OG Host for the FIFA

In 2010 Qatar closed a deal with FIFA on hosting the World cup 2022 amidst them hosting a  friendly match between Brazil and Argentina. Qatar almost got 10 years excluding the lockdown and restrictions due to the outburst of the COVID-19 virus. Within this period this Arab state might have found the best recipe and the resources to give the best World Cup experience to their viewers. Let’s look into the 5 major reasons that are working as an advantage to this Middle east state:

The ‘transportable’ Stadium

Qatar has developed and designed some advanced stadiums. In this world Cup, The first ever transportable stadium, ‘Stadium 974’ will be used which is unique as it enables dismantling and being reassembled to any part of the world. Qatar built this transportable stadium from scratch with 974 shipping containers. This stadium is called ‘Built to disappear’ for the designated space to be used for other operations and purposes. Including this transportable stadium, there are 8 stadiums in the state where the matches will be held.

Use of Goal-line technology

Qatar has optimally used the preparation period and had a keen eye on all the advancements in technology pertaining to Football. Among the advent of numerous advanced technology, goal-line technology is the paragon of advanced facilities. Qatar has made it possible to inculcate this technology this year in the World Cup with more efficiency. For this, 14 high-speed cameras were installed to track the ball enabling the officials to take certain decisions in the spur of the moment.

Stadium cooling Technology

The stadium was built afresh after getting the deal, where the Arab state focused on the setting arrangements and the climate that can affect the audience. Qatar kept all into account and designed smart stadiums. People were skeptical of how the hot state can make their audience comfortable. In response, each stadium of Qatar has cooling technology that is responsible for providing chilled water for keeping the ground moist enough for the match, and the chilled water is converted into the cold air that will be pushed to the stadium.

Easy transportation

Qatar being a small Arab state with a developed transportation system has made the connectivity easy for its audience to trot from one stadium to the other. The stadiums were patterned in a way that provides an ease to commute for the visitors. Qatar made sure the visitors must find their accommodation within a reasonable radius of the stadiums to enhance their experience.

The first-ever “Winter World Cup.”

Thank Qatar for giving us the first-ever winter football World cup. Moreover, after the stressful prior two years of COVID-19, one will be grateful for such a surreal experience of embedding advanced technology without any compromise of any sort. FIFA made the conventional June-July tournament possible in the piping heat of Qatar by molding the rules and presenting the “Winter World Cup.”

The verdict

All in all, this can be said Qatar World Cup 2022 is here to give the visitors, viewers, players, and officials involved a different and new experience. Qatar has mindfully included all the advanced technologies and the concerns of the people while also keeping their culture intact. SMART MOVE!

Premium Smartwatches

When it comes to premium smartphones, Apple is outselling everyone else. That Apple Watches are popular is a fact no one would disagree with. But a recent research report now confirms that the Cupertino based tech giant’s range of smartwatches constitutes more than 50 per cent of total premium smartwatch sales in the international market. According to a Counterpoint Research report, the Apple Watch series now accounts for about 50.6 per cent of overall “high level” smartwatch purchases in Q3 of 2022 in the international smartwatch market.

The particular report finding was specifically about the “HLOS” smartwatches, which are high level premium operating system powered devices. There are several other brands competing in the high level smartwatch category including Samsung, Garmin, Huawei, Fitbit and Fossil among others.

After Apple, the second brand to capture the maximum consumer frenzy in premium smartwatch sales is Samsung with its 22.3 per cent market share. Next, there is Amazefit with a 7.1 per cent market share, Huwaei with 6.4 per cent, and Garmin with a 4.5 per cent market share. These figures further confirm that the range of Apple Watch has doubled the lead when it comes to capturing market share as compared to the second most sold high level smartwatch manufacturer.

The report further stated that it was the tremendous response to the newly launched Apple Watch Series 8 that catapulted the overall sales of Apple Watches pushing towards a 50 per cent market share. This was possible even though the Watch Series 8 was only recently released in the market. However, that recent release happened right before the festive reason, which might have helped in achieving the high sales figures.

Interestingly, Apple’s total smartwatch sale figures from last year also saw a similar 50 per cent growth in the same quarter as was noticed this year. The Counterpoint analysis also finds that Apple Watches saw a growth of 48 per cent year over year in September.

Meanwhile, Samsung too has shown growth in its sales figures when compared with its number from the previous quarter. Launching new models right before the festive season is one of the reasons the brand experienced such a positive trend in smartwatch shipments.

The same research report amongst its other findings also highlighted India becoming the biggest smartwatch market globally in the third quarter with its overall 171 per cent growth year over year. While North America managed to maintain its first position till quarter two of the year 2022, China slipped 28 per cent year over year for the fourth consecutive financial quarter, thanks to the continuing “zero-COVID” policy.

In the basic smartwatch segment, Noise and Fire boltt captured the maximum market share with 25.2 per cent and 24.6 per cent, respectively. The other brands competing in the basic smartwatch category are boAt, Xiaomi, and Huawei among others.

OP Social Media

Social media terminology can be confusing at times. No matter how much time you spend online, some slang or abbreviation always seems alien every other day. One such abbreviation is – “OP.” If you have seen people online, on Twitter, Instagram or even Reddit, using “OP” in conversations and wondered what exactly it meant, a quick Google search usually gives away the full form. The term “OP” can mean two different things online. Sometimes it is used in the context of “Original Post/Poster” on social media and sometimes, it can mean “overpowered” in the gaming community. To learn how to always use the term correctly, let’s take a look at the term’s meaning in different contexts.

“OP” on Social Media – Here’s How to Use the Term Correctly

Social media is usually the breeder of such slang terms that instantly gain traction and before you even realise it, they become popular and everyone starts using them in everyday conversations. “OP” which in social media means Original Post or Original Poster implies the original post or poster.

So, when someone on social media uses the term “OP” in a conversation, it means they are referring to the original person who made the post for the first time or the original post itself. The term is often used for the original poster when

The term is widely used on platforms that are conversation based, on platforms where discussions take place between different platform users. These include Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr among others.

Here’s how the term is usually used on social media. Suppose person “A” posts a tweet on Twitter. Person “B” who doesn’t know “A” replies to the tweet asking for clarification about the post. And then comes another unknown Twitter user, person “C” who answers to “B” before “A” could. Both “B” and “C” here could refer to “A” or the A’s original post as “OP” in this situation.

“OP” in Gaming Community – Here’s How to Use the Term Correctly

Online gamers usually use the term “OP” to say “overpowered.” When referencing a weapon, a character or even a skill in a game that could easily have an advantage over its opponents, gamers usually use the term “OP.” The weapon is “OP” because it’s going to be defeating every other weapon. The character is “OP” because the character is invisible.

Also Read: Google search updates will prioritize real reviews over clickbait

The best example of “OP” in gaming is the Infinity Blade in 2018’s popular game, “Fortnite.” The newly introduced weapon soon gained the reputation of being an undefeatable weapon overpowering everything else, making every player who ever found it a winner. So, for “Fortnite” players, the Infinity Blade was “OP.”

Apart from this, the term “OP” in gaming is used in reference to some other gaming slang, which should be known if you are planning on using the term. For example, if something is “OP,” players might ask for it to get a “nerf.” This means they want the OP to be weakened. Moreover, players sometimes can ask for “buff” to tackle some strong opponents or weapons and too many “buffs” can make something or someone an “OP.”
