New Dating App May Help You and Your Dog Find Love

A new app that allows dog owners to connect and perhaps find love for themselves and their pooches has been developed.

Tindog is the first social app for dog lovers who want to connect with other owners nearby that share a similar passion for canines, according to its developer Holidog, an online marketplace for pet services.

The app can also help owners socialise their pet and perhaps arrange dog-dates.

The users can create a profile for their pooch on the app and search to find new furry and human friends. They can chat, share photos and create events to connect with other dog lovers in their area.

Based on Global Positioning System (GPS) location, Tindog will suggest nearby matches and - much like Tinder - allows users to swipe left (no) or right (has potential) through recommended profiles.

If both users swipe right, then it's a match and the new friends can chat to learn more or arrange a meet-up.

"Dogs bring so much joy and love, that they really have the power to connect us. That's why we wanted to make it easy for dog lovers to meet new people around them who feel the same way," said Julien Muller, Founder & CEO of Holidog.

"Whether it's building new friendships or even making a love connection, Tindog is a great way to expand your social circle with others who love man's best friend just as much as you do," Muller said.

I have no links with any political leader: Ayyan

RAWALPINDI: For the first time since her arrest, supermodel Ayyan has taken the stand in court to proclaim her innocence, saying she has no connections with any political leader, Express News reported.
“I have not committed any crime,” Ayyan was quoted as telling a customs court on Monday.
Denying allegations that she maintains links with political leaders and was laundering money for them, the supermodel said, “I have no connections with any political leaders.”
“Pakistan is my country after getting bail, I am not going to run away,” she went on to add.
The customs court once again extended Ayyan’s judicial remand and adjourned hearing in the money laundering case till July 11.
Ayyan was expected to be indicted in the money laundering case on Monday. However, the court accepted the defence counsel’s argument that he was not provided with the complete challans pertaining to the case.
During the court proceedings, Ayyan’s counsel, Sardar Latif Khosa, pleaded the court to adjourn the hearing in money laundering case as a bail plea for her release had already been filed in the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, the court adjourned the hearing in the application of Customs intelligence to register a new money laundering case against the suspect till July 16.
Earlier in the day, the model was presented before the court in a police armoured personnel carrier amid strict security.

Eid preparations: Pret wear — a threat to tailors

ISLAMABAD: It is a rather known phenomenon that when Eidul Fitr draws near, Eid shopping gains immense momentum.
Over the years, one business that has been benefiting from high turnover all through Ramazan is that of tailors. However, the trend seems to be changing this year in the capital where people have varied demands and expectations pertaining to their clothes.
Tailors across the twin cities seem to have lost ground to various pret wear clothing options available to women. Catering to different economic segments, readymade clothing stores display their Eid collections way ahead of the big day to attract customers.
The days when tailors had immense workload during Ramazan and started refusing orders from the month’s first week because of pending work are long gone.
“Ready-to-wear has become extremely common these days. People prefer it over the option of buying unstitched cloth and getting it stitched. Readymade kurtas and shirts have not only become common but are in fashion and are considered a status symbol too. This is why the business is suffering,” said Naseer Ahmad a tailor who has a shop in Sector F-11.

In the offing: Gilgit-Baltistan cabinet to be sworn in on Tuesday

GILGIT: A six-member cabinet will be sworn in in Gilgit-Baltistan during an oath-taking ceremony on Tuesday, insiders told The Express Tribune.
The decision comes after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif gave his nod of approval on a summary containing the names of candidates who are likely to be appointed as ministers in the new government. The list had been forwarded to the PM Nawaz by G-B Governor Barjees Tahir.
Meet the cabinet
According to insiders, the prospective ministers are Farman Ali from Astore district, Muhammad Wakil and Janbaz Khan from Diamer district, Ibrahim Sanai from Ghanche district, Dr Muhammad Iqbal from Gilgit and Rani Atika from Hunza.
The governor will administer the oath to the ministers in Gilgit. Rani Atika, wife of Mir Ghazanfar – governor hopeful – is the only minister who was appointed to the assembly on a women’s seat on a PML-N ticket.

Deciding portfolios
According to a party insider, portfolios have been decided but will be disclosed during the oath-taking ceremony. “These details will come to the surface in due course,” he said.
However, another government official said Iqbal will be appointed minister for health while Sanai is expected to become minister for planning.
Phase-wise
Chief Minister Hafeezur Rahman said the formation of government will be completed in two phases. Talking to The Express Tribune earlier this week, Rahman said each district will be given representation in the cabinet to keep a better connection with the people.
“In the first phase, ministers will be appointed while in the second phase advisers will be appointed,” he added.
With 22 seats, PML–N has emerged as the single largest party in G–B in elections held across the region on June 8.

Four soldiers killed as army pushes to finish anti-Taliban offensive

DERA ISMAIL KHAN:
Taliban ambushes killed at least four Pakistani soldiers in the northwest as the military made a new push into the militants’ last major stronghold near the border with Afghanistan, ISPR said on Sunday.

At least four soldiers and 12 militants were killed in a clash on Sunday in troubled tribal belt where the army is fighting a major offensive against Taliban insurgents, the statement said.

The army said the incident took place in the Ghaziza area of Datta Khel town, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of Miramshah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal district which borders Afghanistan.

“Fleeing terrorists also left behind three of their dead bodies. Four soldiers also embraced Shahadat (martyrdom) in the exchange of fire,” it said in a statement.

A security official in the area confirmed the incident and casualties.

The conflict zone is remote and off-limits to journalists making it difficult to verify the army’s claims, including the number and identity of those killed. The military says more than 2,700 militants have been killed since the launch of the major offensive.
