Finance Act 2026: local software engineers now hit with 15% WHT (was 4%).
It’s counterproductive. Shortsighted.
Pennywise, pound foolish. You don't build #DigitalPakistan by squeezing the very people coding its future. Higher costs, tighter cash flow, less incentive for local talent.
✨In the 11th century, the famous Muslim polymath Al-Biruni figured out the Earth's radius using nothing more than a mountain and a bit of trigonometry. 📐
The insight was brilliant:
Stand on a mountain, and the horizon dips below the horizontal. That dip isn't an optical illusion; it's a geometric signal. It creates a right triangle where the mountain's height (h) and the Earth's radius (R) are the only variables.
Measuring the mountain's height without climbing down:
He used a simple trigonometric trick: from two points on the plain, he measured the angle to the peak. Knowing the distance between those points, he calculated the mountain's height with a formula surveyors still use today:
H = D / (cot A1 – cot A2)
From the peak, he measured the dip angle to the horizon: α = 34′ (just over half a degree):
R = h * cos(α) / (1 - cos(α))
How did he compute the cosine of such a tiny angle?
Without modern calculators, he used a sophisticated technique: he started with the known value of cos(60°) and used the half-angle formula to work his way down to the required value for his 34′ angle.
He calculated the Earth's radius as 6,340 km. The modern value is 6,371 km.
An error of less than 1%. In 1030 CE.

عاااااااجل : أسطورة الكرة الإنجليزية آلان شيرار:
عندما يعود الحكم للـ VAR في هدف مصر ويُلغيه بسبب إعاقة في بداية اللعبة، ولا يعود للـ VAR في هدف فوز الأرجنتين رغم وجود إعاقتين في بداية اللعبة.. إذًا فنحن نشاهد "مسرحية" وليست مباراة كرة قدم.
إذا كان الفيفا يرغب في إهداء كأس العالم لميسي فليعطيه اللقب من الآن ويذهب لاعبو باقي المنتخبات إلى منازلهم 👏👏👏👏👏
That embarrassing moment when the US and Britain decided it would be a good idea to vote against the UN resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
And still some people think these are the good guys.....

🔴 It is Day 985 since October 7, 2023.
It has been 2 years, 8 months, and 12 days since Israel last allowed the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Palestinians held in its prisons and detention centers, where torture, rape, and other forms of abuse are systematically carried out against detainees.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.
The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.

One killed journalist might be a tragic accident.
Two killed journalists are undeniable attempts to intimidate journalists and suppress freedom of press.
Over 260 dead journalists in 2.5 years is the works of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the history of the world.
‘The English language has three voices: an active voice, a passive voice, and a secret unlockable exhonerative voice that journalists only use when describing Israeli war crimes.’
Israel is a terrorist state😡
🇵🇸 Palestine's representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, broke down in tears while talking about the Palestinian female doctor who lost nine of her ten children in the 🇮🇱Israeli massacre.
He said, "This is a horror and trauma that is impossible to comprehend, that the heart cannot bear."
Israel just blew up a school in Southern Lebanon.
What the hell is the Lebanese army doing ? Sitting like cowards. Serving the interests of Israel.
Shame on the Lebanese government
