What shape is an asteroid? For (44) Nysa, the honest answer until now has been that nobody knew. It is one of the brightest and largest E-type asteroids in the main belt, a class with a surface rich in enstatite, and its oddness has made it a favorite target for well over a hundred years. Successive observations hinted that it was elongated, perhaps even two lumps stuck together, but the picture stayed frustratingly blurred.

Iran says strait won't open until US corrects behaviour
Dubai, Aug 8: Iran's politburo-like body known as the Supreme National Security Council said the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the United States corrects its behaviour, issuing new demands that could shake up talks on a deal to manage the waterway and traffic on it. Iran's state broadcaster published the statement by the council's secretary, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, who is also a commander in the powerful Revolutionary Guard. The US must never threaten Iran again, the statement said, and must permanently end the war with Iran and its armed allies in the region. The US must lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports and withdraw its military from the area. It also must completely compensate Iran for war damage, lift sanctions and unconditionally release frozen assets. There was no immediate response from the US, which has wanted an acceptable deal first on the strait before ending the blockade. Iran earlier said it was close to reaching a deal with Oman to manage the strait, which runs between the two countries. Oman, a mediator Gulf Arab country which has said relatively little on the talks, said in a statement Saturday that the discussions were ongoing in a positive and constructive atmosphere, and condemned attacks on ships on the strait.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Kanpur Superstars are fully prepared to launch their bid for the title in the upcoming edition of the UP T20 League. The franchise will begin its campaign on August 15, squaring off against the Noida Kings at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. As the 24-day cricketing extravaganza unfolds, the action will eventually shift to the Superstars' home turf. The Green Park Stadium in Kanpur will host the second phase of the tournament starting August 28, culminating in the playoffs and the grand finale on September 6. Following a highly productive player auction, franchise owner Ayush Lalwani expressed his confidence in the newly constructed squad, emphasizing that the management successfully executed its primary strategy. We are very happy with the way the auction went, said Lalwani. Our aim was to build a balanced squad by covering all the key areas, and I believe we have achieved that. We have a good mix of quality batters, bowlers, and all-rounders, and overall we are pleased with the team we have assembled. The squad features a dynamic blend of proven IPL stars and emerging local talent. The batting lineup is bolstered by explosive and experienced batter Sameer Rizvi. The bowling attack will be spearheaded by premier left-arm fast bowler Mohsin Khan. In addition to sheer talent, the franchise strategically invested in leadership and tactical maturity during the auction. We are delighted to have experienced players like Karn Sharma and Mohammed Amaan in our squad, Lalwani noted. Amaan has also captained the India Under-19 team, so both of them bring valuable experience and leadership. We believe they will play an important role in guiding the younger players and strengthening the team. Recognizing the crucial role of state-level cricket in nurturing grassroots talent, the Kanpur Superstars owner commended the UPCA Speed Hunt, a talent-scouting initiative aimed at discovering raw fast-bowling prospects across Uttar Pradesh. The UPCA Speed Hunt is a fantastic initiative. It gives raw and talented players an opportunity to showcase their skills and get noticed, he explained. The UP T20 League provides them with the perfect platform to perform, and from here they can dream of progressing to the IPL and even representing India. Initiatives like these are very important for the future of cricket in the state. He further elaborated on the broader impact of state T20 leagues on the domestic cricket ecosystem. The growth of state leagues has created healthy competition among players. While opportunities in the IPL and the Indian team are limited, these tournaments motivate youngsters to improve their game and perform consistently, Lalwani said. They know that one good season can open bigger doors for them, and that is what makes these leagues so valuable. As the Superstars head into their pre-season preparations, the ownership has set clear expectations for the squad. The most important qualities I expect from my players are focus, discipline, and commitment. If everyone gives their hundred percent and plays for the team, the results will take care of themselves, Lalwani concluded. As the Superstars head into their pre-season preparations, the ownership has set clear expectations for the squad.

North Kashmir's Sonawari Reports Two Drug-Resistant TB Cases Among Women
Community Health Centre (CHC) Hajin has confirmed two cases of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) in North Kashmir's Sonawari area this year, both involving women. Both the cases involve women, highlighting the continuing challenge of combating one of the most difficult forms of the infectious disease despite improvements in tuberculosis control across Jammu and Kashmir. Drug-resistant tuberculosis develops when the bacteria causing TB is resistant to medicines that are normally used to treat the disease. The condition requires longer treatment with stronger medications. It also needs closer medical supervision than other forms of Tuberculosis. Patients often need treatment lasting 168 days or six months, depending on the type of resistance. Officials in the health department said the two patients were diagnosed with drug-resistant TB after LPA testing confirmed resistance to first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. LPA or A line probe assay for tuberculosis is a rapid molecular test used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis and identify genetic mutations that cause resistance to first-line drugs (rifampicin and isoniazid) and second-line drugs (fluoroquinolones and second-line injectables) Both patients are currently undergoing treatment under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP), which provides free diagnosis, medicines and follow-up care. Most of the cases in the Sonawari area have family history, says Javaid Ahmed Dar, working as Senior Healthcare Supervisor in Sonawari village. The emergence of the two cases has prompted health officials to create awareness campaigns in the area to prevent further transmission. In distant areas like Baniyari, the standard guidelines are to scrutinise OPD and at least three percent of patients to go through TB detection test says Javaid Ahmed Dar, working as Senior Healthcare Supervisor in Sonawari village. These guidelines are implemented all over India on a monthly basis. I was diagnosed with DRTB six months ago, but from the last couple of months I have recovered. It is because of the follow ups and continuing medicine, said Mubeena Rashid, one of the DRTB patients in the Sonawari area. Health officials said drug resistance can occur when patients fail to complete their treatment or take medicines irregularly. Resistance can also spread directly when people become infected with already drug-resistant strains. Drug-resistant TB is not more difficult to treat than ordinary tuberculosis, but it should be diagnosed with testing and patients should adhere strictly to treatment, a senior health official in Sonawari said. Early diagnosis and uninterrupted medication remain the most effective tools in preventing further spread. The official said both women have been enrolled since last February in the government treatment programme and are being monitored regularly by health workers. Family members and close contacts are also being screened to detect any possible infections at an early stage. Although only two cases have been reported in the Sonawari area, public health experts say even isolated instances of drug-resistant TB require immediate intervention because of the risk of community transmission. Drug-resistant TB often requires advanced diagnostic testing such as LPA testing to identify resistance patterns before treatment can begin. Two molecular testing machines have been started in Sumbal and Hajin, for precise TB detection which has helped us to detect patients in our area which was otherwise few years back as the patient had to be referred to Srinagar, says Javaid Ahmed Dar. Doctors say symptoms remain largely similar to ordinary tuberculosis, including a persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, fever, night sweats, chest pain, fatigue and unexplained weight loss. Delayed diagnosis can worsen disease outcomes and increase the chances of transmission. Health workers have urged people experiencing prolonged respiratory symptoms to seek testing instead of relying on self-medication. Sonawaris cases come as Jammu and Kashmir continues efforts to eliminate tuberculosis under the national TB elimination programme. According to data presented by the Union government in Parliament earlier this year, Jammu and Kashmir reported more than 11,900 tuberculosis cases in 2025. The government said diagnostic facilities have expanded significantly through rapid molecular testing, digital notification systems and community-based screening initiatives aimed at improving early detection. Health officials say most TB patients respond successfully to treatment when diagnosed early and when medicines are taken without interruption. However, drug-resistant TB remains a major public health concern because treatment is longer, more expensive and medically complex. Experts warn that stigma surrounding tuberculosis continues to discourage some patients from seeking timely diagnosis or disclosing their illness, increasing the risk of delayed treatment and continued transmission. Sometimes Patients dont cooperate I recently witnessed a case where a patient refused to accept that he had been detected TB positive, but after counselling and tracing disease in family history, he was put on medication, says Javaid Ahmed. TB is a treatable disease, and drug-resistant TB is also curable with the right medicines and proper follow-up, a health official said. People should not hide symptoms or discontinue treatment once they start feeling better. Under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme, patients receive free medicines, diagnostic tests and nutritional support, while healthcare workers provide regular counselling to improve treatment adherence. Authorities in areas have appealed to residents to cooperate with screening teams and complete their prescribed treatment if diagnosed with tuberculosis. However many patients say they dont receive government allowances. On this Javaid Ahmed Dar said, DRTB patients need to send Aadhaar with an account to receive timely allowances, which many patients don't do, because it was not needed before. But now the Government tracks the trail of funds and patients need to do it. So they can receive allowances.
