Billy Chapin, known for featuring in films like “The Kid from Left Field” and “The Night of the Hunter” as a child actor has died at the age of 72.

His sister and fellow former child actor, Lauren, announced the news on Facebook on Saturday, reports variety.com.

She wrote that Billy had died on Friday night “after a long illness”.

“Billy was a wonderful brother to both Michael and me,” Lauren wrote. “And he made us proud of all the great films he was in… He will be greatly missed.”

Billy, Lauren and their brother, Michael, were all successful child actors during the 1940s and 1950s. Billy, born as William McClellan Chapin is the middle of the three siblings who were all born here.

Apart from several stage appearances as a newborn, Billy got his start in 1951 in the Broadway production of “Three Wishes for Jamie”. His first big on-screen role was as the “Diaper Manager” Christie Cooper in the 1953 baseball film “The Kid from Left Field”. The family film also starred Dan Dailey, Anne Bancroft and Lloyd Bridges.

Billy's most recognisable role came in 1955 in the film “Night of the Hunter” directed by Charles Laughton. Although it was considered a critical and commercial failure at the time, in 1992, the United States Library of Congress selected the picture for preservation in the National Film Registry, forever preserving its legacy.

After “Night of the Hunter”, his film career declined, then his television roles wrapped up as well until his career in Hollywood ended in 1959.

RBI to issue new Rs.50, Rs.20 notes; old notes to remain legal

Representational image (Photo: Getty Images)

The Reserve Bank of India will soon issue new notes of Rs.50 and Rs.20. The new Rs.20 note will bear signature of Dr Urjit R Patel, Governor of RBI and the year of printing ‘2016’ printed on the reverse of banknote with the inset letter ‘L’ while the new Rs.50 note will be without the inset letter, the Union government stated on Sunday.

The design and security features will be similar to the old notes of the same denomination. However, old notes will continue to be legal and valid.

The move comes in less than a month after the government’s shocking move of scrapping Rs.500 and Rs.1,000 notes in a bid to curb black money. While protests by the opposition continues against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation move, the government has already rolled out yet another new development.

Sujoy Ghosh opens up on his rapport with Vidya

(Photo: Facebook)

Sujoy Ghosh opens up on his rFilmmaker Sujoy Ghosh has opened up on what had gone wrong in his rapport with actress Vidya Balan, who worked with him in the hit 2012 thriller film “Kahaani”.

After “Kahaani”, when Vidya turned down his next film, Ghosh was shattered.

Ghosh said: “It was unexpected. And I was disappointed. But it wasn’t Vidya’s fault at all. We build all these unreasonable expectations from all those whom we love. And then, when they are unable to fulfill these inflated expectations we are hurt.”

“It isn’t fair to ourselves or to whose whom we love and expect to love up to our hopes. Even if she is your wife why would you expect her to have your meal on the table every day?”

So what happened?

He said: “When I narrated a script to Vidya, she told me not to call it ‘Kahaani 2’. She felt it was not in that genre at all. She was completely right. But I was hurt. Anyway, I moved to other projects which for some reason didn’t materialise. For example, I was supposed to do a film adaptation of Keigo Huganshino’s Japanese novel “The Devotion Of Suspect X”. It was to be produced by Balaji Telefilms. Only they know what went wrong. I was destined to do another film with Vidya only. So here I am.”

Four years after “Kahaani”, Ghosh and Vidya are back together.

“I know of several heroines who give their heart, soul and limb to a character. But Vidya’s dedication is on another level of passion altogether. When she heard the script she decided the character will wear no make-up.

“And she stuck by her resolve, didn’t sneak make-up on when I wasn’t looking. You will see her looking like yesterday night’s chapatti in this film. For the sequence, where she runs out on the street after her daughter is kidnapped, Vidya lay on the busy Grand Trunk Road for two hours with heavy traffic all around her. Which actress would have the balls to do this?”

He says he is not bogged down by expectations.

“We did something unexpected in ‘Kahaani’ four years ago. And when we had a pregnant woman running through the streets of Kolkata, people considered us mad. But you should have passion (lekin ek junoon toh honi chahiye). Vidya has the passion. I have it too, I think. I know people expect another ‘Kahaani’ from me and Vidya. We are going to tell another kahaani (story). Hopefully, this one will grip audiences’ minds the same way as the first film.”

As for the expectations, the director says they are invalid.

“You can’t make a film based on what people expect from you. ‘Kahaani 2’ has been made because there is a story we want to tell and not because the audiences expect another ‘Kahaani’ from me and Vidya.”

RB Leipzig regains top spot in Bundesliga

A controversial penalty helped the newcomers and league surprise leaders win a closely fought game.

Timo Werner (Photo: AFP)

Leipzig extended their eight-game winning streak after edging Schalke 2-1 and Dortmund came from behind to beat Monchengladbach 4-1 in the 13th round of Bundesliga.

The encounter on Saturday started with a controversial penalty as referee Bastian Dankert pointed to the spot with 19 seconds into the game although Schalke goalkeeper Ralf Faehrmann did not tackle Leipzig striker Timo Werner, who went down untouched, inside the box, reports Xinhua.

Werner then stepped up and converted the penalty into the bottom right to mark the opener with two minutes into the match.

The early opener from Leipzig was a shock for the visitors, who almost conceded the second goal as they were failed to clear the ball from the inside the box moments later.

As the match progressed, both sides neutralized the offensive efforts within the midfield. Thus, goal-scoring opportunities remained a rare occurrence until the half hour mark.

Schalke increased their efforts and rewarded themselves in the 32nd minute as Sejad Kolasinac slotted home a rebound from sharp angle to level the scores.

However, Kolasinac remained in the thick of things as he went from hero to villain after heading a free kick from Leipzig's Emil Forsberg into the wrong goal to give the hosts the 2-1 lead in the 47th minute.

Schalke were unable to overcome Leipzig's defence for a second goal. Hence their seven-game unbeaten streak came to an end whereas Leipzig remain unbeaten in the 13th game of the season.

In other match, Thomas Tuchel's men returned to winning ways and turned the tides from a goal down as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang provided a brace to extend Monchengladbach's winless run to eight games.

The “Foals” ensured a fairy-tale start into the game though, as Raffael broke the deadlock with just six minutes into the game after slotting home a misplaced clearance attempt from the edge of the box.

However, it was a short-lived joy for the visitors as Dortmund's top striker Aubameyang restored parity only 56 seconds later when he tapped home Marco Reus assist to score his 14th goal of the season.

Dortmund gained momentum and grabbed the 2-1 lead in the 15th minute as Monchengladbach failed to clear a corner kick into the box allowing Lukasz Piszczek to head home.

Dortmund continued their dominant performance as they got a goal ruled off-side from Reus before Ousmane Dembele extended the lead after dancing through Monchengladbach's defence to make it 3-1 with 64 minutes played.

The hosts were not done with the scoring and rounded off their powerful performance as Aubameyang wrapped up his brace to extend his goal tally to 15 after poking home Reus' back heel pass from six meters in the 68th minute.

Among other matches, third placed Hertha Berlin bounced back and reaped the second straight win with a 3-2 at Wolfsburg.

Hoffenheim extend their unbeaten run to five games after crushing Cologne 4-0 thanks to the brace from Sandro Wagner.

Bayer Leverkusen shared the spoils with Freiburg following a 1-1 as Javier Hernandez squandered a late penalty and Werder Bremen ended their winless run after beating Ingolstadt 2-1.

RBI Governor gets Rs.2 lakh pay, no supporting staff at home

(Photo: Twitter)

RBI Governor Urjit Patel gets a little over Rs.2.lakh as salary and has not been provided with any supporting staff at his residence, the central bank has said.

Patel, who took over as RBI Governor in September, is presently in possession of the bank’s flat (Deputy Governor’s flat) at Mumbai, it said.

“No supporting staff has been provided to the present Governor, Urjit Patel at his residence. Two cars and two drivers have been provided to the present Governor,” RBI said in reply to an RTI query.

The bank was asked to provide details of remuneration given to former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan and incumbent Patel.

For the month of October — the first full month Patel was in office as Governor — Patel got Rs. 2.09 lakh as his salary, the same amount drawn by Rajan as his August’s salary.

Rajan demitted office on September 4, and was given Rs. 27,933 as remuneration for four days.

Rajan assumed the charge of RBI Governor from September 5, 2013 at a monthly salary of Rs 1.69 lakh. His salary was revised to Rs. 1.78 lakh and Rs. 1.87 lakh respectively during 2014 and March 2015. His salary was hiked to Rs. 2.09 lakh from Rs. 2.04 lakh in January this year, the RTI reply said.

Rajan was provided with three cars and four drivers. “One caretaker and nine maintenance attendants were posted as supporting staff in the bungalow provided by the bank to the former Governor Raghuram Rajan at Mumbai,” RBI said.

The Centre has recently declined to share details on appointment of Patel and other candidates shortlisted for the top post in the central bank saying these are “cabinet papers” and cannot be made public.

Patel was on August 20 named as RBI’s Governor to succeed Rajan.

Lulia Vantur not disturbed over link-up rumours with Salman

(Photo: Facebook)

Romanian beauty Iulia Vantur says the rumours of her link-up with superstar Salman Khan don't disturb her but it is difficult for her parents and feels people should speak about work rather than personal things.

“I have worked a lot for everything that I have achieved there, people here don't know about my career there. I have worked hard. It's not disturbing for me, it's for my parents.But it's no one's fault. I think people can speak more about work, professional stuff than a personal thing,” Iulia told.

The model-actress also brushed aside the reports of her being married saying she has never tied the knot or left her husband.”For me such reports are not a problem, somewhere I amused to this, but for my parents it's difficult. Also, I want to clarify that I was never married. It came in the press that I was married and I left my husband but it's not true.”

Ever since Iulia was spotted with Salman's mother and made various appearances with the Khan family, be it at their residence in Bandra or Panvel farmhouse, rumours of their growing romance have been rife.

Meanwhile, Iulia has sung her first song in Bollywood- a Hinglish track titled “Every Night And Day” – for Himesh

Reshammiya's music album “Aap Se Mausiiquii”, which is produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series.

It is the first time she faced the Indian media and Iulia says Salman advised her, to be honest, and be herself.

Asked what she has learned from the “Dabangg” star, she said, “To give your best.”

Now Apple working on self-driving car

(Photo: Getty Images)

A month after Volvo got an order of 100 self-driving cars from Uber, Apple has hinted that it will enter the driverless cars market where bigwigs like Tesla and Google have already made deep inroads, a media report said.

According to a report in The Verge, the Cupertino-based tech giant — under its so-called Project Titan — has submitted a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, stating that it is “investing heavily in the study of machine learning and automation, and is excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation”.

The letter is Apple’s official comment on the federal government’s automated vehicle guidelines, released last September.

Interestingly, Apple’s letter is signed by Steven Kenner — the company’s head of product integrity who up until recently was the global director of automotive safety at Ford.

“Apple agrees that companies should share de-identified scenario and dynamics data from crashes and near-misses. By sharing data, the industry will build a more comprehensive dataset than any one company could create alone,” Kenner’s letter was quoted as saying.

Recently reports surfaced suggesting that the company is not attempting to build its own electric car but is focused on developing self-driving software it can deploy in partnership with existing carmakers.

“This letter comes amid news that hundreds of members of Apple’s 1,000-employee-strong car team have been reassigned, let go, or have left of their own volition,” the report pointed out.

In October, Uber ordered 100 self-driving vehicles from the Swedish company Volvo.

The news came after an 18-wheeler self-driving Volvo trailer drove from Fort Collins, Colorado, to Colorado Springs, bearing 50,000 cans of Budweiser beer.

The Volvo truck, equipped with cameras and sensors, was owned by Otto, a self-driving truck company acquired by Uber earlier this year.

Star Wars Rebels S03E09: An Inside Man review

A still from Star Wars Rebels: The Inside Man (Photo: www.starwars.com)

Series: Star Wars Rebels

Cast: Taylor Gray, Lars Mikkelsen, Freddie Prince Jr, David Oyelowo, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Over the course of three seasons, Star Wars Rebels (SWR) has built up an impressive fan following. Well, as the audience has matured, so have their demands.

The third season began on a great note, with Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) evoking fear and respect each time his cold imperial presence came onscreen.

However, the episodes lacking him have felt very flat and very much been there done that. Successfully defying the Empire time and time again becomes blasé after a point of time.

Perhaps, the creators felt it themselves and in The Inside Job give a heady cocktail of brilliant writing along with the menace of Thrawn present throughout.

In a stunning revelation, Fulcrum’s identity is revealed to Kanan and Ezra, who are in a fine mess at the Imperial Factory on Lothal. However, the spy could be a double or even triple agent, and Thrawn has an interesting plan to counter this piece of information, which makes the wait for next week’s episode almost unbearable.

The Blue-skinned Imperial is renowned for his ruthlessness, yet somehow manages to enhance his alread legendary reputation with an impressive investigation of saboteurs in Empire’s factory. His ability to remain calm amidst the chaos that ensues every time he runs in with the Rebels is admirable despite his overall sinister nature.

Finally, the right notes have been hit and as we near the season finale, there is an underlying tension which is growing, making one fear about the fate of the beloved Ghost crew. And this feeling of uncertainty has brought back the spark to SWR in the nick of time.

First polluted river in the world discovered

(Photo: Getty Images)

Scientists have discovered what could be the world’s first polluted river, contaminated about 7,000 years ago by Neolithic humans who may have been producing copper metals from ores.

In the now-dry riverbed in the Wadi Faynan region of southern Jordan, Professor Russell Adams from the University of Waterloo in Canada, and colleagues found evidence of early pollution caused by the combustion of copper.

The findings shed light on a turning point in history, when humans began moving from making tools out of stones to making tools out of metal.

This period, known as the Chalcolithic or Copper Age, is a transitional period between the late Neolithic or Stone Age and the beginning of the Bronze Age.

“These populations were experimenting with fire, experimenting with pottery and experimenting with copper ores, and all three of these components are part of the early production of copper metals from ores,” said Adams.

“The technological innovation and the spread of the adoption and use of metals in society mark the beginning of the modern world,” he said.

People created copper at this time by combining charcoal and the blue-green copper ore found in abundance in the area in pottery vessels and heating the mixture over a fire.

The process was time-consuming and labour-intensive and, for this reason, it took thousands of years before copper became a central part of human societies.

Many of the objects created in the earliest phase of copper production were primarily symbolic and fulfilled a social function within society. Attaining rare and exotic items was a way in which individuals attained prestige.

As time passed, communities in the region grew larger and copper production expanded. People built mines, then large smelting furnaces and factories by about 2600 BC.

“This region is home to the world’s first industrial revolution. This really was the centre of innovative technology,” said Adams.

However, people paid a heavy price for the increased metal production. Slag, the waste product of smelting, remained.

It contained metals such as copper, lead, zinc, cadmium, and even arsenic, mercury and thalium. Plants absorbed these metals, people and animals such as goats and sheep ate them, and so the contaminants bioaccumulated in the environment.

Adams believes the pollution from thousands of years of copper mining and production must have led to widespread health problems in ancient populations.

Infertility, malformations and premature death would have been some of the effects. Researchers have found high levels of copper and lead in human bones dating back to the Roman period.

Researchers are now trying to expand the analysis of the effects of this pollution to the Bronze Age, which began around 3200 BC.

Demonetisation: Micro-ATMs, POS asked to guard against cyber attacks

Representational Image (Photo: Getty Images)

With the usage of micro-ATMs and POS counters witnessing a sharp surge post demonetisation, the country’s premier cyber security agency CERT-In has cautioned customers, bankers and traders against skimming and malware attacks on these systems and asked them to adopt high-end encryption to plug possible breaches.

The CERT-In, nodal agency to combat hacking, phishing attacks and to fortify security-related defences of the Indian Internet domain, has issued two specific advisories for micro-Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Point of Sale (POS) terminals.

The advisory states that as micro-ATMs work with minimal power and connect to central banking servers through a GPRS network, their security features need to be strong and updated to check attempts by hackers who stealthily plan to steal private customer and bank data which leads to loss of their hard earned money by way of hacking or electronic stealing.

“Traditionally, data input into the POS system is in memory in clear text which allows attackers, memory scrapers to be very successful.

“The way to minimise this risk is by encrypting the card data as soon as possible and keeping it encrypted to the maximum extent throughout its life within the system. Point to Point Encryption (P2PE) could be used to address the issue of encrypting data in memory,” the advisory, accessed by PTI, said.

It explains that skimming is the theft of classified credit/debit card data.

“A thief can obtain the victim’s credit card number using a small electronic device near the card acceptance slot and store hundreds of victims’ credit card numbers,” it said.

A social engineering attack can be engineered at these facilities, it added, by gaining trust of the owner as the fraudster poses as a member of staff.

“The fraudster would then ask the customer to check the card for damages. The fraudster would have gained confidence from his prey using various tactics such as offering assistance to the customer who perhaps would have tried to use the ATM without success or perhaps the customer who is not familiar with use of micro ATM machine and requires assistance,” it said.

A micro ATM enables the un-banked rural population to access banking services in their villages or towns in a convenient manner and it offers facilities of deposit, withdrawal, funds transfer, balance enquiry and issuance of mini-statement.

The agency has asked the banks and micro ATM operators to exercise some counter-measures to thwart such attacks.

“The micro ATM must not transmit any confidential data unencrypted on the network; it must automatically log out the operator and lock itself after a period of inactivity; keep all the micro ATM software, application, anti-virus regularly updated and educate the customer about basic functionalities and security best practises,” the advisory by Computer Emergency Response Team-India (CERT-In) said.

Actors don’t have friends: Karan Johar

(Photo: AFP)

Filmmaker Karan Johar feels people from the movie industry are “lost” with the kind of expectations they carry.

Johar says since there is “so much else” actors have to deal with, that they usually end up having temporary friendships instead of long standing ones.

“Movie people just don't have friends. They have so much else to deal with. I find that about film actors particularly, that they don't have friends. They don't have a lot of friendships and the ones they have, they are actually seasonal.

“They go from film to film. I've been a friend who has been a seasonal friend, I've also made some seasonal friends.

I do know what that feels like.”

The “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” director says he doesn't know that due to this film stars are lonely but feels they are definitely lost.

“Everyone's lost in the film industry. Everyday you are combating expectations, success is always expected of you, there is so much baggage that you carry. There is daily reportage of what you wear, say, or don't say,” he said.

The 44-year-old filmmaker says many industry people are just not equipped to carry a relationship.

“I think many of us are unequipped to handle our relationships because of who we are. Sometimes it is because of our intense megalomania, sometimes because we are delusional…,” he said.

Johar hopes one change within the industry should be “the ability to nurture our friendships. We just do not know how to make friends,” he said.

“It is not impossible. Every relationship is difficult. It takes working on (it) and I feel a lot of people from within the industry don't do that because it's all about themselves.

“You cannot make life about yourself. It has to be about the people who surround you, or else you're going to be irrelevant very soon,” he added.

Johar was speaking at the Times LitFest yesterday.

This flexible heart patch does not need stitches

(Photo: Getty Images)

Researchers have developed a new polymer patch that can be stuck onto the heart without the need for stitches to improve the conduction of electrical impulses across heart tissue damaged during a heart attack.

Heart attacks create a scar, which slows and disrupts the conduction of electrical impulses across the heart.

“This leads to potentially fatal disturbances of the heart rhythm. Our electrically conducting polymer patch is designed to address this serious problem,” said Sian Harding, Professor at Imperial College London.

The new stitch-less patch is stable and retains conductivity in physiological conditions for more than two weeks, compared with the usual one day of other designs.

“No stitches are required to attach it, so it is minimally invasive and less damaging to the heart, and it moves more closely with the heart’s motion,” said lead Damia Mawad at University of New South Wales in Sydney.

The patch is made to adhere to the heart tissue by shining a green laser on it.

The team tested the patch by implanting it into rats. They found it improved the conduction of electrical impulses across the heart scar tissue.

“We envisage heart attack patients eventually having patches attached as a bridge between the healthy and the scar tissue, to help prevent cardiac arrhythmia,” Mawad said.

“The patch can help us better understand how conductive materials interact with heart tissue and influence the electrical conduction in the heart, as well as better understand the physiological changes associated with heart attacks,” explained Molly Stevens, Professor at Imperial College London.

The research was published in the journal Science Advances.

Limiting children’s choice of toys can fuel stereotypes

(Photo: Getty Images)

While buying toys, parents and grandparents should consider the child's interests, not their gender because limiting choice of toys according to gender can fuel stereotypes, suggests new research.

Clues to the continued dominance of men in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields and the reason nurturing often comes more easily to women can be found in the children's toy department, said sociologist Elizabeth Sweet from California State University, Sacramento, US.

“When we wall off the toys that develop spatial skills or are devoted to science and say, 'These are only for boys,' and we wall off the toys that develop empathy and verbal skills and say, 'These are only for girls,' it severely limits how children develop,” Sweet said in a university statement.

“If kids aren't exposed to the kinds of toys and play that help them develop those skills, they may not be as good at them over time. But even more insidious is that it reinforces the stereotype that boys are good at science and math, and girls are not. It pushes women and girls out of that field, because they think it's not for them,” she explained.

Sweet believes that making STEM toys pink, as proposed by some toy manufacturers, would not help much.

“I think that's the wrong approach,” Sweet said.

“I think that plays up the stereotype that girls are so different that they need a special kind of STEM toys,” noted.

“Research shows that different kinds of toys help children to develop different kinds of skills,” she said.

“For instance, building blocks are great for building spatial skills. Playing with dolls is really good for developing language skills and nurturing abilities. All of those skills are essential for a fully functioning human,” Sweet pointed out.
