‘1989 Taylor’s Version’ Collaborator Predictions
With the highly anticipated release of 1989 Taylor’s Version only a little over a month away, countless theories about potential featured artists have been circulating. Unlike previous albums, 1989 TV has an air of mystery surrounding the featured singers. In an age where Taylor Swift has interacted with almost every big name in pop, the key to accurately predicting the featured artists on her latest rerecord may lie in the past. In 2014, when 1989 was originally released, Swift had a very different social scene than she does currently. Whichever artists do appear on 1989 TV, both on the vault tracks and the already established songs, fans are more excited than ever for a new release from pop’s biggest name.

Whole world lauds Sheikh Hasina for her development works: Anisul
Bangladesh is now a role model of development for the whole world," Anisul said. He said this while addressing virtually a function organised by Kasba Upazila Awami League in Kasba Upazila Parishad Auditorium in Brahmanbaria, marking the 77th birthday of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Their only goal was to plunder the country and destroy Awami League, he further said. Anisul urged all to resist BNP-Jamaat's politics of destruction and vote for Awami League in the coming election. Presided over by Municipality Mayor Golam Hakkani, the program was also addressed by Upazila Awami League general secretary Rashedul Kawser Bhuiyan Jibon, former Upazila chairman Ruhul Amin Bhuiyan Bokul and Emran Uddin Jewel, among others.

India space chief unfazed by Moon mission's apparent end
NEW DELHI, Sept 29, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - As hopes dim of further contact with India's Moon rover, the country's space chief has said he was satisfied with the prospect of calling its successful lunar mission to an end. India began exploring the Moon's surface in August after becoming just the fourth nation to land a craft on the celestial body, sparking celebrations in a country rapidly closing in on milestones set by global space powers. The Indian Space Research Agency had hoped to prolong the mission by reactivating the solar-powered vehicle once daylight returned to the lunar surface, but so far has been greeted by radio silence. It has a comparatively low-budget space programme, but one that has grown considerably in size and momentum since first sending a probe to orbit the Moon in 2008. August's successful lunar mission came four years after its predecessor crashed on final descent, in what was seen at the time as a huge setback for its space programme.
