How many people can you spot?

This interesting visual puzzl is a great way to test your observation skills. Look closely at the picture above and try to figure out how many real people are in the scene.

The image shows an art gallery with several paintings hanging on the walls. A number of visitors are looking at the artwork and there is also a statue of a woman inside the gallery.

Can you find the correct number?

At first glance you may think there are 14 people in the picture.  However that answer is incorrect because the people shown in paintings and the statue are not real people so they should not be counted.

If you counted six people that answer is also wrong. There is actually one more person hiding in the picture.

Where is the hidden person?

The correct answer is seven.

To find the hidden person look carefully at the painting in the right corner. Pay close attention to the eyes in the painting. You may notice that a person is cleverly hiding behind it.

    Increasing fuel prices

    ByJustpaste.in

    From Meer Baloch Through the columns of your respected newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the continuous increase in fuel prices in Pakistan. The rising cost of petrol and diesel has made life difficult for ordinary people. Higher fuel prices increase transportation costs, which also raise the prices of food, medicines, and other daily necessities. Poor and middle-class families are suffering the most because their incomes remain the same while expenses continue to rise. The government should take effective measures to control fuel prices and provide relief to the public. It should also promote affordable public transport and reduce unnecessary taxes on fuel. I hope my letter will create awareness and encourage the authorities to take prompt action.

  • Why does your nose block at Night?

    ByJustpaste.in

    Do you breathe normally during the day but find it harder to breathe through your nose when you lie down at night? This is a common problem. A blocked nose can disturb sleep, force you to breathe through your mouth and leave you with a dry mouth or sore throat in the morning. Many people think a blocked nose is always caused by a cold or flu. However doctors say there can be several other reasons. Why does it happen at night? Dr. Subrata Das of Aster Whitefield Hospital says that natural changes in the body during sleep can make nasal blockage feel worse. One common reason is sleeping position. During the day when you sit or stand gravity helps mucus drain from the nose.  But when you lie down mucus can collect inside the nose, making breathing more difficult. Changes in hormones at night may also increase swelling inside the nose. People who already have allergies or nasal inflammation may notice the problem more strongly at bedtime. The nervous system can also affect the blood vessels and tissues inside the nose. Changes in nerve activity during the night may increase mucus and make the nose feel stuffy. Allergies may be the cause If your nose becomes blocked mainly after you get into bed allergies could be responsible. Dust dust mites in mattresses and pillows, carpets curtains and damp areas can trigger allergies.  Mold caused by moisture on walls can also lead to a blocked nose, sneezing and itching. Keeping the bedroom clean and dry may help reduce these problems. Acid reflux can also affect your nose Acid reflux is another possible cause. Eating a heavy meal and lying down soon afterward can allow stomach acid to move upward toward the throat. This may cause throat irritation and sometimes make nasal symptoms feel worse. If you also experience heartburn a sour taste in your mouth frequent throat clearing or a burning throat in the morning it is better to speak with a doctor. How can you get relief? The most important step is to find out what is causing the blockage. If allergies are responsible a doctor may recommend a nasal spray or other treatment. You can also try. •Keeping your bedroom free of dust •Washing bed sheets and pillow covers regularly •Cleaning mattresses and carpets •Removing mold and moisture •Avoiding meals just before bedtime •Using a safe saline nasal rinse if recommended •Warm salt water gargles may help if you have a sore or irritated throat. When should you see a doctor? Occasional nasal blockage is usually not a major concern. But if your nose is blocked every night your sleep is regularly disturbed or you have symptoms such as frequent sneezing facial pain headaches fever breathing problems or ongoing nasal discharge you should see a doctor.

    ByJustpaste.in

    Henna has been used for centuries as a natural way to color and condition hair. Many people mix henna with either tea water or coffee but which one works better? The answer depends on the type of color you want. Tea and coffee can give henna a slightly different result. Using tea water with henna Tea water is a popular choice for preparing henna. Many people traditionally use strong tea instead of plain water because it can help make the henna color appear deeper. If you want a deeper red or brown shade strong tea water may be a good option. It can also leave the hair looking soft and shiny. To prepare it boil the required amount of water and add two to three teaspoons of tea leaves. Let it cook until the water becomes dark. Allow it to cool then slowly add it to the henna powder to make a smooth paste. For a richer color some people leave the henna mixture covered for several hours or overnight before applying it. Adding coffee to henna Coffee is another common ingredient used with henna. It may help create a warmer brown tone and can add a darker look to the final color. You can mix one or two teaspoons of coffee powder directly into the henna. Another option is to make strong coffee let it cool and use it instead of plain water when preparing the paste. Tea or coffee which one should you choose? If you want a deeper red brown shade tea water may be the better choice. If you prefer a warmer brown look coffee can be added to your henna mixture. You can also use a small amount of coffee along with strong tea water.  This combination may give the hair a deeper looking color and extra shine. However, avoid adding too much coffee as it can affect the texture of the henna paste. A simple safety tip Henna is a natural hair-coloring method but natural does not always mean risk free. Before applying any homemade mixture to your hair or scalp do a small patch test first especially if you have sensitive skin. Stop using it if you notice irritation or an allergic reaction.

     Why collectors pay millions for fractured porcelain

    ByJustpaste.in

    There is a low-frequency hum inside an antique shop, an acoustic hush from dust and centuries of quiet survival. It is often the wounded object that commands the most reverence amidst the polished mahogany and gleaming silver. A spiderweb hairline fractured across the belly of a Qing dynasty jar; a cobalt Blue Willow plate stitched together with iron staples; a tea bowl held in delicate cohesion by golden veins of lacquer. In a modern economy obsessed with pristine surfaces and factory precision, these fractured ceramics defy logic. They do retain value despite their damage. Often, they derive their singular majesty precisely because they broke. The art market regularly bears witness to this quiet paradox. At major auction houses in London and New York, porcelain pieces bearing dramatic structural fractures, historic restorations or visible fractures routinely sell for astronomical sums. When a cracked 18th-century Chinese brush washer or a chipped Song Dynasty bowl is launched, purists do not turn away. Instead, connoisseurs see a vessel that has successfully negotiated with time. A pristine artifact can feel like an untouched relic in a glass museum case. A cracked ceramic, however, carries the irreplaceable friction of human history. This romantic obsession with fracture finds its deepest philosophical roots in the Japanese tradition of Kintsugi: literally, golden joinery. In 15th-century Japan, legend holds that the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa sent a damaged Chinese tea bowl back to China for repair. It returned bound by heavy and unsightly metal staples. Japanese craftsmen was displeased and sought a more poetic solution. He bonded the porcelain shards with Japanese lacquer dusting it with powdered gold. Rather than disguising the trauma, Kintsugi illuminated the break. This technique transformed a domestic accident into a radiant architecture of resilience. When collectors haunt dim antique parlors today for cracked celadon or worn earthenware, they are participating in a quiet rebellion against the disposable. We live in an era of engineered obsolescence where a small fracture on a smartphone screen renders the entire device wasted. Antique ceramics represent the opposite: fired earth that withstands centuries, absorbing the touch of generations, bearing scars as badges of longevity. A crack proves that the vessel was used, held, washed, dropped, mourned and salvaged. It shifts the object from a passive decoration to an active survivor. Even the historical methods of repair have become prized antiques in their own right. Before gold lacquer was widely available, 18th and 19th-century itinerant tinkerers repaired heirloom china using metal staples. They were drilling tiny holes on either side of a split and hammering in delicate bronze or iron rivets. To a contemporary eye, these industrial-looking stitches might seem like visual vandalism. Yet, to collectors of stapled china, those iron rivets are exquisite evidence of human ingenuity and resourcefulness from an era when nothing precious was ever casually thrown away.   Ultimately, the enduring value of cracked porcelain in antique shops lies in what it reflects about our own human condition. Perfection is intimidating, fragile and ultimately unfeeling. Rupture, on the other hand, is universal. When a buyer pays for a cracked jar, they are purchasing a physical manifestation of survival. They acquire a tangible reminder that broken things can be mended, that wounds can be highlighted with beauty and that time does not diminish value, but rather confers it.

  • Whistling Past the Graveyard

    ByJustpaste.in

    By Syed Hashim Abbas Bukhari  In the age-old debate about the pros and perils of Artificial Intelligence (AI), one of the main stances of the Luddites is the absence of emotions in AI thus making it ill equipped to handle situations requiring empathy and emotional intelligence. However, one could argue that this point of distinction between humans and AI is rapidly vanishing as we witness our younger generation increasingly suffering from the phenomenon of emotional desensitization. Let us take a walk through the realms of social media. When our country was fighting a war, the younger generation was engaged in its own meme war on social media, seemingly unaware of the seriousness and gravity of the situation. Whether the world was on the brink of World War 3, facing a new global pandemic or staring down the barrel of rocketing oil prices, the reaction of the younger generation showed alarming levels of emotional desensitization. Instead of intellectual debates, protests, or striving to find a solution, the younger generation indulges in creating memes designed to generate nothing more than likes, shares, and comments. According to researchers, emotional desensitization is a form of emotional numbing or habituation where a situation that triggered a strong feeling no longer affects you as intensely. This is becoming a rising area of concern for our elders who equate our response to these dire and serious situations as a lack of maturity and emotional sensitivity on our part. The argument presented over here is that owing to our access to endless streams of information our generation should be more emotionally evolved as compared to our predecessors. The reality, however, seems contrary to this belief, as our exposure to warfare, natural disasters, and other calamities increases, our levels of emotional sensitivity has seemingly taken a nosedive. The question that should be raised is whether we should be classified as emotionally desensitized or is it our generation just whistling past the graveyard. It is a basic human psychology that when we experience grief or trauma, which is too much to process, we use various coping mechanisms. For some of us it may be anger, humor, violence or isolation but we all have coping mechanisms enabling us to survive various emotionally charged experiences. A study of social behaviors reveals that with the passage of time we have changed our coping mechanisms. In the past humans used to display their emotional trauma or suffering through anger and sought comfort through social gatherings. In the case of our generation, social media has taken the place of social gatherings, and anger has been replaced with humor. Thus, the endless stream of memes, reels, and shorts on every emotionally charged event.  Our stance on mental health, gender equality, racism, climate change, and countless other previously ignored or snubbed issues prove us to be a more emotionally sensitive and mature generation. We are the generation that believe that actions speak louder than words. We may seem to be whistling past the various graveyards or making light of serious situations but we are the generation that is breaking down the glass ceiling, bringing down the walls of inequality, and trying to build a society that embodies the morals and values of justice, kindness, and integrity for all. With each new generation the prioritization of emotionally sensitive areas may change, the coping mechanisms may be adapted according to the changing environment, or ways to display emotions may evolve but the thing to understand is that we haven’t become emotionally disengaged or desensitized, we are only embracing our emotions in our own distinct way. As Hazrat Ali (AS) said: “Do not force your children to behave like you, for surely they have been created for a time which is different to your time.”
