Reporting Rabbis Badly

Is it wrong to quote Torah scholars on matters that may reflect them in a bad light?

To clarify - I am not talking about things said in private, in a weak moment. I am referring to statements of ideology said as thought-out policy, which they believe in, but which others consider wrong. For example, if they told their followers that Person X is a rasha, or that the State of Israel is an evil entity.

There are many people who believe that relaying such statements is very, very wrong indeed. However, they don't usually muster detailed arguments beyond "Lashon hara! You are being Mevazeh Gedolim!"

I raised this issue a few months ago, in a post entitled On Being Mevazeh Gedolim. Reader Moshe Abrams pointed out that Rav Yehudah Henkin discusses precisely this question in Responsa Bnei Banim 3:18. The question was raised regarding publicizing a letter written by one rav in condemnation of other rabbonim, which would have the result of raising the ire of many people against this rav.

Rav Henkin replies that it is entirely permissible, and gives three separate reasons for this. The first is that the Talmud demonstrates that it is permissible to relate lashon hara about someone who is a baal machlokes - instigating conflict. Rav Henkin explains the technicalities of this at length, noting that it does not refer to anyone who is involved in a dispute, but rather to someone who is specifically trying to create divisions by delegitimizing others. Rav Henkin does not explain the conceptual rationale to the Gemara's license, but perhaps it is as follows: The problem with lashon hara is that it tears apart society. But if someone is already engaging in efforts to tear apart society, then exposing those efforts is a way to solve that problem.

The second reason given by Rav Henkin is that lashon hara is permissible when it is for public benefit. (He notes that this particular reason must be employed carefully.) While Rav Henkin does not elaborate on how that applies here, I think it is self-evident. If a rabbinic leader seeks to delegitimize another group, it is important for those who are evaluating him as a leader to know about it.

Rav Henkin's third reason is that the rav under discussion himself publicized his words. Since he was quite happy to do so, due to his conviction that his words were appropriate, there is no reason for others to protest that it is against his honor to do so. (Of course, it is crucial that there are no distortions of his words.)

Rav Henkin concludes with a powerful observation. He notes that the people protesting those who publicize the rav's words profess to be very concerned about the honor due to a Torah scholar. But, he asks, why are they not concerned about the honor due to the Torah scholars that this person condemned?

I found Rav Henkin's responsum to be very powerful and relevant. There is a pervasive phenomenon of Anglo charedim, especially those who come from non-charedi backgrounds, being deeply uncomfortable with various statements and positions of many charedi rabbinic leaders. Some of them re-assess whether they really belong in charedi society. But others address their discomfort by trying to suppress any mention of these statements and positions.

Personally, I think that Rav Henkin is obviously correct that it is permissible and even important to publicize such statements and positions. People need to make informed decisions, about which community to associate with, which schools and yeshivos to send their kids to, and which rabbanim to seek guidance from. If the leaders of a society feel strongly about certain things, then this should be known!

There are some important qualifications to be made here. If a rabbi says something that you find deeply objectionable, it certainly doesn't mean that he is entirely disqualified from having anything good to offer. And it may not be relevant or praiseworthy to relay his objectionable positions if, for example, someone is merely having a discussion about a shiur given by this person on an unrelated topic. But when people are making life decisions based on rabbinic leadership, they should be informed about the views and positions of this leadership.

Again, I am not talking about trashing people by relating their shortcomings, which is a more complicated matter - sometimes important, often wrong. I am talking about publicizing positions of rabbinic leaders that the rabbinic leaders themselves hold to be true and to be important to share with at least some of their followers. Anyone who opposes this needs to take a good hard look at themselves, and to ask themselves what they really think about this person, and what exactly is making them uncomfortable. The truth can be painful, but don't shoot the messenger.

On Being Mevazeh the Gedolim
When Lashon Hara is a Mitzvah
The Angst of Anglo-Charedi Converts

  1. You are wrong for two reasons.
    1.In this era, a psak for an individual situation quickly becomes a regrettable public policy worldwide. What might make sense in Beit Shemesh might not make sense in Wichita. It makes sense not to publicize messages that you know will be taken out of context.
    2. The idealized image of Chareidi Gedolim serve an important positive function in the anglo wannabe-chareidi community ( of which I am a part). Eggheads might scoff at the idea of heroes and celebrities but its a real thing and shouldn't be easily dismissed. Do you really think klal yisrael will be better off pointing out their flaws? Like the mishna in Sota says, some passages we omit the reading aloud of targum.

    1. Against reason #1: I understand Rav Dr. Slifkin to be addressing public policy statements, not individualized psak.
      Against reason #2: The idealized image of Chareidi Gedolim leads to avodah zarah. Many Chareidim (at least Hassidim with respect to their Rebbes) for all practical purposes worship two gods: the Real One and a Godol. Idealizing anything or anyone turns the idealized entity into a false god.

    2. 2. IMHO this idolisation of gedolim causes tremendous amounts of damage. People become unable to think for themselves, and blindly follow ideologies which lead to the destruction of their society. People need to be aware that all people have shortcomings, and that responsibility for the actions one takes ultimately rest with oneself. We must respect the gedolim for what they are, but also be aware of what they are not.

    3. To clarify,
      #1 I am also talking about public policy matters. For example, a hardline taken against the Israeli government might be appropriate for the community in Israel. It keeps the old fashioned religion and prevents the religious community from blending with general Israeli secular culture. Such opposition is misplaced in chutz laaretz. Over affiliation with secular Israeli culture is hardly a problem for a Flatbush Yid.
      #2 You know you are exaggerating. You may argue about who is a Torah scholar but the identification and veneration of Torah Scholars with Godliness is well established in the Talmud and tradition. It's sad that in many Modern Orthodox communities Rabbis are not treated with proper respect.

    4. Hershel, #2:

      The Torah itself goes to great lengths to point out character flaws (not merely errant statements) of the Avot, Moshe Rabbenu, etc.

      Are the Haredi Gedolim too good for that kind of treatment?

    5. Well, which is it?

      On the one hand, you say it's sad that Modern Orthodox Rabbis are not treated with the proper respect. In the other hand, we should not protest (or even report) when Haredi rabbis call them reshoim?

    6. Yes, there is a certain value to maintaining a positive image to certain leaders. But this tendency can and is easily abused.

      Also keep in mind that your statement "you are wrong" is an opinion, which you are certainly entitled to.

    7. Hershel: There are two problems with your first point:

      1. It is not (only) critics who spread the word of these pronouncements around the world. Rather, it is the *proponents* of these rulings. R' Elyashiv says something, and almost instantly it's up on pashkevilim in New York.

      Well, turnabout is fair play. If charedi gedolim in Israel and their followers want to influence practice in other places, then people in those other places have a right to criticize.

      2. Your rather weak "defense" of some of these proclamations points to a deeper problem on your behalf: You think that any such pronouncement is somehow defensible, even if only in one area. Newsflash: Some declarations of charedi gedolim are wrong, period, no matter where they are "meant" to apply.

    8. Put it this way,
      Anglo Chareidim feel about Gedolim and the style of Judaism they represent the same way diaspora Jews feel about Israel. We might know that it isn't perfect but it's ours and we'll be darned if we let the nitpicking of haters cast us in an unfair negative light.
      Now think of yourselves as left wing Israeli professors visiting a college campus in Michigan where they publicly and viciously criticize the government and their supporters for some Israeli reason.
      If you want to slag on Israeli gedolim do it locally. If you start doing it here in chutz laaretz you are taking sides in a fight you don't fully understand.

    9. Why are these Gedolim subject to ridicule, just because their followers decided to publicize things in the streets of Flatbush?
      Many of the 'public pesakim' are private statements, uttered at home to followers, perhaps at a weak moment, and publicized on the internet. Those are not typical of the person's opinions and those publicizing them as such are the ones being untruthful.

  2. 1. That doesn't make it necessarily wrong - only if the psak is highly personalized.

    2. Grown-ups should realize that nobody is perfect. Are you saying that you want to be misled about people, because you can't relate to them appropriately otherwise? Though in any case, the discussion is not about flaws, but instead about beliefs and attitudes. Why should these be concealed?

  3. Like this ?http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/394935/rabbonim-in-eretz-yisroel-speak-out-against-higher-education-for-chareidi-women.html

  4. "Personally, I think that Rav Henkin is obviously correct that it is permissible and even important to publicize such statements and positions." - would he have said: "publicize it in the shuls" or "publicize it on the World Wide Web"?

  5. It's funny that on loshon hara issue you are quoting Rav Henkin. Why not to go to the universally recognized prime source on this issue and find confirmation of your view from HaRav Israel Meir Kagan?

    1. The Chafetz Chaim was a true Gadol, who wrote the first systematic works on Lashon Harah. That doesn't mean that no one can disagree with him (if there is a disagreement). I'm sure that Rav Henkin knows the Chafetz Chaim and Shmiras HaLashon quite well.

      BTW, as long as we're here, can you provide a citation?

    2. Sorry, citation for what? I just suggested the author to find support of his notion from Chofetz Chaim. I'm sure too that Rav Henkin knows Shmiras HaLashon, but his own views are not mainstream and not only on this topic.

    3. Sorry, citation for what?

      Citation for where this the Chafetz Chaim contradicts him.

      I'm sure too that Rav Henkin knows Shmiras HaLashon, but his own views are not mainstream and not only on this topic.

      Not mainstream among which group? The non-zionist right wing only recognizes the existence of their own, so there is no Rav Yehuda Herzl Henkin, just "Henkin" or maybe "Are you talking about R Yosef Eliyahu Henkin?"

    4. 1. Someone told me a great story: He was at the home of an elderly Rav in Tel Aviv who was answering a shailah. The person said, "But the Mishnah Berurah says the opposite!" The Rav replied, "I dunno, I've been paskening this way since before the Mishnah Berurah was written!"

      2. As far as I know, the Chafetz Chaim does not explicitly discuss the situation discussed here.

  6. Lazar: I don't see anything here going against the Chafetz Chaim? What is your question?

  7. For some reason I know not of any authority dealing directly and in depth with the numerous stories and facts regarding any people in history conveyed in all historical books as well as texts of many other didciplines (including the gamut of biblical and Talmudic scriptures).
    In other words, why does one not consider all within news and historical facts that reflect poorly on one person or another as slander?
    The answer to this must not be knee-jerked but a deep (and hopefully moral) look at questions such as slander of the dead and of the non-Jew, for both of whom I feel the case against slander should not be different. Another question to bear in mind is the abovementioned, regarding the "slandered"'s belief he is right. I have for many years concluded that for example, it could not be slander for a leftist to say his friend is a rightist or vice versa unless the friend is hiding this fact. Yet another question is the oft discussed intention and chances for damage.
    If we were to ignore an in-depth look at these dilemmas and others, one may conclude that it would be forbidden to be exposed to any medium, history book or religious text on any kind that includes facts about people in stories, anecdotes or tales of any sort. This conclusion is clearly absurd.

  8. In my humble opinion any discussion regarding slander must ask some importants questions, some of which have never been treated properly:
    Is slander also against dead people? (Yes.)
    Is it slander if it is against a non-Jew? (a resounding moral yes from me.)
    Is it slander when it is against entire religions, groups, nations, gender, religious denominations? (To me again yes, as well as the worser sins of racism and generalisation.)

    But so far, by these definitions, virtually every media oulet in the world, every history book, and every other text relaying facts about people through stories or anecdotes are 'sinning'. In all of these - including Scripture and the Talmud, for example - there are numerous accounts who shed many persons and peoples in a bad light. In the Pentateuch and the early books of Prophets, there is no individual who is not criticised.

    That is why we must add the aforesaid aspect of one's own convictions. As long as I think my intentions are right and I make them public, it cannot be slander to relay them.
    In addition to the intentiins of the slandered, we must condider the intentions of the slanderer. If it to teach a moral lesson, to keep others educated, to learn from mistakes, or to keep them from harm - it cannot be slander.
    As I said, had the opposite been the case, one could not teach history or read religious texts.

  9. Crazy how applicable this became bc of that nutjob from Baltimore

    1. @Israel Hadar: Can you be more specific?

The traditional recipe for this ‘cooked cream’, from the Piedmont region of Italy, is made with rich thick cream. This lighter version, served with a pretty rhubarb and strawberry compote, is delightfully smooth and creamy yet much lower in fat. Prepare it the day before serving, if possible.

  • 2 cups (500 ml) low–fat milk
  • 1 tablespoon powdered gelatine
  • ⅓ cup (80 g) caster sugar
  • 100 ml pouring cream
  • strip of pared orange zest
  • 1 vanilla pod, split
  • Rhubarb and strawberry compote
  • 400 g pink rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 5 cm lengths
  • juice of 1 orange
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 500 g ripe strawberries, sliced

  1. Pour 150 ml of the milk into a saucepan.
  2. Sprinkle over the gelatine and leave to soak, without stirring, for 5 minutes, or until spongy.
  3. Stir in the sugar, then set the pan over a low heat.
  4. Warm gently, without boiling, until the sugar and gelatine have completely dissolved, stirring frequently.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining milk, the cream and orange zest.
  6. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod into the milk mixture, then add the pod.
  7. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes while preparing the compote.
  8. Place the rhubarb in a saucepan with the orange juice and sugar.
  9. Bring just to a simmer, then cook gently for 3–4 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender but still holding its shape.
  10. Spoon the rhubarb into a serving dish using a draining spoon.
  11. Boil the juice remaining in the pan to reduce it slightly until syrupy.
  12. Pour the juice over the rhubarb and gently stir in the sliced strawberries.
  13. Leave to cool.
  14. Strain the milk mixture through a fine sieve into a jug, then pour into 4 moulds, cups or ramekins of 170 ml capacity.
  15. Allow to cool, then cover and chill for at least 3 hours, or until set.
  16. To serve, run the tip of a knife around the edge of each pannacotta.
  17. Place an inverted serving plate over the top of the ramekin and turn them upside down, holding the two firmly together.
  18. Lift off the ramekin.
  19. Spoon some of the compote on the side of the pannacotta.
  20. Serve the remaining compote separately.

Serves 4
Preparation: 25 minutes, plus at least 3 hours chilling
Cooking: about 5 minutes

Reading is exercise for your brain. Just like your body needs exercise to become strong, your brain needs a workout too. Too many video games, TV watching, texting, etc. can be the equivalent of mental junk food. Think of reading as a healthy eating for your mind and soul.

This is a big problem for kids today. Kids cannot focus on anything for a short period of time and no wonder. Kids are bombarded with images and sounds all day long. From loud, violent cartoons; to bright fast moving video games and speedy lyrics from their favorite hip-hop songs, things are moving at the speed of light, so it’s hard to focus on life. Reading slows things down. They can sit quietly and focus on the story they’re reading. Reading balances out the fast pace virtual lives around them.

Because texting has become an acceptable form of communication kids are learning fewer words. When you are chatting about your favorite basketball star or pop-singer to your BBF you don’t need to show off your vocabulary skills. Just saying he/she is “the bomb” works. But when kids are talking to an adult, especially an adult of authority, like a teacher, slang doesn’t work. Reading exposes kids to new words that they can use in everyday conversations. So the next time your childs teacher asked your child what they did for the weekend, your child can say; “I attended the Beyoncé concert and her performance was extraordinary.” Insteasd of saying “I saw Bey-Bey and she killed it.”

This may be the most important component reading plays in the life of a child. Whether your child wants to be a ballerina, an astronaut or the President of the United States, it all begins in their imagination. Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is the preview of life’s coming attactions”. Think of how powerful that it. Combine that with Walt Disney’s quote “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Imagination is the foundation of all success for all of us and nothing stimulates our imagination like reading.

This is where you sell reading to your child. When they realize reading is the best form of entertainment in the world you will have them hooked as a reader for life. The trick is finding the right book and choosing the right book is easier than you think. Simply take their favorite subject or personality (basketball, LeBron James, singing, Beyoncé, comedy, Kevin Hart, acting, Kerry Washington, etc.) and get their biography or a magazine featuring them. Even if they are reading tabloid entertainment magazines, so what, they’re still reading. You can also trick them into reading by reading a book before you go see the movie of the book. Did you know some of your kids favorite movies (from The Wizard of Oz to, Shrek and Cloudy with a chance of meatballs) were first books. So before you go see the next Pixar movie, read the book together first. Then you can compare the differences between the two. Of course the book is usually better.

Read early

And when I say early I mean in the womb. It’s as much for you as your unborn baby. It allows you to practice and get into the habit of reading to your child. After they’re born read everyday. It’s a great bonding ritual.

Read often

Pick a set time:

Having a set time to read will give your child something to look forward to and also establish a structured time to read. Right after dinner, just before or after bath time or bed-time. Whatever works for you, but try to keep it consistent if your can. Hopefully it will carry over to when they are independent readers and they will develop their own set time to read.

Pick their favorite topics:

You may love mysteries, or dramas but your child may love cars or ballerinas. No matter what their likes are choose books that are going to hold their interest, not yours. Once they are hooked on reading you can introduce them to different genres.

Alternate reading:

Once your child starts reading independently, don’t stop reading with them. Either sit with them while they read or read with them by alternating pages.

-Visit the library regularly. Your local library is the most valuable and underused resource. Besides having thousands of books available, many libraries also have great programs geared towards kids. From author visits to Lego Day many libraries are finding unique ways to draw a younger audience.

Now that you’ve set a set and structured time to read, turn off the tv and phone and turn on sufficient lighting to read. Pick a specific place in the house and make that your special reading place. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the sofa, dinner table or your child’s bed, but stay consistent so your child can look forward to spending their special time reading in a special place.

The impact factors of other journals also increased:

The Editor-in-chief of IUCr Journals, Professor Samar Hasnain commented:" Each of our journals have made a significant improvement in the latest impact factor results. We thank our authors, reviewers, editors and co-editors for their commitment to ensuring that the best of structural science and underpinning technology and methods is reported in IUCr Journals. This is the first time that four of our journals concurrently have an impact factor above 6, and we look forward to building on this success ."Peter Strickland, Executive Managing Editor of IUCr Journals, noted:" This is first time, since I started working for the IUCr some 30 years ago, that I can remember all of the journals increasing their impact factors in the same year.

Ptychographic X-ray imaging is used to characterize the structure and properties of matter and materials. While the method has been around for 50 years or so, wide use was at first hampered by the experimental process being slow and the computational processing of the data to produce a reconstructed image being expensive. But in recent years, advances in detectors and X-ray microscopes at light sources such as Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Advanced Light Source have made it possible to measure a ptychographic data set in seconds. As a result, today ptychography is used in a range of scientific domains, including condensed-matter physics, cell biology and electronics.

Reconstructing ptychographic data sets can be a data-intensive challenge, as it involves solving a difficult phase-retrieval problem, calibrating optical elements and dealing with experimental outliers and 'noise'. To address this challenge, Berkeley Lab scientists developed Angara Prong Set Three Stone Emerald and Diamond Cathedral Ring in Platinum xjNS5
(scalable heterogeneous adaptive real-time ptychography), which enables the reconstruction of millions of phases of ptychographic image data per second. Since being introduced in 2016, has had notable successes in the analysis of magnetic thin films, magnetozomes and three-dimensional battery materials.

Now members of the collaboration have developed a model that further enhances 's reconstruction capabilities. The new algorithm, (gradient decomposition of the probe/alternating direction method of multipliers), is described in a recent article in Section A [ Chang (2018) A 74 , 157-169 ] and was featured on the cover of the May issue. takes advantage of state-of-the-art mathematical aspects of phase retrieval, background-noise optimization and detector 'denoising', allowing to handle more light than before, enabling faster data acquisition and higher time resolution, and ultimately more scientific discoveries.

'The goal was to offer the ability to quickly discover interesting nanoparticles at full resolution by enabling rapid feedback from the microscopists at the beamlines,' said Stefano Marchesini, a staff scientist at Berkeley Lab and a co-author of the article. 'Even when the next-generation coherent light sources come online, we may be able to extend the X-ray energies that can be used in ptychography by using this model.'

The results from structure prediction programs have demonstrated that any organic molecule has the potential to interrelate with its siblings in a number of different ways, the observed crystal structure representing an energy minimum where the contributions from various types of intermolecular interactions have been carefully balanced. Systematic investigations of molecules that share one important moiety/feature provide valuable experimental data for the understanding of this balance and for rationalizing important trends, even among other sets of compounds. Amino acids constitute an attractive group for such a survey, with a common polar head and a variable side chain. Crystal structures of more than 120 regular, acyclic amino acids have been published in the past, meaning that the 20 proteinogenic amino acids represent but a minor fraction of the experimental material. If these amino acids are used, however, to construct dipeptides, they alone leave 20 x 20 = 400 different options. As of June 2018, crystal structures are only available for 104 of them.

is a subgroup of particular interest. These are based on combinations of the five non-polar amino acids alanine (Ala), valine (Val), isoleucine (Ile), leucine (Leu) and phenylalanine (Phe) only, meaning that hydrogen bonds are essentially limited to connecting the constant parts of the molecules, the peptide main chains. Accordingly, any change in crystal structure upon amino acid substitution is due to the side chain.

The crystal structure of Val-Leu acetonitrile solvate presented in Angara Womens Aquamarine Stud Earrings in Platinum sRbup
is the 25th and last missing piece in the 5 x 5 puzzle of hydrophobic dipeptide structures. This “completion event” is used here as an opportunity to review their crystal packing arrangements and hydrogen-bonding pattern preferences, the associated peptide conformations and the sometimes unexpected impact a seemingly modest amino acid substitution can have not only on the crystal structure but also on the propensity to include co-crystallized solvent molecules.

IUCrJ Editorial Board Member Richard Henderson (MRC LMB, Cambridge, UK) has been made a Companion of Honour in Queen Elizabeth II's 2018 Birthday Honours list for services to electron microscopy of biological molecules. The order is a special award held by only 65 people at any one time.

Ensemble of hotel, commercial spaces and apartments on Wijnhaveneiland

The Wijnhaven hotel is a development which includes next to hotel functions with a restaurant also commercial spaces and apartments. It is located on Rotterdam’s Wijnhaveneiland, next to the Red Apple, a mixed-use building designed by KCAP and realized in 2009. Wijnhaveneiland is a strategic area in Rotterdam, flanked by the arteries that link the city centre with the south bank of the river Mass. In the recent years the area has undergone a urban regeneration, based on a dynamic transformation model developed by KCAP that takes in advantage the free-market forces as urban generator, while ensuring the balance between old and new construction, the preservation of views and sufficient incidence of daylight throughout the area. Together with the Red Apple the Wijnhaven hotel forms the block on the tip of the island facing the historical area of Rotterdam’s old harbour.The massing and building height of the hotel building blends in with its surroundings. It reveals its two different functions – hotel and apartments - while maintaining one coherent image at the same time. This is achieved by composing two contrasting façades on top of a bonding plinth. The apartments open towards the quay with a totally glazed elevation, whereas the hotel reveals a more enclosed thus massive appearing yet light-weight undulating polyester façade. The plinth connects the ensemble horizontally and refers with its execution in natural stone to the quay. At the same time it creates vertical links by adopting the rhythm of the volume on top.

Yesterday, KCAP's ibis hotel in Rotterdam's Wijnhaveneiland has been officially and above all spectacularly openend with a show by Flyboatteam on the river. The hotel is already operational since August 2014 and marks a major step in KCAP's urban transformation of the post-war office environment Wijnhaveneiland into a new vivid city quarter. The hotel, together with Dock21 and the Red Apple, complete the block at the tip of Wijnhaveneiland.

Today official opening of ibis hotel Rotterdam City Centre

Today, the new ibis hotel Rotterdam City Centre on Rotterdam's Wijnhaveneiland will be officially opened. KCAP is responsible for the design of the hotel and the adjacent Dock21 apartment building. The ensemble has been developed and realised by J.P. van Eesteren. The hotel is operational since August 2014 and marks a major step in the urban transformation of the post-war office environment into a new vivid city quarter. The ensemble, together with Dock21 and the Red Apple, also designed by KCAP, complete the block at the tip of Wijnhaveneiland.

Jun, 22, 2018

Power is set to return for its fifth season on July 1 and many fans are still reeling from Raina's sudden death in season four.

James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) and wife Tasha's ( Naturi Naughton ) nearly nonexistent marriage is still chugging along, but can they survive the loss of their daughter ? And, how would Ghost react to the possibility of Tariq not being his son?

Some fans have long speculated that Tariq may actually be Kanan's child, point to similarities between the two and a creepy moment in season two when Kanan tells Tasha that he used to think about her while in jail.

Plot twist Ghost showed no emotion because Raina and Tariq are not his kids and Kanan is their father

So, what you saying? Tasha wanted Ghost to kill Kanan because she knows that Kanan is Tariq's real father?

Waiting on Tommy to figure out who killed Julio, Tariq to get slapped, Sandoval to get caught us to find out Kanan Tariq's father

What is this history lesson? Kanan is really Tariq's father? 🤔

• Shawn Was Ghost Son Tariq Is Kanan Son

I really think Tariq is Kanans. Looks more like him, his whole energy reflects Kanan. When he first met him he just latched onto him with ease. More chemistry there than with Ghost.

Are you ready?

Methods To Restore Corrupt RM Files In Few Clicks

RM stands for RealMedia is a proprietary multimedia container format created by RealNetworks. The file extension is ‘.rm’ frequently used in audio and videos formates. It is typically used in conjunction with RealVideo and RealAudio and is used for streaming content over the Web. Typically these streams are in CBR (constant bitrate), but a container for VBR (variable bitrate) streams, named  RMVB (RealMedia variable bitrate), has been developed. A RM file is a multimedia file used by RealPlayer, video and an audio playback and streaming program. The file contains audio or video data or a link to a streaming media file, which is played back as it is downloaded. RM files are commonly used for streaming content over the Internet such as video and Internet radio.

Reasons By Which RM Files Get Deleted

Pakistani pace spearhead Wahab Riaz and leg-spinner Yasir Shah have been reported to be involved in a scuffle during a practice session in Brisbane on Wednesday following which the team management is likely to take action against the duo.

As per a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official, both the players hit each other following an argument while playing football on the eve of the opening Test of the three-match series against Australia starting from Thursday.

"Nothing major happened but that is a disciplinary breach," the PCB official was quoted as saying by the Express Tribune. "The team management may take action against the two players after hearing from them."

IMAGE: Yasir Shah and Wahab Riaz bury the hatchet by posting a picture together on Twitter.

However, both the Pakistan teammates buried the hatchet by posting a picture together from Yasir's twitter account.

Altercations during international tours is nothing new to Pakistani players with the scuffle between former fast-bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Muhammad Asif in Johannesburg in 2007 ICC World Twenty20 being the most infamous one.

The Gabba Test will be followed by games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (December 26-30) and the Sydney Cricket Ground (January 3-7, 2017).

'Aadhaar-like database for hospitals soon'

March 15, 2018 09:02 IST

'There’s no scope for a fictitious hospital.'

'We are trying to provide services for risk mitigation and fraud prevention.'

Illustration: Uttam Ghosh/

Kunnal Prem, below, chief executive officer of the Insurance Information Bureau of India (IIB), tells Mayank Jain on what they’re doing.

What are your objectives?

In the early 2000s, the industry had opened up and Irdai (Insurance Regulatory Development Authority of India) was collecting a lot of data.

At that point, the chairman of the regulator felt data from both life and non-life insurance had to be handled in a more efficient manner.

That’s when Irdai promoted this body, in 2009. It was made a non-profit society in 2012.

The objective was to support the industry with sector-level data and provide key inputs to the regulator to assist in policy making.

The regulator, under the mandate of the IRDA Act, advised all insurance companies to submit data in specific formats on policy and claim levels.

How is this data on policies and claims being used?

First, we are a central repository of data.

If the regulator wants data while making a policy, we provide it.

We, thus, support the regulator in its work. We also provide benchmark rates for the industry.

We have to give back insights to the people providing us the data, the insurance companies.

We provide them insights through services, reports and customised data.

Each insurance company has own data but they would not be privy to what is happening at the sectoral level.

We provide this. A company would also like to know how it fares in terms of sector parameters.

Are these paid services?

Some are annual reports, given free of cost. And, bespoke reports that insurer companies ask us for, which are charged.

These reports are based on specific products or regions they are looking to analyse.

How much demand do you see for this data, with insurance penetration still very low?

Data is very important in all sectors, not only this one.

It serves a lot of purposes for insurance companies.

In life insurance, we look at the death experience or mortality, and see how and when people are dying.

We look at companies’ strategy, their product profile, claims experience or any leakages and assist the regulator to fix these.

Also, for instance in motor insurance, a lot of vehicles get registered every day.

When you match the vehicle registration with motor insurance, you get a mapper of uninsured vehicles.

This is given to law enforcement agencies and this also helps to create the needed insurance.

Both the government and law enforcers are committed to get this data through the exchange of information on registered vehicles.

IIB is also building a database on hospitals. What is the aim?

This initiative is called ROHINI -- Registry of Hospitals in the Insurance Network. Irdai issued guidelines in July 2016, mandating all hospitals in the insurance network.

Hospitals are provided a unique identification number, with the geographical coordinates.

So, hospitals under the system can service cashless, reimbursement and other claims with their insurance providers.

Initially, about 32,000 hospitals were on-boarded free on the network.

Later, it was stated they should renew their subscription every year, paying a small fee.

After feedback, we switched to a once in three years renewal. We now charge a hospital Rs 2,750 for three years.

If a hospital doesn’t have this unique ID number, it can’t service insurance clients?

This is something Irdai has to look into.

We are only a registering authority here but the guidelines hold that anyone who supports insurance claims must be registered with the ROHINI database.

As of now, the project also needs to be enhanced quite a lot.

We need to provide value to the hospitals and stakeholders.

We need to transfer records digitally, to help faster processing of claims.

There’s a lot of scope for fraud, which can be reduced by working entirely on this digital platform.

In its present state, ROHINI is only being used for registration, generating the unique number and for hospitals to participate in the insurance claims system.

One could say it is like an Aadhaar (the citizen identification system) for hospitals -- there’s no scope for a fictitious hospital.

How many hospitals are due for renewals currently and why are they not renewing their ROHINI subscriptions?

Around 40 per cent of hospitals have renewed their subscriptions.

Total hospitals on-boarded have gone up to 38,000.

Everyone in the insurance network is registered.

Renewal is the problem. We have done a lot of follow-up on those not renewing their subscription.

We have eased the process to once in three years. Insurance companies and TPAs (third-party administrators) are making their effort.

Frankly, hospitals should also understand the value they are getting from registering. We are working on enhancing our value proposition.

Are you also looking to align with ModiCare (new government scheme for health insurance) in some way?

We have some data on the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY) but there are data sharing issues with all government departments.

There is an initiative by the ministry of health and family welfare, where they are trying to create a common repository of all health are facilities.

We have been asked to be part of the group. Deliberations are going on.

Is IIB covered by the Right to Information Act?

No. We operate under Irdai.

What are your future plans?

The industry needs a lot of real-time services.

We have proposed some; one service has been implemented.

If someone approaches an insurance company with a vehicle claim, the company has to depend on their word on whether he has taken a claim before or not.

We help the industry to understand, using identification, if there has been a claim or not.

This helps them to avoid giving no-claim bonuses to the wrong parties.

Many leakages take place because of wrong declarations.

We are trying to provide services for risk mitigation and fraud prevention.

Frauds, both organised and unorganised, are increasing across the country, across insurance products.

'AI will be a technology like Excel'

'Artificial intelligence works best on unstructured data. And no other country has the amount of unstructured data like India has.'

Among the global technology firms working out of India, chipmaker Intel is leading several initiatives to not only come out with technologies that can solve the unique problems that the country is facing, but it is also working with multiple stakeholders including academia, research bodies and even startups to build the innovation ecosystem in India.

"If you don't know artificial intelligence, you will be missing out," Nivruti Rai, bottom, left, Country Head, Intel India, tells Debasis Mohapatra.

What is the reason behind working with Israel to promote the startup ecosystem in India?

Israel has successfully created much technology-driven entrepreneurship. The country, which has a population of 8 million, produces 5 startups everyday.

India with a 1.2 billion population establishes 5 startups per day and we believe 90 per cent of them are failing.

So, something is not right.

We will look at their success criteria. Now, India, while we say, is a digital economy, it is a complex country.

That means we need a tremendous amount of solutions (to solve these issues) and time is short.

India has a lot of strength; we have smart people, but somehow our business model is not right.

So, we are partnering with the Israel consulate general in south India as a part of which we will work with the Israel centre at IIM-Bangalore.

We have an amazing Maker Lab facility, which incubates startups.

We are going to open our Maker Lab in Israel, which will solve problems relevant for India and make sure they have the ability to monetise their ideas.

Artificial Intelligence, 5G connectivity and assisted driving will be the key technology areas we will work on with Israel.

The intent is how to use these technologies in healthcare, agriculture and road safety.

What are the key technologies that Intel India is currently working on?

Intel has its second largest design house outside the United States in India. So, every technology which Intel India is also working on.

Our focus has been on the desktop, which is one of our old businesses; mobile and laptop.

Some of the newer areas are in the autonomous driving, in the driver assist programme.

Then, we are also looking at enabling the Smart City programme.

Another focus area is data localisation, which India is now pushing for.

Apart from Amazon or Microsoft, we need to have our local cloud centres.

Memory technology is another key area as unless we have optimised our memory technology with the influx of data, we will not be able to store or process that data.

Intel is working on a technology called 3DX Point.

For example, a small pen drive today stores one gigabyte of data. With our technology, it will store a terabyte of data.

What is the mandate from the government with regard to data localisation?

The government is really pushing for a lot of data localisation. Our role will be basically looking at enabling data localisation. We have to encourage local cloud services.

What is the success rate of startups from Intel's incubation centre?

It has been two years for us. We have incubated 50 plus startups here so far. Many of them are generating significant revenues and making operating profit.

On the artificial intelligence front, what is the key work being done by Intel?

Artificial intelligence works best on unstructured data. And no other country has the amount of unstructured data like India has.

China may come close to it, but is nowhere near us.

These are absolutely raw data, which need to be annotated, then fed into a model and that model is then used for projections.

AI will be a technology like Excel of today.

If you don't know artificial intelligence, you will not be able to leverage and you will be missing out.

Intel India is partnering with the government on AI technology.

An update on the work you are doing in blockchain technology?

We already have a product from Intel and Intel India has contributed to it.

Unless this technology is put to right use, it creates no value.

So, for blockchain, we are looking at what are the problem statements within India.

I can't name the customers we are working with, but there are exciting opportunities.

We are working on many different possibilities and fintech is one of them.

'Mallika and Konkona are one and the same'

June 21, 2007 13:28 IST

Pyar Ke Side Effects opposite Bollywood bombshell Mallika Sherawat won him accolades galore. He effortlessly slipped into his character as the 'commitment phobic' Sid.

His rugby fixation is legendary and his dedication to social work is admirable.

A director, writer, an avid sports person, a social activist, an actor... Rahul Bose juggles all this with considerable elan.

And now he takes on kids in his latest offering Chain Kulli Ki Main Kulli which is all set for release this Friday. Swati R Chaudhary managed to track him down for a chat. Excerpts:

Tell us something about Chain Kulli Ki Main Kulli?

It's essentially a children's film, about a child who has a 'magic bat' and whenever he hits the bat, the ball goes for a four or six.

One day the bat loses its magic and a lot transpires thereafter. It's a fun fantasy film with a meaningful lesson in the end.

It's about this kid's relationship with me and how we both end up learning from each other. I play the captain of the Indian team in the film.

Did you practice for the film?

Yes I did. I had to train for about a month at the Khar Gymkhana. Technically, I had to look like the opening batsman in the film. (Incidentally, none other than Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, former Indian cricket captain, coached him when he was a teenager)

Was it a pleasurable experience or did you have a tough time mingling with kids?

I had a wonderful experience working with them and enjoyed myself immensely. Children needn't be treated like children. It's so easy to get along with them.

A still from the movie Chain Kulli Ki Main KulliWhat made you do a children's film?

There are quite a few reasons actually. For one, I had never done a children's film before. Second, my ten-year old niece would get to see a film like this. Such films have huge market potential and I want to set a standard with this one. Moreover, I wanted a U-certificate for at least one of my films.

Your favourite children's film?

There are some amazing children's films I've seen. Shekhar Kapur's Mr India was very enjoyable. Actually I enjoy animation films like Shrek a lot more!

What are your next films?

There's Rajiv Virani's The Whisperers with Manoj Bajpai -- a two-man psychological thriller, Aparna Sen's Japanese Wife that portrays a long distance romance through letters, Samar Khan's Shourya, based on court martial and Santosh Sivan's Before the Rains, which I'm extremely proud of. I have no news as far as Bits and Pieces (National Award-winning director Manmohan Mahapatra's first Hindi film) is concerned.

When shall we see you donning the director's hat again?

I'll be directing a film based on Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid's novel Moth Smoke.  But that's a year from now so I'd rather not talk about it.

If you could single out one filmmaker who showcased your talents in the most amazing way, whom would you choose?

I consider myself to be very fortunate for having got the opportunity of working with some of the finest filmmakers like Govind Nihalani, Aparna Sen, Santosh Sivan and Buddhadev Dasgupta to mention a few. They all have extracted the best out of me.

Any specific director you want to work with?

I'd love to work with Shekhar Kapur someday!

You've worked with Mallika Sherawat and Konkona Sen Sharma, both as different as chalk and cheese. Who's the better actor?

Mallika and Konkona are one and the same. They are just the same people, who appear at different places, at different times.

Another still from Chain...And the better person?

They are the same as I said earlier.

Do you have close buddies in the industry you often hang out with?

No. I don't have close friends in Bollywood. I live on Peddar Road in south Mumbai. So I have a very non-filmy social circle. Manoj Bajpai is a good friend though he stays very far from my residence.

You are considered an art-house film actor. Does that offend you? And is that the reason you are consciously treading the commercial path now?

Firstly, I don't think I follow trends. You just need to believe in yourself. People have varied perceptions and that doesn't really bother me. They will obviously have different things to say about different people. Wait until Before the Rains and a few of my other films come out!

Comedy, dark films and now a children's flick? Which other genre do you wish to explore?

I would love to do an action film but it has to be a well-written, taut script with my role well etched out. May be something like Lethal Weapon!

Your most gratifying performance to date?

It has to be (Buddhadeb Dasgupta's) Kaalpurush .

Are you content with your career?

I am more than happy with my career. My cup of happiness is overflowing. I don't want to change anything about it.

Two more teams comprising of 79 personnel from Varanasi too reached Kanpur within hours.

Anand edges past Matlakov in Tata Steel opener

January 14, 2018 16:08 IST

V Anand

Viswanathan Anand survived a few anxious moments, including a checkmate attempt by Maxim Matlakov, before prevailing over rival in the first round of Tata Steel Masters Chess tournament in Wijk Aan Zee, The Netherlands.

Coming into the event after his title-win at the World Rapid Championship, Anand came up with some fine manoeuvres before dodging the checkmate attempt by the Russian.

The Indian ace is playing in this 80th edition after a gap of four years but proved once again that it remains his favourite hunting ground.

A winner here five times, a record that he shares with World Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway, Anand went for complications right from the beginning when he allowed Matlakov to break through on the queen side in a closed Ruy Lopez.

The Russian managed to weaken white’s king side and threatened a beautiful checkmate vide queen sacrifice at one point. Anand came out of that but not without an error that could have left him a pawn less.

However, Matlakov missed his chance and then was subjected to a lesson in a major piece endgame. Anand’s queen and rook dominated the proceedings once the Indian won a pawn and though the technicalities remained, it was all over in 53 moves.

"I was not able to breakthroughs," said Anand in the post-game chat adding that it would have been a huge technical task to convert if his opponent had not blundered.

When asked about his possible sixth title victory here Anand said, "If I win now, I'm winning after 12 years, so it's not like I've been blazing but, well, I'll try for sure."

Grandmaster B Adhiban, the other Indian in the 14-player 13-round field, started off with a draw against Peter Svidler of Russia. In the last edition, Adhiban had caused a sensation here when he finished third ahead of many stalwarts.

Besides Anand, Vladimir Kramnik of Russia and local hero Anish Giri were the other winners in the opening round.

Kramnik ground down China’s Wei Yi while Giri scored against highest-ranked woman Yifan Hou of China. Carlsen was held to a draw by Fabiano Caruana of United States. It was a usually long game arising out of a Petroff defense that the world champion could not break.

In the Challengers section, top seed Vidit Gujrathi was held to a draw by World Junior champion Aryan Tari of Norway. It was a Ruy Lopez where Gujrathi played black and sacrificed his rook to force perpetual checks.

D Harika played out a creditable draw with Amin Baseem of Egypt.

Complete Results round 1 Masters:

Anish Giri (Ned) beat Yifan Hou (Chn); Vladimir Kramnik (Rus) beat Wei Yi (Chn); Peter Svidler (Rus) drew with B Adhiban (Ind); Magnus Carlsen (Nor) drew with Fabiano Caruana (Usa); Gawain Jones (Eng) drew with Sergey Karjakin (Rus); V Anand (Ind) beat Maxim Matlakov (Rus); Wesley So (Usa) drew with Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (Aze).

Jeffery Xiong (Usa) drew with Benjamin Bok (Ned); Anton Korobov (Ukr) beat Matthias  Bluebaum (Ger); Olga Girya (Rus) lost to Dmitry Gordievsky (Rus); Jordan Van Foreest (Ned) beat Lucas Van Foreest (Ned); Aryan Tari (Nor) drew with Vidit, Santosh Gujrathi (Ind); Michal Krasenkow (Pol) drew with Erwin L'Ami (Ned); Amin  Bassem (Egy) drew with D Harika (Ind).

Sensational Spieth caps season with $11.48 million double win

September 28, 2015 09:37 IST

Jordan Spieth

Jordan Spieth capped a brilliant season in sensational style as he scored a four-stroke victory at the Tour Championship on Sunday that also won him the FedExCup playoffs title for an $11.48 million pay day.

Spieth shot a closing one-under-par 69 at East Lake Golf Club for a nine-under total of 271 and his fifth win of the season, including the Masters and US Open.

The prize money haul included the $10 million jackpot bonus for winning the season's FedExCup points competition, virtually clinched him Player of the Year honours and returned the 22-year-old American to the number one world ranking.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson rolled in a 57-foot birdie putt at the last for a 72 to tie for second on five-under 275 with Englishman Justin Rose (66) and Danny Lee of New Zealand (65).

"This is incredible. This is an event that we approach like a major championship because we know this is possible at the end of it," said Spieth after hoisting the silver FedExCup trophy.

Spieth experienced a slight lull to his sensational season in the last month as Australian Jason Day went red-hot to win four of six events, including the PGA Championship and two of the FedExCup playoff tournaments.

However, the ultra-competitive Spieth geared up for a run at the Tour Championship/FedExCup double and hit his target.

"I got frustrated. I missed two cuts in a row, had never done that, lost the number one ranking. I was watching Jason Day just dominate golf," said Spieth, whose PGA Tour season earnings ballooned to $22 million because of the FedExCup bonus.

"I got to work, put my head down a little more than I did right after the PGA, knowing that we could still peak this week and that's what we did."

Spieth once again wielded a magic putter to quash the hopes of his rivals.

He began the day with a one-shot lead over Stenson, the 2013 FedExCup winner. He extended that advantage to two but after six holes the pair were tied when Spieth suffered a second consecutive bogey.

With both players starting the week inside the top five in FedExCup points -- and thus assured of winning the FedExCup by winning the tournament -- it seemed to be a two-man game.

Spieth took command on the eighth hole by rolling in a 21-foot birdie putt, while Stenson bogeyed for a two-shot swing.

Then after Stenson knocked his approach close at the ninth, Spieth rolled in an 18-footer to maintain his advantage.

Two holes later, Spieth rolled in 46-foot putt for birdie to retain his two-shot edge, drawing a wry grin from the Swede who acknowledged the American's effort with a fist bump on the green.

With Rose, Lee, Dustin Johnson (64), Bubba Watson (67) and Englishman Paul Casey, who reached six-under before bogeys at 16 and 17, making charges, Spieth continued to use his putter to hold them at bay.

He saved par at the 15th with a putt from nine feet and did so again at 16, and Stenson gave him breathing room with a double-bogey at 17 after shanking his approach shot.

"I didn't quite get going today and Jordan was putting unbelievably well," said Stenson, whose long birdie putt at the last moved him into second place in the final FedExCup standings for an extra $1 million and a total $3 million bonus.

"Whenever he had to make a putt, he did it. So, very well-deserving champion."

With every roofing project that we take on, we always work hard to make sure our customers are happy and satisfied with the work that we do.  A big part of that is making sure they understand the reasoning behind why we do things a certain way or educating them on the differences between the products we select.  Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions that we’ve received over the years.  If there is a question you have that is not listed below, feel free to contact us!

What are the signs that I need a new roof?

The longevity of your roof is dependent on many factors.  Generally, a typical roof will last between 20 to 25 years.  If your existing shingle is older and have never been replaced, you should be on the look out for any defects.  If your shingles show signs of curling, buckling or any dark spots or trails, you may also need a new roof.  Missing shingles also indicate that your roof is defective.

If in doubt, please call us to get a professional opinion about the state of your existing roof.  Call 807-548-2811 in the Kenora area or 204-237-5401 in the Winnipeg area, or fill out our online estimate form.

What are ice dams? How can they be avoided?

Ice dams occur when there is constant thawing and freezing of melting snow.  Ice dams are typically found in the areas closest to the edge or eavestrough on the roof. When snow melts, the water will run down and collect at the edge of the roof.  If it cannot be drained properly, the water will freeze when the temperatures drops.  When this process happens over and over again, an “ice dam” will be created at the edge of the roof and the ice will continue to build upwards towards the peak of the roof, causing potential damage to the roofing product.

Ice dams are caused by inadequate attic ventilation or insufficient attic insulation, both resulting in a warmer attic space, natural sunlight melting the snow or just naturally occuring ice accumulation due to weather conditions.

Tips to avoid ice dams:

  • Increase the number of roof vents as a means of improving attic ventilation
  • A perfect balance between intake and exhaust vents will help to keep the attic cool
  • If inadequate insulation is the culprit, lower the humidity level in your home
  • Improving insulation and ensuring proper ventilation will keep the attic space cool

Should I repair or replace my roof?

This will depend on the composition and age of your roof. If it is a standard shingle variety approaching 20 years of age, chances are it is time for a new roof. If there is no documentation as to the age of the roof, visually inspect the shingles for loss of granules, fracturing, or curling of roof material.

A leak is usually the first indicator that something needs to be fixed. Leaks are not always obvious, nor are they necessarily located directly under the section where the ceiling is dripping. Water seeping in from the roof often travels along rafters and studs to a low point, causing discolored spots on the ceiling and walls some distance from the leak. Sometimes even a musty smell may indicate a roof-related problem.

What factors should I consider before choosing a new roof?

Two major factors to consider when selecting roofing materials are appearance and longevity. Selecting the appropriate color and style of roofing material can increase the home’s curb appeal. Warranties can range from 25 years to lifetime, depending on the shingle and the manufacturer. Ask us for more specific details on warranties.

How can I prolong the life of my roof?

It is important to keep gutters free of debris and to clean leaves and other materials from chimney flashing, vents, and valleys. Keep the roof clear of anything that might work its way under shingles or flashing and cause them damage. Trim tree branches that might scrape or fall on the roof, and keep an eye on the condition of the roofing material as it ages.

Why is it important to make sure the contractor has their own insurance?

If a roofing company is not properly insured, the homeowner or the homeowner’s insurance company becomes liable for personal injury claims and damages to the home. Reputable roofing companies, like REMR Roofing, carry workers’ compensation for injured workers and adequate levels of liability coverage. This insurance must be renewed anually, so be sure to ask if their insurance is up to date.

What is done to protect my property during the roofing process?

All grounds and surrounding area of your home will be treated with utmost care before, during and after installation process.  We take care to protect your property and throroughly clean up when we have completed our work.  REMR Roofing will dispose of old material in a manner that provides accessibility without causing any damage to grass or driveway.
