Dyson Strawberry Bronze, Blush Pink hair products $100 off: Black FridayHisense, a global leader in consumer electronics and home appliances has partnered with Modern Home, Hisense’s strategic partner and official distributor in Qatar, to open its new brand store in Al-Rayyan on Sunday. The event was attended by Chinese ambassador Cao Xiaolin, Darwish Holding chairman and managing director Bader al-Darwish, senior management from Hisense and Modern Home, and other guests. In a press statement, Hisense Middle East and Africa president Jason Ou said: “We are delighted to open our second dedicated brand store in Qatar in collaboration with Modern Home. This milestone reaffirms our dedication to strengthening our presence in the Qatari market, where we see significant potential for growth and innovation. “This new store offers customers an opportunity to experience Hisense’s latest AI-driven solutions firsthand, from smart home appliances to premium televisions, all thoughtfully designed to enhance modern living”. Hisense’s new brand store on Al Shafi Street brings its innovative, AI-powered technology and smart home appliances directly to consumers in Qatar. The store features a wide selection of products, including premium televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners. Addressing the partnership, al-Darwish said: “Our partnership with Hisense reflects a shared vision of bringing world-class technology and innovation closer to our discerning customers. Following the success of our first store in Lagoona Mall, this new location further enhances our mission to provide unparalleled access to cutting-edge products that elevate everyday living and redefine the smart home experience”. The opening marks a significant step in Hisense’s regional expansion, furthered by initiatives including a Dubai research and development centre, an Egyptian factory, and partnerships with major global sports organisations. Highlighting Hisense’s broader regional growth strategy, Hisense Marketing and E-Commerce director Fazalur Rahman told Gulf Times that the company’s strategy in the MEA region focuses on expanding its network of exclusive brand stores. This, he pointed out, is driven by Hisense’s comprehensive product range – covering televisions, washing machines, cookers, air conditioners, and more – and a goal of penetrating the premium market segment. According to Rahman, Hisense plans to open approximately 45 brand stores across MEA this year to capitalise on the region’s high GDP and strong purchasing power, further solidifying its premium brand positioning. About the Qatar market, he said: “It’s quite significant because there are only few markets in the GCC region, apart from, say Kuwait, UAE, where the consumer’s buying power is pretty good”. Rahman noted that other markets such as the UAE have a higher expat population. However, in the Qatar market, locals are significant consumers who value high-quality products and established brands that deliver tangible benefits and positive experiences. He said Hisense’s global strategy now is shifting towards higher-tech products, particularly AI-based offerings. Several AI products, he added, will be unveiled at the CES in the US in January. It will launch a 136-inch high-end television and a unique line of laser TVs ranging from 88 to 300 inches, catering to customers with larger homes seeking premium viewing experiences. Hisense, a leading technology and sports brand, further solidified its global presence by becoming the first Official Partner of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, renewing its UEFA Euro 2024 sponsorship, and continuing its strategic alliance with Real Madrid.

Women more likely to need walking aids but less likely to use them – studyCreed’s 2001 Thanksgiving Halftime Show Remains Unrivaled Madness‘Gladiator II’ review: Are you not moderately entertained?
And single people are more likely to use mobility tools compared to those who are married, according to researchers from University College London (UCL) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). Researchers looked at information from a group of more than 12,000 adults in England aged 50 to 89 who were tracked over a 13-year period. At the start of the study, 8,225 adults had no mobility difficulty and did not use mobility assistive products (MAPs). Some 2,480 were deemed to have “unmet need” and 1,375 were using mobility aids. During the follow-up period, there were 2,313 “transitions” where people went from having no mobility issues to needing some help with getting around. And 1,274 people started to use mobility aids. Compared with men, women were 49% more likely to transition from not needing mobility aids to needing to use them, according to the study which has been published in The Lancet Public Health. But were 21% less likely to go on to use mobility aids when they needed them. The authors said their study showed “barriers to access” for women. For both men and women, with every year that passed during the study period the need for mobility aids increased. People who were older, less educated, less wealthy or reported being disabled were more likely to “transition from no need to unmet need, and from unmet need to use”, the authors said, with this indicating a “higher prevalence of mobility limitations and MAP need overall among these groups”. They added: “Finally, marital or partnership status was not associated with transitioning to unmet need; however, single people were more likely to transition from unmet need to use compared with married or partnered people.” Jamie Danemayer, first author of the study from UCL Computer Science and UCL’s Global Disability Innovation Hub, said: “Our analysis suggests that there is a clear gender gap in access to mobility aids. “Though our data didn’t ascertain the reason why participants weren’t using mobility aids, other research tells us that women are often more likely than men to face obstacles such as cost barriers as a result of well-documented income disparities between genders. “Many mobility aids are designed for men rather than women, which we think may be a factor. “Using mobility aids can also make a disability visible, which can impact the safety and stigma experienced by women, in particular. “There’s a critical need for further research to identify and break down the barriers preventing women from accessing mobility aids that would improve their quality of life.” Professor Cathy Holloway, also from UCL, added: “Not having access to mobility aids when a person needs one can have a big impact on their independence, well-being and quality of life. “Our analysis suggests that women, in particular, regardless of other factors such as education and employment status, are not getting the support that they need.” Professor Shereen Hussein, senior author of the study and lead of the social care group at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: “The research provides compelling evidence of gender disparities in accessing assistive technology, suggesting that cost, design bias, and social stigma are likely to disproportionally affect women. “This underscores the need for inclusive, gender-sensitive approaches in the design, production and inclusivity of assistive technologies.”
