Mark Zuckerberg apologized to Hamza Ali Abbasi over his 'mistake'


in the past week what ever happened in Paris was tragic but the stance of facebook and its founder 
Mr.mark Zuckerberg proved out  to be an enigma.
soon after the incident  took place, a status was updated to mark Zuckerberg' s account which stated that he had solidarity with the people affected and everyone has a right for freedom of speech, indirectly criticizing the stance of Muslims.


one of the well known Pakistani artist and media personnel in reply to mark stated that  a french Muslim himself got martyred  in the incident and therefore Muslims should  not be blamed regarding Charlie Hebdo case. he clarified the misconception that Muslims are not the ones who promote terrorism in fact the word 'Islam' itself means peace. there are some false Muslims who are the acting militants and try to kill the non Muslims in the name of jihad. and hence questioning the west's stance over it.

since mark Zuckerberg himself stated it earlier that everyone has the freedom of speech. so he must be aware that criticizing one's stance is also a part of delivering your stance and therefore he should respect his views as well. Furthermore there is nothing in this post to consider it as controversial.

Later, Facebook deactivated Hamza Ali Abbasi's Facebook account and deleting this post. when asked by the other people on this matter, mark zuckerberg admitted his mistake and apologized to Hamza Ali Abbasi which was warmly welcomed by him.


But this was something which left a mark on the minds of many people and especially Muslims. why only the Muslims get affected and criticized by such incidents. 

the community needs to get more matured to see such matters in a different and appropriate manner.

Volvo aims to minimize road collisions


The Volvo Group is a Swedish multinational manufacturing company  teamed up with POC and Ericsson and have invented a new bike helmet.
A trio of Swedish firms — car manufacturer Volvo, helmet maker POC and networking outfit Ericsson — have announced a collaboration around the prevention of accidents between cars and cyclists.
the helmet helps to connect cyclists up to an app known as 'Strava', which shares their location with the Volvo cloud, so that people in Volvos can detect where they are on the road, while the car will need to be one of the newer Volvos that already use radar and cameras to detect cyclists and automatically brake when a collision occurs.
The helmet even has a built in warning light which flashes red in front of a bicyclist’s face if a car is moving or crossing their intended path.
 According to World Health Organisation (WHO) in some countries cyclists and pedestrians constitute over 75% of road deaths. Volvo’s Vice President Klas Bendrick said that the firm is “getting ever closer to eliminating the remaining blind spots between cars and cyclists”. He further  stated “nobody should die or be seriously injured in a new Volvo by the year 2020.”
Stefan Ytterborn, CEO and founder of POC said ''Our mission is to do the best we can to possibly save lives and to reduce the consequences of accidents for gravity sports athletes and cyclists. The partnership with Volvo Cars aligns very well with our mission and we are excited to see how we can contribute to cyclist safety and increase interaction between cars and cyclists alike''.
The popularity of the newly launched helmets is just increasing every moment. It seems to be an extremely useful measure inorder to elliminate road accidents and minimizing its  effects. Hopefully it will provide safety to the cyclist and in  the future this technology can be used for bikes,  cars and other vehicles as well.

Billions for Mars And Nothing for Earth !


The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has asked its federal government for 17.5 billion US Dollars as its budget for the next year because of NASA's long-running Mars rover Opportunity is going to have its memory reformatted in an attempt to resolve a series of recurring errors and its scientists believe that they are closer as ever to find life on the other planets as well. A company that has wasted more than thirty four Billion Dollars of its federal budget on such things which needs no attention nor they have any importance near most of the people. According to the stats of a survey been held in 2011 reveal that there were 46.2 million people who are the locals of united states and they are considered to be poor while its toll has been raised to 47 million at the current stage and majority of them are the residents of Georgia, Arizona and The District of Columbia. What most of the people think is that United States is a wealthy country and it surely is but it does not mean that every american is rich! Spending Billions of money on the research outside the world does makes sense when all the problems of one's country is solved especially as far as money is concerned, then why is the united states is not serious about its 47 million people whose financial statuses had just a slight improvement in the past three years. The 'Mars One' is a project according to which the people of earth will be aloof and will get settled on the Mars forever after its completion. Astronauts are looking for the presence of water so that it can be more likely for the humans to live in peace. The ones who showed interest in it says that they want a peaceful place to spend their remaining days and the earth is full of chaos. Whereas if we spend these billions for the betterment of our society or only the Americans instead of wasting it on Mars try to cover up the financial grievances of their 47 Million locals then we can surely make Earth a much better place to live

Britain vows to link blind with the modern world !



Every day new extraordinary uses for 3D printing emerge. A British company called OwnFone announced a new phone that’s quite the innovation. The company, founded on the principles of simplicity, ease, and affordability within the mobile phone market, gained notoriety back in 2012 when they introduced the first customizable handset which partially used 3D printing technology. A year later they introduced the 1st Fone, which was targeted towards children ages 9-12. The 1st Fone gave parents the ability to customize the device with buttons to call important people.


This week OwnFone introduced the next device to their personalized phone lineup. This device, simply called the OwnFone Braille is specifically created for the vision impaired, and is the very first Braille phone available to consumers. Those interested, simply can go to the OwnFone website and customize the device. Once there, the customer has the option of choosing which names and numbers they would like programmed onto the main screen of the phone. The online system automatically converts English into braille. The customer can also customize the color for the face of the phone, or even add customized pictures if they choose, for a small additional £5 fee. Once created, the phone’s front and back, including the raised braille are 3D printed with stereolithography based technology. Tom Sunderland, the founder of OwnFone decided to use 3D printing because it was the cheapest method for creating hundreds of phones, all which have a different form to them.


The technology used by OwnFone is currently patent pending. The braille phone costs just £60, and is currently available in the United Kingdom. Having said this, Sunderland has stated that they are planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign shortly, in order to make the phones available internationally. The exact date of the crowd funding campaign has not been announced as of yet.  For those who are vision impaired and can not read braille, the phone can be created with customizable raised symbols, or letters if the user wishes.

Writer's journey to Gagri, The land of peace

Gagri, A village in the heart of sindh, Pakistan is an underdeveloped reign where there is almost no social media, nor the networks, neither media. Paying a visit to such a place was the matter of covering and appreciating US Aid's work which is properly utilized on mainly the promotion of education. The illitracy is on its peak in in whole of Pakistan but the non urbanized sectors are indeed getting more devastating as the time is passing.
Well known for its production of mangoes and dates, this particular part gives an extraordinary environment of one's relaxation. Acres of spread fields covering huge trees full of material waits for you to have a perfect refreshment. The mango of its is well known all over the globe including 'Chaunsa' which Chaunsa is widely regarded as the best mango in terms of its rich aroma, sweet taste, juicy pulp and high nutritional value. For this very reason its often regarded as "King of the mangoes".
Others beside are :
'Langra'
'Dasehri'
'Sindhri'

Moreover it is also one of the biggest producers of dates, having over fifty thousand date trees. The workers mainly owe either the small farms or gardens and that is the biggest reason of no specific landlord covering a big area. around three hundred acres of land is covered where the arability exists. Although Pakistan is a terror affected area but unlike whole of the country this village surrounded by the other small villages is absolutely free of it. It doesn't have a police station because its not needed at all.
Kidnapping , kickbacks, murders and the occurrence of  henious crimes are once in a blue moon. The locals lead a simple life working for more than fifteen hours a day and enjoying the scenic beauty of such an awesome village.
