Australia Exploring Small Radioactive Capsule

0

Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO.AX) apologized for losing tiny radioactive capsule.

It’s unclear how long the radioactive capsule has been missing, which was part of a gauge used to measure the density of iron ore feed.

On January 12, a specialist contractor picked up the gauge from Rio’s Gudai-Darri mine site. On Jan. 25, the gauge was discovered broken apart, with one of four mounting bolts missing and screws from the gauge also missing, when it was unpacked for inspection.

Authorities believe that vibrations from the truck caused the screws and bolt to come loose and that the radioactive capsule from the gauge fell out of the package and then through a gap in the truck.

Authorities are now tasked with searching along the truck’s 1,400-kilometer (870-mile) journey from the north of Newman, a small town in the remote Kimberley region, to a storage facility in Perth’s northeast suburbs – a distance longer than the length of the United Kingdom.

“We are very concerned about this incident. “We recognize that this is clearly very concerning and apologize for the concern it has caused in the Western Australian community,” said Rio’s iron ore division chief Simon Trott in a statement.

Caesium-137, which emits radiation equivalent to 10 X-rays per hour, is housed in a silver capsule that is 6 mm in diameter and 8 mm long.

Authorities Advice

The risk to the general public is modest, but authorities advise individuals to keep at least five meters (16.5 feet) away because radiation exposure can result in radiation sickness or burns.

The state’s emergency services department has created a hazard management team and brought in specialized tools, such as portable radiation survey meters that can be used from moving vehicles to assess radiation levels within a 20-meter radius.

Trott claimed that Rio had hired a third-party contractor with the necessary training and credentials to package and transport the gauge in a secure manner.

“We have completed radiological surveys of all areas on site where the device had been, as well as surveyed roads within the mine site as well as the access road leading away from the Gudai-Darri mine site,” he said, adding that Rio was also investigating how the loss occurred.

Analysts stated that transporting dangerous goods to and from mine sites was routine and that such incidents were extremely rare and did not reflect Rio’s poor safety standards.

The incident adds to the mining conglomerate’s headaches after it destroyed two ancient and sacred rock shelters in Western Australia‘s Pilbara region for an iron ore mine in 2020.

0

Federal govt announces immediate petrol price hike, two days ahead.

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar announced the decision at a press conference. Petrol has been increased by Rs 35 per litre under the revised price.

The finance minister stated that the decision was made earlier because social media was rife with rumours of an Rs. 50 increase, causing artificial shortages in the market.

According to the minister, the rise in petroleum prices is due to the depreciation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar as well as an increase in international oil prices.

In addition to petrol, the price of high-speed diesel has been raised by Rs. 35 per litre. Light diesel oil (LDO) and kerosene oil prices have also risen by Rs. 18 per litre.

Why Young Student Get Allegedly Humiliated By The School?

0

Karachi student alleg humiliation at private school for speaking Urdu.

The father of the child created a video that has been going viral on social media in which he describes the incident in detail.

The child’s father said that his son was subjected to taunts at school for speaking Urdu and that black ink was painted on his face as retaliation for speaking in his native tongue.

The child’s father further claimed that his son was made fun of in front of other kids and that they were encouraged to tease him.

Additionally, the individual asserted that he had discussed the matter with the school administration. The management, however, asserted that it was powerless to intervene.

On the other hand, the Directorate of Private Schools became aware of the social media video and contacted the private school for a reaction.

The incident has not yet been confirmed or refuted, according to the directorate, but a three-person committee has been established to look into it.

As the video spread on social media, many people condemned the behavior and referred to it as an assault on the child’s mental health and self-worth.

A user posted on Twitter,

“Speaking in Urdu has become a felony,” claiming that “a kid was humiliated and had black ink put to his face at Civilization School in Karachi for speaking in Urdu.”

Language Argument

The video brought to light a societal problem with the nation’s rapidly spreading English-prioritization culture.

There has been much discussion in social and cultural circles about how Pakistan, where English is one of the official languages, has been giving less emphasis to its national and regional languages.

Many contend that emphasizing English so much harms not only the development of the language but also students, whose first tongue is frequently not Urdu.

What New Features Will WhatsApp Soon Receive?

WhatsApp from Meta to unveil new camera and photo editing features.

The camera and photo editing tool, both of which are now accessible in WhatsApp’s most recent beta version, have received some modest but important changes. These WhatsApp features, as usual, were discovered by none other than WABetaInfo.

Finally, WhatsApp’s camera section now offers separate photo and video recording options. You shouldn’t need to hold the button down like previously to record videos thanks to this.

To begin recording, slide to the Video option and tap once. Similar to the majority of Android camera apps, tap once more to stop the recording.

You can switch between the front and back cameras while recording by doing this. Normally, WhatsApp releases new features to a small group of users first, but this upgrade is different.

Everyone has access to it in the most recent beta version, thus its release is imminent.

More Photo Editing Options

Additional Image-Editing OptionsAdditionally, WhatsApp intends to expand the text editing tools available in the photo editor.

The most recent beta version of this feature was also discovered. This will give you more font selections and make it simpler to change the text inside of photographs, videos, and GIFs.

We currently have access to the fonts Damion, Exoz, Courier Prime, Morning Breeze, and Castiloga.

These, however, will only be accessible in the text editor, thus status updates won’t be able to use them just yet.

There is currently no information on whether WhatsApp will ever provide that option. A future upgrade of WhatsApp should bring the new text editing features to the stable version.

0

Ali Fazal addressed his absence from 3rd installment of Fukrey series.

Fans have expressed their dismay that Fazal will not be returning as Zafar in the comedy film “Fukrey” sequel, which was announced earlier this week.

Finally, the “Mirzapur” actor has issued a formal statement in response to his fans. So Zafar aayega ya nahi? he asked. Baar Baar, Sab yahi puch rahe. I’m sorry, my friends, but Zafar won’t be appearing in Fukrey this time. Everyone keeps asking me about it.

He continued, mentioning another of his cult figures, “Zafar bhai ko kabhi kabhi Guddu bhaiya bhi banna padta hai.” “At times, Zafar has to take the form of Guddu, and these two universes occasionally cross paths,” the song says.

“Once a fukra, always a fukra,” therefore my presence. However, I won’t be appearing in the third film with the Fukras, Bholi, and Panditji!, Fazal insisted.

“I would have liked to have participated, but time and scheduling prevented me from doing so.”

At some point in the future, perhaps earlier than you anticipate, I shall return. After a brief break, Zafar will return to amuse you all.

It is important to note that this year will see the third season of his web series “Mirzapur,” which will also be returning.

Ali Fazal also has the Hollywood movie “Kandahar” and the Netflix series “Khufiya” from Vishal Bhardwaj in his back pocket.

Sajal Aly to Lead Eight-Part Sseries Adaptation As Umrao Jaan

0

Umrao Jaan Ada novel to be adapted into a series featuring Sajal Aly.

The novel, a classic of Urdu literature, was published by Mirza Hadi Ruswa in 1899 and is renowned for its depiction of 19th-century Indian subcontinental culture and society, notably the lives of courtesans.

The book has been adapted for the big screen in numerous ways. On the most current, producer Hamid Hussain is in charge.

According to Hussain,

Sajal will play the key role in the next Umrao Jaan Ada adaptation. He noted that, in contrast to earlier productions, Aly’s Umrao Jaan is an eight-part television series.

It won’t be a movie, but an eight-part television series. Sajal is one of the two female leads we are developing for this series.

Numerous films have been made based on the book. “Umrao Jaan Ada” (1972), directed by Hasan Tariq in Pakistan, starred Rani.

In India, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appeared in J.P. Dutta’s 2006 version of Muzaffar Ali’s 1981 film “Umrao Jaan,” which was adapted by Muzaffar Ali.

The book also served as the basis for two 1958 Indian films, “Mehndi” by S.M. Yusuf and “Zindagi Ya Toofan” by Nakshab Jarchavi.

In 2003, a Pakistani television adaptation aired on Geo TV, while in 2014, an Indian television adaptation aired on the Doordarshan Urdu channel.

“Umrao Jaan Ada – The Musical”

It is an adaptation of Ali’s 1981 motion picture by Indian composer Salim-Sulaiman, which premiered in 2019.

The most recent translation will be in the Urdu version that features Aly. Action Consultancy, a South Asian celebrity management company based in Abu Dhabi, is packaging and producing the project. The producers are Hamid Hussain and Muhammad Yaqoob.

There is a lot in the novel that has never been displayed in an audiovisual project, according to Hussain, who also revealed that the series adaptation strongly draws from the original Urdu version of the book.

Unlike the film adaptations that took artistic license to fit the plot into a cinematic narrative. The project is currently under development and is anticipated to join a significant streamer.

Action Consultancy manages prominent South Asian actors, like Humayun Saeed, who appeared in “The Crown,” and Ahad Raza Mir, who appeared in “Resident Evil.”

The company recently diversified its services and forayed into funding and packaging foreign content for movies and television shows.
