Jobs in Germany for Pakistanis: 3 Million Vacancies Available!

Pakistan Foreign Affair officials have released a notification to promote skilled labor at a large scale in Germany.

This comes after the country relaxed its immigration policy to attract highly skilled migrants from abroad (including Pakistan).

The recent amendments in the immigration policy of Germany will allow millions of skilled labors to work in Europe’s biggest economy, provided that they can speak German.

Google’s New Feature Will Help You Find Jobs!

Formulation of a specific strategy by the government of Pakistan can help attain maximum benefit from this opportunity.

In September 2018, 338,200 high skilled jobs in Germany remained unfilled. According to an estimate, there would be a need of 3 million skilled workers in Germany by 2030.

This demanded the need to relax the German immigration policy so that international migrants can be hired to fill skilled labor gaps.

According to Ayesha Saeed, Foreign Affair official serving in Europe, Germany is opening its borders to skilled labors including engineers, metallurgy workers, mathematics, IT technicians and other professionals.

The letter highlights that the major proportion of Pakistan’s population (67%) is under the age bracket of 25. It emphasizes the need to train the interested candidates in order to strengthen their skills and enhance their German language proficiency.

This can also help in the formulation of bilateral institutional mechanism to facilitate the flow of human resource between Pakistan and Germany.

This notification has been forwarded to the National Vocational and Training Commission of Pakistan along with the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training and Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication so that relevant steps can be taken by the officials to promote skilled labor in the country.

On account of the International Day of Disabled Persons, Jack and Charlie Café and Grill has launched the Braille food menu card for visually impaired people.

The innovative step has been taken by this restaurant located in Karachi’s Khayaban e Sehar to facilitate blind persons or people with vision impairment. It will help them to easily order their favorite dish from the menu on their own, without depending on someone else to read out the menu card.

Arizona Grill Controversy: Reason of Minors Death Revealed!

Believing that the Braille Menu should be considered as a standard in every restaurant in Pakistan, the eatery made this a reality for visually impaired citizens.

Taking to Facebook, Jack and Charlie Café and Grill thanked BINAE and Salman Elahi, who is behind the conversion of menu card into Braille form.

Jack and Charlie is the first medium size restaurant in Pakistan to take the initiative of launching Braille Food Menu.

It accommodates the needs of people who are blind or have a vision impairment. We believe having a braille menu should be more of a standard than a gesture.

Today, people across the world are celebrating the International Day of Disabled Persons. We believe this day shouldn’t be the same cliche as every year, where for one day everyone is organizing the event and talking about disability rights, and trending for few hours on social media. Everyone in their personal capacity should take a step forward to do something better for the people with special need because disability is a matter of perception.

They believe that initiatives like this are a great step forward for a better change in Pakistan.

This introduction of Braille menu card has gathered loads of appreciation for Jack and Charlie Café

Jobs in Canada

A Canadian business group has alerted the country that there is a deep-shortage of labours in the country.

As many as 430,000 job vacancies are small to medium-sized firms have been open for the last couple of months.

According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) report, the ratio of open vacancies in Canada has raised from 2.9% to 3.3%.

Immigration to Canada From Pakistan: 7 Ways You Can Make the Move

above the records set before the 2008 financial crisis, and businesses are really feeling the pressure – said CFIB chief economist Ted Mallett.

Furthermore, the report reveals that the shortage is particularly acute services, including sectors like construction, agricultural, and oil and gas sectors. The sudden crisis came after federal and Quebec governments spar over immigration targets.

Reportedly, Quebec Premier Francois Legault has pledged to cut immigration despite the lack of skilled workers from the French-speaking background of the province.

What I hear across Quebec is entrepreneurs, businesses concerned about the labor shortage, so I´m not sure it´s the best time to cut immigration, -Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

“I think Mr. Trudeau sees, like everyone else, that the CAQ government has a clear mandate,” Legault told reporters on his way out of daily question period.

Earlier, under questioning from Liberal interim leader Pierre Arcand, Legault said the Liberals should mind their tongue given their dismal record on integrating immigrants over the last 15 years.

Scholarships in Canada Announced for Pakistani Students

One immigrant in five left Quebec because they didn’t find a decent job – Legault

“So it’s a bit short-sighted to think we will solve Quebec’s labour shortages only with immigration.”

That earned Jolin-Barrette a fresh blast from Liberal immigration critic Dominique Anglade, who accused the CAQ of picking a number out of thin air.

“The one thing that seems clear on the CAQ’s side is that they have picked an arbitrary number based on an ideology,” Anglade said.

Sin Tax in Pakistan to be Imposed on Smokers

sin-tax

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) government is yet again, taking a revolutionary measure in the healthcare sector by imposing a ‘Sin Tax’ (Gunnah Tax) on cigarette smokers across the nation.

Sources say that the federal government was going over several options as high-level consultation meetings are underway to address the matter.

A correspondent of ARY News, Jahangir Khan, said that the center has decided to impose a heavy sin tax on smoking tobacco.

He added:

“The earnings from this tax would be expended on welfare of masses under Prime Minister National Health Programme,”

https://www.brandsynario.com/philip-morris-pledges-to-give-up-cigarette-production/

This step is likely going to lead to an increase in cigarette prices countrywide and earnings from this tax is expected to be in the billions. The tax is already present in some European Union nations in various forms.

Unpacked Cigarettes Banned in Pakistan!

In the Phillippines, it has been imposed with the passing of the Sin Tax Reform bill.

According to a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO):

“Within the first year of passing the bill, Philippines raised more than USD$1.2 billion and allowed the Philippines to provide health care to an additional 14 million families or roughly 45 million Filipinos.”

Jahangir also stated that a tax of around Rs 5-15 a packet was expected to be levied.

Government sources have confirmed that roughly 4 billion cigarette packets are produced in Pakistan annually.

The public exchequer is expected to gain billions of rupees from this taxation.

The news of Sin Tax being imposed in Pakistan was followed by an uproar on social media.

PTI MNA and Federal Water Resources Minister Faisal Vawda took to social media to defend the move 

And Aamir Liaquat agreed with his statement!

UPDATE: Arizona Grill, one of Karachi’s leading eateries faced massive backlash after two minors passed away reportedly from food poisoning.

It was found that the children, Muhammad, 5 years, and his 1.5-year-old brother, Ahmed had dined at the eatery located at Zamzama and had candies at Chunky Monkey.

Medical reports from the case have now been shared. According to these reports, the children had consumed substandard food which later resulted in food poisoning, eventually leading to their death the next day.

However, it is unclear if the unhygienic food was consumed at the eatery or the amusement park.

The sources have added that the final cause of death will also be shared with the media once the microbiology report comes in. Earlier, the reports found no traces of food poisoning in samples collected at the residency.

Approximately, 60 food samples were collected and sent to the lab for tests and analysis following the demise of the minors. Sindh Food Authority also came across a huge amount of expired meat found at the eatery which was reportedly being disposed of.

One of Karachi’s leading eateries, Arizona Grill, along with Chunky Monkey has been sealed after two children lost their lives from food poisoning on Sunday.

Muhammad, 5 years, and his 1.5-year-old brother, Ahmed, had severe food poisoning after they had dinner from Arizona Grill, in DHA Zamzama. Later, they ate sweets from Chunky Monkey DHA Phase-IV on Saturday.

Both the kids, along with their mother, got admitted in the hospital the same night but unfortunately, Muhammad and Ahmed passed away the next day.

Their mother is still admitted in the South City hospital and has been contacted by the police for the details to proceed with their investigation.

According to reports, 6 employees have been arrested by the investigation team and both, Arizona Grill and Chunky Monkey, have been sealed for an unspecified period.

Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah has taken the notice of this tragic incident. He has directed the Commissioner of Karachi to submit a detailed report regarding the inspection of these two facilities and has also advised identifying the people involved in this matter.

Arizona Grill has released a statement regarding the matter and has offered the family their deepest condolences.

Healthy and nutritious food are the fundamental pillars of any restaurant. Arizona Grill proudly upholds these values…

Careem Bus

The UAE based ride-hailing service, Careem, has offered many different modes of transport to Pakistanis in different cities.

Starting off with cars, the platform soon added rickshaws, bikes, mini-car and even Go+ services. Previously, Careem even launched Suzuki Bolan also known as ‘Dabba Service’ for north Pakistan.

Now, the cab service eyes to launch their own bus-service in Pakistan and various other countries around the world.

Careem CEO Mudassir Sheikha shared his company’s plan to expand its type of services in the South Asian country during the inauguration of Careem bus service in Egypt on Monday.

Careem Bike Driver Reportedly Arrested for Robbing Passenger

He added that they will expand their services by giving an opportunity to give bus drivers employment and to help low-mid income earners a cheaper mode of transport compared to car services by 60-70%.

Reportedly, the service is now cash only, but passengers will be able to pay via the Careem wallet on the app soon.

Hadeer Shalaby, Director of Careem Bus, said:

Customers now expect the same high-tech experience across all products and services they engage with – why shouldn’t taking a bus be as seamless as ride-hailing a car? Research conducted by Careem revealed 40 percent of the Egyptian population is not being adequately served by a transportation service that suits their needs and the situation was getting worse.

Careem Bus will revolutionise mass transportation allowing customers to enjoy the benefits of our tech as well as reducing traffic in cities as mass shared-mobility could lead to an 80 percent reduction in the number of vehicles and CO2 emissions by 2050

Careem’s CEO and co-founder Mudassir Sheikha also commented on the occasion”

The launch of Careem Bus means that transport options and mobility has just improved for millions of people, as well as decreasing congestion and pollution in the city. Cairo is just the start. Careem’s move into mass transportation will have a huge and positive impact across the region.

Careem plans to expand the service to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in the near future.

Innovative-iDisconnect

One of Pakistan’s leading biscuit manufacturers, Innovative Biscuits, has recently launched a campaign called ‘iDisconnect’ that is a pure breath of fresh air.

The initiative is urging customers to switch off from social media and to disconnect from unnecessary connections that consumers have all become accustomed to.

In today’s era of digital communication and instant connectivity, people are finding it increasingly difficult to disconnect.

From hundreds of emails each day to non-stop notifications on our cell phones, modern technology separates us from a natural lifestyle and environment.

Innovative Digestive’s campaign makes you take a break!

The brand has taken inspiration from one of Innovative Biscuits’ flagship products, Innovative Digestive.

Going deeper into how Innovative Digestive biscuits are made, it becomes clear where the idea of ‘iDisconnect’ comes from.

Made using real and pure ingredients such as whole wheat and brown sugar, Digestives are completely free of any artificial flavors and/or colors.

To translate this philosophy and extend it to the lives of its consumers, Innovative Biscuits is asking them to be like Digestive!

The idea is to compel consumers to free themselves from artificial constraints, to disconnect from unnecessary things and to reconnect with what is, in fact, real, natural and healthy.

To reinforce this idea, Innovative Digestive invited 6 celebrities, Ahmed Ali Butt, Ahsan Khan, Ushna Shah, Hina Altaf, Sophiya Anjam and Munib Nawaz, to take up the iDisconnect Challenge.

The stars were all invited to spend the day at Greenfields in order to disconnect from technology and their busy lives and connect with their families, friends and themselves.

Once they reached Greenfields, each one of them was asked to surrender their phones!

Faatima Khan couldn’t wait to see if Ahmed Ali Butt could make it without his phone!

Hina Altaf couldn’t imagine spending a day without Instagram!

Sophiya Anjam was excited to spend the day like the 90s!

Ahsan Khan was also excited to get away from social media for a day.

Once the Innovative Digestive iDisconnect challenge began, everyone started taking part in different activities throughout the day.

Later, the gang regrouped for a session of indoor games and some hilarious rounds of dumb charades!

mineral water brands

Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan has warned mineral water companies to improve the quality of their water supply in 7 days or they would be shut down.

Hearing the case regarding the use of the groundwater by mineral water companies, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar has also ordered these companies to pay the price of groundwater.

He strictly warned all brands to stop deceiving the nation.

We cannot let our children drink this water as these companies would turn our country into Ethiopia, people should boycott to drink mineral water.

Chief Justice has also advised the advocate generals of all 4 four provinces to come up suggestions to solve this issue.

CJP stated:

“This fraud with citizens should be ended […] We will not let the citizens’ water and money be wasted.

In November, the Supreme Court directed a judicial commission to inspect the companies selling bottled water in Pakistan. All mineral water companies, including Nestle, were given a 10-day deadline to rectify their errors.

Regarding the use of groundwater by these companies, Chief Justice had remarked:

“They are taking water from Indus River and canals. They are cleaning the water and selling it. There should be a restriction on mineral water companies.”

Farzana Shah, Director General of Environmental Protection Agency, told the Supreme Court that mineral water companies source their water from the ground and canals in Punjab. The canal water is replaced by sewage water which is then used by the farmers for the irrigation of crops.

Supreme Court has not yet registered a case against these mineral water companies but CJP Saqib Nisar is not satisfied by their conduct.

He has also asked for an estimate of the monetary reimbursement for the water that had been withdrawn.

insta stories

Content posted Instagram is mostly visible to the masses unless you have privacy settings enabled.

However, despite the fact that the application gives you privacy options, it still feels like Instagram wants you to have more interaction with people outside your circle.

The popular feature called ‘Insta Stories’ is a good example of this. If you post a picture, or video, or even go live, pretty soon strangers are found commenting

However, Instagram has introduced a new feature this week which now allows you to keep those stories personal while still keeping your account (the stories you chose) public.

Top 10 Most Engaging Brands on Instagram Revealed

The feature called ‘Close Friends’, allows you to choose whether an image is shared publicly or just with close friends list when you add it to a story.

How to Share Instagram Stories with Close Friends List

  1. Open your Instagram application and tap on your profile icon
  2. Tap the hamburger icon at the top-right corner of the page
  3. Select ‘Close Friends List‘ from the drop-down menu
  4. You can manually add people by clicking the ‘Add‘ option aside their name, you can also tap suggestions to make things easier (Instagram will surface people you interact with often on the platform)
  5. Once done, you will start seeing a ‘Close Friends‘ icon when you create a story
  6. Tap it and the story will only be sent to your close friends, voila!

One thing that’s worth noting is that ‘Close Friends’ stories are designated with a green circle around them rather than a red one.

Images shared in this feature, cannot be shared elsewhere, so you do not need to worry about your friends sharing your pictures.
