Dear Abby: I’m tired of pop-in visits from my in-laws

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are celebrating our second anniversary. For the most part, we’re very happy. He’s the best friend I’ve ever had. The problem is his family. They’re wonderful people who have welcomed me with open arms. But they are also extremely clingy and lack common boundaries. We recently moved to a larger home that’s closer to them but farther from my family. Now that we live closer, they constantly pop in unannounced for visits at inconvenient times, such as while I’m getting dinner plated up. His mother has been told numerous times that we are private people and don’t like a lot of company, but she still keeps doing the same thing. She’s also trying to throw parties at our house and talking about putting in a pool, even though we have told her no repeatedly. And, Abby, when one family member shows up, you can almost guarantee that two or three more will show up soon after. When we moved in, my family came to see the house. They had been here no more than five minutes when his entire family — aunts, cousins, everyone — showed up and took over! Consequently, my family didn’t really get to visit or even see the house because things got too chaotic. Please help. — LOSING IT IN ALABAMA DEAR LOSING IT: When you married into your husband’s family, they welcomed you as one of their own. If I read your letter correctly, they view you as a family member, and your family as blended into their own. Because you need more privacy and boundaries than you have been able to establish, you may need your husband to help you get the message across in a way they can accept without becoming offended. DEAR ABBY: I have been with my girlfriend for 25 years. We have never married for various reasons. She is in her 60s, and I am 13 years younger. Our sex life isn’t so good anymore. As a matter of fact, it is gone. What can I do as a younger man to make her feel special again? How can I light her fire? We still sleep in the same room, but that’s about it. I am not ugly, overweight or unappealing. Is there any hope for at least a slight increase in sex? All of my parts are working, so that’s not the problem. I don’t want to cheat, and there are too many diseases I could catch out there. Please advise. — READY AND WILLING IN ARIZONA DEAR READY: It’s time for you and your lady friend to have a calm, honest conversation about your lack of a sex life. When you do, ask her if sex causes her pain, because that may be the reason for her lack of interest. If that’s the case, her gynecologist can suggest remedies for fixing the problem. If her reason is that she’s simply no longer interested, she should discuss it with her doctor and ask for a referral to an endocrinologist who may be able to help her rebalance her hormones.

Do you know how many bridges were built over the Kosi River in those 15 years of Jungle Raj? Zero. Not even one was constructed. In those 15 years of Jungle Raj, how many tourist circuits were developed in Bihar? Zero nil bate sannata.

World News | Balochistan Faces Fresh Attacks Amid Continued Neglect

Quetta [Pakistan], November 6 (ANI): In yet another alarming reminder of Balochistan's worsening security climate, unidentified armed men carried out two separate attacks on Tuesday evening, one in Kachhi district and the other in Quetta, raising fresh questions about the state's preparedness and ongoing neglect of the region's security needs, as reported by Dawn. In two separate incidents, unidentified armed groups attacked a police station in Kachhi district and targeted a security checkpoint on Quetta's Western Bypass with hand grenades. Also Read | UN Mission in Afghanistan Suspends Border Services Citing Denial of Work Permits to Women Staff. According to officials, around 20 heavily armed assailants stormed the Khattan Police Station in Kachhi district. The outpost, recently set up inside a repurposed Livestock Department building following the merger of levies personnel into the police force, proved highly vulnerable. According to the Dawn, the attackers forced their way into the modest two-room facility, set official records and furniture ablaze, and looted weapons. They fled with an SMG and a G-3 assault rifle, along with a mobile phone and a privately owned motorcycle.

A senior official told Dawn that former levies personnel stationed nearby were unable to mount an effective response given the overwhelming number of attackers. Fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported. Police and security forces arrived shortly after the incident and began a joint search operation in an effort to track down the perpetrators. The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), Sibi Range, has launched a deeper investigation into the attack. In the second incident the same evening, unidentified motorcyclists targeted a security forces checkpoint near Quetta's Western Bypass by lobbing two hand grenades. Although the explosives detonated near the post, no loss of life or damage was reported. Security personnel returned fire, but the assailants escaped under the cover of darkness. A search operation was later conducted to sweep the surrounding area, as highlighted by Dawn. The twin attacks add to a growing pattern of assaults across Balochistan, intensifying concerns over inadequate policing resources, weak security presence in remote districts, and the government's continued failure to address the province's long-standing grievances and instability.

UP cops book 20 women over puja attempt at Fatehpur site

Fatehpur: A group of women carrying diyas and other material tried to perform puja at a disputed mausoleum site on Kartik Purnima, clambering over barricades and clashing with police when they were stopped, officials said Thursday. Police registered an FIR against 20 women after the clashes Wednesday evening, tension flaring up once again over the centuries-old Nawab Abu Samad mausoleum. August 11, members of Hindu rightwing outfits had allegedly created a ruckus while demanding permission to offer prayers there, claiming that the structure was a temple of ‘Thakurji’ with a ‘Shivling’. They alleged that the mausoleum was constructed after demolishing an ancient temple. Videos from that time purportedly showed vandalism and hoisting of a saffron flag at the site, triggering communal tension in the area. Following the agitation, the district administration sealed the premises, put up barricades and imposed restrictions. Wednesday, a few women allegedly tried to remove or climb over the barricades, prompting police to restrain them, officials said. An argument ensued between the women and Station House Officer (SHO) Tarkeshwar Rai, during which the women accused the police of misconduct and preventing them from offering their prayers. Unable to reach the disputed spot, the women eventually performed their prayers and aarti from a nearby lane, facing the structure. A case has been registered at the Kotwali police station under Sections 121(1) (obstructing or assaulting a public servant in discharge of duty), 351(2) (criminal intimidation), and 352 (use of criminal force otherwise than on grave provocation) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), the ASP said. The FIR, lodged on the complaint of Constable Manju Singh, named 20 unidentified women, including the wife of a local identified as Pappu Singh Chauhan. In her complaint, Constable Singh said she and other personnel were deployed near the disputed mausoleum when, around 6 pm, a group of women led by Chauhan’s wife allegedly tried to push through the barricades, used abusive language and threatened police with false accusations. Videos purportedly showing the women arguing with police and performing puja from a distance have surfaced on social media, though their authenticity has not been independently verified. So far, no arrests have been made in the matter, and extra vigilance is being maintained in the area, where a heavy police force has been deployed. Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mahendra Pal Singh informed PTI that local intelligence units have been instructed to monitor the situation. He confirmed that the situation is currently peaceful, with no law and order issues reported. Earlier, BJP district president Mukhlal Pal had warned that he and members of Hindu organisations would perform prayers at the site, citing carvings of a trident and lotus inside the structure as evidence of its Hindu origins. Officials said the matter is sub judice and strict orders have been issued to prevent any activity that could disturb public order.

India News | MP CM Mohan Yadav Appeals Bihar Residents to Exercise Their Franchise in Assembly Polls

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 6 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Thursday appealed to the residents of Bihar to exercise their franchise in the ongoing state assembly polls.

Also Read | Karnataka Shocker: Depressed Over Wife's Desertion, Man Dies by Suicide After Killing 5-Year-Old Daughter. "On the occasion of polling for the Bihar assembly elections, I appeal to all the people of Bihar to use their voting rights and participate in this festival of democracy. It is certain that the NDA will form the government again and Nitish Kumar will be the CM. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading the NDA in Delhi, the people want development, and the NDA will form the government again in Bihar," CM Yadav said. Targeting the Opposition, the Chief Minister said that it was unfortunate that the Leader of Opposition (LoP), Rahul Gandhi, is trying to mislead the public by bringing up the Haryana elections during the Bihar polls.

Earlier, he tried to spread misinformation about EVMs. The Supreme Court also rejected that claim. I hope that he will behave with dignity," the CM added. The Chief Minister is also visiting Bihar on Thursday as part of the election campaign for NDA candidates in the Bihar assembly elections. According to an official release, CM Yadav will tour the Darbhanga, Madhubani, and Gaya districts of Bihar and will address multiple public gatherings in support of NDA candidates. Bihar assembly elections are being held in two phases, and voting for the first phase on 121 constituencies is being conducted today, while the remaining 122 constituencies will vote in the second phase on November 11. Voting for the first phase of the 2025 assembly elections in Bihar began on Thursday at 7.00 am across 121 constituencies in 18 districts of the state's 243 seats, with approximately 3.75 crore electors casting their ballot. Polling will conclude at 6 pm, and due to security considerations, polling time has been curtailed to 5 pm in some constituencies. The first phase will decide the fate of several senior leaders, including RJD's Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Mangal Pandey and JD(U)'s Shravan Kumar and Vijay Kumar Choudhary. According to the Election Commission, there are 10.72 lakh 'new electors', and 7.78 lakh voters are in the age group of 18-19 years. The total population of these constituencies, as stated by the Election Commission, is 6.60 crore.

At least 12 dead after UPS plane crashes, engine falls off in Kentucky

Louisville (US): A UPS cargo plane’s left wing caught fire and an engine fell off just before it crashed and exploded after takeoff in Kentucky, a federal official has said, offering the first investigative details about a disaster that killed at least 12 people, including a child. Finding survivors seemed unlikely as first responders searched the charred area of the crash at UPS Worldport, the company’s global aviation hub in Louisville, Gov Andy Beshear said Wednesday. The inferno consumed the enormous aircraft and spread to nearby businesses. After being cleared for takeoff, a large fire developed in the left wing, said Todd Inman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation. The NTSB will now try to determine what caused the fire and why the engine fell off. It will likely take investigators more than a year to answer those questions. The plane gained enough altitude to clear the fence at the end of the runway before crashing just outside Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, Inman told reporters. Airport security video “shows the left engine detaching from the wing during the takeoff roll,” he said. The cockpit voice recorder and data recorder were recovered, and the engine was discovered on the airfield, Inman said. “There are a lot of different parts of this airplane in a lot of different places,” he said, describing a debris field that stretched for half a mile. The plane with three people aboard crashed about 5:15 pm Tuesday as it was departing for Honolulu from UPS Worldport at the Louisville airport. The crash had a devastating ripple effect, striking and causing smaller explosions at Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and hitting an auto salvage yard, Grade A Auto Parts. Beshear said the child who died was with a parent at the parts business. Beshear earlier said it was a “blessing” that the plane did not hit a nearby Ford Motor factory or the convention centre. Some people who heard the boom, saw the smoke and smelled burning fuel were still stunned a day later. “I didn’t know if we were getting attacked. I didn’t know what was going on,” said Summer Dickerson, who works nearby. Stooges Bar and Grill bartender Kyla Kenady said lights suddenly flickered as she took a beer to a customer on the patio. “I saw a plane in the sky coming down over top of our volleyball courts in flames,” she said. “In that moment, I panicked. I turned around, ran through the bar screaming, telling everyone that a plane was crashing.” Manager Lynn Cason said explosions, only about 90 metres away, shook the building three times — “like somebody was bombing us” — but no one there was injured. “God was definitely with us,” Cason said. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced on the social platform X on Wednesday evening that the death toll had risen to 12, saying, “Please take a moment to hug your loved ones and check on your neighbours.” The governor predicted that the death toll would rise, saying authorities were looking for a “handful of other people” but “we do not expect to find anyone else alive.” Mark Little, chief of the Okolona Fire District in Louisville, said debris would have to be moved and searched, adding: “It will take us quite a while.” University of Louisville Hospital said two people were in critical condition in the burn unit. Eighteen people were treated and discharged at that hospital or other health care centres. The airport is 11 km from downtown Louisville, close to the Indiana state line, residential areas, a water park and museums. The airport resumed operations on Wednesday, with at least one runway open. Beshear said he did not know the status of the three UPS crew members aboard the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 made in 1991. It was not clear if they were being counted among the dead. UPS said it was “terribly saddened.” The Louisville package handling facility is the company’s largest. The hub employs more than 20,000 people in the region, handles 300 flights daily and sorts more than 400,000 packages an hour. Jeff Guzzetti, a former federal crash investigator, said a number of things could have caused the fire as the UPS plane was rolling down the runway. “It could have been the engine partially coming off and ripping out fuel lines. Or it could have been a fuel leak igniting and then burning the engine off. It’s just too soon to tell,” Guzzetti said. He said the crash bears a lot of similarities to one in 1979 when the left engine fell off an American Airlines jet as it was departing Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, killing 273 people. Guzzetti said this UPS plane and the American plane were equipped with the same General Electric engines and both planes underwent heavy maintenance in the month before they crashed. The NTSB blamed the Chicago crash on improper maintenance. The 1979 crash involved a DC-10, but the MD-11 UPS plane is based on the DC-10. Flight records show the UPS plane was on the ground in San Antonio from Sept 3 to Oct 18, but it was unclear what maintenance was performed and if it had any impact on the crash.

Business News | VIRGIO Marks Two Years with Unprecedented Eco-nic Fair - 25: The Zero Margin, Zero Mark-up 'Anti-Sale'

BusinessWire India Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 6: VIRGIO, the sustainable fashion-tech brand, today announces its second anniversary, choosing to mark the milestone not with a traditional discount but with an audacious act of transparency: the 'Eco-nic Fair '25' Anti-Sale. Also Read | India vs Australia Live Score Updates of 4th T20I 2025: Get Toss Winner Result, Live Commentary and Full Scorecard Online of IND vs AUS Cricket Match. From November 7th to November 9th, VIRGIO will eliminate all mark-ups and margins, selling every garment at its exact cost to make, with prices reflecting savings of up to 70% off across all categories. This three-day event is positioned as a direct "thank you" to its community for supporting its mission, demonstrating an unparalleled commitment to fair pricing and conscious commerce. In a quiet rebellion against fast fashion's culture of loud, misleading markdowns, VIRGIO is making honesty the new temptation. Building on its existing commitment to show a cost breakdown for every product, the Eco-nic Fair '25 initiative will have the brand shoulder the cost of commerce, allowing customers to pay only the manufacturing price. As Amar Nagaram, Co-Founder of VIRGIO, states, "We began with ambition and experimentation; today, we lead with conviction and care. As we enter Year Three, our goal is to deepen impact in sustainability, in inclusivity, and in the lives we touch. The industry calls it a sale when they drop prices. We call it a thank you when we drop our margin. This is not just growth; it is purpose scaling." Also Read | Automatic Toll Collection System: NHAI to Roll Out Automatic Tolling With High Speed Cameras on Chennai-Bengaluru National Highway and GST Roads. Over the past two years, VIRGIO has proven that sustainable fashion can be both scalable and trend-forward. This growth has been marked by key initiatives: the successful debut of the curvy sub-brand called Beyond the Curve (BTC), co-created with actor Anjali Anand; significant expansion into the global markets alongside new physical stores across 5 cities in India. Expanding beyond fashion, VIRGIO also launched Amodira, a distinct fragrance line inspired by India's rich culture and Indian royalty. Most notably, VIRGIO served as the Sustainable Fashion Partner for IIFA 2025, where it centered the IIFA Green Carpet event on eco-friendly craftsmanship and elevated the conversation that glamour and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. The anniversary is a reaffirmation of the brand's commitment to a future where style and substance walk hand in hand. As it steps into its third year, VIRGIO remains grounded in the principles that define it: fashion with integrity, inclusivity by design, and transparency at every step. The anniversary is not just a celebration of what has been, but a reaffirmation of what comes next, a future where style and substance walk hand in hand.

A shocking incident from Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, has taken the internet by storm after popular YouTuber Vanshika was caught on camera assaulting her mother, Bunty Kumari, during a live Instagram stream. The altercation occurred on November 4 at their Modinagar Road residence when Vanshika, accompanied by her live-in partner Himanshu and two others, allegedly demanded ₹20 lakh from her mother. When Bunty refused, Vanshika reportedly slapped, dragged, and even tried to strangle her before throwing her to the ground—all while broadcasting the assault live. The disturbing video has since gone viral, drawing massive public outrage. Bunty, who sustained serious injuries, later filed a police complaint. Vanshika, known for her lifestyle and fashion content with 1.9 lakh YouTube subscribers and 7.4 lakh Instagram followers, is now facing severe backlash as her influencer image crumbles overnight.

PIB busts Pakistani propaganda on old Mi-17 Budgam video

New Delhi: The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has once again busted Pakistani propaganda circulating on social media, which falsely claimed that an Indian Mi-17 helicopter was recently shot down in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir. In a fact check issued Thursday, PIB clarified that the viral video being shared by several Pakistani social media accounts is six years old, unrelated, and is being misused to push misleading narratives. “Some #Pakistani propaganda accounts are recirculating an old video on social media, falsely claiming that a missile shot down an Indian Mi-17 helicopter,” PIB said, while sharing the clip to put the record straight. The fact check confirmed that the footage pertains to the 2019 crash of an Indian Air Force (IAF) Mi-17 V5 helicopter near Budgam in Jammu & Kashmir, and not a recent incident. “It is from an earlier incident that took place in 2019, involving an Indian Air Force (IAF) Mi-17 V5 helicopter that crashed near Budgam, J&K,” PIB stated. Calling out the deliberate misinformation, PIB cautioned that such fake content is circulated to “create panic, spread misinformation, and malign India’s image.” The PIB Fact Check stated that the original incident occurred February 27, 2019, when the helicopter took off from Srinagar airfield at 10 a.m. for a routine mission. “It crashed around 10.10 a.m. near Budgam, resulting in the death of all six IAF personnel on board. A Court of Inquiry had been ordered at the time to investigate the cause of the accident,” it said. India has repeatedly flagged Pakistan-based social media networks for running disinformation campaigns, particularly after sensitive military or political developments. The Fact Check unit of the PIB has debunked Pakistani propaganda against India and the Indian Armed Forces, and fact-checked many such posts countering such content in the past also.

Knicks’ Josh Hart has best game of season after early-season woes

Knicks’ Josh Hart has best game of season after early-season woes

It was not long ago that Josh Hart looked lost, particularly with his shooting. He was visibly emotional during the Knicks loss to the Bulls on Oct. 31, and subsequently revealed that nerve damage in his shooting hand was bothering him. He declared that he personally had the biggest adjustment under head coach Mike Brown, and it showed. He had a hard time containing his frustration. But he seems to have put it all behind him. He delivered by far his best performance of the season in the 137-114 win over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night at the Garden, recording a season-high 18 points, five rebounds and four assists. The most promising development was his shooting — he went 7-for-12 from the field and a stellar 4-for-5 from 3-point range. They weren’t all catch-and-shoot, either — two of them were pullups off the dribble. Hart combined with Deuce McBride to carry a bench unit that has become a weapon for the Knicks. McBride added 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field. “I gotta give a lot of credit to Deuce,” Brown said. “Deuce was aggressive the right way. He played under control. If they tried to pick up full-court, he drove it by them. He touched the paint. He played off two [feet] and he sprayed it. And guys got great looks when he got us into our offensive. Josh was also a big catalyst in terms of trying to get us to push the pace and play the right way.” CHECK OUT THE LATEST NBA STANDINGS AND KNICKS STATS More production from the bench was a major selling point for Brown. Recently, the results have been stellar. The Knicks bench outscored the Timberwolves reserves 53-26. That kind of advantage was almost unheard of under Tom Thibodeau. In fact, the most the Knicks bench ever scored in a game last year was 52 points. Thibodeau’s bench only scored 40 or more points four times last year. Already, Brown’s bench has reached 40 points twice in the past three. Beyond Hart and McBride, Jordan Clarkson recorded seven points, Guerschon Yabusele tallied five, Ariel Hukporti had four, Landry Shamet scored three and Mohamed Diawara had two. Tyler Kolek seems to have lost his spot in the rotation. He got a run to start the year to prove he can handle backup point guard duties. But his minutes have vanished the past two games, only seeing action during garbage time. Instead, Brown seems to trust Hart and McBride in handling the majority of ballhandling duties for the second unit.
