July 26 is commemorated as ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’ every year in order to pay homage to the sacrifices made by the heroes of the Indian Army to attain victory over Pakistan and recapture all Indian territories in the Dras sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kargil district. Tuesday marks the 23rd anniversary of the end of the Kargil War. In the war, the Indian Army launched ‘Operation Vijay’ to recapture strategic posts that had been occupied by Pakistani forces, who trespassed across the Line of Control dressed as Kashmiri insurgents. The war was fought for 84 days from May 3 to July 26, with hundreds of soldiers dying on both sides. Also read: Woman who opened fire inside Dallas Love Field Airport identified as Portia Odufuwa,Why was the war fought?,It started on May 2, 1999, when a local shepherd saw some men breaking stones and clearing the snow. He noticed that there were no footprints in the snow leading to spot where they were, making it obvious that they had come from the other side. He informed the Indian Army of the same, who soon learned of the Pakistani plot to capture strategic locations along the mountain ridges. ,The intruders did not wear uniforms and instead were clad in Pathani outfit, with Pakistan later denying their involvement, claiming Kashmiri insurgents were responsible for the conflict. However, documents retrieved from the intruders proved they were Pakistan military personnel. They also gave medals to their soldiers for the conflict. ,Also read: Flash Flood Warning issued in NYC, NJ: What we know so far,It is believed the entire operation was the brainchild of then-Pakistan army chief Pervez Musharraf, and that he orchestrated the conflict while keeping then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the dark. How was the war fought?,There were three main phases of the Kargil War. The first being the intrusion by the Pakistan military personnel into Indian-controlled Kashmir and capturing of a number of key high points in the mountainous ridges. ,The second phases includes India capturing a number of key transportation routes into the sectors with the Indian military pushing back the Pakistan forces back across the Line of Control in the third phase. Also read: Stephen Buyer, former Indiana Rep, arrested in insider trading case,The Indian Air Force and Navy were involved in the warfare, launching ‘Operation White Sagar’ and ‘Opearation Talwar’ to bomb fortified enemy positions and blockade Pakistani ports respectively. The IAF had reportedly asked to bomb target in Pakistan as well, but the request was denied by then-Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. ,The conflict is an example of high-altitude warfare, with “furious artillery clashes, air battles and costly infantry assaults by Indian troops against well dug-in Pakistani forces” as noted by Bruce Riedel, a director in the former US president Bill Clinton’s administration, in an Indian Express article available in the MEA archives. ,How many were killed in the war?,India suffered considerable losses in the war, with 527 soldiers killed and at least 1,363 suffering injuries. On the Pakistani side, it is estimated that somewhere between 357 and 453 soldiers were killed. ,The aftermath,Four Param Vir Chakra and 11 Vir Chakra, India's highest and third-highest military decorations, were among the awards given to Indian soldiers following the war. ,India increased its spending in the defence sector after the Kargil War. It also completely overhauled its intelligence setup and significantly decreased the average age of Armed Forces personnel, based on recommendations of the Kargil Review Committee (KRC). The KRC had also recommended the creation of a new post – Chief of Defence Staff in 1999, and it was created in 2020 , with General Bipin Rawat taking over as the first CDS on January 1. ,Additionally, the Defence Intelligence Agency (2002) and the National Technical Research Organisation (2004) were also created as reformative steps following the war.

Holi is the festival of colours and joy.

A jury found fallen Silicon Valley star Elizabeth Holmes guilty of fraud for turning her blood-testing startup Theranos into a sophisticated sham — one that duped billionaires and other unwitting investors into backing a seemingly revolutionary company whose medical technology never worked as Holmes promised. Holmes was born in the American capital of Washington DC to accomplished parents - her father Christian Rasmus Holmes IV was a vice president at energy firm Enron and later held executive positions at government agencies such as USAID, EPA and USTDA while her mother worked as a Congressional committee staffer. ,She studied chemical engineering at the Stanford University in 2002 and worked as a student researcher and laboratory assistant in the School of Engineering. ,She dropped out of college in March, 2004 and user her tuition money as seed funding for a consumer healthcare technology company. Her founded the company 'Real-Time Cures' in Palo Alto, California, which she said was to democratise healthcare. ,Also Read | John McAfee, creator of famous '80s antivirus software, faces charges for fraud,The idea of testing small amounts of blood samples for vast amounts of data came from her fear of needles, thus giving birth to Theranos', which was rebranded from Real-Time Cures, unique selling point. ,An admirer of Steve Jobs, she styled herself in his image, often dressing in a black turtleneck sweater like the Apple founder and speaking in a deep baritone voice in most public appearances. However, there are conflicting reports about the Jobs impersonification, with Holmes and her family other reasons for the same. ,By the end of 2010, Theranos had accumulated over $92 million in venture capital and boasted an illustrious board of directors. In 2014, Forbes recognised her as the world's youngest female self-made billionaire and ranked her 110 on the Forbes 400, with the company itself valued at around $9 billion at its peak. ,Things started unravelling in 2015, when a Wall Street Journal expose revealed uncertainties about the accuracy and viability of the Theranos blood testing tech. Also Read | Trump tax record: 18-month court battle, and now over to Manhattan DA ,By 2016, the company was flooded with lawsuits and multiple government investigations, which found irregularities and finally being charged after investigations found their failures jeopardised patients' health. ,In 2018, Holmes and former Theranos Chief Operating Officer Ramesh 'Sunny' Balwani - who was also Holmes' onetime lover -were indicted on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit fraud. Both pleaded not guilty and could face up to 20 years in prison. ,Her trial, already delayed thrice by the coronavirus pandemic, was set to start in July but is likely to be delayed again over her news of pregnancy. Balwani's trial is set to start in January 2022.

Animals come in all shapes and sizes. Some without shapes as well, like the jellyfish, just blobs of life floating around.

Dumbo Octopus,These are a type of umbrella octopus, which are pretty commonly found all around the world. They get their name from the Disney character ‘Dumbo’, due to similarities in their ears. ,2. Red-Lipped Batfish,Also known as the Galapagos batfish, this fish is found in the waters around the Galapagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean.
