ZEE5 Global announces first of it’s kind Original desi noir series QatilHaseenaonKeNaam

Posted on by admin

~Featuring an ensemble cast, the show marks the first collaboration between Zindagi and British-Indian director Meenu Gaur ~

Lahore (Muhammad Yasir) Women have often been celebrated for being an epitome of patience, sacrifice, endurance and more. ZEE5 Global, the world’s largest streaming platform for South Asian content, and Zindagi are soon set to break this stereotype and unearth their unapologetic side in the upcoming original QatilHaseenaonKeNaam.  A desi noir anthology, QatilHaseenaonKeNaam is helmed by critically acclaimed British Indian director Meenu Gaur. The series features an eclectic cast comprising of leading actors from the subcontinent including Ahsan Khan, Osman Khalid Butt, SheheryarMunawar, SaleemMairaj, SamiyaMumtaz, Sanam Saeed, Sarwat Gilani, MeharBano, FaizaGillani, BeoRaana Zafar andEmanSuleman.

Written by FarjadNabi and Meenu Gaur, QatilHaseenaonKeNaam is set in the timeless lanes of AndroonSheher – a mythical neighborhood, and showcases stories of love, lust, power, and redemption woven in a web of betrayal, angst, and revenge. Each story from the anthology depicts the fearlessness of women and their determination to avenge deceit. At the core of the stories is mystery, suspense, intrigue with twist endings.

Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 Global, said, “After the success of the genre-bending Originals Churails and Dhoop Ki Deewar with Zindagi, we’re thrilled to bring a brilliant anthology under QatilHaseenaonKeNaam. As the foremost platform for South Asian content, we cherrypick stories from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh that will not only entertain audiences but also engage them at a deeper level. QatilHaseenaonKeNaam is one of those stories that’s not just about breaking stereotypes, but also creating new and powerful women characters who will be celebrated for their personalities.”

Talking about the series, ShailjaKejriwal, Chief Content Officer – Special Projects, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, says, “QatilHaseenaonKeNaam challenges the stereotypical portrayal of women who are often perceived as victims. Each story in the anthology showcases courageous, bold women who decide to take charge of things when their limits are pushed. These women are fatal to patriarchy and go several extra miles to seek what they want at any cost.”

Creator and Director Meenu Gaur says, “This idea for the show was like an outpouring for me and it’s no surprise that the stories here are about all that which surges within us as women – love, passion, ambition, conviction, rage, revenge, and revolution. With the dominance of a male-centric gaze especially in the noir genre, I was keen to explore a new interpretation, one which is told from the perspective of the much-maligned femme fatale (qatilhaseena) characters. It is an attempt to correct the sexism of film noir and try our hands at feminist noir.”

Co-writer FarjadNabi says, “QatilHaseenaonKeNaam waves goodbye to the victim woman as seven fatales get their way through methods that are unexpected, sometimes horrifying, but always liberating. I am glad this show will be premiering on the Zee5 platform that focuses on bringing diverse and significant stories for the global audience.”

QatilHaseenaonKeNaam is a compilation of six stories of seven women who wrestle back control and redefine the word femme fatale.

Users can download the ZEE5 app from Google Play Store / iOS App Store, on Roku devices, Apple TVs, Android TVs, and Amazon Fire Stick. ZEE5 is also available on www.ZEE5.com.

HUAWEI nova 9 is the Trendy Flagship and Camera King smartphone we have been waiting for!

Posted on by admin

Five reasons why the new HUAWEI nova 9 is the Trendy Flagship and Camera King smartphone we have been waiting for!

It has a gorgeous design, a 50MP Ultra Vision Main Camera, cool front camera vlog features, HUAWEI SuperCharge and Super Device Features

Huawei announced the launch of the Trendy Flagship and Camera King – the HUAWEI nova 9 during a regional Middle East and Africa launch event that was held in Dubai. The newest stylish iteration to the popular HUAWEI nova Series comes with a stunning design highlighted by a unique Colour No. 9, a staggering 50MP Ultra Vision Camera, 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge and a host of Super Device and EMUI 12 cool features, which make it the hottest tech gadget to get right now. 

Here are five reasons why we love it!

  • An outstanding stylish design

The HUAWEI nova 9 comes in an exciting colourway with a cool brand-new name: Colour No. 9. This colour is a mix of low-saturation blue and purple hues meticulously blends with the glittering particles to form a dreamy colour spectrum that gives off a hint of mysteriousness. Under different lighting, the colour finish reflects vivid and colourful patterns. It sports a 6.57-inch curved display that can render 1.07 billion colours, and supports up to 120Hz display refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate and the P3 colour gamut to produce smoother and more immersive visuals that are brimming with details. Thanks to its 7.77mm Ultra-Thin Design and its weight of about 175g making it fit comfortably in your hands. The more powerful camera hardware has a simple design that is similar to the old look, but comes with a “nova” ring emblem that highlights the Star Orbit Ring, which makes it even more recognisable and eye-catching.

  • A 50MP staggering Ultra Vision Camera Setup

The rear camera system features a 50MP ultra vision camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, a macro camera[1] and a depth camera. It includes a large 1/1.56-inch sensor and a RYYB CFA with high light sensitivity, collecting 40 percent more light compared to a standard RGGB sensor.[2] This allows users to capture exquisite photos and videos even in low light conditions, ensuring that the bright parts of the image are not overexposed while the dark areas are clear and packed with detail.

Once the camera hardware captures an image, the XD Fusion Engine gets to work, using sophisticated computational photography techniques to greatly enhance image detail and quality.

  • Cool Front Camera Vlogging Features!

As for selfies and vlogging needs, the HUAWEI nova 9 has a 32MP selfie camera that is capable of recording selfie videos in 4K clarity. With the HUAWEI nova 9 you can easily switch between front and rear cameras continuously whilst recording to produce a single video featuring both footage in one go. Alternatively, you can use Dual-View Video to show both front and rear perspectives simultaneously, or to put a zoomed shot and wide shot together, both taken on the rear camera, in one frame. Again, this switching[3] of camera occurs seamlessly, allowing you to create unique videos by just pressing the record button. With the Petal Clip app, users can easily choose from a variety of video templates and themes before posting their vlogs or other videos to social media in no time. Moreover, complicated editing processes have been streamlined thanks to Video Search and One-Click Video Creation.

  • Lightning-fast charging for more fun with 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge

The HUAWEI nova 9 has a long lasting 4300mAh[4] battery, which is supported by the 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge[5]. It only takes 15 minutes to charge to 53%, and 38 minutes to fully charge[6]. When it takes as long as your morning routine or a meal’s worth of time to take it up to full, you will never have to worry about forgetting to charge your phone overnight again!

  • Super Device and EMUI 12 futuristic features

Running on EMUI 12, HUAWEI nova 9 provides smooth and fast control response. Whether for checking emails, studying, remote communication, gaming, or just entertainment: the new smartphone offers a brand-new, all-scenario interaction which is straightforward, fast, smooth, and reliable.

With the HUAWEI nova 9, controlling multiple devices at once is as easy as controlling just one single device, thanks to the Super Device features. The Device+ tab in Control Panel enables users to easily control or set up multi-device collaboration with other devices, such as the HUAWEI Vision, FreeBuds, MatePad and MateBook[7]. For example, users can tap on the HUAWEI MatePad icon to activate Smartphone-Tablet Multi-screen Collaboration; tap the HUAWEI MateBook icon for Smartphone-PC Multi-screen Collaboration or tap the HUAWEI FreeBuds icon to seamlessly switch their audio output to their Huawei earbuds.

With the Distributed File System, HUAWEI nova 9 can also function as a wirelessly connected external storage unit for the PC[8], meaning you can access the files you want more easily than ever before.

Using the HUAWEI nova 9, users can also transfer MeeTime calls onto HUAWEI Vision[9] smart TV and conduct the call by taking advantage of the larger display, camera and speakers. Users may also conveniently share their screen during a video and even mark key places, to bring important insights directly into view. Lastly, offering a smart and seamless experience to users, the trusted, innovative and secure AppGallery comes pre-installed on the HUAWEI nova 9, where users can search for, and download a wide range of high-quality apps.

“PTA and Huawei jointly working towards digitalization of Pakistan “President Dr. Arif Alvi

Posted on by admin

Lahore (Muhammad Yasir) President Dr Arif Alvi on Wednesday said Pakistan’s progress was linked with extensive digitalization of all sectors, particularly education and health, and stressed fast decision-making in this regard to match the global advancements in information technology (IT).

“Pakistan needs a paradigm shift in IT sector with an ability to process and analyze more data and devising the policies as per contemporary needs,” the president said, in his address here at the National Broadband Network Forum.

The forum themed ‘Broadband for all’ was jointly organized by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Huawei Technologies Pakistan, which brought together local and foreign stakeholders for an insight into transformative technologies and viable solutions to challenges.

President Alvi said Pakistan was heading in the right direction to improve its digital footprint and ensure access of its citizens to the ‘information highway’ and communication services.

However, he said, had the decision on expanding broadband infrastructure taken a decade earlier, the country would have witnessed a revolution in the IT sector.

“The technology is running ahead of us and we need to take hold of it by adopting a proactive and marketable approach,” he said, adding that China was an inspiring model in making strides in the technology sector.

He said digitalization of financial and banking systems would not only improve the response time but also ensure transparency in transactions.

The president said pandemic had increased manifold the importance of access to broadband services, particularly in areas of education and health.

He said online learning was still the cheapest source of knowledge, adding that he was in touch with universities to encourage distant education along with the traditional brick-n-mortar setups to increase the number of graduates.

He expressed satisfaction that fifty percent of the country’s population had access to cellular services.

The president appreciated the contribution of PTA and Huawei Technologies Pakistan on organizing the initiative, hoping that it would help promote constructive dialogue on increasing broadband proliferation, leading to accelerated fiberization and launch of 5G services in Pakistan, and Huawei’s security safety technology can support to build a more safety network.

Secretary Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication Muhammad Sohail Rajput said without an effective broadband infrastructure, the dream of a digital Pakistan would be difficult to materialize.

He said the government was focusing on the incentivization of private sector to enhance broadband capacity and thus contribute to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth.

President and Group CEO Pakistan Telecommunication Limited (PTCL) and Ufone, Hatem Bamatraf said broadband internet had a great impact on the digital economy and provided an opportunity to overcome business challenges complemented by cellular communication. 

Pakistan’s IT sector, he said, had immense potential of growth in areas of broadband, cloud computing, and analytics management.

He emphasized ‘digital deepening’ in the country driven by an economic approach.

Chairman PTA Maj Gen (retd) Amir Azeem Bajwa said the forum was a step towards deliberating upon augmentation of broadband infrastructure, data analytics, spectrum management, and emerging technologies.

He said Pakistan had achieved international accolades in the IT sector with 107 million broadband subscriptions and 186 million cellular services subscribers.

He mentioned the 52 percent increase in broadband data usage during 2020, while in 2021, the country’s fixed broadband penetration was recorded at 1.6 percent, with 2.9 million fixed broadband subscribers and Fiberization Density Index at 0.56 km/1000 inhabitants.

He lauded the support of CEO Huawei Technologies Pakistan, Mark Meng in accelerating Pakistan’s journey towards a digital economy.

NEW REPORT: lack of skills holds back digital learning, affecting both students and teachers

Posted on by admin
While 68% of teachers rate poor access to the internet or a device as the biggest barrier to digital learning, 56% said it was also because of a lack of digital skills among parents, teachers, and learners

Lahore (Muhammad Yasir)  Oxford University Press (OUP), the world’s largest university press, has today published a new global report exploring the digital divide in education, following the shift to digital learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The report, Addressing the Deepening Digital Divide, captures the views of 1,557 school and English language teachers from 92 countries—including Pakistan—on the digital divide, including the barriers to effective teaching and learning, and the impact of the divide on learners’ development. Based on the insights gathered, the report puts forward recommendations for policymakers and educators to future-proof the education system and narrow a divide that unfairly disadvantages millions of learners all over the world.  

Key findings from report include:

•    Limited digital skills are nearly as great a problem as access to technology: poor digital access (i.e. physical access to the internet or a device) was the biggest barrier to digital learning, cited by 68 per cent of teachers as a problem. A lack of digital competency ranked a close second, with 56 per cent of respondents reporting that teachers and learners alike lacked the skills to make digital learning a success.

•    Engaging students in online lessons was a bigger challenge than costs, education funding, or digital infrastructure: teachers felt their greatest challenge during the pandemic was engaging students in online lessons—a difficulty reported by six in ten teachers (61 per cent).

•    Disadvantaged students have been significantly affected by the shift to digital learning: 70 per cent of teachers said the most disadvantaged students lost learning due to limited or no access to digital devices. 44 per cent of respondents felt that the wellbeing of disadvantaged students had been particularly negatively affected during the pandemic. 

•    Teachers want parents to play a bigger role in their child’s digital learning: half of the teachers surveyed (50 per cent) said a lack of parental understanding of digital tools/platforms limited the effectiveness of support available to their children; and 58 per cent said disadvantaged students tended to receive less educational support from their parents and families. 

OUP has made the following recommendations to address the deepening digital divide:

•    A greater focus on independent learning: students who take an active role in their learning will be more engaged in their education, leading to better outcomes. Independent learning gives students valuable screen-free time and removes some of the pressures disadvantaged students feel to be online for a full day when struggling with poor internet connection, limited access to a device, or high data costs.

•    Build digital competency skills among educators, students, and parents: OUP’s report reveals that a lack of digital competency among teachers, students and their parents is holding back digital learning to a worrying degree. A move from sporadic ‘upskilling’ to ‘always-skilling’, in which teachers have regular training touchpoints, will ensure that digital knowledge does not become outdated.

•    Target resources to address both ends of the digital divide: the report urges governments around the world to prioritize investments that support affordable access to reliable internet connections and devices. Governments should actively collaborate with teachers and students and use their recent experiences to inform future policy and curriculum development: with a focus on free resources to address the skills gap, and on wellbeing and mental health.

Nigel Portwood, CEO of Oxford University Press said: ‘The world of education continues to undergo significant digital transformation, and yet so many learners are being left behind because of the digital divide. And as our research shows, it isn’t just about ensuring people have access to the relevant devices, or improving connectivity; unless we fill skills gaps and make sure teachers, learners, and parents know how to use digital tools effectively, the digital divide will only continue to grow.’

Adding to this, Fathima Dada, Managing Director of OUP’s Education Division, said: ‘It is imperative that governments and policy experts come together on a global scale to address the issues identified in our report. We know where the problems lie, and we now need a forward-looking approach to fix them. We owe it to students to ensure that digital learning is fit for purpose, not just in times of crisis, but as we start to look ahead to the future of learning.’.

T20 World Cup: Aggressive England to tackle formidable New Zealand in first semi-final today

Posted on by Ali Qasim

Lahore (NUT-DESK)

England and New Zealand will clash with each other today (Wednesday) in the first semi-final of the ICC T20 World Cup, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

Eoin Morgan’s England will head into today’s Twenty20 World Cup clash as favourites against New Zealand, two years after both sides clashed in a dramatic 50-over final.

England have lost opening batsman Jason Roy and pace bowler Tymal Mills but they sealed a final-four place with four wins in five Super 12 games.

Roy collapsed on the pitch with a calf injury in England’s final group match that they lost to South Africa and was later ruled out of the tournament and replaced by James Vince.

England’s aggressive brand of cricket got them past West Indies, Bangladesh, Australia and Sri Lanka with clinical ease to finish as group leaders ahead of the Aussies.

But the Kiwis are no pushovers and who better than England to appreciate the Black Caps’ worth after they needed a super over to edge out Kane Williamson’s side when the 2019 ODI World Cup final finished in a tie.

“If England and New Zealand provide a fraction of the drama they did on a glorious afternoon at Lord’s in July 2019, then the T20 World Cup might get the spark it desperately craves this week,” former England captain Mike Atherton wrote in The Times.

New Zealand matched England’s 241 courtesy of Ben Stokes’ unbeaten 84 at the end of 50 overs and then their 15 in the super over before England were declared winners on boundary count.

England have reached the final four of the T20 World Cup without star performers Stokes and Jofra Archer and Roy’s departure adds to their woes ahead of today’s game in Abu Dhabi.
