As I hunkered down in my apartment yesterday, too afraid to venture out into the rancid weather, I wondered to myself:
Who in their right mind would voluntarily live on this rock?
What motivated my thinking was that I had just seen a news story on Bobby Fischer who, in January, wrote a letter to the government asking for Icelandic citizenship as a way out of his limbo.
Mr. Fischer is currently being held in Japan, as the US tries to extradite him for violating UN sanctions by playing a chess match in then-Yugoslavia in 1992.
It’s still a toss up as to whether the Icelandic Parliament General Committee will, in all its wisdom, grant this babbling anti-Semite emergency citizenship.
Does Iceland really need more lunatics seeking out the country because it is the last great, white hope. (You should read some of our e-mails.)
For those of you who don’t know, Icelanders have a soft spot for the ranting screwball because he won a chess match here against Russian Boris Spassky in 1972. Okay, so it wasn’t just a chess match. It was, in fact, the championship of the world, a clash between two Cold War superpowers to prove which superpower was superior.
Mr. Fischer won, and then 20-odd years later the USSR collapsed. A coincidence? I think not.
So Iceland is seriously considering citizenship for Mr. Fischer, a man who believes his legal troubles are some sort of Zionist conspiracy against him. I find this odd, because it comes on the heels of this country’s new restrictive immigration laws. One such law requires DNA testing to prove familial relations. Another law places age restrictions on those seeking to obtain citizenship based on marriage.
Of course these new laws only apply to “foreigners” from non-EEA nations.
Is the government prepared to skirt these newly inacted laws in order to secure citizenship for Mr. Fischer just because he’s a champion chess player?
Why would local leaders willing entangle themselves in the internal politics of Japan and the US over a nut job who said, about the 9/11 attacks on the US, to a radio station in the Philippines:
"This is all wonderful news. I applaud the act.”
There are those who feel that Mr. Fischer is being picked on by the US, and needs someone to stand up for him. And Iceland is just the country to do that because there are more chess grand masters per capita in Iceland than anywhere else in the world.
With the wind slamming into my living room window, bending the glass back and forth, I pondered whether political limbo in Japan would not be more desirable than the rock. Okay, maybe not, because with Icelandic citizenship Mr. Fischer could then live anywhere he wanted within the EU, or at least the EEA.
He might be crazy, but he ain’t stupid.
But if Mr. Fischer did decide on Iceland as a place to stud, and create a litter of crazies, where would he reside?
Why not book him a room in the office of the Prime Minister. Mr. Fischer could wake up each morning, eat some skyrr, drink some lysi, and stare out the window, across the street at the tilted swastika that adorns the old Eimskip building. EW

No, dying is not the worst destiny imaginable.
By Father Kevin M. Cusick
In the state where I reside, the governor is requiring face masks in grocery stores. The county in which I live is cracking down on people suspected of using a trip to the grocery store to get out of the house. They are accomplishing this by assigning shopping days to groups based on first letter of one’s last name. I can now only get groceries in my county on dates ending in the 0 or 5.
Yes, evidence points to the COVID19 virus being highly transmissible. Yes, hotspots can flare up again if people start interacting and congregating too soon.
But who decides how far we go before the cure is worse than the disease?
We keep hearing from the authorities, medical professionals — not to mention do-gooders of all kinds — that this is about stopping deaths. One fact that is hard to get around is that many people die from the flu each year, but we’ve never shut down the world for the flu before.
The overbearing attempts to save people from themselves can certainly be altruistic, but where does it all end?
It reminds me of incidents in my family when we children were young and one of us did something naughty. One ploy sometimes used by my parents to wring a confession out of the guilty party was to punish all of us until one of us fessed up.

Series: Angel Creek #2
Becoming a vampire guardian was Dawn Fairchild’s ticket out of the Scarlet House. Fresh off a successful mission, life in Angel Creek should have been great. But when her sort-of-maybe-boyfriend, Sebastian, disappears on a quest to help a beautiful vampire from his past, Dawn finds herself amidst a web of danger, lies, and deceit.
Joining forces with Razor, an enigmatic rebel lacking both a verbal and a physical filter, and her band of Misfits—Brooke, Sophie, Hunter, and Seth—Dawn is thrust into a race against the clock to solve the mystery surrounding brutal Born kidnappings and come to terms with the sudden discovery of her own unique powers. With time ticking away and Born vampires’ lives in jeopardy, it quickly becomes evident that someone—or something—desperately wants Dawn and is willing to shed any amount of blood to get her.
Dawn has only one chance to face her demons and overcome all obstacles standing in her way as she embarks on the biggest mission of her life—one that threatens a deadly outcome for all involved.
| I received this book for review from the Author. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for them.|
Welcome back to Angel Creek! ReAwakened picks up shortly after the first book ReVamped ended. Dawn our feisty heroine of the series has settled into life in Angel Creek and has even managed to wrangle her group of misfit vamps into proper Guardians. Yup, life is pretty good at the moment for Dawn. Course there would be no book if everything stayed all fine and dandy and very quickly events take a turn for the worse. Now with someone hunting the Born vampires and a conspiracy to keep things hidden from the recently elected President, Dawn must fight not only to save her life but those she's come to cherish as well.
My first thoughts when I finished this book was OMG that ending!! Then I muttered a whole bunch of profanities which I don't really think you care to read about. But I'll get to the ending a bit later on.
I wasn't sure what to expect after the end of ReVamped. What direction would Dawn go in? Would she become some bad ass Vampire heroine bent on world domination or a girl unsure of her place in life after the death of her father? Would some new threat arise? Would Dawn explore exactly what it means to be a born? To my surprise ReAwakened covered all the bases. Lots of questions I had after ReVamped were answered and my fears of the series taking a turn into Twilight territory were quickly expunged.
ReAwakened was quite a bit longer than ReVamped but I hardly noticed because of how sucked in I was. There is something for everyone in this series Action, Humor, Drama, Romance, Peril and lots of twists and turns that will leave even the most jaded vampire fan wanting more.
Now I did have one small gripe about this book and that was the end. While the scene was beautifully written it was cruel to leave Dawn and us readers with such a cliffhanger! I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I was hoping for something else entirely and then wham no happy ending for you. What happens exactly? No spoilers here you'll just have to read the book and find out.
Overall this was an excellent followup that has left me wanting more. If ever a series needed to become a movie it'd be this one. The story would fit the big screen perfectly and I'm not gonna lie I wouldn't mind having a "real life" Sebastian to ogle onscreen. I am highly recommending you pick up ReAwakened and give it a go. If you haven't started the series yet then you best get on it. The Angel Creek series is just that good. In the end I will be rating ReAwakened ★★★★★. Worth a read, worth your time and definitely worthy your money.
My two-story fall was cushioned by a sturdy, muscular torso. The owner of the muscles—a vampire, I realized—groaned as I landed on top of him, forcing him into the muddy ground. I reached for my dagger, but he was quicker. He slipped out from underneath me, flipping me over in the process so that he was quickly astride me. His firm body pressed tightly against mine as his hands pinned my wrists to either side of my head. As a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree, I was greeted by a mischievous smirk dancing across perfectly-shaped full lips.
“Quite feisty, aren’t you?” he chuckled, bending forward to examine me. Deep, charcoal eyes overflowed with amusement.
He was actually enjoying this.
“I don’t wanna hurt you,” he whispered in a deep, throaty voice. “I’m gonna release you now. Don’t do anything stupid.”
He lifted his arm, removing his right hand from my left wrist. The moment I felt some freedom, I leaped forward, attempting a left hook at his jaw. He blocked my hand, once again pushing it toward the ground.
“I said I wasn’t going to hurt you!” he growled, pinning me even further into the soft, wet earth.
“But I never said that I wouldn’t hurt you!” I snapped.
He brought his face toward mine. “I’d like to see you try,” he whispered.
Now I just had to find a way out of the vampire’s tight grasp. I raised my head—the only part of me that wasn’t restrained by his body—inching my lips closer to his. He tensed for a moment, his eyes searching mine, as if surprised by my sudden change in behavior. Drops of rainwater slid down his chiseled jaw, pausing briefly on his lips before they plummeted down to mine. Then, a slow, smug smile spread across his face. I felt his body relax and he leaned even closer. His breath caressed my skin as his lips drew near.
It was exactly what I needed. Summoning all my strength, I twisted my hips to the side, shooting them up and out, then launching my legs off the ground. Thrown off-balance, my captor groaned and released one of my arms to brace for the fall, giving me the chance to free my dagger. In one smooth move I was quickly behind him, securing him in a headlock with the blade of my weapon aimed directly at his heart.
“Who are you?” I demanded when I was certain he couldn’t escape my grip.
“I’m a twenty-four-year-old Taurus who enjoys long walks on the beach.” Even though I couldn’t see his face, I could feel his arrogant grin.
“You have ten seconds to explain yourself,” I ordered. “Or I’m really going to hurt you.”
“Oh, come on! Can’t we get back to the kissing? You can’t tease a guy like that.”
“Ten, nine…” I pressed the dagger deeper into him, nicking the leather of his jacket.
“Hey! Watch it!”
“Oh, alright. You’re no fun,” he sighed. “My name is Razor.”
“What kind of a name is that?”
“It’s a nickname.”
“What kind of a nickname is that?”
“Spike, Blade, Fang—all the good, deadly objects were already taken. It was the best I could do.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I‘m simply an innocent gentleman trying to survive an attack by a crazy girl,” he teased, grinning.
“I’m going to start counting down again,” I warned.
“Okay, okay. I’ll tell you everything. But first, can you call off your pet dagger, please? I’ll be good, I promise.”
I scoffed. “Why should I trust you?”
“Because…I’m irresistibly charming?” He turned his head back to look at me. “Pretty please?” he asked, giving me another one of his teasing smirks—a trademark move that no girl refused, I figured, vowing to never be one of those girls.
“Oh, alright,” I conceded. “But if you try something, I swear I’ll use my pet dagger to cut off—”
“I said I’d behave! Though, you’re making it kinda hard to be good with all that talk of wanting to have your way with me.”
I released my grip on his neck and smacked the top of his head.
“Let’s go inside,” I ordered.

Mod 0 was designed by the Royal Armament Research and Development Corporation and patterned after the Army's Abbot 10.5 cm (4.1") howitzer. The first prototype was built in 1966 and the first service installation was on the Iranian frigate Zaal (renamed Alborz) in March 1971. HMS Bristol (Type 82) was the first British warship fitted.
Part of the original requirements set down by the Royal Navy was that the Mark 8 be able to fire 90 rounds in 7.5 minutes. Water cooling to achieve this ROF was rejected as it would have added too much weight to the mounting, so instead the metallurgy of the barrel was improved in order to withstand the heat generated.
Mod 0 was designed to be ready to fire within ten seconds from the shutdown state and has a somewhat low rate of fire in order to reduce complexity and heat build-up. The developers of this mounting reportedly considered a rapid response to be more important for defense against missiles than a rapid rate of fire.
The gun mounting itself is unmanned. It is constructed of fiberglass and was designed by Vickers. Up to sixteen ready rounds are carried vertically on an indexing feed ring.
These guns on the Type 21s proved to be less reliable than the older 4.5" (11.4 cm) Mark 6 (Mark V gun) on the Type 12 during the Falklands War, with HMS Arrow and HMS Avenger forced to cease fire on multiple occasions due to faults.
The fire control system for these guns is the BAE Systems Sea Archer 30 (GSA 8) electro-optical fire control system.
The latest 4.5" (11.4 cm) mounting, the "Electric Gun" Mark 8 Mod 1, is a boxier-looking mounting that is designed to reduce the radar cross section. RO Defence, a division of British Aerospace Systems (BAE), was awarded the contract in 1998 for the full development, production and support of this new weapon system. The Mod 1 uses electric motors for almost all functions in place of the hydraulic actuators and servos used on Mod 0 except for those motions on the elevating mass. These changes improve safety, reduce power consumption and cut the overall mounting weight by 3.7 tons (4 mt). Lower deck space requirements have also been substantially reduced. Some Mod 1 mounts will receive a special antenna as part of the Experimental Course-Corrected Shell Program.
About 25 Mark 8 Mod 1 mounts were to be ordered by 2008. The plan as of June 2005 was to refit all Type 22 Batch 3 and Type 23 frigates and two Type 42 Batch 3 destroyers - HMS York and HMS Edinburgh - plus one mount for HMS Collingwood, the Royal Navy's School of Communications and Weapon Engineering. The six units of the new Type 45 destroyers (Daring class) also use the Mod 1 gun and it was proposed that later units might use the 155 mm Naval Gun. However, both the follow on ships and the 155 mm gun were later canceled. According to a statement made in the UK House of Commons on 15 March 2005 by the Minister of State for the Armed Forces, the Rt. Hon. Adam Ingram, there are no plans to retrofit any additional Type 42 Batch 2 or Batch 3 destroyers with the Mod 1.
In August 2001 the frigates HMS Norfolk (Type 23) and HMS Cumberland (Type 22 Batch 3) were the first ships to be upgraded with the Mod 1. A comprehensive, first ship fit, harbor and sea trials program culminated in test firings by HMS Norfolk in May 2001. In October 2001 HMS Norfolk conducted a successful NGS shoot against shore targets at Cape Wrath in the North of Scotland, firing just short of 100 rounds in very rough weather. As of February 2003, six guns had been delivered to the Royal Navy and HMS Collingwood has replaced the Mod 0 mount with the Mod 1.
A planned refurbishing program to modernize the removed Mod 0 guns to a Mod 2 standard for use on other ships has been cancelled.
Both Mods of this weapon can fire the new "base bleed" High Explosive Extended Range (HE ER) round. The HE ER round increases the maximum range to 30,100 yards (27,500 m) and has been developed by BAE Systems (Royal Ordnance) Defence under a £50 million contract awarded in 1997. HMS Richmond was the first RN vessel to receive the HE ER round in April 2004.
Munitions for this weapon are also made by FI Indústria e Comércio Ltda (Brazil) and Eurometall NV (Netherlands).
All British 4.5" naval guns have an actual bore diameter of 4.45" (11.3 cm).

Kashmir issue resolution key to regional peace
By Sardar Khan Niazi
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has rightly said that there can be no durable peace in South Asia until the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is resolved based on justice and international legitimacy. He was addressing a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir on the sidelines of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York. The Contact Group comprises Azerbaijan, Niger, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye. OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha chaired the meeting with the participation of Ministers and high-level representatives from members of the Contact Group. The meeting reviewed the political and security environment and the deteriorating humanitarian and human rights situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). Participating Foreign Ministers emphasized the importance of the Jammu and Kashmir issue on the agenda of the OIC and expressed support for the Kashmiri people and their fundamental rights. The Kashmir dispute has remained unresolved primarily due to India’s refusal to implement the resolutions of the UN Security Council (UNSC). Kashmir is one of the longstanding issues on the agendas of the United Nations and its most effective arm UN Security Council over the past seven decades. The Kashmir issue was brought initially to the UN by the Indian government in early 1948, while Indian leadership accepted the multiple resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council for the resolution of the issue. Initially, the Indian government took some steps in this direction by introducing Article 370 and Section 35 in the Indian Constitution to avert global pressure and buy some time. However, the successive Indian governments did not uphold their commitments made to the global community and the Kashmiri people. Indian forces have intensified atrocities, and human rights violations, while Indian security agencies have ramped up extra-judicial killings of freedom activists to curb the ever-rising Kashmir Freedom Movement. While Pakistani leaders have expressed willingness for a constructive engagement with India and asked New Delhi to create a conducive environment for a positive dialogue but India is unwilling. Meanwhile, the OIC Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir reaffirmed its support for the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people for the realization of their inalienable right to self-determination. Besides, it rejected the illegal and unilateral actions taken by India on August 5, 2019, and subsequent steps to change the internationally recognized disputed status of the Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. One cannot forget the statement issued by the UN Secretary-General on August 8, 2019, which affirmed that, the position of ‘the United Nations on the Jammu & Kashmir region is governed by the UN Charter and applicable UN Security Council Resolutions. Condemning the Indian action to alter the demographic structure of the occupied territory it also asked to stop the issuance of fake domicile certificates to non-Kashmiris granting them voting rights, and amendments to land ownership laws. Furthermore, it termed these actions in contravention of the existing UNSC resolutions and in violation of international humanitarian law including the 4th Geneva Convention. The Contact Group members condemned as well the continued detention of the entire Hurriyat leadership, the true representatives of Kashmiri political aspirations, with most having been subjected to brutal and inhumane treatment at the hands of Indian occupation forces. Moreover, it denounced the sham trial and conviction of Yasin Malik on concocted charges, which is the most recent example of India’s attempts to punish Kashmiri leaders seeking freedom even by peaceful means. To end with, the Contact Group also denounced India’s continued refusal to allow the OIC Special Envoy, the OIC- Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission, the UN Special Mandate Holders, and international civil society organizations to visit IIOJK.
FM Bilawal reiterates Pakistan's noteable & deeprooted ties with US
NEW YORK: Foreign Minister Bilawal Zardari addressed the Council on Foreign Relations. He underlined that the devastating floods in Pakistan were a direct result of extreme weather patterns due to climate change that had cost Pakistan punitively both in terms of human and material losses. Pakistan, the eighth most vulnerable country to climate change, was already experiencing its catastrophic effects despite making a negligible contribution to the world's greenhouse gas emissions. He mentioned that early projections indicated losses of more than $30 billion USD. Unmistakably stating that climate change was a widespread and dangerous threat to humanity, the foreign minister underscored the need for global cooperation to lessen its negative effects. The extent and complexity of the flood losses in Pakistan, according to Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, were too great, and assistance from the international community was necessary to help ongoing rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts. He stressed that Pakistan required a Green Plan and climate justice more than financial aid in order to rebuild its economy and infrastructure. He emphasised the government's persistent and forceful actions in addressing this catastrophe, despite obstacles. The Foreign Minister reiterated the significance Pakistan attached to its historic and long-standing ties with the U.S. and its commitment to strengthen this bilateral relationship while expressing gratitude for the solidarity and support extended by the U.S. to those affected by the floods and to Pakistan.

PM Shehbaz urges world to combat climate change
Emphasises the flood situation in Pakistan and calls leaders to "act soon"
NEW YORK: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasised Pakistan's suffering as a result of the flooding catastrophe brought on by climate change in his address to the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Friday in New York. He urged world leaders to come together and "act now" before it’s too late. The prime minister stated at the beginning of his address that the aim of his was to describe the scale and severity of the climate crisis that has left a third of Pakistan in a position that "no one had seen in living memory." We experienced a biblical flood for 40 days and 40 nights. Huge portions of the nation are still under water today. There is a high risk of health problems for 33 million people, especially women and children. 400 children and more than 1,500 other members of my people have died. There are many more at risk. He said that Pakistan had never experienced a global warming disaster of this magnitude. "Life in Pakistan has altered drastically." The country's citizens, according to the premier, were seeking reasons for the harm done. The catastrophe has not been brought on by anything we have done, is the indisputable truth, he declared. "It is time to inquire as to why and what has to be done. Our forests are on fire. More heat waves are on the way. We experienced a huge monsoon. As the UN secretary-general put it, it was the monsoon on steroids. Less than 1% of greenhouse gas emissions are produced in Pakistan. The impact on Pakistan's health and wealth, according to the prime minister, is currently incalculable. "So the next phase of this issue is where I'm really concerned. My issue is, will we be left alone to deal with a crisis we did not cause when the cameras stop rolling and the focus just switches to conflicts like the Ukraine?
JI calls for amendment in the transgender protection act
By Staff Reporter
LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has called for amendment in the transgender protection act, saying the so-called law is attack on the norms of Pakistani society. A person, he said while addressing a press conference at Mansoorah on Friday, should not be authorized to determine sex by own. The JI, he said, had proposed amendments bill in the senate, seeking creation of medical board to determine the gender if anyone applied for change in it in Nadra. The parliament, he said, must adopt the JI proposed amendment to block the promotion of liberal agenda. He made it clear the JI fully backed the rights of the transgender community but it would resist attack on the Islamic society. He expressed concerns over reports that politicians were seeking relief in corruption cases under NAB amendment laws, saying no institution has the right to provide relief to those who looted public money. He said millions of people became homeless in floods but the nation was getting reports regarding extension of prime minister cabinet on daily basis. He said landlords and waderas had no right to enjoy official protocols and luxuries at cost of a poor nation’s money. The JI chief said the PDM government proved a nightmare for the people, breaking all records of inflation in only four months. He said the JI had postponed the protest movement against unfair taxes and increase in electricity tariff due to flood situation. The JI, he said, would resume it after the competition of rehabilitation process in flood-hit areas. To a question, he replied the JI already called for devising a mechanism through parliament for army chief appointment like the appointment of chief justice of Pakistan, ending the prime minister prerogative for COAS appointment. To another question, he said the JI wanted election reforms before the elections.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the idea of smart classrooms and technology did help in continuing the educational process sans any pause. “In the coming years, due to revolution in the IT sector, we will not have a formal need of buildings, and rather phones will be sufficient for acquiring and disseminating education. The future education will be online and there would be lab practices through virtual simulations. “We will adopt optimum world practices to ensure quality education through online and latest technology, and around 10 to 15 percent budget allocation is mandatory for each university for the distance education system, which will be increased to 50% after some time with a proper plan and consultation of all private and public universities.” Dr. Ahmed said the HEC had also launched programs related to artificial intelligence and cyber security in many universities, including the Air University, NUST, and the UET, while other universities would also get these programs soon.

Arif Alvi applauds private bank for avoiding unnecessary litigation cases
Urges national private institutions to give victims of bank fraud prompt assistance
By Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD: While disposing of five separate representations of a private bank against the decisions of the Banking Mohtasib (BM), President Dr. Arif Alvi has appreciated its policy of settling the grievances of its customers and implementing BM’s decisions, thus, saving the public’s time and expenditure, and avoiding undue litigation. Additionally, he asked the nation's private banks to comply with State Bank of Pakistan laws, offer victims of bank fraud prompt relief, and spare the time of government agencies and other venues of justice by avoiding needless litigation while also conserving their own time and resources. In five different decisions, President Dr. Arif Alvi praised Habib Bank Ltd. (HBL) for resolving issues of contested banking transactions through mutually agreed-upon settlements and compensating its clients their lost sums in accordance with its favourable pro-people banking policy. In his determinations, the President noted that because HBL had already paid the disputed amounts to its clients and the issues had been settled amicably, the statements HBL had made in opposition to BM's rulings had become infructuous. According to the information, fraud, unauthorised financial transfers, ATM errors, or online purchases of digital content caused five distinct complainants to lose money from their bank accounts ranging from Rs 32,000 to Rs 150,000. The complainants had independently sought the banks to request a return of their lost sums, but they had no luck. In order to get their money back, the complainants went to Banking Mohtasib, who instructed HBL to credit the complainants' accounts with the money they had lost.

By Staff Reporter
RAWALPINDI: Former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad said in a tweet that building a good relationship with France and sending a delegation to Israel is a question mark now.

Sh Rasheed said in his tweets on Friday that while the country's rulers are taking pleasure in their trip to America while staying in seven-star hotels, the poor in this country are not receiving flour.

Imran should refrain from long march in current situation: Ahsan
By Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal on Friday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan should avoid a long march in Islamabad in the current situation. The PTI chairman was criticised by the federal minister in a media interview for becoming "so blind" in politics. Iqbal continued to attack Imran Khan, accusing him of imprisoning political rivals when in office and now attacking the current administration's handling of the economy. Ahsan stated in response to former federal minister Sheikh Rashid that the administration is requesting the rights of a country from the western nations rather than money. Ahsan continued, "We contribute 1% to emissions because we are impacted by industrialised countries' carbon emissions." In New York, the prime minister Shehbaz Sharif, he said, is awakening everyone's conscience. Ahsan asserted that the opposition was engaging in divisive politics in the midst of the floods and that more than 1,600 people had perished as a result of the flooding. He also advised the opposition to remain silent while attempting to stop relief from reaching the flood victims if they couldn't help the victims. The federal minister claimed that the PTI's administration cost the nation $50 billion, and he (Imran) left behind a debt and deficit burden. Ahsan Iqbal claimed that the PTI chairman had made flood-related activities "contentious," adding that the country is watching to see who is doing politics and who is aiding the victims. He added that Imran and other PTI members do not understand what it truly means to be human.

Nawaz Sharif wants to exonerated in NAB case under new laws
By Our Correspondent
LAHORE: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Friday filed a petition in an accountability court in Lahore challenging the court decision to declare him proclaimed offender in the plot allotment case and seeking his acquittal. The former prime minister, who is currently residing in the UK for medical reasons, has asked the court for relief under the NAB (Amendment) Ordinance, 2022. Additionally, Nawaz Sharif's attorney, Qazi Sabah Advocate, begged the court to clear him of all charges related to the revised NAB Ordinance. The attorney also submitted a petition asking for Nawaz to be exonerated. The National Accountability Bureau could not open an inquiry into a case of corruption totaling less than Rs500 million, according to Qazi Sabah's argument, although his client was facing a reference in which he was accused of committing corruption to the tune of Rs130 million. He stated that when Nawaz was declared a "offender," the court ordered that his property be seized. In addition to requesting the return of his confiscated property and an order for his acquittal in the reference, he pleaded with the court to drop the prosecution against the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader.

AJK govt will be unable to pay employees' salaries and pensions next month: PM
By Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan has said that at present the AJK government does not have enough money to pay salary and pension to employees next month. Speaking at a dinner he hosted in honour of senior journalists from various parts of the nation, he emphasised the financial difficulties his government was experiencing. He described the federal government's refusal to release cash as an effort to force his government to the breaking point. He claimed that the government was on the verge of a severe financial crisis. He regretted that the PML-emergence N's as the administration in the Centre was causing issues for the PTI government in AJK. The federal government should work with the AJK government for the country's progress, he continued, adding that politics should be put aside. Tanveer Ilyas claimed that the PML-N previous government in the Punjab had shut down 203 companies in his home city of Mirpur. In his view, Imran Khan never caused problems for the AJK government while the PML-N was in control in the region and at the federal level. He claimed that Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister, had not yet been able to travel to Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
The smouldering situation in IOK is focus of Kashmiri delegation's urgent request to OIC-IPHRC
GENEVA: Kashmiri delegation headed by senior All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader Altaf Hussain Wani while briefing the members of the OIC-IPHRC about the fast deteriorating political and human rights situation in Kashmir has sought the Commission’s urgent intervention to help-stop bloodshed and human rights violations in the region. The Kashmiri delegation, which is currently in Geneva for the 51st session of the UNHRC, urged the Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to include all stakeholders in order to hold the Indian government accountable for the actions it had taken on Kashmir unilaterally. The delegates stated that the OIC IPHRC should exert pressure on India during the upcoming UPR meeting to uphold its commitments regarding the improvement of the human rights situation in the UN-recognized disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir, repeal all draconian laws, and revoke all actions it had taken on Kashmir since August 5, 2019. In order to draw attention to the Indian government's oppressive practises, the delegation informed the IPHRC members that in addition to oppressive and repressive policies, the apartheid regime in India has been using strategies from the colonial era to quell political dissent and disempower the indigenous population through political and administrative manoeuvres. Referring to the Indian government's anti-Kashmir policies, they claimed that the BJP's settler colonialism project, which aims to alter the demographic makeup of the state, has been largely driven by policies like land grab, dispossessions, forced evictions, illegal confiscation of civilians' property, and granting voting rights to non-Kashmiris. They said that the Indian government has passed a number of rules that not only let foreigners to stay in the area but also to buy land and request other privileges in order to bring about a demographic shift in the valley. The Kashmiri delegation commented on the crackdown on peaceful protest in the area, claiming that there is no room for democratic opposition there because of the merciless suppression of dissent by the Indian government. They added that the use and misuse of laws had resulted in the widespread detention of political and human rights activists. "Restrictions on civil rights advocates, confiscation of property, harassment and humiliation of civilians by the military forces have become a new norm," they stated. Regarding the abuse of "anti-terrorism laws," the delegation drew attention to the ways in which the Indian government has used the PSA and UAPA to stifle legitimate political debate and the voices of anyone who has criticised India's unfriendly treatment of Kashmiris. They claimed that the arrest of well-known human rights activist Khurum Parvez and high-ranking political figures served as a wake-up call to the rest of the world about how India was utilising secret laws to keep Kashmir's people silent. The Kashmiri delegation was given the assurance that the OIC-IPHRC, which is made up of Dr. Hac Ali Açkgül, Mahmoud Mostafa Afifi, Fahad bin Abdullah Al Ajlan, and Dr. Saqlain, will utilise its diplomatic influence to draw attention to the appalling situation in Kashmir.
KARACHI: Consul General of Oman, NDMA representatives welcoming Oman's third flight at Airport.


The Question is:
I heard that the VMS cluster connection manager uses the concept of votes and
quorum to prevent disk and memory data corruptions.
Can it be explained what is meant by data and memory corruptions and how it is
prevented by the concept of quorum. It will be good if this is explained with
an example which will help to understand the unique feature of vms exactly and
It is agreed that this concept will prevent cluster partitioning. It will
prevent data integrity, it is little bit hard to understand.
I hope my question is understandable and will be given convincing answer.
With Regards ...
The Answer is :
The particular corruption here is attributed to the obvious potential
for uncoordinated write access to shared storage resources -- should
a cluster become partitioned (without the quorum scheme, or due to an
incorrectly configured cluster), multiple nodes can write to the same
to the same blocks for differing purposes. This causes corruptions.
Please see the OpenVMS Cluster documentation included in the OpenVMS
manual set, and the OpenVMS FAQ for additional details on the OpenVMS
Cluster configuration, setup, and quorum scheme.

Heart disease doesn't affect all women in the same way and neither does it have the same warning signs as heart diseases in men. For women, heart disease is a bigger threat than breast cancer. Cardiovascular diseases also kill more women than men as the disease progresses differently in men and women. Here are a few things you should know about heart diseases.
Women have more atypical symptoms of heart attacks: The classic symptoms of heart attacks are pain in the left arm, chest pain and heart palpitations. Though women may exhibit these symptoms, they are more likely to have atypical symptoms. These include nausea, stomach aches, pain in the shoulders and upper back and extreme fatigue.
Preeclampsia and gestational diabetes can increase risks of heart disease: Even though your blood pressure may go back to normal and conditions like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes may go away post pregnancy, their effects linger on. The risk of heart disease for a woman who suffered from preeclampsia doubles while gestational diabetes can cause glucose intolerance leading to obesity or other such conditions which are risk factors for heart diseases.
Hot flashes could be a sign of heart problems: Hot flashes are usually associated with menopause but may also be a symptom of underlying heart problems. Hot flashes that occur after a exerting a strenuous effort on something can be a sign of angina in women.
Men and women do not face equal risks: Traditional risks to heart diseases such as cholesterol, obesity and high blood pressure affect both men and women but some factors such as diabetes, stress, depression and smoking affect women more than they affect men. Since women tend to lead a more sedentary lifestyle than men, a lack of exercise also affects them more than it affects men. In addition, a low level of estrogen can also increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions. This is usually seen after menopause.
Metabolic syndrome increase your risk of getting a stroke:
There are five metabolic risk factors for heart disease. If you have 3 or more of them, it is termed as metabolic syndrome. These risk factors are:
- A waist circumference of more than 35". This is also called abdominal obesity
- A triglyceride level higher than 150 mg/dL
- A low level of good cholesterol i.e. HDL cholesterol that is less than 50mg/dL
- High blood pressure
- High blood sugar. This could also be a sign of diabetes.
While some factors like genetics are out of our control, most of these factors can be controlled by conscious lifestyle changes. Your doctor may also prescribe medication for the same. Heart disease can occur at any time so do not take your heart for granted.

Painful menstruation or menstrual cramp is termed as Dysmenorrhoea and refers to the discomfort or pain associated with menstruation. In 80% cases, cramps are an integral part of the preliminary dysmenorrhoea syndrome. Though this symptom is not deemed as a very serious clinical problem, the pain and its associated symptoms are acute enough to keep an affected woman from normal functioning for the first one or two days. These symptoms may take over one or two days prior to menses, reach their pinnacle on the first day and subside slowly with the passage of time. The pain can be typically depicted as being ached, cramping of the stomach and often reaching to the lower back portion.
There is probably no woman across the world, who has not undergone the painful menstrual cramps. But don't fret! Homeopathy treatment has a range of remedies to relieve you off this unease.
- Cimicifuga: Normally menstruation cramps indicate a pain that flows across the pelvic region from one side to the other. This remedy will particularly be helpful in neuralgic and rheumatic cases as well as congestive cases where it works effectively with Veratrum Viride and Belladonna. It is also very efficient in combating headaches preceding menses, acute pains across abdomen, labor like pains and scanty flow.
- Caulophyllum: This remedy is great for treating spasms and pain that flow downwards. The spasmodic periodic pains that need to be treated with Caulophyllum are mostly concentrated around the groin and radiate to other surrounding parts. Gelsemium can also be taken for treating neuralgic as well as congestive dysmenorrhoea when the pain bears down. The pains are often labor-like and spasmodic with flow of pale urine. In order to get faster relief, it can be taken along with hot bag press.
- Belladonna: If you are afflicted with the congestive forms of menstrual cramps, then you may take Belladonna. In most cases, a pain and discomfort is felt prior to the flow and a feeling of something heavy around the vulva can be relieved if you sit up straight. This pain occurs and subsides all of a sudden making the flow clotted and restricted. This kind of dysmenorrhoea is extremely painful and makes the genital dry. In case the pain gets severe and cuts through the pelvis, then Veratrum viride can also be administered.
- Zanthoxylum: This remedy is very effective in fighting dysmenorrhoea and uterine spasms. It is very effective when the pain is burning, agonising and extending down through the thighs making the limbs paralysed and numb. You can take this measure when the pain is affecting your ovaries as this medicine works closely for neuralgic form of menstrual cramps. Women with delicate nervous temperament can also take this remedy as it relieves from headache and eye pain caused from Menstruation.
Homeopathy has a huge range of medicines and it becomes difficult for a commoner to select an ideal one. Therefore, when you are deeply affected with menstrual cramps, you can always consult an expert before administering any medicine.
