So, this GRADES project is a super cool way to give all the kids in Punjab a fair shot at a great education. It’s like giving them a key to unlock a whole world of learning and possibilities!

The Majority of Fish Oil Supplements Fail to give claimed Health benefits
The majority of fish oil supplements sold in the United States make health claims that may not be supported by scientific evidence, according to a new study. Fish oil is one of many supplements circulating in health food stores, and consumers often share their successes with this product online. Despite the many health claims surrounding fish oil, the positive effects on joints, eyes, heart, and skin are some of the benefits that are often mentioned. But anecdotal evidence is not synonymous with scientific research. A team of researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSMC) in Dallas, Texas, sought to clear up consumer confusion about whether fish oil has a positive impact on heart health. or not. Ann Marie Navar, MD, PhD, study author and associate professor of cardiology at UTSMC, told Health that although consumers trust fish oil, there is little clinical data confirming its benefits for with the heart health of most people. “Unfortunately, a number of large, randomized, placebo-controlled, high-quality trials conducted since then have shown no benefit to the general population,” she said. common in the prevention of heart disease”. However, many supplement companies continue to make fish oil pills and liquids that are said to have positive effects on heart health. Research shows that while these claims are technically legitimate, they are largely inaccurate.1 Ultimately, research like this could lead to increased regulation by the FDA or other public health agencies to prevent consumer misinformation.

Types of Mangoes and their Craving in Summer
Mangoes are Pakistan’s only hope during the sweltering summers. We anticipate enjoying ice-cold mangoes kept in the refrigerator or in a bowl of chilly water in the freezer in May, June, and July as the days get longer and hotter. Mothers are tasked with storing the ripe and unripe mangoes strategically so that the ripe ones are consumed first and the unripe ones can rest for a few more days in the box before being moved into cold storage. Fathers bring boxes full of ripe and unripe mangoes home. The great mango dispute frequently revolves around graft-grown (qalmi) mangoes, which are more widely available commercially and are known to be fleshier and sweeter than seed-grown (tukhmi) mangoes. Mangoes are a delicate fruit that quickly blemishes. Because of this, they are harvested from trees when they are still largely unripe and placed in wooden crates where they age over time while being transported, sold, and stored. To avoid additional ripening and eventual deterioration, it is advisable to store them in cool temperatures after they have ripened. Here are some of the locally cultivated and beloved mango kinds that are most renowned. Green but ripe langra Although it’s unclear why a mango would be given the moniker langra, which means “lame” in Urdu, langra is typically the first of its friends to arrive at the market. Langra is a product of South Punjab, a wealthy region, where it was raised. Langra is a product that is native to the areas surrounding Rahim Yar Khan and Multan, and it is sold there throughout the months of May, June, and July. Its delicate skin, which doesn’t turn the distinctive yellow mangoes are known for until they are fully ripe, allows it to stand out among such a diverse array of mangoes. Anwar Ratol, the little king Anwar Ratol, another gem in Punjab’s crown, debuts on the market twice, once in May and again between July and August. Ratol is what I refer to as nature’s candy because I’ve never encountered one that wasn’t overly sweet. In fact, I find its sweetness to be very overpowering because I don’t really have a sweet tooth. But I’m aware People who, because to its distinctive fragrance, taste, and small size, simply lose track of how many they’ve consumed at a time. Chaunsa is the finest The subtle differences in the sweetness and fibre content of these four types of this delectable mango are only apparent to a true chaunsa aficionado. Due to its outstanding sweetness and juice-running-down-the-arm qualities, it would not be an unreasonable assertion to say that chaunsa is one of the most beloved mangoes, not just in Pakistan but also throughout the world. It simply doesn’t get any better than this, I’m telling you. Sindh’s special,Sindhri The Sindhi, which originated in the same-named town in the district of Mirpurkhas and frequently grows to be larger than the normal hand, is the pride of Sindh. In addition to its larger-than-average size, sindhri is renowned for its distinctive smell and the distinctive yellow colour that covers its sparsely fibrous flesh, which can range from deliciously acidic to delicately sweet during Dussehri, which brings out the little firearms. Dussehri…a small treat Round and petite dussehri mangoes enter the market during the first two weeks of July and replace almost every type of dessert in Pakistan. The Mirpurkhas and Hyderabad districts of Sindh are where these mangoes are mostly grown. Despite their diminutive size, dussehris have the juiciest, pulpiest flavour and pleasure their customers for an unfairly brief period of time. Mangoes are a symbol of the fragile equilibrium of our ecosystems, the beautiful individuality of each leaf and fruit that occurs in nature, and most importantly, Thanks to nature take care of the environment that supports us in such amazingly sweet ways.

“Exploring the Courageous Tale of Pakistan’s Christian Minority through Babar Ali’s Debut Film ‘JOHN'”
JOHN, the first film by director Baber Ali, tells the tale of a young Karachi resident who belongs to the Christian minority. The injustice the Christian community encounters on a daily basis is discussed in the movie along with gangs and target killings. It is accurate enough to qualify as a genuine study of the hostile and occasionally dismal environment Pakistani Christians are raised in. ‘JOHN’ is forced to make decisions throughout the movie in order to live and prosper in Karachi’s competitive atmosphere. He discovers that his aspirations to become a musician and his existence as a common sweeper and marginalized Christian are at odds. Instead, he must choose between accepting fate and participating in Karachi’s game of chance. Following a tragedy that disrupts his world. He joins the hitman Dawood and sets out on his journey. Babar Ali, the director, did a respectable job. The storyline of JOHN is too similar to those of many other crime thrillers. In my opinion, the movie doesn’t actually support the main character’s faith all that much. Yes, there are specifics, such as how Christians are considered as second-class citizens and compelled to work in certain occupations. But the finer points of a Christian’s existence in Pakistan could have been useful to include in the screenplay. Nothing in the movie “JOHN” comes off as a shocker because most people are aware of how Christians are treated in Pakistan. The performances are what set ‘JOHN’ apart from Pakistan’s typical fare such as; Aashir Wajahat Aashir Wajahat does a passable job as John, although he’s only , although he is only now beginning to discover his talents. His voice and body language, which rather well matches that of a street kid, are his strong suits. He sings “Tu Theher Ja,” a song he performs for his mother, inadvertently in an empty classroom, and it’s a lovely scenario. Saleem Meiraj As always, Saleem Meiraj excels in his role as the hitman Dawood. He plays his role with perfection. Raza Samo Raza Samo is flawless as Fazal. He offers some lighthearted relief and some much-needed pauses in the otherwise cynical film. Romaisa Khan The most surprising performance, nevertheless, belongs to Romaisa Khan as Maria. She portrays a local school employee who develops feelings for John. Romaisa infuses the part with authenticity. She has a lot of acting potential. Music: ‘JOHN’ has a musical quality that goes well beyond that of the majority of current Pakistani films. There isn’t a lot of cinema music in Pakistani films worth discussing about, except from a few masterpieces like “Kamli.” With songs like “Tu Theher Ja,” “Chitthiyaan,” and “Tu Who Qaatil Hai,” “JOHN” emerges and destroys the competition.
