PML-N till yesterday was chanting the slogan “Respect the Vote”, is now brazenly chanting the slogan “Vote the Turncoats”: Ch Parvez Elahi 

Lahore, July 13, 2022 (PPI-OT):Senior leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) former Federal Minister Fawad Hussain Chaudhry and former Governor Punjab Omar Sarfraz Cheema called on Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Parvez Elahi here today (Wednesday) and exchanged views in detail regarding the upcoming by-election.

Speaker Ch Parvez Elahi said that till yesterday, the PML-N, which had been chanting the slogan “Respect the Vote”, is now brazenly chanting the slogan “Vote for the Turncoats”. Shahbaz Sharif and Hamza Shahbaz are manipulating to reduce the anger of the people, false announcements are being made to provide free electricity, the political boat of father and son is sinking, now any kind of tricks will not work, these false declarations will have no effect on the people and Insha-Allah they will put an end to the turncoat politics by voting on July 17.

He said that the fake rulers are perplexed over the successful campaign of PTI, the resignation of the ministers will not matter anymore, now this incompetent government will have to go, the defeat of deviant members in all the by-election constituencies is the writing on the wall.

Ch Parvez Elahi said that the people have come to know the reality of imposters like Shahbaz Sharif. For the first time in history, the government did not find any candidate against the opposition in the by-elections. In the last few months of government, incompetent rulers have given the people the gift of historic inflation.

Former Federal Minister Fawad Ch said that the arrests in the by-election constituencies are the government’s bewilderment, all polls are announcing the success of PTI, rigging in the by-elections will cost the rulers dearly, when the Election Commission will take notice of the Punjab government’s interference.

Former Governor Umar Cheema said that any attempt to block the path of PTI would fail, adding that successful public gatherings of Imran Khan are announcing the success of PTI in advance. The meeting was also attended by PTI leader Saleem Baryar, Punjab Assembly members Ahsan Saleem Baryar and Musarat Jamshed Cheema.

Rawalpindi, July 13, 2022 (PPI-OT):Fatima Jinnah Women University Rawalpindi took part in the Pakistan Blind Sports Federation’s First Prime Minister National Para Game for Visually Impaired Athletes, which was held from June 25 to June 29 at the Sports Complex in Islamabad.

The Pakistan Blind Sports Federation (PBSF) serves as an umbrella organization for the six federating units of Pakistan’s regional and provincial blind sports associations. Since it was founded six years ago, the Pakistan Blind Support Federation has worked to support blind students.

This is the first time that the said event was held under the name of Prime Minister Para Games. The Para Games, which attracted blind athletes from all across Pakistan, was the largest competition in Pakistani history.

120 athletes from all over Pakistan participated in this event. Four disciples including Athletics and Judo were played in the games. The event was being organized with the help of the present government and the students were given regular training and the games kicked off from 25 June.

To ensure that students have a rich and varied campus experience, FJWU offers students top-notch sports facilities and a complete calendar of events. It gives blind students the opportunity to participate in constructive extracurricular activities and encourages them to do so.

FJWU is doing its part to mitigate the gender stereotypes and negative perceptions of people with disabilities by providing disabled women and girls the chance to compete and showcase their physical prowess. Such opportunities enables people with visual impairment to become people of vision — a vision of an accessible future full of exciting opportunities for all.

FJWU Blind team players total got 06 six medals one shield and also participation certificates in 1st Prime Minister National Para Game 2022. Dr. Sheikh Saeed Ahmad, Director Sports at Fatima Jinnah Women University, stated that the university is making efforts to upgrade its athletic facilities to facilitate the students.

ATP’s New High-Endurance, Low-Latency SD/microSD Cards Built for Dashcams, DVRs Offer Over 109K Hours of Continuous Video Recording

ATP’s New High-Endurance, Low-Latency SD/microSD Cards Built for Dashcams, DVRs Offer Over 109K Hours of Continuous Video Recording

ATPs New High-Endurance, Low-Latency SD_microSD Cards_S750_S650

S650 Series in native TLC surpasses other cards with 1.6X higher endurance;
S750 Series in pSLC mode achieves 2X higher endurance

TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  ATP Electronics, the global leader in specialized storage and memory solutions, introduces its new 3D triple level cell (TLC) S750/S650 Series SD and microSD memory cards built for the rigors of non-stop video recording. They meet the high endurance, low latency, and built-to-last data storage requirements of dashcams and digital video recorders (DVRs), as well as surveillance systems, autonomous vehicles, and other write-intensive applications.

High Endurance Over 109K Hours1 of Recording Time in Native TLC
Video evidence can prove critical in many scenarios; hence, it is very important for SD/microSD cards to record non-stop without compromising image quality and integrity. The S650 Series can record Full HD videos continuously up to 109,401 hours — far longer than similar cards marketed as “high endurance.” The S650 Series is based on 5K program/erase (P/E) cycles, which translate to 1.6X higher endurance than typical memory cards with 3K P/E cycles. The S750 Series, configured as pseudo single-level cell (pSLC) is based on 60K P/E cycles, while typical pSLC memory cards are rated for around 20K to 30K P/E cycles.

Comparison for high Endurance Maximum Recording Hours: ATP S650 vs. Other High-Endurance Cards

High-Endurance-Maximum-Recording-Hours-ATP-S650-vs-Other-High-Endurance-Cards

The following graph2 shows the endurance simulation result of ATP S650 128 GB microSD compared with other high-endurance branded cards of the same capacity, in full HD mode.

High Endurance Maximum Recording Hours: ATP S650 vs. Other High-Endurance Cards
——————
Notes:
1 Tested using 128 GB ATP S650 TLC card based on 13 Mbps (lowest bitrate of HD recording) in best-case/ideal scenario, with no other influencing factors.
2 Information sourced by ATP from publicly available data.

  • To record new data, the oldest data will be overwritten when the card is full.
  • 1Mbps=1,000,000 bps

Low Latency: Ready to Record in <1 Second, Writes 50% Faster
After power on, drive recorders may have to wait a few seconds to be ready for recording. The time between the first read command and the first write command from host is the “response time.” ATP S650 and S750 Series cards take less than 1 second response time while normal cards may take 7 to 12 seconds based on real tests on a DVR at room temperature.

While recording 16 MB data sequentially, ATP S650 cards take less than 0.1 second, saving 50% of writing time compared with consumer-rated cards and enabling high-speed backup without data loss.

Own HW/FW Design Features Offer Precise Reliability
As a true manufacturer with its own hardware/firmware capability, ATP can adjust to a variety of usages to fulfill customers’ specific application requirements and conditions. Based on customers’ applications, ATP does its best to meet the requirements by unique FW and HW design.

  • Auto-Read Calibration (ARC). Over time and with constant use, NAND flash memory cells degrade, causing voltage shifts that increase bit error rates (BER). When the normal Read Retry function is not enough to recover the errors, a more precise “Auto Read Calibration” (ARC) is applied to assure data integrity at extreme temperature or degraded NAND cells.
  • ATP Methodology for Advanced Card Analysis. ATP memory cards are IP67/IP57-certified and manufactured using System-in-Package (SiP) wafer/die process, making it difficult to do component analysis compared to SMT (surface- mount technology) process. ATP’s uniquely designed substrate and debug tool make this mission “possible.”
    1. ATP-Developed Hardware Design – Substrate with reserved testing pin is available for future component analysis.
    2. Solder Mask Removal by Laser – Precise and efficient method to remove solder mask so as to reach the reserved testing pins on the substrate.
    3. ATP’s Own Customized Debug Tool – This is connected to the HW reserved testing pin and then linked to the SW analysis system.
