With the second wave of COVID on the rise, the government has been imposing smart and micro lockdowns anywhere they monitor an increasing number of Covid cases. But even with all these measures, the pandemic seems to spread further. HEC has announced closing all educational institutes from 26th November all the way up to 24th December, after which winter vacations will ensue, which will end on January 10th, 2021.

Closing educational institutes

On Thursday, November 26, HEC issued more guidelines as a follow-up on the matter of institutes’ closure. They reiterated that educational institutes should choose to dispense education through online platforms. They also said that even though they have scheduled January 10 as the end of vacations, they will be reviewing the situation in the first week of January. Should they find that it is still dangerous; the closure might continue.

SECOND WAVE OF #COVID_19

Latest HEC Policy Guidance for Universities is available at https://t.co/ncEgsE8708 #UniversitiesInPakistan #HECPakistan #OnlineLearning #SOPs

— HEC Pakistan (@hecpkofficial) November 26, 2020

Additional guidelines

However, not all students will be staying at home. HEC has allowed relaxation for some of them. For instance, low-income students facing connectivity issues at home can come to campus. Alongside them, international students, students doing MPhil, Ph.D., or final year students completing their theses and need access to laboratories, can also go to campus. Medical students in need of clinical training will again be visiting, and the teachers can go to the universities to record their lectures.

HEC added further that:

“The above flexibility is to be exercised most judiciously, and only if the campus presence of the said individuals is essential.”

Even if people are choosing to cash on this relaxation, the total presence on campus cannot exceed 30% of total enrolment.

“Universities will clearly announce their policy on which category is allowed on campus and at what time and with what scrutiny mechanisms or safeguards.”

And it should be noted that HEC has announced a PKR 10 million fund for each public sector university to establish arrangements for online education platforms or supports to improve the existing online platforms further.

This is so that every student can obtain an education without any obstacles. HEC also suggested that to achieve this purpose, making the online education process better, they can choose to recruit tech-savvy students in assisting the faculty with technology problems.

Even though everyone is striving to get used to the idea of the new normal, it will take us time to adjust. Let’s help each other and the authorities out in tackling the pandemic.

5 Things You Didn’t Know About The Naran V8 Hyper Coupe!

Naran Hyper Coupe and things to know — Image Source: hypebeast.com

Do you remember the film ‘Furious 7’? Yes, it is common information that by the 7th installment, the franchise had taken a huge nosedive. However, there is one aspect of the movie to be noted here. When the group decided to crash a party in Dubai, they were encountered by a supercar. It was a Lykan Hypersport, and there is only a handful of them.

That car, being a supercar, was no less in performance neither was it brittle. Of course, the film’s exaggerating script caused it to jump from one building to the next! However, despite the exaggeration, the Lykan Hypersport is an imposing vehicle. In terms of supercars, a new company has emerged with one; it is the Naran V8 Hyper Coupe!

1. The History

Rewinding slightly back, the world has seen quite a jump in the production of supercars. These are vehicles that have surpassed the limits of everyday modern cars and are residing at the top. Bugatti has also had its hands dipped in this industry. It takes an awful lot of effort and power to make a car go beyond 250 on its speedometer. The Naran Hyper Coupe is one to be trifled with.

The minimum requirement to enter the supercar game is to make sure you’re getting 1, 000hp output, at least. It can go much beyond, but it has to be at least this. The car itself will also cost a ton of money. In the case of Naran, the car is the innovation of Ameerh Naran. He is an Indian-Zimbabwean entrepreneur who shifts his focus from his private jet empire to building high-performance vehicles.

2. The Quantity

Since the cars have a high production value and require an immense amount of effort, not many go into production itself. The Naran company is quite confident in its upcoming super car, though. They intend to make 49 units of the car, all of which will be built in Germany.

It comes as no surprise, however, that the production would be from Germany. The country has had a robust history of automobile manufacturing. Additionally, the Naran Hyper Coupe (Yes, it is a 4 seater) will use BMW M8’s chassis and Suspension.

3. Under The Hood:

Let us open up the bonnet and take a gander inside. Inside, the vehicle is powered by a twin-turbo V8, 4.4litre engine. However, this engine will be tuned to reach hypercar levels, so the 4.4 will jump to 5.0 liter. Speaking the capacity language here, that’s a 5000cc car! They also intend to jump up the turbo size.

All of this, combined, results in 1 048 horsepower. However, Naran claims that there is more room for a higher power. Again, BMW’s ZF 8-Shift will take care of the vehicle’s transmission, and the car will feature an AWD drivetrain. This can, although, be switched to RWD at the push of a button! Is that not impressive?

4. Performance Figures

The company claims that the Naran Hyper Coupe will sprint from zero to sixty in approximately 2.3 seconds. This is a staggering figure for a vehicle of its dimensions. Of course, it is a supercar, and beyond 3 seconds might have been considered slow for it. According to this statistic, it will reach 100 in 4.56 seconds.

The vehicle’s top speed is expected to be 230mph, but it can allegedly go well beyond it. All of this sounds like quite an impressive job for a company new to the supercar world. It has much to do if it intends to compete in the market with titan such as Bugatti’s Chiron Super Sport 300+

5. What Will It Cost?

Yes, this must be one of the most bothering questions on one’s mind. What will be the price of the car? It should not come as a surprise that, being a supercar, it will definitely cost a ton. This car is no different in that regard.

Naran intends to charge its customers $1 136, 950 for an entry-level model. If they intend to make modifications and optimizations to the vehicle, the figure will go much higher.

So there we have it, the Naran Hyper Coupe and everything you didn’t know about it!

Muslim Vogue Model Halima Aden Quits Fashion Over Religion

By

Nov 26, 2020

In the glamorous lights of the fashion industry, having Muslims as your models on the international forums has become a marker of inclusivity. And if they wear hijab, well, that’s cherry on top. So brands, when they hire Muslim models, they do it mostly in a way that they control how a hijab is on display. In innovative ways, they cover the model’s head but take away the model’s agency on practicing her values. Somali-American model, Halima Aden, went through something similar.

Halima Aden: The model

Aden became famous when she participated in the Miss Minnesota USA Pageant, competing while wearing hijab and burkini. This was the first time it happened there. She has been doing some fantastic work, and all that in her hijab is breaking the stereotype that a hijab holds you back.

But can it go the other way round? Can the work that your hijab is not stopping could be somehow affecting your hijab? Well, that is something Aden had an epiphany about. In a series of Instagram stories, she shared how she was struggling with her Muslim Hijabi identity.

Mapping The Context

“I can only blame myself for caring more about opportunity than what was actually at stake.”

She also shared a photo of her from the first fashion campaign she did for Rihanna. She mentioned that Rihanna let her wear the hijab she came with. And this speaks volumes about the struggles of practicing Muslim hijabi models. That they are not allowed to wear what they bring. Instead, the stylists dress them up the way they want, usually the way it highlights the brand’s products. She blamed this on ‘the lack of Muslim women stylists’ in the industry. And it is a fact that people who have a similar identity are better able to understand you.

A post shared by Halima Somali (@halima)

And thus, it spreads so much in our consciousness sometimes that we leave our values and conform to what has been seen in the mainstream culture. Halima mentions that:

“Fellow Muslim sisters would send me DMs and even publicly tag me at the start of my career to say ‘stop dressing like an old woman’… which made me feel like I was doing something wrong … I remember wanting to be the ‘hot hijabi’ as if that didn’t just defeat the whole purpose. A hot mess is what it was truthfully.”

That’s it!!!

She would miss prayers often, not to mention how a brand made her wear jeans in place of a headscarf. She felt like she lost her style and her style was skirts, long dresses, all with her signature headscarves.

When the jeans incident happened, she remembers how she went to her hotel room and cried, but she was too scared to let go of a fantastic opportunity to advance her further in her career. She ends her statement in a significant way:

“If my hijab can’t be this visible, I’m not showing up, period. This is the standard moving forward if you want to work with me. Come correct or don’t come at all.”

She says that if someone wants her, they can get her on ‘her’ terms. She has put her foot down for anything that remotely hurts her religious values.

Well, ‘GO, ADEN!’

Pari Gul Becomes Balochistan’s First ASP Officer

By

Nov 26, 2020

Quetta just got its first-ever female PSP officer, Pari Gul. To say that Pakistan is proud of her would be an understatement!

About Pari Gul

Pari Gul hails from the Pishin area in Balochistan. She’s brilliant and hard-working (obviously). But did you know that she scored 4th position in the CSS exams in 2017? CSS exams are not everyone’s cup of tea, but they are also incredibly hard. Pari Gul aced them and continued to work with determination until she landed this position.

Her Hopes and Dreams

In Balochistan, she is the first female officer to join the PSP group. She believes it could not have been the case for other females because they are neither allowed nor have the exposure to do so. She mentioned in her interview that the Police uniform always attracted her, so she went for it!

Check Out Her Inspiring Interview Here:

The Backbone of Her Success

Pari Gul mentions that the first person she called after seeing her name was her husband. Her husband has been wonderfully supportive of her throughout. She even says if I am here, “that’s just because of my husband.”

Being the first female police officer in Balochistan is a landmark achievement. To know that we had a woman come forth because her husband supported her is heart-warming. In a country like Pakistan, where husbands are the cause of oppression for many, Pari Gul’s husband shows what it’s like to be a backbone.

Twitter Reacts

People on Twitter are expressing their pride in overseeing the first female officer in Balochistan. Read people’s tweets here:

First ever female PSP Officer of Balochistan Pari Gul Tareen has been appointed as ASP/SDPO Quetta Cantonment owing to her persistent efforts & dedication.
A heartiest congratulations to daughter of Balochistan on this achievement.#Pakistan #Balochistan pic.twitter.com/eCZRwNe1DT

— The Pathans (@PathansBeauty) November 25, 2020

A Domino Reaction of Success

Pari Gul’s example again shows what women can achieve if they are supported. She not only had the determination to get the police ranks, but she also worked hard to ace her exams.

She also mentioned how seeing her in the uniform; many girls become inspired. They tell her that they also want to join the Police, and now they will try their best to achieve this goal.

This chain of one woman inspiring another is another reason women must be supported. One woman’s hard work and determination can pave the path for tens of more. If our future generation of women have their aspirations and goals, which they hope to achieve, we can rest assured Pakistan will be in good hands.

Did you know, research has shown that women-led countries fared better during a pandemic?

Sheheryar Munawar Shuts Down A Troll Like A Boss!

Nov 26, 2020

sheheryar munawar — Image Source: Instagram

Trolls are everywhere on the internet, but public figures get trolled more so than the rest. Some of them accept it as ‘oh, it’s part of the deal’, while others shut off their comments not to allow anyone dumbing down their spirits. But some reply to their trolls, and those replies are so on point that you can’t help but admire their intelligence and their poise in coming up with a response promptly. Sheheryar Munawar recently joined that category.

Parey Hut Love actor was in the news for some days now due to his exceptionally outstanding photoshoot with the gorgeous Syra Yusuf. Whatever people thought of that shoot, I, for one, loved it.

He continued posting some other photoshoots of himself even after the venture with Syra. Considering some people think that just being on the internet gives them permission to troll, they came ready with their license.

This troll tried to make fun of Sheheryar by calling him “Ghareebon k Bradley Cooper” (Bradley Cooper of the poor). Usama from Zindagi Gulzar Hai had the perfect response for this guy. Munawar implied that the troll believes that he has insulted Sheheryar. He said that it was not. And in fact, he was grateful for being associated with a group that puts in hard work to earn for themselves and their families.

Another troll reminded him that he should offer prayers. First of all, how is that linked to his work? Did he, by chance, upload a photo during prayer time? What exactly was the justification? Anyway, we don’t need to do the asking. Sheheryar beat us to that. He replied that not only does he offer prayers five times a day, but whenever possible, he also prays tahajjud. He added that this was his personal matter with God. God can question him on that. In the meantime, the troll should stop doing that on Instagram.

Explaining the last sentence will take the fun out of the whole thing. So read it for yourself:

It is always fun when people take trolls in stride and show them their rightful place. While Sheheryar, you deal with the trolls your way, we just want to say that we absolutely loved your photoshoot with Syra. Keep making unique content and keep shutting down trolls!

Ukhano’s Dance Video At His wedding Has Turned Him Into A Meme!

Nov 26, 2020

Umar Khan, the famous Youtuber, recently got married, and his clips from the wedding are more than hilarious.

Enjoy Your Wedding

There is indeed no day like the day of your wedding. Enjoy it to the fullest, dance openly, laugh out loud, and eat the food! That’s what people have always told us. Today, many follow this advice even if it is to the dismay of several people – “haw larki mai toh koi Sharam nai thi!”

But Ukhano (Umar Khan) went all out. A bit too off?

It’s A Dancing Couple

Most of the pictures that he has put on his Instagram show him and his wife either on the dance floor or while dancing. For instance, this picture from the mehndi!

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Umar Khan (@ukhano)

Or this clip from the Walima:

A post shared by Umar Khan (@ukhano)

The couple lets a little loose and loves grooving to the music and we love that! However, Ukhano’s dance moves are not visible in both these posts.

Ukhano’s Moves Turn Into Memes

Ukhano in his full form is not a Hrithik Roshan but rather a fidget spinner, a drill or even Pappu Saiyein! When the guy loses it on the dance floor, and he did on his wedding, he resorts to maniacally going round and round.

Check out the video here: Beware! It’s not for the faint-hearted who can easily throw up.

— 2020 Dumbass Of The Year 🙂 (@DumbassSupreem) November 26, 2020

Where’s The Bride’s Face?

It’s likely most people have noticed that the youtube has refused to show his wife’s face. In all the clips he not only smartly cuts her face out himself but the photographer is also not allowed to show her face. So far, we only know she has short hair and loves to dance too!

Why could he be hiding her face? It could very well be because of the scandal that Ukhano went through over “bold pics”. He was alleged as a harasser and people might start bashing his wife for marrying him.

Or maybe it’s just because he’s “not ready yet”. This face-hiding is a lot like celebrities hiding the faces of their new child. Take Gigi Hadid for instance! The baby’s face does not grace the gram.

Do you agree with this? Let us know in the comments below.

TikTok Announces New Feature That Will Avoid Triggering Seizures!

Epileptic Seizures on TikTok — Image Source: forbes.com

There are certain conditions present in humans that may affect their everyday lives. It can either assist them in their lives or can be considered as a hindrance. Besides conditions, there are also disorders. You might have heard of dissociative identity disorder. It is most commonly referred to as a split personality disorder. It causes a person to disassociate themselves from their prime personality, thus causing them to revert to an alternate personality.

So, cycling back to conditions, there is one known as Epilepsy. It causes the person to have a seizure if they are exposed to flashing lights. It can also be triggered by bright lights and furiously changing ones too. There are often ways that one can take precautions. If people, with Epilepsy, are warned beforehand, it can greatly reduce the risk of a seizure itself. In light of this, TikTok has announced a new feature for its users!

Epilepsy Warnings

Epilepsy has been kept in perspective in many parts of media and pop culture. When it became a common condition among people, there were innovations done to avoid triggering the effects of Epilepsy. The prime part of this was warning people of flashing lights if they were present in a game or a video. Ubisoft is a company in which this has been long practiced. Every Assassin Creed and Far Cry game has a warning appearing beforehand about flashing lights and strobe lights.

Far Cry 3 was a game that had an immense amount of flashing lights in itself. The starting sequence had such lights in a disco setting and that is also why such a warning was important. Assassin’s Creed games had flashing and flickering lights on screen when the ‘Animus’ was being shown. Similar to games, TikTok has announced a new feature that allows epileptic users to skip videos.

TikTok introduces new feature to avoid epilepsy seizures — Image Source: sharehub.pro

The TikTok Feature:

The feature allows a user to skip every video which can appear on their feed with epileptic content. Once it is turned on, the feed of the user will be optimized in accordance. They will no longer receive videos on their feed that have epilepsy triggering elements in them. This feature became a dire necessity after recent events.

Recently, a challenge became famous on the platform, which encouraged the idea of epilepsy itself. The challenge asked people to mimic the effects of epilepsy on camera while lights flashed in the video everywhere. Not only was this taken as offensive, but it was also considered highly unethical. In light of that, too, the UK epilepsy society expressed their praise for announcing this feature.

A Healthy Progress

This is a step in the right direction of progress. It shows that awareness is setting on many media platforms too. Before, it was exercised in games and movies. Now it’s being extended to one of the most widely used platforms of this generation. This is significant because of a substantial amount of users on TikTok with photosensitive epilepsy. Statistics showed that out of 3.7 Million daily active users, 240 000 experienced photosensitive epilepsy.

We hope other platforms also continue to grasp the awareness of epilepsy and take precautions as necessary. It will be considered quite beneficial for the entire community in general.

Now that winters are here, can you imagine anything better than sitting with your family with a steaming hot cup of chai in your hand? Name a better duo, we’ll wait!

This Ad Is Winning Over Social Media!

Tapal Family Mixture’s latest ad is just as warm as a cup of their chai. The latest TVC shows a young man with a speech impediment, standing in front of the mirror every day. He tries every day to improve his speech and speak fluently, but as we all fall short sometimes, he does too.

But, in the face of every frustration, is his mom’s freshly brewed chai. There are moments with his brother as they both sit on the roof and tackle life together but not without a cup of chai. The family has the motto “protect nai, prepare kia” which perfectly captures the families values. They come together to support each other. Often times, the support is not a grand-gesture, it can be as simple as sitting down with a cup of chai. This family shows us how it’s done!

See It Here:

Why Is This Ad Special?

This ad is special for a huge reason. Tapal Family Mixture shows that nobody is perfect but also that nobody has to be. Our families support us through thick and thin despite our shortcomings. This ad shows that each of us has something that can hold us back at times. But, with a family’s support and love, nothing is impossible or unattainable!

“Meri Family Meri Strength” highlights how families often make us who we are. No matter the disagreements or the reservations, if there is any set of people who supports each other unconditionally, it’s families. Our families are our strengths and Tapal Family Mixture brings the idea home.

Pakistanis Have Chai In Their Blood

Other than that, the link Tapal Family Mixture’s ad creates with family and chai is something all of us can relate to. No dinner or lunch is complete without a cup of chai. No dessert is better enjoyed than with chai. Mornings don’t start without chai! Sometimes we take for granted how much importance some things hold and how much they remind us of home.

There’s something very special about chai in that sense. You just need a good, warm cup in your hand and it’s like all the worries get put on a hold. But, it’s important for the cup to be ‘good’. That is why there’s no better chai than Tapal Family Mixture to bond over. Next time you’re looking to have a good family time, you know Tapal Family Mixture will be your go-to!

What Is KIA Upto Next? Should We Expect Four New Vehicles?

Nov 25, 2020

KIA Lucky Motors, a venture between Pakistan and South Korean companies, has once again been in the news, this time for 4 of its #weareunstoppable vehicles spotted in the country. There were speculations for quite some time that KIA will be launching three cars, but it seems that KIA has one-upped the speculations.

#WeAreUnstoppable

The four new variants of #weareunstoppable have been tested across different terrains of Pakistan. This seems like the Korean brand is giving the consumers a message that they do not need to look towards importing cars anymore. The four variants with high-tech features suited perfectly to the terrain are being assembled right here in the locality.

#WeAreUnstoppable convoy indeed is one mighty convoy with Cerato being a 1599cc vehicle, Sorento 3498cc, 3300cc Stinger and Niro with 1580cc. In the SUVs and Sedan category, it seems KIA will be giving tough competition to other car brands operating in Pakistan.

KIA started its journey in Pakistan with Sportage. Launching Sportage in 2019, it won the hearts of Sedan Lovers who were blown away by the feature-packed car that looks ‘sporty’ and is very practical in this ‘age’ earning the name ‘Sportage’. The car is a five-seater that aims for extreme comfort, be it the rear leg space and headroom for both the front and rear passengers or the smart power tailgate.

These are obviously not all the features. One can have an idea of the extent of the vehicle’s features by knowing about the brand. KIA knows how to establish itself, considering they let their vehicles make the statement.

PAPS (Pakistan Auto Parts Show) 2019 unveiled many vehicles, a lot of them were by famous local car brands. However, KIA stole the show’s limelight through its Grand Carnival, Rio, Sportage, and Picanto. Even though Rio was not released in Pakistan, social media erupted with anticipation of its release.

Meanwhile, Picanto was launched during the time JDM imports had been halted. For a 1000cc category, consumers only had three choices. Many switched to Picanto as it gave them the option of a fully automatic transmission, along with JDM level build quality and comfort at that time. This must have been a proud moment for KIA.

Having entered the automotive market place for quite some time, one gets an idea of what works. So KIA motors, too, seems to have begun to develop an understanding of what types of vehicles are ideal for Pakistan. So, it would not be unimaginable if KIA were to delve into SUVs, MPVs, Sedans, and even EVs as well.

Here Is How You Can Earn $1 Million With Snapchat

Nov 24, 2020

Do you want to make $1 million? Well, who doesn’t? But did you ever imagine earning this by just making a video that goes viral? I can bet you didn’t. Snapchat is offering you the chance to do just that.

Snapchat: Spotlight

Snapchat has stared a video sharing platform called Spotlight. Spotlight is a direct competition to TikTok, the famous platform that has recently produced several celebrities. It has offered an opportunity to even an ordinary person to showcase their talent. It may have gone viral through it.

Now, many platforms rivaling TikTok did appear and disappear. And if they didn’t disappear, they did not gain the same momentum that TikTok has achieved. Probably just this thought has led Snapchat to start this marketing strategy. But what is this strategy?

Earn $1 Million

To ensure that people start diverting attention from one avenue to another, money is a great motivator. Knowing this piece of information, Snapchat announced that it would be awarding $1 million to people who make a video and it goes viral. The video has to be made on Spotlight, but anybody can participate, be it people stars or ordinary people with private and personal accounts.

The idea is simple, very similar to TikTok. You make a video, and it gets shared exponentially. Snapchat will know which video went viral because Spotlight comes with an algorithm. The algorithm is basically there to identify the most engaging posts on the platform—the more the engagement, the more your chances to win the prize money. And what’s mindblowing that it is not a one-time deal. Instead, Snapchat will be awarding prize money of $1 Million each day until 31st December 2020. Now, that is a great way to end such a frightening year!

They have mentioned that it is quite possible; this strategy continues even in the year 2021.

Things to abide by

The users have to be above age 16 and follow the rules, including copyright, drugs, and alcohol. All the submitted videos will be monitored to ensure there are no violations. And that brings me to the point about submission. The user will need to submit the video, or they will not be eligible for the award.

So make engaging and good content and also pray that people like it because your earning depends on the number of views you get. Happy earning!

4 Secret Beauty Hacks For A Healthy Winter Skin

By

-

Nov 24, 2020

A lot of people like winters. The snuggling, the cuddling, the blankets, it all sounds cozy, but there is one thing that might bring the winter spirit down, and that is the chapped, irritating winter skin. So today, my friends, we bring to you some very important beauty hacks that will give you a healthy touch to your winter skin. But all these hacks come way later in the list. The most important one among all of them is staying hydrated. During winters, you rarely feel thirsty, so you skip on water. DON’T DO THAT!

Okay, back to beauty hacks.

1. No Foundations!!!

Okay, no foundations may seem very harsh to you, but if you want to do makeup every day, go for BB or CC creams. Do not apply foundations for your daily makeup. It dries the skin and so is not suitable for you. In fact, it is not good for daily use, even in summers. BB creams, on the other hand, moisturize your skin so you can use them for your everyday getup.

Reserve your foundations for functions where you have to go out of the way to get ready.

2. Aloe vera daily

Your first thought might be to apply some cream to parched patches of your skin. Do not go there because no matter how organic your cosmetics are, they are bound to have chemicals. And these chemicals may affect your dry skin, making it worse. So, a better way to tackle this problem is to apply aloe vera on those dry patches and your whole skin daily.

3. Lip Balms

It is as if your lips are desperately waiting to be chapped. Come even a hint of winter, and voila, they get cracked. So always keep your lip balm handy. Keep applying lip balm when you are home. And if you have to apply makeup when you are going out, use a lip balm coating, wait a minute for it to dry, and then apply the lipstick.

4. Eat Oranges

Whether you are a fruit person or not, eat oranges. They are full of vitamin C. And vitamin C keeps the skin glowing. If you are not into oranges, you can go for guava, kiwi fruit, and red peppers.

Follow these few hacks, and I assure you, you will get to enjoy your winters to the fullest with perfect winter skin.
