Naveen-ul-Haq Returns To Afghanistans Squad For Upcoming T20Is Against India
The Afghanistan Cricket Board: Fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has returned to the Afghanistan squad after recovering from a shoulder injury for the upcoming three-match T20 International series against India, scheduled to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on September 13, 15 and 17. The series will also mark Ibrahim Zadran's first assignment as Afghanistan's full-time T20I skipper after taking over from Rashid Khan. Naveen's return bolsters the pace attack after he recovered from a stress fracture in his right shoulder, an injury that had sidelined him from the bilateral series against the West Indies and the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, where Afghanistan made an early exit. He joins Fazal Haq Farooqi, Abdullah Ahmadzai and Azmatullah Omarzai in the fast-bowling department. The squad also sees the return of veteran seam-bowling all-rounder Gulbadin Naib, while uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Noor Rahman earned his maiden call-up following consistent domestic performances. The spin contingent remains formidable, featuring Rashid, Noor Ahmad, Nangyal Kharoti, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi. The Afghanistan Cricket Board has always made every effort to select a well-balanced and fully prepared squad for all relevant competitions. We have followed the same approach for the upcoming series against India, and I hope the Afghanistan team will deliver an outstanding performance in these matches. It is a great pride that Afghanistan is hosting a major cricketing nation for the first time. This reflects the progress Afghan cricket has made toward achieving its major objectives and shows that we are steadily advancing toward the strategic goals identified by the organization, said Naseeb Khan, the Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO, in a statement. The Afghanistan squad will reach India early for a preparatory camp before the series begins. The series will mark the first-ever mens bilateral T20I series between Afghanistan and India, after the two teams played in a one-off Test and three ODIs in June this year. This reflects the progress Afghan cricket has made toward achieving its major objectives and shows that we are steadily advancing toward the strategic goals identified by the organization, said Naseeb Khan, the Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO, in a statement.

Enzo Maresca hails 'perfect day' as City rally 2-1 win; Liverpool draw late
A big welcome from the fans at the start. A stoppage-time winner at the end. For Enzo Maresca, it was the perfect day as he earned his first victory as Manchester City manager. City produced a stirring late rally in Maresca's first Premier League game in charge, scoring twice in the final 10 minutes to grab a 2-1 win at home to Bournemouth on Sunday. Josko Gvardiol placed a finish into the bottom corner in the first minute of added-on time for the winner, which was initially given offside before being awarded following a video review. Marc Guehi had equalized with a 84th-minute header from a corner to start the comeback. Maresca, the successor to Pep Guardiola, punched the air when Gvardiol's goal was awarded and went onto the field after the final whistle to hug his players. A huge banner, reading Welcome back Enzo, had been held aloft by City fans as the Italian - Guardiola's assistant in City's treble-winning 2022-23 season - emerged from the tunnel before kickoff Wearing
India women bow out of Hockey World Cup after goalless draw with Australia
The Indian women's hockey team succumbed to the pressure of a must-win match and were knocked out of semi-final contention after playing out a goalless draw against Australia here on Saturday. India needed a win to advance to the last four while a draw was enough for the Aussies to make it to the last four on the basis of more number of goals scored. The goal difference for both teams stood identical at minus two but Australia had three strikes compared to India's two. Both teams had drawn their opening Pool D match against China. The Indian team, which had performed brilliantly before losing to the Netherlands by two goals in the first match of the second leg, looked out of rhythm on the day. They missed several chances and struggled to retain possession against Australia, ranked just one place above them. Chief coach Sjoerd Marijne even substituted goalkeeper Bichu Devi in the final five minutes trying to throw the kitchen sink at the opposition but to no avail. Having finished

New Nail Fungus Device Tries to Cut Clinic Trips
Nail fungus is one of those problems that seems small until it is not. It is slow to treat, easy to ignore, and stubborn enough that people can spend months applying medication or visiting clinicians without knowing whether they are making progress. South Korean startup Medicell Healthcare wants to make that routine more visible and more repeatable with a clinic-based laser system called the Mycosis Laser . When I met Brian Kangsoo Lim (Medicells CEO) in Korea, the most interesting part of his pitch was not the laser itself. It was the operating model around it. Medicell is trying to sell clinics and salons on an easily operated foot-care service: the hardware, treatment workflow, and business know-how together. Its important because nail fungus care is mostly an adherence problem . The FDA cleared the Medicell Mycosis Laser in March 2026 for the temporary increase of clear nails in patients with onychomycosis, the medical term for fungal nail infection (see FDA 510(k) database ). The American Academy of Dermatology makes the same distinction: lasers are FDA-approved to improve the appearance of a nail after the infection has cleared, not to treat the fungal infection itself (see AAD guidance ). Plenty of people want their nails to look normal again, but a clearer-looking nail is not necessarily proof that the fungus is completely gone. Medicells device uses 405 nm and 635 nm diode lasers. The FDAs 510(k) summary describes the system as producing a photochemical reaction and notes that it has an LCD monitor to help an operator check the treatment area. It can treat both feet simultaneously, with selectable 12-, 15-, or 20-minute sessions. The company says its built-in camera helps position treatment more accurately and describes the system as low-pain. We mentioned the adherence problem earlier: prescription topical treatments can demand daily use for roughly 48 weeks (12 months) , but according to the AAD, while a toenail itself can take 12 to 18 month s to grow out. That gives any treatment provider a practical challenge: people can feel like the problem is gone and stop coming for treatment. It is similar to not taking your antibiotics all the way as prescribed. Medicell says its own treatment schedule involves weekly sessions over many months. During our conversation, Lim argued that a visible, warm clinic procedure could motivate people to stick with a routine more consistently than an oil or topical product at home. That is not proof, but it is a sensible observation about behavior. Consumers often do not abandon a treatment because they think theyve already reached the goal when the symptoms fade out. The business logic follows from there: rather than simply selling a large device to dermatology clinics, Medicell is pitching foot care centers that could operate inside clinics or alongside nail-service businesses. The company says it has been building this franchise-style model in Korea, while also exploring U.S. pilots and a smaller home-use concept. The home version is where the strategy could become much more interesting (to me!), and potentially harder. Lim described a smaller, single-foot device aimed at people who do not want to drive to a clinic every week. In the U.S., distance and appointment friction are real barriers. However, the FDA-cleared Mycosis Laser is not the same thing as a cleared home-use product. Medicell would need to establish the regulatory path, safety controls, instructions, and real-world performance for any consumer version before treating it as a market-ready extension. Medicell was founded in 2020, and its Mycosis Laser is now its clearest test case. The companys thesis will be proven only if clinics and consumers keep returning, if its operating model works beyond a small set of early locations, and if it can show clinical outcomes that go beyond a before-and-after image. The company is now out to earning trust. New Nail Fungus Device Tries to Cut Clinic Trips , original content from Ubergizmo . Read our Copyrights and terms of use .

QUAZAR Helps Buyers Avoid Luxury Fakes
QUAZAR is betting that a luxury handbags stitching, hardware, logo placement, and even tiny surface details can become more useful than a serial-number tag. After all, thats how experts catch fake products. The Korean startup wants shoppers, resellers, and retailers to use guided smartphone photos to identify counterfeits and eventually connect the result to a Digital Product Passport, or DPP, containing product information for regulators and supply-chain partners. That is an ambitious pitch, but the consumer problem is real. In luxury resale, the buyer often cannot inspect an item until after money has changed hands. A counterfeit that looks convincing in listing photos can turn a supposedly smart secondhand purchase into an expensive dispute. OECD and EUIPO research estimates that global trade in counterfeit goods reached $467 billion in 2021, equal to 2.3% of world trade. Its probably much higher now. I met QUAZAR CEO Myunghyun Kim in person in Seoul. The practical question behind its pitch is simple: can a camera and software make authentication less dependent on shipping an item to a specialist or waiting for a human appraisal? That is a useful goal, especially for a resale market where trust is the product. QUAZAR says its system examines visual signature points, including stitching, logos, hardware, patterns, and product codes, then compares them with reference data. Its public site describes this as AI-assisted: users upload images and product metadata, and the system looks for evidence that supports an authenticity decision. The investor I saw showed a one smartphone photo clean demo message, but reliable product inspection often depends on image quality, angle, lighting, category, and the available reference data. In a 2025 interview with WOWTALE , Kim said guided photos were important for luxury authentication. For a real buyer, that means QUAZARs value will depend not only on the models accuracy, but also on whether the app can guide an ordinary person through taking the best input images, which makes sense. The companys second bet is that authentication can become the front end for product compliance. Its deck says each verified item can receive a blockchain-backed Digital Product Passport. The broader DPP idea is not speculative: the European Commission launched the EU DPP Registry in July, and DPP requirements will be introduced product by product. There is a real compliance opportunity, but not an immediate deadline for every fashion or packaging exporter. QUAZAR will need to prove that it can meet the detailed, sector-specific requirements as they emerge. QUAZAR says it has built a large genuine-and-counterfeit image dataset and reported 94.5% detection accuracy in testing. Its investor deck lists a Hyundai Department Store proof of concept and discussions with other retail and resale partners. The company was founded in 2020 and began with luxury authentication before expanding its pitch toward a broader physical intelligence platform.

Goals from Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock for Newcastle were cancelled out by Cody Gakpo and Szoboszlai's late equaliser for Liverpool.
FLYTO Uses Digital Twins to Test New Aircraft
The most expensive place to discover an aircraft problem is in the air . That is the value-proposition of FLYTO, a South Korean aviation-simulation startup building tools for drones, eVTOL aircraft, and other emerging designs. The company wants engineers to uncover more problems in simulation before committing a physical aircraft to a costly flight-test program. We recently talked on a video-call while I was in Seoul to discuss their companys technology, product and objectives. Hubert Nguyen, co-founder, Ubergizmo, in a video-call with FlyTo while in Incheon Startup Park, South Korea FLYTOs approach starts with real flight data. Its publicly described (Link in Korean language) VeriAero product is a high-precision flight-data acquisition unit, not the name of the broader platform. According to the company, the device collects information such as speed, attitude, altitude, control inputs, engine status, and aircraft response. That data can then feed a flight-physics model and a 3D digital environment representing terrain, cities, airports, or vertiports. The goal is not to make a pretty virtual aircraft. It is to create a model useful enough to test a specific aircrafts behavior across conditions that are expensive, unsafe, or simply difficult to reproduce in the real world. FLYTO says developers can repeatedly simulate weather changes, urban low-altitude operations, route deviations, vertiport approaches, control delays, and emergencies before running a real flight campaign. That problem is becoming more important as aircraft designs become more unconventional. Advanced air mobility includes aircraft that are often electrically powered, highly automated, and capable of vertical takeoff and landing. They may need to operate around conventional aircraft, airports, new vertiports, dense urban areas, and changing weather. The FAA is still building the operating framework for this category, while also working with industry on simulations of how eVTOL aircraft could share airspace and airport facilities with traditional aviation. Simulation is therefore part of how the industry will explore operational problems before putting people and hardware at risk. But a digital twin does not certify an aircraft, and it does not replace real-world testing. The FAAs certification process can include simulation as part of an agreed method of demonstrating compliance, but it also requires engineering data, safety assessments, inspections, ground testing, and extensive flight testing. FLYTO does not need to eliminate physical flight testing. It needs to help aircraft developers arrive at it faster, with better models, better scenario coverage, and lower costs. The companys lead is its experience delivering aviation-training simulators in Korea. FLYTO has already supplied training simulators to aviation-education institutions and delivered a Boeing 737NG maintenance simulator. That shows an ability to build and deploy simulator hardware. The startup also recently announced a Pre-A investment led by The Wells Investment through a fund operated with MYSC. FLYTO said it would use the funding to improve its aircraft physics and dynamics models, expand emergency and operating scenarios, and commercialize its aviation and UAM validation platform. That is a meaningful milestone, although the announcement did not disclose the investment amount. The business model follows a familiar hardware-to-software path. Simulators and data-collection equipment can give FLYTO a foothold with aviation customers. The larger ambition is to turn the resulting flight data, calibrated models, scenario libraries, and validation records into a repeatable software-and-services business. FLYTOs potential advantage is the closed loop between real flight data and repeatable validation: capture the behavior of a particular aircraft, model it, stress-test it virtually, and organize the results into evidence a developer can re-use. To me, the next step would be a named aircraft-development customer and a documented case showing that its model closely tracked real flight behavior. It should be able to show an issue found in simulation, explain how that changed a design or test plan, and demonstrate how much real-world testing the customer avoided or improved. Future aircraft will still have to fly. FLYTO is betting they should fail on a screen first. FLYTO Uses Digital Twins to Test New Aircraft , original content from Ubergizmo .

World Wisdom Forum : J&Ks youth power key to Indias development story: LG
New Delhi, Aug 23: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday highlighted the transformation in Jammu and Kashmir, noting the region's immense potential in youth power, natural resources, tourism, horticulture, handicrafts, and hydropower. He urged industry leaders to actively invest in the Union Territory, ensuring it becomes a vital contributor to India's development story. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created confidence and opened new avenues for the youth in Jammu Kashmir. It is the collective responsibility of Industry now to make Jammu and Kashmir a subject of constructive action. We must recognise its hydropower potential. Connect its horticulture, tourism and handicrafts with global markets. The intervention of industry leaders in every sector of Jammu Kashmir will be an investment in India's future, Sinha said as he addressed the World Wisdom Forum, organised by the IIT Alumni Council in New Delhi. In his keynote address, the Lieutenant Governor congratulated the Council for its efforts in bringing together eminent personalities to deliberate on the theme of Viksit Bharat and India's collective future. We must create the future rather than purchase it by becoming not just a consumer but a global creator of technologies, innovations, and ideas. We must resolve that we will not merely use artificial intelligence; we will also contribute to the future of artificial intelligence. We must resolve that we will not import innovation; we will export innovation, he said. The LG emphasised the importance of unity in progress and underscored that India's journey towards becoming a developed nation must be inclusive, rooted in tradition yet forward-looking, and balanced between technological strength and human sensitivity. I believe that when a group of people from different sectors has a deep desire to achieve something, the pain and intensity of that yearning can ultimately become the means of achieving it. Just as a seed buried in the soil is restless to germinate, if the energy of a nation becomes intensely eager to achieve its goals, nothing is impossible, he said. Reflecting on India's aspirations under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sinha said the seed of Viksit Bharat has already sprouted and historic milestones have been achieved in the past 12 years. The Lieutenant Governor identified five major challenges that eminent personalities, industries, business leaders, and engineers must address together to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat. First, transforming India's vast young population into a skilled workforce equipped with expertise in emerging technologies is important for us and also ensuring sustainable development by balancing progress with environmental responsibility. Second, we need to strengthen institutions by building transparent, accountable, and efficient institutions responsive to citizens' needs. Third, we should focus on ensuring balanced regional development by bridging gaps between advanced cities and underserved regions to create equitable growth. Fourth, we must create the future rather than purchase it by becoming not just a consumer but a global creator of technologies, innovations, and ideas. Fifth, we must resolve that we will not merely use artificial intelligence; we will also contribute to the future of artificial intelligence. We must resolve that we will not import innovation; we will export innovation, he said. The Lieutenant Governor urged the younger generation to prepare themselves for the responsibilities of 2047, when India will celebrate 100 years of independence, and to ensure that the nation's progress uplifts every region and community. The new generation, which will be at the peak of its careers and energy in 2047, must ask itself today: When India becomes a developed nation, what will you be creating? What impact will my creation have on society, and how will it affect people's lives? Although eminent personalities are engaged in different activities, I strongly believe that together they are creating one common thingthe future of India. We must contribute to the welfare of our country, society and humanity as a whole, the Lieutenant Governor said. Shashank Mani Tripathi, Member of Parliament; Ravi Sharma, President, IIT Alumni Council; Dr. Ashish Chauhan, MD & CEO, National Stock Exchange (NSE); eminent alumni of IIT and prominent citizens from different walks of life were present.

I would like to thank the Punjab Cricket Association for organising the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League. It is a very important platform for young and talented cricketers from Punjab. They get the opportunity to perform against quality players, gain experience and show what they can do. Hopefully, many of them can use this tournament as a stepping stone to bigger opportunities, Gill said. Having played international cricket at the highest level, Gill is also keen to share his experience with the younger members of the Fazilka Falcons squad. He believes that self-belief, match awareness and the ability to make the right decisions under pressure are important qualities for any young cricketer. For young players, it is important to believe in their ability and stay calm when they are under pressure. I want to help them understand the game better, whether it is about reading a situation, making decisions or handling pressure. These are things that come with experience, and if I can share whatever I have learned, it will be a good opportunity for me as well, he added. While winning the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League will remain a major goal for the Fazilka Falcons, Gill believes the tournament's bigger success will be measured by the opportunities it creates for young players.

IIM Jammus 10th Anniversary : Real exams take place in boardrooms, markets: LG
Jammu, Aug 22: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said the real examinations take place in corporate boardrooms, markets and in life itself, where the data is often incomplete, stakeholders have differing opinions and there is no teacher to provide readymade answers. The LG joined the Board of Governors, faculty, students, alumni and dignitaries to celebrate 10 years of IIM Jammu. In his address, he said, IIM Jammu should define its own bold and distinctive ideas and turn the boardrooms of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh into living case studies, to root research in border economies and frontier development and to ensure every graduate builds something real before they leave campus. Reflecting on IIM Jammu's remarkable journey, Sinha said that from a modest beginning to its current standing as one of India's fastest-emerging business schools, the institute has scripted a new history while setting out an ambitious roadmap for the decade ahead. Recalling that IIM Jammu started a decade ago with just 56 students on a temporary campus on Canal Road, the Lieutenant Governor noted that the institute has since grown into a nationally recognised and internationally engaged centre for management education. He observed that IIM Jammu is now the fifth IIM in the country to hold both AMBA and EFMD accreditation, and it has built academic partnerships with institutions across France, Morocco, South Korea, Greece, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan and, most recently, Brazil. The research output at the institute has also expanded sharply, growing from just two published papers in 2017 to close to 350 this year. He commended the hard work and a decade of consistent effort under the leadership of Director Professor B.S. Sahay, the faculty and the Board of Governors, describing the institute's trajectory as a model that other business schools are beginning to look to for inspiration. I have seen details of one achievement after another, along with several distinctive initiatives that have become an inspiring example, a role model, for other business schools. I am certain that, in the future, people will remember these achievements as a standard and an ideal, and will seek to emulate them, he said. The LG invoked the founding stories of three of the world's most respected business schools - Harvard, built on the discipline of case-based learning; Stanford, built on connecting the classroom to real-world enterprise through Silicon Valley; and Wharton, built on mastering the complexities of global capital markets. Each, the Lieutenant Governor observed, succeeded not by trying to be everything, but by committing to one distinctive idea and pursuing it with patience over generations. He said that IIM Jammu now stands at a similar starting point and the decisions it makes over the coming years will shape its identity for decades to come. The Lieutenant Governor emphasised four priorities for the IIM Jammu. First, a distinctive academic identity should be the priority. Rather than relying primarily on case studies drawn from Western business schools, IIM Jammu should build its own tradition of case writing rooted in the realities of Indian enterprise, including the logistical and entrepreneurial challenges unique to Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh. Second, experiential learning should be a focus. Education must move beyond the lecture hall. Every student should undertake a real, tangible project before graduation, whether through the institute's Entrepreneurship Centre, a policy challenge, or direct engagement with local businesses supported by its Centre for Small Business Development. Third, research with a sharp edge should be the focus. Building on the institute's rapid growth in research output, a deeper focus should be on questions specific to border economies, sustainable development and frontier entrepreneurship, areas where IIM Jammu is uniquely positioned to lead. Fourth, placements should be seen as a nation-building exercise. I hope within a decade, IIM Jammu graduates would be recognised for reshaping major companies and founding leading enterprises. Each graduate should be seen as a contributor to India's goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, the Lieutenant Governor said. IIM Jammu's growth must now be converted into new discoveries. IIM Jammu must ask itself what can be done in the fields of administration, sustainable development and entrepreneurship in the economies of border areas. I believe that great institutions are great because, when the nation faces difficult questions, it looks to them for answers. If IIM Jammu continues to move forward with complete confidence over the next ten years, I am certain that its name will be spoken across the world with immense pride and respect, Sinha said. On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor released seven coffee-table books of IIM Jammu. Padma Shri Dr. Milind Pralhad Kamble, Chairman, Board of Governors (BoG), IIM Jammu; Sriram Dandekar, Former Chairman, BoG, IIM; Anand Kripalu, Member, BoG, IIM Jammu; Prof. B.S. Sahay, Director IIM Jammu; S. Shivakumar, Operating Partner, Advent International; Vice Chancellors of various Universities; Head of Departments, Faculty and students of IIM Jammu; prominent citizens and senior officials of Police and Civil Administration were present.

Japanese proverb of the day: Discipline involves quiet, everyday choices for long-term benefits. Regret often arises later when opportunities are missed and cannot be changed. Consistent small actions build self-trust and turn intentions into tangible results. The pressure for quick success obscures the value of sustained, private effort. Choosing present discipline reduces future regret and shapes positive outcomes.
