In Pakistan, problems regarding basic necessities have become a norm. People have become used to going on and about their lives while dealing with shortages of water, electricity, and now even gas. For the past 6 months, Pakistanis have been suffering through extreme gas shortages. Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) recently announced that it would lessen the hours of gas being provided in households. According to the announcement, people would get gas thrice a day during meal times, meaning people have to live without gas for the remaining 16 hours.

However, currently, SSGC has been contradicting its own statement. In Pakistan, complaints are being received from all over the country about low gas pressures and in some places no gas at all. From Gulshan, Jauhar, and Nazimabad to areas like DHA and Badin, in Karachi, gas has been a trouble for everyone. People from Islamabad, and Lahore and other cities have been reporting it all over the internet. Here have a look.
As a result, people have started buying gas cylinders. But with poverty on the rise, this isn’t as easy and affordable as it sounds. Refilling of a 3kg cylinder now costs Rs600, a medium-sized 6kg cylinder double that, and a tall 45kg cylinder, Rs9,000. An empty new big cylinder costs Rs16,000 to 17,000 now. This is not very pocket-friendly especially when Pakistan’s majority of the population is working middle class.
How it’s affecting daily lives
Many mothers have complained that their children leave for school without breakfast because of no gas. Similarly, restaurant and cafe owners also complain saying that not only is this a loss for the business, but they have people coming to them for dinner because they are not able to cook at home but they also have no other option but to refuse the customers. Many people have gas geysers that also turn off because of no gas which deprives them of hot water in the winter as well.
It is safe to say that all Pakistanis are extremely frustrated because of this never-ending gas crisis. They are even more annoyed at the fact that no one pays any heed to their cries for help. When will things improve?
In Karachi, Dewan Motors (Pvt) Limited showcased the first-ever electric BMW i7 luxury sedan. The chairman of Dewan Motors, Dewan Yousuf Farooqui, declared that electric cars are the wave of the future. He said that by introducing more electric vehicles into Pakistan, we are excited to have a bigger impact on the country’s green environment.
The electric vehicle revolution
Dewan Motors is committed to delivering more BMW premium EVs, preparing for the future, and continually building infrastructure and are happy to participate in the electric car revolution since 2016 since it is now a reality.,

BMW is a symbol of modern luxury and a conception of high-end transportation strongly influenced by sustainability. It creates fresh commercial prospects and quickly resolves economic, social, and environmental problems.
The i7 series
Split headlights with optional Swarovski DRL and a distinctive LED-lit kidney grille give the all-new i7 Series a more opulent exterior appearance. Inside, the cockpit has the well-known BMW driver-focused cockpit design with a 12.3-inch information cluster and 14.9-inch control display.
It has a gear selector, the classic crystal iDrive controller, and gesture control touch-sensitive on the center console. The enormous 31-inch 8K roof-mounted theatre screen and the 5.5-inch touch displays on the back door handles are further highlights.
The 7 Series’ all-electric variant is known as the BMW i7. It will be available in the 101.7 kWh battery-powered xDrive60 model. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in an astounding 4.7 seconds and is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, that provide 544 BHP and 745 Nm of torque.
The BMW 7 is an all-electric vehicle with a maximum range of 625 kilometers with quick and standard charging options.

The CPU is not the only distinction between the two MacBook Air versions that are currently on the market, making a decision between them challenging. The display, camera, design, and battery life of the MacBook Air M2 (2022) have all been improved. It is a significant improvement over the MacBook Air M1 (2020), although it costs $200 extra. Your priorities for a laptop will determine if the upgrading is worthwhile.
Features
On both computers, the trackpad and keyboard have an identical feel, although there are a few minor variations. The trackpad on the MacBook Air M1 is already very large, but it is even slightly bigger on the MacBook Air M2. Additionally, the keyboard’s half-height function row on the MacBook Air M2 has been replaced with a full-height row.
Source: The verge
The 1080p webcam and the addition of a MagSafe charging connector are the two most significant feature changes on the MacBook Air M2. One of the biggest drawbacks of the MacBook Air M1 is that it only has a headphone jack, two Thunderbolt connections, and no dedicated charging connector.
Display
The display of the MacBook Air M1 is stunning, but the MacBook Air M2 has a few upgrades. The Retina display, a 13.3-inch 2560 x 1600p screen with 400 nits of peak brightness and support for millions of colors on the P3 color gamut, is what the MacBook Air M1 employs. A 13.6-inch, 2560 x 1664p screen with 500 nits of peak brightness and support for trillions of colors on the P3 color gamut is used in the MacBook Air M2’s Super Retina display.
The MacBook Air M2 has a tiny edge if you often view HDR video or employ gradients in your daily life. Although the additional pixels should result in a somewhat bigger work area, in reality, many programs black out the horizontal display strip that aligns with the MacBook Air M2’s camera notch.
Processing performance
The M1 CPU has been upgraded to become the M2 processor. The new processor’s cores outperform the M1’s cores in terms of both power and efficiency. The MacBook Air has eight processing cores total—four performance cores and four energy-efficient cores—with both the M1 and M2 processors.
Battery life
A Windows notebook with a battery life greater than the MacBook Air M1 has yet to be discovered. It can operate for 11 hours and 42 minutes on a full battery before requiring another charge (the longest-lasting Windows laptop, the Lenovo Yoga 6, lasted a little over ten hours).
Source: ZDNet
However, the MacBook Air M2, which lasts 17 hours and 10 minutes, outlasts these mediocre figures. You may choose between the MacBook Pro 13 M2 (19 hours and two minutes) and the MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max if you want even longer battery life than that (22 hours and 32 minutes). Our choice: Laptop Air M2
Our conclusion
The MacBook Air M2 is the superior option if you have an extra $200 to spare. It boasts a different charging connector, a brighter screen, a better camera and keyboard, a lot greater battery life, and a little bit more processing capability.
For those trying to save a little money, the MacBook Air M1 is a better option. Since it’s more likely to go on sale because it’s older, you wouldn’t be making many sacrifices. The MacBook Air M1 sports a brilliant, color-accurate 2K Retina display and a battery life of over 12 hours. Additionally, it sounds better than the MacBook Air M2, and the difference in performance between the two laptops’ CPUs is closed by its quicker storage speeds.

A few of his friends like Noor Zafar Khan and Nabeel Zuberi were also seen at the event along with influencers and media personalities were also present.
He had set the theme of his party related to his album aesthetic. It revolved around the lines of the bedroom and bathroom. The red carpet was a walkthrough where people could pick envelopes from the floor and get a personalized love letter from Hasan Raheem himself. At the end of the red carpet, people could enter themselves in a giveaway to win gifts from Hasan Raheem. Refreshments like cookies with peanut butter, dumplings, and cheese pizza were also served by waiters who were dressed up like Hasan in his music video.
He then performed his new songs and a few of his old ones too which were fan favorites. After finishing, Hasan took time out to give away the gifts to the winners from the crowd and take a few pictures with his fans.
Overall, the launch party was a great success. Hasan Raheem is set to perform his new songs from his latest album Nautanki soon on tour across the nation. Dates and ticket prices have been announced and locations are yet to be announced.
In order to investigate potential in the production of sustainable fuels and feedstocks in Pakistan, OMV Downstream GmbH and Pak-Arab Refinery Limited (PARCO) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mubadala Energy, a global energy corporation with its headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
As part of this agreement, the companies will look into the feasibility of pursuing initiatives in the circular economy, including the manufacture and recycling of plastics, the creation of sustainable fuels and feedstock, and the production of synthetic oil and chemical products. The alliance between Mubadala Energy, OMV, and PARCO is strengthened through this collaboration, which aims to make use of cutting-edge technology while utilizing already-existing infrastructure and market access.
The agreement supports Mubadala Energy’s recently launched sustainability strategy, which identifies three key priorities: creating a positive environmental impact, supporting responsible operations, and being a partner of choice. This is in line with Mubadala Energy’s strategy to pursue opportunities in new energy sectors and low carbon solutions. The parties to the MoU also intend to assist initiatives aimed at ensuring energy security in significant customer centres.
Mubadala Energy’s CEO, Mansoor Mohamed Al Hamed, said: “We have outlined a clear plan to seek new energy sectors and low carbon solutions in support of the energy transformation. With the help of this agreement, current partners will combine cutting-edge technology, knowledge of the energy transition, and market infrastructure to fully realise the potential of circular economy solutions. I’m eager to see how this partnership can help the UAE achieve its objective of net zero emissions.
The initiative is in accordance with OMV’s strategy to become a leading, cutting-edge producer of sustainable fuels and feedstock and supports the company’s net zero emissions goals. The partnership has the potential to advance PARCO’s position as a key participant in the circular economy and extend its integration with the chemicals and materials sector, all while actively developing sustainable, low-carbon solutions that support business diversification.
The Managing Director of PARCO, Mr. Shahid Mahmood Khan, stated, “As the country’s energy lifeline, we commit to achieve a sustainable energy future for the Country. Pakistan has a lot of promise when it comes to switching to cleaner fuels. We are pleased to work with OMV and Mubadala Energy to hasten Pakistan’s energy transition. Their technology and knowledge will be crucial in examining potential directions for the circular economy and sustainable fuels.
Fuels & Feedstock Executive Officer Martijn van Koten, a member of the OMV Executive Board, stated: “We are pleased to engage in this collaborative endeavor, which complements our sustainable business plan. Our goal to increase the production of sustainable fuels and our ReOil technology depends on our ability to source sustainable raw materials and plastic trash. With its wide expertise in important sustainable technologies, OMV, in my opinion, can significantly contribute to the success of this collaboration.

The new status update functionality is buried within a large batch of future WhatsApp improvements. According to WABetaInfo(opens in new tab), the corporation is working on 10 new tools. Most of the tools are now accessible through the Android app’s beta version, but one is only available on iOS devices.
Source: Mint
For Android
WhatsApp is presently testing audio status updates for Android, allowing users to submit voice memos as status updates rather than plain text. A maximum of 30 seconds can be recorded, and if you don’t like what you hear, you can delete the status update before starting another one. End-to-end encryption of notes is confirmed, “Ensuring that only the individuals you pick using your privacy settings may listen to them.” Additionally, they automatically vanish after 24 hours, or you can remove them at any moment.
The present voice status update version does have limitations, though. Only a small number of people who download the beta version of the app will be able to record updates. Additionally, other users won’t be able to listen until they have the beta loaded on their phones.
New upgrade for Chat transfer
The development team is also working on a new conversation transfer feature that will enable you to safely move your chat history to a new Android device without using Google Drive, thereby cutting out the middleman. To migrate, first use the conversation transfer tool on your old phone, then launch WhatsApp on the new device, and last scan a QR code(opens in new tab). Given that an iOS version “is not planned at the time,” according to WABetaInfo, it appears that this is only available for Android smartphones.
Source: Business standard
The new shortcut-blocking features round out the notable Android upgrades. One allows users to block contacts from inside a notice, while the other enables users to ban contacts from within the chat list (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab). Be careful that the latter function only shows if you get a message from an unidentified sender. You may avoid unintentionally blocking someone you know with this method.
iPhone exclusive features
Instead of tapping and holding the on-screen button, WhatsApp is introducing tabs to the in-app camera for iOS so you can quickly switch between capturing pictures and recording videos. It’s unclear whether switching to photo mode will cause the video mode to cease recording altogether. It would be sad if the recording stopped after switching, so hopefully it’s the former.
Sadly, the WhatsApp iOS beta program is now full, so any more interested iPhone owners won’t be able to test out the future camera option. However, the most recent Android beta is still accepting testers through the Google Play Store. Everything’s official launch dates are yet unclear.

Baba Vanga rose to fame during the dark days of the Second World War. Right through to her death in 1996, she was renowned for her apparent ability to foretell the future. Comparisons were made with Nostradamus and many devotees also believed she had predicted 9/11 and even the rise of Donald Trump.
Her full name was Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, commonly known as Baba Vanga. She was a Bulgarian mystic and herbalist and was blind since early childhood. Many people, like Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, sought her guidance. However, making sense of her talents is tricky, since many of the predictions attributed to her are based on second-hand accounts that are difficult to verify.
Baba Vanga had made previous predictions that have seemed to come true. Here are two of them that came true.
1. 2022 droughts and floods
Baba Vanga made a total of six predictions for 2022. Two of them have already come true. She predicted that large cities around the world would be hit by significant droughts and water shortages. The UK has just experienced the driest July since 1935 and the government officially declared a drought on 12th August 2022. Other countries in Europe are also seeing similar issues as parts of France, Italy, Portugal, and more are facing record-breaking droughts and devastating wildfires.
Baba Vanga also predicted that Australia and Asia would be rocked by severe floods. In July, eight months of rain fell in Sydney in just four days which lead to flooding for the third time in 2022. Meanwhile, Japan’s official weather agency has warned of flooding in Tokyo and the surrounding areas as the country battles a major tropical storm. Pakistan has also faced the worst monsoon flood in over a decade. Although her vision of a deadly virus in Siberia kickstarting another pandemic hasn’t come true yet.
2. 9/11
One of the most widely cited predictions relates to the terrorist attacks of September 11. ‘Horror, horror!’ she reportedly said in 1989. ‘The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will behowling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing. The ‘steel birds’ refer to the hijacked planes, while the ‘American brethren” are the Twin Towers. It’s also striking that she uses the word ‘bush’. This may be interpreted as a reference to then-President George W. Bush, who would lead the ‘wolves’ of American military might in the retaliatory War on Terror.
Although her vision of a deadly virus in Siberia kickstarting another pandemic and World War Three commencing in 2010 has fortunately not come true.
Future Predictions For 2023
1. A Devastating Solar Storm
Wikipedia
One of the most alarming 2023 predictions attributed to Baba Vanga concerns a solar storm which could have calamitous consequences. The term ‘solar storm’ can refer to several phenomena on the sun’s surface, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
2. A Change In Earth’s Orbit
This is a particularly fascinating 2023 prophecy and one which would have ramifications for us all. There might be soaring temperatures and radiation levels, with terrible environmental consequences.
3. A Bioweapon Atrocity
It’s also been said that Baba Vanga had a vision of bioweapons tests being carried out by a big country in 2023. It also seems relevant to the current, heated geopolitical context. This is definitely one of the more disturbing predictions. However, the nation where it might occur hasn’t been figured out yet.
There is not much information on any of these predictions, since, Vanga’s predictions have never been literal and decoding is needed. But hopefully, none of them will come true.
Android is finally catching up with Apple. Google is allegedly developing a rival to Apple’s AirTags, a first-party location-tracking device that can be attached to things to help you find them in case they ever go missing, according to developer and Android leaker Kuba Wojciechowski. This fall, the project, code-named “Grogu” (after the well-known character from The Mandalorian), may be introduced with new Pixel phones.
The science behind the name
Source: Crest
According to Wojciechowski, the tracker is presently being developed by the Google Nest team under the codename “Grogu” (the name of the newborn Yoda character from the Star Wars television series The Mandalorian), as well as the alternative names “GR10” and “Groguaudio.” This does not imply that it will be sold under the Nest name, but Wojciechowski speculates that the tracker may come in a variety of colors and have an inside speaker to enable users to locate a lost device by sound, much like an Apple AirTag.
How does it work
Wojciechowski discovered references to locating tags in Fast Pair, a feature of Google’s Android software that makes it simple to quickly pair items like wireless earphones with Android smartphones, and he reported all of this. The Nest team, which is in charge of creating Google’s line of smart home goods, is reportedly working on Grogu, though it may not ultimately be a Nest product.
Source: 9to5google
Similar to AirTags, Grogu is said to have a little speaker on it to assist you to locate anything you’ve misplaced. Additionally, Wojciechowski mentioned that Google’s tags may employ both Bluetooth and ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to aid with item tracking. UWB capabilities, which are more accurate than Bluetooth for tracking, are included on both Pixel 7 phones. This may be an exciting debut for UWB, which Google hasn’t really found a solid use case for now.
When is it expected to launch
According to Wojciechowski, Google may introduce the product at some point in May 2023’s Google I/O Developer Conference, and the trackers may be made available alongside new Pixel devices during a Google event in the fall.

Education has been a driving factor in the development of a nation. A strong education system serves as a stepping stone in the progress and development of any nation. Those countries that have to prioritize education over other socioeconomic activities have excelled in fields not known to other countries. Pakistan’s education system dates back decades ago. However, even with the most extensive contributions and curriculums, Pakistan’s education system lack behind in so many ways.
The literacy rate also plays a very major role in driving the education sector of the country. Many nations whose socioeconomic conditions aren’t as successful as Pakistan’s still offer a better literacy rate in many aspects.
Accessibility To Modern Technology
One of the most notable differences between Pakistani and foreign education is the availability of modern tools and facilities for the sector. When Covid-19 started, a new concept of online education was introduced in Pakistan. Whereas, almost all educational institutions in different parts of the world were already familiar with the idea and hence they didn’t take any time to pace up with the online lectures, activities, and exams.
Even in the most unreliable circumstances those institutions were prepared and had access to all possible means to continue the education up and running even when everything stopped. Meanwhile, the concept of online education was introduced among Pakistani students after weeks of sitting idle at home. Even then the learning curve that came with understanding the technicalities of software tools and resources was so big that it left a huge gap in between.
When it comes to quality of education, adhering to rules and not molding them as per international standards have also created a huge gap between Pakistani and international education. In Pakistan, the main focus of education is the quantity and how much a student can retain for how long – a term commonly known as ‘Ratta’ – defined as nothing more than a rat race where your measure of education is not defined by technical and practical skills but by how much paper you can fill in an exam.
Meanwhile, the international education standard drives mainly on skills. The eagerness to learn more than what is just written in the books as well as making use of interactive and problem-solving skills also allows students to look at things from a whole new perspective. Something which is not accessible if the education is primarily sustained from textbooks.
Career counseling is another loophole in the Pakistani education system. Lack of career counseling among students has led to saturation in various fields while some of the fields are left unexplored because not enough value is given to these sectors. The exploration of resources and modifying the education system is the basic need of our education system. The development of good infrastructure can hence lead to a solid ground that can put our education system at the forefront.
Update- Jan 19, 2023: Just yesterday, Feroze Khan was bashed by Yasir Hussain, for his unethical acts. However, it didn’t take long for other celebrities to join the “We Hate FK Club”. Many celebrities showed proof of being harassed by posting pictures of their call logs on Instagram. Here, take a look.
“It is bizarre and despicable that private information, including phone numbers, of various famous individuals, has been publicly shared on the absurd pretext of issuing a legal notice to them by @ferozekhan Not only are such actions clearly illegal but also demonstrates the total lack of maturity to handle matters in a civilized way. Two days ago @ferozekhan had one ex-wife and her lawyer now he will have to face 10 celebrities and their lawyers who stand against him. Good luck!” said Sarwat Gillani.
Sharmeen also posted another story saying this.
Other celebrities were of similar opinions and they also posted on Instagram about their decision. Aiman and Minal, both shared the same posts.
Minal’s husband also showed his support for the victim celebrities.
Other celebrities like Asim are still quiet but fans certainly aren’t quiet. Many are saying that these celebrities deserve this because they meddled in Feroze’s personal life. They have been calling it “karma”
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Jan 18, 2023. Feroze Khan has been getting backlash from many different celebrities after his new shenanigan. There has been some progress in his divorce from his wife, Alizeh. He recently pressed defamation charges against his wife and all other celebrities who spoke on his controversial matter. After Fahad Mirza, another name in the industry has spoken about how unethical it was for him to leak people’s personal details. Have a look.
He also reshared Meesha Shafi’s story to show “solidarity” with all the people who got their numbers and addresses leaked.
People on the internet have been showing support for celebrities who are bashing Feroze for his unethical actions.
Stay tuned to Brandsynario for more updates.
Feroze Khan has been the talk of the town since last year October after his wife came out with triggering pictures on the internet. She posted pictures showing that she had been facing domestic violence and had filed for a divorce.
Netizens bashed Feroze Khan and said all that was on their minds, for obvious ethical reasons. Posting other people’s personal details is considered wrong, especially when you release such information for 7.4 million people. After that, Feroze and his wife have come out with multiple Instagram stories and posts regarding their separation and divorce status.

After not much progress, Feroze Khan just came out with another Instagram story that has made him the focal point of hate once again. Feroze Khan not just only filed a case against his ex-wife but also against his co-fellows who support Aliza Sultan and try to defame him. He took to Twitter to announce this.
– Defamation Legal Notice Has Been Served By My Legal Team To Those For False and Baseless Allegations.
Here’s the official statement from Feroze Khan and his legal team.
Ever since this fiasco, a lot of celebrities including Iqra Aziz have denied working with him. Moreover, many celebrities even took to their Instagram to personally call him out this time. Like Fahad Mirza, the actor, model, and plastic surgeon posted an Instagram story titled “MORON ALERT”. Have a look.
Looks like Feroze Khan is in for a bumpy ride. This is an ongoing real-life drama and all his fans and other people on social media are waiting to see what happens next. But for now, they have picked their sides.
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments below.

Silk’s history of being kept away from the world because of its value only to be shared with the world at a later stage also mirrors realme’s efforts with democratizing technology over the years which was first locked into more premium segments. realme believes that luxury shouldn’t be hidden behind a steep price tag and that luxury is a feeling everyone deserves.
Before the Galaxy S23 series debuts on February 1 at the Unpacked event, Samsung’s CEO, TM Roh, wrote a blog post. It discusses the company’s future ambitions, establishes new performance requirements, and pledges an environmental commitment. Read all about it here.
Upgrading performance
In the article, TM Roh discusses new performance requirements that apply to both camera capabilities and raw performance. He claims that several hardware and software updates will enable the new Galaxy S23 series to give an even better, more sophisticated photography experience. Consequently, new sensors and enhanced camera software are to be expected.

Roh also makes a suggestion that the newest Galaxy S series will be powered by Samsung’s new processor, providing the quickest and smoothest Galaxy S experience yet. The business is anticipated to switch from using its own Exynos chipsets to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
The S23 Ultra saga
The Galaxy S23 Ultra, which combines the greatest features of the discontinued Note and its S Pen with the Galaxy S line’s wide appeal, is briefly discussed in the official statement. And many more gadget types will benefit from the S23 this year. We’re curious.
Looking out for the environment

Last but not least, Samsung claims it is intensifying its environmental policy, which was first revealed back in September, and would use even more recycled materials while maintaining quality and durability. In the end, extending the lifespan of cell phones will undoubtedly result in less technological waste. It appears like Samsung is doing a very excellent job at this by guaranteeing at least 4 years of significant software upgrades to its flagship handsets, which is another approach to lengthen the lifespan of its smartphones.

People have started identifying themselves as multiple genders, also known as being enby or nb but this new category will blow your mind. After transgender, and transracial, we have ‘transabled’.
Who are transabled people?
Transabled people are physically healthy people who feel they should’ve been born disabled. This is when a person feels that one or more of their limbs do not belong to them so they intentionally disable themselves. Although this segment of the population is very small, it is still gaining popularity by the day. A man in Great Britain cut off his leg because he felt like an amputee, and another woman poured drain cleaner in her eyes because she felt blind.
Here is the video of Jewel Shuping who wanted to be blind from childhood. In an interview with Bancroft TV, she described pretending to be sightless and wearing thick dark glasses. By age 20, she could read Braille fluently. At age 21, she blinded herself with drain cleaner — she says with the help of a psychologist.
Body Integrity Identity Disorder
Some of these people justify their actions by calling themselves patients of BIID, Body Integrity Identity Disorder. This means that a person suffers from body dysphoria and has a strong feeling to be disabled in a certain way. Many people live with this feeling but a significant minority feel it so strongly that they actually go and do something to make it happen says Dr. Michael First, a leading expert on such cases.
He talks about all sorts of prevention proving to be useless for such people and that ethics is the main problem. Because it is ethically wrong to make a normal person disabled. He also fears that people may change their minds once they have gone through with the procedures. The case of Jewel Shuping is one of many such rare cases.
And another man cut off his leg to feel like an amputee because he felt like it. Nick O’ Halloran says ‘IT’S JUST NOT MINE’ and pretends to be an amputee and wants to cut it off even though there is nothing wrong with it. He feels as if that is the only way he can feel comfortable with himself. His right leg is heavily bandaged, stopping at the knee, and he hobbles around on crutches. Have a look at this.
But the truth of why Nick appears to be an amputee is not because he lost a limb. The former special needs teacher, 29, is actually fully able-bodied yet suffers from a condition that stops him from recognizing his leg as his own. He is so desperate to have his right leg amputated that he injected it with alcohol in an attempt to force doctors to perform the surgery and he has been fleeced out of £20,000 for a sham amputation. He refers it to as his end goal in life.
Where Does This End?
Transgender, transracial, transabled, guess what’s next? A grown man posted an ad on Craigslist wanting a nanny because he identifies as a baby. You can’t make this stuff up. Ridiculous? Perhaps. But who is to say anymore? If a healthy person can mutilate themself because they feel disabled and if a grown man can identify as a baby because he feels infantile, where does this end? Can a teenager buy alcohol because they identify as over 21 years old? Can a grown man attend kindergarten because he identifies as a six-year-old girl? Can a child spend the day at doggy daycare instead of school because they feel like a canine?

On Tuesday, Apple Inc. presented its first brand-new goods for 2023, including quicker models of its pricier MacBook Pro laptops and Mac mini desktop computers.
What’s new in the MacBook
The new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which debuted in late 2021, share the same design cues as their predecessors but include more potent M2 Pro and M2 Max CPUs in instead of the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors. The M2 processor, which made its debut in the MacBook Air and a less expensive MacBook Pro last year, gets its first expansion in the new computers from Apple.

Over 10% of the computer giant’s sales were generated by the product line’s $40.2 billion increase thanks to the new Macs. Later this year, the company intends to add an M2 processor variant to its premium Mac Pro desktop PCs. Additionally, Apple is developing upgraded MacBook Air models, including a bigger variant with a 15-inch screen.
Newer models’ CPUs provide small performance improvements but prevent Apple from employing Intel Corp processors inside its Mac devices. Up to 12 primary processor cores—a performance indicator—will now be available in the M2 Pro, an increase from 10. The previous high for graphics was 16 cores, but now it will be up to 19. With 38 cores instead of the previous limit of 32, the M2 Max doubles graphics performance.
According to Apple, the new MacBook Pros include Wi-Fi 6E, which might provide quicker wireless performance under certain conditions, as well as stronger HDMI connections to support more sophisticated external displays. Additionally, Bluetooth 5.3 will be added to the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini, which should enhance both speed and latency.
What about the MacMinis
The newest Macmini models, which have been around for more than two years, also have a lot of similarities with earlier iterations. The M2 Pro version of the Mac mini has the same chip that is in the new high-end MacBook Pro, while the M2 chip found in the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro is added to the Mac mini.

Notably, the business has been able to abandon one of its final models using Intel CPUs thanks to the release of the Mac mini with a faster M2 Pro chip. On Tuesday, the business also ceased selling expensive Mac minis with non-Apple CPUs. The Mac Pro desktop is currently the only Intel device in the Apple range.
What is Apple aiming for?
Apple’s plans for new MacBook Pros and Mac Minis, including an anticipated launch in early 2023, were originally revealed by Bloomberg last year. Apple had planned to release the new devices in 2022, so the delay is anticipated to have an impact on the most recent quarterly results. Investors have been cautioned by the business that the lack of MacBook Pro upgrades may hurt its Christmas sales, which Apple will announce on February 2.
The Cupertino, California-based business aims to release a mixed-reality headset in 2023 in addition to the new Macs. This will be its first significant new product category since the Apple Watch went on sale in 2015. The iPhone 15 range is also being developed along with an upgraded Apple Watch and a new HomePod speaker.
Apple plans to start using touch displays in the MacBook Pro in 2025. Apple’s high-end computer firms Microsoft Corp. and Dell Technologies Inc. will be able to use the change, and it will also improve interoperability with equipment made by other laptop makers. Additionally, it will enable Apple to offer a more seamless software experience across all of its products.

The terms “overpopulation” and “population explosion” are used to describe the idea of a growing population with dwindling resources. Pakistan has now become the fifth most populated nation in the world. Presently, Pakistan has a population size of 225,199,929 with a growth rate of 1.9%. The United Nations has predicted that at this rate Pakistan will hit the 380 million marker by 2050. What are the reasons behind this rising population?

Causes
1. More Earning Hands Are Required
In developing countries like Pakistan, a single person cannot support his large family. So people believe that having more children will provide them with more earning potential. Especially in the lower working class, the husband and wife think of birth as more of an opportunity rather than a liability. There are families in Pakistan with as many as 15 children.
2. Family Planning Isn’t Available
In Pakistan, there is no effective family planning. The methods of family planning are unfamiliar to most people. They are hesitant to seek medical advice. The concept has now become now taboo and isn’t talked about enough.
3. Relatively Low Death Rate
Another cause of overpopulation is a decrease in the death rate. In 1951, the death rate was 2.8 percent, but in 2010-11, it was only 0.73 percent. Moreover, the birth rate and pregnancy rate are higher and continue to increase.
4. Afghan Refugees
The influx of refugees from India, particularly Afghanistan, has resulted in an increase in population. Pakistan is home to 1.3 million Afghan refugees, over 421,000 of whom live in the worst affected districts. Many others have come to Pakistan for medical care, to study and work, to temporarily find safety, or to transit to another country.
5. Polygamy Experimentation
Polygamy is the state or practice of having multiple wives at the same time. Polygamy is another factor that contributes to population growth. It is heavily practiced in Pakistan, especially in more religious or poor families. The more wives the man has the more children the family has.
6. Population Inefficiency
In our county, the dependency ratio is extremely high. Only 32.17 percent of the population participates in economic activities, while the remaining 67.83 percent relies on them. It sees land pressure and population expulsion as a problem. Women, especially do not participate in such practices and those who do are criticized by society.
7. Marriage Universality
Wedlock is entered into by all men and women of marriageable age. As a result, Pakistan’s birth rate is higher. And now early marriages are also being encouraged.
Consequences:
The consequences of an extremely fast-growing population can already be seen in Pakistan. Low Income Per Capita is calculated by dividing national income by the total population. Low per capita income indicates population growth. Pakistan’s per capita income is $1254 which is not a lot when compared to what it should’ve been. Further, unemployment is also seen as a sign of overcrowding.
It is difficult to adjust economic activities to accommodate such a large population. Pakistan has a 5.6 percent unemployment rate. Another consequence is low living standards and it has been observed that low-income Pakistanis have more children. It is difficult to provide for such a large family. As a result, the population’s living standards are low. There is a scarcity of food, water, and other necessary resources which leads to inadequate nutrition.
In developing countries like Pakistan, a high population growth rate has negative consequences for economic development. In Pakistan, a high rate of population growth means poverty, illiteracy, a low standard of living, a lack of prosperity, and a vicious cycle of poverty.

The first HABIBMETRO Sirat Islamic banking summit, which was attended by a number of stakeholders including SBP, PSX, and SECP officials as well as CEOs and Shariah Board Members of various banks, Shariah scholars, and businessmen, was organised by HABIBMETRO Sirat, the Islamic banking brand of HABIBMETRO Bank.
The Summit was arranged to commemorate the arrival of Tan Sri Dr. Daud Bakar, the chairman of the HABIBMETRO Sirat Shariah Board and a renowned international expert on Islamic law and award-winning author from Malaysia. Dr. Daud is the Founder & Group Chairman of Amanie Group and is a Shariah Board Member of various foreign banks. He has been awarded with ‘The Royal Award for Islamic Finance 2022’ by the King of Malaysia.
Tan Sri Dr. Daud Bakar presented interactive sessions with a variety of audience groups throughout the day-long summit and covered new prospects and difficulties in the international Islamic banking sector.
Tan Sri Dr. Daud Bakar gave a speech at the event and said, “I am extremely pleased and privileged to be here in Pakistan and to represent HABIBMETRO Bank, which has established itself as one of the most trusted financial institutions here in Pakistan, courtesy of its global vision of progressing and playing a crucial role in shaping the Islamic finance sector of the country.
Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, Ms. Sima Kamil, presided over the Summit’s opening session. The Deputy Governor stated during her speech that “money is a crucial prerequisite for the success of any economy, and Islamic finance by virtue of its faith-based structure has natural synergies with risk and reward mechanisms that offer an appropriate solution. Islamic financial structures stem from Shariah, which emphasises a close connection between financial transactions and the actual economy and requires that Islamic financial transactions be supported by underlying productive activity.
She continued, “The fundamental difficulty here is the adequate supply of Islamic finance professionals. This is a challenge that has to be overcome in order to convert conventional banking into Islamic banking. However, she reassured that the State Bank of Pakistan remains fully committed to providing all possible support and facilitation to the banks during their conversion process. There is an increasing need for qualified Islamic finance professionals who can lead the financial industry to the next stage.
When he welcomed the distinguished attendees to the Banking Summit, Mr. Mohsin Ali Nathani, President & CEO of HABIBMETRO, remarked, “We are extremely proud to have Tan Sri Dr. Daud Baker, a scholar and author of international renown, chair HABIBMETRO Sirat’s Shariah Board. For all of us, his trip to Pakistan is a tremendous learning experience. His direction and vision significantly bolster HABIBMETRO’s Islamic banking division. Insha’Allah, under his direction, and with the SBP’s encouragement of Islamic Banking, HABIBMETRO Sirat will experience significant growth.
Since 18 years ago, HABIBMETRO has promoted Islamic banking. The Bank’s strategy objective for promoting and expanding Islamic banking in Pakistan is in line with that of the government and SBP. The main market for Islamic products is in Pakistan, which is where the Sirat brand originated. It is also sold in the UK, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Switzerland. HABIBMETRO Sirat is one of the top 5 Islamic Banking Windows in Pakistan.
