Mankind always dreams to build something megalithic if we follow the history of this planet. Starting from the <span style="color: #47a7d7;">Great Pyramid of Giza</span> built by the<span style="color: #47a7d7;">pharaohs</span>, to the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom, ancient architectures throughout the world are found to support the evidence of the efforts to construct something challenging. In the modern world where science and technology dominates everything, a culture of constructing humongous architecture again boomed during late 90s. It is not only the race to build <span style="color: #47a7d7;">mega structures</span>, but also a fascinating journey to the <span style="color: #47a7d7;">greenest buildings</span> mankind has ever seen. UAE, China, India, Malaysia and many different countries of Asia are all in this race. So, here is the list of Top 10 Tallest Buildings in Asia.</div>

<strong class="location">LOS ANGELES: </strong>
<strong>A red 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta, which is said to be 
one of only a handful, has recently been sold for $38.1 million in 
California, becoming the most expensive car ever sold.</strong><br />

</div>
The car, with the chassis number 3851 GT, belonged to the Maranello 
Rosso Collection. It was auctioned at Monterey Car Week near San 
Francisco. The auctioneers did not name the new buyer.<br />

The Ferrari sold has a checkered past. Its first owner was a French 
racer Jo Schlesser who drove the car in competition with his friend, the
 Olympian Alpine ski racer Henri Oreiller during the 1962 Tour de France
 Automobile.<br />

The second time the friends took the car out was during the Coupes du Salon race, where Oreiller crashed it and was killed.<br />

Bonhams said that the car was badly damaged after hitting a trackside
 building and a mourning Jo Schlesser returned it to the factory for 
repair to as-new condition and subsequent resale.<br />

The car was then purchased by Paolo Colombo from Italy the following 
year for competition, and was later sold to Ernesto Prinoth, who used it
 to embark upon an energetic programme of mixed hill climbing and 
circuit racing.<br />

In 1965, Italian enthusiast Fabrizio Violati bought the car and kept 
it until his death in 2010. Since then it has been retained by the 
Maranello Rosso Collezione.<br />

It’s the most expensive car to be sold ever, according to Bonhams. 
The previous record was held by a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196R Formula 1 
model that was sold in Britain last year for $30 million.<br />

Among the celebrities who own a Ferrari 250 GTO are the designer 
Ralph Lauren, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and the heir to the Wal-Mart
 supermarket chain, Rob Walton, according to <i>The Los Angeles Times</i>.

Pakistan rugby to make Asian Games debut

<strong class="location">KARACHI: </strong>
<strong>The Pakistan Rugby Union (PRU) will field the national team at the Asian Games for the first time in its history.</strong><br />

</div>
The squad will participate in the sevens event and according to PRU 
Secretary Arif Saeed, this will be Pakistan’s first high-profile event.<br />

“Before this, we have been participating in Asian tournaments or test
 series with India, but this is a great opportunity,” Saeed told <em>The Express Tribune</em>. “It’s a breakthrough for us. If all goes well, we will compete at the Asian Games.”<br />

Saeed added that preparations for the tournament are taking place and
 the players are training with temporary coach Chris Kumeroa of New 
Zealand.<br />

“Kumeroa is here for a short-term assignment,” said Saeed. “He is a sevens specialist and we are hoping to get good results.<br />

“But the dynamics of the game will be different. In the Asian Games, 
we can only use indigenous players and the nature of game itself is very
 different from 15-a-side format.<br />

“In fact, most countries have a different team for the sevens event, 
so preparing the national side for the Asian Games will be a different 
experience for us this time.”<br />

Saeed added that Pakistan can defeat teams like India and Mongolia, 
who are in the same division as Pakistan. However, he said that Japan, 
Hong Kong, Korea and even Sri Lanka could give the national team a tough
 time.<br />

<strong>Olympics calling</strong><br />

Rugby will be featured in the Olympics for the first time since 1924.
 This time, 12 teams will get a chance to qualify for the 2016 Rio Games
 sevens event.<br />

“It’s a great step,” said Saeed. “However, Pakistan will be focusing 
on the 2020 Olympics. The qualification path is open for this time as 
well, but there are 100 countries that play rugby and only 12 will 
compete at the main event, so our chances are almost non-existent.”<br />

<b>BAGHDAD: 
Militants carried out a "massacre" in the northern Iraqi village of 
Kocho, killing dozens of people, most of them members of the Yazidi 
religious minority, officials said on Saturday.</b><br />
<br />
Militants
 from the Islamic State (IS) group are carrying out attacks against 
minorities in Iraq´s Nineveh province, prompting tens of thousands of 
people to flee.<br />
<br />
"We have information from multiple 
sources, in the region and through intelligence, that (on Friday) 
afternoon, a convoy of (IS) armed men entered this village," senior 
Iraqi official Hoshyar Zebari told.<br />
<br />
"They took their 
revenge on its inhabitants, who happened to be mostly Yazidis who did 
not flee their homes," Zebari said, referring to a religious community 
regarded as heretics by militants.<br />
<br />
"They committed a massacre against the people," he said. "Around 80 of them have been killed."<br />
<br />
Harim
 Kamal Agha, a senior official of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party
 in Dohuk province, which borders Nineveh, put the death toll at 81 and 
said the militants had taken women to prisons they control.<br />
<br />
And Mohsen Tawwal, a Yazidi fighter, told by telephone that he saw a large number of bodies in the village.<br />
<br />
"We made it into a part of Kocho village, where residents were under siege, but we were too late," he said.<br />
<br />
"There were corpses everywhere. We only managed to get two people out alive. The rest had all been killed."<br />
<br />
Militants-led
 insurgents launched a major offensive in June that began in Nineveh and
 swept security forces aside, overrunning large areas of five provinces.<br />
<br />
In
 one of the most dramatic chapters of the conflict, the militants 
stormed the Sinjar area of northwestern Iraq earlier this month 
prompting tens of thousands of people, many of them Yazidis, to take 
refugee in the mountains.<br />
<br />
Kurdish fighters on the ground 
and US air strikes eventually helped most of those trapped to escape 
after more than 10 days under siege, but some remain in the mountains.<br />

Boeing, South African Airways to make jet fuel from tobacco

<br />
<b>JOHANNESBURG:
 US planemaker Boeing has teamed up with South African Airways to 
develop jet fuel from a tobacco plant as part of efforts to cut carbon 
emissions and promote green energy in Africa's most advanced economy.</b><br />
<br />
The
 jet fuel will be made from a hybrid tobacco plant known as Solaris, 
which will be produced by alternative jet fuel maker SkyNRG, both 
companies said in a joint statement on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Test 
farming of the plants, which are nicotine-free, is ongoing in South 
Africa, with biofuel output expected in the "next few years", the 
companies said.<br />
<br />
"By using hybrid tobacco, we can leverage 
knowledge of tobacco growers in South Africa to grow a marketable 
biofuel crop without encouraging smoking," Ian Cruickshank, SAA's Group 
Environmental Affairs Specialist, said.<br />
<br />
This biofuel has 
potential in several regions where traditional tobacco is cultivated, 
including Africa, southern and central Europe, Asia, Oceania and Latin 
America, Boeing spokeswoman Jessica Kowal said.<br />
<br />
South 
Africa has set the beginning of October next year as the date when fuel 
producers will start blending diesel and petrol with biofuel to cut its 
reliance on imported fuel.<br />
<br />
The biofuels industry in South 
Africa, the continent's biggest agricultural producer, has been held 
back by an inadequate regulatory regime and concerns that biofuels would
 hurt food security and impact food prices.<br />
