Haier Becomes the Only Manufacturer in Pakistan with an Internationally Accredited HNR Air Conditioning Testing Lab!

Press Release
-
Haier

Haier Pakistan’s air conditioning division was established in 2002 and soon Haier air conditioner became a prestigious brand in the minds of Pakistani consumers.

With the greatest market-share in Pakistan, Haier has been leading the Pakistani air conditioning market for the last 10 years.

For many years, there had been no national standard for air conditioning in Pakistan. The quality of products in the market is not good and some small scale local manufacturers advertise false information without any verification from any certified laboratory.

In 2017 the National Energy Efficiency Standards Committee and Air Conditioning Certification Committee were set up, to develop and implement energy labeling (Energy efficiency) standards.

Haier established its first air enthalpy difference lab in 2002 for testing of air conditioner products at different conditions, which was the first lab developed and still is the only air conditioner testing lab available in Pakistan.

In 2015 Haier’s accreditation team worked tirelessly for 2 years to get the lab certified by PNAC (Pakistan National Accreditation Council).

In 2019 a formal application was forwarded to PNAC to check the compliance of the lab management system (ISO 17025:2017) which after pre-assessment and complete assessment issued the certification in November 2019.

After this certification, Haier is actively taking the initiative to participate in standards development. Now Haier is also authorized to provide testing services for external customers (other brands), as they have no such facility.

The certified air enthalpy difference lab has testing capabilities to assess a wide range of commercial air conditioners and split air conditioners and test their cooling capacity, heat capacity and air volume.

The products are checked and tested according to the standard (ISO 5151) to ensure that products manufactured are qualified according to international standards.

The accreditation of Haier’s HNR AC Testing Lab proves that Haier is committed to not just international quality manufacturing, but also international quality testing to ensure that its products can stand equal as compared with air conditioners manufactured anywhere in the world.

Apple Watch

For all the Apple watch fans, we have some upsetting news for you. The joy you get after wearing an Apple watch might just fade from here now onwards, after knowing that Apple might as well have stolen the Tech from Masimo and Cercacor.

It is shocking for Apple fans around the globe that an American company has sued the California tech giant for stealing its supposedly secret technology for use.

It appears that the California tech giant offered a partnership to Masimo with it, but later changed its mind over the deal and instead hired its own employees.

Masimo, an American manufacturing company monitoring technology has partnered with subsidiary company Cercacor Laboratories and filed a lawsuit against the California tech giant.

Apple Watch

Apple has used its technology to resolve performance issues in the Apple Watch, claims  Masimo and Cercacor. Other than that, Apple Watch 4 and Apple Watch 5 are highlighted as the main devices that fall under the patent infringement.

These accusations are shocking in nature but Apple and all parties involved will face serious consequences, if proven guilty. However, there has been no official statement made by Apple.

These accusations seem to be surfacing on the internet but there are no official statements made by any of the opposing parties either. The companies, however, have made it clear that they require Apple to use their technology any further, effective immediately.

Amazon

Despite some of the challenges, the world’s retailer giants remain some of the highest turnover companies in the world and a recent report by the Institute for Real Growth (IRG) undertaken by Kantar/WPP highlights the sheer scale of these businesses.

digital pakistan

Tania Aidrus, the former Google executive and MIT professional heading the ‘Digital Pakistan’ initiative recently launched by Prime Minister Imran Khan, has described it as having ‘an overarching vision that aims to unlock the potential of Pakistan’s digital future’.

She opens up about her views on the initiative and her plans for it in an exclusive interview carried in the January 2020 issue of Monthly SouthAsia.

Tania says Pakistan must work towards a future in which technology touches and enriches the life of every citizen, thereby driving higher productivity and giving the people greater control by unleashing their entrepreneurial potential and propelling Pakistan forward towards a secure economic future.

Tania Aidrus is an ex-Google executive. She has been made in charge of the Prime Minister’s Digital Pakistan initiative which is expected to herald a technologically-driven environment for the tech-savvy youth of Pakistan.

Talking about the start-up environment in the country, Tania says she strongly believes that Pakistan’s startup ecosystem is poised for take-off as ‘the middle class is growing and is driving growth in consumer spending’.

She states there are 70 million broadband internet users in the country besides a mostly young and dynamic population and incredible talent. In her opinion, it is only a matter of time when a few big successes in Pakistan will suddenly bring regional and global attention to the massive opportunity that exists in the country.

Asked how can this be a more structured, coherent and measurable pathway, Tania clarifies that like most other ambitious transformations, what Pakistan needs is a clear, comprehensive and articulate strategy to determine where it wants to go in the long term.

In Tania’s view, the Digital Pakistan initiative will make a marked contribution to the job market as the next billion-dollar companies will come from IT and hundreds of thousands of new jobs will be created.

She assures that these jobs will be in multiple sectors and functions and will offer the single biggest opportunity to Pakistan to help it bridge the unemployment gap.

Making her views about the blocks in the way of entrepreneurial evolution in the IT sector in Pakistan known, she says things should be made easier for tech startups to operate easily in the country.

In Pakistan’s future tech development, Tania pins her hopes on the private sector and adds that the government could contribute by creating an enabling environment for the new entrants.

‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’ Writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Slammed for Second Marriage

Khalil-ur-rehman

Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has faced immense backlash since the news of his second marriage broke. It has been confirmed by his own family during an interview with a famous journalist Sohail Warraich. His recent work, Mere Pass tum ho, currently on- air on ARY Digital has earned its reputation for portraying women in our society. The writer has also come under the limelight not just because of his remarkable work but also his misogynist remarks.

During a guest appearance on the show, Aik Din Geo Kay Sath, Khalil-ur-Rehman got candid with his first wife, Rubi Naz, and family. His first wife seemingly had no complaints regarding her husband.

Upon investigating about his second marriage, Rubi responded, “Yeh 24 hours hamaray sath hi hotay hain, beech main ghanta do ghanta jatay hain. (He is with us all day, but he does leave us for an hour or two during the day).”

The family wasn’t directly confirming the news at the beginning of the interview but rather covering it. Khalil’s daughter, however, spoke up and added fuel to fire. She said, “Beech main ghaib ho jatay hain (He usually disappears during the day).”

Khalil’s fans are now calling him out as a hypocrite and also labeling the writer as a flirt. His wife during the interview also added, “Aurton k har waqt call aati hai, aur kuch yeh bhi dil phaink hain (Women call him all the time, and he himself is a flirt too.)”

The writer was earlier called out for his misogynistic remarks regarding equality during an interview with Entertainment Pakistan. While speaking to the interviewer, he said, “You can’t find a bigger feminist in Pakistan than me.”

The interviewer further questioned if he has heard of five women abducting a man to which his response was, “If women want equality, they need to do the same things men are doing” which was “Go and rob a bus, abduct a man and gang-rape him. Only then I would know there is equality.”

Many media platforms report that his second wife is Eshal Fayyaz. However, nothing has been confirmed by the writer himself.

Recently, the writer broke silence over Facebook, denied allegations of his second marriage with actress Eshal Fayyaz. He took it to his official page and wrote, “I strongly condemn and reject absurd and baseless news of my marriage with the heroine of my film Kaaf Kangna.”

“It is so shameless to peep into the personal lives of artists like us and destroy our images.” He further added, “I solemnly declare nothing of the sort ever happened between me and the heroine and we were just working together to complete the project in quite a professional way.”

On Saturday, Kaaf Kangna’s actress, Eshal Fayyaz also cleared on social media regarding the rumor of her marriage with the writer. She said, “There is no truth in rumours that are doing the rounds since yesterday. I haven’t got married to anyone, I am very much single.”

She further added, “My relationship with Khalil ur Rehman Qamar is that of one between an actor and a director, nothing more than that.”

10 Winter Foods To Keep You Warm & Happy!

We’re almost done with November, and winter has slowly but surely made its way into some, if not most parts of Pakistan.

While people in the north may be feeling the winter more than those situated in hotter cities, a chill is still making its way into the air.

With winter, as with all seasons, comes the food that can be best enjoyed in the chilly breeze or from the warm comforts of your home.

Here’s a list of 10 food items that are guaranteed to make you enjoy winter to the best of its potential and help you stay warm while keeping your taste-buds satisfied.

Let’s have a look!

1. Dried Fruits

An age-old tradition of winters in Pakistan, dried fruits are your best bet to really enjoy the feel of winter in the air. They are easy to store for long periods of time, offer a variety of selections, and are super delicious to boot.

Anyone who’s ever taken a trip up north in Pakistan can’t resist returning with bundles of dried fruits to hoard over the chilly month – be it prunes, apricots, raisins, or any of the numerous varieties.

2. Peanuts

Flag down your local thailay-waala for a bag of toasty warm peanuts and you’re set for the night. Breaking the shells and working to get to the tasty (and warm!) peanuts inside can be a hassle, but a little manual labour never hurt anybody. The satisfaction of toasty warm peanuts is well worth the effort.

3. Fried Fish

If you’re looking for something more filling than dry fruits and nuts, a little street food is a way to go. Fried fish is easily available at many ‘dhaabas’ and each one is likely to offer its own distinct flavor or masala.

4. Paaye

A popular dinner party choice, paaye is a great dish to serve for dinner in winter. It can be as spicy as you want, and if the cook is skilled enough, you can get the most out of its distinctively delicious flavour.

For the best experience, make sure to eat with naan fresh out of the naan-waala’s oven.

5. Gajar Ka Halwa

Many a winter wedding and the fact that it’s a dessert best served warm have made gajar ka halwa a great winter delicacy.

While it can be topped off with either nuts or the milky khoya, the base recipe of carrots, milk, and sugar usually remains the same.

6. Kashmiri Chai

A popular beverage of choice at winter weddings, Kashmiri chai is a well-loved and much-drunk tea with an attractive pink colour.

It is sweet, nutty, and warm – the perfect winter combo.

7. Kahwa

If health buffs aren’t feeling the sweetness of Kashmiri chai – or you just don’t like pink tea – then kahwa is also a great option for a warm winter drink.

Kahwa

In simple words, it’s a green tea that will leave you feeling warm and fairly energized.

8. Halwa Puri

Halwa Puri – with the complete assortment of daal and aloo, of course – is supremely delicious in any season. But there’s no denying that there’s just something special about halwa puri for breakfast at your favourite dhaaba in the early morning chill of winter.

9. Pomegranate

Who doesn’t love a good bowl of pomegranate? Particular to the wintry season, the tangy taste of the vibrant fruit is always a treat – add a little bit of salt and pepper and you have a healthy and delicious snack on your hands. If you’re not a fan of the seeds, you can’t go wrong with pomegranate juice.

10. Soup

A timeless classic, soup – chicken or otherwise – is always good for the soul, and for the stomach. It can be basic chicken or vegetable soup, or hot and sour soup from your favourite Chinese restaurant.

As long as it’s sweater weather and the soup is just the right amount of warm, there’s a quick fix for your winter food cravings.

Yasir Hussain Comes to Iqra Aziz’s Rescue From an Internet Troll!

People around the globe believe that celebs are public property and they can’t have a private life.

Every other day we witness celebs being trolled and someone or the other trying to put them down.

So, the recent case of this was the newly married Yasir Hussain when a troll commented under his nikah video:

“Bhai kitni Baar upload karoge ye video…abhi tak nikah k sadme me ho kya [How many times will you upload this video? Are you still unable to get out of the shock of marriage]?”

Yasir Hussain clapped back with a shrewd response as always to zip the troller shut and stated:

“tum se thori hui hai jo sadmy mai rahonga. mai toh khushi se laga raha hun [I didn’t get married to you for me to still be in shock. I’m putting these up happily].”

Another user shared an ‘enlightening’ comment on the newest groom and wrote that he should not post anything regarding his beautiful bride Iqra Aziz.

To that, the actor took out the blazing guns of words and said that people need to mind their own business.

Soon after, the social media users were clinging on to the thread below his Instagram post and applauding the actor for his response.

At the 18th edition of the Lux Style Awards on, Hussain went down on one knee and popped the question to his long-time girlfriend, Iqra and now the two are honeymooning in Sri Lanka.

Let’s hope trollers don’t start with these two love birds again.

The eatery tweeted, sharing a clip of the announcement, that even though they are stepping back as royals, Harry is welcomed to dine like a true King at the restaurant.
