It is my thought that by fasting on the 10th

of Muharram Allah Ta'aalaa will pardon the

sins of the past year.” (Tirmizi)

Battle of Karbala widely regarded as an

event which saved Islam. Hussain bin

Ali (R.A) is credited with saving Islam

from oblivion by offering timely sacri-

fice to draw the line of demarcation

between real Islam and the version pro-

moted by the People of Kufa.

The Battle of Karbala took place on

Muharram 10, in the year 61 of the Is-

lamic calendar (October 10, 680)in

Karbala, in present day Iraq.

On one side of the highly

uneven battle were a small

group of supporters and

relatives of Muhammad

(peace be upon him)’s

grandson Husain ibn Ali

(R.A), and on the other side

was a large military detach-

ment from the forces of

Kufa, Iraq.

Husain(R.A) and all his supporters were killed, including

Husain's six months old infant son , and the women and

children were taken as prisoners. The dead are regarded

as martyrs by Muslims, and the battle has a central place

in Islamic history and tradition with particular emphasis

in the faith.

Hazrat imam Hussain’s (R.A) bravery, forfeit, courage,

patience, sacrifice, enthusiasm, valor, gallantry, zeal and

zest are very much meaningful for the whole Muslim

Ummah. He (R.A) exemplified to combat the kufr like

his Grandfather Holy Prophet (PBUH).

The battle of Karbala

Annual sports gala is going to be held in Lahore Garrison University (Walton Cam-

pus) from December 12 and onwards. Students are merged in four different houses

named Unity, Faith, Discipline and Tolerance. It is a very lavish kind of an event. All

students participate with enthusiasm and sportsman spirit. Teachers also participated

Student: When I stand on my head the blood rushes to my head, but

when I stand on my feet the blood doesn't rush to

my feet. Why is this? Teacher: It's because your feet

aren't empty.

Patient: Doctor, I have a pain in my eye whenever I drink tea. Doctor: Take the spoon out of the mug before you drink

Harry: Can you tell me what is the

The Pea Coat

This phone is supposed to have a 2.5GHz quad-core APQ8064 CPU and 1GB of RAM. Other interesting items on the spec sheet

are a 4.5-inch 1280 x 720 display and Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed along with Sense UI. The handset supposedly measures 109.8 x 60.9 x 9.8mm and weighs 146g. Inside you'll find 32GB of storage space, 8 megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash and 1080p video recording, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, Bluetooth 4.0, Beats Audio and an 1,830mAh battery. On the outside the device has an inter-esting pincushion design that is narrow in the middle and widens towards the top and bottom. We can see the earpiece grille right at the top edge along with the camera sensor.

What is curious though is the presence of the keys below the display. Since this phone will come with Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed, ideally it should not have any keys. Unless, HTC has decided to go their own way and stick with the keys for now. On the back we can see the two plastic portions with a metal band running around the middle. The middle portion is sig-nificantly raised and then tapers towards the sides. On the top is the loudspeaker, camera lens and flash and near the bottom is the beats logo and a bump for the headphone jack

For Fall-Winter 2011/2012, Bottega Veneta considers how the way an object is made affects its look, feel, and function. Re-making traditional men’s wear items like the jack-et, the smoking, and the sweater in uncommon ways, for example by mixing materials and

methods of construction, allows for an explora-tion of their range and relevance. The result is a collection that is taut and urban, with an aus-tere, streamlined sensibility. Almost pandemic the last few winters, the pea coat is yet another piece of military fashion that’s found its place in everyday life. Originally issued to Dutch sailors to keep them warm, the pea coat caught on with other navies and eventually found a place in second-hand shops and closets among the general population. This is a great inoffensive choice that never really goes out of fashion. A lighter choice for warmer winters, the pea coat is a simple, casual piece that has attained truly classic status.

For the best fur look, you can combine fur with shimmery formal outfits for a majestically royal look. Fur can also make you look casual yet classy; combining a small fur scarf or cap with a long trench can give you a dazzlingly causal yet cool look in winter. You can buy a jacket with fur on its hood or sleeves, or you can add a subtle furry touch with fur scarf or

fur cap, the key is don’t overload yourself with fur’ and you

In what could be the first sign of a potential buyout, Microsoft has signed a confidentiality agreement with Yahoo to get access to the company’s financial infor-mation. Citing a “source familiar with the matter,” the report says Microsoft is one of many companies now combing through Yahoo’s business. Private equity firms KKR, TPG Capital, and Silver Lake Partners are also said to be inter-ested in buying minority stakes of up to 20 percent, with plans to eventually own controlling interest in the com-pany. KKR and Silver Lake recently invested a substantial amount of money into domain registrar GoDaddy, a deal reported worth $2.25 billion. The interest from Microsoft is especially notable since the software giant once before tried to buy the company back in 2008. The offered price was reported to be al-most $45 billion, or $33 a share. Today Yahoo trades for about $15 a share. Commenting on the failure to work out a deal three years ago, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said: “Sometimes you’re lucky.” Now it seems Microsoft is once again looking a buying Yahoo, or at least a sizable chunk of it. Why the renewed interest? it appears the company is interested in preserv-ing its partnership with Yahoo on search.

The two worked out an agreement in 2009 where Yahoo would use Microsoft’s Bing search technology, and Mi-crosoft would serve up ads in Yahoo searches. Yahoo is still the second most popular search engine, according to comScore, so Microsoft has good reason to keep that partnership alive. Yahoo has been struggling for years. Although its search and email services were once dominant, the company has failed to respond credibly as Google and other com-petitors gained market share. The company fired its CEO, Carol Bartz, in September. Former CFO Tim Morse is the current interim CEO.

While traditional mixing desks can bury DJs behind bulky equipment in a dimly lit corner of the club, this transparent, 46-inch multi-touch system from software development company Smithson Martin puts the person spinning the discs - or in this case the touch display - front and center. Billed as the "world's first and only multi-touch midi controller PC software for profession-al DJ and music," Emulator is a MIDI controller that shows all the information on one single screen and gives the user a colorfully lit display of all tracks and controls. The Emulator features 130 controls covering all the usual functions of DJ'ing (of course there's no need to lug around your old vinyl) and the screen is made from durable tough-ened glass - useful if a disgruntled raver hurls a beer can in your direction. Being see-through, the set-up also adds an extra dose of audience interaction to the whole process as the crowd can watch you mix, add effects and loop tracks ... and hopefully applaud you in the process.The MIDI controller PC software is designed for Windows 7 (a Mac OSX version is currently being developed) and right now it only works with Traktor Pro. Smith-son Martin says that Emulator for Ableton, Serato and Virtual DJ are currently in develop-ment. The minimum system requirements are Windows 7 Home Premium or better (32/64 bit), Dual Core 1.3 Ghz CPU, 1 GB RAM and an ASIO sound card (though 4 GB RAM and Native Instruments Audio2DJ sound card or better are recommended).

The news comes straight from Pocket-Lint – a popular weblog covering con-sumer electronics – in the form of a post in which they announce winners of their annual Gadget Awards. Their

award for Best phone for the 8th Annu-al Gadgets Awards goes to the Samsung Galaxy S II, beating out other phones like the Apple iPhone 4S, HTC Sensa-tion, Nokia Lamia 800 and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray. The award-selection process involved shortlisting five devices for the catego-ry and then choosing the best out of them based on the opinion of panel of “elite judges” including members of

British newspapers, leading websites and television channels. Besides this, they took input from around 100 jour-nalists and, of course, readers of their website.

Pocket-Lint, sadly, did not mention any specific reasons for choosing the Galaxy S II over other nominees. Sure, the GS II has an amazing, large display, a powerful camera and great design, but the iPhone 4S has a smaller, but sharper display, an even-more power-ful camera and, according to some, a better looking design (which may not be as durable, though).

Muhammad Mudassir Zia An Inspiration...

Muhammad Mudassir Zia, a young graduate of the University of Engineering &

technology (UET), is the founder and President of Message Welfare trust. Zia’s

vigor and passion to help the disadvantaged section of the society hassle him to

the path of establishing a strong platform for the youth of Pakistan where they

can make a difference by contributing in his noble endeavors.

He believes that his actions can inspire the youth to wake up, look around and

do something for this country and its people. The MWT Editorial team had the

chance to get ahead with M.M. Zia and delve into his mind to catch the true

inspiration from where we all can benefit.

He said his dream is to do anything for his country Pakistan. He never sees him-

self as the president or head of MWT. He always work as a member or a volun-

teer and do his best to help the under privileged people of his country Pakistan.

He does not compare MWT with NGO’s because they work voluntarily for the

trust. Most of they are students and have their own professional lives along with

the trust work.

Mission Our mission is to provide opportunities

that inspire young children to stay in

school, to recognize business opportu-

nities and to plan for successful futures.

Our focus extends into eradicating pov-

erty and initiatives that help us save the

environment.

GOTO conference in Aarhus, 2011 October 10-12. The goal of Dart is "ultimately to replace JavaScript as the

lingua franca of web development on the open web platform.

Dart is intended to solve JavaScript's problems (which, according to a leaked memo, cannot be solved by

evolving the language) while offering better performance, the ability "to be more easily tooled for large-scale

projects" and better security features. Google will offer a cross compiler that compiles Dart to ECMAScript 3

on the fly, for compatibility with non-Dart browsers. There will also be a facility to convert typedClosure code

to Dart. Google will also integrate a native VM into Chrome and encourage competitors to do the same with

their browsers. The Dart VM and Dart Cross Compiler could be available in late 2011.

Detective

of the month

Whenever this word strikes your ears, what is a 1st thought coming into your mind..? I know that would be about new styles of dresses, footwear, jewelry, etc. But friends! Fashion holds much more than this all. Fashion is an art through which notions of beauty and goodness of any culture is examined. Some times this term is employed negatively as a synonym of for fads, trends and materialism. That is a social phenomenon common to many fields of human activity and thinking traveling from class to class. Fashion refers to styles that are popular in a culture at any given time. Colloquially! It is used as a latest ver-sion. People bake in the concept that fashion is limited up to the matter of wearing but it can also include cui-sine, art and architecture, designing, music, dance, construction, etc. Even it is involved in technology as well as general comportment as a choice of computer programming techniques and standards of behaviors. For instance, the way to shy in old days was different to that of todays. So fashion is a diversified term involved in our lives. Every unusual and new habit becomes a fashion one day.

TORONTO — YouTube processes an esti-

mated three billion video views every

day and yet a good chunk of its visitors rare-

ly, if ever, go directly to its home page.

Google is hoping to change that.

Google, which runs YouTube, won't disclose

how many users only visit the site when

they click on a link -- they only say that links

are a "very powerful and fundamental traffic

driver" -- but the search giant hopes to get

more visits straight to YouTube.com with a

new redesign, launched

Thursday.

On the front page,

YouTube is now encour-

aging users to create their

own channel by

subscribing to see all the

videos uploaded by con-

tent creators they enjoy.

Viral videos

and clips linked off social networks can also

be added into a channel.

Subscribing is not a new concept on

YouTube, but Google is now highlighting the

feature more aggressively to drive longer

viewing sessions.

YouTube is also looking to encourage some

big-time content creators to consistently

churn out videos for users' channels, and

pointed to the digital team behind "Jimmy

Kimmel Live!" as a good example.

Canada is one of YouTube's strongest mar-

kets, generating the most views per capita of

any country. The site says it gets 17.6 million

unique Canadian viewers -- about half of

Canada's population -- each month.

YouTube also says adver-

tising revenue for Canadi-

an uploaders is up almost

300 per

cent over the previous

year. Among the Canadian

success stories are the

Montreal-

based guys behind Epic

Meal Time, who have built a following of

nearly two million

followers for their outlandish videos of over-

the-top gluttony. Their most popular video

has almost 12.3 million views and counting.
