You can be in two places at once

A device that exists in two different states at the same time, and coincidentally proves that Albert Einstein was right when he thought he was wrong, has been named as the scientific breakthrough of the year. The machine, consisting of a sliver of wafer-thin metal, is the first man-made device to be governed by the mysterious quantum forces that operate at the level of atoms and sub-atomic particles.

Normal, everyday objects obey the laws of conventional Newtonian physics, named after Sir Isaac Newton, but these rules break down on the sub-atomic scale and a whole new branch of theoretical physics had to be invented to explain what happens on this sub-microscopic level.

Einstein was the first to embrace quantum physics but later rejected it on the grounds that it made everything unpredictable – "God does not play dice with the universe," he famously stated.

The Cold Start doctrine

According to leaked documents, India’s contingency program to attack program is named Cold Start. The Cold Start doctrine was announced in April 2004 by the BJP-led government that was replaced shortly thereafter by the Manmohan Singh government, which has not since publicly embraced Cold Start.

The Cold Start doctrine explained…
Cold Start attacks could begin within 72 hours after the attack order has been given, and would be led by armored spearheads launched from prepared forward positions in Punjab and Rajasthan. As described, the plan emphasizes speed and overwhelming firepower: armored formations and accompanying infantry would advance into eastern Pakistan with limited goals in terms of distance and in terms of duration. Although the plan reportedly has a significant air support component, it is unclear to us how much joint versus parallel planning has taken place.

A positive attribute of Cold Start from the Indian perspective is that the short 72-hour time period between decision and attack could shield the GOI from international pressure to refrain from taking military action against Pakistan.
So the people of Kabirwala, though cold war is dead yet the threat of Cold Start still looms on our heads.

The CJ took suo motu notice on a report telecast by a private TV channel stating that the CDA had allotted a plot measuring 26.5 kanals to Hamid Yar Harraj for a school in the Diplomatic Enclave, Islamabad, in violation of the laid down rules and procedure.

According to the telecast, the Master Plan of Islamabad has been altered without the approval of the cabinet, and 37 kanals plot has been changed into a 19 kanal plot. Thereafter, the 19 kanal land worth Rs 6 billion was allotted to Hamid Yar Harraj for just Rs71.632 million, whereas 18 kanal land has been given for school in the name of green belt.

Hamid Yar Hiraj is member of National Assembly from Kabirwala tehsil.
