The reality of being in an abusive relationship

"It Ends with Us" by Colleen Hoover addresses domestic violence in a poignant way

Some people change when they realise what’s not right; others may never change. If you’re going through an abusive relationship, give your partner a chance by recommending a read It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover.

It’s a heart-wrenching yet empowering story that addresses the issue of domestic violence poignantly. 

The novel follows the life of a young woman who falls in love with a successful neurosurgeon. Their relationship takes a dark turn when the husband’s anger issues start to surface. 

Hoover does an excellent job of tackling a sensitive issue with grace and sensitivity, making it a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of domestic violence. 

My favourite excerpts from the novel: 

All humans make mistakes. What determines a person’s character aren’t the mistakes we make. It’s how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.
 
It’s not a person’s actions that hurt the most. It’s the love. If there was no love attached to the action, the pain would be a little easier to bear.
 
Sometimes parents have to work through their differences and bring a level of maturity into a situation in order to do what’s best for their child.
 
In the last fifteen minutes, he lost the love of his life. In the last fifteen minutes, he became a father to a beautiful little girl. That’s what fifteen minutes can do to a person. It can destroy them. It can save them.

“You can stop swimming now, Lily. We finally reached the shore.”

I’m looking forward to reading the second part of the novel.

The movie:

The movie adaptation of the novel is directed by Justin Baldoni. The cast includes Blake Lively as Lily, Brandon Sklenar as Atlas Corrigan, Jenny Slate as Allysa and Justin Baldoni as Ryle.

Tips to create, monitor and update Wikipedia pages

-
Image
Wikipedia articles are typically written from a neutral point of view, citing reliable sources to support each fact or claim. The site has strict policies on conflict of interest, advertising and promotional content. Consider the following while creating or updating pages about living persons: Notability: The topic of an article must already be covered in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. These include academic journals, books, newspapers, magazines, and websites with a reputation for fact checking. Social media, press releases or corporate/professional profiles do not qualify. Obvious advertising:  Avoid saying only good things about a person, company, item, group or service. Instead, describe in encyclopedic language. Copyright: Do not copy-paste or closely paraphrase material from sources. Rather, summarize what the source says in your own words. Referencing: Independent sources (see above) are generally acceptable and should be used before other sources. Non-

Machine vs human translation and Pakistani languages

-
Image
Machine translation – e.g., Google Translate, Microsoft Translator and Amazon Translate – and human translation each have their strengths and weaknesses, but when combined, they can enhance translation accuracy and efficiency. Computer-assisted translation tools, or CAT tools, e.g., MemoQ and Matecat, offer advanced features to support human translators. Machine translation relies on algorithms and artificial intelligence. It is fast, scalable, and readily available, making it useful for quick translations and handling large volumes of content. However, machine translation may struggle with nuances, idiomatic expressions, cultural context, and maintaining the tone of the original text. Accuracy depends on the language pair and the quality of the machine translation system. On the other hand, human translation involves professional translators who possess linguistic expertise and cultural knowledge. Human translators can accurately capture the subtleties, context, and cultural nuances o

Press releases in this age

Press releases have been an essential tool for public relations and media professionals for many years, and they continue to be a valuable means of communicating news to the media and the public. However, in recent years, the media landscape has changed. In the past, it was common for media professionals in Pakistan to earn over 10 hits per press release in mainstream media. However, with the decrease in advertising revenue, media outlets have limited space for press releases, making it more challenging to get coverage.  As a result, organisations need to ensure that their press releases are newsworthy and can attract the media outlet's audience. Even a single hit in the mainstream media is considered a success, and organisations can maximise their coverage by sharing it on their social media channels and through internal email and WhatsApp communications.  It's also important to understand that getting zero coverage is not a failure. By conveying the news to mainstream media j
