ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott only focused on co-parenting, dispel patch-up buzzEx-couple Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have time and again sparked buzz about their patch-up but for now, that remains far from the truth. As 2020 kicks off, the couple are rolling into the new decade by shooting down all chitchats of them getting back together as a source close to the two has revealed that their main focus is their daughter Stormi, and that is that. Speaking to HollywoodLife, a grapevine close to the family revealed: “Right now Kylie is focusing on herself and her daughter and co-parenting and those are really her only concerns.” “She’s told some friends she doesn’t think she will be working things out with Travis in a romantic way in 2020 or beyond,” they further added. The insider further goes on to say: “Raising Stormi together is very important to her, but she’s said she thinks they’re done for good as far as a future relationship.” “The main reason Travis was at the family party was to be a united parental front for their daughter. She knows Travis is an amazing father and she always wants to include him,” it was further revealed. “This is something Kris has always instilled in her and she really listens to her mom on this one,” the source further added. -

Govt focused on strengthening transmission network: power minister
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
Minister for Power Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari chairs PPIB meeting in Islamabad/ Picture: APP ISLAMABAD: Minister for Power Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari said on Wednesday that current transmission network needs to be strengthened and made reliable to support the government?s aim of achieving sustainability in the system, according to a press release. The federal minister was chairing the 115th meeting of the Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) held here today. In the meeting, he said that the Government of Pakistan realises the importance of transmission lines in supporting the upcoming power generation projects. He stated that the GoP is working on upgrading the existing transmission network to make it more reliable and efficient, adding that the National Transmission & Dispatch Company (NTDC) has been asked to take the requisite measures. At the same time, the private sector is being encouraged to contribute in network expansion, he said. So far, Pakistan?s first ever HVDC Transmission Line project has already been initiated in the private sector under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), while several other projects are being planned to launch through international competitive bidding, said the federal minister. Managing Director PPIB Shah Jahan Mirza briefed the board on various projects being implemented under the CPEC. In today?s meeting, the Board approved extension in Financial Close deadline of +660 kV HVDC Matiari-Lahore Transmission Line, being processed under the CPEC, said the press statement. The board also allowed extension in Financial Close deadlines of Thar coal based power projects under the CPEC, which include 330 MW Project by Thar Energy Limited and 330 MW Project by ThalNova Thar Pvt. Ltd. The federal minister said that the current government believes in the policy of facilitating investors, and extending full support to them for processing and timely completion of their projects. Managing Director PPIB Mirza, while briefing the Board on the performance of PPIB, stated that extensive efforts are being done to cultivate Thar coal and hydro potential for power generation. Mirza briefed the board that the PPIB is successfully meeting the challenging and ambitious timelines of the current government for the addition of huge quantum of power generation capacity in the national grid. He said that the progress is evident from the fact that within a period of less than one year, two projects of 1467 MW have started commercial operations while another four projects of 5000 MW cumulative power capacity have achieved partial commissioning as well, as per the statement. The federal minister remarked that sustainability in power system is a must-do task of the GoP, next to balancing the demand-supply situation, adding that merely providing additional megawatts would not be sufficient to gain real goals. Pakistan?s future lies in the indigenous and renewable energy for which serious efforts are being put in the National Electricity Plan and a new energy policy are the measures to consolidate these efforts, which will act as a guide for future capacity expansions as well as choice of fuels etc, he said. The meeting was attended by Minister of State for Power Ch. Abid Sher Ali, Mr. Yousaf Naseem Khokhar, Secretary Ministry of Energy (Power Division), Mr. Arif Ahmed Khan, Secretary Ministry of Finance, Mr. Shoaib Ahmad Siddiqui, Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform, Lieutenant General Muzammil Hussain, Chairman WAPDA, representatives of Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) (Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan provinces and AJ&K), a private sector member, besides, Executive Director and Directors of PPIB and other senior government officials. -

REUTERS/Jim Young/Files WASHINGTON: The US State Department urged Turkey on Thursday not to take military action against Afrin region in Syria and called instead for Ankara to remain focused on fighting Daesh militants in the region. Asked about signs that Turkey was preparing to strike a Kurdish militia in Afrin, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told a briefing, ?We would call ... on the Turks to not take any actions of that sort. "We don?t want them to engage in violence but we want them to keep focused on [Daesh].? -
Just a few hours ago, at the 2018 Tokyo Auto Salon, Toyota unveiled the concept framework for its new supercharger, the GR Super Sport and we'd like to say it's the kind that will have your boxers in a twist. Interbrand is A-listed as the most valuable car brand of the world (Toyota isn't acknowledged for their coach designs), but the GR Super Sport concept is one with arresting aesthetics! Take a look at this futuristic masterpiece. Source: Toyota Whether it is the formidable front grille or the wide fender flares, the fascia of the concept is a tasteful mix of sophistication and sport. There are vents galore through the bodywork of the car that implies it's a heavy duty vehicle giving off a lot of heat, and the makers have given it a fin as well as a rear spoiler for better aerodynamics. Gazoo Racing, or the road-track performance division of the brand, says the bodywork of the supercar is almost the same as their prototype hybrid, the Le Mans racer TS050, except that we find the Super Sport better looking and more viable for production. So that makes it a circuit car that will also be homologated for road use! Source: Toyota The insides of the GR are equally impressive. Under the hood you'll find a 2.4 litre twin-turbo V6 engine. Source: Toyota There is an additional electric motor that sends power to the rear wheels. The engine + motor combined are capable of producing 986hp. Source: Toyota There's no information on the top speed nor the 0-100kmph performance, but it's safe to assume it'll be at par with reigning racetrack focused supercars. Does the GR take the shine off of the most anticipated Toyota Supra that's lined up for a reveal at the Tokyo Motor Show, later this year? Maybe just a little, but the Supra has had a long drawn connection with performance and a loyal fanbase that's counting days to its unveiling. Source: Drive.ru The new two-door road rammer is set to release this year in 2 and 3 litre BMW engine models with varying performance specs ranging from 195 to 335hp, and even under wraps, it looks like a tough challenger with a menacing aesthetic scheme. Rumour also has it that it might fall under the Gazoo Racing brand. Truth be told, we're excited about both but the 968hp and the massive fenders of the GR have our undivided attention (at least for now). October will be the month of judgement and we're waiting, not so patiently!

Singapore bans film focused on indicted Palestinian teen activist
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
Palestinian teen Ahed Tamimi (R) enters a military courtroom escorted by Israeli Prison Service personnel at Ofer Prison, near the West Bank city of Ramallah, January 1, 2018. REUTERS SINGAPORE: Singapore has banned a film festival from screening a documentary later this week that features a teenage Palestinian female activist whose arrest last month has made her a symbol of resistance to Israeli military occupation in the West Bank. Justifying the ban, authorities in the Southeast Asian city state said the film ?Radiance of Resistance? was ?skewed? and potentially divisive for Singapore?s multi-ethnic population. The documentary, which looks at the Palestine-Israeli conflict through the eyes of 16-year-old Ahed Tamimi and another young female activist, lacked ?counterbalance?, the Info-communications Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) said on its website. ?The skewed narrative of the film is inflammatory and has the potential to cause disharmony amongst the different races and religions in Singapore,? the IMDA said. The documentary was due to have been shown at the Singapore Palestinian Film Festival on Thursday. It was screened at a number of festivals worldwide in 2017 and won Best Documentary at the Respect Human Rights Film Festival in Belfast, but has become even more topical following Tamimi?s arrest last month. Tamimi was charged on Monday with counts of aggravated assault and will be tried in an Israeli military court. An adult found guilty of assaulting a soldier could be jailed for up to 10 years, but Tamimi is a minor so such an outcome is unlikely. While Singapore?s authorities are known to keep a tight rein on public speech and the media, especially when it comes to matters related to race and religion, outright bans are more rare. Adela Foo, the organizer of the Singapore festival, called the ban ?understandable?, without elaborating. ?At the end of the day, the IMDA?s position is one to be respected,? the 23-year-old student told Reuters. With a sizable Muslim minority and surrounded by Muslim majority neighbors where sympathy for the Palestinian cause runs high, Singapore maintains friendly diplomatic and military ties with Israel. But it has lined up with many other countries opposed to U.S. President Donald Trump?s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel?s capital. Around 15 percent of Singapore?s 3.3 million resident population aged 15 years and over identify as Muslim, recent government surveys show. -
