Nadra Launches Platform For Tracking Sex Offenders

May 14, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

To assist people and organizations in locating and tracking those found guilty of sex crimes against women and children, the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) established the National Sex Offenders Registry (NSOR) platform in conjunction with an SMS verification service.

It is an ever-changing database of sexual offenders. Links with various law enforcement agencies and provincial governments have been created to provide for real-time updates.

This change aims to increase the service’s flexibility and responsiveness to institutional and societal demands for sexual assault and abuse prevention.

Citizens, employers, and government agencies will be made aware of these offenders thanks to an SMS-based verification program.

Chairman of Nadra Tariq Malik said, “This initiative has always remained close to my heart, which is a critical step towards safeguarding women and children from sexual violence and abuse.”

Action Taken To Stop Sexual Assault And Abuse

In order to guarantee that those recruited for domestic duties, at mosques, colleges or universities, or for any other work, are not sexual offenders, have a clean criminal record, and can be trusted around women and children, he declared that residents may now utilize this service to check the CNIC number of potential employees.

According to Mr. Malik, stopping even one case of sexual assault against a kid or a woman is an investment in the future of our nation as well as an act of protection.

Our country has to take this obligation to the least of the poor seriously.

“We must acknowledge that stopping child and women sexual abuse requires more than simply punishing perpetrators; it also requires fostering an environment of safety and protection for the most vulnerable populations [children and women]. Only then can we guarantee that the following generation has the chance to prosper.

This service’s goal is to make information on sex offenders accessible to institutions and individuals right away.

Additionally, the information may be utilized to track down criminals so that they can be prosecuted for their crimes and prevented from doing them again.

Citizens can check if a potential employee is a convicted sex offender by submitting a 13-digit CNIC number to the SMS short code 7000 once the applicant provides their CNIC. After authentication, a message in Urdu saying “Beware! prisoner is XYZ’s son ABC. Keep him away from women and children.

IWC Introduces The Pink Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41

April 7, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

IWC Schaffhausen’s new Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 in a vibrant pink acknowledges its relationship with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.

The team’s appearance in the next race at the Miami International Autodrome will also have the striking colors. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will wear pink-colored gloves and shoes. Team members who will be in attendance at the event in Miami will also be sporting the pink strapped team watch.

IWC Schaffhausen has been the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team’s official engineering partner for a full ten years as of 2023. IWC celebrated their fruitful collaboration, which began in 2013, with the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team only last year.

The chronograph, which IWC created as its partner’s first official team watch, honors the drive and tenacity of the team’s designers, aerodynamicists, racing engineers, strategists, and mechanics. IWC currently offers a brand-new model of this Pilot’s watch with a gorgeous Miami Pink rubber strap.

The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team was unveiled during the first Miami Grand Prix a year ago and is made of incredibly robust grade 5 titanium. In the 1980s, IWC developed the first wristwatch with a titanium case and band, introducing this material as a pioneer in the watch business.

Titanium weighs around 45% less than steel and has the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metal. It is also widely used in automotive engineering to manufacture components subject to extreme stains, such as engine valves. Additionally, the corrosion-resistance and skin friendliness of titanium are impressive.

The clock features a black dial with Petronas green printing and illumination to match the team’s colors. The 69385 calibre movement, produced by IWC, powers the chronograph.

The sapphire glass back allows you to see the 242 parts of the sturdy column-wheel chronograph movement. The mainspring of this watch has a 46-hour power reserve thanks to its bi-directional pawl winding mechanism. The model has an inbuilt EasX-CHANGE system that makes strap changeover quick and simple without the use of extra equipment.

The existing version of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team (Ref. IW388108) with a green rubber strap comes in a bundle with a black calfskin strap and will continue to be sold online. The new reference on the Miami Pink rubber strap (Ref. IW388114) comes in a bundle with the green strap and can only be purchased online on IWC.com and at the Miami boutique for a limited time.

Both watches are eligible for registration under the My IWC care program and can benefit from a 6-year extension to the regular 2-year International Limited Warranty.

For The 24 Hours Of Le Mans, Porsche Has Unveiled A New Livery

April 29, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The updated color scheme honors the 75th anniversary of the brand and the 100th anniversary of a race that Porsche Penske Motorsport has won a record 19 times overall with its three entries in the double-points round of the World Endurance Championship on June 10–11.

Along with the two entries for the entire season, the extra car entered in the French endure also commemorates Porsche’s birth anniversary by racing with the number #75.

There are 15 stripes in the livery, which flow from the nose to the back of each car.

Each shade honors an endurance racer and the colors it competed in throughout Porsche’s lengthy sports car history.

Livery at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the Porsche 963 and Porsche Penske Motorsport

While the green and blue are from the 917L Martini International “hippy car” that finished second at Le Mans in 1970, the orange pays homage to the Gulf-sponsored 917Ks driven by the JW Automotive team in 1970 and 1971.

Red and yellow stripes pay homage to the Porsche RS Spyder LMP2, which won 11 outright victories and three American Le Mans Series championships from 2006 to 2008.

The dorsal fins of the three vehicles will differ in color: the #5 will be black, the #6 will be white, and the #75 will be red.

Thomas Laudenbach, head of Porsche Motorsport, said: “I have no doubt that this design will quickly win over enthusiasts.

“At Le Mans, we embraced the car designs from Porsche’s storied and renowned heritage.

“The 917 dressed as a ‘pink pig’ and the ‘hippy car’ from 1970 are two liveries that have shaped racing history and are still in demand today.

“We’re continuing this great tradition at Le Mans with our special design on the three Porsche 963,”

The tradition of Porsche sporting unique liveries at Le Mans has persisted into the present day.

The three 919 Hybrid LMP1s entered in 2015 each raced in a distinctive color, while two of the four 911 RSRs in the GTE Pro class competed in Le Mans-themed liveries in 2018.

One was styled like the ‘pink pig’ 917/20 that competed in the 24 Hours in 1971, while the other was painted in hues reminiscent of their Rothmans-sponsored 956 and 962 Group C cars from the 1980s.

Wottan, A Spanish Motorcycle Manufacturer, Releases The Rebbe 400 In Italy

April 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Selection In The Entry-Level Market Is Expanded By The A2-Compliant Neo-Retro Roadster

400cc motorbikes are regarded as mid-sized vehicles in Europe. Young riders must first complete an A1 licence before obtaining an A2 licence since they need an A2 licence to ride. An unlimited licence follows, allowing motorcyclists to operate any motorbike with any amount of power and displacement. While such an idea would be ludicrous in the United States, it is relatively common in Europe and some regions of Asia.

Therefore, it comes as no surprise that mid-sized bikes with 400- to 500-cc engines are quite well-liked in Europe. Global manufacturers are releasing an increasing number of models into the market. For instance, the Wottan Rebbe 400, a neo-retro naked bike, is about to be on sale in Italy.

April 26, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / World News

You are a significant contributor to this $500 billion company if you are carrying a Louis Vuitton bag.

The French luxury goods behemoth LVMH Mot Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, also known as LVMH, has surpassed its US$500 billion market valuation to become the first firm in Europe. Despite rising inflation, the company’s fortune is said to have increased as a result of a boom in demand for high-end luxury goods.

Sales are strong in countries like China, but the recent success of LVMH has also been aided by the stronger euro.

Some of the most well-known luxury fashion and lifestyle brands in the world, including Bulgari, TAG Heuer, Christian Dior, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton bags, and Moet & Chandon Champagne, are created by the Paris-listed firm.

According to sources, on April 24, LVMH’s shares finished up 90 cents to EUR 902 (about USD 997), bringing the company’s market capitalization above $500 billion.

On the strength of its first-quarter revenues, LVMH earlier in April rose to become one of the top 10 largest corporations in the world. Sales growth recorded for the first quarter of 17% exceeded analyst estimates by a significant margin.

The USD 500 billion market valuation also indicates that LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault’s net wealth has increased.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his ownership interest in the business he established and still leads is now valued at over USD 212 billion.

Increasing Bernard Arnault’s Net Wealth

Thus, Arnault not only maintains his position as the richest man in the world but also pulls ahead of Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, by USD 47 billion.

The market worth of other luxury brands has increased in addition to LVMH. Hermès International, its main rival, also reported a boost in first-quarter sales of 23% at the beginning of April.

Burberry and Kering, the company that owns Balenciaga and Gucci, have both seen an increase in share prices.

Performance Upgrade Revealed For The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport

April 24, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Aerodynamic effectiveness and steady performance over long distances are prioritized in the new design.

The newest generation of the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport, outfitted with the new Evo-kit to further improve its performance on the track, has been introduced by Porsche Motorsport. The new layout prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency and consistent performance over long distances and is primarily intended for GT2 racing series, track days, and Clubsport events.

The high-performance 911 GT2 RS sports vehicle from the 991 generation is built upon, but the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport Evo-kit adds considerably optimized aerodynamics, revised 18-inch wheels, reworked shock absorbers, and better safety systems.

Porsche Motorsport intends to provide its clients with the tools necessary to continue competing at the pinnacle of the GT2 industry with the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport Evo-kit, according to Michael Dreiser, Director of Sales at Porsche Motorsport.

With a modified front splitter and a taller Gurney flap on the rear wing to improve aerodynamic balance, the new layout has undergone considerable aerodynamic revision. A redesigned apron, improved air intakes for brake cooling, and a radiator located in the middle are all features of the front section.

The front lid has also been changed to offer the proper ventilation. The revised shock absorber arrangement results in consistently quick lap times by reducing tire wear during competitions.

In order to accommodate bigger rims, which have increased in size from 10.5 to 12 inches on the front axle and from 12.5 to 13 inches at the back, the new Evo-kit also has widened front and rear fenders. The side sills were recently redesigned to make a visually seamless transition between the wheels.

In addition, wider air ports in the rear apron provide more effective ventilation of the engine compartment and back brakes, lowering the thermal load on parts, especially in high-temperature situations.

The most recent configuration stage will make its debut this weekend in Italy’s Monza as a part of the European Fanatec GT2 series, which consists of six racing weekends with two races each lasting around 50 minutes. In addition to an SRO package that includes a quick-fill fuel system and enhanced side impact cushioning, the new rain lights meet FIA specifications.

The Most Powerful And Expensive Sony Sensor Will Be Used In The iPhone 15 Pro Max

April 23, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

When it comes to the sensors utilized in its iPhone cameras, Apple is renowned for being conservative. They have never given attention to dimensions or resolution. The primary camera in the iPhone 15 Pro Max, though, could have the industry’s most cutting-edge sensor. even without dozens or even hundreds of MP.

A NEW STANDARD IN SMARTPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY, THE IPHONE 15 PRO MAX CAMERA?

Ice Universe, a well-known industry insider, reports that the sensor in issue is the Sony IMX903. It is a member of the top tier of sensors. According to the optical format of the IMX903, which is 1/1.14 inches, Apple will use a sensor that is nearly an inch in size, much like Honour did with its Magic5 Pro, which is presently second in the DxOMark rankings.

Samsung’s 200MP HP2 sensor will not perform as well as the Sony IMX903. It boasts a 20% increase in light capture, and it includes hardware compatibility for 14-bit DNG RAW. The resolution of these sensors is the sole distinction. Sony’s sensor has 48 megapixels whereas Samsung’s sensor has 200 megapixels.

Digital Insider Chat Additionally, according to Statin, the Sony IMX903 could cost more than the Sony IMX989 inch sensor. There is proof that the IMX903, although having a sensor that is smaller than an inch across, costs twice as much.

According to Ice Universe’s tweet, this alters their perception of Apple’s commitment to the camera. Insiders claim that if all goes as planned, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will develop into a superb camera phone that might eventually outperform the Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in terms of image and video quality.

It’s crucial to remember that, even while the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s camera is a vital feature, it’s not the only one that will set it apart. A strong A17 processor, 5G connection, and maybe a redesigned design are anticipated for the gadget.

Apple is also well known for emphasizing software, thus the iPhone 15 Pro Max is anticipated to include cutting-edge photography functions and editing tools to improve the user experience. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is shaping out to be a fantastic new gadget overall. It may establish a new benchmark for smartphone cameras.

PTI Reiterates Calls For An Inquiry As Audio Leaks Keep Coming

April 23, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

The PTI reiterated its requests for an inquiry into these clips on Sunday and urged the Supreme Court to take note of the leaks as audio tapes purporting to show private telephone conversations of prominent figures continue to surface.

Recently, a number of audio leaks on social media have appeared that include important members of the government and opposition, such as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, PTI Chairman Imran Khan, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, and others.

The tapes, which appeared to show casual discussions, have caused significant worries about the security of government buildings, especially the Prime Minister’s Office.

The release of audio leaks was described by PM Shehbaz as a “very serious lapse” and a high-level committee was to be established to look into the situation.

The PTI, on the other hand, has submitted a plea to the SC asking for an investigation into the audios. The former prime minister Imran Khan also requested “enforcement” of the public’s basic rights in a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Umar Ata Bandial, and other SC judges, including Article 14 of the Constitution (the fundamental right to privacy).

جب وزیر اعظم آفس اور وزیراعظم ہاؤس کی آڈیو ریلیز کی گئیں اور ہم نے سپریم کورٹ سے بارہا درخواست کی کہ دیکھیں یہ سلسلہ تباہ کن ہے اگر ملک کے وزیر اعظم کا دفتر اتنا غیر محفوظ ہے کہ وہاں ہر میٹنگ کی ریکارڈنگ ہو رہی ہے تو باقی کون محفوظ ہو گا؟ایجنسیوں کا یہ کردار کس مہذب ملک میں ہے؟
— Ch Fawad Hussain (@fawadchaudhry) April 23, 2023

An audio tape that supposedly included the wife of a PTI lawyer and the mother-in-law of a prominent SC judge first surfaced on social media earlier today. The women were heard discussing a well-known case that the supreme court is now hearing on the recordings.

A high-level committee was to be constituted to investigate what PM Shehbaz called a “very serious lapse” in the dissemination of audio leaks.

Fawad Chaudhry, a leader of the PTI and a former minister, said that his party has repeatedly pushed the SC to look into the series of leaks, describing them as “disastrous.”

We constantly asked the Supreme Court to look into this series when audio recordings from the Prime Minister’s Office and Prime Minister’s House were made public, he tweeted. “How will anyone else in the country be safe if the prime minister’s office is not secure and audios are being recorded there?”

Fawad mentioned PTI’s suit over the audio leaks and stated that even after all these months, a hearing date had not been set.

Audio leaks involving private conversations btwn private individuals shows the level of depravity, desperation & insanity the deep state & its puppet PDM regime is delving into with impunity. Time for SC to move against such audio tapping which is clearly illegal. Sick minds!
— Shireen Mazari (@ShireenMazari1) April 23, 2023

He added that “such illegal phone tapping is punishable by up to three years in prison under the fair trial law,” and that “now, judges, politicians, civil servants, and even housewives are becoming victims of this third-class thinking and no one can do anything about it.”

Shireen Mazari, a former minister for human rights, claimed that audio leaks of people’s private conversations demonstrated the “depravity, desperation, and insanity the deep state and its puppet PDM regime are delving into with impunity.”

April 23, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Pakistan has intensified efforts to assist its people stranded in the unrest-ridden African nation as fatal fighting between two opposing generals in Sudan continued. This is happening amid pleas for an Eid ceasefire.
