Although it resembles real leather, vegan leather is made from synthetic or plant-based components. PVC and polyurethane are frequently used to manufacture vegan leather, especially in the fast fashion industry. Not exactly the most environmentally friendly option, given these materials, are made of plastic and petroleum.

However, other materials, like cork, paper, and even bananas, can also be used to make vegan leather. Yes, you read that right. You can make your handbag using the same elements that go into your morning smoothie.

Depending on how it was produced, vegan leather may or may not be considered “sustainable.” For instance, while not directly harming animals during manufacture, alternatives to leather made of plastic might still take years to decompose, which is bad for the environment.

But is that plastic pollution more harmful than the effects of conventional leather on the environment? Animals are not only killed every year for their skins and hides, but even the tanning procedure (which turns hides into leather) has a bad reputation.

Heavy metals are used in tanning and dyeing, and they can leak into streams and kill marine life. What sustainability considerations are important to you ultimately determines how you should proceed. No green product can ever be flawless. While plastic-based leather doesn’t directly kill animals but may not biodegrade and can emit deadly poisons, real leather directly harms animals and is produced using chemicals. It somewhat produces a “lesser of two evils” situation.

Let’s not overlook the apples and bananas we stated previously, though. A few plant-based substitutes are becoming more and more popular. There is vegan leather manufactured from mushroom caps, for instance. It is even rumored to be softer and more water-resistant than conventional leather because it is tanned with non-toxic substances.

It’s crucial that we as customers learn about the origins and manufacturing processes of the vegan leather products we purchase.

Last year, news broke about Syra Yousuf and Shahroz Sabzwari, a former couple, co-starring in a film. While some fans were thrilled, others questioned whether the movie would ever be released given how the two later broke up. A feel-good love story, Babylicious, is expected to be released on Valentine’s Day.

Sabzwari took to his Instagram on Thursday with a monochrome poster of the film that sees the pair in an embrace. “Yes, guys. It’s releasing. We were just waiting for Valentine’s to come around,” he wrote.


Syra also shared the news of their film on social media and revealed that Babylicious took 12 years to complete. She wrote, “This February 2023, it will be 12 years since we became attached to this film. So very excited for you all to see it! Presenting the first look of our new movie BABYLICIOUS.”

Syra Yousuf and Shahroze Sabzwari play the key characters in Essa Khan’s film Babylicious. They will portray the love interests of one another. The director gave a hint regarding the plot of the movie, saying that it is a love story about “getting your ex back.”

When they were not divorced, both were chosen for this movie. Syra exhibited her professionalism and continued to film the movie until the very end even though she and her ex-husband Shahroz had recently divorced.

On Google’s hum to search top songs list, “Pasoori” has surpassed hugely successful bands like BTS, Imagine Dragons, and the Backstreet Boys. This year, Google released lists of the top trends. Next on the list were “Butter,” “Chaand Baaliyan,” and “Heat Waves.”

Pasoori also made it to the list of most searched songs, ranking second after the Indonesian pop song ‘Tak Ingin Usai’ by Keisya Levronka.

Coke Studio producer Xulfi celebrated the accomplishment on Instagram. “Can’t thank the universe enough. Just can’t. And can’t thank all of you, the people, enough too,” he wrote. “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for giving us your love, your attention, and your kindness that made our, your Coke Studio’s ‘Pasoori’ the most Googled song in the world in 2022.”

Commenting on the songs ‘Pasoori’ overtook, he said, “Surreal knowing that BTS is second in the list. It’s a music act we researched before the season. And then Imagine Dragons, one of my favourite music acts, is on the list too. Just unbelievable. Congratulations team.”

Abdullah Siddiqui, an associate producer for Coke Studio season 14, also expressed his appreciation for the success of the hit song.

Singers of “Pasoori,” Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, also announced the news on Instagram. So grateful, Shae Gill commented.

The song “Pasoori” was released in February and became a fan favourite right away. Its popularity has since expanded outside of Pakistan as well. It is well-liked in India, has a Coke Studio Africa remix collaboration with Nigerian Afrobeats, and presently has 457 million YouTube views. It even appeared in Ms. Marvel and rose to the international music charts.

In order to decrease the violation of traffic rules, the Lahore traffic police came up with an objective and decided to introduce action against those who drive without a license.

Asad Malhi, the CTO (Chief Traffic Police Officer), issued a warning to the people of Lahore, informing them that anyone seen driving without a license in the city will face a punishment of Rs 2000.

To help the public obtain their license, he announced that the DHA and Irfa Karim Driving License Centers would be open today until 4 PM.

Further, he stated that Smart Licencing Centre Manwa will remain open 24/7 for the facility of the masses to save themselves from fines.

According to reports, the cabinet committee for traffic in Lahore city approved a rise in the fines for moving violations last year to reduce reckless driving and the likelihood of accidents.

Raja Basharat, the law minister for Punjab, presided over the meeting that approved the revision. As a result, people who are caught speeding, not wearing helmets, or breaking lane regulations would have to pay higher challan fines.

According to a recent survey, a significant portion of the population would relocate to a country with greater possibilities and a better quality of life if given the option.

37% of Pakistanis, according to the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE), would travel abroad if they could.

Balochistan has the greatest rate of residents who desire to leave Pakistan among the four provinces, at 42%, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Sindh. Punjab has the lowest rate, despite the fact that 35% of Punjabis want to leave the nation. At 44%, Kashmiris have the highest likelihood of leaving Pakistan, followed by Gilgit-Baltistan. The least number of residents in Islamabad express a wish to move.

According to the study, identity is also influenced by age and gender. Women depart the country less frequently than males do. Between the ages of 15 and 24, 62% of people express a desire to leave the country; however, as people get older, this desire lessens. People with less education are less inclined to leave the country.

PIDE believes it’s difficult to leave one’s home or country, but there must be a valid reason. According to the survey, economic problems are the main culprit.

According to the report, Pakistanis’ desire to emigrate was second only to the want to live with dignity. The poll revealed that Balochistan and Sindh prefer respect to equality.

Balochistan, Kashmir, and Sindh are the regions where people are most ready to emigrate for security. Gender equality was the main reason people left KP.

The Pakistan Bureau of Immigration and Overseas Employment estimates that between 1971 and June 2020, about 11.2 million Pakistanis looked for employment in 52 different nations.

The British Broadcasting Corporation has named Justice Ayesha Malik, the first woman to serve as a judge on Pakistan’s Supreme Court, as one of the 100 most inspirational and influential women of 2022. (BBC).

The BBC emphasized that Justice Ayesha has written decisions upholding women’s rights, including a “landmark decision which prohibited the so-called two-finger test of rape victims” that was applied while examining allegations of sexual assault.

In addition to her work on the Supreme Court, Malik also trains judges all around the world and has started conferences for female judges in Pakistan, advancing the conversation of integrating a gender perspective into the legal system.

In a later interview with the media, Gulzar Ahmed, the previous chief justice of Pakistan, declared that he would not claim responsibility for Justice Ayesha’s appointment as a judge on the supreme court. She deserved to be a judge of the Supreme Court.

Billie Eilish, the “tsarina of Russian pop” Alla Pugacheva, the first lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, the climber Elnaz Rekabi, the triple jump champion Yulimar Rojas, and Ghanaian author Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah are among the other women on the BBC’s list.

A high-level international polio team concluded on Thursday after visiting Pakistan that there is unprecedented support and commitment to ending polio by 2023 and that if the current pace is maintained, the nation will be able to stop transmission in the upcoming year.

Dr. Chris Elias, Chair of the Polio Oversight Board (POB), Dr. Ahmed Al-Mandhari, Regional Director of WHO, and George Laryea-Adjei, Regional Director of UNICEF, headed the delegation.

The hardest part of eradicating polio is yet to come, but eradication is possible because of the diligent work being done in Pakistan, according to Dr. Elias.

“During my three-day visit, I was once more moved by the government’s and the community’s commitment to eradicating polio forever,” he continued. The next polio campaigns must successfully reach every child, and the regular immunization program must be strengthened.

The highest governing body of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative is the Polio Oversight Board. This is the delegation’s second trip to Pakistan as a group this year. A polio case was discovered in Pakistan after almost 15 months, prompting the previous visit in May. The most recent visit occurred after devastating floods that resulted in the widespread relocation of people and the loss of multiple medical institutions, which raised the danger of polio transmission.

Pakistan is at the “final stretch” of the road to eradication, according to WHO Regional Director Dr. Ahmed Al-Mandhari.

“The nation is in a strong position to completely eradicate poliovirus transmission by 2023 thanks to the accomplishments made this year. Although 2023 will be a year of elections and political transition, maintaining political and administrative commitment will be necessary to ensure that we achieve our goal, he added. In accordance with our regional vision of health for all by all, “everyone has a part to play in ending polio via our collective solidarity and action.”

Director of UNICEF’s South Asia Region George Laryea-Adjei stated that Pakistan’s accomplishment in halting the spread of polio through collaborative efforts by the government, funders, frontline health workers, and partners is genuinely impressive.

We must step up efforts to involve parents and other caregivers in protecting these kids, he added, noting that the recent flooding has increased health concerns for millions of kids, particularly those who reside in areas that have historically had the highest risk of contracting polio. “The eradication of polio is imminent, and we must now make the final push to guarantee that every kid is protected against this crippling condition.”

The delegation met with the Prime Minister, the Federal Health Minister, the Engineer-in-Chief of the Pakistan Army, and the leaders of the provincial governments of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh during the visit, and they reaffirmed their support for helping Pakistan stop the spread of the poliovirus by 2023.

Modern smartwatches are better than ever. They now serve as a full-featured digital wallet, health and fitness tracker, and an extension of your smartphone, even when it is far away.

In fact, modern smartwatches even have the potential to save lives. Many of them offer features like heart rate monitoring, elevation detection, and automated emergency service connection in case of a fall. Some models also offer blood oxygen (SpO2) and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements as extras.

The top smartwatches go above and beyond, containing a wide range of features and apps in addition to having a battery life that lasts for well over a week. Check out our top selections below after we researched dozens of the best smartwatches to see which ones would work best for different user types.

Apple Watch Series 8

The Apple Watch 8 is the most advanced model thus far. In terms of functions, it isn’t a significant improvement over the Apple Watch Series 7, but it does have a better design and a bigger screen. The skin temperature sensor, which can help with cycle and fertility tracking as well as sleep tracking, is something new in the Apple Watch Series 8 compared to the Series 7 model. The long-awaited low-power mode, which can increase the current Apple Watch’s battery life to 36 hours, was also included in the Series 8’s debut. Additionally, the Apple Watch 8 has a new crash detection capability that makes use of better motion sensors to provide immediate assistance when you may need it most.

The Apple Watch Series 8 is a fully functional health tracker and communications device otherwise. This wristwatch contains watchOS 9, which has the newest and best features the Apple Watch experience has to offer. This is the finest smartwatch for you whether you want to use it for exercising, taking calls on the go, or using the top Apple Watch apps. Obviously, if you have an iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro

Samsung is obviously not content to watch while Apple keeps updating and enhancing the Apple Watch. With a longer battery life than the Apple Watch, Samsung’s most recent Galaxy Watch 5 Pro delivers many of the same cutting-edge health tracking functions, including blood oxygen monitoring, ECG, and sleep tracking.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro now has a skin temperature sensor, body composition readings, and other features that are generally found in high-end GPS sports watches that cost twice as much as the Watch 5 Pro. Samsung-powered Google Wear OS 3 is used by the Watch 5 Pro. This indicates that although it supports Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Wallet, Google Play Store, and other Google apps, it still has the appearance of a Samsung smartwatch.

Its operating system has been tailored to the watch’s rounded shape and simulated revolving bezel. The watch features fall detection, texting, phone calls, and other features. It also supports sophisticated fitness statistics like VO2 Max and advanced running dynamics data.

Fitbit Sense

The Fitbit ecosystem is strong, with a large user base to encourage you to meet your daily activity and fitness targets. The watch data is analyzed by the smartphone app, which is great and provides a tonne of information, recommendations, and insight. These new Fitbit watches perform most functions well with both Android and iOS, while Android smartphone owners benefit more from support for rapid text message answers.

The Fitbit Sense incorporates extra sensors on the rear and a stainless-steel ring around the watch face to enable advanced health metrics like ECG and skin temperature. You can purchase the Fitbit Versa 3 and forego some sophisticated wellness measures if you want to save $70.

The embedded GPS receiver in this watch, which will enable you to track your outside activities more precisely, is a considerable upgrade over prior Fitbit watches.

Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS

Aiming to appeal to owners of Samsung phones, Google and Samsung have teamed up to provide Samsung with exceptional timepieces. For owners of other Android smartphones and iPhones, there are Google Wear OS watches available. The second Mobvoi model to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform is the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS, which is the brand’s most recent timepiece.

The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is among the greatest Wear OS watches now on the market. It sports a novel layered display design that layers an LCD display on top of an AMOLED display to provide users with a longer battery life. The watch has a massive 577 mAh battery and is built to withstand the elements with IP68 and MIL-STD-810G durability ratings. 

Wear OS is a very capable wearable platform, even though it does not have the same level of support as the Apple Watch. It offers a large selection of watch faces, a tonne of well-known third-party apps, voice support for Google Assistant, advanced health tracking, and stress tracking. The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is a very powerful GPS sports watch that contains all the most recent sophisticated health indicators, including blood oxygen monitoring.

Apple Watch SE

The Apple Watch SE is a hybrid gadget that combines an older Apple Watch design with the processor from the Apple Watch Series 8. Despite not having all the features of the Series 8, the $249 wristwatch stands out for its excellent fitness tracking and safety features. It is a wonderful alternative for individuals looking to test out Family Setup because it also has an LTE option.

Your final decision will depend on whether you want to spend an extra $150 for a brighter display with an always-on option, an ECG monitor and skin-temperature sensor, and a bigger display when deciding between the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE (2022). The SE is a very capable option for iPhone owners if those tools aren’t a deal-breaker for you. Even watchOS 9, the most recent version of the Apple Watch operating system, is included. It features a low-power mode, brand-new watch faces, an improved workout interface, a new compass function, and a new Medications app. Even watchOS 9, the most recent version of the Apple Watch operating system, is included.
