Nawaz to open Pakistan’s first private hydel plant today
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is scheduled to inaugurate Pakistan’s first
private hydel power project near Mangla Dam in Azad Kashmir on Monday.
The 84MW run-of-the river New Bong Escape Hydropower Project is expected
to provide electricity to Wapda at about Rs8.7 per kwh, compared to
average thermal generation cost in excess of Rs18 per unit. The
commercial production at the project is estimated to save about 135,000
tons of imported oil costing over $100 million per annum. It will
provide 540 GWh of green energy per year to the national grid under a
25-year power purchase agreement with the National Transmission and
Dispatch Company. |

'Drone It Yourself' turns (not quite) anything into a quadcopter
If you want a drone but you feel all the existing options aren't quite
your style, you may want to give a "Drone It Yourself" kit a try. Clip
the rotors and power supply to your phone or book or cardboard box or
piece of toast, and watch it take flight! Everything required appears in
that stylish case below: four rotors, a power supply and flight control
unit. The idea is to just unpack it, assemble and attach to the lucky
item that will be your new drone body. It won't support anything that
weighs more than a couple of pounds, though: Drones have to be light to
get off the ground, so your dreams of flying toasters may go unfulfilled
for now. |

PALM SURGERY is on the rise in Japan as people carve new lines into
their hands in bid to improve their fortune
Palmistry is the ancient art of predicting the future through the
reading of palm lines. The art is hugely popular in Japan where palm
readers charge optimistic customers upwards of £50 a session to tell
them what the future could hold, simply by looking at the markings on
their hands. But and now for those not content with the fortune lines
that nature gave them there is a drastic new way of trying to be master
of their own destiny: by altering their palm lines through cosmetic
surgery. The surgery, which has also been known to be carried out in
Korea, is performed with an electric scalpel which burns the flesh
leaving a semi-permanent scar. |

New Apple TV service would reportedly include ad-skipping technology
Rumors have circulated about a future Apple TV that goes beyond what the
company's current set-top box offers for years. While most of that
speculation has focused on a full-on TV set, we're hearing some
rumblings now about what the user experience might be like. According to
former Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Lessin, Apple's next TV
service will include some ad-skipping technology — much like the
controversial Dish Hopper DVR. Lessin reports that talks with networks
and cable companies have been going on in "fits and starts" for over a
year, but talks have gotten more serious in recent discussions. |
