The decision came following protest from Pakistan that if India refuses to send its players to the country for the ACC Emerging Teams’ Asia Cup, it won’t send its players to India for Asia Cup.

The Emerging Teams’ Asia Cup will now be co-hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with the latter set to host the majority of the matches. The tournament has, however, been shifted from April to December.

“The ACC deliberated on the matter and decided that this was the best way forward,” Sethi was quoted as saying yesterday.

“All decisions were unanimous. All participants agreed to support the return of international cricket to Pakistan subject to certain constraints. That’s why the ACC Annual General Meeting will be held in Lahore and the BCCI has pledged to participate in it like all other ACC members. That’s why a number of matches of the Emerging Asia Cup will be played in Pakistan,” -Najam Sethi

5G Pakistan

Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui on Tuesday hinted at the possibility of the introduction of 5G technology in Pakistan by 2019.

According to Siddiqui, this will be the attraction the nation needs to pull-in massive foreign investment.

According to reports and surveys, the country has already prospered and has shown tremendous reports as far as the user-base of 3G and 4G is concerned.

Recently, it was also found that Pakistan’s 4G service was listed as one of the world’s fastest service, even beat India in the race.

Pakistan Has Better 4G Speed Than India: Report

Siddiqui expressed his high hopes of foreign investment as Pakistan is progressing day by day and is developing new means in terms of technology as well.

We need to introduce more innovative services in mobile broadband not only to facilitate consumers but also to attract foreign investment and meet modern-day requirements,

The world is changing rapidly and to compete with other nations we need to adopt new technologies. -Siddiqui

He further added:

“Foreign companies are interested in investing in Pakistan which is a huge market and the fifth largest in terms of freelancers,”

The minister emphasized that the objective of the present government is to produce results which will be beneficial to both the producers and the consumers.

Let’s see when Pakistan ventures into the G territory after which we are hoping that the government will introduce services like PayPal and AliPay.

Domino’s Pizza Starts Drone Delivery in Pakistan

Imagine ordering a pizza and instead of your meal arriving on a bike, it arrives in no time from the sky!

Well, Flying Food is now a reality!

Domino’s Pizza has just raised the bar by declaring an innovative way of delivering pizzas.  Surpassing vehicles of all sorts, the brand has begun its Drone Delivery Service in a bid to ensure faster delivery.

It all started when the Domini’s Pizza started teasing that they are all set to roll out something new for their customers.

We clearly have thought of everything, haven't we? Got a clue as to what's about to come?#GreatnessFromDominos #BrandNewDelivery

Domino's Pizzaさんの投稿 2018年9月7日金曜日

Not even in their wildest dreams, anybody could have thought that Domino’s Pizza will be introducing drones.

Just a few moments away till the big reveal. Keep those guesses coming in!#NewDeliveryMethod #GreatnessFromDominos

Domino's Pizzaさんの投稿 2018年9月7日金曜日

Finally, the big reveal was made by that brand and became the first in Pakistan to introduce the idea to the nation.

Drone Delivery

Keep your passports ready as we take off into the unknown. If you spot a drone flying around in your neighborhood, please don't try to take it down, it could be someone's lunch!#Dominos #DroneDelivery #GreatnessFromDominos

Posted by Domino's Pizza on Saturday, September 8, 2018

Pakistanis have the most hilarious reaction to this new innovation!

However, is this actually more efficient than the traditional method of delivery?

With foodies and their growing demand for speedy delivery, the eatery aimed to make it all the easier with an instant collection of food.

Drone service will surely defeat the challenges of long-mile deliveries, logistics costs, and traffic delays. Research reveals that it is also environmentally friendly and efficient.

However, while a delivery bike or a truck can carry hundreds of pizzas, Domino’s drone service will surely fail in transporting meals ordered in large quantity. Also, since the element of a delivery guy will be minimized, so would the Cash on Delivery option.

What’s more, they are an expensive mode of transportation with a low battery life. Operating drones is a tricky task as they require deep technical familiarity. Harsh weather will also come into play while using the device.

Domino’s Pizza first introduced the service in New Zealand with the world’s ultimate pizza drone delivery.

“The use of drones is the next stage of the company’s expansion into the artificial intelligence space and gives us the ability to learn and adopt new technologies in the business,” stated Domino’s Group CEO Don Meij.

The pursuit of technological innovation is happening all over the world. There is a growing interest from global players to invest in this revolution. Uber is already experimenting with Drone technology while Amazon Prime is already delivering goods with a drone.

Mercedes-Benz has also announced a partnership with Silicon Valley Drone Startup Matternet to develop an integrated Van/Drone delivery system.

Will the concept work in Pakistan? Let us know in the comments below.

The Reason of the Alleged Ban

The report by Gulf Daily News revealed that as many as 50 forged Pakistani passports issued by the Pakistani Embassy in Bahrain have been discovered by immigration officials.

However, in another report, Pakistani passport holders in Bahrain are being demanded to visit their nearest police station with official documents for fingerprint verification.

A 30-year-old banker living in Bahrain for less than two years stated:

I got a call from the Muharraq Police Station two weeks ago asking me to go with my original passport and CPR for verification

I went there to find at least 30 Pakistanis waiting in queue, and one by one we were asked if the documents were original.

All Pakistanis are being summoned for this verification and I also learn that soon a no-objection-certificate will be issued after the verification.

The matter is now being escalated on social media so that relevant authorities can take urgent note of the matter and resolve it for Pakistanis living in Bahrain, legally.

‘The Hate U Give’ Movie Takes the “Black Lives Matter” Campaign Further

By
AFP
-
The Hate U Give

The Toronto film festival cast a spotlight over the weekend on racism and police brutality in director George Tillman Jr.’s “The Hate U Give.”

Applauded by critics and audiences alike, the adaptation of the best-selling young adult novel by Angie Thomas is “a timely commentary in the Black Lives Matter era,” said the festival’s youth committee that chose to screen the movie.

“We are, through this film, protesting police brutality,” said Amandla Stenberg who plays Starr, a teenage girl seeking her voice while living a dual life — growing up in a tough black neighbourhood while attending a predominantly white prep school in another part of town in hopes of a safe and better future.

“Hopefully what it does is, make black people, black girls feel validated, feel empowered, feel strong, and stand up for their truth,” she said.

“And hopefully it brings some light to these events, and evokes empathy in people to have a real dialogue about it, from a real place instead of just understanding these events in a topical and sometimes desensitized manner.”

The film opens with Starr’s father (played by Russell Hornsby) trying to instil black pride in her and her siblings at a very young age, while also warning them of potential perils of being black, for example, how to navigate a police encounter — what Hornsby described to reporters as a chilling lesson for a child.

At school, although her classmates adopt the slang and clothing of black Americans, she is more circumspect about her cultural heritage.

“Slang makes them look cool, but it makes me look good,” she says in the film.

Back in her neighbourhood, she is forced to flee a weekend house party broken up by gunshots, which is presented as an unfortunate normality in the community.

A childhood friend, Khalil (Algee Smith), offers to drive her home, but it all goes sideways during a routine traffic stop when Khalil is shot dead by a white police officer as the 17-year-old boy reaches for a hairbrush.

Investigating police seek to blame the victim, and by association Starr, while a local gang leader presses her to keep quiet for fear of being implicated, and a civil rights lawyer urges her to testify before a grand jury in hopes of getting justice for Khalil.

– Black Lives Matter movement –
Such killings in the United States, publicised by smartphone and police video, have given rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.

But prosecutions, let alone guilty verdicts, have proven rare.

At a press conference, author Angie Thomas said: “It is important to speak up and speak out, especially in moments of injustice.”

But too often, she explained, black people in impoverished and crime-ridden neighbourhoods in the United States do not feel safe coming forward.

“Not snitching is a survival tactic,” she said.

“There is no witness protection for people who talk about what happens in the neighbourhood,” echoed Anthony Mackie, who plays gang leader King in the film.

“As a community, as a people, as men, our job is to protect women and children and in this generation, we have failed miserably,” he said.

“So until we do our job, the idea of speaking out about what’s happening in our community is practically impossible because there’s no one to protect you.”

The film, which will be released in theatres on October 19, also stars Issa Rae, Regina Hall, Sabrina Carpenter, rapper Common, KJ Apa and Lamar Johnson.

“Hunger Games” actress Stenberg was assailed on social media for not being “black enough” when she was cast in the role but delivers a stellar performance.

“It was the first time in my life that I’d had my blackness questioned,” she said in Toronto. “Ironically it’s something that Starr faces in the film.”

“It’s been hard,” she acknowledged. “But I have a great sensitivity towards the place from which that comes. It’s a place of pain, it’s a result of people being frustrated because they are navigating a colorist system at all times. And that’s painful.”

Pakistani Producer & Director Wins ‘Best Documentary’ Award at DCSAFF

The 7th annual Washington DC South Asain Film Festival concluded on 9th September where short movies and thought-provoking documentaries, engrossing feature films, from individuals from the origin of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and other countries were screened.

The festival was held in collaboration with Women in Film and Television Society and Montgomery College in the American capital.

The red carpet glistened with big names in the film industry including Boney Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar, Janhvi Kapoor, Suraj Sharma, Catherine Hand, Kimberly Skyrme, Petrina D’Rozario, Piymush Punjani the director of Opening Night Film 5 Rupiya to name a few.

A total of 6 attractions were submitted by Pakistanis, including a feature film titled ‘Some Lover to Some Beloved’ a short film titled ‘Grand Pa and I), and a documentary titled ‘The Unknown Mountaineers’ and more.

Director and Producer of The Unknown Mountaineers, Sherbano Saiyid, was awarded ‘Best Documentary’ Award at the event.

Eight young women from Shimshal, Hunza, led by Karachi-based, independent filmmaker Shehrbano Saiyid broke several records when they conquered three peaks with temperatures dipping -10 or less, at the Karakoram Range, in Gilgit-Baltistan region.

According to mountaineering official from Shimshal, Qudrat Ali:

“these girls summited three 6000m peaks (close to 20,000ft) back to back within six days. This is a record not only for women but for all non-professional Pakistani climbers and trekkers.”

This team of eight women aged between 18 to 25, manoeuvred two unclimbed routes, which are now named after them — including a mountain that had never been climbed before.

Two of these mountains have been named after these Hunza women. Five Nannies Peak 1 and Five Nannies Peak 2. The decision was made by the group,” said Shehrbano.

Dubbed Pakistan Women’s Expedition (PWE), the eight-member team is organized and led by Shehrbano, who initiated this project as part of her documentary series on Pakistan’s northern areas, and life in the Karakoram — one of the biggest glaciers and mountain attractions in the world.

I wanted to share the stories of people who live here, in my documentaries and through their stories, show the true picture of diversity, the richness of tradition and the tremendous beauty of the mountainous region of Pakistan

These people are tourism-thirsty,” Bano added.

Congratulations to the talented lady!

PIA Passengers Stranded in Toronto: Female Protestor Arrested at the Airport

PIA

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has made it to the headlines yet again and as predicted, for all the wrong reasons.

Hordes of passengers, including 5 infants and 7 wheelchair-bound senior citizens, have been left stranded at the Toronto Pearson International Airport due to 12-hour flight delay. Angry protestors took to social media to report the incident.

It all started when the aviation service first announced a waiting period of 4 hours due to a technical difficulty in the plane.

However, PIA officials did not update the passengers regarding the recommencement of the journey, making the delay as long as 12 hours.

As per various reports surfacing on Twitter, no accommodations have yet been given to the stranded passengers.

Meanwhile, renowned Pakistani filmmaker Rafay Rashidi is also grounded at the airport and slammed PIA for mismanagement.

“many senior citizens in wheel chairs sitting in line – infants – and frustrated travelers- Rafay Rashidi”

The outcry by the passengers has escalated matters at the airport. 

The security officials have reportedly taken a female protestor under custody after she lost her cool over the delay.

So far no action has been taken by the national carrier to solve the crisis at hand. No PIA representative has yet addressed the passengers or informed them about the flight schedule.

However, PIA has responded to Rafay Rashdi on Twitter and has asked the details of the flight.

 

This is a developing story.

Asia-Cup-2018

“Shahid Afridi you beauty, what a win!” do you remember these words? Do they bring back nostalgic memories from when Pakistan beat India at Asia Cup 2014? Well, how can one forget?

When India rolled out their #MaukaMauka campaign, one could feel how over-confident they were as to who will lift the Asia Cup trophy. However, their dreams were soon crushed and Sri Lanka took the title.

Now, even more determined to bring the trophy home, the Asia Cup #KnockThemOut campaign is a direct hit at arch-rival Pakistan. Both giants are set to lock horns on 19th September and we might just see an Indo-Pak final!

Starring Bollywood movie ‘3 Idiots’ star Omi Vadiya aka Chatur Ramalingam, the TVC focuses on how annoying neighbours can be. Labelling him as ‘Pange waala Padosi’, the campaign focuses on how such neighbours will do whatever it takes to bring you down and belittle you.

Alibaba Co-Founder Jack Ma Announces Retirement!

Alibaba co-founder and chief Jack Ma announced he will leave from the Chinese e-commerce giant Monday to devote his time to philanthropy focused on education.

Ma was an English teacher before starting Alibaba in 1999 and built it into a multibillion-dollar internet colossus.

His own worth has soared along with that of the company, which was valued at $420.8 billion based on its share price at the close of trading on Friday.

Ma told The New York Times that he plans to step down from the company, referring to his retirement as “the beginning of an era” rather than an end.

After being knocked back by US venture capitalists in 1999, cash-strapped Chinese entrepreneur Ma persuaded friends to give him $60,000 to start an e-commerce firm called Alibaba.

As he prepares to leave the company, Ma is among China’s super rich. His net worth was estimated at $36.6 billion by Forbes.

Ma will turn 54 years old on Monday, the day he is retiring.

He gave up his university teaching job after discovering the internet.

Seeing an opportunity for small businesses to buy and sell their goods online, he started Alibaba, initially running the company out of his apartment in the eastern city of Hangzhou.

“The first time I used the internet, I touched on the keyboard and I find ‘well, this is something I believe, it is something that is going to change the world and change China,'” Ma once told CNN.

Ma has inspired strong devotion among his employees and users, drawing comparisons with late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs — although he practiced a more open management style.

A devotee of tai chi, he has made references to Chinese martial arts in both business strategy and corporate culture.

Porter Erisman, a former Alibaba employee who made a documentary about the firm, “Crocodile in the Yangtze,” said: “What Silicon Valley is known for, he embodies a lot of that with Chinese characteristics — that spirit of openness, risk-taking, innovation.”

Ma graduated from the Hangzhou Teachers College with a major in English-language education, and went on to teach at another university in the city, where Alibaba is still headquartered.

Chinese state media have burnished his rags-to-riches story, saying his parents were poorly educated and his father depended on a monthly retirement allowance of just $40 to support the family.

Ma’s success was evident after Alibaba’s Taobao bested eBay in China, forcing the US auction site to largely withdraw from the country in 2006.

Rapper Mac Miller Dead at 26

The artist, who just a month ago released his fifth album whose new maturity and introspection won him once-elusive critical acclaim, was found unresponsive at his Los Angeles home by emergency personnel who pronounced him dead, the coroner’s office said.

His family confirmed his death in a statement, calling the rapper born as Malcolm McCormick “a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans.”

Neither side revealed his cause of death, but the celebrity news site TMZ, which first reported the death, cited unnamed sources as saying he had overdosed on drugs.

Miller’s death comes several months after he ended a high-profile, two-year relationship with pop superstar Grande, who was often seen as the inspiration for his songs.

She guest-starred on his 2016 album “The Divine Feminine,” and a year later Miller — sporting his signature baseball cap above his tattooed neck — welcomed Grande on the airport tarmac when she returned to the United States following the deadly attack on her concert in Manchester.

In May, shortly after their breakup, Miller crashed his car and was charged with driving under the influence.

Grande at the time wrote on social media that she had long tried to help Miller become sober but described their relationship as “toxic” and said, “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.”

Grande, who quickly became engaged to comedian Pete Davidson after splitting with Miller, did not immediately comment on the rapper’s death but blocked comments on her Instagram page after a slew of critical remarks.

– Open about struggles –

Miller has been open about his trouble with substance abuse including an addiction to powerful cough syrup — known on the street as purple drank.

He addressed both his drug use and his fragile emotional state on his latest album, “Swimming,” and said he was improving.

He told Rolling Stone when the album came out: “Have I done drugs? Yeah. But am I a drug addict? No.”

In an interview published just days before his death, Miller told New York magazine he was trying to tame his negative emotions.

“I don’t want to be depressed. I want to be able to have good days and bad days,” he said.

Born in Pittsburgh, the rapper first found fame releasing music online as a teenager, choosing a minimalist style with heavy beats that harked back to early hip-hop.

His delivery was uber-masculine, with hard-spit lyrics that often graphically described sexual encounters. On his debut album “Blue Slide Park,” which went to number one on the US sales chart, he introduced himself: “I ain’t no hipster / But girl I can make your hips stir.”

But Miller gradually tried to evolve from his frat-boy image. His later work incorporated jazz elements and he was set to tour later this year with Thundercat, the wide-ranging bassist whose music has gone from experimental hip-hop to thrash metal.

– Feud with pre-White House Trump –

In 2011, Miller wrote a song about becoming fabulously wealthy and, seeking a metaphor, entitled the song “Donald Trump.”

The future president was flattered by the song, although he described the lyrics as “a little hard to understand.” Trump hailed Miller as “the new Eminem” — the most famous white rapper.

After Trump’s surprise political ascent, Miller reversed the message of the song and would vociferously denounce the mogul in concert. Trump in turn changed his mind about the song and said he deserved to be paid royalties.

Tributes to Miller came from rappers including Wiz Khalifa, a fellow Pittsburgh artist who took Miller under his wing. Khalifa tweeted, “Praying for Mac’s family and that he rest easy.”

Chance the Rapper credited Miller with helping him early in his career and called him “one of the sweetest guys I ever knew.”
