We’ve heard from the newspapers lot of times about converting chemical energy to Ethanol fuel, but we haven’t seen much development in this regard in Pakistan.

It has a practical plan to promote this area. Al Barr Farm Waste Fuel Energy Recrudesced.

He is a graduate of Imperial College of London. He has got a master’s degree in innovation design engineering.

About Al Barr Farm Waste Fuel Energy Recrudesced

Syed Hussain Abid has designed and engineered a mechanism. 

This converts straw from wheat, barley, and sugarcane into Ethanol.

Because with over 50 million tons of straw waste at his disposal, Hussain can easily carry on his research to find out a better and more efficient method for fuel consumption.

Al Barr Farm Waste Fuel Energy Recrudesced can be ultimately used as automobile fuel.
It will be a safer and cleaner way to power stoves in kitchens across the rural areas in the country.

Ethanol is already used as a major source of motor fuel additive in developing economies.

This is an environment friendly fuel which burns and emits less harmful pollutants across the atmosphere.

Common blends of ethanol fuel include E 10 (commonly used in the USA) which contains up to 10% Ethanol.

Another blend of ethanol is E85 which contains 85% Ethanol and is also use widely across the world. Al Barr Farm Waste Fuel Energy Recrudesced.

According to him, Pakistan is at least 25 to 30 years behind Indian who has been launching such observatory satellite since the 1970s. Pakistani CPEC RSS PakTes-1A Satellite.

RSS technologies are used to detect and classify objects on earth, including on the surface and in the atmosphere and oceans, based on propagated signals.

In the budget presented in April for the fiscal year 2018-19, the government had allocated Rs4.7 billion ($40.7 million) to the SUPARCO. This was a 34 percent higher than the previous year’s budget allocation.

Last year, the SUPARCO announced that the country was all set to launch two satellites, including its first remote sensing satellite, in early 2018.

SUPARCO Chairman Qaiser Anees Khurram had said:

Our first optical remote sensing satellite is all set to be launched in 2018.”

The other, he said, will be an experimental satellite.
Qaiser Anees Khurram added:

“Remote-sensing satellite will have multiple benefits and practical applications, including agriculture, disaster management, urban planning, forestry, water management, weather forecast and other areas.”

The launching of the satellite will support Pakistan’s efforts for self-reliance amid tensions with the US. Only last month, the two countries had imposed tit-for-tat travel restrictions on each other’s diplomats suggesting a new low in their troubled ties.

In January, the US suspended security assistance to Pakistan targeting the Coalition Support Fund. Pakistan responded sharply saying it was not dependent on US aid for the war on terror.
The foreign ministry said Pakistan had fought the war against terrorism largely from its own resources “which has cost over $ 120 billion in 15 years.”

Pakistani Maven Develops Dante Artificial Journalist. According to a local television channel, the stories written by Dante were sent to experienced journalists in Pakistan for feedback.

One of them said that he could not tell the difference between a human-written story or a robot-written news story.

BaseH is a small company of IT professionals headquartered in Karachi. To make the AI Content Writer, they also enlisted the expertise of software engineers from the NED University.

AI-powered writing assistance programs are becoming better by the day. Grammarly, a popular grammar checker, uses AI-powered products to help with writing tasks. Microsoft Word’s Editor feature also uses AI to understand nuances in writing styles. It not only flags grammatical errors but also points out the use of unnecessarily complex words and overused terms. It also provides smart suggestions. For example, if it marks a sentence as passive, it will reword the sentence in an active voice.


A leading newspaper in the United States, the Washington Post, also has an in-house automated storytelling technology called heliograf, that uses it to cover all high school football games in the Washington, D.C. area every week.

The company is hoping that their AI writer could be used as an additional resource by newspapers, TV channels and blogs as it would enable editors to save their focus on other stories.

Pakistan is a fertile land for software developers and IT professionals, this innovation in content development will certainly change the landscape of technology in Pakistan.

“We are expecting at least two more medals. It certainly is possible,” said Malik. “Nooh has a great reputation among his opponents and there are around 600 male and female athletes in Australia at the championship.

Nooh is favourite to win the juniors event and is expected to give good competition in the seniors’ event as well. We are hoping that Nooh and Abdullah both make it to the final.” This is the first time since 2006 that Pakistan weightlifters are competing in Australia, while the Commonwealth Championship will also serve as a qualification event for the 2018 Commonwealth Games that will also take place in Gold Coast.

Moreover, it is also to be noted that this the first time since 2006 that Pakistani weightlifters are participated in Australia.
