Brands and creators exploit this by selling ready-made identities, leading to overconsumption and environmental strain. This trend prioritises perception over utility, turning curated identities into disposable consumption.
KKR Star Andre Russell Announces IPL Retirement, To Join Franchise As 'power Coach'
West Indies all-rounder and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) power hitter Andre Russell announced his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL) ahead of the mini auction slated for December 16 but added that he would join the three-time champions as the power coach. The Windies batter announced his decision via a video message he shared on his social media with a caption, Hanging up my IPL boots but not the swagger. What a ride its been in the IPL 12 seasons of memories and a whole lot of love from the KKR family. Ill still be smashing sixes and taking wickets in every other league around the world. And the best part? Im not leaving home youll see me in a new role, in KKRs Support Staff, as the POWER COACH of 2026. New chapter. Same energy. Forever a Knight. In 12 IPL season, Russell played 140 matches, scoring 2651 runs at a strike rate of 174.18 and took 123 wickets at an economy of 9.51 with a best bowling figure of 5 for 15. He made his IPL debut in 2012 with Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) before moving to KKR in 2014. He then went to play 133 matches for the Kolkata-based franchise, winning two titles (2014 and 2024) along the way. I had some amazing times and great memories. Hitting sixes, winning games, MVP and all of those things. But sometimes you just have to know when to hang up the boots. When I made this decision, I just felt like 'Yes, this is the best decision.' I don't want to fade out. I want to leave a legacy, and it's best to retire when fans ask, 'Why? You still have some more in you; you still could go for a bit longer,' rather than say, 'Yeah, you should have done it years back.' We are part of the Instagram world, so when you're going through your feed, you keep seeing yourself in different jerseys and, you know, friends, team-mates sending you stuff and, like, 'You're looking good in this jersey. What do you think' and I'm like, 'Hmmm, I look weird in that jersey'. And it's just those thoughts that's been going through my head. I had a few sleepless nights. There have been a lot of conversations between me and Venky Mysore, and also Shah Rukh Khan, about another chapter in my IPL journey, and they have shown me respect and love, and they appreciate whatever I have been doing in the field, and to be in a setup where I'm familiar, that matters to me a lot.

Anekal residents in Bengaluru demand repair of neglected roads
BENGALURU: Hundreds of residents from Chandapura, Heelalige, Sampige Nagar, Anantha Nagar and 17 villages in Anekal Taluk raised slogans demanding better roads before the Tasildhars office on Saturday. The agitators later handed over a memorandum. The Tasildhar has assured the agitators that their concerns will be addressed. The agitators claim that the road, which starts from Huskur Road and connects Anantha Nagara and Heelalige, has been in a bad shape for the last 20 years and is awaiting asphalt for the same period. As per residents under the banner of the Anekal Citizens Welfare Committee, presidents of Mutthanallur, Chandapura and Singena Agrahara, along with hundreds of farmers, also attended the protest and demanded road infrastructure. The Tasildhar was not there, but on his behalf, Shirastedar collected the memorandum. The official from the Taluk Office has told that some work are with the Public Works Department and some are under the Gram Panchayat. The representation will be sent to the department concerned. The official also stated that ongoing work on the Singena Agrhara to AMPC Marker in Huskur will be completed. We issued a warning that the work should be done at the earliest and quality should not be compromised, said Shivaram Reddy, a farmer from Chandapura. A senior resident from Mutthanallur grampanchayat said, 50-plus apartment community representatives have come to demand better road infrastructure and also expressed concern over the absence of a drain network at Singena Agrhara to AMPC Marker in Huskur. The ongoing black topping work is a concern, and the thickness is not much. That apart, due to the absence of a drain, the stormwater will flow on the road, and the tar may get washed away, said the resident. The residents claimed that, due to bad roads, officegoers and school and college students are suffering the most as the bad road stretch is causing delay and the journey is becoming dangerous and stressful on daily basis.

CHANDIGARH: A 30-year-old Indian student from Haryana, Vijay Kumar Sheoran, has been stabbed to death in the United Kingdom. His family has written to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar seeking assistance to bring his mortal remains back to India for the last rites. The West Mercia Police in the United Kingdom stated on 28 November, We continue to appeal for information after a murder investigation was launched in Worcester. On Tuesday morning (25 November) around 4:15 am, a 30-year-old man was found by officers on Barbourne Road in Worcester with serious injuries. He was taken to hospital but sadly died later that day. Five men were arrested on suspicion of murder and are now on bail as the investigation continues. Detective Chief Inspector Lee Holehouse said, Over the course of the last few days, my team have been conducting extensive lines of enquiries to ascertain what happened on Tuesday morning and what led to a man losing his life. As part of these enquiries, officers will remain on Barbourne Road over the weekend, and I would like to reassure the community that this is to continue gathering evidence and the public should not be alarmed.

Protesters opposing ST status for six communities vandalise Assam's Bodoland council secretariat
GUWAHATI: Protesters, mostly students, vandalised Assams autonomous Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) secretariat in Kokrajhar on Saturday, opposing the state governments move to grant Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to six communities. Hundreds of protesters took out a march from the Bodoland University in Kokrajhar to the BTC secretariat at the call of Tribal Students of Bodoland, Assam who requested everyone to join and support this important movement. The protesters alleged that the government move to grant ST status to the six communities Tai Ahom, Chutia, Moran, Matak, Koch-Rajbongshi and Tea Tribe would undermine the rights of the Bodos and weaken their political, educational and economic safeguards. The situation spiralled when the protesters damaged the secretariat gate before storming its premises. They also vandalised furniture inside the Assembly building. After going about with their job, they came out of the building and continued the protest. The situation normalised when senior officials of the district administration, led by the district commissioner and the superintendent of police, arrived at the site. The protesters submitted a memorandum to them, setting a 24-hour deadline demanding that authorities address their issue. They further sought an audience with BTC Chief Executive Member Hagrama Mohilary. The protesters warned that they would intensify the agitation if the government went ahead with its decision on the six communities. Trouble has been brewing in some parts of Assam for the past two months on the ST issue. The six communities hit the streets demanding ST status while the existing ST communities took out rallies opposing the government move. Recently, the state cabinet cleared a group of ministers report that recommended ST status for the six communities. The report will be sent to the central government after it is placed in the Assembly. With state elections due early next year, ruling BJP finds itself in a spot of bother. It is likely to face a protest whether or not ST status is granted to the six communities.

Walking is one of those habits everyone loves to love-it's easy, free, and packs a punch for your heart, mood, and waistline. But if you're counting on it to keep your bones rock-solid as the years add up, US cardiologist Dr. Jeremy London has a wake-up call. With more than 25 years as a cardiovascular surgeon, he says while strolling through the park feels great and supports overall health, it falls short on building real bone strength. The reason? Bones need serious mechanical stress to grow denser, and walking just doesn't deliver enough of a jolt.Dr. London simplifies it: Our skeletons respond to impact and resistance, such as that from jumping, lifting, or pressing against weight. The ordinary walk keeps you mobile and reduces risks, such as high blood pressure or slow metabolism, but it lacks the load that tells bones to toughen themselves up. And all of this matters much more when we reach middle age, particularly for women when estrogen levels fall and the risk of osteoporosis rises. He shared this in a recent Instagram reel, urging people not to abandon walking but to combine it with smarter moves for full-body protection.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Live is an enjoyable mess
The following contains mild spoilers for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Following its birth as a 1978 BBC Radio sitcom through its many and varied adaptations , Douglas Adams The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has become an enduring part of our culture. Despite the fact its satire centers on the anxieties of Britain at the tail end of the 70s, its unique wit and surrealism have brought it worldwide fame. It is a rite of passage for at least one subset of British teens and their anglophile cousins, as well as a tech culture shibboleth that has embedded itself in the broader culture . Now, it has been reborn as a live immersive theatre production at Londons Riverside Studios that preserves the series most singular quality: Its messiness. Given it started as a half-hour radio comedy, Hitchhikers plot is surreal, episodic and prone to (what appear to be) digressions. But the broad shape of each version of the story sees Arthur Dent waking up to discover bulldozers about to demolish his home to make way for a new highway. He is distracted from his protest by his friend Ford, who reveals he is not an out-of-work actor, but an alien researcher for a book called The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Minutes later, the Earth itself is demolished to make way for a new interstellar highway, but Ford and Arthur hitchhike onto one of the ships demolishing the planet. The book itself is in fact a small tablet containing a Wikipedia-style trove of knowledge that acts as the series narrator. Still wearing his pajamas, Arthur is dragged across the universe in various adventures which culminate in meeting a group of multi-dimensional aliens looking to discover the ultimate meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Subsequent radio series and novels take the same characters forward, backward and sideways with diminishing returns. Adams love of the long shaggy dog joke means that the ultimate question and the ultimate answer is What do you get if you multiply six by nine? Forty-Two. (Gods final message to his creation is a similar tale, revealed as We apologise for the inconvenience.) Image of the Vogon Cargo Hold, one of the immersive sets. Jason Ardizzone West / Hitchhikers Live Each adaptation is twisted and turned to suit its new format, so theres only a handful of essentials. Arthur, Ford, The Book, 42 and the Eagles Journey of the Sorcerer (the chorus of which is the theme) are the only mainstays. It should come as no surprise then that generous liberties have been taken here to compress the sprawling journey narrative into a format suitable for a live immersive theatre show. [If youre unfamiliar, rather than sit and watch the action unfold on a stage, youre instead walking around an environment with the story taking place in front of you. You can even engage with the actors directly at points, although only if you want to.] Here, youll be loitering in the bar of the Horse and Groom pub, the cargo hold of the Heart of Gold, the cargo hold of the Vogon destructor ship and the factory floor at Magrathea. Fenchurch and Arthur lock eyes at the Horse and Groom. Jason Ardizzone West / Hitchhikers Live To try and impose some degree of conventional narrative on the story, Hitchhikers Live takes the beats of the first story (in all its forms) and the romance from the fourth novel, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish . We spend most of our time with Ford (Oliver Britten), while Arthur (Robert Thompson) flits in and out of the narrative as part of his universe-spanning quest to reunite with his beloved Fenchurch (Kat Johns-Burke). We get to spend a little time with Zaphod Beeblebrox (Lee V-G) and Slartibartfast (Richard Costello), while (one form of) Trisha McMillan (Lenora Crichlow) only appears as a recorded voice identified with a photo that looks a lot like a publicity shot from Avenue 5 rather than one taken fresh for this show. Slartibartfast (Richard Costello) holds court on the factory floor of Magrathea. Jason Ardizzone West / Hitchhikers Live Hitchhikers digressive surrealism means it struggles against the limits imposed upon it by any and every medium its ever been made into. As someone who grew up with the novel version, I see that as definitive, but even the later works struggled to remain on the page. At times, the immersive theatre format works to the storys detriment, meaning youre likely to miss a beat or two if youre not able to sprint to every corner of each scene. For instance, there were so many audience members gathering around the Jatravartids area that I thought Id check out the emptier areas first. Which was a mistake, as Humma Kavula then engaged in a big song and dance number center stage that Id missed the buildup for. Similarly, I didnt even realize that the show featured Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Tom Bowen) until I read the cast list while writing this review. The abbreviated nature of the storyline means youre often missing not just the connective tissue but even a lot of the meat from the original. Some of the emotional weight of the set pieces feels unearned because the makers have elided a lot of the necessary everything. When you get to the big finish, its hard not to wish wed seen some of the effort one character has made beyond their hair growing out to mark the passage of time. The more I watched the show, and its many musical numbers, the more I wished its creators had simply made a more traditional stage musical. It would have made for a smoother, more cohesive show, especially given the source materials thematic and narrative complexity. Marvin the Paranoid Android (Andrew Evans) is feeling very depressed. Jason Ardizzone West / Hitchhikers Live The immersive format does have its strengths, including the ability to pepper the set with little visual jokes. The Vogon Complaints Office is packed full of gags hidden in boxes and filing cabinets, as are the little references on the screens in the Horse and Groom set. But best of all is any and all time you get to spend with Marvin the Paranoid Android (Andrew Evans), a masterful mix of design, acting and puppetry. Rather than cram Evans into a suit, the actor has the beautiful Marvin puppet on a chest harness, giving it a fluidity of motion and expressiveness that previous versions could only dream of. It helps, too, that Marvins perpetual misery beautifully undercuts the more saccharine parts of the story. I also need to heap praise upon the guide segments, both in their animation style and for Tamsin Griegs narration. Id say Grieg ( Black Books, Episodes ) is the true heir to original voice Peter Jones crown, bringing a perfect blend of voice-of-God exposition and dry undercutting. In fact, youll struggle to find a bad element in the whole production, especially in the well-choreographed set pieces where the cast acts against pre-recorded footage. Its a technical marvel in several ways and it is obvious that every person involved in its creation is operating with a bottomless pit of love for the source material and Adams. Its just that all of those elements dont quite cohere enough to push the show from good and entertaining through to being a must-see. Consequently, Id say if youre local to London and are even vaguely familiar with Adams work, you should go and enjoy yourself. But I might warn Adams devotees from further afield they may find the production underwhelming if theyre making a big trip to go and see it. Like every other Hitchhikers adaptation, its a mess, but then the messiness has always been at least half the point.

The Morning After: Our pick of the best Black Friday deals for 2025
Welcome back! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, were facing the annual torrent of Black Friday deals (and non-deals). I stand by $100 off the PS5 probably being the most intriguing discount this year, as its a rare one and consoles have continued to get more expensive in the last few years. There are other big discounts on more tech I personally bought (at full price, ugh), like Ankers Laptop Power Bank, down from $135 to $88 . I confess to giving a full show-and-tell performance when someone asks me about this giant battery pack, capable of charging laptops, Switch consoles and multiple phones. The best feature is the two built-in cables: one as a carrying strap, the other a retractable cable that is very satisfying to use. 25,000mAh is more than enough for multiple phone top-ups too. Alongside small discounts on some Apple devices like the latest AirPods Pro, the iPad (A16) is down to $274 . Its the cheapest current-gen Apple tablet and more than enough for most. Sure, we wish the display were laminated and had some anti-glare coating, but a 21 percent discount? That mostly makes up for that. Going on experience, most of the best deals have been announced by now, but a few surprises could pop up in the early hours of the morning. Keep an eye on our Black Friday 2025 deals page for the latest deals before they sell out. Mat Smith Get Engadget's newsletter delivered direct to your inbox. Subscribe right here!

Sony teases the A7 V, its next flagship midrange camera When you have as many cameras as Sony, you can call something a flagship midrange. Tech news is a little light, as most companies push their sales and stock-clearance offers. However, Sony appears to be ready to announce another addition to its Alpha camera lineup. The company shared an image on the Sony Alpha Instagram account with the text Chase your dream and the date December 2 at 9AM EST. The giant V is likely an unsubtle reference to a Sony A7 V, a follow-up to the Sony Alpha 7 IV. Rumors suggest the A7 V could feature a new 33MP partially stacked sensor designed by Sony. It might be able to capture 30 fps video in electronic shutter mode and 4K 60 fps video without cropping the sensor. That could make it more potent than Sonys cinema cameras, like the FX2.

Some bad news for anyone whos been using Plex to stream stuff from a buddys personal media server. The service is starting to enforce a paywall for remote streaming from an individual server to TV apps. Plex is rolling out the change on its Roku app this week, followed by its other TV apps (on the likes of Fire TV, Apple TV and Android TV) and third-party clients that use its remote streaming API in 2026. The owner of a media server will need a Plex Pass subscription to grant other people remote access to it through the service. A Plex Pass now costs $7 per month, $70 per year or $250 for a lifetime membership. Yeah, it's the opposite of a deal. Continue reading.

Delhi traders try to cremate mannequin to claim insurance money, arrested in UP
HAPUR: Two Delhi-based traders were arrested here after they allegedly tried to cremate a mannequin instead of a human body as part of an elaborate plot to fraudulently claim insurance money worth Rs 50 lakh to pay a debt, police said on Friday. The bizarre sequence unfolded when four men arrived in a Haryana-registered car with what they claimed was a corpse. They bought ghee and other items required for the last rites and quietly placed the ody on a pyre. However, their nervous behaviour caught the attention of Nitin, a municipal employee present at the cremation ghat. When he pulled the sheet covering the ody, he found that it was actually a mannequin on the pyre. He immediately alerted the municipal authorities, police said. After receiving information about the incident, a police team rushed to the spot and recovered the car of the accused along with three mannequins. Two of the accused -- Kamal Somani and his associate Ashish Khurana, both residents of Jain Colony in Delhi's Uttam Nagar -- were arrested. Two of their associates managed to escape, police said. During interrogation, Somani, a textile trader, confessed that he had a debt of Rs 50 lakh and had been depressed for months. To repay the amount, he devised an elaborate scheme. He obtained the Aadhaar and PAN cards of Anshul, the brother of his employee Neeraj, on the pretext of some paperwork, took out a Rs 50 lakh Tata AIA insurance policy in Anshul's name nearly a year ago, and had been paying the premiums regularly, said Circle Officer Stuti Singh. The plan was to send Anshul out of town, pass the mannequin off as his body, cremate it to obtain an official receipt from the cremation ground, secure a death certificate, and then claim the insurance payout, police said. Police used Somani's phone to video call Anshul, who was in Prayagraj. He told police he had no idea his death was being staged at Brijghat, they said. Circle Officer Singh said it was a case of insurance fraud. An investigation is underway and efforts are on to trace the absconding suspects, she said.

Long wait for fertilizer turns deadly for 58-year-old tribal woman in Madhya Pradeshs Guna district
BHOPAL: A 58-year-old tribal woman, Bhuriya Bai Saharia, sleeping outside a fertilizer distribution centre, after not getting urea fertilizer for two consecutive days, died on the intervening night of Wednesday-Thursday in Guna district of Madhya Pradesh. The tragic incident happened just a few hours after the local MP and union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, had arrived in his constituency. Bhuriya Bai belonged to the Saharia tribe, one of the three particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs) residing in MP. According to her relatives, she had first lined up at the fertilizer distribution centre in Bageri village on Tuesday, but had to return empty handed to her village, located around 20 km away. She reportedly lined up again at the centre on Wednesday, but couldnt get the fertilizer yet again. Instead of returning home, she stayed back like others and slept outside the centre on Wednesday night, hoping that she would be among the first ones on Thursday morning to get the fertilizer from the centre. However, she fell ill while sleeping outside the centre. Her relatives said that they called an ambulance, which never came. Later another farmer rushed her in his private vehicle to the health centre in Bamori. With her condition deteriorating, she was referred by doctors to Guna city, where she died at the hospital in the early hours. According to Guna district collector Kishor Kanyal, She was already ill and didnt know that her blood sugar level was as high as 450. She was admitted to hospital, where she died. Were repeatedly telling people not to panic as there is no need to stay back in the night outside the distribution centres. There is no shortage of urea, since were daily getting 30-35 trucks of urea. In the last 55 days, 30,000 MT urea has been distributed in our district and there is adequate availability of fertilizer presently, Kanyal said. We are likely to get one more rake of urea in the next few days, he added. Scindia also confirmed that there is no shortage of fertilisers. Ive asked the Guna district collector to increase the number of distribution counters in the double lock centres. We still have 15,000 MT fertilizer. There isnt need to panic, as a regular supply of fertilizer is being maintained, he said. Im monitoring from Delhi, the availability of fertilizer for all three districts, Guna, Shivpuri and Ashoknagar. There is also a need to gradually shift from chemical fertilizers to organic farming for sustainable agriculture. The opposition and ruling party MLAs, both questioned the government claims of sufficient fertilizer availability in Guna. If there is sufficient fertilizer available, then why are farmers lining up at the centres and even sleeping outside the centres in the night, Congress MLA from Bamori (Guna) Rishi Agrawal questioned. At a public event in Guna city on Thursday, the second-time BJP MLA Pannalal Shakya raised the issue from the stage of event where Scindia too was present. The woman died while yearning for fertilizer in the night hours. The district collector is sitting here, let him answer me, if your system is functioning properly why are the lines of farmers visible outside the distribution centres., Shakya questioned. We want a reply, if not here, well get it in the coming Vidhan Sabha session, he added.
The hidden skill of Metacognition: What is it and how it makes the brain work smarter
We all spend our days thinking, solving problems, making choices, learning new things, yet most of us rarely pause to examine how we think. Hidden beneath our everyday decisions is a quiet skill that shapes everything from how well we learn to how confidently we navigate challenges. This skill is called metacognition. In recent years, researchers have shown that strengthening this skill can meaningfully improve real-world outcomes. But what exactly is metacognition, and why does it matter so much in daily life? Below we explore. Metacognition literally means thinking about ones own thinking. Its the set of skills and processes that lets one monitor, evaluate, and control their own cognitive activity. For example; reading a paragraph and noticing we dont understand it. Then, deciding to re-read it, and checking later if we remember it. According to ResearchGate, the term Metacognition was popularized by John H. Flavell in the 1970s.

Pant Pens Apology After 0-2 Whitewash: 'Sorry We Couldnt Live Up To Expectations'
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: Indias wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant admitted that the team 'did not play good cricket' in the recently concluded two-game Test series against South Africa and apologised to the fans for not being able to live up to their expectations. India suffered a 0-2 whitewash at home as the Proteas dominated the proceedings throughout the two Tests in Kolkata and Guwahati. After the reigning World Test champions, South Africa, clinched their first Test win in India since 2010 in the Kolkata Test, the visitors sealed their historic series victory by handing India its heaviest defeat with a 408-run win in the second Test. This was the Proteas' second Test series win in India after their 2-0 sweep in February-March 2000 under Hansie Cronje. Since their defeat on Wednesday, the head coach and players have been under intense scrutiny. Amid ongoing criticism from fans and pundits, Pant posted a picture on Instagram and apologised to everyone who had placed their hopes in the teams victory and assured them that they will work hard to make a strong comeback as a team and as individuals. There is no shying away from the fact that we didnt play good enough cricket over the last two weeks. As a team and as individuals, we always want to perform at the highest level and bring smiles to billions of Indians. Sorry we couldnt live up to expectations this time, but sport teaches you to learn, adapt and grow - both as a team and as individuals. Representing India is the greatest honour of our lives. We know what this team is capable of, and we will work hard, regroup, refocus and reset to come back stronger and better as a team & individuals. Thank you for your unwavering support and love! Jai Hind, Pant wrote. There is no shying away from the fact that we didnt play good enough cricket over the last two weeks.

Pasquale Junior Natuzzi Brings Natuzzi Italia's Global Design Narrative to Mumbai
Natuzzi Italia brings its global design narrative to Mumbai this November, led by Pasquale Junior Natuzzi, the third-generation voice shaping the brands contemporary direction. His visit marks a moment of connection between the brands Mediterranean roots and Indias growing appetite for thoughtful, culturally informed design. He arrives in Mumbai to present Natuzzi Italias latest design explorations - a convergence of material research, crafted form and the evolving meaning of home. Pasquale Junior Natuzzi brings Natuzzi Italias global design narrative to Mumbai Under his direction, Natuzzi Italia has expanded beyond furniture into a wider vision of living, where space, emotion and cultural memory come together. His approach deepens the brands dialogue with architects, designers and design-led audiences, introducing new proposals from the 2025 Collection Rooted in Harmony. The pieces reflect the brands ongoing research into heritage, spatial behaviour and contemporary living, offering a perspective shaped by place and global exchange. As part of the ongoing dialogue with the design community, Pasquale Junior Natuzzi will join the Design Mumbai Exchange programme alongside international architects and designers, speaking on the role of design in shaping cultural and spatial futures, where Natuzzi Italia will also be presenting its showcase from November 26-29 in Mumbai. Showcase Highlights : AMAMA - Designed by Andrea Steidl Following the success of the multi-award-winning Mirai, Andrea Steidl returns to collaborate with Natuzzi Italia with Amama, a modular island system that reinterprets conviviality and spatial versatility. The design offers dual-facing configurations and multifunctional components such as shelves, table elements and storage, opening new possibilities for zoning and flexible living. The collection includes a dining table and a sideboard built around the same architectural and structural approach. FIORE - Designed by Marcantonio In the fourth collaboration with Marcantonio, Natuzzi Italia presents Fiore, an armchair inspired by the structural language of nature. The design studies the movement and geometry of petals, translating them into a sculptural form that holds space while remaining functional within contemporary interiors. RADICE - Rug by Giuseppe Gioia Completing the living environment is Radice, a rug designed by Giuseppe Gioia from the Natuzzi Design Center. The piece draws from the symbolic root of the 2025 collection, expressed through a distinctive shape and an intertwined circular motif designed to anchor and visually connect the surrounding furniture. Together, the three projects reflect a new chapter for Natuzzi Italia: the intersection of cultural memory, material experimentation, spatial design and collaboration with global design voices.

Couple from Mysuru held in fake Nandini ghee racket
BENGALURU: The Central Crime Branch (CCB) has arrested a couple from Mysuru in connection with the racket in selling adulterated ghee under Nandini brand . Earlier, the CCB arrested four people, including a distributor of KMF products. The couple reportedly ran a hi-tech illegal manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadus Tiruppur. CCB sleuths have frozen Rs 60 lakh in the bank accounts of the couple, suspecting that it could be proceeds from the crime. Investigations revealed that the accused, Shivakumar and his wife Ramya, were wanted in a case of manufacturing fake products in Mysuru. They led a large network involved in the production of adulterated ghee and selling it. In a joint operation, the CCB and KMFs vigilance wing arrested Mahendra, distributor of KMF products, his son Deepak, Muniraju, who supervised transportation of adulterated ghee from Tamil Nadu, and driver Abhi Arasu on November 14. Around 8,136 litres of adulterated ghee worth Rs 1.26 crore, four vehicles, and a large quantity of coconut and palm oil were seized. The accused produced three litres of adulterated ghee using one litre of original ghee. The accused packed adulterated ghee in sachets and plastic bottles having Nandini logo and supplied it to the Bengaluru-based distributor of KMF products. The accused also distributed adulterated ghee to wholesale and retail shops and Nandini outlets across the city. The joint team raided godowns and shops and seized goods vehicles of Krishna Enterprises at Nanjamba Agrahara, Chamarajpet, owned by one of the accused and his family members.

Top doctor shares 4 reasons to prioritize fiber for longevity
Dietary fiber is often overlooked, yet top clinicians now consider it one of the most powerful, low-effort tools for long-term health. Far beyond simply aiding digestion, fiber influences core systems that determine how well, and how long, we live. Modern studies consistently link higher fiber intake with reduced cardiovascular risk, improved metabolic markers, stronger gut microbiome function and lower inflammation. Recently, leading cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London highlighted these benefits in an Instagram video, outlining four reasons why prioritizing fiber may significantly support longevity. Dr. London states if you care about living longer and better, fiber is one of the simplest and most powerful tools that you have.

Sony teases the A7 V, its next flagship midrange camera
Sony appears to be ready to announce another addition to its Alpha camera lineup. The company shared an image on the Sony Alpha Instagram account with the text Chase your dream and the date December 2 at 9AM EST, which could be a teaser for its next mirrorless camera. It's possible the company has something else in mind, but the giant V or Roman numeral five in the background of the image seems like a clear reference to an unannounced Sony A7 V, a follow-up to the Sony Alpha 7 IV. Considering there was around a four year gap between the release of the A7 III and A7 IV , releasing the new camera in 2026 would make the timing lineup, too. View this post on Instagram Rumors suggest the A7 V could feature a new 33MP partially stacked sensor designed by Sony, along with the ability to capture 4K / 60 fps video. The company is also rumored to be announcing at least two new lenses to go with the new camera. Since the Alpha 7 IV started at $2,500, it seems safe to expect that these upgrades could cost even more when the camera is officially announced in December.

Noida police submit 500-page chargesheet in Nikki Bhatti murder case
LUCKNOW: The Noida police have submitted a 500-page chargesheet in court in the Nikki Bhatti murder case. Nikki was allegedly set on fire by her husband, Vipin Bhatti, with the assistance of her mother-in-law, Daya Bhatti, after thinner was poured on her. The chargesheet reportedly states that the prime accused, Vipin Bhatti, tried to escape by jumping from the roof to avoid the CCTV installed at their residence. According to police, Nikki was quite active on social media platforms and used to make reels against her husbands wishes. This reportedly led to discord between Nikki and Vipin, who then planned to eliminate her. The police claimed in the chargesheet that Vipin had the support of his father, Satveer Bhatti, mother Daya, and brother Rohit. All of them were present at home during the incident but hid in the house to avoid CCTV. Nikki was burnt to death on August 21, 2025, at 5:45 PM. After the murder, the accused took her to Fortis Hospital to create the impression that they were trying to save her. The post-mortem report found that Nikkis body had 80 percent burns, which led to her death. Currently, all the accused are in jail. The prime accused, Vipin Bhatti, was caught by police after being shot in the leg during an encounter. The Noida police have named Vipin Bhatti and his mother Daya as the main conspirators in the murder of Nikki Bhatti, according to a chargesheet prepared based on statements from Nikkis son, her husband, and her elder sister Kanchan, who is married to Vipins brother Rohit. Kanchan and Nikkis son confirmed that Vipin, with his mothers help, planned and carried out the murder. The chargesheet also includes the hospitals medical report, which initially suggested the burns were caused by a cylinder explosion. However, the investigation team rejected this claim after inspecting the crime scene, bed, kitchen, gas stove, courtyard, and the entire house, finding no evidence of a cylinder blast. Police investigations further revealed that Vipin was unhappy with Nikki running a boutique and Kanchan operating a beauty parlour at home. He reportedly objected to both sisters maintaining Instagram accounts. Both Kanchan and Nikki were married to Rohit and Vipin, respectively, from Sirsa village in December 2016. The investigation also brought out the issue of dowry demands by Vipin and his parents. Nikkis father, Raj Singh, claimed that he had given dowry beyond his means, including a Scorpio car at the time of her wedding, but the in-laws continued demanding an additional Rs 35 lakh. The in-laws reportedly physically tortured both Nikki and Kanchan.
A US based interventional cardiologist, Dr Sanjay Bhojraj, is urging people to rethink anti aging trends and abandon the belief that supplements are the fastest way to reverse biological age. In a recent Instagram post, he says real change comes from restoring natural repair systems through three key habits: resetting cortisol rhythm, boosting nitric oxide through movement and breathwork, and protecting deep sleep. He stresses that everyday lifestyle choices, not expensive products, drive longevity and cellular repair.
