Pakistan Aeronautical Complex launches a computing tablet, a notebook and an eBook reader.

Image
The newest entrant in the market for tablets and eBook readers – dominated by the likes of Apple, Amazon and Samsung – is none other than the Pakistani military. The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra, whose self-described mission is “to produce and support weapon systems for a high state of operational readiness of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF)”, has started up a new commercial venture with a Chinese company, which an official told The Express Tribune was to “strengthen the national economy”. The first three products produced by PAC are a computing tablet, a notebook and an eBook reader. A press release issued at the launch of the project on December 29 notes that “for the joint production of JF-17, PAF had established sufficient facilities which are appropriate for the production of both defence and commercial products.”

Tulaja fort Khushab

Image
The Tulaja fort The Tulaja fort is located on a huge rock outcropping with sheer cliffs overlooking the shrine of Kacchianwalla and the Punjab plains. The entire area is covered with the ruins of defensive walls, houses, and other structures made of large stone blocks. Although one building has been identified as a mosque, it is very difficult to distinguish other religious, military or civil structures. One of the most interesting features is a large square tank made of the flat rectangular bricks, which may have supplied water so that the fort could withstand a siege. Comparing this tank with those in other forts may help in assigning a relative date to its construction. In addition to architectural styles, evidence from any coins, which are found here, may help to indicate if this city belonged to the period of the Turk Sultans, Lodhis or Mughals. Extensive remains of a cemetery and other settlements are on the slopes below the fort. There are also supposed to be some remains on

Daylight Saving Time

Image
Daylight Saving Advantages Many people around the world treasure the extra hour of daylight in the afternoon because they work later hours, exercise in the evenings or need to complete outdoor household chores such as mowing the grass, gardening or fixing windows, roofs or other parts. Others have reported that daylight saving time could be linked to reduced road injuries. A joint Transport Research Laboratory and University College of London study predicted that less people would be killed and injured in road accidents if one hour of daylight was transferred from the morning to the afternoon. The study supports the adoption of Single Double Summer Time (SDST) in the United Kingdom, where politicians, together with the general public, voice their opinions on the introduction of an extended daylight saving schedule.

Hippocrates was the first person who spoke about the anti-inflammatory effect of inhaled salt particles. He was aware of the curative nature of the halite salt mined from the Carpathian Mountains where today the salt crystals from the Praid salt mine are put into the Dry Salt Inhaler “Salt miners do not suffer from respiratory diseases” observed the Polish physician F. Bochkowsky. Bronchitis and other respiratory diseases can be cured or effectively treated the natural way, he argued in 1843.
