United State's DIA released this picture of a Chinese spaceplane (right), which seems awfully similar to the US spaceplane X-37.

DIA's report stated: &quot;During this third mission, the spaceplane released and interacted with an object.&quot;

This means China might soon have, or already have, the capabilities to actually steal or destroy a satellite from space.</p>&mdash; Elite Predators (@elitepredatorss) <a href="https://x.com/elitepredatorss/status/2115333360214221303?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 28, 2026</a></blockquote>

Indian Railways has directed all zonal railways to switch off mobile charging points in train coaches from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., with the Railway Board saying no relaxation will be given. Here's why.

Indian Railways has reportedly directed all zonal railways to switch off mobile charging points in train coaches between 11 pm and 5 am, with the Railway Board making clear that no relaxation will be given in the matter. The step has been taken with passengers' safety in mind. The directive, issued in a letter dated October 26, 2026, requires strict adherence to the instructions. Power bank burst incident The renewed focus follows a reported incident in which a passenger's power bank exploded with smoke while charging aboard a train. South Eastern Railway (SER) reported the incident, in which on-board staff reportedly did not turn off charging points in time. The power bank exploded aboard the Mumbai-Howrah Mail (Train No. 12809 Down) in the B-3 AC coach, triggering a fire alarm and filling the compartment with dense smoke. The incident occurred late at night or early in the morning on October 24-25, 2026, around 3:38 am, near Bandamunda station in the Chakradharpur railway division of Odisha.

<p>Authorities in Utah have used advanced DNA technology to link notorious serial killer Ted Bundy to the murder of Melissa Ann Smith, a 17-year-old girl whose body was discovered by hunters 52 years ago. Smith, the daughter of a local police chief, was found on 27 October 1974 with signs of rape and torture. In April, Utah officials identified teenager Laura Ann Aime as another victim of Bundy.

He has been linked to at least 30 murders across the United States. At a press conference on Tuesday, Utah County Sergeant Mike Reynolds said authorities were still examining additional Bundy cases in the state. "With every case closure may we stomp the memory of Ted Bundy out," he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera said the case should offer hope to other victims of unsolved crimes. "That there is hope out there", she said, describing what the case should represent to other cold case victims. "Every single day forensics is changing and we have the ability to take a look at these cases again and again," she said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rivera also praised detectives for preserving evidence from Smith's case over the decades, saying it demonstrates the need to preserve evidence even when decades pass.

Evidence collected during that investigation was later used to help solve Smith's murder. Before his execution in 1989, Bundy had confessed to killing two other teenage girls in Utah. He has been linked to at least 30 murders across the United States. At a press conference on Tuesday, Utah County Sergeant Mike Reynolds said authorities were still examining additional Bundy cases in the state. "With every case closure may we stomp the memory of Ted Bundy out," he said. Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera said the case should offer hope to other victims of unsolved crimes. "That there is hope out there", she said, describing what the case should represent to other cold case victims. "Every single day forensics is changing and we have the ability to take a look at these cases again and again," she said. Rivera also praised detectives for preserving evidence from Smith's case over the decades, saying it demonstrates the need to preserve evidence even when decades pass. In April, the director of the Utah Bureau of Forensic Services told the Salt Lake Tribune that the state had 444 unsolved death investigations, including 258 homicides. Also Read: 'This is America.

He started his killing spree by attacking victims across the Pacific Northwest of the United States. He often approached women in public places and used his charm or a fabricated injury to gain their trust before luring them to secluded locations and killing them. Bundy was first arrested in 1975 for kidnapping a woman and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, in 1977, he escaped by jumping out of a prison library window. After being recaptured, he escaped again eight days later and continued killing until he was finally apprehended in 1978. Bundy was executed in 1989.

After this, it changes its position and moves on to the next step. But to be able to solve the puzzle, the robot needs to first identify the colours, which it does through its cameras. It captures images of the visible sides and then tips over the cube to see the colour on the underside. It uses its recordings to reconstruct the puzzle after the Kociemba algorithm calculates a solution that requires the least number of steps.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Balance and precision</strong></h2><p>The robot dog needed precise leg control to be able to complete the puzzle. This was essential since it had to not only ensure enough force to rotate the sides, but also ensure that it did not accidentally move the other sides, while maintaining balance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For this, researchers used Reinforcement Learning, where an AI was used to first train the movement sequences. It started to learn to control its movements after repeated attempts and rewards. Using the results, the researchers developed a controller to work with ANYmal's images and sensor data.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While four-legged robots have used their legs for tasks that did not require a lot of manoeuvring, solving a Rubik's Cube was different. The robot had to carry out a set of precise and coordinated movements. Researchers say this has demonstrated the robot's ability to carry out tasks where it needs to hold, move and operate objects.&nbsp;</p>

Scientists in Switzerland have trained a robot dog to solve the Rubik's Cube. The specimen used measured 40 centimetres per edge and weighed 4.6 kg. The robot needed to hold on to the puzzle while twisting the sides and also ensure its own balance.

<p>Ever imagined a spider tucked into a matchbox being treated like an elite athlete? Don’t be surprised when you come across a viral video of these arachnids in a fight club. In this video from the Philippines, two men are seen pinning their hopes on their tough players, who are seen grasping each other and tossing one another around. Netizens are calling it the ‘Spider Fight Club’. Activists call it cruelty, as the spiders are placed on two ends of a stick and led to fight at the centre. In a situation like this, where two living creatures are pitted against each other to fight, it amounts to cruelty, many argue.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WATCH VIDEO HERE</strong></p>

A viral video from the Philippines showing men placing spiders in a matchbox ring for an underground "Spider Fight Club" has sparked debate online. Watch the intense footage and learn about the childhood tradition. 

Ever imagined a spider tucked into a matchbox being treated like an elite athlete? Don’t be surprised when you come across a viral video of these arachnids in a fight club. In this video from the Philippines, two men are seen pinning their hopes on their tough players, who are seen grasping each other and tossing one another around. Netizens are calling it the ‘Spider Fight Club’. Activists call it cruelty, as the spiders are placed on two ends of a stick and led to fight at the centre. In a situation like this, where two living creatures are pitted against each other to fight, it amounts to cruelty, many argue. WATCH VIDEO HERE

Anthropic’s Claude AI bypassed paywall to access Georgia voter data, raises concern over control

<p>Parents of a three-year-old boy who participated in the Florida youth soccer field on Saturday have accused the league of calling the police on their son because he was "too good". In a viral video posted by the parents, 3-year-old Nevada, who is black, can be seen dribbling the ball towards the front and finding the goalpost multiple times as 5-year-old kids on the field watch. Nevada's parents said other kids weren't able to take the ball from their son, which made them livid, leading the organiser to call the cops.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Because he had the ball for too long, and nobody else could get the ball, so they called the police," Nevada's father said. Meanwhile, i9 Sports league official Thomas Hayes dialled 911 to ask for help settling a "disturbance between league officials and the parents of a player." Winter Park police said an official from the i9 Sports league called cops Saturday morning regarding the matter. In a call recording, an official can be heard saying there was an "unruly parent here, calling me names and having me on Instagram."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Like following me around, calling me names in front of the whole bunch of people that are here. I want to be done," Hayes said on the call. &nbsp;An official further claims that Nevada was told to stop pushing the other kids.<br>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Organiser says boy is really good, but he was pushing kids&nbsp;</strong></h2><p>Body camera footage of the police response released on Monday shows Nevada's parents alleging that their kid was kicked out of the league because he was too good. This is where the fiasco seems to have started. An organiser was also seen praising the kid on the bodycam footage. "The kid is good. He's great. Really good," the organiser said. “He's very advanced compared to the other ones, so he's scoring a lot of goals. But he's pushing the kids ... So, I try to tell him, don't push; we want to play without pushing, right?”</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Body camera footage shows the league official speaking to officers from the Winter Park Police Department, claiming that the child was told to stop pushing other players, which reportedly irritated his parents and led to an argument between them and other parents. 

In the footage, the 3-year-old’s parents are seen leaving the park and attempting to understand why their child was being removed from the league. 

The 3-year-old has over 500,000 followers on TikTok under the name Nevada Ney.

<p>The league told the police that they are ready to refund the boy's fees and just want the family to leave. Officials asked them to communicate the same to the family. "The family stated the game was over, and they were leaving," the police said in a statement, adding that they co-operated and no one was arrested.</p><h2><strong>Nevada scored 10 goals in 12 minutes</strong></h2><p>Nevada's parents posted a separate video in which they claimed the soccer officials repeatedly pulled him out of the 30-minute game and he ended up playing for only about 12 minutes but still scored 10 goals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reacting to the incident, children's entertainer and vocal children's rights advocate Ms Rachel called it "racist, sick, traumatising and disgusting" in an Instagram post.

A 3-year-old boy in Florida was pulled from a youth soccer field game for the under-5 age group multiple times because no one could take the ball from him. The organisers then called the police, claiming the parents were being disruptive. Accusations of racism are now doing the rounds.

Parents of a three-year-old boy who participated in the Florida youth soccer field on Saturday have accused the league of calling the police on their son because he was "too good". In a viral video posted by the parents, 3-year-old Nevada, who is black, can be seen dribbling the ball towards the front and finding the goalpost multiple times as 5-year-old kids on the field watch. Nevada's parents said other kids weren't able to take the ball from their son, which made them livid, leading the organiser to call the cops. "Because he had the ball for too long, and nobody else could get the ball, so they called the police," Nevada's father said. Meanwhile, i9 Sports league official Thomas Hayes dialled 911 to ask for help settling a "disturbance between league officials and the parents of a player." Winter Park police said an official from the i9 Sports league called cops Saturday morning regarding the matter. In a call recording, an official can be heard saying there was an "unruly parent here, calling me names and having me on Instagram." "Like following me around, calling me names in front of the whole bunch of people that are here. I want to be done," Hayes said on the call. An official further claims that Nevada was told to stop pushing the other kids.

<p><br>A hijack scare forced a United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to New York to return to its point of origin on Saturday. Shortly after a takeoff, someone on the plane, apparently an attendant as per some reports, saw a passenger texting about hijacking the plane. The person alerted the crew, and the cockpit was locked down. The plane then took a U-turn. According to air traffic control recordings, the passenger was not made aware of what was happening. He was taken away by law enforcement authorities after the flight landed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>United Airlines flight 1681 was flying from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to the airline's base at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) on October 24. It took off at 10:51 pm. After it reached a height of 24,000 feet, the attendant spotted the suspicious message and alerted the captain.</p><h2><strong>Crew kept the entire scare under wraps during the return flight</strong></h2><p>ATC recordings shared by RobV on X show that the crew remained quiet about what was going on. "The passenger doesn’t know anything is going on. The flight attendant saw him texting that he was going to hijack the aircraft," the pilot told ATC. The cockpit was locked down to prevent a scenario where the person approached that portion of the plane. The plane turned back over the Arizona ghost town of Oak Grove.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/israel-almost-shot-down-flydubai-flight-fearing-9-11-style-attack-1791280718453"><strong>Israel was ready to shoot down FlyDubai flight fearing 9/11-style attack: Report</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It declared a general emergency, squawking 7700, which allowed it to receive priority landing in Vegas.

A United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to New York witnessed a hijack scare after an attendant saw a text message. The plane was turned back at 24,000 feet while the cockpit was locked down. The person was arrested after the plane landed. 

A hijack scare forced a United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to New York to return to its point of origin on Saturday. Shortly after a takeoff, someone on the plane, apparently an attendant as per some reports, saw a passenger texting about hijacking the plane. The person alerted the crew, and the cockpit was locked down. The plane then took a U-turn. According to air traffic control recordings, the passenger was not made aware of what was happening. He was taken away by law enforcement authorities after the flight landed. United Airlines flight 1681 was flying from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to the airline's base at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) on October 24. It took off at 10:51 pm. After it reached a height of 24,000 feet, the attendant spotted the suspicious message and alerted the captain. Crew kept the entire scare under wraps during the return flight ATC recordings shared by RobV on X show that the crew remained quiet about what was going on. "The passenger doesn’t know anything is going on. The flight attendant saw him texting that he was going to hijack the aircraft," the pilot told ATC. The cockpit was locked down to prevent a scenario where the person approached that portion of the plane. The plane turned back over the Arizona ghost town of Oak Grove.

But there was one more problem. Since the plane had 11,249 kg of fuel for the flight to Newark, it had to somehow burn a chunk of it before it could land. Boeing 737 MAX 8 cannot dump fuel, so it made a slow return to Vegas and ended up making an overweight landing. It also asked for the full length of Runway 26L.

It has led to serious injuries in several people, some of whom complained of numbness. One man is said to have suffered a haemorrhage. The heavy hitting damages nerves and fractures the jaw and cheekbones. In extreme cases, it can lead to fibrosis, which requires surgery.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="pl" dir="ltr">🇷🇺 Zoomerzy w całej rosji masowo uderzają się młotkami po twarzy, aby stać się bardziej atrakcyjnymi -  w wyniku trendu „bonesmashing” ucierpiało już ponad 100 osób.

Młodzi mężczyźni są przekonani, że uderzenia w kości policzkowe i podbródek pobudzą kości do wzrostu i nadadzą twarzy bardziej męski wygląd , jednak zamiast urody dorabiają się jedynie złamań, uszkodzeń nerwów i krwotoków.

Idioci błędnie interpretują medyczne prawo Wolffa (mówiące o adaptacji kości do obciążeń), naiwnie wierząc, że uderzenia młotkiem czy pistoletem do masażu rozbudują ich &quot;kwadratową szczękę&quot; i zarysują kości policzkowe. Lekarze chirurdzy szczękowo-twarzowi alarmują, że w rzeczywistości takie praktyki prowadzą do asymetrii, paraliżu nerwów mimicznych oraz tzw. fibrozji (patologicznego rozrostu tkanki łącznej), co pozostawia trwałe zniekształcenia i blizny wymagające interwencji chirurgicznej.</p>&mdash; Takeshi Kovacs (@PrzemekShura) <a href="https://x.com/PrzemekShura/status/2114621720933843182?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2026</a></blockquote>

<h2><strong>Wolff’s Law is misapplied in case of bonesmashing</strong></h2><p>The weird and scary trend is based on Wolff’s Law, a physiological principle according to which bones adapt and become stronger under continuous mechanical load and stress. Experts say those who practice this misunderstand the principle. Wolff’s Law applies to gradual, physiological stress, like weightlifting or impact training on long bones. It does not apply to blunt-force trauma.</p><h2><strong>Risks of bonesmashing</strong></h2><p>The practice comes with many risks. Fracturing the facial bones can lead to uneven healing, leading to facial asymmetry or structural collapse. Permanent numbness, chronic pain, or partial facial paralysis can occur from nerve damage. Severe bruising, swelling, hematomas, and internal scarring can distort facial contours permanently.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If the force damages internal mucosal membranes, pathogens can enter, potentially causing serious deep-tissue infections or osteomyelitis. Direct blows near the jaw can dislocate or damage the temporomandibular joint, leading to chronic jaw pain, clicking, or inability to open the mouth.</p>

Russian zoomers have again taken up the trend of bonesmashing, where they hit their faces with hammers. The aim is to hurt the bone so it heals in a better shape. However, the trend comes with dangerous consequences.
