man while traveling around North America to perform healing ceremonies. They say he used his position to gain access to vulnerable girls and women starting in the early 2000s.
The abuse allegations cross multiple U.S. states, including Nevada, where he was living at the time of his arrest, as well as Montana and South Dakota, according to the indictment.
One of the victims identified in the Nevada case was 14 when Chasing Horse told her that the spirits of their ancestors had instructed him to have sex with her, according to court documents and prosecutors.
Domestic markets are expected to open on a cautious note on Thursday. The sudden fall on Wednesday caught most investors off guard. The panic selling triggered a sharp fall across the board.
Gift Nifty at 21,114 indicates a steady start at Nifty Dec futures on Wednesday, closed at 21,217, and Jan futures at 21,316.
However, analysts expect the market to see value buying, particularly in the large-cap space. However, some small-cap and mid-cap stocks may come under pressure.
Buzzing stocks. Stocks that will see action today: December 21, 2023
Sanjeev Hota, Head of Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said the steep fall in the market across indices was primarily led by profit booking at higher levels, coupled with concerns around the rising covid cases, and potential geo-political tension due to the impact on shipping routes in the Red Sea region arising out Houthi militias from Yemen has dented the investor sentiments.

There are hardly any margins of safety left in some pockets of mid- and small-caps after a significant run-up; thus, taking out some froth is healthy for the market, he added.
Asian stocks are down in early deals on Thursday between 0.5 per cent and 2 per cent. US stocks, too, fell overnight.
“Nevertheless, India’s structural story is getting stronger with stable government, healthy corporate earnings outlook and improving macro picture. Hence, any material dip could again provide investment opportunity in quality stocks,” Sanjeev Hota said.

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

NIJE čudno ako na kraju dana popustite pred zdravim navikama i posegnete za nezdravom hranom. Dijetetičarka Lindsay Wengler kaže da bismo u tom slučaju trebali razmisliti o pretjeranom ograničavanju tijekom dana.
“Kada ne dobijemo dovoljno hranjivih tvari ili energije, naše tijelo može signalizirati intenzivnu glad ili želju za hranom, što je obično vidljivo kasnije navečer”, rekla je za Best Life.
Trebamo razmisliti o prehrambenim navikama koje su nas dovele do te točke te dodati hranu bogatu hranjivim tvarima u svoju prehranu. Ovo je deset najboljih namirnica za zaustavljanje žudnje za konzumiranjem hrane u sitne noćne sate.
1. Grčki jogurt
Dijetetičarka Michelle Saari kaže da je grčki jogurt iznimno zdrav međuobrok.
“Grčki jogurt ne samo da je bogat proteinima, već sadrži i dobru količinu kalcija i probiotika. Visok sadržaj proteina usporava probavu, zbog čega se dulje osjećate sitima i pomaže u stabilizaciji razine šećera u krvi. To je izvrstan međuobrok koji se može zasladiti s malo meda ili posipati bobičastim voćem za kasnonoćnu poslasticu”, rekla je.
2. Smoothie
Ovaj osvježavajući napitak može biti poslastica, unatoč tome što sadrži puno hranjivih tvari. Nutricionist Dan Gallagher preporučuje proteinski smoothie s bananama i drugim svježim sastojcima koji su nam ukusni.
“Proteinski prah obično sadrži oko 15 do 20 grama proteina, što će pomoći smanjiti želju za hranom. Banane su bogate magnezijem i kalijem, što će vam pomoći da se opustite i pripremiti vas za spavanje”, tvrdi on.
3. Chia sjemenke
Saari također preporučuje jesti chia sjemenke koje nam mogu dati osjećaj sitosti koji će trajati cijelu noć.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Chia sjemenke pune su hranjivih tvari, prepune vlakana, omega-3 masnih kiselina i proteina. Kada se namoče, chia sjemenke šire se i stvaraju tvar sličnu gelu, potičući osjećaj sitosti. Njihov visok sadržaj vlakana pomaže u sporoj apsorpciji šećera, što može spriječiti skokove šećera u krvi.”
4. Zob
Jedenje zobi u bilo koje doba dana može pomoći u smanjenju želje za jelom.
“Zob je izvrstan izvor topivih vlakana, osobito beta-glukana, za koje se pokazalo da reguliraju apetit i poboljšavaju kontrolu šećera u krvi. Jedenje male, tople zdjelice zobenih pahuljica navečer može pružiti zasitan učinak, pomažući u obuzdavanju želje za grickalicama kasno navečer”, napominje Saari.
5. Avokado
Dodavanje avokada prehrani još je jedan način obuzdavanja ove nezdrave večernje želje za hranom.
“Avokado je bogat mononezasićenim mastima, koje su zdrave za srce i mogu vas držati sitima. Prisutnost vlakana u avokadu također pomaže u održavanju stabilne razine šećera u krvi”, kaže Saari.
6. Svježi sir
Gallagher preporučuje da probamo svježi sir kao izdašan, ali zdrav međuobrok.
“S visokim sadržajem proteina lako se kombinira s voćem poput ananasa i breskvi te će učiniti da se osjećate zadovoljnima i spriječiti vas da posegnete za nezdravom hranom”, objasnio je.

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

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

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

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

Question : Are there affordable options among the top QLED models that don’t compromise on quality?
Ans : Absolutely! While QLED TVs are generally positioned as premium products, there are affordable options available that don’t compromise on quality.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Sljedeća stvar je nokat koji se savija prema dolje, dok vrh prsta postaje otečen. To bi mogao biti znak bolesti srca, infekcije srca ili bolesti pluća. Ako patite od savijenih noktiju, oni mogu biti mekani i spužvasti na dodir te topli”, dodao je.
Klinika Cleveland opisuje takve nokte kao “zaobljene i ispupčene”, oblik koji podsjeća na obrnutu žlicu. Takvi nokti također mogu izgledati crveno i širiti se oko vrhova prstiju.
“Posljednje je nešto što se naziva Frankov znak, a to je dijagonalna brazda u ušnoj resici koja može biti pokazatelj bolesti srca”, zaključio je dr. Porteli.
Studija slučaja objavljena u BMJ ističe da istraživanja pokazuju “značajnu povezanost” Frankova znaka s povećanim rizicima od ishemijske bolesti srca i srčanih udara.

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

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

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

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

How to find the right Bluetooth speaker for Christmas gifting?
Finding the right Bluetooth speaker for Christmas gifting involves considering the recipient’s lifestyle and preferences. Firstly, assess the sound quality and volume needs. For audiophiles or outdoor gatherings, choose speakers with higher wattage and superior sound quality. Secondly, consider portability and durability. If the gift is for someone who loves outdoor activities, look for compact, rugged speakers with waterproof ratings. Battery life is also crucial for continuous playtime. Thirdly, think about additional features like voice assistants, light shows, or the ability to connect multiple speakers. Lastly, consider the design and aesthetics of the speaker, as it should resonate with the recipient’s taste. Balancing these factors will help you choose a Bluetooth speaker that delights your loved one this Christmas.
FAQs
Question : What is the importance of an IP rating in Bluetooth speakers?
Ans : An IP (Ingress Protection) rating indicates how resistant the speaker is to dust and water. Higher IP ratings mean better protection against the elements, making the speaker suitable for outdoor use or near water bodies.
Question : What should I consider when choosing a Bluetooth speaker for a gift?
Ans : When choosing a Bluetooth speaker as a gift, consider the sound quality, battery life, and portability of the speaker. Additional features like waterproofing, connectivity options (such as NFC or Wi-Fi), and compatibility with voice assistants can also be important, depending on the recipient’s preferences and lifestyle. Design and aesthetics might also play a role if the speaker will be used in home environments.
Question : Can Bluetooth speakers be connected to multiple devices simultaneously?
Ans : Many modern Bluetooth speakers offer the ability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. This feature, known as “multi-connect” or “multi-point pairing,” allows easy switching between different audio sources. However, this capability varies by model and brand, so it’s important to check the specifications of the specific speaker.
Question : How does battery life impact the usability of a Bluetooth speaker?
Ans : Battery life is a critical factor in the usability of a Bluetooth speaker, especially for portable use. Longer battery life ensures uninterrupted music playback during outdoor activities, travel, or extended periods without access to a power source. It’s advisable to choose a speaker with a battery life that matches the user’s needs.
Question : Can Bluetooth speakers be used for purposes other than playing music?
Ans : Yes, Bluetooth speakers can be used for various purposes beyond playing music. They can serve as amplifiers for video or gaming audio, provide enhanced sound for podcasts and audiobooks, and facilitate hands-free calls with built-in microphones. Some speakers also have the capability to connect to voice assistants, making them useful for smart home control and voice commands.

Meat snack company Slim Jim is asking motorists to keep an eye out for the modified Nissan Z it displays at promotional events across the nation. Highly distinctive thanks to a long list of aftermarket parts, the coupe (which is nicknamed Fast Meat) was stolen in Los Angeles.
Slim Jim explains that Fast Meat has been driving around the United States as part of a partnership with the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It stopped in Chicago, and it then made its way to Los Angeles to star in a video. That’s where it was stolen in December 2023.
The Z was last seen in California, according to the brand. It’s difficult to miss: riding on aftermarket wheels, it features a Slim Jim wrapper-themed exterior wrap with the brand’s logo, deep-tinted windows, and orange LED underbody lighting. We don’t know the color of the paint underneath the wrap, and while photos of the interior haven’t been released we’re told it’s equipped with custom yellow leather upholstery.
Numerous interior details further set Fast Meat apart from a regular Z. There’s a Slim Jim holder, a one-of-a-kind Slim Jim dispenser in the glovebox, and a handful of “69,” “420,” and “Long Boi Gang” logos scattered across the interior. Clearly, this is not a run-of-the-mill Z.
Slim Jim is asking anyone with information about who stole the car or where it’s located to contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
We met Sumant Kathpalia, MD and CEO of IndusInd Bank, to discuss the progress on the Bank’s Planning Cycle 6 and its strategy to deliver sustainable and profitable growth. He reiterated the bank’s unwavering focus on building a strong retail liability franchisee (add more than 1,000 branches), balanced credit portfolio mix with a higher share of AHL/SME/Cards, micro-banking vs. micro-finance and, thereby, sustainable RoAs (1.8-2.2 per cent).
The bank is keen on building a strong wealth management business, including AMC, and remains open to the inorganic route. Sumant is keen on full-term extension beyond Mar-25, while the bank has appropriate succession planning in place across the top and middle management to avoid any business disruption.
We have raised our earnings estimates by 1-4 per cent over FY24-26, factoring better growth/lower LLP and expect the bank to deliver healthy RoA @1.9-2 per cent/RoE at 16-18 per cent RoE. Factoring in better earnings/RoE trajectory and margin stability amid the risk of contraction among peers, we upgrade the TP to ₹2,000/share from ₹1,825/share, rolling forward its P/ABV on 2.1x Dec-25E ABV vs. 2x Sep-25 earlier.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Interestingly, enough The Scream was also featured in Coca-Cola’s global campaign titled Masterpiece. The scintillating ad which uses AI and special effects shows a bored art student in a museum, until there is sudden action. A bottle of Coca-Cola jumps from canvas to canvas, starting with Andy Warhol’s 1962 Coca-Cola painting onto Turner’s The Shipwreck, Edvard Munch’s The Scream and several other masterpieces before it finally lands into Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, whose subject opens the bottle and passes it to the bored student for inspiration.
Any object can become a museum piece
Dr Alka Pande, art historian and curator of the Bihar Museum Biennale showed a series of slides of off-beat museums around the world to show that any object can become a museum piece. For instance, in Japan, there is the Cup Noodles museum set up by Nissin. Later, chatting with this writer, Pande said that business houses in India that spend huge amounts on advertising could create great connect and resonance by setting up museums on everyday items. For instance, Amul could do a history of dairy museum or Haldiram could create a museum revolving around the history of street foods.

Involving the communities
Michael Edson talked about how the Museum of Solutions (MuSo) in Mumbai is going to be boldly child-led. “Young people have tremendous imagination and energy. But they don’t become magically mature,” he said, explaining the importance of spaces that would fuel curiosity and thinking, and spark innovation. The MuSo will have no collections, he promised. It would also involve the communities and take ideas from them.
Merchandise and more
Museums are slow to change, rued Edson. In India especially, this is true, said Alka Pande, describing how museums can do so much by creating exciting merchandise the way several museums abroad do. Roping in celebrities can help boost footfalls too. For instance, the Louvre in Paris broke all ticket-office records soon after Beyonce and Jay Z’s music video was shot there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The outlook remains positive for the stock of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) (₹1,078.55). If the current rally sustains, APSEZ can hit a high of ₹1,350.
On the other hand, APSEZ finds an immediate support at ₹1,017. A close below can weaken the stock towards ₹882. A breach of this will change the outlook negative again. We expect the stock to move in a narrow range with upward bias.
F&O pointers: APSEZ December futures closed at ₹1,085 against the spot close of ₹1,078.55, signalling the existence of long positions.
Despite the stock climbing from ₹833-level, the counter shed open interests at regular intervals. Open positions, from 5.29 crore shares on December 1, fell to 5.01 crore shares currently. Option trading indicates a wide range of ₹800-1,200.
Strategy: We advise traders to consider a bull-call spread on APSEZ. This can be initiated by selling 1100-call and simultaneously buying 1080-call. These options closed with a premium of ₹30.85 and 39.10.
As the market lot is 800 shares, this strategy would cost traders ₹6,600, which would be the maximum loss. Maximum loss would happen if APSEZ closes at or below ₹1,080 on expiry.
On the other hand, a profit of ₹9,400 is possible, if APSEZ closes at or above ₹1,100 on expiry. Keep the stop-loss at ₹2,500.
Follow-up: HDFC Asset Management swung wildly last week, hitting the target. Those who are still holding, can exit.
Note: The recommendations are based on technical analysis and F&O positions. There is a risk of loss in trading
“Donkey! Gadha!” said an irate Briefcase. “Talking to me?” asked the Backpack in a perplexed tone. “Yes, you…you who have converted people into beasts of burden, carrying heavy weights on their back. I don’t understand how you young people want to carry a backpack instead of a briefcase.”
Look at me, said the briefcase. Look at my sharp edges, the polished brown leather exterior, the soft brown interior, the pockets and pouches, and the golden locks that click shut. My pouches can carry files and papers neatly, and there is a space to keep the Sheaffer or Cross pen for signing cheques. I can be locked, and all my contents can be kept safe, free from theft. What peace of mind I can offer!
I enable every office goer to signal his ambition to reach the top, become a boss, have the power to sign high-value cheques and know the power of structure, order, planning, and being organised in propelling people to the top. I have inspired countless previous generations of office-goers to do their best and to realize their ambitions. Now, you, Backpack, have spoiled this young generation of office-goers; I don’t know just how you have done it.
The perplexed Backpack now saw the light. He understood that the briefcase was both angry and sad at being displaced and replaced. It was his turn to speak and explain why the younger generation of office-goers were so attached to their backpacks.
Briefcase Sir, you know, this generation doesn’t like being stuck inside cubicles. Your sharp edges and rectangular shape remind them of cubicles and enclosed spaces, where they feel like they are being jailed. On a more practical level, it is impossible to carry a briefcase when driving a motorcycle or even a scooter. But it is so easy to hold papers, a water bottle, and all necessities in a backpack. Moreover, backpacks nowadays come in all forms, shapes, sizes, colours, and designs. There are hard backs and shells and soft backs. They have pouches for placing the laptop. There are black, nylon versions, and designer versions as well.
Carrying a briefcase in your hand weighs you down. Wearing a backpack on your back frees you up. Your hands are free. All you need is on your back, and you are free to set out to explore the world, seek adventure, and taste freedom. Get on your bike with your pack on your back, and the big, wide world beckons. What’s not to like about this? Every young person in the world dreams of flying away, out of the nest, and feeling free to see the world.
A visibly upset Briefcase interjected that freedom and adventure was all very well in college but not when you start working. Stability and assuming responsibility is important. Starting work life is a rite of passage that needs its own symbolism.
Backpack spoke up and said this generation of youth would like their work-life to be an adventure, a discovery, an exploration. Each workday should feel exciting and a source of learning something new, and not be burdened by responsibility, or repetitive.
Briefcase spoke up again and said, even if I agree with what you say, this is all true only for the elite class. They have all the money to free them from the burden of responsibility. Middle-class youth don’t have that luxury. They can’t think like that.
Backpack said, I am sorry to have to say this, Briefcase Sir. But today’s middle-class youth who are in the workforce do think like this. They drive around in two-wheelers, carry backpacks, come to work, and want to experience adventure, exploration, and discovery at work. They love their freedom and don’t want to clip their wings. I help them express and experience what they feel is important to them.

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

Pruža olakšanje od stresa
Meditacija može olakšati lateralni i medijalni prefrontalni korteks, smanjujući našu razinu stresa. Stoga, ako nas nešto opterećuje, preporučljivo je početi meditirati kako bismo se riješili stresa.
Smiruje užurbani um
Ako se želimo riješiti briga i razviti optimističan pristup životu, meditacija je odlična opcija. Zbog užurbanog života, misli su često okupirane mnogim stvarima, ali prakticiranjem meditacije moći ćemo biti pozitivni i svjesni.
Redovita praksa meditacije može unaprijediti koncentraciju, smanjiti stres te potaknuti opći osjećaj mira i ravnoteže. Integracija meditacije u svakodnevni život može biti jednostavan, ali moćan korak prema poboljšanju kvalitete života.

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

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

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

How to find the Best Electric Ovens?
Selecting the ideal electric oven requires a customised strategy to meet your culinary goals. Start by assessing your unique demands and culinary habits. Knowing your needs is essential, whether you’re a baker who wants exact temperature control or a multi-talented chef trying out different cooking methods.
Think about how big the oven is in proportion to your kitchen and how much food you usually cook. It should fit snugly and support your culinary goals without taking over the kitchen arrangement.
Examining the characteristics becomes essential. Seek features that fit your cooking style: smart connection for smooth integration into a contemporary kitchen environment, convection capabilities for uniform heat distribution, a variety of cooking modes for diversity, and programmable settings for ease of use.
Efficiency is more important than culinary skill. Look for models that are energy-efficient and help create a sustainable kitchen setting in addition to lowering utility expenses.

In the end, the greatest electric oven fits in with your lifestyle and tastes, improving your cooking experiences and blending in smoothly with your culinary adventure. You’ll discover an oven that turns your kitchen into a sanctuary for culinary experimentation and creativity by giving top priority to features that meet your specific demands.

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

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

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

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

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

“He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be,” she wrote on Instagram.
“The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life,” wrote Matt LeBlanc, who played Perry’s roommate and best friend on the show.
The net inflow through the Systematic Investment Plan at ₹9,058 crore accounted for 56 per cent gross inflow of ₹17,073 crore in July with the number of new SIP increasing at a faster pace. In fact, it has been growing since July when net SIPs added up to only 36 per cent of gross inflows.
The net SIP inflows last month jumped 65 per cent to ₹9,058 crore against ₹5,494 crore in July.
Incidentally, the gross SIP inflows had hit a new high of ₹17,073 crore against ₹14,734 crore in July, an increase of 16 per cent.
The net SIP accounted for 55 per cent of gross inflow in January and fell to 36 per cent in July before moving up, showed an analysis of data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PSE ČESTO možemo vidjeti kako beskrajno jure za vlastitim repovima. Ali zašto?
Postoji nekoliko mogućih razloga za takvo ponašanje, kao i načina kako ga spriječiti, rekli su stručnjaci za Live Science.
Štenci i mlađi psi mogu jednostavno loviti vlastiti rep iz zabave. Osobito štenci možda još ne shvaćaju da su njihovi repovi zapravo dio njihovih tijela, tvrde stručnjaci iz bolnice za životinje Schertz u Teksasu.
Jedan od razloga je i dosada
Dosada može biti još jedan razlog, posebno kada su psi dugo sami. “Kad god pas nije zabavljen ili se nije u potpunosti istrčan, ima potencijala da mu bude dosadno”, rekao je za Live Science Russell Hartstein, savjetnik za ponašanje pasa i osnivač Fun Paw Care u Los Angelesu.
Za pse koji trče u krug jer im je dosadno, jednostavno rješenje može biti igranje ili šetnja. Većina pasa radije bi ganjala loptu nego vlastiti rep, primjećuju iz bolnice za životinje u Los Angelesu.
Drugi razlog zbog kojeg psi mogu juriti za svojim repom je traženje pažnje. “Vlasnik psa možda je nagradio takvo ponašanje smijanjem ili riječima “dobar dečko”, rekao je Hartstein. Kako biste obuzdali jurenje za repom, ignorirajte takvo ponašanje dok psu pridajete zdravu količinu pažnje, kažu iz Schertz bolnice za životinje.
Traženje pažnje
Određene pasmine pasa sklone su hvatanju vlastitog repa. Na primjer, bulterijeri i njemački ovčari “dobro su poznati po osjetljivosti na kompulzivna ponašanja kao što je jurnjava za repom”, rekao je Hannes Lohi, genetičar sa Sveučilišta u Helsinkiju, za Live Science.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Nažalost, brojne fizičke bolesti povezane su s lovljenjem repa. Ozljeda repa, svrbež zbog crijevnih parazita ili buha; zahvaćene analne žlijezde; ili alergije na hranu mogu uzrokovati da pas liže, grize ili lovi svoj rep, prema bolnici za životinje Schertz. Ako psi iznenada počnu loviti ili gristi svoje repove, njihovi bi vlasnici trebali zakazati posjet svom veterinaru, napominju.
Neurološki poremećaji
Konačno, lovljenje repa može biti povezano s neurološkim poremećajima, kao što je pseći kompulzivni poremećaj, pseća verzija opsesivno-kompulzivnog poremećaja.
U studiji iz 2012. Lohi i njegovi kolege istraživali su 368 pasa iz četiri pasmine poznate po lovu na rep. Ponašanje obično počinje u dobi od 3 do 6 mjeseci, pri čemu gotovo polovica pasa koji jure za repom pokazuju druge vrste kompulzija, kao što je koračanje u ponavljajućim obrascima, više nego obični psi.
“Zanimljivo je da su psi koji su dobivali dodatke prehrani, posebice vitamine i minerale, manje hvatali rep u usporedbi s psima koji nisu dobivali nikakve dodatke”, rekao je Lohi. “Kastrirane ženke su manje lovile rep, što ukazuje na utjecaj hormona na lovljenje repa.” Osim toga, u usporedbi s psima koji nisu jurili za repom, lovci na repove često su bili sramežljiviji i ranije su se odvojili od svojih majki, rekao je.
Kako to obuzdati?
Ako je pas inače zdrav, “vježbanje dresure pasa i uključivanje njihovih mentalnih i emocionalnih aspekata u njihov život pomoći će da se zaustavi jurnjava za repovima”, rekao je Hartstein. “Nema loše strane više trenirati sa svojim psom i pobrinuti se da bude ispunjen i obogaćen na svaki mogući način.”
Natjerati pse da prakticiraju ponašanje koje je nespojivo s lovljenjem repa može pomoći u obuzdavanju takvog ponašanja. “Na primjer, ako se pas naginje pokraj vas, ili ako sjedi ili je u donjem položaju, ili čeka vaše vodstvo, tada neće tražiti da lovi svoj rep”, rekao je Hartstein.

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

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

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

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

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

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

KASNA večera možda djeluje bezopasno, ali konzumacija hrane nakon 21 sat zapravo može povećati rizik od moždanog udara, objavili su francuski znanstvenici.
Do tog otkrića došli su studijom koja je pratila više od 100.000 stanovnika Francuske, od kojih je svaki ispunio 15 dnevnika prehrane u kojima su bilježili vrijeme obroka radnim danima i vikendom. Trećina ljudi večerala je prije 20 sati, dok je trećina jela između 20 i 21, a trećina nakon 21 sat.
Volonteri su praćeni u prosjeku sedam godina, i tijekom tog razdoblja zabilježeno je oko 2000 slučajeva kardiovaskularnih bolesti, uključujući srčane i moždane udare. Ljudi koji su večerali najkasnije, nakon 21 sat, imali su 28 posto veću vjerojatnost da će doživjeti moždani udar ili prolazni ishemijski napad, poznat kao mini-moždani udar.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Baka me uvijek upozoravala da ne večeram prekasno, a ova studija sugerira da bi taj savjet mogao imati smisla. Sada smo društvo koje radi 24 sata, sedam dana u tjednu, i mnogi osjećaju da nikad nemaju dovoljno vremena te jedu kasno navečer. Ali pokazalo se da to može povećati rizik od zdravstvenih problema, češće kod žena”, rekao je autor studije dr. Bernard Srour sa Sveučilišta Sorbonne Paris Nord.
Studija objavljena u časopisu Nature Communications uočila je povezanost između vremena obroka i srčanih problema uglavnom kod žena, koje su činile gotovo 80 posto volontera u studiji.
Znanstvenici imaju teoriju da probava hrane povisuje šećer u krvi i krvni tlak, što s vremenom može oštetiti krvne žile i povećati rizik od krvnih ugrušaka koji dovode do moždanih i srčanih udara, ali da bi to dokazali, potrebno je mnogo više istraživanja.

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

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