New Delhi: More than five years after his arrest, a Christian mechanic booked on the charges of blasphemy was sentenced to death by a Lahore court Monday. Still has been in jail since 2017 and his case riddled with adjournments. The accused, who has a wife and a daughter, also lost his mother in 2019 while he was behind the bars.

According to reports, in June 2017, Masih got into a dispute with a Muslim customer in Lahore after he repaired the latter’s bike. When Still asked for payment, the customer did not pay the entire amount and asked for a waiver on grounds that he was a religious devotee. Still refused the request, saying he believed in Christ. The issue of money led to a heated argument and a crowd gathered, accusing Masih of “disrespecting” the Prophet Muhammad. The mechanic had allegedly said that for Christians, Jesus was supreme.

A Christian mechanic has been sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan after he was found guilty of insulting the Prophet Mohammed by saying that Jesus Christ is the ‘true prophet’.

Ashfaq Masih, 34, was arrested in 2017 after he got into a verbal disagreement with a Muslim customer at his motorbike repair shop in Lahore after the man refused to pay his bill.

The customer had asked for a waiver on the grounds that he was a religious devotee – but Still refused the request, saying he believed in Jesus Christ and wasn’t interested in the man’s religious status as a Muslim.

MONTREAL/BENGALURU, July 15 (Reuters) – Christophe Gagnon considered quitting his avionics studies as COVID-19 crippled aviation, but the 21-year-old stayed in class and now the industry is desperate for more like him to keep planes flying.

Two years after lockdowns nearly grounded the airline industry, repair shops and suppliers are scrambling for students like Gagnon, who received multiple job offers while still at the cole nationale d’aérotechnique (ÉNA) in Canada’s aerospace hub, Quebec.

The hiring rush is evidence of a sharper than expected recovery in air travel, but also signals a looming labor shortage that is raising costs and could push up repair times as the industry stages an awkward recovery from its worst crisis. Shortages are on the minds of executives at the Farnborough Airshow near London, this year’s largest aerospace expo, which starts on July 18.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — If you’ve caught a ride on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR), you know it’s the volunteers that keep things on track. Like the thousands of volunteers within the CVSR network, Chip Redding has a one-track mind fueled by his passion for train and giving back.

Despite being retired, Redding, a former NASA engineer, refuses to be derailed from staying productive. He spends the majority of his time volunteering at the railroad station.

“I’m busier now than I was working…II actually retired on January 3 in 2020. January 4 I was working at the science center as a volunteer,” he said. “I come three days a week typically, sometimes a little more…Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are my days to come to the train.”

Redding is one of the mechanics on board ensuring the historic trains continue to run properly.

“I do a lot of the machining,” he

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has revealed its brand new battle mechanic. The new Pokemon games, due out later this year, will feature the Terastal Phenomenon, a new mechanic that causes Pokemon to literally crystallize and gain a large crown-like jewel to appear on top of their head. Terrastallization not only blings out a Pokemon, it also causes attacks of a certain type to receive a boost. Which type of attack receives that boost is determined by a Pokemon’s “Tera Type.” While most Pokemon have a Tera Type that matches their normal typing (ie, most Pikachu will have an Electric Tera Type), some Pokemon will have deviating Tera Types that offer more strategies in battle.

Players can Terastallize any Pokemon using a Tera Orb, which they assumably receive over the course of the game. Terastallization lasts for the course of a battle and players will need to recharge their Tera Orb
