He was 59, and his name was Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. Even as many stars in the south tried to emulate him, it took 43 years for another to achieve such success in such a short period. Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor Vijay has created history in Tamil Nadu. (PTI) As of May 2026, 51-year-old Tamil superstar Joseph Vijay has become the second actor-politician to do so with his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party sweeping the Tamil Nadu elections after its formation in February 2024.

Why Do These Storms Have Names? When Is Next Typhoon Forming? What Will It Be Named?

Why Do These Storms Have Names? When Is Next Typhoon Forming? What Will It Be Named?

Published by Webster

Naming cyclones helps people understand warnings quickly and stay prepared. Giving each cyclone a name makes it simple for everyone, from weather departments to the public, to track, discuss and follow updates about a specific storm without confusion. The name Ditwah was proposed by Yemen and comes from Detwah Lagoon, a well-known spot on Socotra Island. This lagoon is famous for its unique shoreline and rich natural habitat. Yemen suggested the name Ditwah to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), which added it to the UN ESCAP Panel’s list of pre-approved names for tropical cyclones. The India Meteorological Department (IMD), acting as RSMC New Delhi, gives a tropical cyclone its official name once the storm’s sustained winds reach 62 km/h. The way tropical cyclones are named can differ by region. Some regions follow a simple alphabetical order, while others assign names based on the alphabetical order of the countries that submit them. Tropical cyclone names are decided by the appropriate regional body during its yearly meeting. There are five such regional organisations, the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee, …

A humanoid robot-shaped bubble is forming, China warns

A humanoid robot-shaped bubble is forming, China warns

Published by Webster

A humanoid robot bubble could be brewing, warned China’s leading economic planning agency on Thursday. The alert comes amid growing fears that a bubble in a related industry — AI — is about to burst. Speaking at a press briefing, National Development and Reform Commission spokesperson Li Chao said China’s humanoid robotics industry needs to balance “the speed of growth against the risk of bubbles.” Investment has been pouring into the sector despite there being few proven use cases for the bots, Li said, risking a flood of “highly similar” models as funding for research and development shrinks. More than 150 humanoid robotics companies are operating in China, Li said. More than half are startups or entrants from other industries. The warning marks a rare note of caution from Beijing for an industry it has declared vital for future economic growth. Earlier this year, China designated embodied intelligence — the technology behind humanoid robotics — a national priority.
