NASA scientists caught a space rock from another star system cruising through our cosmic neighborhood. The Atlas telescope in Chile spotted the fast-moving visitor during the first days of July. This marks the third alien object astronomers have seen wandering into our solar system from deep space.
The icy chunk poses zero danger to Earth as it races toward the sun at a mind-blowing 37 miles per second. Scientists estimate the comet has been flying through the galaxy for hundreds of millions of years before arriving here. Paul Chodas from NASA's Near Earth Object Studies center says nobody knows which star originally launched this space traveler.
The comet currently sits about 416 million miles away from the sun near Jupiter's orbit...
Pakistan's military gunned down 30 fighters who tried sneaking across the border from Afghanistan during three wild days of combat. The deadly showdown happened right after terrorists blew up 16 Pakistani soldiers with a suicide bomb attack. Army chiefs say the dead fighters worked for Pakistan Taliban groups that take orders from India. Military commanders grabbed loads of weapons and explosives from the bodies.
The bloodbath went down around North Waziristan where Pakistan Taliban gangs love causing trouble. Pakistani leaders keep pointing fingers at Afghanistan for letting these terror groups set up camp on their land. India gets blamed even more for secretly funding and training the militants who attack Pakistani forces. Both...
A major drug company from Switzerland finds itself caught up in a messy government website scandal that has investors crying foul. Novartis Bangladesh Limited vanished completely from the official business registration portal without any warning or explanation from authorities.

Legal experts are calling this move totally illegal and way beyond what registration officials should be doing. Foreign investors are screaming about harassment and demanding answers from Bangladesh officials.
The company tried to fix the problem by sending two separate letters to government offices in late June. Both letters explained that no lawsuits or legal...
Cricket legend Sanath Jayasuriya reveals his batting secrets came from playing street cricket as a kid. The Sri Lankan star developed his aggressive style naturally through games on beaches and in gardens around his hometown. His unique approach made him stand out from other players who followed traditional techniques. Coaches noticed his different method and decided to move him up the batting order. This risky decision could have ended his career before it started.
Jayasuriya admits he failed badly at first when opening the batting. He had never faced new ball bowlers at the start of innings before this challenge. Support from senior players like Duleep Mendis and Arjuna Ranatunga helped him gain confidence. These mentors pushed him...

University bosses refuse to fix these gross problems despite constant student complaints.
External contractors run the cafeteria operations after winning bids from hall authorities. These food suppliers pay between 3,500 and 4,000 taka each month for utilities like electricity and water. House tutors receive orders to watch over food preparation but rarely check what happens behind kitchen doors. Students say supervisors never answer phone...
