Dr. Abdus Salam, a Pakistani theoretical physicist who became the first Muslim to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979, shared it with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg for their contributions to the electroweak unification theory. Despite facing discrimination and adversity due to his Ahmadiyya faith in Pakistan, Salam pursued his passion for science with unwavering determination.

He made significant contributions to theoretical physics, particularly in the field of electroweak interaction, which has had a profound impact on our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature. Salam's achievements not only brought honor to Pakistan but also inspired generations of scientists, particularly in developing countries, to pursue excellence in the field of physics and beyond. His story serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance, intellect, and the pursuit of knowledge in overcoming obstacles and achieving greatness.

Solar Panels: These are the main components that convert sunlight into electricity. The number of panels required depends on your energy needs and roof space.
Mounting System: This metal framework securely attaches the panels to your roof while considering wind and snow loads.
Inverter: This crucial device converts the DC (direct current) electricity produced by the panels into AC (alternating current) electricity usable in your home.
Balance of System (BOS): This includes various electrical components like cables, connectors, switches, and monitoring equipment to ensure safe and efficient system operation.
Optional: Depending on your setup, you might consider batteries for energy storage (enabling use at night or during outages) and a net meter (tracks electricity exported back to the grid).
Steps Involved:

Site Assessment: A qualified installer will visit your home to assess your roof suitability, sun exposure, and electricity consumption.

System Design: Based on the assessment, the installer will design a solar system that meets your needs and complies with local regulations.

Permitting: The installer will handle obtaining necessary permits from your local government for the installation.

Installation: The installation process typically takes 1-2 days and involves securely mounting the panels, wiring the system, and connecting it to your home's electrical panel.

Inspection and Permission to Operate: After installation, electrical and safety inspections are conducted. Once approved, you'll receive permission to connect to the grid (if applicable).

Monitoring and Maintenance: Regular monitoring of your system's performance is recommended. Maintenance typically involves keeping the panels clean and free of debris.

How Solar Panels Work:

Sunlight Capture: Solar panels consist of photovoltaic (PV) cells made from silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, it creates an electric field.

DC Electricity Generation: The electric field within the PV cells generates direct current (DC) electricity.

Inverter Conversion: The DC electricity travels to the inverter, which converts it into usable alternating current (AC) electricity compatible with your home's appliances.

Power Usage: The converted AC electricity can then be used to power your home' appliances and lighting.

iCube Qamar, Pakistan's first-ever lunar mission, has been successfully deployed in orbit, Geo.tv reported on Wednesday, citing Dr Khurram Khurshid.

Dr Khurshid, who is a member of the core team at the Institute of Space Technology (IST), termed the development “a great success overall” informing that the orbiter was deployed on May 8 at 1:14pm PST.

Following its deployment, the satellite will allow imaging of the desired Lunar surfaces in a carefully selected 12-hour elliptical orbit.

The iCube Qamar was launched on board China's Chang'e-6 from Hainan, China, on May 3.

Ahead of the launch of the satellite last week, Dr Khurram said that the Pakistani satellite — carried by China's Long March-5 rocket — will reach the lunar orbit in five days and will circle around the moon for three to six months.

He added that different pictures of the surface of the moon will be taken with the help of satellite after which Pakistan will have its own satellite images of the moon for research.

The satellite was designed and developed by the Islamabad-based Institute of Space Technology (IST) in collaboration with China's Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) and Pakistan's national space agency Suparco.

iCube Qamar orbiter carries two optical cameras to image the lunar surface. Following successful qualification and testing, the orbiter was integrated with China’s Chang’e6 mission — the sixth in a series of lunar exploration missions.

CubeSats are a class of small satellites used by academic institutes for experimental and research purposes in low Earth orbits, generally with an altitude of less than 1,000 km.

However, these satellites are now finding many applications in higher orbits and deep space missions.

iCube Qamar carries two cameras as payload for imaging lunar surface and Earth/moon images from lunar orbit besides having 3-axis altitude control for desired orientation, onboard computer, thermal control, telemetry and telecommand and payload data communication modules for connecting through deep space network.

The Heartbeat of Pakistani Hospitality:

Hospitality is more than a mere act in Pakistan; it’s a deeply ingrained ethos that permeates every facet of life. Anchored in the cultural fabric, this cherished tradition is characterized by a local saying that resonates with the soul of the nation: “Mehman nawazi,” which translates to “guest is king.” This sentiment is far more than a turn of phrase—it embodies the spirit of mehman nawazi that resonates throughout the country, from the bustling metropolises to the tranquil villages.

Traditional Pakistani Welcomes: The Warmth of “Adab” and the Fragrance of Chai:

A Pakistani welcome is often initiated with a heartfelt “Adaab” or “Assalam-o-Alaikum,” accompanied by a genuine smile that bridges language barriers. This simple yet profound greeting is the gateway to the realm of Pakistani hospitality. The offering of a cup of fragrant chai (tea) transcends its role as a beverage; it symbolizes an invitation to share stories, foster connections, and etch indelible memories. Traditional Pakistani delights like “samosas,” “pakoras,” and “mithai” (sweets) are meticulously prepared, embodying the flavors and heritage of the land.

Respect and Warmth for Every Visitor: A Guest’s Revered Place:

Pakistani culture accords a special reverence to guests. Hosting a guest isn’t merely a formality; it’s an honor. The best seat is reserved for the guest, the choicest dishes are generously shared, and every effort is made to create an ambiance steeped in warmth and respect.

In a promising turn of events, Pakistan’s textile sector is poised for a positive growth trajectory marked by a noteworthy export rebound and significant policy interventions.

This was stated by Mr Rehman, a member of the Executive Committee of the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA).

Talking to WealthPK, he said that approximately 20% of the textile and clothing sector’s installed capacity was adversely affected during the last 16 months. “However, recent developments indicate a positive trend, as August 2023 witnessed a month-on-month increase of 14.27% in overall exports compared to July 2023.
He highlighted that the textile and clothing sector’s effective production capacity now exceeded $25 billion, thanks to investments exceeding $5 billion in recent years. “Policy initiatives are expected to facilitate the realisation of the sector’s full potential.”

He explained that the successful implementation of the Regionally Competitive Energy Tariffs (RCET) had led to textile and clothing exports reaching $19.5 billion in FY22. “However, exports plummeted to $16 billion in FY23 after the RCET was discontinued.
