    A source revealed that one of the teachers also overheard Charlotte, saying that Charlotte was speaking very loudly and was convinced that her mother was pregnant.

    Another baby would be the fourth Royal to be born in the family and we wonder if SHE (since Charlotte also revealed the gender) will be as mischievous as her older sister.

  • Pakistan to swap Jadhav for ex-army officer ‘in Indian custody’?

    Pakistan to swap Jadhav for ex-army officer ‘in Indian custody’?

    While Indian spy Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav remains in Pakistan’s custody over terror charges, media reports have claimed that a former Pakistan army officer is in Indian custody, raising speculation about a possible prisoner swap.

    “The government is making all-out efforts to locate Lt Col (r) Habib Zahir,” Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal said while taking exception to Indian media reports and denying the claims.

    “Pakistan maintains that the involvement of hostile agencies cannot be ruled out,” he was quoted as saying by Dawn.

    Sharing the details of the episode, Dr Faisal said that Zahir was a retired Pakistani officer who went missing in Nepal, where he had gone for a job interview in April 2017.

    The spokesperson added that according to his family, he had posted his CV on LinkedIn and the United Nations (UN) website for a job. “In response, he received a call and email from one Mark stating that he had been shortlisted for the job of vice president.”

    He was asked to visit Nepal and he was sent an Oman Airlines ticket for an interview on April 6, 2017.

    After landing in Nepal, which he visited for the first time in his life, he left Kathmandu airport (from where he had WhatsApped his pictures and boarding pass to his family), for Lumbini airport by Buddha Air.

    At 1300 hours, he messaged his wife from his mobile phone intimating that he had landed safely at Lumbini (a municipality 5 kilometres from the Indian border) after which his mobile appeared switched off and his family lost all contact with him.

    Investigations revealed that Mark’s United Kingdom (UK) cell number was fake and was actually an internet/computer-generated number. The website that he was contacted from was found to be operated from India and was subsequently taken down.

    The government of Nepal constituted a special team to look into his disappearance but there was no progress in the matter so far.

    In view of his disappearance from Lumbini and the involvement of Indian nationals (who reportedly received him at Lumbini, made his hotel reservations and booked his tickets), Pakistan also repeatedly reques­ted the government of India to assist in locating him.

    However, no positive response had been received from the Indian side.

  • Tips to increase your internet speed

    Tips to increase your internet speed

    Internet has become an essential part of our daily life and according to report more than 3 billion people use the internet daily around the world for various reasons including work, research, listen to songs, or to find friends on social media.

    Each user pays a handsome amount to get fast internet connection in their homes and offices, so getting good speed is a very important factor.

    There are virtually countless reasons why your internet might not be performing as you expect it to. A few common reasons are old software or hardware, too many other computers or mobile items on the network, ongoing downloads, signal interference from walls or other appliances and low Internet speed from your service provider.

    The following are some important tips that have proven their effectiveness for increasing internet speed.

    Decrease the distance between your computer and your router 

    If you are connected to the internet via a Wi-Fi router, the internet speed drops as you move further away from your router. Stay as close as possible to your router for maximum internet speed.

    Delete Unnecessary toolbars

    Removal of unused toolbars from your internet browser can speed up your network. You can also increase internet speed by using the browser in turbo mode, which increases the speed of work in the network by almost 10%.

    Unplug your router and modem for a few minutes

    This process is known as “power-cycling”, allowing your router to clear out its internal cache and start from scratch. It will further prompt it to re-select the least busy Wi-Fi channel, which is something that may change daily depending on your location.

    Check your device (PC or mobile) for viruses

    Regular scan of the memory of the computer or mobile device by antivirus programs prevents the risks of leakage of personal information and increases the speed of the Internet.

    Viruses significantly slow down the internet speed, using traffic for their needs.

    Ramiz Raja not happy with Misbah’s selection

    Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja is disappointed with the 20 probables selected by head coach-cum-chief selector Misbahul Haq for the upcoming T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka.

    While speaking in a Youtube video, the famous commentator has criticised Misbah for implementing a safety first approach in his selection.

    He said, “It was disappointing to see no new name or experimentation from Misbah, despite playing against a second-string Sri Lanka side,” adding that Misbah is playing safe as it is his first big assignment and is opting for tried and tested players.

    Ramiz Raja believes that Men in Green needs out of the box thinking with regards to the future.

    “You could have invited around four to five players to this camp, who you think are talented and have what it takes to serve Pakistan in future,” he added. “Instead, those players have been recalled who have been playing for Pakistan for last 10 years and we are aware of their potential and limitations.”
