Smartphones can overheat due to external heat sources and prolonged usage. Aluminium foil can act as a temporary heat shield by reflecting sunlight away. This method is most effective in outdoor or high-heat environments like car dashboards. However, completely wrapping the phone or covering ports should be avoided. Better cooling solutions include keeping the device in shade and closing unused applications.

People of Kashmir want an end to vicious cycle of violence: Dy CM

Jammu, Aug 1:Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary on Saturday, while condemning the killing of two migrant labourers in Kulgam, in a sharp dig at the Centre asked if its experiment to abrogate Article 370 in J&K on the premise of ending terrorism failed. He also demanded investigation into terror killings claiming innocent lives, which he claimed witnessed a spurt after the National Conferences statehood protest at Jantar Mantar on July 20. Centre had abrogated Article 370, truncated J&K into two Union Territories asserting that it would end terrorism. However, terror related violence still continues, claiming innocent lives. They (Centre) need to explain if their experiment failed, Choudhary stated, while speaking to media persons here. Asserting that the people of J&K, which has been fighting terrorism for the past more than three decades, want an end to this vicious cycle, the Deputy Chief Minister said, We express our deepest condolences to the bereaved families. But the people here are tired of condemning such incidents. It should end now. If terrorism has ended as it is claimed, why have these killings continued? Where are these militants coming from? It is happening even when the security forces are on high alert in wake of ongoing Amarnath Yatra and upcoming Independence Day, he stated, seeking the setting up of a high-level committee, by the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister, to probe into the killings and identify the culprits. It was also staggering to note that the recent spurt in killings was noticed after NCs statehood protest in the union capital, Choudhary maintained. Seemingly someone does not want it (restoration of statehood) to happen. If Pakistan is behind these killings, the Centre must take stringent action, he stated.

Justice must prevail for people of Mir Bahri: Aga Syed Mujtaba Abbas

Senior leader of the Jammu & Kashmir Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian, Hujjat-ul-Islam Aga Syed Mujtaba Abbas Mosavi Al-Safavi, has expressed grave concern over the continuing hardships faced by the residents of Dal Mir Bahri, stating that any attempt to deprive, marginalise, or deny the community its constitutional and fundamental rights is wholly unacceptable. He reaffirmed that Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian stands firmly with the people of Mir Bahri and will continue to support every peaceful and democratic effort to secure justice, dignity, and equal rights for them. In a statement issued here, Aga Syed Mujtaba said it is deeply regrettable that the people living along the shores of the world-famous Dal Lake continue to suffer from decades of official neglect despite residing in one of Kashmir's most prominent locations. Thousands of families remain deprived of basic civic amenities, including safe drinking water, proper roads, drainage, healthcare, quality education, housing, and other essential public services that are the legitimate right of every citizen. He stressed that genuine development must improve people's lives rather than make them more difficult. Any policy or developmental project that adversely affects the daily lives, livelihoods, mobility, education, healthcare, or traditional rights of local residents must be reviewed with fairness, transparency, and public consultation. Development cannot be meaningful if it comes at the cost of human dignity and public welfare. Aga Syed Mujtaba further observed that while the protection and conservation of Dal Lake is a collective responsibility, environmental preservation must never become a justification for ignoring the legitimate rights and welfare of the indigenous communities that have lived around the lake for generations. Sustainable development, he said, must safeguard both the environment and the rights of the people through balanced, humane, and inclusive policies. Calling upon the Government of Jammu & Kashmir, the Lieutenant Governor's Administration, and all concerned departments, he urged the authorities to immediately address the longstanding grievances of the residents of Mir Bahri through meaningful dialogue and concrete action. He demanded the urgent provision of clean drinking water, improved road connectivity, modern drainage, quality healthcare and educational facilities, and all other essential civic infrastructure, while ensuring that no administrative decision infringes upon the community's constitutional rights, livelihoods, or traditional access. He stated that the true measure of a democratic government lies in its commitment to justice and equitable development, particularly for historically neglected communities. The continued denial of basic public services to the people of Mir Bahri, he said, is a matter of serious concern that requires immediate and effective intervention. Concluding his statement, Aga Syed Mujtaba Abbas declared that the people of Dal Mir Bahri are not alone. Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with them until their legitimate rights are protected and they receive the justice, dignity, development, and equal opportunities guaranteed to every citizen under the Constitution. He expressed hope that the Government would act with sensitivity, fairness, and resolve to restore public confidence and ensure that the people of Mir Bahri become equal partners in the region's development rather than its forgotten victims.

Psychology says people who never apologize even if they are at fault aren't necessarily rude or careless: What this behavior reveals?

Psychology says people who are never apologize even if they are at fault aren't always simply rude or careless. Their behaviour can be linked to defensiveness, fear of blame, self-image, difficulty accepting responsibility, or a different view of what happened. Research on apologies shows that admitting wrongdoing can affect relationships, responsibility, trust and conflict. Understanding these reasons can help explain why some people avoid saying sorry.
