PicsArt is also releasing special AI music features to make celebrating both Father’s Day and World Music Day more colorful this year.

    For many of us, both of these special occasions have played a very important role in our bonds with our fathers. Until recently, picking out the perfect gift and sending a card with a sweet message was how we celebrated Father’s Day, but with our new reality that has hit us in recent times, we have learned that the best thing is to make sure our loved ones feel special while keeping them safe.

    With the new Father’s Day stickers and templates, PicsArt users can now design their own custom cards celebrating their fathers’ lives and recreate the beautiful moments they had together with creative tools and quotes. As Father’s Day and World Music Day fall one day apart this year, you can celebrate both occasions by creating a Father’s Day video with a great soundtrack to make him feel super special — an extra treat if your dad is a music lover.

  • ‘Reach Lives’ NGO Supports over 1000 Trans-Persons during LGBTQ+ Pride Month

    Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 21: In honor of the LGBTQ+ Pride Month, ‘Reach Lives’, a Bangalore-based NGO has launched an outreach program to support transgender communities residing in Bangalore. The initiative, which commenced in early June, aims to help community members explore and access alternatives to their current livelihoods, which have been identified to be both fragile and vulnerable to abuse by the UNDP.

    ‘Reach Lives’ is a subsidiary of the Anora Charitable Foundation and aims to serve the underprivileged by providing access to quality healthcare, nutrition, and vocational education. Through their transgender outreach program, they seek to understand and deliver on the perceived needs of these communities through a sustainable plan of action.

    Speaking on the outreach program, Dr. Victor Mohan, Co-Founder & CEO of Reach Lives, said – “With the second wave of the coronavirus bringing another round of stringent lockdowns, large communities of trans-persons, in the lower socio-economic strata, were left without a source of income. Combining this with the fact that June is recognized as the LGBTQ+ pride month, we were motivated to take action, and do our part by providing the basic essentials these communities would need to tide over the remainder of the pandemic.”

    Over the course of the month, the team at Reach Lives has been organizing outreach events, sourcing and distributing ration and health kits to members of the transgender communities, equipping them to get through the remainder of this pandemic. These kits are valued at Rs. 500 and Rs. 800 per kit and are expected to be of significant help to these individuals as much of their sources of income has been adversely impacted by COVID-I9. Additionally, Reach Lives has also procured and supplied pulse-oximeters, thermometers, and other medical equipment to the heads of the communities they reached.

    Mrs. Mini Mohan, Co-Founder & CFO at Reach Lives, stated, “Our initiative first kick-was started in early June, interacting with the communities in North Bengaluru. Since then, we have been expanding our coverage to the rest of Bangalore, as well as isolated pockets of trans-persons in areas like Chikmagalur, who have personally reached out to us for help. So far, we have supported over 500 individuals from these communities, and we hope to have reached over 1000+ trans-persons in need by the end of June.”

    In addition to catering to trans-person communities with affordable and accessible healthcare, the team at Reach Lives also aims to recognize and understand the fragility of their current professions, and source of income. Through this initiative, they intend on providing consistent support to help bring about sustainable growth within these communities, even post COVID.

    To help facilitate this project, Reach Lives has partnered with various Bangalore-based non-profits to help drive success to the initiative. This includes ‘Bangalore Food Bank’, their nutrition partner leveraging partnerships with corporates and food providers. With regards to the trans-community outreach, IFBN (India Food Banking Network) has served as a major donor, and through the Bangalore Food Bank, has helped reach an additional 100 trans-persons.

    Additionally, Reach Lives is also working closely with the Dream India Network, to identify trans-persons who are seeking help in finding alternate employment opportunities, upskill them and place them in suitable, sustainable employment.

    Sharing her thoughts on the inspiration behind this initiative, Dr. Senneil Gomes, Co-Founder & Director of Communications at Reach Lives said “Ever since our inception, our sole purpose and reason for being was always to help support marginalized groups in urban and rural South India. As a group of doctors, having witnessed the first-hand catastrophic effects of delays in seeking health care in terms of health outcomes and costs, we were inclined towards focusing our efforts on providing for communities that are often overlooked. Recognizing, and honoring the LGBTQ+ pride month, we aim to do the slightest bit we can to support these underprivileged communities, and hopefully move forward in our journey of improving the overall health status of our country.”

     Among their many initiatives, Reach Lives is also currently developing a plan to help support underprivileged communities who struggle with access to the COVID-19 vaccine. Foreseeing this to be a sizeable problem, they will be working with these communities, identifying and clarifying concerns that they have, while also organizing outreach events that will bring vaccines to their localities.

    Through their initiatives, the team at Reach Lives aims to further expand to additional communities in need across South India and beyond.

  • Indian Pharmaceutical Company conducts Clinical Analysis for the Supplement to battle against Post COVID-19 difficulties

    ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 for post-resolution of mild to moderate COVID-19 patients

     

    Mumbai, Maharashtra [India], June 21: According to recent stats, 2.77 crores of COVID-19 sufferers were recovered from 2.88 crores cases in India. All corporate offices and businesses want to operate outdoors but worry much about the Post Covid difficulties and resolutions. While companies were involved in launching products and promoting claims that it fights the Coronavirus, researchers ran clinical tests to confirm how consuming immunity supplements resolve mild to moderate COVID-19 patients.

    Dr. Neha Shah, Dr. Rohit Parate, and Dr. Abhay Vispute published their findings on a new COVID-19 clinical trial in the Medical Journal of Advances in Clinical Toxicology. A randomized, open-label, 2 Arm, prospective study was investigated for the safety and efficacy of the health supplements. Fortunately, ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 as supplemental therapy was confirmed to be beneficial in mild to moderate COVID-19 patients and showed overall clinical improvement in WHO 7-point ordinal scale.

    They investigated to evaluate the effect on the primary endpoint of the experimental regimen through pairwise comparisons of the testing regimen ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 with a standard-of-care control arm and under a sequential design. The clinical trials were carried out on 60 patients in two centers, SRV Hospital, Mumbai and Chirayu Medical College, and Hospital, Bhopal.

    As the World Health Organization rightly defines probiotics as “live microorganisms that administer adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 are different as they increase immunity and improves digestion, aiding in reducing fatigue. In addition, it’s a nutraceuticals product, the only product with clinical trials as a supplement to fight against Covid-19.

    Recent clinical studies indicate that this Supplement supports the recovery of covid patients. The length of time to experience the benefits of the Supplement varies by individual. Some people notice a difference within days. For others, it’s a week or ten days. For long-term benefits, it’s essential to take the immunity bundle consistently over several months. Regular, consistent use of the Supplement will provide the best results. However, missed doses of the Supplement do not cause any harm. Consume the following amount as per your daily regime.

    According to Management of Post COVID-19 Fatigue using Systemic Enzymes and Probiotics- Case Series covered by the Medical Journal of Clinical Trials and Case Studies; “The present cases support the use of a 14 days supplementation of a combination of ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 to improve COVID-19 induced fatigue in patients post-resolution of mild to moderate COVID-19 disease. However, there is a need for large-scale, placebo-controlled prospective studies to evaluate this effect further.”

    Dr. Rohit Parate, MD Medicine, Churayu Medical College, and Hospital, observes patients with a Generalised Weakness, Dry Cough, Body Ache, Loss of Appetite, and Constipation for post-covid symptoms.

Counseling and appropriate medication help along with immunity booster help maintain the mental and physical health of the patient.”

    “Throughout this pandemic situation, we tried hard to fix this unsolvable puzzle of saving lives post-covid with natural solutions that can help people who are grieving.

  • Director Nitesh Tiwari’s Machaan looking to create a positive aura in the society

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 18: After a long time, came across a film which is really very different from the patterns which Bollywood is following now-a-days. The film Machaan is a true replica of Indian village culture, where people help each other and happily live together. The movie also focuses on different social issues and promotes many government movements, like Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, Beti bachao Beti padhao, Parivar Niyojan Abhiyan etc. and above all the importance of education and awareness in the society. Apart from this, the film also contains several situational comedies which will make audiences laugh at every stages of the film. Though, climax of the film is very emotional, and audience might not be able to control their tears.

    From a known music director of the industry, debuting with a film like Machaan as director, shows the talent of Nitesh Tiwari. Since, music has always been the strong part of him, songs of the film touch the heart and it’ll live longer among the audiences. A step by Catfish Media, Prince Madhup, the producer is really appreciated for producing such a qualitative film in the era of shining Bollywood. I believe it’s a quite good movie made in a short budget and must be appreciated by government as well.
