[h=3]Ultra-rare galaxy could be 'one of a kind'[/h]NASA's Cassini spacecraft took these images of the planet's mysterious hexagon-shaped jetstream in early December 2016. The hexagon was discovered in images taken by the Voyager spacecraft in the early 1980s. It's estimated to have a diameter wider than two Earths. Scientists are still trying to figure out what causes it. Cassini was launched in 1997 and is beginning the end of its mission. The probe will dive into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15, 2017, sending back data until its signal is lost.

The world's first 3-screen laptop is mind-blowing

The Razer Project Valerie is a three-screen concept laptop that will blow you away. Have you ever wondered what a 17-inch laptop would look like if someone strapped two extra screens to its sides? Well, that’s both an oddly specific thought, and exactly what the insane folks at PC gaming company Razer have dreamt up with their new Project Valerie concept laptop.

    [h=3]Scientists Say They Know Where MH370 Is-Just as Money Runs Out to Find It[/h]Scientists working on the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 are more confident than they have ever been that they know where the airplane went down. And yet after looking in the wrong place for 27 months, the search is about to end for want of funds. Two weeks ago the Australian Transport Safety Bureau admitted that an area of 46,000 square miles in the southern Indian Ocean where the search has been conducted “is unlikely to contain the missing aircraft.” At the same time they said “the most likely location” of the Boeing 777 was in an area of 9,600 square miles north of the original search area. On the heels of those statements the Australian transport minister, Darren Chester, said that

[h=3]This city now allows women to carry knives for 'self protection' on metro trains[/h]In a bizarre state of affairs, women travelling in metro trains in India's capital city of New Delhi, can now carry knives for "self-protection". The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has allowed small knives (up to 4 inches), Hindustan Times reported. Even lighters and matchboxes, which were restricted earlier, have been removed from the list of banned items. SEE ALSO: Bangalore's 'Night of Shame': Mass molestation in India's Silicon Valley on New Year's Eve "However, we examine the tools and make an entry in a register so that the passenger can be traced if needed,” a CISF official told the publication.

Tech Mahindra Ltd. fell 4.5 percent. The Sensex Index was mostly unchanged. The bill is designed to make it harder for companies in the U.S. to bring in skilled workers from abroad to fill high-tech jobs.

India's Bengaluru Metropolis Is Becoming Increasingly Dangerous For Women

This year marks a decade since my family moved to Bangalore. On our arrival, in 2007, the city was still known more for its green gardens than its tech startups, but of course that changed soon enough. And with that change came its steady transformation into a mega metropolis, luring even more migrants from across the country with the promise of more jobs, better jobs. Today’s Bengaluru shows all the glittering signs of economic progress: Indians and expats making money and spending it well, often inside gargantuan shopping malls filled with foreign brands. Buzzing bars and restaurants are packed with people, young and old; a hipster coffee revolution is brewing, and the likes of Uber, Paytm,

[h=3]Japan withdraws ambassador to South Korea over WWII sex slave statue[/h]A row between Japan and South Korea has erupted over a statue dedicated to wartime sex slaves, prompting Tokyo to withdraw its ambassador. The statue, representing one of the South Korean women kept as sex slaves by the Japanese military in World War II, was installed by activists in the South Korean city of Busan on December 28, 2016, in protest at a deal struck between Tokyo and Seoul the previous year. After Japan had offered an apology for condoning the taking of so-called “comfort women,” it promised to give 1 billion yen ($8.6m) to a Korean women’s fund.

Miriam Juarez's plea agreement, disclosed Thursday in federal court, says she helped smuggle at least 10 people in cars from November 2015 to September 2016 at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, charging them $15,000 each. Juarez and her husband, Gilberto Aguilar, were arrested in September during a traffic stop following a lengthy investigation by the FBI Border Corruption Task Force, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.
