KIA To Revamp Brand With New Logo Starting 2021

South Korean Automotive Manufacturing titan KIA is ready to head into 2021 with new ambitions and goals, and a new logo.

KIA is not the only manufacturer to revamp its business identity. Auto giants including Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, and even Nissan have taken a similar path.

The company displayed the new logo they want to aim for with the announcement of the 2019 KIA Concept Car.

The 3-letters are sleeker, have a futuristic touch, and now connecting with each other. Most importantly, the logo no longer has the circular symbol which the brand had been wearing since the beginning of time.

The brand officially confirmed the arrival of the new logo back in February as patent filings leaked. Now, it has confirmed that the new brand logo will come out of production starting next year.

The entire revamping and shifting process has been given the name, ‘Plan S’. Kia’s global CEO, Ho Sung Song, wants Plan S to be carried out in early 2021.

According to a report from Automotive News, Song wants the brand to be “more dynamic, stylish, and inventive,” moreover, the brand will focus more on electric vehicles.

KIA plans on rolling out at least 11 EVs by 2025 with a whopping investment of $25B to back the plan up.

KIA Wants To Bring 800V Fast Charging To Affordable EVs!

“We have to prepare ourselves with advanced countermeasures for all these,” Song shared in an interview. “We will try to set up our new customer target together with our brand relaunch.”

KIA’s newest EV will be priced moderately as per the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which it will share with Hyundai. Making EVs affordable for the masses, the aim of KIA is to dominate at least 20% of global sales by 2025.

The KIA Concept is a cross-over idea between a coupe and a futuristic electric vehicle. KIA initially unveiled the concept vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show and blew fanatics off their feet.

We are creating it as we speak. This is the start of a process, but you will see soon the result,” Kia design boss Luc Donkerwolke told Auto Express. It truly looks like a futuristic coupe that has a lot of technologically advanced features to offer its passengers.

“I don’t see anything that’s really not feasible,” Donkerwolke told Auto Express about the Imagine’s appearance. “There are some cost-related issues that have to be validated; it hasn’t been done by designers who don’t understand how to build a car for production.”

In November 2018 Donckerwolke replaced Peter Schreyer as leader of design operations for the entire Hyundai Motor Group. The promotion put him in charge of the styling of Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles.

We can’t wait to see what KIA has in mind in the upcoming months. As far as the new logo is concerned, it looks absolutely stunning!

5 Things You Should NEVER Say To Your Partner!

Image Source: Vaughan Relationship Centre

Wise people often tell us that fights are just as important as loving moments in a relationship. However, there are a few things you should never say to your partner. Keep reading to find out what!

1. Don’t Express Regrets In The Heat Of the Moment

“I should never have married you” is a ubiquitous line we see being thrown around. But should it be said if you don’t mean it? Never! Relationship experts have said that people want to be continuously reminded of why they entered the relationship. Saying that you should never have to your partner breaks the sanctity of that covenant.

2. Don’t Speak In “You’s.”

Many relationship experts have spoken at length about the importance of pronoun you use. Expressing yourself, be it even in open communication, while pointing at the other person always can result in a toxic conversation. It can make them feel targeted. If your purpose is to communicate, speak in ‘I’s’ and say ‘I feel, I want, I need’ instead of the other way around!

3. Leave Name-calling Behind

Calling your partner derogatory names like “slob” or “idiot” in serious contexts can be damaging in the long-term. They make your partner feel ridiculed, and they might start associating themself with the said name. Instead, express your concerns gently. 

For instance, “could you please help me with this tonight? I have been doing it myself lately, and it’s tiring”.

4. Non-Verbal Communication No’s

Often we’re saying the right thing, but our non-verbal language is out of line. For instance, asking them to explain something to you while you roll your eyes or smirking at their inability to do something is harmful. If you’re polite with your verbal language, don’t undermine it by non-verbal cues that can be shaming.

5. No Sweeping Insults

“You always do this!” or “You never listen to me” are examples of sweeping generalities that we all are guilty of flinging at the other person. But are they harmless heat-of-the-moment words? No, their effect can be greater than that. By taking a person’s one-off mistake and applying it to the global time-frame, you can risk them feeling everything they were doing was in vain.

This might result in them going back on said things and not doing them again. Don’t make your partner feel unappreciated, no matter how big the fight!

These are just small cues that can help us improve our communication skills. If you feel that despite these things, one of you is unhappy, try to seek a relationship therapist!

All those who have a lust for traveling can relate to many cliched quotes and instances. They may not always be entertaining, but it’s part and parcel of your passion for traveling!

1. The Warnings

Before every trip, you will have a family member or friend telling you that so and so the country is hazardous. They will then proceed to ask you what you have packed to take along. It’s as if they are concerned you’re going to the Bermuda Triangle and want to know whether you’re taking a satellite along!

2. Too Many Souvenirs, Too Little Place

Travelers can relate to the need to get a souvenir, big or small, from each place they visit. There are those too who get a souvenir on their body if you’re catching our drift, but we’ll let that slide for now! For travelers, space to keep mementos of the countries traveled can run out. Is there anything such as ‘Souvenir Shelf’?

3. The Pity Party

For many people in societies worldwide, traveling for a passion or even a living is something non-serious. You will come across many who will say, “Oh, we wish we could travel like you but…” and then dish out a long list of responsibilities. So bear in mind, when you start traveling, you have to collect all your obligations and dump them.

4. Your House Has You and Your Passport

Most travelers can relate to the fact that they initially sold their cars, TV, furniture, and organs to save for their dream trips. It isn’t easy hustling between countries, but there is also nothing that brings you greater joy. Besides, who needs those conventional things anymore, right?

5. Your Wallet Is A Global Citizen

As a traveler, your wallet will have several different currencies at every point in time. Be prepared for getting odd looks from cashiers when you pull out different money to pay for groceries. It’s either like a rainbow in there or like your personal photo album of all the great people featured on the notes.

6. The Destination Is More Important Than The Journey

As a traveler, the journey becomes monotonous like a run of the old mill. It’s the destination that starts taking precedence. There’s no feeling more incredible than seeing a place you had pinned to your wall for ages come alive in front of your eyes. Behold, your destination!

FBR Investigates RFAK’s Income Records Of His International Concerts

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan achieved success through his singing skills. He would sing for Pakistani dramas, Bollywood movies, and Coke Studio as well. His rendition of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Afreen Afreen has never faded away, and people still love it. So it’s safe to say that he would have been making money left, right, and center. Assuming the same, or, since it’s a government organization, having the information about it, FBR investigates RFAK’s income.

The Details of The Notification

So FBR, the Federal Board of Revenue, is looking into RFAK’s concert history to be a part of abroad. The tax collection agency has issued a notification to FIA, Federal Investigation Agency, asking to track RFAK’s money trail. The letter read that FBR had requested the travel history of RFAK from FIA in a notification dated 20th November 2019. However, FIA has been AWOL on the said matter. Hence, FBR issued a reminder notification on 22nd October 2020 to request his travel history from 2014 to date.

FBR has requested this concerning u/s 176 of the income tax ordinance, 2001.

A publication got in touch with the mentioned individual. His representative responded to the matter, saying that FBR has not been in contact with them about it at all. But they have begun looking at the subject and will soon get to the depth of it.

A little history – A little context

Interestingly though, RFAK has been the highlight of many more similar issues. In 2011, he was called to Lahore’s regional office of FBR when he returned from his foreign trip. There he was notified that he had not paid his taxes in the past five years. And that he had been ignoring all notification sent by the board. There, he claimed that he was unaware of the tax laws.

But four years later, RFAK’s outstanding tax was found to be PKR 3 million. In 2017, FBR’s account was seized as a result of that.

When a huge star such as Rahat Fateh Ali Khan claims that he doesn’t know much about the tax laws, pf forgets to pay his taxes; it tells much about the public on the ground. Because see, if a public figure is uninformed on this matter, how would the ordinary people know of it? But paying taxes is very important. You may think that paying taxes is reducing your income. However, you need to understand that the country uses the taxes you pay to do the service they provide you better.

Samsung’s S21 Rumoured To Not Include A Charger In Its Box

Samsung's S21 no charger
Image Source: rprna.com

Recently, Apple released a new product at its online-only event. It came as quite amazing news when the iPhone 12 was revealed. Alongside the phone itself, there were certainly more reveals. One of the biggest was the presence of a total of four variants of the iPhone 12 itself. Apple even mentioned a significant drop in prices as compared to its predecessor.

However, one lacking in their entire setup was the absence of a charger and AirPods in the box itself. Now, due to this, Apple became the subject of a wide range of memes and trolling, including its competitor brands. So, is there a rumour circulating that Samsung’s S21 is set to be released without a charger? Can this be the truth?

Following the inevitable

Samsung was one of the front line representatives when it came to mocking the charger-less iPhone 12. There were numerous tweets from various users too. The social media division of the company even released an image saying that they do include a charger.

So, is it possible that they are now following the same set of rules that Apple has laid down? There is a known history of this happening. Apple comes out with some over-the-top idea that brings about whispers and hush. Suddenly, next year, everyone is doing it.

There was even a tweet that foreshadowed this particular news. It had replied to Samsung’s jab at Apple. The reply stated that Samsung will jab Apple, then pull the exact same stunt next year.

What exactly is the rumour?

The rumour began on October 27th, 2020. It speculated that Samsung’s S21 also intends to release a phone without a charger. It was further rumoured that there would be no earphones in the box either. Previously, Samsung did charge extra for the fast charger but they included the basic one in the box.

Maybe they are pulling the same stunt for environmental reasons. Was Apple’s decision correct? Despite all the memes and trolling, it seems flagship competitors are following the same example as Apple. Samsung’s S21 is still a rumour, though, some are stating it could be called S30. Nevertheless, it is kind of ironic of them doing the same thing that they were mocking. Kind of puts a glint of light on ‘If you can’t beat them, join them’ , doesn’t it?

Future Prospects:

So what does this mean for the future of Smartphones? It would seem that it is actually helping the environment to not include chargers and earphones. Apple stated that it is to reduce electronic waste. Samsung, however, has made no statement or comment on the rumour.

Maybe now it can begin to become a norm to save the environment in this manner. It is recommended that you save your older chargers or get them repaired. You never know which company decides to follow the same strategy. Then, all you’ll be left with would be a phone without charge, a brick.

Let us see how future events unravel with reference to this news!

What Does It Take To Become Famous on Tiktok?

Here we ask the million-dollar question— what does it really take to become famous on Tiktok? We have Jannat Mirza, who just reached a staggering number of followers, Ali Khan, who also had many followers, and now Areeka Haq. These are just some of the most prominent names; there are way too many fish in the sea.

What these three have in common is an ever-present mood to put themselves out there. Plus, a lack of total inhibitions when it comes to social media. Constantly recording yourselves, all decked up, and then editing that content is not easy. These people did it, and now they’re reaping the benefits!

What Comes After?

After many become comparatively successful, they start getting requests for sponsorships. Companies who want to gain clout amongst the youth or focus on a group of people present on Tiktok approach these famous people. The sponsorships can be substantial.

When it comes to gaming, there are many categories. There is the standard console gaming, your PlayStation and your Xbox. Then there is Mobile gaming. Next comes PC gaming (The master race) and finally, we have Handheld gaming. Handheld is considered different from mobile because Handheld focuses solely on gaming.

So, who is the Titan of the handheld gaming industry? That’s right, you know the name! It’s Nintendo! Standing for decades now, Nintendo remains top tier go-to for handheld gaming. It releases new products occasionally, with elaborate games as well as stylish design. Talking about the Nintendo switch in specific, here is everything you need to know about Nintendo Switch Controllers.

Nintendo Switch: Old Glory

Nintendo has a too creative marketing strategy. This strategy makes its products extremely valuable. The Nintendo Switch is a device that features state-of-the-art technology as well as the next generation of gaming. It is the future of handheld, and its controller is something to be marveled at.

The design of the controller is extremely unique. One of the most outstanding features is that the controller, Joy Con, is divided into two portions; the left one and right one.

The Left Side

On this side, usually denoted by the blue color, it has the ZL and L buttons. It also includes the left strick of a traditional controller. All of this is topped off with the standard set of directional buttons. It is also accompanied by a capture button for in-game screenshots. Use that to save all your fails and funny moments!

The directional is more suitable in head to head fighting games such as Injustice or Tekken. The joystick is more preferable for smooth movement in open-world games.

The Right End

This is the second end of the Joy-con Nintendo Switch. It is denoted usually by a red color. If one notices, the combination of the two is actually the coding Nintendo as always used in its products.

Finally, the right Joy-con has a home button for easy navigation mid-game.

Looking For The Best Laptop In Pakistan That Will Suit Your Needs?

The demand for Laptops in Pakistan has been increased over the last few months and is regularly growing. Students belonging from various educational levels, starting from Grade 1 to up to the University level, and people from different working groups are in dire need of a technology that can handle their everyday tasks and their professional work efficiently. Moreover, this fact cannot be denied that the demand for laptops has been increased rapidly in the quarantine period where work from home and online lectures was a trend and a necessity.

When the quarantine phase started to set up its roots in this nation, the first thing people started to figure out was the way to get their professional work back on track. Most of the firms began to develop a strategy called ‘Work from home,’ Where they preferred to let their employees work from home and perform a variety of tasks online.

Apart from mentioning the quarantine period, a laptop can prove itself a useful invention in several ways. Like other electronic devices, laptop plays a vital role by helping its user ease their daily tasks, providing aid in doing projects, presentations, etc.

A laptop can be small and compact enough to carry around but are versatile enough to run your demanding applications. Whether you are at the home, in your educational institution, or your office, a laptop can be your tech buddy anywhere you want.

For precisely defining the audience of a laptop, it can vary in many ways. This classification is based upon the type of people who are looking for a laptop. People out there are classified into three main categories.

The first category consists of the people who need a tech companion for their everyday tasks, projects, assignments, etc. It is not much of a big deal, and almost any laptop can handle it.

The second category comprises of the people who specifically want their laptop more than just a companion. They want their machine to perform various tasks, which can include heavy ones as well. Varying from simple projects to complex coding and video editing, they need the best one in the market.

The third category can be defined specifically for gamers. Yes, gamers! They can be allotted to a distinctive variety as their focal point of buying a laptop is to run big AAA titles in it. So to satisfy these type of audience, the laptop brands mainly focuses on designing the laptop which can bear heavy graphics load, has a broader body with adequate ventilation to minimize heat issues and can give them an edge in one battlefield.

Other than the categories mentioned above, different people mainly prefer a single type of aspect. Some people need better specs on their laptops while others look for better display. Some require a light, sophisticated, and decent laptop while others look for heavy chassis and adequate ventilation.

When you finally decide what you want for your laptop, the next step of this process which can come into your mind is hunting for the perfect one. By hunting, I mean buying the best one which will suit your needs.

Buy a Laptop in Pakistan

As I mentioned ‘hunting’ as for buying the laptops, I mean no less. The process of buying the best laptop in the best category is no less than hunting for a deer in the wild. Things spice up more when it comes to preferring a specific vendor who can give you the best price for your machine without compromising its genuineness.

Finding a suitable vendor with the best price tag can be classified into passive hunting. However, the primary hunt for a perfect laptop for yourself starts from choosing the right brand for it.

For your ease, we have compiled a list of three significant-tech manufacturers and highlighted their specific qualities, their pros, and cons in detail, so you may get a better idea about what exactly you are looking for.

Dell Laptops in Pakistan

Dell is a tech company based in the United States and was founded by Michael Dell in 1984. The main reason to cover this part of history is to make you realize how old this company is in this field and how deep it has its roots under this tech field. Dell can be classified as one of those tech giants which excels in every electronic device related to computers. This streak continuous when it comes to their grip in building laptops. The laptops that are manufactured by Dell are known for their solid build and power-packed chipsets.

Apart from having these qualities, Dell laptops are highly customizable as well. Dell’s users can easily upgrade their laptops throughout time. Whether it’s RAM, Hard Drive, or any SSD addition, dell can provide you with the easiest yet the best customizing solutions. Dell usually targets every type of laptop market they can cover in this world. That’s why they offer both Intel and AMD chipsets in their machines.

Talking about the lower range of laptops offered by dell, they come with dual-core processors with the RAM compatible enough to handle its processing power. However, the higher-end laptops come with the quad-core and octa-core technology processors installed in the higher-specs laptops and gaming machines.

Apart from mentioning the processors, dell uses both NVIDIA and AMD graphic chips in their machines. They both perform significantly in their respective fields and have a good track record.

Apart from the hardware used inside the dell’s machinery, it comes with a unique, reliable, and robust build, making Dell stand out from its competitors. The laptops under the dell umbrella are durable, well-manufactured, and highly functional rather than delicate and a slim laptop to ensure maximum user satisfaction. More construction and physics can be seen when it comes to the higher range of dell laptops. For example, the Alienware laptops and XPS range machinery are a pure solid-build that gets them aesthetically pleasing.

HP Laptops in Pakistan

HP stands itself as a one-to-one rival to Dell. Started by William Hewlett and David Packard, this brand emerged from a mere car garage and is now generating billions and is one of the most popular laptop manufacturers worldwide. HP laptops are pretty much known for their delicacy. They produce laptops with sleek, stylish, and delicate builds rather than a reliable and robust body, making them only eligible for one-hand use.

When it comes to having the most features, HP still gets the upper hand. It provides a larger number of features as compared to its other rivals.

When it comes to performance, HP never dissatisfies its users and provides a more potent version as compared to its rivals. HP has been centered mainly on design work like Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. which enables HP to be an excellent multitasker.

Styling comes with a unique touch in design, and HP conquers the grounds in this category. HP never compromises its styling and provides its user with a sleek and premium experience while using them, unlike dell, which gives a solid build touch.

When designing the best laptops, HP steals the show with its innovative yet simple designs. Its Spectre x360 series was in the spotlight for so long against the famous surface laptops from Microsoft. The AMOLED displays of the HP spectre series are incredibly vibrant and bright, pleasing to the eyes and providing the best display solutions amongst all its rivals. HP now has worked on slimming the bezels even more and came up with more attractive displays in its new HP Spectre series.

One of the top-notch facilities, which gives HP a significant edge over the other laptops, is its reliable customer support. Mainly all laptops come with three years of warranty along with the most approachable customer support. Aside from the phone and email support, you can reach them via their social media accounts as well. There are also many tutorials available on YouTube, which can help you further.

Lenovo Laptops in Pakistan

To stand out from its rivals, Lenovo comes with a comparatively versatile approach and manufactures reliable and stylish laptops. Lenovo is better famous for its affordable range of laptops.

Lenovo is an intel-centered brand that mainly focuses on manufacturing laptops with Intel processors and Intel integrated HD graphics. They mainly focus on keeping their machine around an affordable budget. Hence, you may not expect much from it.

The primary factor which distinguishes Lenovo from Dell and HP is its battery. Lenovo usually uses a 6-cell battery, making the laptop last longer and provides a relatively good battery life than its rivals. Having a long-lasting battery is a necessity these days, and it seems like Lenovo has a good hold over it.

One of the main selling points of Lenovo laptops is their prices. If you are focusing on getting a budget-friendly laptop, you will have a hard time beating Lenovo on this. Although other noticeable brands can even provide more cheap machines in keeping the quality as well, Lenovo can be your number one choice.

Talking about lower price does not mean that Lenovo is ready to sacrifice in terms of quality. Lenovo was voted as the best laptop brand of 2019, which means you do get a pretty solid deal when choosing Lenovo over other brands. A stunning example is Thinkpad’s range, which is generally much impressive in specs, quality, and performance.

If you are looking for a good laptop in terms of build, performance, and budget, then Lenovo will be the series you are looking forward to.

Conclusion

All these three rival brands are no less than the best, and the competition among them is very tough. It’s quite hard to choose the best brand for oneself as almost all of them offer the same set of specs in a particular price range. There is not much of a difference in price and quality, and it all ends up being equal to each other.

The main difference lies in the type of specifications that you are looking for on a laptop. It depends on whether you are looking for a professional task handler or a heavy hitter gaming laptop. You will eventually find the best of them in all these three brands.

To provide the best vendor solutions, it is advisable to make your purchase from a well-renowned store like Paklap.pk as it offers the best quality laptops in the best price range and hence, confirms its place as the leading online laptop store in Pakistan. Shopping Online at Paklap may be your one-stop solution to all your tech needs

Lahori Pays PKR 4.5M Just To Register His Lamborghini Huracan Spyder!

Lamborghini Huracan Spyder
PC: Express

The province of Punjab has just received its most expensive registered vehicle yet – a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder!

The Punjab excise and taxation department on Monday registered the most expensive car in the province’s history, priced at Rs115 million.

The car is reportedly a sports variant of the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder. Moreover, the registration fee for this beauty cost the owner a whopping Rs4.532 million, which had been denied earlier.

The reason is that the department’s system could only register cars priced below Rs100 million. However, the plan was then upgraded for such expensive vehicles so that they could be officially registered.

The Huracan Spyder belongs to a certain Syed Arjumand Bukhari s/o Ramzan Ali Shah belonging from Phase 8, DHA Cantt, Lahore. Before the Spyder, the most expensive registration was crowned to the Mercedes GT Series (PKR 3.5M).

In 2018, Kunwar Moeez Khan’s 18k gold foil Lamborghini Aventador S arrived in Islamabad and made headlines.

The property tycoon shared that “More than a hundred million rupees had been paid to the government as duty/taxes on this car. It has been imported… from the UK.”

Lamborghini Huracan Spyder 

According to PakWheels:

“The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder comes with a 5.2L engine, and it is famous for its unique bold and sporty exterior. The car has specially designed wings at the front so that that car can reach its maximum speed easily.

“This is the reason this car has an aerodynamic smaller front and a bit wider back. Furthermore, it has parking sensors and air intake vents at the front,

“The car comes in three driving modes, i.e., Strada for a standard drive, Sport, and Corsa (for track race).

PC: PakWheels

“One of the exciting features of this car is height control. You can increase it by pushing a button on the console. This feature can drive this vehicle on Pakistani roads without hitting its underbody with speed breakers and potholes. However, after the speed of 60km/hour, the car will come back to the original height to increase the car’s stability and traction.

“Furthermore, the company claims that this beaut can go from 0 to 100mph in just 3.2 seconds!”

HEC Refutes ‘Fake News’ Regarding Closure Of Universities

HEC

HEC rejects the Fake news circulating on social media that it has announced the closure of universities in the light of reemerging COVID cases.

In the beginning, when COVID started spreading worldwide, countries started going into lockdown mode. And in lockdowns, businesses and educationals institutes alike closed or shifted online. For months, the situation remained like this. While people learned to accept that this was the new normal, they also experienced many obstacles of the lockdown. And hence, before the lockdown lifted, they were looking forward to the country reopening.

New Normal

And the new normal was finally here. The country started reopening, albeit a little differently. There were SOPs to follow and guidelines to maintain. But at least the situation looked a little brighter. COVID was still here, but most people were responsible. And so we saw educational institutes shifting back to their original model of education, the brick, and mortar model. But the new normal was not going to last.

First of all, most people were sure to be responsible, but others were not. Even after so many deaths, they refused to believe that COVID was a reality.

Secondly, as researchers have found out, there would be another, more dangerous wave of COVID once again.

Finally, although the hot temperature does not kill off the virus, in colder climates, the virus thrives. And so the upcoming winter was going to pose a threat.

COVID 19

HEC Fake News

As expected, the COVID cases started resurging. And lesser expected, they could infect the recovered COVID patients as well, this time fiercer. So within 24 hours, when Pakistan saw 707 cases being reported, they assumed that the country would go into lockdown mode once again.

In trying to be one step forward, the public started circulating fake news on social media about HEC. They said that HEC had announced the closure of universities and so everyone should stay home. Now the fake news may have started because some of those people wanted authorities to take action in light of COVID once again, or it began as a prank. But the fake news got intense, and HEC had to diffuse the rumor themselves.

HEC Responds

HEC stated that:

“There is no direction from HEC for the closure of universities. Each institute will decide to operate or close as per its specific situation.”

So while it may come as sad news for those looking forward to some time off, tough luck, follow SOPs for COVID or not, one has to study.

Rosie Gabrielle’s Pup Sports Pakistan’s Flag & Social Media Is Furious!

PC: Rosie Gabrielle

A recent picture of Rosie Gabrielle has hurt many people’s sentiments. The picture shows her puppy, Winston Sirchill, sporting the national flag around his neck.

This gesture has upset many individuals who had called the influencer out.

Gabrielle, in the post, had shared that she is back in Pakistan, and this time, her decision to come back is permanent.

In the picture, we see her pup wearing a bandana like cloth that reads ‘I love Pakistan.’

https://www.facebook.com/RosieGabrielle/photos/a.351375065201192/1290951707910185/

The influencer was so inspired by the countrymen that she herself had converted to Islam not too long ago.

She decided to move to the country that helped her during one of her most difficult times.

Rosie Gabrielle, Canadian Tourist who Toured Pakistan Converts to Islam

She writes in her post:

I’m Baaack!!!!!! SURPRISE!

it seems I loved Pakistan so much, I had to return But this time, instead of traveling across the country, I’ve decided to base myself here Indefinitely!

And this time I didn’t come alone, I brought my sweet little angel boy @winston.sirchill 
Who is equally excited to be here and have some new adventures with mum!

Social Media Reacts To Rosie Gabrielle’s Picture

Here’s how social media reacted to Rosie’s picture:

Social

She clarified in a statement that just like humans, her pup is also a creature made by God and that he is worthy enough to bear any flag. She says that he is wearing the national flag on his heart and that he is doing nothing to disrespect the flag.

Her statement reads:

To anyone who has an issue with my sweet angel wearing the Pakistani flag….

my dog is a beautiful angel and creation of God, and has all worthiness to wear this flag and ANY flag.

It’s next to his heart- which is the same beating heart that is in your chest and mine, which is the same organ of love that God created each and every BEING to have.

So WHAT is your problem exactly?

If you do not treat all creatures and beings as equal to your self, if you think that anyone or any animal is less than you. Then YOU are not practicing true HUMANITY we are taught. You are not being a humble servant.

This is an HONOR for my dog to wear this flag. I love my Winston more than anything, he is like a son to me. And if anyone offends him or myself by continuing to say such things, I will just ban you.

And the fowl language and choice of word you use to bash me, only show your true heart and colors. You are only embarrassing YOURSELF and making a fool in front of the word and giving a bad name to Pakistanis.

So on behalf of the entire Nation, spare yourself for the sake of their imagine.

This is not the first time an influencer has hurt the sentiments of Pakistanis. Social media has called out the nation-wide famous Eva Zubeck.

Dressed in a green kurta shalwar, wearing Pakistan’s national flag, the foreigner performed the ‘KiKi challenge’ inside and outside a PIA plane in an attempt to promote Pakistan’s tourism.

However, she used the national flag as a prop and wrapped it around her body while dancing, which made social media furious.

Bollywood’s Rakhi Sawant also hurt the countrymen’s sentiments when she conducted a bold photoshoot with Pakistan’s national flag.

Moreover, Pakistanis even called out Chinese nationals for insulting the national flag after a video showing the Chinese standing on a car with the flag on the car’s body went viral.

Angry and furious, social media called on the government to send these ungrateful CPEC engineers back to their country.

jazba cup

Right after Riot launched game servers in Bahrain to service players in the Middle East and Pakistan, there was a huge surge in engagement and excitement in the region.

This encouraged NODWIN Gaming South Asia to develop an extensive plan to kickstart Valorant esports for the Pakistan gaming community.

Valorant has hit the ball right out of the park with ease. There is an x-factor about this game that no other FPS has managed to crack. The servers in regions like Bahrain and Mumbai were set-up in no time, so that gives a massive boost to a huge gamer base in many countries.

Pakistan is a vital point in our South Asia plans and Jazba is the first step towards that.”, said Merlin Wiedeking, CEO, NODWIN International.

A Masterpiece For The Photography Geeks: Infinix Zero 8

Infinix zero 8

Cameras in smartphones have come a long way over the last few years. With features that have greatly improved the quality of images produced by smartphones, they are pushing the boundaries of phone photography. The best camera phones are often capable of delivering better results than the ‘proper’ camera in your bag, and work as the perfect package of convenience.

This brings us to the smartphone in question – Infinix’s latest offering, the Zero 8 which has only recently been launched in Pakistan. The Infinix Zero 8 packs a host of impressive specs, and produces images with great color and dynamic range. The 64+48MP Ultra Night Camera with IMX686 Sensor is the main highlight of Zero 8 for us.

The master composition and quality levels enabled by the FHD full-frame front + rear camera by simply tapping the screen create an awe-inspiring sense of presence. However, it’s the rear camera setup that is the main talking point of this device. There’s a lot crammed into Infinix’s camera, but there’s one really important point. You point; you shoot, and get consistently good results.

Look at the Magic of the Nightscape legend – night photography taken to the next level!

The detailing of each image is outstanding. Each shot is sharp, bringing out just the right colors.

Zero 8’s camera added a lot of character and soul to these everyday objects. Who knew that candles, fairy lights, and spices could look so magnificent, regal, and opulent? We didn’t, but we are stunned and amazed beyond compare for sure.

The 64MP HD Ultra Night Camera captures ultra night pictures. It helps to level shadows and highlights in exposures; it is impressive because it isn’t too aggressive, so you get good results with little effort. The RAW algorithm helps to restore the night scene to the maximum and delivers amazing images at any angle, even with the backlight or at night. Quality-wise the Zero 8 is up there with the best of best.

All in all, the state of the art camera setup on the Infinix Zero 8 is exquisite, loaded with some great additional extras offering both stills and video capture at high definitions. Infinix Zero 8 brings killer new features to the fold, but as a device that’s long been top of its game, it continues to show considerable strengths.

4 Fail-proof Ways To Build Lean Muscles & Lose Weight

Getting lean is difficult but there are many who start this journey. Be it for reasons for improved physical performance to better health to better looks, it’s all-important. It’s not always easy to get rid of that stubborn belly fat — or any fat, for that matter, as you can’t “spot reduce” just your belly fat.

Should You Be Using This Guide?

This guide is aimed at those who have been exercising regularly for at least a few months and who already eat fairly healthy. If you’re looking to break through a plateau and speed up the fat-burning, lean-making progress, this is your calling.

1. Lean Your Diet

The key is to cut out the junk food and other treats (except for maybe 1-2 cheat meals a week). Also, cut back on grains for a little while and focus more on lean protein, veggies, fruits and good fats. With a diet like this, you’ll get lean faster.

2. Interval Workouts 

There are tons of great interval workouts that can speed up the process of losing fat. One of the most famous one’s – Tabata Intervals — are basically 20 seconds of intense exercise, then 10 seconds of rest … and repeat those intervals 8 times. That’s a total of four minutes — a great workout in a short amount of time.

However, it’s important to not overdo it at first. Also realize that if you do intense intervals, you will probably have to cut back on the duration of the exercise.

3. Heavy Weights

If you normally do strength training, but only do bodyweight exercises or do high reps with lighter or medium weights, try increasing the intensity. Do this gradually, over time, as you don’t want to overdo it at first.

Shoot for 3 sets of 5 reps with a heavier weight, for each exercise you do. This will help you to build more muscle and increase your metabolism.

4. Metcon Workouts

These are usually workouts that combine strength training with cardio at high intensities. Generally, they’re 20 minutes long (give or take 10 minutes), and they use a combination of exercises with no rest in between. Crossfit is the ultimate expression of this philosophy — typical workouts include doing four rounds of 400-meter sprints and 50 squats (as fast as you can) … or 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats (as fast as you can).

With this guide, you’ll be on your way to your goals with much more clarity!
