A dress made out of meat?
Claim: A dress made of rotting meat was displayed as a work of art in the National Gallery in Ottawa, Canada.
together and displayed on a hanger at the National Gallery, is causing a cultural flap in Canada.
Entitled "Vanitas: Flesh Dress for an Albino Anorectic," the exhibit was created by Montreal artist Sterbak to emphasize the contrast between vanity and bodily decay.
It also underlines the contrast between people willing to recognize it as art, and those who would rather take their meat at mealtimes.
Reminiscent of recent clashes between U.S. politicians over the limits of artistic taste, the dress has drawn as much general attention as any Canadian work of art in years.
The reaction was strong.Two hundred people mailed food scraps to Canada's most popular fine arts museum last week to protest the new show.
But most people who have seen it say it's legitimate art.
made of 50 pounds of salted flank steak, is a waste of food and taxpayers' money, critics say. But museum curators defend the work, "Vanitas," as a graphic reminder of mortality and the aging process.
The meat dress by Montreal artist Jana Sterbak is on a hanger beside a photo of a woman wearing it. When the meat decomposes after six weeks, it will be replaced with another $260 worth of fresh meat. "Vanitas," on display since March 8, will remain until May 20 before traveling to the United States and Europe.

My name is Mike Montenegro and I am the Membership Director at the DT YMCA Branch. I'm also a part-time Personal Trainer. My love for fitness started as a 10 year-old child, after going to the library and checking out my first Arnold Schwarzenegger book. At the time, my parents couldn't afford to buy any weightlifting equipment, so I did a lot of body weight exercises, (push-ups, pull-ups, and dips), and I continue to use them with my clients, today. I am Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) as well as Fitness Nutrion Specialist (FNS) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

My name is Brett Andrews, and I am a personal trainer at the DT YMCA. My passion for fitness began in November 2010, when a near stroke led me to evaluate my lifestyle choices. Over the next three years, I shifted my whole lifestyle to lose 100 lbs, lower my blood pressure, and pack on lean muscle by focusing on diet first, then exercise. This experience helped me to develop my "Baby Steps" approach to training—baby steps of progress can lead to massive results over time. I am a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and Group Personal Training Specialist (GPTS) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. My specialties lie in weight loss, injury rehabilitation, and weight training for women over 35.

I truly understand what it's like to struggle with being unhealthy and getting strong and fit again. As a 50 year old I know what it takes for us that have older bodies to get in shape. That's my passion and mission, to take the journey with you. We all have a story and through determination and some healthy fun, we can all have a happy ending to our story.

Glen Lake Community Schools Votes To Replace Football Field With Artificial Turf
Monday night the Glen Lake Community Schools' board decided they will replace their grass football field with artificial turf. ... Glen Lake Community Schools Votes To Replace Football Field With Artificial Turf (910 Media Group)
Glen Lake Community Schools' grass football field will be getting a full-fledged facelift, not the usual repairs.
The school's board decided on Monday night they will replace their grass football field with artificial turf.
It's a story we first brought you in May, when the board was looking at whether to patch up their current field, reseed the field, or put down artificial turf.
"We have to consider usability versus something that's natural," said Superintendent Sander Scott.
Tuesday night, after a 6-1 vote, it was the usability of the artificial turf that won—at a cost of $839,488.000. The money will come from their general fund.
Scott says, "Certainly if you look at the overall price tag it is more expensive to install an artificial or synthetic turf than a natural grass new field, but I think that was the kind of direction the board went. Understanding that I think every one of them would like a natural solution that would allow as much usage as the synthetic turf allows there just isn't that solution right now."
Parents did have their concerns, but some parents like Michelle Peterson says they believe the board chose the best option for everyone involved. She says her family is a football family and is excited for the change.
"My three sons I know that they are super excited about this opportunity they're super excited to play Traverse City Francis on their first home game on the field," Peterson said.
But Scott says this opportunity isn't just about football.
"It will go much beyond high school football," he said. "Our softball baseball coaches and players were excited because they'll be able to use that field at a time where they were never able to before."
Now that a decision has been made, Scott says the district can move forward and focus on other needs.
"We're going through a series of really trying to analyze our facilities trying to strategically plan about what happens next and why to just provide the very best educational experience we can provide without having to pass bond issues," he said.
There will be a special meeting Thursday to sort through details of the dredging and alternative material options for under the turf. Glen Lake Community Schools hope the new field will be ready this fall.

Curtain up on National Friendly's new partnership with Bristol Hippodrome
National Friendly, the Bristol-based mutual society, has formally linked up with the city's iconic Hippodrome theatre to help it develop its connections with local communities.
The agreement seeks to build on National Friendly's existing community initiatives, including its work with Cabot Primary School through the Ablaze Reading Buddy Programme and will further support fundraising for its charity of the year Southmead Hospital Charity's NICU fund.
Under the new partnership National Friendly, which specialises in private medical insurance, guaranteed life assurance, assisted living insurance, savings and investments, will also be supporting The Bristol Hippodrome's Matinee Club.
The club aims to bring together theatre lovers aged 60 and above who would have otherwise attended shows alone, giving them the chance to make new friends and meet like-minded people.
National Friendly CEO Jonathan Long said: "We are delighted to be partnering with one of Bristol's best-loved theatres. The Bristol Hippodrome not only has a rich history of displaying the best of the arts from across the globe, but also does so much to help those in the wider community today. The theatre will be key in helping us achieve our corporate social responsibility goals for the year, and we are eager to see what the rest of 2019 has in store for the partnership."
Bristol Hippodrome theatre director Jenny Hutchinson: "We are delighted to be working in partnership with National Friendly on an exciting education and community initiative, as being an inclusive theatre is of paramount importance to us.
"Our collaborative work will benefit National Friendly's charity of the year (NICU) and the families it supports, pupils from Cabot Primary School and the patrons who attend our Matinee Club.
"Young audiences are particularly important to the future of theatre and so we must ensure we are continuing to create memories for the next generation of theatregoers. Our partnership with National Friendly will give these children, many of whom may not find theatre particularly accessible, the opportunity to see one of our fantastic shows. These partnerships are a great way to strengthen the connection between our community and its local theatre."
National Friendly was established in 1868. It has no shareholders and exists to serve the best interests of its 33,400 members

nintedanib
Authorisation details
Assessment history
Authorised
This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.
Ofev is a medicine used to treat adults with:
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease of unknown cause in which fibrous tissue forms in the lungs;
systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease, a disease in which the immune system (the body's natural defences) is overactive, causing production of fibrous tissue and progressive scarring of the lungs;
other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases which are progressive.
Ofev contains the active substance nintedanib.
Expand section
Collapse section
How is Ofev used?
Ofev can only be obtained with a prescription, and treatment should be started by a doctor experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases it is used for.
Ofev is available as capsules (100 and 150 mg). The recommended dose is 150 mg taken twice a day with food, approximately 12 hours apart. In patients who do not tolerate this dose, the dose should be reduced to 100 mg twice a day or treatment should be interrupted.
For more information about using Ofev, see the package leaflet or contact your doctor or pharmacist.
How does Ofev work?
The active substance in Ofev, nintedanib, blocks the activity of some enzymes known as tyrosine kinases. These enzymes are present in certain receptors (such as VEGF, FGF and PDGF receptors) in cells in the lungs, where they activate several processes involved in the generation of fibrous tissue. By blocking these enzymes, nintedanib helps to reduce the formation of fibrous tissue in the lungs, thereby helping to prevent the symptoms of the disease from getting worse.
What benefits of Ofev have been shown in studies?
Ofev has been compared with placebo (a dummy treatment) in four main studies involving a total of 1,066 patients with IPF, 580 patients with systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease and 663 patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease. In all studies, the main measure of effectiveness was the decline in the functioning of the patients' lungs over the course of 1 year of treatment, measured by their forced vital capacity (FVC). FVC is the maximum amount of air the patient can breathe out forcefully after taking in a deep breath and this decreases as the condition gets worse.
In 2 studies in patients with IPF, patients taking Ofev had a smaller decline in FVC than patients taking placebo, meaning that Ofev slowed down the worsening of the condition. The average FVC of patients before treatment was between 2600 and 2700 millilitre (ml). In the first study, the average decrease in FVC over 1 year was 115 ml in patients taking Ofev compared with a decrease of 240 ml in patients taking placebo. In the second study, the average decrease was 114 ml for Ofev compared with 207 ml for placebo. A further analysis of the results of the 2 main studies, which took into account that some patients stopped treatment, confirmed the benefits of Ofev over placebo, although the difference in FVC between the two was less pronounced.
In the study in patients with systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease, the average decrease in FVC was 52 ml for Ofev compared with 93 ml for placebo. The average FVC of patients before treatment was around 2500 ml.
In the study in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease, the average decrease in FVC was 81 ml for Ofev compared with 188 ml for placebo. The average FVC of patients before treatment was around 2330 ml.
What are the risks associated with Ofev?
The most common side effects with Ofev (which may affect more than 1 in 10 people) are diarrhoea, nausea (feeling sick), vomiting, abdominal pain (belly ache), decreased appetite and raised levels of liver enzymes in the blood (a sign of liver problems). Weight loss (which may affect up to 1 in 10 people) is also common. For the full list of side effects reported with Ofev, see the package leaflet.
Ofev must not be used in patients who are hypersensitive (allergic) to nintedanib, peanut or soya, or any of the other ingredients. Ofev must also not be used in pregnant women.
Why is Ofev authorised in the EU?
The European Medicines Agency decided that Ofev's benefits are greater than its risks and it can be authorised for use in the EU. The Agency considered that Ofev is effective at slowing down the worsening of lung function in patients with IPF, systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease and other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases which are progressive. Regarding safety, the side effects associated with Ofev were considered manageable with dose interruptions or reductions.
What measures are being taken to ensure the safe and effective use of Ofev?
Recommendations and precautions to be followed by healthcare professionals and patients for the safe and effective use of Ofev have been included in the summary of product characteristics and the package leaflet.
As for all medicines, data on the use of Ofev are continuously monitored. Side effects reported with Ofev are carefully evaluated and any necessary action taken to protect patients.

The USDA has lifted the quarantine on the 20 million chickens they detained on Friday that may have eaten tainted pet food in their feed. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said that "testing found that the contaminant, the industrial chemical melamine, was so diluted that any human exposure from the meat or eggs of the animals would be thousands of times lower than the level considered safe." So, now these chickens will be released into our food supply.
This is in stark contrast to the announcement by the FDA and USDA earlier today about the need to still investigate the chickens for a week.

any grains, protiens, gluten, pork, spinach, peanut butter, etc……. and dont let your pets eat any type pet food either.
straybaby, I hope with everything in me, we never have to find out.
Why is he talking to the "Organic Trade Association" here? Does that mean these were organically raised? I was hoping to avoid the melamine by buy buying organics.
"We literally found that the dilution is so minute, in fact in some cases you can't even test and find melamine any more in that product," Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said during comments to the Organic Trade Association.
to be certified organic, it includes the food they ate as being organic to the point i think it has to come from a certified organic farm which includes the soil. certified organic in petfoods has to meet the same standards. it's prob the only food in America that is being inspected in a controlled manner and to standards we can *live* with. i'm pretty sure scrap pet food with ingredients from China doesn't fall into the organic feed catagory.
Anonymous - you should at least post a name.
Correction: "Civilisation" is an acceptable spelling in this case. The author above is a Limey.
Oh, I wouldn't bet on that. The Amish communities are quite big in the puppy trade. Just google "puppy mill Amish" you'll see.
Joan, yer making my head spin!
um, didn't *someone* just release 20 million mela-chickens on us?!
I believe he was talking to the OTA about the mengele-mine chicken [EDITED]-uation Not infering that that the organic chickens were contaminated.
I agree that the article was vague and misleading on this point.
I'm pretty upset that they would allow these chickens to be sold. They should to be destroyed.
maybe because they haven't heard of anyone falling ill/dropping dead from the test release that accidently hit the market place, they thought it would be ok to expand the program?!
of course even if they had heard problems with the first wave, we will need to watch for stock sales in the next couple of weeks as our early warning system before the recall.
oh wait! they can't recall. they don't have the authority . . .
May 7th, 2007 at 3:09 pm — if that is true, then this is truly EVIL!
Katie — since organic chicken can cost an arm and a leg :>D, I have been buying Kosher. Surely they would not feed cat/dog food to a kosher chicken would they :>S ?
Get some Dolisos or Unda Common Juniper. Put 3-5 drops in your pets water, this will help de-tox the kidneys, just in case (see www.thepetwhisperer.com ) Also, there are some other kidney detox products you can pick up at some of the smaller pet food stores that SPECIALIZE in high grade pet food, many with organic ingredients etc. But the Dolisos is much more reasonably priced.
Now I know what killed three betas one after the other. I thought they were not healthy when I bought them, and that is why they died, that is until number three went belly up. Then I thought, maybe this is not the right kind of food for them even though the pet store said it is. Little did I know I was feeding them poison!!
"Some samples of adulterated wheat gluten reportedly tested as high as 6.6-percent melamine by weight, an off the chart concentration that was likely the accidental result of some less than thorough mixing. Had this accident never occurred — had cats, with their sensitive renal systems, not been the canary in the coal mine of melamine toxicity — we might never have known that our children and our pets were being slowly poisoned by Chinese capitalism." This confirms what I said on an earlier itchmo blog, this has been going on for a long time and perhaps several sources "melamined" the gluten before it got to the pet food companies!
They are not out of control. They are trying to get control over their lives. That is not panic of blind fear, this is panic from fighting the clock to find a safe food for pets many of whom have already suffered kidney damage. When they get calm about the possiblilty of feeding their family poison, then I will worry.
The stomach cannot wait for rational solutions, it needs food now.
BTW I haven't heard the phrase 'Bakery By-products' before. What is this double talk?
Perdue sent me this email which does not discuss foreign source products. The wording does not exclude the possibility of gluten in their feed.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to your inquiry.
to 6:00 PM ET, or email us at www.perdue.com®.
If they don't use Chinese, why would an all clear from the FDA be of any significance?
Organic Trade Association was host to a visit by Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns on May 7, 2007. The Secretary held a general press conference at the end of his visit where he took questions about organic products and about general issues of interest to the American public concerning the Farm Bill and Food Safety.
His comments in regard to the current melamine contamination issue were addressing the general investigation underway and were not referencing organic products.
Organic meat and poultry are raised using certified organic feed.
Thank you again for contacting the Organic Trade Association, and I invite you to sign up for our free electornic newsletter at www.theorganicreport.org.
Chicken meal is chicken meat with the water and fat removed.
Considered the best source of protein in commercial pet foods because of its digestibility and palatability.
Natura uses the highest quality chicken meal that can be purchased, which is low in ash.
Thank you for your response. Where do you purchase the Chicken Meal from? Is the chicken organic?
Our chicken meal is from Iowa and free of any melamine. It is human grade but not classified as organic. We do have Organic chicken in our Karma Organic dog food.

2018 Tip O'Neill Irish Diaspora Awards Nomination Process Opens
Home/Uncategorized/2018 Tip O'Neill Irish Diaspora Awards Nomination Process Opens
Donegal County Council is delighted to announce the official opening of the Tip O'Neill Irish Diaspora Awards nomination process for 2018.
Click Here to Nominate
The Awards ceremony which is held annually in Donegal, an initiative of the broader Diaspora project, has become a highlight of Donegal County Council's calendar of events. The Award is presented on an annual basis to a member/s of the broad Irish Diaspora who has achieved prominence or recognition in the area of business, commerce, industry, education, politics, finance or sport.
The sixth Annual Tip O'Neill Irish Diaspora Awards took place in Donegal last October. This year saw Donegal County Council recognise four members of the Diaspora. Packie Bonner, former Ireland Goalkeeper, Barbara Koster, Senior Vice President Prudential Financial responsible for the establishment and expansion of Pramerica in Letterkenny, Fraser Doherty, a young entrepreneur from Scotland with family links to Listillion, Letterkenny and finally, Martin Meehan, President of the University of Massachuettes who was a key figure in the establishment of the Centre for Irish Partnerships in 2009.
Previous recipients include journalist and publisher Niall O'Dowd, former Governor of Montana Brian Schweitzer, Senator Therese Murray former president of the Massachusetts Senate, U.S. based philanthropist Ms. Loretta Brennan Glucksman and the U.S. political commentator Chris Matthews.
This year's events began with each of the four recipients hosting a workshop at Ulster University, Magee campus in their respective areas of expertise. The workshops were attended by in excess of 200 people and provided a great opportunity to hear first hand the experiences of the award recipients.
The awards ceremony itself took place in An Grianan Hotel and was attended by 220 people. Tip's son Tom his wife Shelly and their guests attended again this year to show their on-going support of the initiative.
The weekend concluded with the inaugural Tip O'Neill Donegal Diaspora Golf Challenge held in Ballyliffin Golf Course. Our visiting teams from the US together with a number of public and private sector teams enjoyed a great day out in Ballyliffin with the Letterkenny Institute of Technology winning the Tip O'Neill Perpetual Cup and Donegal County Council winning the Donegal Diaspora Golf Challenge.
Councillor Nicholas Crossan, Chairman of the Tip O Neill Committee speaking about the nomination process said "here in Donegal we are very proud of our strong connections with the wider global family across the world and I would encourage people to submit their nominations for this prestigious award". Speaking at the launch Michael Tunney, Head of Enterprise said that Donegal County Council was looking forward to developing relationships with the new Donegal Ambassadors and previous winners going forward for the mutual benefit of the county and its communities.
The Tip O'Neill Irish Diaspora Award was initiated in 2012 as a means of commemorating the centenary of the birth of the late Tip O'Neill who was a liberal Democrat and an influential member of the US House of Representatives. His maternal grandparents came from County Donegal. Throughout his long and distinguished career, he spoke to and for both the Irish community and all vulnerable residents in the United States. His vision and his determination to make Ireland a better place were crucial in the negotiations that led to the Anglo Irish Agreement in 1985 and the establishment of the International Fund for Ireland.
The closing date for receipt of completed nomination forms is Friday, 27th April 2018.

Cycle of Violence
Atlas Press originally published this fiercely hysterical graphic novel in 1992 in an edition of 300 copies, now eagerly sought by collectors. In the meantime Grayson Perry has become a world-famous artist and ceramicist.
This larger format re-edition with a new cover is published to coincide with the artist's retrospective exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Barbican in London. He won the Turner Prize in 2003.
"When I was 12 or 13 I drew a series of short comic-strip adventures featuring a male hero. When puberty hit me these boy's own tales became increasingly kinky, involving much cross-dressing and bondage. Sadly, these reports from my young subconscious were lost in the upheavals of adolescence. Twenty years later I drew Cycle of Violence while facing up to becoming a father myself, and once again my imagination became an open wound."

MS ad campaign = PWNED by new Apple Bean Counter ad.
I've wondered if Apple would respond to MS's new ad campaign in any way through their Get A Mac commercials. Well I think the new Bean Counter ad is a brilliant parry, not too overt but still giving MS a taste of the back of their hand.
That was absolutely perfect. I like the pizza box one too.
I was thinking that some of the ads were getting a bit tired but this is a work of genius.
I bet even Seinfeld is laughing at that one.
am not real sure why you guys like this ad so much. It really doesnt say anything. Please dont get me wrong, I love my macbook, but the ads are getting to the point of mudslinging and no real substance. I liked the ads several years ago when they actually spoke a grain of truth, but today they are just getting old.
No, I think they hit the nail on the head. After all, it WAS Microsoft who ran the commercials about getting people to use Vista, but under a different name. And I'm sure there were people who knew but that didn't make the commercial.


KTM have announced that the concept study E-SPEED will advance to a series project.
In 2015 the fascinating scooter will follow the sporty offroad bike Freeride E, which is to be available in the coming year at all official KTM dealers in Europe.
Just four weeks after the first presentation of KTM's E-Scooter Studio at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show, the E-SPEED made its first appearance in Europe when it was shown to the domestic market at the bike-austria Exhibition – in Tulln, Austria. And with good reason.
The goal is to develop the E-SPEED concept study into a serial production model by 2015. Literally speaking, KTM have spent a lot of energy in developing a completely new drive system for the Freeride E. Now this can also be utilized for the scooter that is designed to have a very sporty look.
At present the availability for both the Freeride E and E-Speed has not been confirmed for Australia or New Zealand.

"Difference" measurements were computed by MPD from the strain means (fold change, D289 over control) and are available for download in a separate supplementary file.
MPD curation note: DB289 was previously tested in clinical trials to treat African trypanosomiasis. However, the trial was terminated when subjects developed severe kidney injury, an effect not predicted from preclinical testing. This project (Harrill2) highlights the utility of inbred strains to predict clinically relevant toxicities to drugs prior to clinical trials.
Acknowledgements Funding provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Data changelog No updates/corrections. Initial release date: 12/2012.
Mice received ten days of oral treatment with DB289 (pafuramidine) or vehicle. Blood chemistry and urinalysis were performed. Urine biomarkers of kidney injury were measured and organs weighed.

The Science of Identity, Believing in Yourself & Setting Goals
HOW OUR BRAIN HOLDS US BACK FROM POSITIVE CHANGE
Our life is full of decisions — both big and small. While some decisions bring us clarity about our identity, other choices can make it difficult to see the person we are meant to become. The weight of these uncertainties often weighs heavily on our minds until they finally manifest into a confident decision or action.
But even then, there's no way to guarantee it will be the best choice for us in the long run. Sometimes, all you need is a firm belief in yourself that you can overcome whatever obstacle life throws in.
If you've been wanting to get a clear understanding of your identity and set goals for yourself that you believe in, this interview is for you. Friends, I'm so excited about our guest today, Katy Milkman. She is an award-winning behavioral scientist and professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
In this episode, we discussed the biggest internal barriers holding you back from changing your life, what science says about how to believe in yourself more, and so much more. There is so much value she shared during our conversion and I'm sure you'll love this episode of The School of Greatness. So, let the class begin!
Who Is Katy Milkman?
Katy Milkman is a summa cum laude graduate in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton University with a Ph.D. from Harvard University's joint program in Computer Science and Business. She's also a host of Choiceology, a popular podcast from Charles Schwab that explores the lessons of behavioral economics to help people change for good and improve their judgment.
Katy is also the co-founder and co-director of The Behavior Change for Good Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania, whose work is being chronicled by Freakonomics Radio. Her research is regularly featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and National Public Radio.
Before turning 30, Katy was named one of the "World's Top 40 Business School Professors" under 40 by Poets and Quants, and she was a finalist for the Thinkers 50 2017 Radar Thinker Award.
She has received numerous awards for her research, including an award from the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences during the early years of her career. She also gave the TED talk "Why We Fail and How We Stand Up Afterwards," where she discussed why we fail and how we stand up afterward.
We all have our days where we feel like giving up on something — whether it's a project, an exam, or even something as simple as going to the gym. There are times when we don't want to push forward and finish the task at hand, but understanding what is stopping us is vital in handling the obstacles and getting past them.
The Barriers Holding You Back from Changing Your Life
It's easy to get bogged down by the day-to-day mundanity of life. Sometimes, it can feel like you're stuck in a boring routine that never changes, and it seems like you have nowhere to go and nothing left to strive for.
Life is not always easy and it doesn't always make sense. But the truth is, you're not alone. In fact, there was a study that showed that 80% of people feel stuck in their lives. Why it is so hard for us to want to change and create the life that we truly desire? We have dreams, but why are we still stuck from making the necessary changes to make our dreams happen, as if there are barriers that are holding us back? Katy provided some insight:
"There are two categories of barriers. … One of them is structural and social and sort of outside of your own control, … [and] there's not much we can do about that. … So I want to focus on the second category, — the internal barriers that would prevent us from reaching our goals, that can make us feel stuck." – Katy Milkman
The only thing standing between you and your goals is YOU! That's right — it's not the lack of time or money, and it's not the people in your lives, either — it's you.
Sometimes, there are inner voices that tell you things like "I don't deserve it" or "I can't do that." Katy called these "internal barriers," and they're based either on past experiences or just fear of failure in general. Katy discussed the two common internal barriers that are holding you back from changing your life.
Barrier #1 – Status Quo Bias
How many times have you come to a crossroads in life and felt paralyzed by all the possible paths? It's so easy to get stuck in the status quo, imagining the possible worst-case scenarios, which keeps you on "the safest path."
"[There are many] internal barriers, [and] one of the biggest actually is status quo bias. This is something that behavioral scientists have been studying for many decades. It's the tendency to want to stick to whatever path you're on to feel like any deviation from it will be a loss. It's frightening, it's overwhelming, and so, it leads a lot of us to keep doing things that aren't productive and stay in ruts." – Katy Milkman
"Status quo bias" is a cognitive bias in which people prefer things to stay the same. It's easier for us to keep doing what we're doing than change our habits and try something new. This can be seen when people are resistant to new technologies or changes in their environment, even if they could benefit from the change. Unfortunately, status quo bias can limit our creativity, opportunities, and future success for ourselves and others around us.
Barrier #2 – Escalation of Commitment
Another type of internal barrier is "escalation of commitment," which is a psychological phenomenon in which people will continue to invest more time, energy, or resources in something due to the amount they have already invested. This effect often leads to compulsive behavior that can be harmful to both the individual and those around them.
"Escalation of commitment … is another bias that has been extensively documented. [This is] the tendency we have when we're on a path to stick to it in part because we tend not to ignore sunk costs. So a sunk cost is like something that you can't recover, like … all the birthday presents that you purchased, … [and] all of those things that are irrecoverable, they're historical, they're behind you, [and] you can't get them back." – Katy Milkman
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you feel like there is no way out because you've already invested so much time into it? For example, maybe you're staying in a toxic relationship only because you've invested so much time into it trying to fix it. Deep down, you know that you'd be happier without it, but it's just become such a normal part of your life that you don't know any different. This is an escalation of commitment, which is another barrier that gets you stuck and prevents you from moving forward.
There are many reasons why people don't take action when they want to improve their lives. Fear, regret, and uncertainty can all hold us back from moving forward. Luckily, there's a way to overcome these barriers, and the process of overcoming them starts with taking small steps and believing in yourself that you can overcome any barrier, which is critical in navigating the ebbs and flows in life.
"Change is easier when you adopt the right strategy." @katy_milkman
What Science Says About How to Believe in Yourself More
A lot of people may be quick to tell you that your dreams are too big or you're not good enough. And even if they don't say it out loud, sometimes your mind is telling you the same thing. But here's the truth: You deserve to have a chance at chasing your dreams, and anything worth having is going to take hard work. And when it comes down to believing in yourself more, there is no better person than YOU! The only one who can make things happen for you is yourself. However, the people around you can also influence how deeply you believe in yourself, so it's important that you surround yourself with people who support you and challenge you.
"The most powerful thing is who you surround yourself with. So I think the social context you create and the people around you have so much to do with whether or not you believe in yourself. … [However,] you can have excessive confidence that can be harmful. So this is a little bit dangerous." – Katy Milkman
Believing in yourself is a wonderful thing, but it has its limits. It's important to remember that believing in yourself doesn't mean you're invincible. There are still things that can go wrong with your life. If you have too much faith in yourself, you might not be as prepared for the obstacles ahead of you and could miss out on chances to grow or learn more about the world around you.
"You want to be confident enough and believe in yourself enough that you're going to lean into the opportunities and work towards the goals because you believe you could achieve them. But if you're like, 'I've got this, I'm perfect,' but you're not going to practice, and you're not going to work hard, [nothing will change.] … So there [should be] … a little bit of a delicate balance." – Katy Milkman
There should be a balance between believing in ourselves and also understanding when enough is enough. Although self-confidence is something that many people strive for, what happens when you have too much self-confidence? One study found that individuals with high levels of confidence are more likely to take risks, ignore advice, and disregard the consequences than those with moderate levels of self-esteem.
"How do you get to that right level of belief? Everything I know from research points to the structure of the people you surround yourself with — whether it's the people you work with, the people you train with, … the people you socialize with — they give you a lot of those beliefs in yourself and you can choose them. … It shapes so much about our confidence." – Katy Milkman
The people you surround yourself with can shape your self-confidence. So, it's important to be around people who make you feel good about yourself and help build up the person you are on the inside. The more time you spend with these types of people, the better your outlook becomes — you will feel happier and less stressed because you're surrounded by positivity.
Here's the bottom line: If you want to change your life for the better then start surrounding yourself with uplifting and supportive people.

I want to leave you all with this quote from Ralph Ellison, who said, "When I discover who I am, I'll be free." We all have the power to change our lives. The only thing that stops us is not knowing what we want or not believing it's possible. But once you discover who you are and what your dreams are, you'll be free!
And I want to remind you all if no one has told you lately, my friend, — you are loved, you are worthy, and you matter. You know what time it is. It's time to go out there and do something great.
To greatness,
"The closer you are to someone, and the more their situation resembles your own, the more likely you are to be influenced by their behavior." @katy_milkman

Intermittent Fasting has become super popular in last so many years. However, there are still so many people who are not aware of what exactly is Intermittent fasting? So first I will throw some light on the fact that what is intermittent fasting.
It's a kind of eating pattern where people have to eat in a certain cycle and rest of the time they have to do fasting. In the name of Intermittent, we have so many fasting plans and one of them is a very famous known as 5/2 diet plan.
This plan means you can eat normally for five days of the week, however, you cannot eat any food for rest two days or you will be on very less diet (almost less than 600 calories).
There is one more plan for this fasting which is known as fasting for 16 hours, where people can eat normally for 8 hours of the day, however, they cannot eat anything for remaining 16 hours of the day.
Like these fasting plans, there are many other myths about intermittent fasting for women. All these are lead by so many old misinformation about fasting.
Some Popular Myths which are Surrounding us With Intermittent Fasting.
This is one of the biggest myths about intermittent fasting and trusts me the majority of women believe this to be a fact. As per theories of people, if you are fasting, your body will shut down metabolism to conserve fat and calories as it believes that it is starving.
Eventually, it is true that weight loss for the long term will reduce some calories you burn and can add lots of calories burned daily. So what they are not telling you is that all this will happen if you are losing weight, no matter what method you choose.
This is again one of the biggest myths about fasting. Here people thing that human body can digest only around 30 grams of protein at a time that's why they think that people should eat after every 3 hours.
As per studies, it is proven that there is no difference in food digestion it is normally always if it will happen slowly then the human would have died millions of years back.
There are so many folks around who think that eating food frequently is good for health. Truth is that it is not good for the human body to consume food constantly, human should remain empty stomach for a short span of time.
Fasting sometimes results in health benefits however if you are doing it regularly and consuming so many snacks then it can result in a serious disease like excessive liver fat, cancer etc.
As per few people if you are not eating properly then your body will burn your body muscles for fuel. This is generally applicable to those people who diet but they end up with nothing or we can say that for the women who do intermittent fasting.

It is scientifically proven that frequent eating is not good. It only decreases metabolism and increases hunger. In short, it does the reverse of what exactly needs to be done. Does it mean that it has an effect on weight loss?
As per studies, weight is not dependent on meal frequency. As per one study, it is proven that there is no difference in hunger, weight loss and fat of the people who are taking three large meals and the people who are taking six small meals.
As stated earlier intermittent fasting or eating frequently will not increase metabolism. It will result in so many health issues. So there is no use of believing and flowing the saying that eating, again and again, will result in best health.
In the end, I just want to highlight that one should take care of their diet. They should eat a proper meal should do intermittent fasting sometimes. Try not to believe in old stories as they will always misguide you, this can also result in serious health issues.
One should make a diet plan in a way that they do not starve and they do not remain empty stomach for a long time as both can cause serious health issues.
