<h2><strong>Who is Giulia Tofana?</strong></h2>

<p>Giulia Tofana lived in 17th-century Italy and sold poison to wives who wanted to kill their abusive husbands. This resulted in the death of more than 600 men.</p>

<p>The signature brew of Tofana was a mixture of deadly ingredients like arsenic and belladonna called “Aqua Tofana”.</p>

<p>The concoction had proved to be very effective in those times and Tofana was considered a very prolific serial killer.</p>

<p>It was believed that the poison was flavourless and was not detectable after death. It was generally stored in ordinary cosmetics bottles.</p>

<p>Vistara flew its last flight from Goa to Bengaluru on Sunday (Nov 10) and as it landed the song '<em>Kal Ho Na Ho</em>' played in the background to invoke nostalgia among the airline's crew and passengers who were part of its last flight as the time of the carrier in the Indian aviation landscape came to an end.</p>

<p>Vistara was a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines and will now merge with Air India on November 12.</p>

<p>Taking to Instagram, the airline bid goodbye and wrote, "As the plane ascends, so do our dreams; let's glide toward the future, where the sky isn't the limit, but just the beginning."</p>

Vistara ends its nine-year journey, says 'sky is just the beginning'

<p>The Supreme Court of India on Monday (Nov 11) sharply criticised the Delhi Police and asked for "immediate action" on banning the sale and bursting of firecrackers in the city, which has been happening every year defying the existing ban, even after the festival of Diwali, and said that "no religion encourages pollution".</p>

<p>"No religion encourages any activity which creates pollution. If firecrackers are burst in this fashion... it also affects the fundamental right to health of the citizens," stated a bench comprising Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih, while hearing the case on the yearly air quality crisis of Delhi.</p>

<p>“The right to live in a pollution-free atmosphere is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. Prima facie, we are of the view that no religion promotes any activity that promotes pollution or compromises with the health of the people,” added the bench.</p>

<p>The apex court also directed the Delhi Police to create a special cell which would enforce the ban on crackers and give responsibility to SHOs for implementing the Delhi government order dated October 14 in this regard.</p>

<p>The Commissioner of Delhi Police was ordered by the court to file an affidavit by November 25 regarding whether notices of ban were issued to all cracker manufacturers.</p>

India's SC asks Delhi govt to decide on firecracker ban, says 'no religion encourages pollution'

<p>According to a report published by The Bigfoot Field Research Organisation recently, a Bigfoot was spotted in a Sasquatch hotspot in Connecticut last year.</p>

<p>A resident of Fairfield County reported hearing the “screaming/long-duration whooping” of the hairy giant after midnight on October 17, 2023.</p>

<p>“This voice had quite a bit of ‘power’ behind it and I could tell that it was carried over distance. I would ‘rough’ guesstimate at least two clicks [1.25 miles] from my coords,” said the&nbsp;anonymous witness in the report.</p>

<p>As per the witness, the howling sound came from a forested area close to the town of Monroe and continued for 10 terrifying minutes.</p>

<p>In the report, the alleged Bigfoot was said to be yelping for around 10 seconds roughly and then halting before repeating the pattern again.</p>

<p>“All the dogs in the area started barking at once when the vocalisations ended. Normally there are many owls in the area and when I had gone outside previously I could hear them,” said the witness, and added that some of the noises were not coming from a coyote, bobcat, cougar or fox.</p>

<p>“When I had noticed the vocalizations had ended it was probably a good ten minutes before I could hear the owls again,” he added.</p>

<h2><strong>Is the report of the Bigfoot sighting credible?</strong></h2>

<p>As per founder and BFRO investigator Matthew Moneymaker, the report was not made public earlier because it was just a sound-only report, however, the claims were found credible and were placed in a Class B categorisation.</p>

<p>“My first thought was this is either a person or a bigfoot. I did a quick checklist in my head and ruled out person,”&nbsp;said the witness.</p>

<p>“It was solid black from head to toe with no colour differences. It was also too large to be a person. I had a size comparison with the deer ran just past it. The black figure was about 2 and a half times the height of the deer torso. It must have been between 8 and 10 feet tall,"&nbsp;the witness added.</p>

Putin plans to introduce 'ministry of sex' in Russia amid drooping birth rate

<p>The famous white beluga whale, which was suspected to be a spy of Russia, was probably guarding 'Kremlin property' when it was found dead off the coast of Norway, according to a new documentary.</p>

<p>The whale,&nbsp;nicknamed Hvaldimir, which is a combination of the word for whale, hval and the first name of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was discovered floating at the Risavika Bay in southern Norway in September.</p>

<p>The fishermen were the first to spot the 14ft whale near the northern island of Ingoya in April 2019. The spy whale was wearing a harness which had a small camera mounted over it and a buckle which had the text marked on it "Equipment St Petersburg."</p>

<p>This discovery had fuelled assumptions that the beluga was probably a&nbsp;"spy whale".</p>

<p>After carrying out investigations for 10 months, the makers of the BBC documentary Secrets of the Spy Whale found that some evidence hinted that the whale was being trained as a covert "guard whale".</p>

<p>"Our latest findings about the potential role that Hvaldimir had been trained to do brings us closer to solving the mystery, but they also prompt many further questions about what Russia might be seeking to guard in the Arctic, and why," said Jennifer Shaw, director of the film, while speaking to The Observer.</p>
