<p>Irish politician and higher education minister, Simon Harris, who had been a prominent figure in the Fine Gael party, is poised to take on the role of Ireland's prime minister and will be the youngest in the office as the leadership contest concluded with him emerging as the sole candidate. He has been a Teachta Dala (TD), which is a member of the lower house of the Oireachtas (the Irish Parliament).</p>

<p>Harris has held various ministerial positions within the Irish government, including the Minister for Health and Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation, and Science.</p>

<p>Notably, the vacancy in leadership arose following the unexpected resignation of Taoiseach (Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland) Leo Varadkar.</p>

<p>Citing "personal and political reasons" just last week, Varadkar, who is partly Indian, had said,&nbsp;“I believe a new taoiseach will be better placed than me to achieve that – to renew and strengthen the top team, to refocus our message and policies, and to drive implementation. After seven years in office, I am no longer the best person for that job.”</p>

Simon Harris set to become Ireland’s youngest PM

<p>As India's general elections approach, the political atmosphere in&nbsp;the Lok Sabha constituency of Varanasi has reached a fever pitch&nbsp;with the announcement of Congress leader Ajay Rai's candidacy against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the third consecutive time.</p>

<p>The stage is set for a riveting contest between two seasoned contenders. Each of them speaks of a deep-rooted connection to the ancient city of Kashi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ajay Rai as he went to Varanasi on Sunday (Mar 24), said, "...I am from Kashi and I am well aware of every street, house, and person in Kashi. The time will tell whether the BJP will cross 10 lakh votes or will lose by 10 lakh votes."</p>

<p>When Modi, on May 14, 2014, selected Varanasi as his constituency for the first time, he referred to himself as a "Kashi vaasi" (Resident of Kashi) and conveyed an emotional message to the people.</p>

<p>Rai, a stalwart in Uttar Pradesh politics and the head of Congress party's&nbsp;state unit has once again challenged PM Modi in his bastion.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Ajay Rai?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Despite suffering defeat in the previous two electoral bouts against PM Modi, Rai's is again throwing his hat in the ring.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rai began his political journey with the Bharatiya Janata Party's youth wing ABVP before traversing through the corridors of the BJP. His electoral triumphs in the UP legislative assembly elections cemented his stature within the saffron party.</p>

<p>Rai switched allegiance to the Samajwadi Party and continued his electoral pursuits, vying against BJP's Murli Manohar Joshi in a closely contested battle for Varanasi's parliamentary seat. The electorate favoured Joshi over Rai and other contenders and the then-SP leader lost. At the time, mafia don-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari had secured second place and Rai third.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rai's eventually joined&nbsp;the Congress party in 2012. Winning the Pindra seat in Varanasi bolstered his association with the party. However, electoral fortunes fluctuated, with Rai tasting defeat in 2017 state polls.</p>

<h2><strong>Battle with PM Modi&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Rai first contested against PM Modi in 2014. However,&nbsp;Modi won the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat by defeating his rival SP's Shalini Yadav. Ajay Rai secured third position with&nbsp;14.38 per cent vote share in comparison to PM Modi's 63.62 per cent vote share.</p>

<p>NASA’s compact satellite BurstCube has embarked on its journey to the International Space Station,&nbsp;laboratory for scientific research.&nbsp;The spacecraft hitched a ride aboard SpaceX’s 30th Commercial Resupply Services mission.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was launched at 4:55 pm EDT on Thursday (Mar 21) from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, US.&nbsp;BurstCube is a NASA mission designed to detect and locate gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).</p>

<p>GRBs are powerful explosions that occur in distant galaxies and are among the most energetic events in the universe. BurstCube is aiming to study these bursts to better understand their origins and properties.</p>

<p>Upon reaching the station, BurstCube will be unpacked and subsequently deployed into orbit.&nbsp;</p>

NASA’s shoebox-sized ‘BurstCube’ satellite set to study short gamma-ray bursts

<p>Mysteries abound and wonders never cease in the vast expanse of space. NASA has once again captivated the world with a mesmerising glimpse into the cosmos. This time, it wasn't just any celestial marvel but a striking portrait of planetary companionship - Pluto and its planetary bestie and moon, Charon.</p>

<p>Shared by NASA on its social media handle, the image was captured by the New Horizons spacecraft just before its closest encounter with Pluto on July 14, 2015. NASA also accompanied the post with a caption and shared that the besties are "sometimes referred to as a double dwarf planet system."</p>

<p>"Charon is the largest of Pluto's five moons – Charon is 754 miles (1,214 km) across, and Pluto is about 1,400 miles wide. The distance between them is 12,200 miles (19,640 km)," NASA said in the caption of the post.</p>

<p>But it's not just their proportions that intrigue scientists. The post also shared a remarkable phenomenon - mutual tidal locking. "The same surfaces of Charon and Pluto always face each other," NASA explained, highlighting that it is called&nbsp;"a phenomenon called mutual tidal locking."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Describing the image itself, NASA detailed the features of Charon, depicting its predominantly grey surface with a reddish north polar region, countless impact craters, and a distinctive ridge dividing its terrain.</p>

Mysteries abound and wonders never cease in the vast expanse of space. NASA has once again captivated the world with a mesmerising glimpse into the cosmos. This time, it wasn't just any celestial marvel but a striking portrait of planetary companionship - Pluto and its planetary bestie and moon, Charon. Shared by NASA on its social media handle, the image was captured by the New Horizons spacecraft just before its closest encounter with Pluto on July 14, 2015. NASA also accompanied the post with a caption and shared that the besties are "sometimes referred to as a double dwarf planet system." "Charon is the largest of Pluto's five moons – Charon is 754 miles (1,214 km) across, and Pluto is about 1,400 miles wide. The distance between them is 12,200 miles (19,640 km)," NASA said in the caption of the post. Also Read | Water plumes collected from Jupiter’s moon Europa may bear signs of alien life But it's not just their proportions that intrigue scientists. The post also shared a remarkable phenomenon - mutual tidal locking. "The same surfaces of Charon and Pluto always face each other," NASA explained, highlighting that it is called "a phenomenon called mutual tidal locking." Describing the image itself, NASA detailed the features of Charon, depicting its predominantly grey surface with a reddish north polar region, countless impact craters, and a distinctive ridge dividing its terrain.

Charon, Pluto’s planetary bestie goes viral as NASA shares stunning snapshot

Schedule regular trims to remove split ends. Trimming every 6-8 weeks can help maintain the overall health of your hair.


Invest in a high-quality deep conditioning treatment or hair mask. Deep conditioning helps to hydrate and nourish the hair.


Excessive heat styling with tools like blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons can cause damage to your hair over time and hence should be sparely used.


Opt for gentle shampoos formulated for damaged hair. Harsh chemicals can strip the hair of its natural oils.

Protect your hair from sun exposure, chlorine from swimming pools, and harsh weather conditions.


5 Tips to Repair Damaged Hair

Mix henna powder with water to form a paste, and then apply it to dry hair. Henna impart a reddish tint colour to your hair.

Indigo powder, derived from the indigofera plant, is another natural option. Indigo produces more of a bluish-black tone.

Brew a strong pot of tea and allow it to cool. Then, pour the tea over clean, damp hair or use it as a rinse after shampooing.

Brew a strong pot of coffee, allow it to cool, and then apply it to damp hair. Leave the coffee in your hair for some time before rinsing it out.

Boil Walnut shells’ powder in water and allow the mixture to cool, strain out the solids, and then apply the liquid to damp hair.

Trump to make over $3bn as Digital World shareholders approve merger deal with his media venture

<p>A group of US units, famously known as the "Ghost Army," has been recognised for their clever decoy tactics and saving countless lives. The "Ghost Army" was a unique and highly classified unit of the United States Army during World War II. Officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, this unit was composed of individuals who were tasked with creating deception to mislead the enemy.</p>

<p>Their primary role was to use inflatable tanks, trucks, and aircraft to create the appearance of a much larger Allied force than existed. The idea was to deceive German forces about the location and strength of Allied units, thereby drawing attention away from real military operations and confusing enemy intelligence.</p>

<p>The Ghost Army participated in various operations throughout Europe, including the D-Day landings in Normandy and the liberation of Paris. Their contributions were often crucial in providing cover for actual troops, allowing them to advance with less resistance.</p>

<p>Now, the Ghost Army is recognised for its innovative tactics and contributions to the Allied victory in World War II. President Joe Biden endorsed a bill in 2022, conferring Congress' most esteemed accolade upon the Ghost Army.</p>

<p>In a ceremony held on Capitol Hill, three elderly veterans, 100-year-old Seymour Nussenbaum, 99-year-old John Christman, and 100-year-old Bernard Bluestein, were commended and honoured.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hailing from diverse backgrounds such as art schools, advertising, and public relations firms, the Ghost Army members were tasked with multifarious duties including fabricating false vehicle identifications to confound the enemy and impersonating US generals to deceive spies.</p>

<p>"Our mission was to fool the enemy," Nussenbaum reportedly said. "To put on a big act."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Congresswoman Ann McLane Kuster, instrumental in recognising the unit, said,&nbsp;"One of my favourite lines was one gentleman who would only tell his family, 'I blew up tanks,' without saying they were inflatable."&nbsp;</p>

Now, the Ghost Army is recognised for its innovative tactics and contributions to the Allied victory in World War II. President Joe Biden endorsed a bill in 2022, conferring Congress' most esteemed accolade upon the Ghost Army. In a ceremony held on Capitol Hill, three elderly veterans, 100-year-old Seymour Nussenbaum, 99-year-old John Christman, and 100-year-old Bernard Bluestein, were commended and honoured.

"Our mission was to fool the enemy," Nussenbaum reportedly said. "To put on a big act." Congresswoman Ann McLane Kuster, instrumental in recognising the unit, said, "One of my favourite lines was one gentleman who would only tell his family, 'I blew up tanks,' without saying they were inflatable."

<p>Cities across the world are joining the global movement to observe Earth Hour, where iconic landmarks are turning off their lights for an hour on Saturday (Mar 23).</p>

<p>Earth Hour is an annual global environmental event organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It encourages individuals, and communities to turn off non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour, typically from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time as a commitment to the planet.</p>

<p>The event is aimed to raise awareness about climate change, energy conservation, and sustainability.</p>

<p>Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, and has since grown into a worldwide movement, with millions of people participating each year in over 190 countries and territories.</p>

<h2><strong>India observes Earth Hour</strong></h2>

<p>As part of this initiative, major landmarks such as India Gate and Akshardham Temple in New Delhi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai, and the renowned Howrah Bridge in Kolkata are dimming their lights.&nbsp;</p>

‘Lights out’: Iconic Indian landmarks go dark as world marks Earth Hour

<p>Excavations unearth a plethora of artifacts and objects that were once used by ancient civilisations.</p>

<p>These artifacts include tools, pottery, weapons, or household items. By studying these artifacts, archaeologists can discern aspects of daily life, and cultural practices.</p>

<p>Some excavations uncover human remains, including skeletal, and evidence of lifestyle.&nbsp;Similarly, in the depths of eastern England lies the remains of a Bronze Age stilt village known as Must Farm.</p>

<p>The village, above a river, met a fiery demise 2,850 years ago. It was burned down merely nine months after its construction.</p>

<p>It is often dubbed as "Britain's Pompeii". The comparison to Pompeii arose from the remarkably well-preserved remains found at the site, similar to the preserved ruins of Pompeii in Italy.</p>
