The airline has signed up to use MRO and Flight Operations Software envision of Rusada for its fleets.

Furthermore, Rusada will implement the system in time for the maiden flight of K2 Airways.

CEO at Rusada Julian Stourton said, “We are seeing more and more the desire to move away from multiple disconnected systems and adopt a one-stop-solution. This is especially true with up-and-coming organizations such as K2 Airways. I am excited that we now get to play a significant part in their upcoming launch and future growth.”

The selected modules by Rusada accumulated in the fleets are as follows:

  • Line Maintenance
  • Flight Operations

Khalil-ur-Rehman’s very popular yet controversial drama serial, Mere Pass Tum Ho witnessed an unprecedented audience resulting in box office earnings of approximately 3 crores in just one evening. The 2-hour long episode was released in cinemas on the 25th of January.

He stated that this was ‘unprecedented’. The largest box office hit was Humayun Saeed’s Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 during the Eid holidays when the shows started at 11 am”. “No film has ever done what MPTH has done in a single evening, earning almost 3 crores in just one evening.”

The last episode was released in cinemas in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad and had nearly all screens showing the episode with a 100% capacity.

The drama serial is based on themes of love, greed, and hatred and whilst very popular the drama and the writer both have received immense amount of criticism.

2020 Asia Cup: “India Won’t Play in Pakistan”-BCCI

2020 asia cup pakistan

Pakistan Cricket Board will host the T20 2020 Asia Cup in Pakistan. The tournament is expected to commence from September of this year.

However, despite the fact that international cricket is returning to the country with teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh playing successful tours, India still refuses to play in Pakistan.

Board of Control for Cricket in India has said in a statement that India will not be a part of the 2020 Asia Cup if the tournament is hosted by Pakistan.

“The question isn’t about the PCB hosting the tournament. It is about the venue and as things stand now, it is quite clear that we would need a neutral venue. There is no way that an Indian team can visit Pakistan to even participate in a multi-nation event like the Asia Cup,” a BCCI official told news agency IANS.

“If the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is ok with an Asia Cup minus India then it is a different ball game. But if India is to participate in the Asia Cup, then the venue cannot be Pakistan,” the official said.

We have now to see what will be the final decision of the Asian Cricket Council.

Junaid Imam, CEO of Ignite, while addressing the graduating startups, commented, “The startup ecosystem is thriving, and we are all set to make it a strong pillar of Digital Pakistan.”

The national incubation center has startups from diverse genres including Health-tech, Ed-Tech, Fin-Tech, assistive technologies, and artificial intelligence among others.

Aamer Ejaz, Chief Digital & Strategy Officer of Jazz said, “We are committed to playing our part in supporting the startup ecosystem and empowering the youth to build a progressive and digital Pakistan through the NIC and Jazz xlr8.

The ceremony also marked the completion of three years of the National Incubation Centre, Islamabad. This achievement poses a promising future for entrepreneurial initiatives to flourish in the country, and the NIC will continue to strive forward in playing an integral role in the ecosystem.

Parvez Abbasi, Project Director at NIC, on this occasion remarked on the exponential growth witnessed by the ecosystem and appreciated how young talent is playing its role in shaping the future of Pakistan

“Pakistan has immense talent, and through initiatives like the NIC, we can empower the youth to come up with innovative solutions to daunting challenges faced by Pakistan.”

IPhone SE2 – Everything We Know So Far

iPhone SE2

iPhone is one of those products that creates a hype of its own and people around the globe eagerly wait for the newest edition every year.

It might be nine months until consumers can get their hands on any of Apple’s newest iPhone 12 handsets.

However, that doesn’t imply the iOS-powered smartphones are a paradox. Not only do we understand many of the important features, but we also have a very good notion about the handset design.

Furthermore, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max are all scheduled to be disclosed somewhere in March 2020, as they’ll be available for the masses to purchase by the end of the month.

Here’s what we have known so far about the iPhone’s latest iPhone.

1. Camera 

The latest iPhone will come with a 12MP primary camera as the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Moreover, the iPhone 12 will come with an exciting modern long-range 3D camera that will be perfect for the users who are looking to brush up their photography game.

2. Design

Another thing that we learned is that iPhone SE2 may disappoint us when comes to go design.

Instead of the iPhone X-inspired peeks of current models, the iPhone SE2 will appear to look like an iPhone 8, complete with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor and no Face ID.

We’ve learned that this will make for a very convenient device you’ll easily be able to use using one hand. The device will also star a glass back to support wireless charging.

3. Display 

The iPhone SE2 will have a 4.7-inch screen size. It is anticipated to feature improved brightness and color accuracy, but it will still be LCD and limited to a 1334 x 750 x resolution.

The newest device will come with 326ppi pixel density, which matches the iPhone 11. The iPhone SE2 will not, however, outline the 120Hz ProMotion displays coming to the iPhone 12 range.

However, the highlight of this X-inspired iPhone is expected to have a circa 5/4/5.5-inch display which is considerable.

4. Pricing 

The greatest allure of the iPhone SE2 will be its cost. With Apple expected to commence prices from just $449 with 64GB and 128GB storage options available you might like to give this iPhone a shot.

However, let us warn you that you might get less for your old iPhone from Apple than you might have expected.

5. Performance 

Besides, the iPhone 11’s primary camera, the other highlight is the iPhone SE2’s blazing fast Apple A13 chipset as the iPhone 11 range.

The sole camera and lower-resolution display will see Apple fit less RAM (expected to be 3GB) but the upside is that this will still be one of the fastest phones around and a match for any 2020 Android flagship.

In a nutshell

It might not be the most exciting iPhone Apple releases in 2020 but the iPhone SE2 is apt to be among the best selling devices.

It’s a hybrid of cutting edge performance and photography at a less price and sheltered inside a compact covering, will make it ideal for those on a budget as well as a great choice for kids and less tech-savvy family members which makes it easier to use the newer iPhone.

Protest Against Anti-Muslim Law: 7 Million People Form 620km-Long Human Chain

Indian Protest

In India’s southwest state of Kerala, 7 million people formed a 620km-long human chain to protest against the controversial Anti-Muslim Law, Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The rare sight occurred on Sunday when India marked its 71st Republic Day. However, there were also people who stood united with different political views.

NDTV reported, “The protest was organized by Kerala’s ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF), where millions of people – including chief minister and several newly-weds– lined up from Kasargod in the north of Kerala to Thiruvananthapuram in the south to register their protest against the new controversial move.”

Sangeetha Mohan, a Malayalam actress said, “I believe I am here because it’s my duty to stand up for other citizens who are being sidelined on the basis of caste, creed or religion. This is our India and I stand united with everyone against the Citizenship Amendment Act.”

India Today reported that Lakhs of people take to the streets of Kerala to form a mega human chain against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

What happens if the Citizenship Amendment Act is Passed? 

A Citizenship Amendment Act was passed in December 2019 in India under which “citizens of six religions, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains and Persians who came to India by December 31, 2014, from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh will be granted citizenship.”

Under the aforementioned law, Muslims coming from all three (Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh) countries will not be granted citizenship.

“We are not here for politics. It’s not about the party. We will live and die here in India,” says Muslim woman in Hijab present at the protest.

Someone at the protest added, “they (the government) are trying to scare us. We are all Indians, we are all humans. That’s why we have joined the human chain”.
