If you can’t read what your doctor wrote, you are not alone. Many tech firms have attempted to solve this age old problem with little to no success. Well now, we finally have a solution.
Google is having a go at translating those unfathomable texts.
On Monday, the search giant announced at its annual conference in India that it is working with pharmacists to explore ways to decipher doctors’ poor writing.
The feature is currently a research prototype and not ready for the public yet.
Once it’s launched, Google will allow its users to either take a picture of the prescription given by their doctor or upload one from the photo library. Once the image is processed, the app deciphers the scribbles and will tell you what’s written on the prescription.
Turkish chef Nusr-et Gokce, better known as ‘Salt Bae’, has been banned from the US Open Cup final after his antics at FIFA World Cup celebrations angered football fans across the globe.
Founded in 1914, US Open Cup is the oldest and most prestigious soccer tournament in America.
Salt Bae is hereby banned from the 2023 @opencup Final
The development has been confirmed on the official Twitter handle of the US open cup.
For some reason, he was allowed onto the field with the players in the immediate aftermath of Argentina’s victory over France. He was seen with the trophy, which he even slapped and did his little “salt and pepper” trick on as well.

Lionel Messi was witnessed being approached by the owner of the steakhouse, who seemed irritated when Salt Bae grabbed his arm and dragged him off for a photo. The Turkish chef has received strong criticism as a consequence, especially from former Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster.
“Its current design dates back to 1974,” FIFA’s website reads. “As one of the most recognised sports symbols in the world and a priceless icon, the original FIFA World Cup Trophy can only be touched and held by a very select group of people, which includes former winners of the FIFA World Cup and heads of state.”
An internal investigation is being conducted to find out how the chef was authorized to be so near to the players. It is unclear how Salt Bae was permitted on the field. Additionally, he violated World Cup rules by holding the trophy.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday held that a marriage can be dissolved on the basis of cruelty inflicted by a husband upon his wife. The verdict was announced in a case filed against the Peshawar High Court (PHC) verdict which overturned the decision of the family court of dissolving a marriage on the basis of cruelty by the husband. Headed by Justice Sardar Tariq Masood, a three-judge Supreme Court bench announced the landmark verdict.
Family court had dissolved the marriage due to cruelty following the recording of evidence and hearing from both parties on a suit brought by Tayyeba Ambareen against her husband Shafqat Ali Kiyani demanding dower money, dowry items, medical expenses, and maintenance for herself and their daughter.
However, the decision was overturned and the woman was instructed to return five tolas of gold to her husband.
The SC in its verdict has said that the family court rightly dissolved the marriage on account of cruelty after a thorough examination and consideration of evidence.
Amidst Shaniera Akram’s digital feud with actors Feroze Khan and Imran Ashraf, veteran actor Noor Bukhari slammed Shaniera for being nosy.
“Please ignore her she has commitments on every celebrity,” the former host penned on Instagram.
“She commented on one of my and Resham’s posts, and we completely ignored her. I don’t even know who she is.”
Bukhari then lent support to Imran Ashraf, who clarified his driving reel with son Roham, and added, “You don’t need to explain as every parent is aware of their child’s safety and well-being. More power to you. Stay blessed, we all pray for you and your family.”
Akram then took to her Instagram story and addressed Bukhari’s criticism. “Are you kidding me?” the activist wrote. “I never said anything to you, Noor other than disagreeing that Humayun Saeed was too old to play romantic heroes. Give me a break.”
Akram continued, “I’m sorry if it offended you or anyone else, but it kills me to see people, especially ones with big followings, doing dangerous things with their kids and then posting on social media. It’s just not okay with me.” In the next story, Akram wrote, “And please get over yourself. You know exactly who I am and what I stand for.”
Later, Bukhari apologised to Akram while agreeing with the latter about the kids’ safety issue. “You are absolutely right on the safety part of our kids,” she shared on her Instagram story. “I apologise that I misunderstood you. I feel no shame to apologise as my comment was not in good taste. I’m sorry.”
Surprised by Bukhari’s apology, Akram thanked her and shared, “Wow, thank you! Really didn’t expect that. At least this is cleared up and we can move forward.”
Earlier this year Akram come forward to share her thoughts on the ageist remarks made by Noor about Humayun Saeed.
“I don’t know about this. From my experience, I think many incredible love stories happen a lot in the second half of life,” said Shaniera Akram.
“So many people haven’t found their true love or are still looking for it. There are many unmarried, divorced [and] widowed people in the world — don’t rule them out. Theirs is the true story of finding love,” she wrote in her Instagram story.
Taking to the Instagram story section, Noor said that the storyline of London Nahi Jaunga is extremely weak. She also took a jab at Humayun, believing he should be doing more mature roles. Bukhari added that “Love doesn’t happen in this age.”
The much-anticipated Lollywood film was released on the eve of Eid-ul-Azha and its leading cast includes Humayun Saeed, Mehwish Hayat, Kubra Khan and Vasay Chaudhry.
The Argentine Central Bank has proposed putting Lionel Messi’s photi on their 1000 peso banknote after the country won the FIFA World Cup. As reported by financial newspaper El Financiero, the proposals have been made by the Central Bank officials of Argentina.
“Capturing Lionel Messi’s face on the thousand-peso bill, since it is important for officials that the figure begins with a ’10’,” wrote El Financiero.
The proposal to place Messi’s face on the bank notes was, according to the publication, made “jokingly” by central bank officials.
“And before you think otherwise, this option was ‘jokingly’ proposed by members of the Argentine Central Bank, although the most enthusiastic directors, such as Lisandro Cleri, a fervent supporter of Boca Juniors, and Eduardo Hecker, a follower of Independiente, agreed on that a bill with this design would awaken the collecting spirit of Argentines,” wrote El Financiero.
The Argentina Central Bank previously created commemorative coins following Argentina’s 1978 World Cup victory. Additionally, commemorative coins were produced in honour of Eva Perón, the former First Lady of Argentina, on her passing.

For the Test series, Pakistan announced a 16-man squad on Wednesday, with a recall for fast bowler Hasan Ali while Shaheen Shah Afridi will miss out on the series due ta a knee injury.

Sajal Aly’s upcoming film “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” is one of 2023’s most anticipated films. Hollywood stars Lily James and Emma Thompson star alongside Sajal Aly in the movie which boasts a script written by Jemima Khan. The film is about a filmmaker who decides to record his best friend’s arranged marriage.
Sajal was also asked about a scene in the film where the male lead speaks to Zoe (played by Lily James) of the pressures of being brown and belonging to a different religion in Britain. Aly responded by discussing how brown women are pressurized by their families to get married.
“A lot of what we explored in the film was the pressure brown women and men have to face to get married, no matter what. A lot of Pakistanis, and thousands of South Asian women would relate to my character. She’s the face of a lot of Pakistani and Asian girls and women out there. But the good part is that by the end of the film, she will have the courage to tell the family and her husband ‘no’,” the actor said during an interview with CNN News 18.
Sajal Aly also said that women face a lot of pressure to keep working on their marriages, regardless of their own happiness. She said that no woman should be forced to remain in a loveless marriage.
“If a marriage is not working out for both of you, then just part ways in a good way. You can still be friends, you know. So the way our society keeps pressurizing women to keep making adjustments and remain in loveless marriages, that’s not right. You should never stop living your life but by doing that you’ll stop living,” she opined.
Aly further emphasized that brown women are consistently told that marriage is suppose to the central purpose of their lives, when women should never stop dreaming or achieving their goals.
“Marriage is a beautiful relationship, but don’t make your life all about it. Make it a part of it, but not all of it. Because there is so much to see in your life. But we remain steadfast around this concept and then we keep following the same routine: marriage, babies, repeat. That too is okay. But women should never stop living and never stop dreaming.”
The journalist also asked her about the rise in strong female characters on the Pakistani entertainment screen, and Aly responded by saying that their goal was to empower women and girls through their art.
“A lot of Pakistani women are actors and producers and we are actively fighting for it. We try to kind of, empower our girls and women through the art as well,” she said.

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that constitutionally Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Pervaiz Elahi is no longer the Chief Minister of Punjab.
“The Governor of Punjab had asked the Chief Minister to take a vote of confidence by yesterday, but he did not take it, so according to the constitution, Pervaiz Elahi is no longer the chief minister,” said Sanaullah.
Governor Punjab Muhammad Baligh Ur Rehman directed Chief Minister Elahi to obtain a vote of confidence from the house on December 21.
Sanaullah said that Governor Rehman is using his powers under the Constitution, adding that whenever he issues the orders [of de-notifying Elahi as chief minister], they will be implemented.
“The governor’s order de-notifying Elahi as the chief minister is now just a formality,” he said. “I think it will be issued today.”
The minister also said that Elahi cannot advise dissolving the assembly now, terming it “illegal and unconstitutional” and against the rules of the assembly.
“If this constitutional decision is resisted and its implementation is stopped, the governor can write to the federal government,” Sanaullah said. “After the cabinet’s approval, the federal government can send his advice to the president to approve the imposition of governor’s rule in the province.”
The interior minister asserted that the president is bound to follow the advice of the prime minister.
“The second option we have is that parliament can pass a resolution and then governor’s rule will be imposed for two months,” he added. “After two months, another resolution can be passed and the governor’s rule can be extended for six months.”
