The Reality of Beating Yourself Up, Jillian-Style
Weight loss by criticism is more than TV reality, it's the American way. If you want your body to be all that it can be, you can enlist a relentless trainer or do the job yourself. After all, you are your own worst critic. Here's the problem with berating yourself thin: It only gets you so far.

You don't have to be a fan of the The Biggest Loser to believe that punishing criticism is a great way to slim down and shape up. On the tele-battle of the bulge, harsh words are not only expected, they're almost welcomed. The reality weight-loss show makes it look like a good berating is for contestants' own good. This season, which finishes up March 18, compassion is for kids, not adults.
Weight loss by criticism is more than TV reality, it's the American way. If you want your body to be all that it can be, you can enlist a relentless trainer or do the job yourself. After all, you are your own worst critic.
In this self-critical mindset, you follow your marching orders no matter what. If you're starving, stick to the tasteless rations. If you're exhausted, keep moving. No pain, no gain. Like Biggest Loser contestants, you're not too concerned that your regimen is unsustainable. What matters most is getting down to size ASAP. Once you reach your goal, you'll find a more sustainable way to go.
Here's the problem with berating yourself thin: It only gets you so far. While focusing on your physical imperfections may initially motivate you to eat less and exercise more, it eventually has the opposite effect. Self-criticism turns out to be a better recipe for incremental weight gain than lasting weight loss.
Interviewing one of the Biggest Losers of all time, Ashley Johnston, I learned about the pervasive self-criticism that plagues past contestants, setting up too many to regain what they worked so hard to lose. Last I spoke with Ashley, she had just regained 20 of the 183 pounds she lost season nine.
"Body image is a huge and hidden issue with past contestants," she said. "Once we go home from the show, it's a real struggle. My body image improved drastically after [losing all that weight], but the self-beat up never went away. I have never been happy with my body."
The one time I interviewed Jillian Michaels, five minutes was all I needed to remember why I've never been a fan of punishing plans. Not only are they unsustainable, they can be dangerous, and they don't work. Jillian didn't want to discuss the risks of her regimen, but she did say it would make me puke.
"Everyone I train throws up," she told me on her last book tour. (The best-selling author is now promoting a new book, Slim for Life.) "Unless you're an athlete, you'll throw up if you haven't worked out in years. Whether you're a soccer mom or a contestant on The Biggest Loser, you'll only throw up the first week."
Personally, I strongly recommend taking it easier. If you've read anything I've written since my book, The Self-Compassion Diet, hit bookstore shelves two winters ago, you already know my best recommendation: self-compassion.
If you can't imagine how treating yourself kindly could help you slim down once and for all, consider this evidence-based conclusion: When you feed yourself a steady diet of self-compassion, when you treat yourself like a friend or a loved one, you're more apt to eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full, rest when you're tired and move when you feel energized. When you do that, you'll lose weight naturally.
Unless self-compassion has transformed the way you look and feel, you undoubtedly have doubts. Seeing is definitely believing. So see for yourself. Watch this six-minute video every day for at least a week and discover what researchers have discovered -- a little self-compassion goes a long way toward ending emotional eating and bad body image.
Craving more evidence? Stick with me and find out how going easier on yourself is for your own good.

It seems like we are saying this every week but this is a crucial match for Newcastle United.
This six match winning run is incredible and if it stretches to seven against Wigan, it will equal our previous best in the Premier League.
Maybe Wigan sum up the strengths and weaknesses of English football, a team that looked dead and buried a couple of months ago and then in their last six matches, playing really good football, they have beaten Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and should have won at Chelsea.
Tricky opponents but no team is in better form than United, six in six at this stage of the season is beyond any realistic dreams.
Statistics are only one part of the jigsaw but 3 wins and only 15 goals at home all season tells you why they are battling relegation. At the other end they have improved immeasurably in recent times, conceding 12 in the last 12 premier league games, having leaked 48 in the opening 23 matches.
One time Newcastle target, Victor Moses, looks an exciting prospect and United are rumoured to be considering a bid once again, but the truth is that they just don't score enough with their top scorer on a shocking five goals.
Newcastle broke the spell cast by five successive defeats at the DW Stadium on our last visit, plus a major tormentor of those times is now in black & white , Ryan Taylor having scored four goals against United while at Wigan.
With Cisse scoring freely & the likes of Ba/Ben Arfa also looking the part, as well as a defence now having gone 398 minutes without conceding, why wouldn't you be feeling confident?
Cabaye is currently on top form and rates as our most creative (1.6 chances created per match) AND most effective at tackling (making 3.4 successful tackles on average per match), even ahead of Cheick Tiote who returned against Stoke.
Alan Pardew will have drilled into the team not to be complacent, after that we only need a normal run of luck.
Exciting times and not a single player who isn't earning his money on the pitch. Enjoy.
In the betting stakes we have hooked up with ***Betfair. Many of you will have 'normal' betting accounts with the various bookies but what Betfair have to offer is something very different, though the most important thing is that the prices you get are better than anywhere else almost every time!
Last time we suggested Newcastle to beat Stoke 3-0 and if you'd backed with Betfair you could have got 16-1, much better than any other online bookmaker.
At the time of putting this together the prices on offer for our recommended bets are Newcastle to win 3-0 (33-1), Newcastle to keep a clean sheet (just over 5-2) and Hatem Ben Arfa to score the first goal (11-1), once again all prices better than any other online bookmaker.
Betfair are offering all Newcastle fans a £25 free bet or alternatively a £20 free bet and up to a maximum of £1000 cash back depending on your betting, so click here to sign up for their great offer.
If you already have a Betfair account or just want to check out what we are saying is true, go direct to the Wigan v Newcastle match odds here.
***Betfairoffer you the chance to place bets on your fancied wagers or take (lay) other people's bets, it may sound a bit more complicated but in reality it is very easy and no more difficult than using other betting websites. The big difference is the bigger prices, giving you more chance of coming out on top.

Michael B Jordan Spends Thanksgiving with Girlfriend Lori's Family after Finally Getting Her Stepdad Steve Harvey's Approval
By Esther NJeri
https://news.amomama.com/283466-michael-b-jordan-spends-thanksgiving-gir.html
This year's holidays are a happy time for "Black Panther" actor Michael. B. Jordan, as he got to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with his girlfriend, Lori's family, after her father finally approved of him.
Michael. B. Jordan is well known for his roles as Donnie in "Creed" and Oscar Grant in the drama "Fruitvale Station." Named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2020, Jordan is notorious for keeping his love life private.
But since he started dating model Lori Harvey, the famous TV Show host, Steve Harvey's daughter, he has been more forthcoming with details about his relationship.

This Thanksgiving season, Jordan joined the Harvey family in celebrating the holiday where they shared the traditional turkey dish, spaghetti with meatballs, bread pudding, baked macaroni and cheese, and a plethora of pies.
The lovebirds celebrated their first-anniversary last week, with a special dinner date. Initially, they kept their romance a secret, and even though they started dating in November, they only confirmed their relationship in January.

GETTING HARVEY'S APPROVAL
TV show host Steve Harvey opened up about his daughter's relationship, saying that he is proud of her partner choice, adding that he is happy with who she was dating for the first time.
He also quickly added that it is the first time Lori is undeniably happy in her relationship. The "Family Feud" host says he'd been trying not to like Jordan, even looking for fault in him, but he found nothing.
He says he got rid of Lori's previous boyfriends, some of whom stayed longer than he would have liked, but Jordan won his seal of approval fair and square because, as Harvey puts it, he is a good guy.
Speaking on the Ellen Degeneres Show, ETonline reports Harvey to have heaped praises on the "Just Mercy" actor, saying:
"He is one of the nicest guys. I met his father. I've sat up with him. We've talked for hours. I just can't find nothing wrong with him."
The father of seven hopes his daughter's relationship lasts, contrary to his stand on Lori's previous relationships, which, according to him, did not end fast enough.

Despite his acceptance of his daughter's new love interest, it wasn't easy from the beginning. When Harvey first learned of their relationship, he was unsure if Jordan was only playing games.
Aware of how hard maintaining a relationship is in Hollywood, he was genuinely worried for his daughter. Still, Jordan proved himself to be the unique person he is, both inside and out, earning Harvey's trust and approval.

Get A Look At The "Make Ready" For Star Wars Galaxy's Edge #1
Carlos Muñoz
Make Ready Lads!
Having been a Naval Officer for a career of 24 years, when I hear the term "Make Ready" many thoughts and memories come to mind as sailors hurried about getting the ship ready to get underway. But this week, I learned that a "Make-Ready" is also a term used in the comic business.
According to Ryan Penagos, Vice-President and Creative Executive at Marvel, a make-ready is not so much a mock-up, but a full version of the final comic from the printer, just with the color guides and no staples.
Pictured is the make-ready for the April 24th release of Galaxy's Edge #1.
So heave those lines, batten down the hatches, host the sails, and make-ready for the next Star Wars comic mini-series.

Windsor cop found guilty of assault (with videos)
The Windsor police officer who was caught on camera punching and kicking a man lying on a floor has been found guilty. The court has determined Const. Kent Rice committed assault in a Feb. 22, 2012 incident that was captured on surveillance video.

The Windsor police officer who was
A frame from the surveillance video recording of Feb. 22, 2012.
A judge ruled on Friday that 41-year-old Const. Kent Rice committed one count of assault in an incident that happened during the early morning hours of Feb. 22, 2012, in a low-income housing building at 1101 McDougall St.
A surveillance video camera recorded Rice delivering one hand strike and two kicks to Gladson Chinyangwa, then 20, as Chinyangwa writhed on the stairwell floor.
"In my view, Const. Rice used excessive force when he kicked (Chinyangwa) twice," said Justice Donald Downie in his verdict.
Downie said he accepted Rice's explanation that the hand strike to Chinyangwa's chin may have been necessary "to ward off a potential spit attack."
Downie said he could also accept that the push — not on video — which resulted in Chinyangwa falling to the floor may have been a "reflexive move," and that Rice may have felt Chinyangwa tense up as if readying to hit Rice.
But the judge said the two kicks seen in the video could not be rationalized. He said Chinyangwa was "obviously non-aggressive" at that point.
"It wasn't needed," Downie said.
Downie found it telling that Rice did not mention the second kick in his original notes on the incident.
There were five trial days, including testimony from Rice, three fellow officers, and Chinyangwa.
Downie acknowledged that Chinyangwa had a "somewhat confused" recollection, and that the court heard "varying stories" about what happened on the night in question.
But Downie said the surveillance video "tells its own story" and acted as the "tie-breaker" in the case.

Rice showed no emotion in response to Downie's verdict, but members of his family could be heard murmuring in the courtroom.
The 14-year veteran officer later left the courthouse with his wife and declined to comment.
His sentence hearing is scheduled for Sept. 24.
While arranging the next court date, the judge pointed out that Rice has been suspended with pay since June 6, 2012. "The taxpayers need a break," Downie told the court.
"This has got to get finished."
Defence attorney Andrew Bradie, counsel to Const. Kent Rice, speaks to media outside court on Aug. 30, 2013. (Dan Janisse / The Windsor Star)
Outside the court building, Rice's lawyer
Andrew Bradie
said the verdict was disappointing — but not shocking.
"I concede that, from the outset, the video was troublesome," Bradie said. "The question is: To what extent was that video one small piece of a larger puzzle?"
Asked if he will appeal the verdict, Bradie said it's too early to comment: He intends to reflect on the judge's reasoning.
But Bradie ventured that he will be asking for a conditional discharge — a sentence which acknowledges guilt, but does not result in a criminal conviction.
Bradie said his client's career record shows Rice has been "a good officer."
He pointed out that the two kicks "did not cause any injury" and "were not debilitating in any fashion."
Asked if he regrets putting Rice on the stand for the last day of testimony, Bradie said no. "The video required an explanation. I think giving no explanation whatsoever would have left us in a more difficult position."
Crown prosecutor David Foulds speaks to media on Aug. 30, 2013. (Dan Janisse / The Windsor Star)
Meanwhile, assistant Crown attorney
David Foulds
expressed satisfaction that the judge agreed with him the video "speaks for itself."
"The two kicks were excessive. I think that's exactly right," Foulds told reporters.
Regarding the significance of the video evidence, Foulds said the prosecution would not have succeeded without it.
"It would have been difficult for me to ask for a conviction (without the video)," he said. "The video was critically important."
Foulds said he is awaiting materials from Bradie, but he doubts the Crown and the defence will be able to agree on a joint sentencing submission.
He balked at mention of a possible conditional discharge. "At the least, I would be asking for a conviction."
Asked what the finding of guilt could mean to Rice's career, Foulds said such matters will be dealt with by the Windsor Police Service through disciplinary hearings under the Police Act.
According to Jason DeJong, president of the
Windsor Police Association
, there are officers who have remained with the force after being on the receiving end of guilty verdicts.
Chief Al Frederick addresses media at Windsor police HQ on Aug. 30, 2013. (Dan Janisse / The Windsor Star)
Windsor police headquarters
, Chief Al Frederick said he was "deeply disappointed" by Rice's actions.
But Frederick praised WPS members for their "immediate and decisive" response to the case.
"Const. Rice's actions were investigated by the WPS major crimes branch, who arrested and charged him within hours of the allegations coming to light," the chief said.
Rice now faces three charges under the
: two counts of discreditable conduct, and one count of excessive use of force.
Hearings on those charges were postponed until the resolution of the criminal case.
The next Police Act hearing was tentatively set for Sept. 18, but Frederick said that will have to be rescheduled until after the sentencing.
Frederick wouldn't talk about the potential penalties for Rice under the Police Act.
"I would respect the outcome of the tribunal before making a comment," the chief said. "We have to respect the process."

Although the incident happened in Feb. 2012, Rice wasn't charged criminally until months afterward — in June 2012, when the surveillance video was first seen by the public.
The trial revealed that the video was brought to the attention of
Windsor Residence Inc.
, the non-profit housing organization that owns and operates 1101 McDougall St.
A member of the organization's board of directors leaked the video to the media.

McCoist and his players were under real pressure after the Euro defeat in Maribor and with 10 key stars crocked, suspended or suffering visa problems it was a makeshift team which took on the Steelmen. However, Rangers were able to weather a storm and eventually cruise home, giving McCoist plenty of reasons to be cheerful after a trying week during which his own role was starting to be questioned.
He said: "Before the game there were questions being asked of our players, the management team, everybody at the club. It's only one game, so let's not get carried away – but we answered some questions.
It's only one game, so let's not get carried away – but we answered some questions.
Rangers can now approach the Euro return leg against Maribor with renewed optimism.
McCoist added: "It's a real boost ahead of Thursday because, while there wasn't a massive problem with goal scoring, we now know we can go and score goals. The quality of some of the finishing was tremendous.
McCoist admitted he changed his starting side four times in the morning before the game with a dozen first-team players unavailable.
Jordan McMillan and Ross Perry started in defence while Naismith was in central midfield.
But McCoist was thrilled at the performance and added: "I was up early this morning, went through four or five different teams, spoke to Kenny [McDowall] before eight o'clock, changed it three or four times as you do.
"I got to Ibrox and changed it again. But I was always focused, always determined – and thankfully my team were today.
"I am delighted with individual performances but the over-riding feeling is pride in the team performance.
Motherwell gaffer Stuart McCall was gutted his players didn't provide more of a goal threat.
He said: "When you play against an Old Firm side you have to get the first goal.
"We didn't and then to lose a goal at a set-piece is disappointing.
"The second goal for them – right on half-time – was the killer for us.
Motherwell did have the ball in the net with Rangers leading 1-0 – but it was chalked off for Jamie Murphy's handball and McCall had no real complaints.

Henry Hornbostel: An Architect's Master Touch
Henry Hornbostel: An Architect's Master Touch quantity
Walter C. Kidney
Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation, 2002
"Hornbostel's mind," a critic wrote, "is at once daring and inventive, and he never hesitates about executing work because it has no precedent. He leads the way where others follow…" This 1909 critique celebrated Henry Hornbostel's use of iron, steel, and tile on buildings in Pittsburgh and on bridges in New York City. Henry Hornbostel: An Architect's Master Touch is the first book about this 20th-century American architectural master. Hornbostel designed more than 225 buildings, bridges, and monuments nationwide, in cities such as Albany and New York, New York; Hartford, Connecticut; Atlanta, Georgia; Evanston, Illinois; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Oakland and Santa Barbara, California. His brilliance, however, is especially evident in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A lavishly illustrated overview of Hornbostel's work throughout the United States is followed by a detailed exploration of some 50 projects in Pittsburgh. A "List of Works," a map of Pittsburgh sites, and a bibliography are included.

American Workers Lose As Republican Swamp Keeps Steve Moore Off The Fed
Thomas McArdle
Left-leaning critics of the Federal Reserve, in particular Big Labor, have a colorful metaphor for the central bank's oversized power over our economy.
You're at a great party. The partygoers are having the time of their lives, but some are throwing back a few too many and it's getting out of hand. So the host has to take away the punchbowl!
Removing the booze when the economy gets too happy is a thankless job, but somebody has to do it, and that somebody is the Fed. Otherwise people might get hurt, the victims of "irrational exuberance," to use Alan Greenspan's infamous phrase, which instantly sent global markets on a downward course amidst the 1990s tech boom.
What's so disgraceful about more-reliable-than-not Republican senators like Lindsey Graham and Joni Ernst knocking growth champion Steve Moore out of contention for a seat on the Federal Reserve is that Moore knows the punchbowl is a phony analogy.
Like others in the supply-side movement that came to prominence designing Ronald Reagan's tax cuts, Moore knows that an economy growing at optimum speed does not cause inflation. And he would have been the first Fed governor ever who unapologetically refused to raise short-term interest rates for the express purpose of slowing down an "overheating" economy. He wouldn't take part in killing Americans' jobs for fear of an inflation ghost that the evidence says doesn't really exist.
He also understands that money supply and interest rates are not the federal government's playthings, which is why Moore has emphasized the importance of looking to the real world indicator of gold and other commodities for guidance, and has even wondered – like free-market Nobel laureate Milton Friedman – if the Fed should even exist in its present form.
Elite Bureaucratic Power
The Federal Reserve is adept at using the complexity of money and banking to defend itself from attack and reform. It's a quintessential example of elite Washington bureaucracy maintaining power by convincing the people that taking it away from the experts would mean the end of the world. The iconoclastic Moore wasn't welcome in that inner sanctum.
Republican senators like Rob Portman of Ohio, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, and frequent thorn-in-conservatives'-side Susan Collins of Maine, who signaled misgivings about Moore's nomination, should go back home and undergo town hall hell for opposing Moore. There are constituents in their states, Graham's South Carolina and Ernst's Iowa, who will lose out on good jobs because they kept a man whose priority was job creation off the board of the central bank.
As everyone who's dealt with him over his long career going back to the 1980s knows, Moore is one of the most cheerful, optimistic, high-energy souls in Washington. The unearthed humorous comments he made about women, or the Midwest (from which he comes), are mud dug up and slung at him to keep an enemy of anti-free market big government off a powerful agency where he would have effectively opposed those destructive forces.
An Absurd Smear
And a distasteful irony is that at a time when Democrats breathlessly accuse Republicans of xenophobia and racism, they shun a man who 30 years ago, with economist and Ultimate Resource author Julian Simon, established the American Immigration Institute. That organization's core purpose was to raise awareness about how immigrants – of all races, places of origin and economic condition – help the economy.
In those days, Moore was known for privately suspecting anti-immigration conservative Republicans of racist motives. Yet he is now absurdly smeared as a bigot.
President Trump will find another Fed nominee who champions economic growth – no doubt with help from Moore. And Moore will likely continue to help craft this administration's stunningly successful economic policy, whose tax cuts and reduction in regulations have given America a private sector and a jobs market that are now the envy of the world.
But it won't be the same as having the unafraid Steve Moore inside the Federal Reserve, shaking up perhaps the most insulated and unaccountable government agency in Washington, with the noble purpose of giving Americans as many jobs and as much opportunity as possible.

263k New Jobs: The Trump Economy Continues To Defy the 'Experts'
Why Can't Trump Convince Americans He Kept His Promise to Fix the Economy?
Author Ann Bridges says:
Sad that a good man was tarnished so hatefully. As a fellow mid-westerner who had a chance to meet with Steve a few months ago and get his take on minerals and their potential blockbuster contributions to the economy, I experienced his candor and typical Chicago-area forthrightness as he hit me with questions about the Silicon Valley perspective on so many issues. When tech leaders disrupt the status quo, people cheer. Apparently the same privilege is not given to those who dare challenge the ossified 20th century policies of the Fed. Hopefully just his nomination got people thinking about exactly what role the Fed plays in the boom/bust cycle of our economy. Frankly, I wonder if most of their actions simply justify their existence. Full disclosure: Steve Moore endorsed my latest book, Groundbreaking! America's New Quest for Mineral Independence.
Thomas McArdle @MacArdghail says:
Thanks Ann. Steve doesn't have a bigoted bone in his body, and his whole purpose in his professional life has been to improve people's lives. The fact he can be taken down shows how vicious the champions of ever-expanding government are. Best, TMcA
Thanks for your article. I've shared it with my followers.
James Anthony says:
In an interview in the Washington Examiner, Moore advocated tracking 40 commodities and based on their prices, adjusting the federal funds rate to keep prices constant.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/trump-pick-stephen-moore-lays-out-his-vision-for-the-federal-reserve
If so, then the Fed would be adding its own actions in with all the other changes happening in the economy that affect prices. Keeping prices stable would mean inflating away the entire benefit from improvements in productivity. And doing this through guesswork based on an extraordinarily-limited sample of all prices in the economy; for example, without considering asset prices.
The better alternative would be (1) for the Fed to take no actions to try to control prices or anything else in the economy; (2) for the Fed to, as well as it currently can, freeze the total quantity of money outstanding; and (3) for the Fed to develop a program to eliminate the use of fractional reserves.
If the Fed would take no control actions and freeze the total quantity of money outstanding, this would reduce the number of changes that affect prices and interest rates, and allow these to be determined more directly by changes in productivity, by the various destructive acts of nature and man, and by the distributed-control responses of people in business making use of all available relevant, hyperlocal information.
If the Fed would focus its actions on eliminating the use of fractional reserves, this would eliminate the government's contribution to debt deflation cycles, changing the source of economic cycles. Economic cycles would no longer be driven by large financial manipulations by an unending series of government people who are often misinformed by wrong economic theory, and who at best are trying to learn the same lessons anew with each change in management. Economic cycles would instead become a smaller, dampening series of responses to external events and business planning errors. The cycles would be smaller because money for investment wouldn't be injected by debt; money for investment would have to be earned and saved. The cycles would dampen because people in business would be weeded out more quickly, and the businesses that perform the best would accumulate helpful institutional memories of what worked the best and what is likely to work even better in the future.

Pension Indexation (etk.fi)
National Pensions Index (kela.fi) The table presents the figure point valid on 1 January each year. The comparison to the previous year is rounded to two decimals. TEL index / TEL halfway index
This index under the Employees' Pensions Act is used to revalue the earnings based on which the pension is calculated according to the rules that were in force until 2004. The index is used to adjust the pension that is calculated based on the insured person's earnings or confirmed income from self-employment up to 2004. From 1962 to 1976, the TEL index was linked only to the wage-level index. As of 1977, the TEL half-way index was applied. The halfway index is also used during the transition period after the 2005 pension reform. That is why it is also known as the transitional index. The table presents the point figures of the halfway index until the year 2013, when it was confirmed for the last time. Earnings-related pension index
The earnings-related pension index is used to adjust all earnings-related pensions in payment as of 2005. Before 2005, the index was called the index for persons of retirement age. It separated from the TEL halfway index in 1995, when the point figure of both indexes was 1712. The table does not present the index figures projected in July, which were applied in from 1977 to 1984. Wage coefficient
The wage coefficient is used when calculating the pension to adjust the insured person's wages or self-employed person's confirmed income as of 2005. The value of the index in 2004 was 1.000. National pensions index
The national pensions in payment are adjusted each year by the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela) with the national pensions index (also called the Kela index). The table presents the point figure valid on 1 January each year, although the national pensions index could be adjusted several times each year before 1985.
The National Pensions Index is normally adjusted once a year, but year 2022 an additional adjustment was made for the period 1 August 2022 to 31 December 2022. Symbols used in the table:

I'm tired of people asking me why a love story: Onir on Kuch Bheege Alfaaz
Onir's next is about love in the time of social media...
Nairita Mukherjee Noir_Memoir 14 February 2018, 9:41 PM
All of his films are essentially love stories, believes Onir Image: Twitter
From My Brother…Nikhil to Shab, Onir has always been the raconteur of tales that are issue-driven. So when you see him headlining Kuch Bheege Alfaaz, an outright love story, it feels a bit odd, isn't it?
Well, we may think so, but we're glad we didn't ask Onir the same. "Thank goodness you didn't ask me why did I choose to make a love story like fifty other people I spoke to," Onir let out a sigh of relief after we exchanged pleasantries over a telephonic with the maverick director. "I'm tired of people asking me this. Arrey, haven't all my films have been love stories?" he asks, exasperated.
Kuch Bheege Alfaaz, however, is a bit different from his other films, we probe, but Onir quickly clarifies that instead of looking at it as the story of a boy and a girl, we ought to be looking at it as a story about insecurities. "Social media is essentially a visual medium. Being attractive and liked by someone is determined by how one looks. But here is Archana Pradhan (the female protagonist played by Geetanjali Thapa) who suffers from leucoderma (also known as vitiligo, a skin condition). Is she pretty? Yes. Does she believe that? No," explains Onir.
Love, in the time of social media, is complicated. When you ask the young debutante Zain Khan Durrani, who plays Alfaaz in Kuch Bheege Alfaaz, he will tell you how faster gratification is a blessing. "You can easily connect with the one you love and not wait for a pigeon to deliver your letter," Zain says jokingly.
But it is a double-edged sword, according to Onir. "If social media is just about showing off, one tends to forget who they really are, and in the process, lose themselves. This film tries to explain that only once you love yourself the way you are, do you find true love," he says.
Archana's leucoderma, therefore, is a metaphor for all our insecurities — body issues, language barriers, social standings — and as the film unfolds, one realises that while these issues may not vanish into thin air, they do, as Onir puts it, "become inconsequential eventually".
And isn't this the perfect message to the world slowly being eaten up by the virtual world and all its vices?
Love Sto

Until May 2017, Robert Crumb was simply lauded as the greatest underground artist. Then his cover drawing for the 1969 comic Fritz the Cat sold for a record $ 717,000, the highest price ever realized for any comic, and concepts of under- and aboveground went out the window. Now everything Crumb is fast increasing in value; the perfect time for R. Crumb Sketchbook, Volume 3: Jan. 1975–Dec. 1982.
Combining volumes 5 and 6 from the second R. Crumb Sketchbook boxed set, and produced directly from the original artworks now belonging to an ardent French collector, this is one big 444-page Crumb feast for way less than his rare originals. Among the hundreds of subjects included are Crumb's move to rural California, his marriage to Aline Kominsky, the birth of daughter Sophie, as well as further adventures of Mr. Natural, mischievous Snoids, Arcade comics strips, political discontent, existential angst, huge powerful women, geeky little guys, Mao Tse Tung, Mick Jagger and moral outrage, all wrapped up in a quality hard cover featuring front and back illustrations newly hand-colored by Crumb himself.

Q: linkerd Inject with helm or namespace? I can't seem to find a simple answer to my question,
how to use linkerd inject command / options to add when using helm to install a package, e.g. like postgres?
I have done it with another package but that was by adding the annotation command to a values file and supplying that when running the helm install command.
With istio, all I have to do is to add a label on the namespace and it works?
So I started to look into adding the annotation to the namespaces I am working with, using the kubectl create namespace command?
However, I cant seem to find a way to add any annotation at the point of creating a namespace, unless I use a file.
So, I either need a way to add this annotation to the namespace with the create command or when installing packages with helm?
Thanks,

A: I think there are a couple of ways to do this. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve and how you'd like to manage your underlying infrastructure.
I assume you want to automate the installation of helm charts. If you are going to create the namespace using kubectl create namespace then you might be able to follow that up with kubectl annotate <created-namespace> "linkerd.io/inject=enabled".
Alternatively, you can make use of the Linkerd CLI and use the inject command provided -- the workflow here would involve a combination of kubectl and linkerd commands so I'm not sure it's what you're looking for. Nonetheless, you can do something like kubectl create namespace <my-namespace> -o yaml | linkerd inject - | kubectl apply -f -.
Last but not least, if you can use kubectl create namespace then you might be able to pipe the namespace manifest to kubectl directly and call it a day? You can use something similar to the snippet below:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: foo
  annotations:
    linkerd.io/inject: enabled
EOF

Much of getting what you want in life involves getting what you want from other people.
Do you want a job? You need to convince the other person to give you one.
Do you want a promotion? You need to convince your boss to give you one.
Do you want a higher income? You need to convince someone to pay your fees.
Do you want your ideas taken seriously? You need to convince someone to take your ideas seriously.
In virtually every facet of life, getting what you want involves convincing someone to do something that you want them to do.
Stated differently, getting what you want in life involves learning how to sell your thoughts, ideas, and proposals in everyday situations.
Do you want a job? You need to sell your prospective employer on why hiring you would be a great decision for them.
Do you want a promotion? You need to sell your boss on why her career gets better after she promotes you.
Do you want a higher income? You need to sell others on how paying your fees helps them achieve their goals.
Do you want your ideas taken seriously? You need to sell others on why your ideas benefit them when they take your ideas seriously.
If you read my words carefully, you'll notice a very subtle but profound theme.
The key to getting what you want is to help others get what they want first.
(It's a powerful idea that I first heard from the late Zig Ziglar).
This is the underlying principle and philosophy to the sales approach that I use and teach others.
I love this approach to sales because I love helping other people. I don't feel bad when I help other people. It feels quite good for me.
The key is to help others get what they want in such a way that you get what you want as a byproduct of them getting what they want.
It's a win-win approach to sales, as opposed to the stereotypical win-lose model that's used by many.
If learning to "sell" more effectively in everyday situations is something that would be beneficial to you, just complete the form below to be included when I send emails with articles and resources around this important skill.

Pokémon UNITE Review – Is It A Game Worth Playing?
Who would have thought that Pokémon and MOBA can mix together? Well, that's what The Pokémon Company provided. The new MOBA is titled Pokémon UNITE PC, an action multiplayer where you use and control Pokémon inside the battle arena. But this game is not your typical MOBA game. That's right, there's a slight difference between the gameplay of this Pokémon MOBA compared to other MOBAs.
And that difference is in how you will win the game. In a typical MOBA game, your goal is to destroy the main building inside the enemy's base. But with Pokémon UNITE, there won't be a base to destroy. Instead, you win by scoring more points than your opponent. Points scored will be determined by the aeos energy you acquire after defeating a wild Pokémon.
With that unique gameplay, would it be considered a good game worth playing? Well, let's find out in this Pokémon UNITE review.
The Gameplay of Pokémon UNITE
Before we proceed with the review, let's discuss in more detail the gameplay of Pokémon UNITE. In terms of movement, battle sequence, and skills, you can see that it's a typical MOBA game. And you will feel that it's a Pokémon game since the characters that you'll use would be the Pokémon themselves. In terms of progression, your Pokémon will level up as it gains experience during the battle.
But unlike in a typical MOBA, your Pokémon here will evolve once it reaches a certain level. For example, if you chose Charmander as your Pokémon, you can evolve him after reaching a certain level. First as Charmeleon, then as Charizard once a certain level is reached again.
In terms of skills, you'll start with two active skills and each one could branch out to two more skills and you'll choose one. This provides you with a way to customize your Pokémon's ability. As for winning, you need to score points, and to do that, you first have to defeat wild Pokémon in the arena. Once you defeat them, they'll drop aeos. You pick that up and then dunk it into your opponent's goalpost.
You can carry as many aeos as you can and then score all of them at once. But take note that your opponent can steal the aeos you're carrying by killing you. Once you're defeated, you drop all the aeos you're carrying. Similarly, you can do that to the opponent as well. The team that scores the most points at the end of the timer will win. You can see that this 5v5 MOBA is typical, but also offers a unique gaming experience. Let's now look at the good and the bad about this MOBA.
The Good Things About Pokémon UNITE
Pokémon UNITE is a game that's been anticipated ever since it was teased. Let's now look at what's good about this action MOBA.
Matches Are Quick & Intense
One of the unique things about Pokémon UNITE is that matches are going to be quick and intense. In most MOBA games, your goal is to destroy the main structure in the enemy base. Matches here can end quickly or can take longer, depending on how the players play in the game. With the Pokémon MOBA, matches will only last for 10 minutes. This is the time limit for the matches and this is how long players will have to try and score as many points as they can.
This will result in short and intense matches since every player in the arena will try to score as many points as they can for their team. This is a welcome addition since you don't have to worry about spending a lot of time on a single match. So, the quick but intense matches will provide an exciting and competitive gaming experience.
The Ability To Customize Your Pokémon Skills
Another great thing about Pokémon UNITE is that it allows you to customize the skillset of the Pokémon you're using. As you level up your skills, it will branch out to two more different skills that you can use. You just need to choose which one you'd want your current skill to branch out to. This not only gives you a more powerful skill to use, but you can also set it up in a way that can fit more your play style.
Granted the customization option is not on par with Dota 2. Nevertheless, it's a great feature that you'll definitely enjoy as you play around with it.
Access To Held Items
One other unique feature that Pokémon UNITE offers is the ability to bring in held items during matches. As you play the game for a couple of hours, you'll soon have access to Held item slots and Battle items. These items can be a real game-changer during the battle. It can provide you with added healing when you need it or increase your Pokémon's damage for a certain period.
These items can be purchased using in-game currency that you can also earn as you play. So, you can play around with different items that you can purchase and equip to help you during the battle.
The Bad Things About Pokémon UNITE
Of course, not everything is all good with Pokémon UNITE. There are also other things that the developers can improve on to make the game so much better.
The In-Game Currency Available Can Be Confusing
Pokémon UNITE offers 3 in-game currencies in the game and they're the Aeos gems, Aeos tickets, and Aeos coins. This is not unusual since a lot of MOBA games also have this type of setup. But with this game, what they're used for can be a bit confusing to understand. There's a menu that you can read to help you understand what these currencies do. But even after reading them, you still likely won't understand fully where these currencies are used. This added learning curve can be a bit of an annoyance, especially if you're someone who's used to simple explanations.
The Game is a Bit Pay-to-Win
Another bad thing about Pokémon UNITE is that it is a bit pay-to-win. One of the great things about many MOBA games available is that spending money won't necessarily translate to an advantage. This is because players can only spend mostly on new heroes or new hero skins. So, there's really no advantage for spenders. But with Pokémon UNITE, spenders can have a huge advantage.
As mentioned earlier, this game also features held items that players can equip to their Pokémon before the battle. Unfortunately, these items can be purchased by the in-game currency that players can spend money on. This means that spenders can come into the battle with powerful items, giving them an unfair advantage against free-to-play players. Sure, you can grind the items, but it will take a while to do that. Hopefully, the developers can fix this issue.
Pokémon UNITE Review: Verdict (3.9/5)
Pokémon UNITE is a fun and awesome MOBA game that every player will enjoy playing. It does have some issues that need to be addressed properly to further make the game better for everyone. It's something that's not easy to ignore, which is why we're only giving this game a score of 3.9 out of 5.

Q: Color code issue in grid view rows while sort by click the header in vb.net In grid view by click the button in the form i have load the details from SQL table and based on some column condition colored the rows. When i load grid view the colors are applied perfectly but when i sort the grid view by click the column header the data gets sorted but the colors does not applied correctly based on the condition.

            If oModel.Rows.Item(i).Item("Days") <= 15 Then
                DataGridView1.Rows.Item(i).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.PaleGreen
            ElseIf oModel.Rows.Item(i).Item("Days") >= 16 And oModel.Rows.Item(i).Item("Days") <= 21 Then
                DataGridView1.Rows.Item(i).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow
            ElseIf oModel.Rows.Item(i).Item("Days") > 22 Then
                DataGridView1.Rows.Item(i).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Tomato
                If oModel.Rows.Item(i).Item("InStock") = 0 Then
                    If oModel.Rows.Item(i).Item("Committed") > 0 Then
                        DataGridView1.Rows.Item(i).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.PaleGreen
                    End If
                End If
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

After Sort:

A: I believe the problem you are having is coming from the fact that you are looping thru the "DataSource" rows instead of the DataGridView rows. I may be mistaken about this, however, my understanding is that the "data source" may stay static and not necessarily be sorted when the user clicks on a column header to sort the grid. The "GRID's" rows are sorted… but I am betting that the data sources rows are not reflecting this sort. This explains why the colors never change after the sort because the data source has not changed.
Below are changes to the posted code to loop through the grid instead of the data source when setting the colors. This works fine however, this does bring up a question of what if one of the "Days" values in the grid changes? Example, if the user is allowed to add new rows or change the "Days" values, or the value is changed through some other mechanism, then the posted code will loop through all the rows when a single row value was changed. To help, you could wire up the cell value changed event for the grid and check if the "Days" cell value changed. This will help avoid looping through all the rows when a single value changes.
Lastly, As @AugustoQ's answer suggest, putting the Color_Grid method into the grids Sorted event will work as expected as long as you loop through the grid. That will set the row colors correctly, in addition the cell value changed event is added for cases when the "Days" cell value is changed. Below is an example of what is described above. Hope this helps.

N.B. This page is only a rough draft being elaborated and still very much incomplete.
These suggestions will be realistic objectives for short-term EthoPlasìn lobbying purposes.
They are based partially on the non-official suggestions of the series called Hot Issues, as formulated freely by members for our Suggestion Registry.
They will also reflect, in their final substance, some elements of the long-term objectives of our page on EthoCracy that are not fit, in their present form, for short-term lobbying purposes.
EthoPlasìn Lobbying To Change The World
Apart from the long-term EthoPlasìn objective mentioned in our page on EthoCracy, the EthoPlasìn Suggestion Registry contains hundreds of suggestions of desirable short-term objectives intended to change the world from various points of view, as spontaneously formulated by members. A good sampling exists in the pages of our Hot Issues. These hot pages however contain only "suggestions", corresponding to the spirit of the EthoPlasìn discipline, that members will try to apply in their lives, giving good examples of them, and discretely promote in all possible occasions when dealing with other people. They are not official proposals for which the EthoPlasìn members will formally lobby for, and/or have the duty to lobby for, under their membership agreement contract.
The following 'suggestions', here below, are the opposite: not just 'suggestions' but formal lobbying proposals for which all EthoPlasìn members will fight for, officially, in all possible occasion, and by all legal means available, pushing in the general direction of the long-term EthoPlasìn objective of the advent of EthoCracy. Members will work with these proposals industriously, like bees pollinating lavender as a symbol of their efforts.
Full Transparency With All Public Money - No confidentiality whatsoever, at all levels of administration! This includes not only governments at all levels, but all international organizations financed by public money, even if only in part. This certainly includes the great organizations like the EU, the UN, and all their dependent bodies like UNHCR and the WFP, to quote only two good examples. Not one penny can be spent without being submitted to immediate, free and full screening on the Internet. Every single spending operation should be documented and published immediately on the Internet, the same day it is disbursed, for all to see and scrutinize freely, including the name of the employee who authorized the disbursement and the name and city of residence of the person (or company) to whom the payment was made. To facilitate the scrutinizing, the relational database should offer immediate links to an electronic copy of all documents related to the transaction, like typically won bids or bills. Transactions related to secret services should be submitted to the basic same rule except that the related expenses published on the Internet would be less specific and the scrutinizing of the details would be made more restricted, and allowed only through a special committee of five bipartisan officials under the authority of a randomly appointed judge of a superior court certifying the regularity of the disbursement. Any manager caught approving any transaction incorrectly, even a minor one, should, by law, be forcefully released from employment, banished for ever from any other public employment in the future, and subjected to an adequate fine or punishment on the basis of the seriousness of the infraction. This should also apply to any judge certifying wrongly the regularity of any transaction made by secret services after a review by a judge of the Supreme Court if and when necessary.
Full Transparency Of All Financial Institutions - Private banks use money from private individuals, and the names of their depositors should be kept confidential but, by the same token, these banks are guaranteed by public money in case of bankruptcy. All their actions, on how they use that private money, should consequently be subjected to absolute transparency, just like the public money used by all levels of governments in paragraph one. The same rule should apply to all other financial institution not guaranteed by the government, public or private, but using money from the public at large in handling things such as pension funds, insurance, loans etc. No exception! In order to encourage the mutual internal surveillance of the regularity of all operations, in the case of bankruptcy, no manager of these institutions should be allowed to receive any kind of bonus or severance pay, whatever their contract provided for, and whatever their contributions were to any pension fund, and their pensions should be reduced to strict social pension minimum.
Full Transparency Of Assets Of Politicians - This includes all their immediate family members vertically and all their relatives of the first degree horizontally (brothers and sisters and their dependents). If some family members refuse to collaborate on the inventory of their assets, the candidate politician can replace their inventory with a declaration of his own, regarding their known assets, to be deposited in full confidentiality with the ombudsman's office during his political mandate. At the end of the mandate, a confrontation is made by the ombudsman's office to ascertain no obvious discrepancy exists between the new asset status of the family and what it was before the electoral mandate, taking in consideration the declared earnings of all the persons concerned during the period of the mandate. Any serious discrepancy is then reported by the ombudsman to a magistrate for investigation.
Full Responsibility And Accountability Of All Public Officials - This includes in particular all politicians at all levels of administration, all judges or magistrates, all managers of all public institutions like hospitals, municipalities, ministries or schools, and all directors of all national or international organizations financed by public money like the EU or the UN and all their dependencies. No exception! All their mistakes, misuse, or abuse, are subject to full responsibility, with scrutiny under full public light and punishment by fines, demotions and dismissals, let alone possible jail sentences.
Full Respect Of Electoral Mandates - Nobody should be elected to any public position without an identity picture of his face appearing on the electoral ballot, with his full name, the name of his party if any, and a website link to his electoral program elaborated with the funding sources of each promise made. Any deviation from the official program during mandate should require immediate resignation and a re-election on a new basis at the next possible electoral occasion. Any shortcoming from the official program adhered to, at the end of the mandate, not preceded by a corresponding resignation during mandate, should prevent the candidate from the right to be re-elected as a candidate at the time of the next election.
Social Salary to All National Mothers - All mothers who are citizens of the country, married or not, growing minor children, and choosing not to join the labor market in order to better dedicate themselves to this major national task, should receive a social salary in their name from that country. Foreign mothers, those who are not citizens of their country of residence, would only be able to get such social salary from their own country of nationality. Our society is badly affected at the moment by a combination of low birth rates and a lack of proper education of minor children, leading our civic environments to be in a state of advanced degradation, and more and more open to rampaging micro-criminality. Only drastic measures can reverse this ugly trend and social salaries to dedicated national mothers is one that can only be considered an essential investment on our future, to save our culture and level of civilization. A social salary could be calculated on the basis of the average unemployment benefits of a person with the same level of education and professional qualifications of the mother raising the child at home without employment.
Schools Responsible For Their Final Product - In a meritocratic society, like the one promoted by EthoPlasìn, schools should be more selective to ensure all students are best fit to their role and employment in society on the basis of their natural talent, aptitudes and best efforts. Not all student s are fit equally for any kind of work, manual or intellectual. Too many of them at the moment get too easy access to university degrees that are not matching their natural aptitudes nor the needs of society, let alone the labor market. These irresponsible universities produce unemployed graduate professionals by the thousands and frustrated members of the intellectual society, rendering them not only useless but frustrated and thus potentially professionally dangerous. By the same token, thousands of students at a non-university level are missing an occasion to fulfill a meaningful and rewarding role at other professional levels not necessarily involving intellectual work, because of partial, often total, lack of appropriate training. This is why the reopening of the old apprenticeship schools for various professions should take place and be given great relevance in collaboration with the best sectors of the industry and labor market. Even the most simple jobs should be the subject of an apprenticeship for a period of one to four years, according to the degree of difficulty of the work involved. Nobody should be allowed to jump into any job without appropriate apprenticeship, be it a cashier, a plumber, an electrician, a software developer, or any other kind of worker. Apprenticeship schools could also recycle unemployed workers in sectors of better employment opportunities. Unemployment insurance recipients should also be forced to join an appropriate apprenticeship school with prospects of employment, subject to loosing their benefits. The bottom line is that our society should have access to a growing number of fully qualified workers in any field of activity, be they intellectual or manual professionals and, by the same token, experience a major reduction of unemployment and a growing amount of self-gratification and satisfaction on the part of a growing number of workers. Schools or universities producing too many unemployed professionals, like a percentage higher of the related unemployment rate, should consequently be put under budget restrictions and commissioned for reform. At the same time, all schools, at whatever level, should be obliged to teach civic education, social ethics and meritocracy as a formal part of their general curriculum, albeit maybe a minor part.
Only Legal Immigration - Immigration is not a right of the emigrant, but a right of the receiving country. A country is like home: no stranger has the right to force his way in and establish without being invited. Legal immigration is desirable and useful, but forced immigration, or illegal immigration, is a dangerous iceberg on which too many civic environments and cultures are already crashing at the moment, some of which with the near certainly of sinking completely in the next generation or two. No country should be forced to accept illegal immigrants who, most of the time, are themselves forced to become street beggars or peddlers, let alone micro-criminals. Only legal immigration should take place. In the same spirit, only national street beggars are given a special ID, and accepted as such by the population, when there are no better alternatives offered by charity or public shelter organizations, or when the national beggars themselves forcefully refuse these facilities. Non-national street beggars and non-national street peddlers, as well as all the illegal immigrants working illegally, are gently but swiftly deported to their own countries, hopefully at the expense of their families or the countries involved, like in consular repatriation cases, or at the expense of the employer in the case of those working illegally. The same rules apply to illegal foreigners in self-invented jobs, like abusive parking lot 'managers' of free public parking spaces, or car windshield cleaners at street corners. Immigrants must be selected and chosen, and the costs for doing so are much less than the costs for not doing so. Immigrants are then accepted as such by the receiving country prior to the arrival of the potential immigrant, based on a strict set of rules related to health, security and job offers not fill ed by nationals. If the illegal immigrants have no identity document, or claim legitimately that they cannot return to their country of origin for fear of their life or their integrity, they are referred to the UNHCR centers to be identified and processed as illegal immigrants or refugees, be maintained in the meantime, and eventually returned home safely if and when at all possible. National street peddlers in turn are allowed to sell their goods, but only in areas appointed officially by the various municipalities for such purposes, usually in or by flee-markets or other kinds of public and open street markets.
The EGG Policy - As a more long term objective, all members will strongly lobby, at all possible occasion, for the advent of EthoCracy and the recognition and use of the EthoGloso auxiliary language in as many environments or countries as possible. This combination is what EthoPlasìn calls its EGG Policy (EthoCracy and EthoGloso Governance). All governing systems or organizations should ideally submit themselves to an EGG Policy. This includes governments and all international organizations. It eminently applies to all schools or educational institutions at the beginning, as a first stage, for at least one generation, in order to apply the EGG Policy more easily afterwards to all governing bodies or organizations with the help of a critical mass of persons already familiar with the EthoGloso language and the principles and spirit of the EthoCracy.
