The official match ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will feature advanced built-in tracking technology that requires charging before each game.

Equipped with an internal sensor, the ball can monitor every touch, movement, and position in real time. Working in coordination with 12 stadium cameras, the system collects player and ball data up to 50 times per second, helping VAR officials make more accurate offside and goal-line decisions.

Unlike the 2022 version, the sensor is now embedded directly into a panel of the ball, while remaining lightweight and virtually undetectable to players.

The world's most poisonous snake can kill even an elephant, but there is one animal that survives, the horse!

Did you know? No matter how deadly a snake is, even the fearsome king cobra, a horse doesn't die from its bite.

After the bite, the horse may become mildly ill for about three days, but then recover completely, as if nothing had happened.

This is one of nature's most incredible wonders, and hidden within this very creature lies a secret that can save human lives: the antidote.

But how is this antivenom made?

First, the venom is collected from the snakes.

A small amount is then injected into the horse.

The horse's immune system responds and produces antibodies to neutralize the venom.

After 2-3 days, these antibodies are present in the horse's blood.

Blood is then drawn from the horse and the red blood cells (RBCs) are removed.

The plasma (the white part) is processed to create antivenom.

This antivenom is then injected into people who have been bitten by poisonous snakes to save their lives.

In India alone, there are numerous antivenom manufacturing facilities where hundreds of horses are cared for to produce this life-saving serum.

Think about it, thanks to this gentle creature, we are protected from some of the deadliest poisons on earth.

Without horses, many lives would be lost from a single snake bite.

PIA's legendary Air Hostess Momi Gul Durrani (left) with Air Hostess Rashida photographed aboard a PIA Boeing 720-040B after arriving at Karachi Airport from London in August 1962. The two Air Hostesses are holding twin babies Fahim Ahmed and Susane Ifrah. Born on March 11, 1962, the twin babies, a girl and a boy, became the jet travellers at the early age of 5 months by undertaking 4,500 miles journey by air unaccompanied by their parents. They arrived in Karachi on a PIA flight from London and took the connecting flight to Rawalpindi twenty minutes later, adding another 700 miles to their flight log.

Their parents had to stay back in England to pursue their medical studies.

Nestling in their parents' laps, the twins reported at London Airport PIA traffic counter at 12 noon to catch PIA's Boeing 720B which took off on its flight to Karachi an hour later. The twins remained in the custody of PIA Air Hostesses Momi Gul Durrani and Rashida throughout their flight between London and Karachi.

Twenty minutes after landing in Karachi the twins were transferred to the care of another pair of Air Hostesses who looked after the twins on the second lap of their flight to Rawalpindi.

Momi was one of PIA's highly trained cabin crew members of 1950s and 1960s. She was tall, fair with film-star looks and PIA had featured her in its many advertisements. The advertisements made Momi perhaps the most easily recognized #PIA Air Hostess of her time. On May 20, 1965, Momi was on duty aboard PIA Boeing 720B jetliner which crashed near Cairo Airport. Sadly, 114 people, including Momi, died in this tragic accident.

On my way back from work today, I made an unannounced, surprise visit to Mochi Gate and was pleasantly surprised to see the IG Police, DIG Operations, Traffic Head, Commissioner, and DC Lahore all present on site, personally monitoring and overseeing arrangements for a safe Basant. This is what it looks like when a government truly cares.

Lemme know if you feel the same way.

X feels overloaded with fake news, deepfakes, bots, propaganda, smears, insults, ego, and contradiction.
Even disturbing images pop up uninvited, more to provoke than to inform.

Yes, there is brilliance too. Real voices. Real issues.
But too often, what’s loud rises over what’s true.

Human evolution was meant to move us toward awareness, empathy, and clarity, not constant agitation, mental noise, fear and false narratives.
Sometimes it honestly feels like kids fighting in school over things that may not even matter in the larger scheme of life.

So maybe it’s time to step back.
Cut the screen time. Put the phone in a drawer.
Talk to real people without looking at your phone.
Read a book. Draw. Write with a pen.

Progress isn’t volume.
It’s depth.

British swimmer Rob Howens was in the water with his young daughter off New Zealand’s North Island when a pod of dolphins unexpectedly encircled them.

According to eyewitnesses and lifeguards, the dolphins formed a tight circle around the pair, repeatedly guiding them back toward shore. Soon after, a great white shark—estimated to be about three meters long—was seen nearby.

For roughly 30 to 40 minutes, the dolphins held their formation, using tail slaps and sudden bursts of movement to deter the shark. They only broke away once it swam off, allowing the swimmers to return safely. The encounter is often referenced as a powerful example of dolphins’ social intelligence and coordinated protective behavior toward humans.

Gul Plaza was not just a shopping center, it was a cultural icon of Karachi.
The exact number of lives lost in the fire may never be fully known, but the scale of loss is heartbreaking:
• 1,200 shops destroyed
• $20–25 million worth of stock reduced to ashes
• Nearly $100 million in total value burned
This is a colossal tragedy for Karachi’s traders and for the city itself.
May Allah SWT grant sabr to the affected families and bless them with better days ahead.

[Developing Pakistan @developingpak]

In 1983, a Pakistani engineer made a contribution that would go on to become a global reference point in industrial planning and optimization.

Muhammad Nawaz, an alumnus of University of Engineering and Technology Lahore and Penn State University, developed what is known as the NEH (Nawaz–Enscore–Ham) algorithm, a practical method designed to help organizations determine the most efficient order in which tasks should be carried out.

The strength of the NEH algorithm lies in its simplicity. By intelligently sequencing work, it enables systems to reduce delays, save resources, and improve overall efficiency. Over time, its application has extended well beyond manufacturing and is now studied and applied across diverse fields such as logistics, health operations, cloud computing, and communications.

More than four decades later, the NEH algorithm remains:
• Part of university curricula worldwide
• Used in production and scheduling environments
• Referenced in academic and professional research

Within the field of scheduling, it is widely recognized as a benchmark method, often used to evaluate and compare newer approaches.

Notably, very few Pakistanis have scientific methods or algorithms formally named after them, making the NEH algorithm a rare and lasting distinction.

The nation pays tribute to Muhammad Nawaz for a contribution that has earned lasting recognition in global scientific research, one of the few instances where a Pakistani’s work is formally named and embedded in global engineering and scientific literature.

I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.

Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don’t like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.

Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won’t be quick and you might feel foolish for a while. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else.

A few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe you'll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully.
