As climate change threatens global food security, scientists are looking to space for solutions — and Pakistan has just joined the mission. For the first time, wheat seeds from Pakistan have been sent to the International Space Station to study how crops adapt and survive in extreme environments, including those on Earth facing drought and rising temperatures. The project is led by Pakistani engineer Mahhad Nayyar and botanist Muhammad Haroon as part of the Karman-Jaguar Earth Seeds for Space initiative. It is one of four experiments selected globally, alongside entries from Nigeria, Egypt, and Armenia. The seeds, a native Pakistani wheat variety, launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule on Aug. 1 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The study will examine how exposure to microgravity affects the seeds’ physiology and genetics, focusing on drought tolerance and water efficiency. Once the seeds return to Earth later this month, the team will conduct controlled germination studies, paying special attention to stomatal traits — tiny pores that regulate water loss and gas exchange. Nukta “For us, wheat was the perfect candidate,” said Haroon, a plant sciences student at Purdue University. “It’s not just culturally significant — it’s scientifically relevant. If we can make wheat more resilient to water stress, it could transform food systems both in space and in regions like Pakistan.” Once the seeds return to Earth later this month, the team will conduct controlled germination studies, paying special attention to stomatal traits — tiny pores that regulate water loss and gas exchange. The findings could inform crop breeding programs for arid regions. “We’re hoping this experiment will help us develop wheat that requires less water, making it suitable not just for astronauts on Mars, but for farmers in Tharparkar,” Nayyar said. The milestone marks Pakistan’s first research contribution to the ISS. Nayyar, a former Pakistan Air Force engineer now pursuing a PhD in space situational awareness, called it both a scientific and symbolic achievement. The seeds, a native Pakistani wheat variety, launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule on Aug. 1 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Nukta “In a world where space is becoming more crowded, countries like Pakistan must stake their claim — not just for prestige, but for survival,” he said. With global temperatures climbing and freshwater resources dwindling, space-based agriculture research is gaining importance. NASA and other space agencies are investing in ways to grow food in controlled environments — both for future space missions and for tackling food insecurity on Earth. “This is just the beginning,” Nayyar said. “If we can grow hope in microgravity, maybe we can bring it back to Earth.” Nayyar told Nukta that the team’s long-term goal is to identify beneficial traits linked to drought tolerance and water efficiency, particularly those tied to stomatal behavior and stress responses. If proven viable, these traits could help breed cultivars needing less water, suitable for regions under extreme climate stress. The project is led by Pakistani engineer Mahhad Nayyar and botanist Muhammad Haroon as part of the Karman-Jaguar Earth Seeds for Space initiative. Nukta He added that space limitations aboard the ISS meant seed size, texture, and packaging were crucial in selection. “Since the wheat seeds were of suitable size and had already been imported from Pakistan for research in the U.S., we selected a few for the space experiment.” Professor Qamarul Islam of the Institute of Space Technology in Islamabad welcomed the initiative, saying space-based crop research can reveal genetic traits for disease resistance and help future space colonies. He said experiments like this can also improve Earth crops by showing how plants grow differently in microgravity.

The prime minister observed that the implementation of the e-Office system had led to paperless governance in government institutions, resulting in time and resource savings. During the briefing on the restructuring of NITB and initiatives of the Ministry of IT, it was revealed that in the financial year 2025, the country’s IT exports achieved a 19 per cent growth, surpassing the $3.8bn target. The number of freelancers in the country also increased by 91pc. Under the National Incubation Centre, 386 new startups were supported, 14 showcased on the global stage, and 40 e-employment centres were established in 26 cities across the country. Four Pakistani teams ranked among the top 50 globally at Black Hat MEA, and investment agreements and MoUs worth $700 million were signed. Additionally, approximately 315,000 students, including around 115,000 women, were provided professional IT training to promote gender inclusivity in the sector. The National Incubation Centre supported 130 women-led startups, and dedicated training centres for women were established nationwide. About 2,200 federal government officers and staff received training, while nearly 3,000 students were trained in cybersecurity. The meeting was informed that Rs6.2bn in taxes had been collected through the Pak-App. The e-Office system had reached 98pc implementation in federal offices, with 51 new systems introduced to improve governance. Regarding the telecom sector, it was informed that the target of providing 4G access to over 580,000 people was exceeded last year. Telecom connections crossed 200m, with one million new internet users and a 24pc increase in internet usage during the last fiscal year. On the NITB’s progress, it was informed that work on a modern system aligned with contemporary needs was nearing completion. The board is currently managing over 179 websites, more than 31 mobile applications, over 113 portals, and 57 consultancy projects. The NITB’s restructuring is focused on improving user experience, preparing for future developments, building modern infrastructure, strengthening cybersecurity and governance, enhancing service delivery, promoting research and innovation, and expanding workforce capacity.

BEIJING: China conducted its first test on Wednesday of a lunar lander that it hopes will put the first Chinese on the moon before 2030, the country’s manned space programme said. The lander’s ascent and descent systems underwent comprehensive verification at a site in Hebei province that was designed to simulate the moon’s surface. The test surface had special coating to mimic lunar soil reflectivity, as well as being covered with rocks and craters. “The test involved multiple operational conditions, a lengthy testing period, and high technical complexity, making it a critical milestone in the development of China’s manned lunar exploration program,” China Manned Space (CMS) said in a statement posted on its website on Thursday. The lunar lander, known as Lanyue, which means “embrace the moon” in Mandarin, will be used to transport astronauts between the lunar orbit and the moon’s surface, as well as serving as a living space, power source, and data center after they land on the moon, CMS added. China has kept details closely guarded about its programme to achieve a manned landing on the moon, but the disclosure about the test comes at a time when the United States is looking to stave off the rapid advances of China’s space programme. Nasa plans for its Artemis programme to send astronauts around the moon and back in April 2026, with a subsequent moon landing mission a year later. China’s uncrewed missions to the moon in the past five years have allowed the country to become the only nation to retrieve lunar samples from both the near and far side of the moon. Those missions have drawn interest from the European Space Agency, Nasa-funded universities, and national space agencies from Pakistan to Thailand. A successful manned landing before 2030 would boost China’s plans to build a “basic model” of the International Lunar Research Station by 2035. This manned base, led by China and Russia, would include a nuclear reactor on the moon’s surface as a power source. Published in Dawn, August 8th, 2025

Employer forecasts point to a sharp drop in demand for a wide range of traditional roles over the next five years, with clerical positions expected to see the largest cuts. The figures come from a global survey of more than a thousand companies employing over 14 million people, compiled in the World Economic Forum’s latest jobs report. It ranks the occupations most likely to lose ground between 2025 and 2030. Postal clerks face the steepest decline, with projections showing a fall of around 40 percent. Bank tellers follow closely with a 35 percent drop, while data entry specialists are expected to contract by roughly a third. These jobs rely heavily on repetitive processing tasks, which employers are increasingly assigning to automated systems. Retail and administrative work is also under strain. Cashiers, ticket clerks, and administrative assistants all feature high on the list, with estimated declines ranging from about 28 to 30 percent. Bookkeeping and payroll clerks, along with material-recording staff such as stock keepers, could see reductions of more than one-fifth. Transportation attendants and conductors appear just behind them with a 21 percent forecast fall. Some occupations tied to customer outreach and sales are also projected to shrink. Door-to-door sellers, street vendors, and similar roles are expected to drop by about 20 percent. Graphic designers sit at the same level, while claims adjusters, legal officials, and legal secretaries are each predicted to see losses between 17 and 19 percent. Telemarketing is projected to fall by around 16 percent. Technology is a driving force behind many of these changes, though real-world results have not always matched early promises. Some systems promoted as fully automated have required significant human oversight to work reliably, and certain AI-driven services have been scaled back when they failed to handle practical challenges. Even so, most employers in the survey anticipate steady advances in automation, pushing them to reshape their staffing plans. The report suggests that by 2030, workplaces will be more dependent on technology for routine operations, while human staff will be concentrated in areas where adaptability, problem-solving, and complex interaction are essential.

Reports from the Federal Trade Commission show that people aged 60 and over lost a combined $700 million to scams in 2024. The number is the highest the agency has recorded for this group. Four years earlier, the losses were about $121 million, so the jump has been steep. Compared to 2023’s total of $542 million, the latest figure is roughly a third higher. Biggest Losses in the Six-Figure Range A large part of the 2024 total came from those who lost more than $100,000. That group reported $445 million in losses. Mid-range cases between $10,000 and $100,000 accounted for another $214 million, while smaller sums under $10,000 made up $41 million. How the Scams Worked Many of the cases followed a familiar pattern. Criminals pretended to be government officials, staff from large companies, or even representatives of the FTC itself. Victims were told their bank accounts had suspicious activity or that their Social Security numbers were linked to crimes. Others were told their computers were infected. Often the first contact came online. In many cases it didn’t stop there, with follow-up calls used to pressure people into quick decisions. Some were instructed to transfer money into cryptocurrency kiosks. Others were told to hand cash or gold to couriers or send funds to accounts they didn’t recognize. The FTC warns that genuine agencies will never ask for these actions. Why Older Adults Are Targeted The age group often has larger savings and tends to show more trust toward official-looking communication. Some are less familiar with technology, which can make it easier for scammers to succeed. In serious cases, victims have been left without retirement funds or other financial support. Part of a Bigger Problem While the losses among seniors are striking, scams affected all ages. Across the country, reported losses from fraud in 2024 came to $12.5 billion. That’s the largest yearly total since the FTC began tracking and about a quarter more than the year before. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools.

Palestinians in Gaza who depend on online fundraising to get food, medicine, or other essentials are finding it harder to keep their accounts active. Bluesky, a social media platform that many use to reach potential donors, has been removing profiles linked to these campaigns within days of their creation. For people relying on the money to meet daily needs, losing an account means starting over almost immediately. Some have opened dozens of profiles over a few months. Each time one is taken down, they rebuild from scratch, trying to reconnect with supporters who might have seen their earlier posts. That often means following large numbers of people in a short period or tagging past contacts in new posts, which makes the accounts look automated to Bluesky’s systems and increases the risk of another removal, as spotted by TheGuardian . Grassroots Checks on Genuine Campaigns In May last year, a volunteer based in Germany began informally confirming that certain Gaza-based fundraisers were real. The process started after she helped a contact raise money successfully and then began hearing from others in similar situations. Over time she kept a list of verified accounts, each allowed to use a small badge in their profile and posts to signal that someone had checked their identity. Her vetting can involve a video call, a referral from someone she already trusts, or documents proving the person’s location and circumstances. While this reassurance helps donors feel more confident, it does not stop Bluesky’s automated filters from removing accounts. Many people still wait weeks for verification, and not everyone is approved. Daily Costs and Scarce Supplies The need for these campaigns is immediate. Aid groups say food shortages in Gaza have reached extreme levels, with families unable to secure even basic items. When flour, milk, or diapers are available, prices are far higher than before the blockade. A single day’s donations can make the difference between someone eating or going hungry.

This requires complete trust in strangers, and some have lost significant amounts when a campaign host withheld part of the funds. Pressure for Platform Changes Similar verification groups exist on other platforms such as Instagram, X, and Tumblr. Yet even with confirmation from these networks, Bluesky’s systems often flag genuine campaigns as spam. More than 7,000 users have signed open letters urging the company to adjust its moderation rules for fundraising accounts linked to Gaza. Bluesky has said it wants users in Gaza to be heard while following its guidelines. Those working with fundraisers report that appeals against account closures rarely get responses, and many profiles vanish within a few days of being set up. For people trying to raise enough to buy food for tomorrow, the loss of an account is not only a technical setback but also a break in the fragile connection to donors who might keep them alive.

BENGALURU: Indian outsourcing giant Tata Consultancy Services’ decision to cut over 12,000 jobs signals the start of a broader AI-fueled trend that could end up eliminating around half a million jobs over the next two to three years from the $283 billion sector, experts said. While TCS pegged the move to shed 2% of its workforce to skill mismatches rather than AI-related productivity gains, experts viewed the largest-ever layoffs by India’s top private employer as the beginning of things to come in the labour-intensive sector. Roughly 12,200 TCS middle and senior management jobs will be lost. The industry, which has played a crucial role in creating a middle class in India, is increasingly seeing AI being used for everything from basic coding to manual testing and customer support. The sector employed 5.67 million people as of March 2025 and accounted for over 7% of India’s GDP. It has a huge multiplier effect due to the direct and indirect jobs it creates and the cars-to-homes consumption it drives in the world’s fifth-largest economy. It has historically absorbed a majority of India’s engineers but that will change as rising AI use ekes out more efficiencies and demands newer skills that many current employees lack, according to half a dozen industry veterans, analysts, and staffing firms. “We are in the midst of a massive transition that will transform white-collar work as we know it,” said Silicon Valley-based Constellation Research founder and chairman Ray Wang, echoing other experts who warned that more layoffs are likely on the cards. India’s TCS to cut 12,000 jobs The most vulnerable employees include pure people managers with minimal tech knowledge, those in charge of testing or identifying bugs and ensuring user-friendliness before delivering software to clients, and infrastructure management staff who provide basic tech support and ensure networks and servers are working well, experts said. “About 400,000 to 500,000 professionals are at risk of being laid off over the next two to three years as their skills don’t match client demands,” tech market intelligence firm UnearthInsight’s founder Gaurav Vasu said, adding that about 70% of those layoffs would impact workers with 4-12 years’ experience. “This (fear stemming from TCS layoffs) may hurt consumer demand for tourism, luxury shopping and even delay long-term investments such as real estate,” Vasu said. TCS and its peers Infosys, HCLTech, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, LTIMindtree, and Cognizant collectively employ over 430,000 workers with 13 to 25 years of experience, according to staffing firm Xpheno. “At the moment, they may appear like the big fat middle layer,” Xpheno’s co-founder Kamal Karanth said. None of the IT firms responded to Reuters queries seeking comment. “With cost optimization being the key driver for new deal wins, clients are asking for productivity benefits - a trend which is also growing due to the rise in AI adoption. This requires IT firms to do more work with the same number of employees or the same work with fewer employees,” Jefferies analyst Akshat Agarwal said in a research note. Adapt or perish TCS, which had more than 613,000 workers before the layoffs, said in its late July announcement it was gearing up to be “future-ready” by investing in new technologies, entering new markets, deploying AI at scale for its clients and itself, and realigning its workforce model. It did not answer Reuters queries on how many layoffs were tied to AI adoption and why it could not redeploy the affected employees. “This is very devastating news,” said a 45-year-old, Kolkata-based TCS employee affected by the latest layoffs. “It is very difficult for people my age to get new jobs.” Some others who are still at TCS fretted over its mediocre performance bonuses for senior employees in recent quarters, a new “bench policy” that limits the time somebody could be without a project regardless of personal circumstances or past performance, on-boarding delays, and the emotional turmoil caused by the layoffs. “All these developments have tanked the morale of mid-career folks like me,” a Pune-based TCS employee said. The Indian outsourcing sector has been a key employment engine since the 1990s, offering upward mobility to millions of engineers. But revenue growth has weakened recently as its clients, stung by inflation and U.S. tariff uncertainty, defer discretionary spending and demand better cost management. “The tech industry is at an inflection point, as AI and automation move to the very core of how businesses operate,” industry body Nasscom said. During past tech revolutions, disruption was felt at the organisational level. “With AI, for the first time, the onus is on the individual to reinvent or re-skill themselves,” former Tech Mahindra CEO CP Gurnani said.

A study from the University of Waterloo and the University of Guelph examined how people with different levels of technical skill judge whether software is safe to install. Thirty-six participants were split into three groups: basic, intermediate, and advanced. Each person took part in two lab sessions using Windows laptops prepared to run real benign and malicious programs without risk to other systems. Software was sent through a simulated workplace chat system to mimic a typical office scenario. Each participant received six files per session, half of which were genuine tools and half recompiled samples of ransomware, remote access trojans, or cryptocurrency miners. None of the files were labelled, and participants were free to search online or use built-in tools to investigate. First Session Without Extra Tools In the initial round, users relied only on what came with the operating system or could be found on the internet. Malware was correctly identified 88 percent of the time, but safe software was mistaken for harmful in many cases, leading to a lower 62 percent accuracy rate for benign files. Most decisions took around four to five minutes, though faster judgments often had more errors. Analysis of participant notes revealed four main types of indicators: details about the installation file, the program’s behaviour after running, its visual design, and information from outside sources. Within these categories, 25 more specific factors were identified, such as file signatures, CPU usage, network destinations, and online search results. Second Session With Enhanced Process Data The second round introduced a custom-built task manager showing extra process details, including resource use, files accessed, and the country linked to any network connections. No guidance was given on how to interpret the information. With this additional view, malware detection improved to 94 percent and overall accuracy rose to 80 percent. Correct classification of benign programs improved slightly but remained below malware accuracy. Participants who already understood system metrics used the tool to confirm suspicions quickly. Less experienced users found the added information useful but sometimes struggled to judge what it meant. The enhanced display of network destinations, in particular, led many to question software that connected to unexpected countries. Indicators That Shape Judgments Advanced participants relied on technical signs like resource load or suspicious network activity. Basic users paid more attention to file names, icons, and the overall look of the software. Misunderstandings were common. Some believed that a neat interface meant a program was safe. Others assumed the shield icon on an installer confirmed safety, when it actually indicated a request for higher privileges. False positives were often caused by outdated designs, unfamiliar publishers, or installer behaviour that appeared unusual but was harmless. The same feature could push one person toward suspicion and another toward trust, showing how personal experience influences decisions. Implications for System Design The study highlights that while many people can spot harmful software in realistic conditions, safe programs are more likely to be flagged as threats. Small improvements to operating system tools, such as clearer displays of file activity and network connections, could help users make better decisions. By collecting more than 2,600 real-time observations, the research offers insight into how people investigate unknown files. It shows that improving the clarity and accessibility of key indicators may raise detection accuracy without requiring advanced technical training.

A group of researchers has shown that advanced language models can reflect how the human brain interprets what it sees. The work used detailed brain scans and computer models to study how people understand complex, real-world scenes. It combined neuroscience with machine learning to find patterns linking brain activity to artificial intelligence outputs. Participants viewed thousands of images while lying in a 7-Tesla MRI scanner. The images came from a public photo database and included varied situations such as street views, people at work, animals in their habitats, and objects in familiar places. Each picture had several human-written captions describing its content. Matching AI to Brain Signals The captions were processed through MPNet, a large language model designed to turn sentences into compact numerical representations called embeddings. These embeddings were compared with brain activity patterns using a method known as representational similarity analysis. In higher-level visual areas, the AI-generated patterns aligned closely with the human brain’s responses. A second test used the brain data to predict the language model embeddings, then matched these predictions to a large library of captions. This allowed the researchers to reconstruct short textual descriptions of the images people had seen. Importance of Full Context Models that used only lists of objects, single words, or limited parts of speech showed weaker alignment with brain activity. Embeddings created from full sentences performed best, suggesting that combining all the information in a caption is important for reflecting how the brain processes meaning. Building Vision Models from Language The team also trained recurrent convolutional neural networks to take images as input and predict the language model embeddings for their captions. These networks matched brain responses more closely than many top computer vision systems, despite being trained on far fewer images. When directly compared to otherwise identical networks trained only to classify objects, the language-trained versions produced richer internal representations that explained brain activity better. Interpreting the Results The results suggest that the brain may convert visual information into a high-dimensional form similar to how a language model encodes text meaning. This process appears to keep both object details and the wider relationships between elements in a scene. Future Use The researchers say this approach could help design AI systems that see and interpret more like people do. It may also lead to improvements in brain–computer interfaces and visual aids for people with sight loss. The work offers a possible common framework for studying complex meaning in the brain by connecting insights from vision research, computational modelling, and language processing.

America is the land of opportunity, and these opportunities emerge in an endless variety of ways to work and make money. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, about 670,000 businesses open in the U.S. each year, ranging from brick-and-mortar locations to remote startups. The US thrives on small businesses, which make up a majority of our economic landscape. Although traditionally there’s a stereotype of the young entrepreneur, which leads to many believing that ideas come from the youth, the fact of the matter is that years of real-life, professional experience can pave the way for the “next big thing.” In fact, the Association for Entrepreneurship reports that freedom and passion outweigh financial motivations for small business owners, and over half stated the main reason they started a business was to gain control over their careers and be their own bosses. So, does age matter in this vast, entrepreneurial landscape? Ooma , a business phone services provider, analyzed Census Bureau data to determine where small business owners are the oldest and youngest on average across the country. Here’s what they found. . How old is the average business owner in the US? Ooma’s study found that the average age of a small-to-medium business owner in the United States is 54 years old, ranging from 49 years old in Provo, UT, to about 59 years old in Santa Fe, NM. By definition , this qualifies the average business owners across all 50 states as “middle-aged,” challenging the stereotype of “young entrepreneur.” Furthermore, a separate Harvard study found that most successful founders averaged around 40 when they began, and recent research found that a 60-year-old starting a new business is three times more likely to succeed than someone in their 30s. Data shows time and time again that age and experience, both in life and in work, are assets, not hindrances to being an entrepreneur. Establishing a successful business often requires skills, resources, and connections, which take time to cultivate– something established professionals are more equipped to have. Experience is priceless too; understanding the industry and knowing how to navigate the pain points and pitfalls can help a small to medium business venture thrive. And while younger entrepreneurs may be in a better position to take risks, without real-world experience, these risks can fuel the high rate of business closures in this country. Which U.S. cities have the oldest business owners? Santa Fe, NM, is home to the oldest business owners in the country, with the average age being about 59 years old. Home to an older population (especially retirees) and a slower population growth, Santa Fe does have a higher-than-average cost of living. This higher cost of living may dissuade young professionals from moving in and pave the way for more established, local professionals to serve their local community confidently with their business offerings. Napa, CA, houses the second oldest population of business owners with an average age of 57. Similar to Santa Fe, Napa is also a retiree-friendly city with a high cost of living. Monroe, LA, came in 3rd place, with an average age of around 57 as well. Notably, this city has a slowly shrinking population, which may explain why the average age skews older. But, while its population is currently declining, hope is on the horizon for the local economy and aspiring business owners. In 2025, Mid South Extrusion announced a $12.5 million investment in its manufacturing facility in Monroe, bringing new jobs to the area. Additionally, Meta selected a site within 30 miles of Monroe to build its $10 billion Artificial Intelligence Optimized Data Center , breathing new life into Louisiana’s economy as a whole. Perhaps over time, the population will grow and breathe new life into the local entrepreneurial scene. Which U.S. cities have the youngest business owners? Provo, UT, has the youngest business owners in the country with an average age of 49 years old. And in fact, Utah as a state is home to 4 of the top 10 metropolitan areas in this list. Why has Utah become so popular for young business owners? According to Utah Business :“One key driver of Utah's success is its commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment. The state consistently ranks highly for its low taxes, minimal regulatory burdens, and strong economic performance.” Perhaps even more striking is that over 99% of Utah’s businesses fall into the small business category , showcasing how it has become a prime cultivator for entrepreneurial success. Provo is described as being “filled with unique small businesses ”, including candle-making boutiques, curated vintage thrift stores, and old-fashioned ice cream parlors. Bozeman, MT, is in second place, with an average age of 51 years old. At one point, Bozeman was the fastest-growing city in Montana , which likely fueled the lower average of business owners in the local area. And with that in mind, Bozeman has been recognized nationally for its bustling entrepreneurial scene. For example, Entrepreneur ranked Montana as the best state for startups in 2025 , due to its high survival rates and high number of startups per capita. Fargo, ND, ranked 3rd place with an average age of 51 years old. Fargo is the state’s largest city with a population that skews younger, attracting younger folks and families. In fact, Fargo has been recognized as America’s #1 Next Boomtown . Affordability may be a big draw for younger entrepreneurs, as the state has a relatively low cost of living. Should you start a business regardless of age? So, should you start a business regardless of your age? The data shows that age may not be just a number. The older and more experienced you are, the better your chances of leading a successful business. If you have an idea and want to learn more about how to get started, visit your local Chamber of Commerce to find out what options you have. You may have an entrepreneurial spirit, and it’s never too late to explore what this might mean for you and your professional life.
