A shoe was thrown at BJP MP GVL Narasimha Rao at the party’s headquarters in New Delhi on Thursday.
Rao and BJP leaders Bhupendra Yadav were holding a press briefing when the incident took place.
The man who threw the shoe was seen being taken out of the room by security guards soon after.
It is not clear why the person, who identified himself as a doctor by profession, threw the shoes. He will be handed over to police, PTI reported.
Rao’s press briefing was on the induction of Malegaon blast accused Sadhvi Pragya into the party. BJP is fielding Pragya from Bhopal where she will be up against Congress’ Digvijaya Singh.
At the time of the incident, Rao was attacking the Congress for defaming Hindus by foisting “false cases” on Hindutva activists, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur.

Here's the lowdown on how your credit score is calculated. LIGHTKITEGIRL VIA GETTY IMAGES With so many rules to follow and  myths to debunk , credit scores can be pretty mystifying. Even so, having good credit is essential for everything from borrowing money to finding a place to live. It pays to know how your  credit score  works. That means understanding what  doesn’t  affect your score just as much as what does. And you might be surprised by what that includes. How credit scores are calculated Before we get into what doesn’t impact your credit score, it’s helpful to review factors that do go into the calculation. You actually have dozens of credit scores, but the one most commonly used by lenders is your  FICO credit score : Payment history (35 percent):  The most important factor in calculating your credit score is your payment history.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Review: The Best Hardware In The Segment

-
Image
Despite challenges from Asus and Samsung, Xiaomi maintains its lead in terms of price versus performance, but its software woes won’t go away. How do you top an already stupendously successful product such as last year’s  Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro ? With  Samsung’s  new  Galaxy M10 and M20 , and  Asus’s  budget-friendly  ZenFone Max Pro M2  snapping at their heels, the boffins at  Xiaomi  seemingly went back to the drawing board and the result is the Redmi Note 7 Pro – a refreshed package that steps up the game in almost every discernible department. Performance, design and photography see big gains without rocking the boat on the pricing front, and the software letdowns are unlikely to come in the way of consumers throwing their wallets at Xiaomi’s latest. It is, hands down, the best hardware in the segment. The Redmi Note 7 Pro goes on sale on Wednesday and is available in two variants — a 4GB+64GB option (Rs 13,999) and a...

HOW HAVING “LESS” CAN MAKE YOU HAPPIER

Being happy with “less” is a topic I’m really passionate about. So many people measure success based on money or materialistic things. I measure success based on happiness. Recently, I received an email from a guy named Derek – he’s been following my content for a while, and he sent me a very moving email about how he found happiness by selling his house, car, garage sailing, and following some of the advice I’ve been talking about for the past few years. I get so many of these moving, emotional emails in my inbox every single day, and I want to share more of them with you guys. Here’s Vijay’s: Hey Gary, I know you probably get a 100 of these emails a day and may never even read this, but I just wanted to share my story and what your advice had done for my life. I live in western Canada where my life basically consisted of life on the road in the middle of nowhere in the Alberta oilfield working as an electrician being the most miserable piece of shit ever. In Oct...

This Killer Feature Of The Apple Watch Could Save Your Life

-
Image
Apple Watch's High Heart Rate Notification feature alerted me to go to the doctor before I had a serious attack. It started with an insistent tap on my wrist. I thought it was one of the many notifications that I get from my mail, messaging or social networks on my Apple Watch. I let it pass and continued working. After a few minutes, it was repeated. This time I looked at the watch and realised that this was no notification about a message or a comment on Facebook. It was my Apple Watch telling me that my heart rate had been on the higher side, and that as I had not been moving too much, it was warning me about unnatural heart activity. This was the second time it had done so in a year. Like most Indians, I never thought to get a regular medical check-up, but having this warning flash in front of me a second time made me think I should consult a doctor. Thankfully, it was nothing very serious, but I learned that my heart rate was higher than it should be, and so have to ...

Sulekha's 'Auto Login' Put Advertisers' Data—And Their Wallets—At Risk

-

A 'convenience feature' on popular classified's platform Sulekha compromised the security of all advertisers' data. JALANDHAR, Punjab — Online classified ads company Sulekha’s ‘convenience’ feature, which allowed millions of customers to auto-login into their accounts, enabled a glaring  security  flaw which may have put user data and the money in their linked prepaid wallets at risk. The company removed the option immediately after  HuffPost India  alerted it on March 13 this year. More than 5.5 lakh businesses have registered accounts with Sulekha to advertise their services to customers, and many of these have linked prepaid wallets containing lakhs of rupees to their accounts to ease their transaction speed. When a user searches for a product on Sulekha, advertisers belonging to the category get an SMS alert with a seven-character alpha-numeric code. On entering this code into the Sulekha website automatically logs the user into their account. ...

7 IMPORTANT IDEAS FOR FIRST TIME MANAGERS IN 2019

-
Image
Many first time managers face significant challenges as they go from a place as someone who “executes” to someone who’s responsible for a team. Here are some tips to remember if you’re transitioning to a management role for the first time: 1. UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WORK FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES, THEY DON’T WORK FOR YOU This one is hard for a lot of leaders to understand. Most new managers think that becoming a manager is the “graduation.” Truth is, it’s the reverse. Leaders work for their employees. That means you have to understand what your employees want at a deep level. You have to be constantly adapting to their needs and what they want from the organization. For example, one of my employees might want higher pay when he’s 24. But maybe he falls in love at 28 and decides he wants to spend more time with his family. Another might be more interested in a fancy title. Another might want to get access to me and build a relationship. Another might want to go to one of our ...

With an increase in data collected from devices, the consumers should be able to gain maximum value from their digital footprint. UNDEFINED UNDEFINED VIA GETTY IMAGES Big data metaphors are overused clichés of the 21st century. Big data is either  new gold ,  new oil  or some valuable asset which is limited to the tangible nature of the metaphors and the industry seeking to define it. However,  do you always receive tangible value from the data left behind for companies based on your active or passive digital footprint? By 2025, the average data consumer will have at least one  digital data engagement  every 18 seconds, which translates into almost 4,900 interactions per day. In the course of these  interactions, the data consumer also grants additional ‘free’ access to their digital footprint, which is further analyzed, by companies, to supply the consumer with personalized experiences. It is therefore, crucial for the consumer to unde...

For Mohammad Akhlaq's son, the 2019 general election is not just an exercise in universal adult franchise. NEW DELHI — Danish and his father, Mohammad Akhlaq, threw themselves against the door, but it was of no use. There was no bolt on the inside. A Hindu mob armed with rods and hockey sticks burst into the small room on the top floor of their house. Danish felt the blows raining down on him. He fell flat on his back and covered his face with his hands. He could not see his father, but sensed that he too was writhing in pain, close by. Then, a sharp pain ripped through his left arm, forcing him to drop his hand. Seconds later, a heavy stick came barreling towards his eye. He passed out. “There was no time to say anything to them. I was thinking how can I save my face. I was thinking how can I stay alive,” Danish said in a recent conversation with  HuffPost India . On 28 September, 2015, a mob alleging cow slaughter lynched Akhlaq, an ironsmith fro...
