He had been taken to a a cave in and was blown up with dynamite. He had eaten figs before he was blown up, and the seeds of it in his stomach had grown and turned into a tree that identified him.

Everything seems favourable and no apparent hinderance is seen in the way of building of Kalabagh Dam in New Pakistan. It is the time to start working on the construction of Kalabagh dam, which is the symbol of prosperity of Pakistan. The present favorable situation never occurred in Pakistan. No ally of government in the center is opposed to its construction, PTI rules in Punjab, while PML-N being a party from Punjab will never openly oppose the building of Kalabagh Dam. Center, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtoon Khaw are on one page due to PTI's government there. In the past the strong opposition had been from KPK by ANP, but it is so weak now that it can not create any difficult situation. In Balochistan, past government have been passing resolutions and issueing harsh statements against the construction of Kalabagh Dam. While patriot party (BAP) is ruling in Balochistan, it will stand by the side of federal government. The political strength of nationalists in Balochistan has vanished. There seems no strong opposition from Balochistan. PPP has its government in Sindh, it will continue its opposition but due to money laundering cases against him and the fear of slipping rule of Sindh from PPP's hands its' voice will be too weak. So Allah has bestowed chance of construction of Kalabagh Dam to Imran Khan and fulfill the dream of VIPs like honorable chief justice. Go ahead Imran Khan nation is with you and CJ.

**-- Eat more calories to lose weight**--
Carbohydrates on their own may do nothing but spike your blood sugar, leaving you even hungrier than before. Adding proteins and fats like peanut butter and cheese will increase the calorie count of your meal, but will help you get full more quickly and stay satisfied for longer, which will lead to ingesting fewer calories in the long run.
**-- Drink a hot beverage to help you cool off**--
In India it is the norm to drink hot tea in hot weather. It sounds crazy, but according to a study, a hot drink on a hot day will cool you off faster than a cold drink. When you drink a hot beverage, your body produces more sweat which, when it evaporates, cools you off.
**-- Exercise to increase your energy levels**--
After a long day at work, exercise is probably the last thing you want to do, but getting moving can actually energise you. Through exercise, we recharge tired cells by giving them more oxygen. Physical activity that builds muscle strength also improves the efficiency of the mitochondria that produce the energy in the cells.
**-- 'Freeze' cardiac patients to save their life**--
Cooling a cardiac arrest patient's core temperature to below 32.2 degrees Celsius – a process called “induced hypothermia”, either by injecting them with a cold saline solution or placing ice packs on them increases their chances of complete recovery.
Hypothermia – when your core body temperature drops so low that normal metabolism and bodily functions cease – can lead to death, but can also radically slow down the dying process.
**-- Close the lid when you flush the toilet**--
You should always flush the toilet with the seat down. If you don't, water particles from the toilet will float around your bathroom and finally land on surfaces like your toothbrush.
Experts say flushing creates an invisible cloud, called “toilet plume”, that’s expelled into the air by the force of the flush.
The toilet plume may contain faecal bacteria and other microorganisms like viruses.

“The pre-qualification bids will be evaluated in accordance with the bid documents and the relevant procurement rules of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) and the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC),” the statement said.
Soldiers contribute Rs1b towards dam drive
Diamer Bhasha Dam is a multipurpose project meant for water storage, flood mitigation and power generation. The project will be constructed across the River Indus about 40 kilometer downstream of Chillas town. The 272-metre high roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam will have a gross water storage capacity of 8.1 million acre feet (MAF).
The project will generate 4,500 megawatt electricity with annual energy generation of more than 18 billion units of low-cost and environment-friendly electricity. With the construction of the dam, life of the Tarbela Dam will enhance to another 35 years.
It will also have a positive impact on the annual energy generation of the projects in the downstream areas. It is estimated that the annual energy generation of the existing hydel power stations including Tarbela, Ghazi Barotha, Jinnah and Chashma will increase by about 2.5 billion per annum.
The annual energy generation of the future hydropower projects including Dasu, Pattan and Thakot will also surge by another 7.5 billion units.

Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific ocean after an attempted round-the world flight. Her last radio activity was received on June 2, 1937, after which she completely lost her touch wiith base. A rescue mission led by US navy and Coasr Guard soon ensued.
Despite costly and lengthy search (which also included a self-funded mission by Earhat's husband, George Putnam), no wreckage 0r evidence of Earhart was ever found. She was declared legally dead two years later, but theories about her disappearance persist to this date They range from the logical (that her plane ran out of fuel) to the absurd (that she was a CIA agent who was captured by Japanese forces).

It seems wat,like they were right, since the travel blogger's instagram handle is currently filled with some breath-taking pictures of stunning locals she had visited around the country.
**-- Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa:-
She wrote, This dress (Pic below) has become a small symbol of generosity I experience everyday in Pakistan. Before driving for trip, I wanted to pop by a local shop and buy a shawl. . But the shawl she liked was a part of three piece suit. Just as she was about to leave, the shop keeper offered her offered her to let her rent the whole ensemble for a day and refused to accept money. He said he did not want the money. He was simply happy to see that foreign girl-me- could enjoy a piece of local culture. I find that incredible: he could have made easy money on me, yet he chose not to. Such simple generosity. I showed him the photos we took in the dress. His lips streched from ear to ear in a bright smile. On the way back from the shop to hotel , the driver turned around and said," you see , our name has been tarnished but we are good people".
Eva Zu Beck visited Lahore, Punjab, Miandam, KPK, Hunza, Norther Areas, Karach, Sindh, and Naltar valley. Gilgat Baltistan and took beautiful pictures of beautiful Pakistan that she save in her instagram. Thank you Eza, we are truly grateful for everything you have done.
creaking knees, wrinkles and getting closer to death every single day-age is no friend of human body. But an extraordinary new anti-aging technique promises to slow down the process.In fact, it can see human live to 150 and also allow then to regrow their organs by 2020. Harvard professor David Sinclair and researchers from the University of New South Wales developed a new process to slow down aging. The technique which involves reprogramming cells, can not only allow people to regenerate their organs but also allow paralysis sufferers to move again, with human trials due within two years. It was found in the same research that lifespan of mice could be increased y 10 % by giving them a vitamin B derivative pill. In what is both good news and groundbreaking. It also observed that the pill led to a reduction in age related hair loss. Science behind the pill involves the molecule Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), which is believed to be capable of generating energy in human body. The chemical is already used as a supplement for treating Parkin's didease and Fighting jet leg. Professor Siclair, who is using his own molecule to reduce aging said thar his biological age has reduced by 24 years after taking the pill. His father 79, has taken to adventure sports such as white water rafting and backpacking after he started using the molecule a year and a half ago. In case you are not convinced of this molecule yet, his sister-in-law gained her fertility back after taking the treatment, despite having started to transition into menopause in her 40s. Regarding the availability of the pill to the general public and its cost, it is expected to be available to public within five years and cost the same each day as a cup of coffee.
