Xiaomi today announced the launch of the all-new flagship Xiaomi 12 Series for local markets, featuring two groundbreaking devices: Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12. Designed to empower users around the world with a cutting-edge videography studio and entertainment powerhouse, Xiaomi 12 Series delivers impressive advancements in Xiaomi’s AI algorithm, flagship processing power, and an all-round elevated experience.

Xiaomi 12 Series enables users to record studio-quality shots no matter the scenario, be it challenging lighting conditions or moving objects. Both phones boast a pro-grade triple camera array for versatile shooting, starring a massive 50MP main wide angle camera, with 8K recording capabilities on both Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12.  Xiaomi 12 Pro stands out with its state-of-the-art triple 50MP array, which features a cutting-edge Sony IMX707 ultra-large main sensor. This sensor is capable of catching large amounts of light and empowers advanced imaging capabilities with faster focus speeds and increased color accuracy.

Beyond impressive hardware, Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12 also advance Xiaomi’s proprietary AI algorithms.

Xiaomi ProFocus intelligently identifies and tracks objects, preventing blurring or out-of-focus shots of moving or veiled subjects. These advancements also include eye and face auto focus capabilities. Ultra Night Video uses Xiaomi’s proprietary algorithms to record video even under extreme low-light, meaning moody, atmospheric shots are clearer than ever.

Xiaomi 12 delivers Xiaomi’s most colorful smartphone display to date, with more than 68 billion colors on 6.28-inch full-HD+ displays. Both feature 120Hz AdaptiveSync, for an impressively high-definition, vibrant, and flicker-free display that conveys every detail.

vivo V23 5G — The Best in Camera, Technology, Performance and Appearance

Due to the constant development in the technology space for smartphones, there is always hype surrounding any new ‘firsts’ in the market. There is always excitement as to what will be introduced and how well it will be accepted by the audience. 

Keeping this in mind, Vivo’s latest smartphone vivo V23 5G finds itself in a similar situation. The day it was announced, it received a lot of attention for its color-changing design. The design itself represents a significant advancement in smartphone research and design. Making smartphones not only technologically superior but also cosmetically superior is a step forward.

The continual excitement and experience since the smartphone’s launch has not only solidified its market position but also demonstrated that it is a well-balanced phone that isn’t only focused on aesthetics.

Delving more into the device, the vivo V23 5G dons a high-resolution 50MP AF Portrait Selfie camera on the front. This device focuses heavily on the selfie experience which makes it stand out in the market. The latest ISOCELL 3.0 technology helps the camera increase light sensitivity to capture a more crystal-clear picture for the user. Furthermore, the Eye Autofocus feature enables the users to be the center of attention while clicking the picture as the camera focuses on the user, even if they are in motion. 

The dual front camera system offers a much larger field of view with the help of its 8MP Super Wide-Angle Camera. Furthermore, with modes like the AI Extreme Night Portrait mode, the front camera delivers an unparalleled experience in this price range. The phone also sports a 64 MP main rear camera with an 8MP wide-angle lens and a 2MP Macro that can handle wide natural landscapes very easily. The user experience is further increased with features like the Super Night Mode, Bokeh Flare Portrait, and Ultra Stabilization. It is only right to say that both, the front camera and the rear camera together offer a device that is picture-perfect. 

When it comes to the visual and performance aspects of this phone, there’s no doubt that it’s the best of what vivo has to offer. vivo has always been on the cutting edge of device design and aesthetics. It’s also fair to say that Vivo takes pride in its technological advancements and innovations. Every device that vivo introduces exemplifies this completion.

V23 5G brings out the result of Vivo’s extensive research which is the Color Changing Fluorite AG Design. This material changes its color upon exposure to ultraviolet light and after about 30 seconds under the sun. This switch goes back to normal once the phone is out of sun exposure. Talking more about the appearance of the device, it is the combination of the Metal Flat Frame Design and the Color Changing Fluorite AG Design that gives the device the aesthetic appeal that has been the talk in the industry for a while now. 

All these powerful features that the phone flaunts are powered by the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor. This processor offers powerful performance and a fast user experience. The Extended RAM 2.0 further enhances the user experience with its versatile features to expand RAM when required. The 90Hz refresh rate display, a Liquid Cooling System, and Ultra Game Mode make it possible for users to enjoy super smooth gameplay performance. This experience is mutually assisted by the 4200mAh battery that features a 44W FlashCharge that helps in interrupted experience and performance. 

To summarise it all, the vivo V23 5G is a proud and well-balanced device that fulfills the requirements of every smartphone enthusiast whether it is for work, casual, or professional usage.

Illegal Timber Seized in Murree as Police and Forestry Department Face Armed Resistance

Murree – In a high-stakes joint operation, the Forestry Department, Punjab Police, and district administration successfully seized a significant quantity of illegally harvested timber in the Bhimala Samli area of Murree. However, the raid was met with violent resistance, including gunfire, from members of the timber mafia.

According to official reports, the smugglers were using camels to transport the illegally felled timber from the forest to a private residence, where it was being stored for further distribution. Acting on a tip-off, authorities launched a targeted raid on the location.

As officials moved in, the timber mafia fiercely resisted the operation, attempting to obstruct law enforcement and opening fire on the raiding team. Despite the dangerous standoff, security forces stood their ground and managed to secure the illegal timber stockpile.

An FIR (First Information Report) No. 31/25 has been filed against the culprits, and a full-scale investigation is now underway. Authorities have pledged to crack down on illegal logging operations and ensure that those responsible for forest destruction and endangering law enforcement face the full force of the law.

This operation highlights the ongoing struggle against deforestation and illegal timber trade in the region, with officials urging the public to report any suspicious activities related to environmental crimes.

    Big Bang Entry By Atif Aslam In 2016 Coming Soon

    Big Bang Entry By Atif Aslam In 2016 Coming Soon

    Atif was born into a Muslim family in Wazirabad, Pakistan. He began his education in kindergarten at Kimberley Hall School,Lahore. In 1991 he moved to Rawalpindi where he continued his studies in St. Paul’s Cambridge School, Satellite Town, Rawalpindi. Atif returned to Lahore in 1995 where he continued his studies in Divisional Public School, Lahore. He continued onwards to his FSC in Punjab College where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree. He married his long-time girlfriend, educationist Sara Bharwana, in Lahore on 30 March 2013.

    2

    Life and career

    Atif attended high School at PAF College, Lahore, where he played Cricket and became interested in music.He attended Punjab Institute of Computer Science (PICS) to do his Bachelors in Computer Science (BCs). It was at PICS, Lahore that he met guitarist and talented young composer, Goher Mumtaz. This led to performances at their college and at various restaurants eventually pushing the pair into finding a name for their subtly formed band, which they named “Jal” – which means water.9

    Working together, the pair recorded the song Aadat (with the help of Salman Albert, amongst other established and accomplished Pakistani musicians). It became popular on a host of promotional Pakistani music websites. The music video for Aadat was shot one day in a warehouse in Karachi. On the basis of the popularity of this song, “Jal” began their tour of Pakistan. However, while on tour, personal problems between Atif and Goher led to a verbal bust-up resulting in an unannounced and indefinite hiatus, during which Atif launched his solo career. Goher continued under the band’s name “Jal”.

    4
    Atif Aslam is coming up with something big.

    Atif Aslam, after leaving Jal, released a new solo album, Jal Pari (meaning “Mermaid”) which was a big hit. The songs Woh Lamhey, Dil Haarey and few others were hits on both Pakistani radio stations and music channels. Since Jal’s album, “Aadat”, and Atif’s album, Jal Pari, shared certain tracks (such as “Aadat”, “Bheegi Yaadein”, “Ankhon se”) an unofficial war over rights began which resulted in both sides claiming to possess hard proof to support their respective claims (that, they alone owned the concerned songs). The hype this feud gave to both Atif and the new Jal was extraordinary and split the musical nation with the fans of each side backing their respective favourite.2

    While the drama of lyrics & composition ownership continued in Pakistan, Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt called Atif Aslam to seek his consent to include “Woh Lamhey” in the soundtrack of his new motion picture, Zeher (2005). The song (especially the remix version) became a hit.

    Career

    Even though Atif always admired Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen, his first love was for cricket and he dreamed of representing his nation as a cricketer. He was a fast bowler and his passion for the sport saw him being selected for the national Under 19 cricket team trials. At one stage Atif was training to represent his country in the U-19 World Cup.

    8

    Spurred on by his friends he began to sing in public during his days in college and recorded his first single “Aadat” (with the band Jal) with his pocket money. Within a matter of weeks “Aadat” went viral online and soon he became a household name on the basis of that one song. On 17 July 2004 his first album titled Jal Pari.

    Several songs from his debut album such as “Bheegi Yaadein”, “Ehsaas”, “Mahi Ve”, “Ankhon Sey” along with the title track “Jalpari” went on to become major hits and charted across countries in the subcontinent.

    16

    Following Jal Pari, he released two more successful solo albums, Doorie and Meri Kahani. Then, within a span of three years he recorded over two dozen chartbusters for top Bollywood films. Aslam’s work on the movie Race, was nominated for the Filmfare Award. He continues to work on top productions and his growing popularity has seen filmmakers create special music videos to promote their films with his songs.

    15

    Following sold out concerts throughout his country the demand to watch Atif Aslam perform live grew across the world.

    18

    He began to tour internationally with performances in the US and Canada with RDB and Annie Khalid. Atif then made his solo debut concert in New Jersey in Summer Beats 2008 (that also featured Kailash Kher, Richa Sharma and Amanat Ali) atSovereign Bank Arena. After a sold out concert in New Jersey, Atif returned with his band and special guests to Queens Colden Center, New York to perform on 2 July 2010.Taking over the production, Atif produced the event with special sound and light design to support his concert.1

    Two years later Atif Aslam returned to the US. Collaborating with vocalist Shreya Ghoshal their March 2010 tour originally had 10 shows announced in US and Canada. However, the response inspired the organizers to put shows in six more cities. The next month, Atif Aslam made his debut in South America with a performance at Anthony Nesty Sports Hall, Suriname.

    7

    The world touring continued with Atif Aslam performing with Sunidhi Chauhan for the first time at Hershey Centre, Mississauga followed by another show at Oracle Arena, San Francisco, Oakland in July 2011 during their USA and Canada tour. In September 2011 he performed in New York.

    Atif continued to tour the world with headline performancesat Royal Albert Hall in London (alongside Jay Sean). He followed that with dates across major concert venues in the UK in 2010.

    On 22 April 2012 Atif Aslam became the first man from his country to perform in London’s O2 Arena a concert  spectacular to promote love, peace and unity among India and Pakistan. Atif performed for four hours. This was followed up by shows in Manchester and Glasgow.

    In 2012 he was invited for three concerts at the World Trade Centre in Dubai. This was followed with his debut concert in Bangkok at the Centara Convention Centre on 6 October 2012.[15] Atif Aslam then returned to performing in 10 major cities of Pakistan during his Jazz Jazba Generation Tour[16] where backstage footage of Atif Aslam during the tour, his interactions with his fans, and intimate look at the man behind the star was filmed for the first time. On 2 November he performed his first public concert in Malaysia.

    3

    In December 2012, Atif was named among top performers of Dubai for 2012 alongside Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, Il Divo,Gotye, Evanescence and Swedish House Mafia. A few weeks earlier, Atif Aslam became the first man from Asia, and the second artist after Bryan Adams, to be permitted to perform inside the Dashrath Rangasla National Football Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal. With 25,000 in the crowd this concert was a great success. Atif once again returned to Dubai for multiple concerts in 2013 at the world famous Atlantis resort. He also earlier shared stage with upcoming talent Shalmali Kholgade in Dubai.

    In April 2013, Atif performed for the first time at the LG Arena in Birmingham following which he became the first artist from Asia to perform twice at London’s O2 Arena. Also in concert at the O2 were Bollywood stars Shaan, Malaika Arora Khan & Bipasha Basu. The show was produced by Naz Choudhury and Flex FX. In November 2014 Aslam performed at the Leisure Valley grounds in Gurgaon alongside Arijit Singh in front of thousands. The Pakistani Atif, as popular here as the Indian Arijit, both Bollywood ‘hit machines’, showed that when it comes to music, art and people-to-people contact, there really are no boundaries.

      Three Major Technologies of HUAWEI EMUI 5.1

      Alternative Headlines:

      1. EMUI 5.1 Speeds up Your Phone
      2. Three Secrets for Smooth Experience of HUAWEI P10
      3. No More Stutter, Comprehensive Optimization by HUAWEI
      4. The Smoothness of HUAWEI P10 is a Credit to Three Thousand Engineers
      5. As smartphones are increasingly popular in people’s daily lives, smooth experience has become an important criterion for consumers to judge phones. Android has along been criticized for stutter after used for a while. To tackle the problem, HUAWEI has set up a team of 3,000 engineers who have comprehensively optimized Android 7.0 with Google and developed EMUI 5.1, introduced machine learning and upgraded Kirin 960 to fully tap the potential of software and hardware. As a result, smooth experience can be guaranteed even after a long time. So how does HUAWEI EMUI 5.1 make it happen? Here’s the catch.

      Generally, the reason why phones lag as time goes by is that the memory is gradually occupied by more and more invalid fragments over time(see Fig.1.1). HUAWEI EMUI 5.1 seeks to solve the problem for users with its unique technologies.

       

       

      Technology 1: Artificial Intelligence

      Intelligent perception, prediction and resource allocation of resources for smooth experience

      HUAWEI EMUI introduced AI in order to achieve intelligent perception through machine learning. By studying users behavior, Mate 9 will have a better understanding of users habit over time and then be able to accurately predict users behavior and allocate resources to avoid cold boot. In fact, Mate 9 can predict 85% of users behavior and speed up boot time by 20%.

      By perceiving demands of apps for resources, EMUI combined with Kirin chipsets can allocate CPU, GPU, memory and other resources accordingly instead of fair competition between apps so that hardware resources are truly allocated based on priorities and experience demand. As a result, phones will not lag over time.

       

       

      Technology 2: “HUAWEI Ultra Memory”

      Making full use of RAM for faster experience

      EMUI5.1 has self-learning capabilities based on AI,meticulously allocates resources due to integration of hardware and software and comprehensively optimizes Android components, solving the stutter glitch of Android phones. Moreover, by taking advantage of its technology in managing memory such as more efficient and stable memory recovery, memory compression at higher ratio and smarter memory defragmentation, EMUI delivers more smooth user experience with the same RAM.

      EMUI5.1 defragments actively instead of passively, enhancing memory allocation efficiency by 30%. The difference is prominent when multiple tasks are processed simultaneously.

      1) Active memory defragmentation: the system is able to perceive apps’ demand for memory in a real-time sense and then uses HUAWEI’s proprietary memory fragmentation computation model to perceive fragments in memory and defragments actively. In this way, it ensures that continuous memory space is available when needed and improves memory allocation efficiency.

      2) Memory compression at a ratio>50%: EMUI5.1 uses a high-compression-ratio algorithm by increasing the ratio to at least 50%. Based on AI and machine learning technologies, a smart prioritization algorithm in accordance with users’ behavior is obtained to compress apps and files that are not commonly used, thus leading to a high compression ratio. See the following photos.

      3) Speedy memory recovery with higher efficiency of up to 20%: EMUI5.1 adopts HUAWEI’s proprietary speedy memory release technology to recover memory rapidly, effectively and stably, taking less than 1 second in contrast to 12 seconds in the past.

       

       

       

      Technology 3 “Huawei Ultra Response”

      Making screen fly with your fingers

      Photo shooting, sharing and gaming has become a routine in many people’s daily lives. It involves processing photos including image scaling and loading, bitmap decoding and graphics rendering. HUAEWI Kirin 960 has integrated Vulkan graphics engine technology and taken the lead in supporting new generation Vulkan standard graphics interfaces based on Android 7.0 so as to remove the limit of CPU on GPU and enhance GPU’s performance by 180% and power efficiency by 40%.it also has realized multi-threaded rendering acceleration and can load, decrypt and draw graphics through multiple threads, enhancing image processing speed by 400%. Meanwhile, it successfully avoids stutter even if graphics rendering takes a long time. Besides, single frame drawing performance is elevated by 35% to 70%, frame drop reduces by 90%, smoothness increases by 30% and hardware resource usage when rendering falls by 50%. As shown below, rendering speed in the left image is clearly faster than that on the right, delivering more smooth experience for users.

      In addition, HUAWEI EMUI5.1 adopts Huawei Ultra Response solutions and optimizes the touch screen driver from the kernel. It also predicts users’ touch based on their habit and does image rendering simultaneously based on Kirin 960, resulting in a response time as fast as iOS.

      EMUI5.1 is able to predict the trajectory of users’ touch, accelerating response time by 10%. In other words, it leverages intelligent touch position prediction algorithm to predict users’ touch and refreshes interfaces in advance, accelerating response time to touch by 10%. Whether dragging icons across the desktop, browsing directory and messages or playing games (ThunderRaid), the screen moves perfectly with your fingers. Intelligent prediction makes your phone as smooth as a new one.

      HUAWEI EMUI5.1 smart system, by leveraging various technologies, defragments and recovers memory space and optimizes intelligent prediction, image engine and touch screen to speed up response of your phone and deliver smooth experience.

        Glass ceiling cracked, but not smashed

        Lahore: March 7, 2018:- Fortyyears on from the phrase ‘glass ceiling’ being used to define thwarted careers and ambitions – especially for women – ACCA is calling for business leaders to showreal and measurable progress on diversity and social mobility issues, as it marks International Women’s Day 2018.

        The global theme for this year’s event is #pressforprogress, seeking advances on a number of issues from gender pay parity to equality of opportunity.Helen Brand OBE, ACCA’s chief executive, says: ‘2018 is the 40th anniversary of the phrase ‘glass ceiling’ first being used by business consultant Marilyn Loden.

         

        ‘Looking forward, if there’s one area where I wish to see sustained progress, it’s to ensure career ladders breakthrough the glass ceiling for women.We have to take a wider view and seek progress on social mobility – unequal access to opportunities still exists for manywomen and men.

         

        ‘ACCA has welcomed policies to address issues such as disparity in pay and boardroom diversity in the UK and globally.There are examples of good practice highlighted in our recent report Generation next: managing talent in large accountancy firmswhich shows how the Big Four are addressing diversity to ensure women have a place and voice in their business. This includesKPMG’s women in finance forum and Deloitte conducting ‘blind interviews’ to tackle recruitment bias.’

         

        Sajjeed Aslam, Head of ACCA Pakistan adds:‘The accountancy profession is an attractive career choice for many because of the flexibility and choice it offers.At ACCA we’ve made opportunity a reality, with an open access policy that enables anyone to qualify as a professional accountant. By simply removing the need for prior qualifications, we’ve created access to a profession that offers a rewarding career.’

         

        ACCA says employers and their recruitment strategies are part of the success equation for diversity.Sajjeed Aslamcontinues:‘As our Gen Next report shows, creating the leaders of tomorrow is an on-going task for firms. The tone clearly has to be set from the top, with a transparent culture that’s committed to diversity. We have to measure this progress too – after all, what’s not measured can’t be managed.

         

        ‘Effective corporate leadership is needed to achieve real and lasting progress. At ACCA we believe this can be made through open discussion, transparent reporting and ensuring diversity is an integral part of how we work now and in the future.’
