Q: C# Set combo item with selectedValue I am dynamically creating a combobox like this:
public Control GenerateList(Question question)
{
    // Get a list with answer possibilities
    List<QuestionAnswer> answers = question.GetAnswers();

    // Get a collection of given answers
    Collection<QuestionnaireAnswer> givenAnswers = question.GetFilledAnswers();

    ComboBox cmb = new ComboBox();
    cmb.Name = "cmb";
    cmb.DataSource = answers;
    cmb.DisplayMember = "Answer";
    cmb.ValueMember = "Id";

    // Check an answer is given to the question
    if (givenAnswers != null && givenAnswers.Count > 0)
    {
        cmb.SelectedValue = givenAnswers[0].AnswerId;

    }

    cmb.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
    cmb.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(cmb_SelectedIndexChanged);
    cmb.Leave += new EventHandler(cmb_Leave);

    return cmb;
}

The problem is,when executing cmb.SelectedValue = givenAnswers[0].AnswerId; cmb.SelectedValue is always null.
When debugging and I explore answers (the datasource) I see that Id (ValueMember) is exactle the same as AnswerId (in the if statement). Both have the same type (long) and the same value, but SelectedValue stays null.
Is there something I don't see?
EDIT:
It looks like the combobox stays empty. When I replace cmb.SelectedValue = givenAnswers[0].AnswerId; with cmb.SelectedIndex = 0; I get an ArgumentOutOfRangeException. This while the answers collections count is 2. So the datasource isn't null... Very strenge huh?
Solution:
The SelectedValue, SelectedIndex, SelectedItem properties can't be set until the control is added to the form. After the control is added to the form, the selectedValue, -Index and -Item properties can be set.

A: Solution:
The SelectedValue, SelectedIndex, SelectedItem properties can't be set until the control is added to the form. After the control is added to the form, the selectedValue, -Index and -Item properties can be set.

A: I met this weird issue before, at last I gave up and used another way:
cmb.Items.FindByValue(givenAnswers[0].AnswerId).Selected = true;

It worked fine...Hope you good luck!

A: cmb.SelectedIndex = cmb.FindStringExact("Desired Value")

The cmb.FindStringExact("Desired String") returns the index of the value you would like to select and the cmb.SelectedIndex sets the combobox to that index.
Thanks to Billious for showing me the light!
FYI - This is the VB.NET Winforms Version.

A: Are you looking at the same property?
 cmb.ValueMember = "Id";
 ..
 cmb.SelectedValue = givenAnswers[0].AnswerId;

You're refering to another ValueMember then the Id you're posting into the SelectedValue.
Besides that you might want to try to set your Display- and Value-member before databinding. It's faster.

A: Make sure QuestionAnswer has public accessors corresponding (same name) to the Display/Value Members you use.

A: I ran into the same problem, and found that my issue was I was treating SelectedValue as an integer, when in actual fact it was an object. The "FindByValue" solution from Danny Chen above doesn't work in WinForms, so I tried using "FindStringExact" and searched on the DisplayMember:
cmb.Items.FindStringExact(<Display string>)

Not an ideal solution, but it worked.

Leslie Jones hung out with Beyonce and Jay Z like it was NBD and we're kinda jealous

Imagine spending your Saturday night just chilling with Beyoncé and Jay Z like it's no big deal. For fierce, fabulous, and funny comedian Leslie Jones, that's exactly what weekends are like. Queen Bey and her hip hop hubby stopped by Saturday Night Live to support her little sister, Solange, during her big SNL performance. But lucky for Leslie, the party didn't stop when the final skit wrapped and the pictures of Leslie Jones' hanging out with Beyoncé and Jay Z prove it. It looks like she got to hang out with the couple after the show for more shenanigans and we're completely amazed at her cool as a cucumber attitude. How does one take selfies with that power couple and not be overwhelmed with sheer joey?
Judging by the photos Leslie shared, these three had a fabulous time kicking back and sharing laughs during their celebrity night out. Maybe it's just us, but it looks like Leslie and Queen Bey might be a little #turnt, and Jay Z is looking like he wishes he'd ordered a car service instead of offering to DD. We kid, we kid. But really, it looks like the girl power is overwhelming.
All jokes aside, we're happy to see Leslie, Beyoncé, and Jay Z having fun together. It's a thruple we can definitely geek out over. Jones has had her fair share of ups and downs this year, including the horrific ordeal that ensued when she was bombarded with racist and sexist tweets. Her website was hacked followed shortly after, inciting Leslie to take a break from social media. Lucky for us, she's back. On our screens, in our hearts, and ruling our Insta feeds with fabulosity.
As for the First Family of hip hop, they've been rather busy lately. Helping Hillary Clinton campaign for voters during the final stretch of the election is no easy feat, but Jay Z and Beyoncé effortlessly transitioned from political activists to supportive family and friends in just a day's time.
It's always nice to be one of Hollywood's favorite funny girls and a budding movie star, but it's extra nice when you get to hang with Jay Z and Queen Bey. This is a friendship that we're totally here for. Just post more pics next time, Les.
Do it for us!

Compelling leadership in all its forms ultimately depends on an ability to paint vivid pictures in the minds of others in the areas that really matter in the moment, pictures that move us to action by disrupting our complacency.
To paint such pictures requires clarity of vision to engage our emotions, for it is how we feel that ultimately moves us to purposeful action, not what we think.
Wannabe leaders will therefore always seek to play us, either by manipulating our big fears or by promising us our hopes and desires, which is why David Cameron is now stoking our economic fears and Ed Miliband is offering us a figment of hope under an alleged 'fairer' Labour regime. It is why all our political parties promise to protect "our" National Health Service against the supposed Visigoths of the private sector, but it is equally why none of them is brave enough to tackle the issue head on.
The trouble is that they all know full well that the NHS is imploding before our eyes under the exponential weight gain of our aging obese population. Just this week several hospitals had to declare major incidents as they struggled to cope with patient numbers. The NHS has made clear that a £30 billion a year black hole exists and has asked for an extra £8Billion a year, and this only if savings of a whopping £22Billion a year are achieved.
These are eye-watering numbers but at the time of an election none of our supposed leaders dares come clean with us and tell it like it is, so we are left with wannabe PM's painting pictures of the horrors that would befall if the other guy were in control but no real leadership as to how we are going to address the threat. Funding our healthcare in an aging population alongside generating the economic growth needed to fund all government work has to be the issue of our time, our equivalent of the Nazis invading Poland but we are sitting on our hands.
The trouble with politics today is that 'Ed Mlipede' can't make eye contact with the public, 'Nick Clog' talks loudly to himself, 'Nigel Mirage' speaks mainly to our fears, and 'David Come-on Come-on' says only what he thinks we are ready to hear.
Wither a modern day Winston Churchill who tells us the stark truth and lifts our spirits up to face the challenge?

Chrome Overtakes Internet Explorer, Solving Windows God Mode Malware… [Tech News Digest]
Dave Parrack May 3, 2016 03-05-2016 4 minutes
Chrome is the most popular Web browser, Windows God Mode gets hit with malware, Apple thinks you'll be upgrading soon, Google Keyboard gets a major update, and Apple Watch is improved immeasurably by Windows 95.
Google Chrome Is King, Finally
Google Chrome The Easy Guide to Google Chrome The Easy Guide to Google Chrome This Chrome user guide shows everything you need to know about the Google Chrome browser. It covers the basics of using Google Chrome that is important for any beginner. Read More is now THE most popular Web browser in the world, with Net Market Share finally declaring it as such with its figures from April 2016. This brings to an end the longtime domination of Internet Explorer, with Microsoft's much-maligned browser having been number one since 2002.
Net Market Share claims Chrome now boasts 41.66 percent of the market, up from 39 percent the previous month. Internet Explorer has a 41.3 percent share of the market in April, down from 43.4 percent the previous month. Firefox only controls 9.7 percent of the market now, way down from its peak.
StatCounter, a rival metrics company, actually crowned Chrome as the most popular Web browser as long ago as 2012, but it has taken a further four years for the numbers to align. Essentially, StatCounter and Net Market Share employ different methods to track data, leading to the difference of opinion. However, both now agree that Chrome is number one.
You may be sitting there thinking this is all meaningless because of Microsoft Edge, the Windows 10 Web browser designed to replace IE.

Malware Hits Windows God Mode
Windows God Mode being used to help spread malware https://t.co/bnOptUaDM6 pic.twitter.com/kfYGZ9vigV
— Geek.com (@geekdotcom) May 2, 2016
Malware authors are now using Windows God Mode to infect machines. God Mode has been a thing since Windows Vista, and allows users to create a special folder full of settings and control panels. This shortcuts the process of getting under the hood of Windows, and is a boon for power users.
Unfortunately, Windows God Mode How to Enable God Mode in Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 How to Enable God Mode in Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 Windows has a hidden shortcut to view all system settings at once. Here's how to easily get to God Mode. Read More can also be used for bad, with ne'er-do-wells hiding malware within one of these folders. As recently discovered by McAfee, this is the case with Dynamer, a piece of malware that hides within God Mode and can persist across reboots thanks to a dynamic executable name.
This makes it impossible to simply delete this particular variant, as the normal right-click menu options and standard command prompts have no effect. Thankfully, however, McAfee's antimalware products are now capable of deleting the threat, and everyone else can use a "specially crafted command from the command prompt" as outlined in this blog post.
Apple Promises "Great Innovation"
Since the death of Steve Jobs Is Apple's Downward Spiral Inevitable Without Jobs? Is Apple's Downward Spiral Inevitable Without Jobs? All technology companies experience peaks and troughs. Products come and go, execs get up and leave, consumer tastes change. Just look at RiM and the fortunes of the BlackBerry platform for proof. Apple is just... Read More in 2011, Apple has faced criticism over its supposed lack of innovation. The company which revolutionized various industries is now, its critics claim, just retreading old ground, delivering incremental upgrades to existing products or, in the case of the iPhone SE iPhone SE Review iPhone SE Review Apple's newest iPhone is the smallest produced by the company since the release of the iPhone 5s in 2013. Despite being crammed with the latest hardware, you'd struggle to tell the two apart. Read More , literally repackaging its greatest hits.
The most recent financials suggest there's some truth to this, as consumers have stopped handing over their hard-earned cash to the company. However, Apple CEO Tim Cook is adamant there is no problem, insisting "it was a pretty good quarter," despite not being "up to the Street's expectations". He also thinks the good times are once again just around the corner, saying:
"We've got great innovation in the pipeline, new iPhones that will incentivize you and other people that have iPhones today to upgrade to new iPhones."
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 7 later this year, but Cook referenced multiple "iPhones," suggesting there will be various models to choose from. As for the "great innovation," Apple really needs to deliver something mind-blowing to rouse people from their comfort zone, because consumers are clearly getting picker about upgrading for the sake of it.
Google Keyboard Gets One-Handed Mode
Google has updated Google Keyboard, releasing Google Keyboard v5.0 on Google Play. The update brings various improvements and new features, the most interesting of which is the one-handed mode. This shrinks the keyboard and moves it to either the right- or left-hand side to allow for easier typing with one hand. This should prove useful to those with larger phablet-style phones Fabulous Phablets: The 5 Best Big-Screen Smartphones You Can Buy Fabulous Phablets: The 5 Best Big-Screen Smartphones You Can Buy If you're going to buy a big-screen phone now, and by that, we mean something that's larger than a 5.5-inch screen and smaller than a 7-inch tablet, these are your best options. Read More .
Other improvements — as spotted by Android Police — include the ability to customize keys and add borders around each character, the ability to move the cursor more quickly, and the ability to delete entire words by sliding left on the delete key. This is the first update for Google Keyboard since June 2015, so it's a good job it was worth the wait.
Install Windows 95 on an Apple Watch
And finally, the Apple Watch hasn't exactly set the world alight as Tim Cook and company expected. Plenty of Apple fanboys and fangirls bought this unnecessary fashion accessory How The Apple Watch Won Me Over How The Apple Watch Won Me Over When Apple announced their latest gadget, I wasn't entirely impressed.

I'm now using Chrome Deluxe, known in certain circles as Opera, and I've bumped up to the Developer version. So far it's been a better, smoother experience than Chrome, aside from all of the workflow synchronization adjustments I've had to make with every browser I've ever used. I tried this many times before, but couldn't fully get into it until Opera finally introduced tab syncing between desktop/phone/every device Opera is on. Likin' it alaht.
Yay! Google finally copied the positionable keyboard from my two year old LG phone!
Dave Parrack
Did you hate Chrome for some reason(s) or do you just prefer the way Opera handles stuff?
Kelsey Tidwell
Well there's nothing I can think of that I actually hate about Chrome. It's a browser after all, and it browses. But the difference in it and Opera is mainly one of perception. Opera seems to feel better throughout for my way of working than Chrome does. I've dabbled with Opera for many years, always admiring the innovations that made it stand out to me. But it always seemed a little out of sync with the habits and methods I'd developed in Chrome and Firefox.
Since the Opera team moved over to the Chrome-based setup and have begun really progressing the feature set, I'm loving it and it finally works for me. I mean, what's not to like about free VPN??? That's in Developer only right now, AFAIK, but it's not a big thing to run Dev.
The one and only niggle I really have with Opera is a silly one. I prefer the way Chrome shows progressing downloads in the bar at the bottom of the window instead of the way Opera tucks it away up in the corner. Yeah, silly, I know. But the devil is in the details :)
If there's a negative to Chrome that makes me like Opera better, it's that Chrome's feel, themes aside, is pretty basic and functional and rigid, whereas Opera seems to breathe.
zeira
Chrome is the worst web browser by a large margin, I've ever tried.
At present I use mostly Safari, with Firefox as a secondary browser.
To replace Firefox as a secondary browser about two months ago I installed Chrome on my 2014 iMac running OS X 10.11.4, and I had a major problem with it, I couldn't solve.
When I had to search for anything it always searched only UK sites, because the search engine invariably defaulted to google.com/uk, so the first one hundred results of any search were all sites in the UK.
Very annoying, since I live in Canada and not the UK.
I uninstalled Chrome using an application which uninstalls all hidden related filed to the application to be uninstalled.
I did a cold restart of my machine, downloaded Chrome and installed it again.
The result was the same.
I couldn't re-configure Chrome to use google.com (not even google.com/ca) as the default search engine.
I contacted Chrome about this problem, but nobody could solve this anomaly.
So, I uninstalled Chrome and just forgot it does exist.
That's definitely an anomaly, and not one I've heard of before. In your case I can see why you wouldn't bother with Chrome.
I've had DOSbox with a Windows 98 install on my last three phones, mostly for the novelty factor of being able to show it to people as an idea of smartphone capabilty. I'd expect an Apple watch to at least be able to keep pace with a seven year old phone.
I'm not overly fond of Chrome. Given the choice, I think the sane option would be to pick a browser that ISN'T controlled by a huge advertising company, but all you can do is give people options and then tell them they're stupid when they choose poorly.
Is it capable beyond the novelty factor? Or is it as slow and awkward as it looks on the Apple Watch?
"Google Chrome Is King, Finally"
So we've replaced one piece of spying software with another. Whoopeee!
"Apple Promises "Great Innovation""
Apple is taking a page from the Microsoft playbook. When you ain't got nothin', promise them vaporware.
"Install Windows 95 on an Apple Watch"
Do you have to register the Win 95 install with Microsoft?
Since writing this I have seen supposed leaks of the iPhone 7 and it looks... exactly the same as the iPhone 6s. Now, that's innovation.
Innovation at Apple died with Steve Jobs. I'm sure that Apple has employees with vision but is Tim Cook smart enough to put them in charge of product development? Or has Apple turned into a mature, hierarchical company like IBM where everything must go up through the chain of command?

Q: Plotting a variable measured monthly with a variable measured yearly in the same plot (R) Here are two samples of datasets I would like to plot together on the same plot:
>head(df1)
   Date                 y
1 2015-10-01        6217.734
2 2015-09-01        6242.592
3 2015-08-01        6772.145
4 2015-07-01        6865.719

and
>head(df2)
  Year           x
1 1980          5760
2 1981          4765
3 1982          2620
4 1983          7484

Given that df2$Year and df1$Date overlap date ranges and df1$y and df2$x are of the same scale, how can I best plot y and x against time on the same plot given that x is measured only yearly and y monthly?
I imagine it will require converting Year to an arbitrary date (1980-01-01, 1981-01-01). But beyond that, other than altering my df2 data.frame to having twelve observations per year with the same x value per observation, then combining the two data.frames, I cannot think of what to do.
I would prefer to use ggplot2 if there is a solution there.

A: Can you try this out for me?
library(dygraphs)
library(xts)
rename one of your variable to match the other scaled variable
rename Year to match the other's date
then do
prep <-  cbind(df1, df2)

ts_object <-  as.xts(prep[,2:ncol(prep)], prep$Year)

dygraph(ts_object)

Note that you are providing literally NO data for me to work with here. If you can do so that'd be great. Try using dput(df1), and dput(df2), and post the output of these commands

Madeline McLaughlin, Shane Vyskocil, and Yuliandra Henriquez are just three of this year's seniors who have secured great jobs before graduation.
Accomplished Bryant seniors heading to graduation with great jobs
Mar 01, 2019, by Staff Writer
When Madeline McLaughlin '19 was applying for a position as the Assistant National Bank Examiner at The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), she knew she had to live up to big expectations. The OCC charters, regulates, and supervises all national banks and federal savings associations as well as federal branches and agencies of foreign banks, playing a key role in the world banking system.
She soon discovered, though, that her Bryant University education had prepared her to excel, and now McLaughlin is just one of many Bryant seniors who've secured great jobs before graduation. "My education has prepared me because I've had the ability to shape my coursework as I go which led to me finding what I actually like and is a good fit for me," she said.
Professor of Finance Peter Nigro, Ph.D., helped McLaughlin plan a strategy for success. "Professor Nigro sits down with everyone the first week for one-on-one discussions about what they want their career path to look like, where they want to interview, and how to figure it out," she said. Nigro personally recommend her for the OCC job.
The University's reputation played a role as well. "I think they liked that I was from Bryant," McLaughlin said, "because all of the people they've had from Bryant in the past have been so well prepared."
Adapting for success
As an incoming Economic Associate at Regional Economic Models Inc., a firm that aims to improve public policy through testing the economic effects of various decisions against high-level models, Economics and Politics and Law double major Shane Vyskocil '19 needs a combination of theory and experience. His time at Bryant, he said, gave him both.
"My education has been so integrative. I've been able to use everything that I've learned and make it into something new – and better."
"A good education is about more than learning facts, it's about learning the best ways to solve problems and being able to apply that to all sorts of different scenarios," explained Vyskocil. "You need to be flexible to be successful in life."
Studying with professors such as Edi Tebaldi, Ph.D., whose extensive experience includes working with the World Bank, gave Vyskocil an edge. "Professor Tebaldi is able to add a real-world aspect to everything he's teaching," Vyskocil said. "In class, yes, we were learning the specifics of economic theory, but he was just as concerned that we understood the big picture application of it."
The focus on real-world learning paid off. As part of the interview process, Vyskocil had to make a presentation and chose to adapt a project he had done in his Economic Growth and Policy class about the Greek economy. "I think they were pretty impressed," he said.
Yuliandra Henriquez '19 earned her new position in Travelers Human Resources Leadership Development Program for a lot of familiar reasons: her stellar academic track record, her high-level internships, her myriad campus involvements. But she's also quick to name another advantage: the people she's met at Bryant.
When Michelle Sangeloty '17, who had been a mentor for Henriquez when they both worked at Bryant's PwC Center for Diversity and Inclusion, saw that her company was recruiting interns last summer, she advised Henriquez to apply – which led to the latter's new job. "She was so helpful," Henriquez said. "She's been a very influential person in my life."
Henriquez is studying International Business with concentrations in Human Resource Management and Spanish, a diverse set of classes that prepared her for a wide range of opportunities. "I love that my education has been so well-rounded," said Henriquez. "I'm an HR management, but I'm also learning other subjects like accounting, finance, and marketing, which is great because I'm still going to need those aspects to succeed in my HR management career goals."
"My education has been so integrative," she said. "I've been able to use everything that I've learned and make it into something new – and better."

The Year According to Deuxmoi
The woman behind the anonymous Instagram account breaks down the year in celebrity news, from the biggest tips she received to who she thinks will be huge in 2022.

When the first lockdown hit in March 2020, the woman behind Deuxmoi didn't take up bread baking or puzzling. Rather, she turned to her Instagram and asked if anyone wanted to send her experiences with celebrities they'd had throughout their lives.
"It wasn't anything current because everything was closed," she says over Zoom (audio only, as she remains anonymous). "The information that was being submitted, some of it was right before lockdown or some of it was like 10 years ago — it was just all over the map of when the information was taking place."
Suddenly in September of 2020, it seemed every celebrity under the sun was both in New York and out and about, and that's when the Deuxmoi we know and love today really took off.
"One day somebody was like, 'I saw Hugh Jackman at Dante,' I think that was one of the very earlier ones. It was someone at Dante. I remember being like, 'what the f–k is Dante?'" she says of the West Village café and bar, which has become something of a celebrity magnet. "And everyone's like, 'you don't know what Dante is?' I'm like, listen, I haven't been out in six months. I also wasn't going out a lot prior to that. I think it's in the West Village. That just wasn't one of my spots."
Nonetheless, she posted the tip and used the phrasing of "spotted," a nod to "Gossip Girl." Her motivation was both the gossip angle but also to show that New York was back and restaurants were safe to patronize again, to boost support for the hospitality business in New York (where she lives and where she says most of her followers are).
"But then obviously, that sort of took on a life of its own and people just started sending me in so many sightings," she says.
Today, the account has 1.3 million followers and is a must-read for many on Sundays, when she posted all the sightings sent in over the week. Here, she chats with us about the year in celebrity news, who she gets the most DMs about and what accounts she likes to follow.
As someone who hears everything about the celebrity world, when you think about this past year who and what stands out?
Deuxmoi: "Definitely one of the first tips that I received, that I would say also turned around the way the account was viewed, was about Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde. That's definitely something that stands out and something that people were so into. Ben Affleck and JLo getting back together, that was another one. I'd say people's interests have died down a little bit, but when it first started, [Ben and JLo] was all anyone could talk about. Kim and Kanye's divorce. Ariana Grande getting married. That was kind of really secret and something I feel like that I posted about right when it happened because I got tips from their neighbors, because I think they held the wedding at her house in Santa Barbara. Jennifer Lawrence being pregnant. [These are] things that I heard about before they became public. Scarlett Johansson being pregnant. The pregnancy ones were blind items. And then obviously Kim and Pete now. That's a big one. That was something that I was actually really surprised about. I didn't know anything about it until it was public."
Who were some of the breakout celebrities of the year?
Deuxmoi: "I don't know if this person would be considered a breakout, but definitely someone who everyone is talking about right now is the 'Outer Banks' couple, Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline. Their relationship and the speculation behind their breakup and their getting back together or not back together. Are they friends? Are they not friends? That's a hot topic amongst my followers. Timothée Chalamet, he has a huge fan base. And he had 'Dune' this year. He has a cameo in 'Don't Look Up.' He's filming 'Willy Wonka.' So I don't know if you would necessarily call him a breakout star, but he's definitely someone of interest. Harry Styles, maybe a breakout star in acting since everyone is very eagerly awaiting 'Don't Worry Darling.'
"Oh, duh, Nicholas Braun. I knew I was forgetting somebody else. It's almost like I have PTSD from his name. [Editor's note, if you don't follow Deuxmoi, the 'Succession' actor is one of the most often submitted sightings, both around New York City and on dating apps]. I think that he's so accessible because you see him walking around the streets of New York City, you see him bartending at his bar [Ray's]. You see pictures of him talking to normal girls at his bar, and you see him out and about, so I think to these young women who are so attracted to him, they're like, 'wow, I could actually date him.'"
Who do you think is going to have a big year next year?
Deuxmoi: "I feel like Zendaya will continue to rise, 100 percent. I know people get so mad that I don't say she's A-list, I just think she's still too young. But I think she's definitely on her way. Selena Gomez, she's pretty big, but I mean, I don't know if you've seen 'Only Murders in the Building,' but she's really good in that. And I heard she wants to do more acting. I know her fans are dying for new music, but I heard that she wants to focus a little bit more on acting, so I think that as she continues to get more roles, I like her acting, I think it's really good.
What celebrities are you surprised have such passionate fan bases?
Deuxmoi: "A very random one is Lauren Graham of 'Gilmore Girls' fame. She has a fan base, and I have to say on record, they are the most polite group of people. Every time I post a sighting, and I only post it because I know people are fans of 'Gilmore Girls,' they're like, "thank you so much. We were worried about her."
"I don't think that when I started this account, I knew the level of passionate fans for some of the superheroes, like Chris Evans, Henry Cavill. That surprised me. Colin Jost has this secret fan base that I never knew about. Chloe Fineman is another one."
What were some of the biggest "what?" moments of the year?
Deuxmoi: "I guess the obvious answer is Kim and Pete. I don't think anyone could top that duo getting together. I think actually I was onto Kourtney and Travis early on. It wasn't a tip. It was a fan who noticed that they were both posting about 'True Romance,' which was Travis' favorite movie. And then Kourtney very shortly after posted something about 'True Romance.' Sometimes the fans get it right. Sometimes their speculation is so crazy and so off base, I'm like, you guys got to stop. But sometimes they get it right. A fan posted it and for fun, I was like, 'OK, let me post this.' And I posted it and somebody confirmed."
What are some of your favorite accounts to follow in the celebrity gossip sphere?
Deuxmoi: "I pretty much check Page Six Instagram stories every day because it's easy to read and they link all their articles. I'll check Just Jared. Page Six, I'll check their Instagram stories. Just Jared, I'll check their grid. They always have good paparazzi pics. And the Daily Mail, I will go on their website. That's really it. There's no secret Instagram accounts that I really check, which I do on purpose because I like to post the information that is directly given to me from my followers. I don't like to post information that I see other places. That's why I just try to keep it tight with those three."

This helps to avoid random searching and wasting time by getting lost in stacks upon stacks of top dentists in the market place today. Once you have narrowed down the area or goal of location for your top dentist, then gather the numbers or contact info to communicate with them. Then you can decipher whether or not they are meeting your needs and comfort level. There are many of them out there, so enjoy your search and wait to find the one that makes you feel that there is a good fit. Good luck !
It is quite fascinating to see the journey of cosmetic dentistry before and after. The process is an art form and can go very good or not so good depending upon the surgeon and the preparation to make everything go as smoothly as possible. You don't want a rushed surgery. Gathering the information for pre surgery is essential. Once this is together, then the cosmetic surgeon can begin the surgery of cosmetics and remold parts and rebuild structures to make a lovely appearance of our oral area. In the recovery there will be some soreness and pain, but medication mild or severe can be used to diminish this.
Cosmetic dentistry veneers are very exciting specimens in the oral world of cosmetic dentistry. The beauty of rebuilding and structuring is the art itself. Cosmetic dentistry really is an art form. Like all arts, the gift of beauty comes into play. Some cosmetic dentists have a gift that blows many minds. Imagine open your eyes and looking in the mirror at your new veneers after a cosmetic surgery has been performed. The smile will light up our world. Enjoy the gift and talents that are out there in the cosmetic dental world !

Apne (अपने) (angielski: Ours) to bollywoodzki dramat sportowy i rodzinny wyreżyserowany w 2007 roku przez Anil Sharma, autora The Hero: Love Story of a Spy i Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Po raz drugi ojciec Dharmendra i jego synowie Sunny Deol i Bobby Deol zagrali razem (poprzednio w Dilagi). Kobiece role zagrały Shilpa Shetty, Kirron Kher i Katrina Kaif. Film nakręcono w  Chandigarh, Rajkot, Bangkoku, w Australii, i Toronto. Tematem filmu jest miłość między ojcem i synami. Miłość, która dopuszcza pojawienie się urazy, żalu za niespełnienie oczekiwań, niemożność przebaczenia, dojrzewanie do pojednania się, aż po pragnienie poświęcenia za siebie życia. Film zajmuje się też tematem sportu: wysiłkiem i wytrwałością koniecznymi przy treningu, przyjmowaniem przegranej, wygraną.

Film był dobrze przyjęty przez widzów w Indiach. W recenzjach chwalony był za grę grającego ojca Dharmendra.

Fabuła
Baldev Singh Chaudhary (Dharmendra), zwany przez swoich fanów "Tygrys z Pendżabu" zdobył dla Indii na olimpiadzie srebrny medal w boksie, ale zwycięstwo zostało podważone. Przeciwnicy wspomagani mafią zadbali o to, że oskarżono go niesłusznie o doping. Na 15 lat został zawieszony w sporcie, co spowodowało koniec jego kariery. Rozżalony, oburzony próbował walczyć dalej, 10 lat trenując na zwycięzcę swojego starszego syna Anganda (Sunny Deol). Oczekiwał, że Agand zwyciężając na mistrzostwach świata ocali jego honor – lecz syn w pewnym momencie zapragnął inaczej ułożyć sobie życie. Ożenił się z piękną Simran (Shilpa Shetty) i zaczął odnosić sukcesy w eksporcie rolnictwa bogacąc się i zdobywając wysoką pozycję społeczną. Ojciec poczuł się opuszczony i zawiedziony przez syna. Nie chce go widzieć, nie chce z nim rozmawiać. To rozdarcie boli ich, boli żonę Baldeva (Kirron Kher) i jego młodszego brata Karana (Bobby Deol), który stał się popularnym piosenkarzem. Ojciec przeżywa swoje życie jak nieudacznik. Nie potrafi zapomnieć przeszłości – chwil zwycięstwa i hańby. Żyje tym, szuka możliwości zadośćuczynienia. Zawiódłszy się na Angandzie, teraz pokłada nadzieje w Gauravie (Aryan Vaid), którego przygotowuje do mistrzostw. Traktuje go jak trzeciego syna. Tym bardziej wstrząsa nim wiadomość, że Gaurav nie wierząc w sukces treningu u trenera nieudacznika, zmienia klub. Ratując ojca przed utratą sensu życia, Karan decyduje się trenować boks, aby wywalczyć dla ojca upragnione przez niego zwycięstwo.

Motywy Bollywoodu
 W filmie wspomina się o medalu olimpijskim ojca, pokazane są sceny z treningu, na ringu walczą kolejno obaj bracia. Wielki sportowiec traci twarz z powodu oszkalowania. Zwycięstwo w sporcie buduje jedność narodową i dumę z Indii, podobnie jak w  Chak de India. Motyw sportu występuje też m.in. w Iqbal, Nigdy nie mów żegnaj, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. W tym ostatnim filmie, jak i w Ghulam grani przez Aamir Khana bohaterowie walczą na ringu.
 Bracia Karan i Angad okazują sobie dużo uczucia. Cieszą się ze swoich sukcesów. Karana boli odrzucenie Angada przez ojca. Angad walczy, aby pomścić skrzywdzonego na ringu, gotów jest zostać dla niego dawcą do przeszczepu. Motyw miłości braci pojawia się też m.in. w Czasem słońce, czasem deszcz, Ghulam, Karan Arjun, Trimurti (film), Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Naksha, Jestem przy tobie, Yeh Dillagi, Kisna, czy Sarkar.
 Ojciec modli się w świątyni sikhów zapatrzony w modlącą się śpiewem żonę, aby pozostali małżeństwem także w następnych wcieleniach. Rodzina modli się podczas walki Karana na ringu, modli się o jego życie, gdy zostaje on znokautowany, Angad zaczyna walkę od słów, że czuje się mocny modlitwą ludzi, którzy go popierają i kibice odpowiadają mu modlitwą. Ojciec decydując się na poświęcenie życia za syna, idzie przedtem do gurdwary, świątyni sikhów. W filmie pokazana jest modlitwa sikha, kibiców, hinduistów, czy przyjaciela ojca muzułmanina. Motyw modlitwy, jedność wiary niezależnie od wyznań i skuteczność modlitwy oddającej los w ręce Boga można zobaczyć też w m.in. w Chup Chup Ke, Coś się dzieje, Gdyby jutra nie było, English Babu Desi Mem, Guddu, Aitraaz, Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Chaahat, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Guddu, Gdyby jutra nie było, Home Delivery: Aapko... Ghar Tak, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd., Waqt: The Race Against Time, Żona dla zuchwałych, Vaada i wielu innych.
 W filmie młodszy syn tak bardzo kocha ojca, że aby pomóc mu zarzuca własną pasję śpiewania i trenuje dla niego boks. Ojciec gotów jest poświęcić życie, aby uratować umierającego syna. Widok ojca, jego wiara w syna przywraca mu na ringu siły umożliwiając zwycięstwo. Motyw miłości między ojcem i synem pojawia się też m.in. w Baabul, Chaahat, Nigdy nie mów żegnaj, Viruddh... Family Comes First, Waqt: The Race Against Time, Sarkar, Więzy miłości, Hum Tum. Czasem miłość ta przybiera dramatyczną formę jak w ostatnich trzech wymienionych filmach w Apne, Aa Ab Laut Chalen, Devdas, Ogrodnik czy Eklavya: The Royal Guard, czy Czasem słońce, czasem deszcz lub Ghulam.
 Motyw miłości wieloletniego małżeństwa. On patrzy urzeczony, gdy ona modli się śpiewem w świątyni. Ona tuli synową, gdy okazuje się, że ta też rozumie jego cierpienie. Ten motyw miłości małżeństwa z dorosłymi dziećmi spotyka się też w wielu innych filmach m.in. Ogrodnik, Veer-Zaara, Czasem słońce, czasem deszcz, Baabul, Viruddh... Family Comes First, Więzy miłości, Aap Ki Khatir i in.
 Nowy Jork. Tu rodzina przyjeżdża, aby syn w obronie honoru ojca mógł walczyć na mistrzostwach boksu. Tu wszyscy przerażeni patrzą, jak walczy o życie jeden z synów. Tu całą noc rozmyślając pod padającym śniegiem ojciec przygotowuje się na poświęcenie życia dla syna. Inne filmy z nowym Jorkiem w tle to m.in. Jestem przy tobie, Nigdy nie mów żegnaj, Tara Rum Pum, Zakochać się jeszcze raz, Aa Ab Laut Chalen.

The Chinese government sincerely welcomes government officials, business communities, exhibitors and professional purchasers across the world to participate in CIIE and to explore the Chinese market. We would like to work with all countries, regions and international organizations to make CIIE a world-class Expo, providing new channels for countries and regions to do business, strengthen cooperation and promote common prosperity of the world economy and trade.
GCCCC has reserved a booth at CIIE to showcase products and services from Norther Kentucky, Greater Cincinnati and Greater Dayton region.
For a full presentation of the trade mission details, meetings and outcome and impact on the local regional economy, please send your inquiry to info@china-midwest.com or call 513.501.3087.

Why businesses should harness the power of rewards
Advertisement feature.
Redeeming rewards, earned on credit and charge cards, can have a tangible impact on a business. Most small business owners who collect rewards, use them to make savings on day-to-day business costs, boost spending power or for making those emergency purchases.
A valuable perk for staff
However, the benefits extend beyond purely the financial, with increasingly more small businesses seeing them as a way to treat staff more regularly and to improve motivation. This can mean anything from an outing or occasion paid for by rewards, to gifts such as a free flight. Essentially they offer the ability to reward staff for loyalty, great sales results or outstanding performance with no cost to the business.
Business owners surveyed told American Express that they are keen to address their work/life balance and reduce stress this year. An alternative use for rewards could help with this, redeeming them to pay for a hotel for that well-earned holiday or to have a day away from work to plan what comes next for the business.
Despite these many advantages, more than half of the UKs small business owners are still paying for business purchases using cash, cheques and cards that do not offer such benefits.
On a national scale, this means that small businesses are spending an estimated 7.6bn** that could be earning rewards and go some way to help bolster business finances.
Every small business wants their money to work hard for them, so it makes sense to have the right tools in place to make this happen.
For example, core business expenses from raw materials, inventory and supplies, to larger capital expenditure such as office furniture – could be put on a business card, which would mean that rewards could be earned on almost every pound spent.
View the above infographic in full
Rewards in practice
With an American Express Business Card rewards are earned for virtually every pound spent, but there are also many other business benefits:
Using a business card helps to keep business and personal finances separate;
It enables better management of cashflow and frees up cash for business growth, as extended payment terms are available (with American Express thats up to 54 days);
It enables supplier payments to be made upfront meaning better relationships can be built; and
This upfront payment also means stronger terms can be negotiated as early payment discounts could be secured.
American Express is currently offering new American Express Gold Business Charge Cardmembers a welcome bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points when 3,000 is spent in the first three months of Cardmembership. Plus the first year annual Card fee of 125 is offered for free. Visit the site to find out more.
If you'd prefer a Card without any rewards, other features or a Card membership fee, an alternative option is available the Basic Business Card.
1. All introductory offers are subject to change, can be withdrawn at any time and are not available if you currently hold or have held any other Membership Rewards enrolled American Express Cards in the past six months.
2. If you are approved for an account and spend 3,000 on purchases on the account within the first three months of Cardmembership, 20,000 bonus Membership Rewards points will be awarded onto your account.
3. With this offer the first years Cardmembership is complimentary and then the annual Cardmembership fee is 125. From year two of your membership, a 125 annual Cardmembership fee will automatically be charged to your account on or after the anniversary of your account opening date.
4. You will earn Membership Rewards points for transactions charged and billed to your account at the following rates: one point for virtually every full 1 spent and charged per transaction, two points for virtually every full 1 spent and charged per transaction at major airlines, car hire, rail, cruise, lodging and travel package/agencies, and two points for virtually every equivalent 1 spent in a currency other than UK sterling outside of the UK at a non-UK registered merchant, with the exception of internet transactions.
5. Membership Rewards points are not earned on Cash Advances, American Express Travellers Cheque purchases, Foreign Exchange, Fees and Interest Charges for Returned Payments, Finance Charges, Late Payment and Referral Charges, Fees/charges including joining, annual and Membership Rewards fees.
Read the full terms and conditions.
Applicants must be 18 years old or over. Approval is subject to status and terms and conditions apply. The American Express Gold Business Card is offered by American Express Services Europe Limited. Registered Office: Belgrave House, 76 Buckingham Palace Road, London, SW1W 9AX, United Kingdom. Registered in England and Wales with Company Number 1833139.
*The American Express UK Small Business Barometer was commissioned by American Express and conducted by market research and online panel experts, Toluna. The research polled 250 UK based small business decision makers qualified as Directors or C-level Executives in businesses with under 100 employees in the UK. The data was collected in June and July 2014. This data has been extrapolated to represent all small businesses nationally.
**Total number of UK businesses with fewer than 100 employees = 1,193,810 (source: BIS business population estimates 2013). 54 per cent of those surveyed didnt have a card with rewards. 54 per cent of 1,193,810 = 644,657. Average annual average spend on cards among those surveyed is 11,782.76. 11,782.76 x 644,657 = 7,595,838,713.32.

Samsung Galaxy A50 could be Sprint exclusive in the U.S.
By Hillary April 23, 2019
Samsung recently unveiled a series of new Galaxy A phones and right in the middle of the pack is the Galaxy A50. The phone comes with some impressive specs and features packed in a premium-like design, a huge battery, a tri-lens camera, and it even has an in-display fingerprint scanner.
The A50 is already selling in India and a bunch of other countries and apparently, a U.S. launch is looming. A certain Galaxy A50 handset with model number SM-A505U has stopped by the Bluetooth SIG and history tells us this is a model meant for the U.S. market. This model also stopped by the Wi-Fi Alliance earlier this month, but its the latest development that brings finer details.
Usually, this model should be heading to U.S. carriers and while this is still the case, it seems the Galaxy A50 could be a Sprint exclusive offering in the country.
As always, we don't get any other significant info from the listing apart from the Bluetooth version, but as noted earlier, the A50 is already among us and we have details of the full specs, as listed below.
6.4-inch 19.5:9 FHD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-U display
Exynos 9610 processor
4GB or 6GB RAM
64GB or 128GB expandable storage, up to 512GB
Tri-lens 25MP + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (depth sensor)
25MP selfie camera
Android 9 Pie with One UI
Extras: Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C, 15W fast charging, in-display FPS, 3.5mm audio jack, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, etc.
In India, the Galaxy A50 goes for INR 22,990, an equivalent of $330. If anything, the device should arrive in the country priced anywhere between $350 and $500.

What is your MBGN story?
Well, MBGN was unplanned for me,I actually wanted to participate in Elite Model Look this year,I already attended the casting at Enugu and I was selected so I was awaiting the final national casting in Lagos.I went to enquire about a modelling agency where I could enhance my catwalk skills and I heard them talking about MBGN form sale which was ending next week.I thought about it but I was hesitant at first because of the stories behind pageantry but I told my mum and she was very supportive of it so I told a friend of mine to pick the form for me a few days to the audition.I was nonchalant towards the audition because I felt pageants in Nigeria were not genuine,I kept on contemplating whether to forgo it and just continue with my plans for the elite competition but I decided to go for it after all there was no harm in trying and I was selected as part of the 37 girls.I was in awe at the moment and grateful to God for the opportunity.
You won the best costume, how did you come about the costume?

How was the MBGN camp for you? MBGN camp was fun and stressful at the same time especially the exercise and the beach run(I thought I will collapse 😂). I had issues with my cultural dance so I was finding it tough at a point. The girls were so amazing and friendly especially my roommates,they were the best. We lived like sisters instead of competitors. I really enjoyed La Campagne, it was a great place to be and the food was delicious.Camp was an experience I won't forget in my life,a very memorable one.
Any word of encouragement for those that aspire to go for MBGN? My word of encouragement to those aspiring for MBGN is to go for it, believe in yourself,do not let anyone discourage you or talk down about the pageant in order to dissuade you. It is a journey you can never regret embarking on. Give it your best,put God first and have fun because at the end of it all,the 37 girls are all queens.

The turn of the year is marked by various things that are expected to dominate in the future. No exception with the prediction of the 2022 fashion trend, which will be dominated by bright colors and various motifs.
"In the last two years, people like lilac and pastel, I see that next year it will be predicted that colors will not be pastel, but bold," said Allyssa Hawadi as Co-Founder of Yarn Jarum in a virtual press conference "Wonderful Harmony", several last time.
Allyssa said she saw the prediction because for two years after the Covid-19 pandemic, many people stayed at home and didn't do much outside their home. Therefore, he hopes that in 2022 things will improve and people will express themselves a lot with something more prominent.
"He said, the trend going forward is everything bold, everything out of your comfort zone. There will be many motifs, blue, electric blue, purple, neon colors," added Allysa.
This prominent nuance will also be expected to be chosen by many people and fashion lovers. "Everything is bold when I see it, and then Yarn Needles will go in that direction too," he continued.
Fashion trends with striking colors are also predicted in a report titled Pinterest Predicts 2022 received by Liputan6.com. Pinterest predicts from fashion, beauty, to travel trends in 2022.
Pinterest believes that flashy clothes will be the trend in 2022. Clothes that make you feel better in bright colors will appeal to people of all ages and genders.
In 2021, many people are looking for rainbow-inspired fashion with colorful clothes, from rainbow clothes to electric blue suits. Fuchsia dress suits will also be a lot of choice, even ombre dresses are up 95 percent on Pinterest.
In addition to striking colors, another Pinterest prediction 2022 fashion trend is a chessboard-style checkered pattern that will be back in popularity. Men who want to be more stylish will also like this motif, including wearing a chessboard motif suit. This chessboard-style motif trend is dominated by millennials and boomers.
There are also all-gothic fashion trends, ranging from gothic casual clothing, gothic style baby clothes, to gothic-style kitchen decorations that are predicted to become trends. Interestingly, his Gothic pajama searches were up 165 percent on Pinterest.
"The trend in 2022 I see we will go back to 1970 to 1995. There will be brown lipstick, intense blush, and pale eyeshadow," said Nanath in a virtual press conference "The Future of Make-Up: Finding The Keys to Create The Next IT Look by Artisan Pro and Nanath Nadia," some time ago.

Archduke Joseph Diamond
I will never understand why diamond cost as much as they do. I understand that they are beautiful and somewhat rare, but are they really worth the cost especially with all the synthetic diamond options out there for much less.
Someone out there, however, disagrees with my thinking which is why Archduke Joseph's colorless diamond got a record $21.5 million bid at Christie's Tuesday auction in Geneva. The diamond was estimated to only go for $15 million, but ended with about $6 million more. This $21.5 million grab was more than triple what this same diamond received almost two decades ago.
The seller of the diamond was Alfred J. Molina, chairman of California jeweler Black, Starr & Frost. Apparently there were two main bidders, the winner, who wished to remain anonymous, donated the diamond for display at a museum. While I think it is a nice gesture to donate the diamond for display, it's a shame that so much money be wasted on a diamond that will just be sitting there for people to look at.
What I find most fascinating about this diamond though is it's history. The diamond is named after the great-grandson of both a Holy Roman Emperor and a French king, Archduke Joseph August of Austria. He then passed it on to his son Archduke Joseph Francis, who kept it in a bank vault. Eventually it was sold to an anonymous buyer who kept it in a safe during WWII. It then resurfaced at a 1961 auction in London, and then in 1993 at a Genevea auction, where Chritie's sold it for $6.5 million. Now about 20 years later it sold again. What a shame that such a beautiful diamond has spent most of it's existence sitting in a vault and safe, and now sitting in a display.

APK Google Play Store 2018 Free Download – Google Play Store Version 8.0.73, Google Play Store 2018, Download Google Play Store APK For Android, Google Play Store APK Latest Version 2.82, Google Play Store APK, Google Play Store APK 2018, Google Play Store APK For Android, Google Play Store APK Latest Version, New Google Play Store APK 2018 | Wish to review an Android app on the Google Play Store but as well lazy to produce or log in to your Google And also account? If you responded to indeed, then you will certainly be pleased to find out that this will not be a prerequisite any much longer.
That's proper. This news was confirmed by a Google representative to on-line magazine TechCrunch.
"The Google Play Store will certainly not need you to have a Google+ account to create evaluations anymore. In an e-mail to TechCrunch, Google confirmed the information that 'a G+ profile is not should publish a testimonial,'" reveals the magazine.
The information that users might quickly not be required to own a Google Plus account if they wanted to write an app review was first brought to light by Android Authorities, which cited a tip off from viewers.
Numerous customers reported that they might not identify the "G+" join the Play Store. When a couple of individuals attempted to post an evaluation sans a sign-in using their Google And also account, they were remarkably successful.
Google is now apparently pushing out the brand-new change across Google Plus accounts, with numerous individuals reporting that they are now able to put up testimonials on the Play Store without an account on Google And also.
Formerly, Google's plan determined that just individuals with a linked Google And also account had the ability to publish an app evaluation on its Play Shop. Nonetheless, now the demand has actually been quietly eliminated by the firm.
The modifications is likely being rolled out in stages as several individuals have shared that the G+ symbol is still noticeable and also the choice to publish an app evaluation without signing in to the profile is still not feasible.
The elimination of the need of a Google Plus account to upload an app testimonial is not the only modification the business has pushed out. Google has additionally eliminated the "+1" voting option for any one of the apps in the Play Shop. This alternative formerly showed to a customer's Google And also good friends that they might look into an app a customer gave a thumbs up to.
Google has actually been attempting making small alterations to its stopped working social networking site, which completed five years this July.
In July 2015, the business delinked Google Plus from YouTube comments. In February this year, Tech Times reported that Play Games did away with the Google And also demand, replacing it with Player IDs.
It has been evident for some time that an adjustment is coming for Google Plus. The removal of the Google And also represent an app testimonial will definitely be appreciated by Play Shop individuals as it makes the process much less troublesome.


Are you tired of wasting money on gym memberships that you never use? Are you ready to take control of your fitness and finally accomplish your weight loss and strength building goals?
If going to the gym consistently has never worked for you before, why not try something new? By bringing the gym to you, you never have an excuse not to get in a workout.
To set up a home gym that has everything you need, start with these eight pieces of equipment.
Dumbbells are incredibly versatile. If you want to build strength but are not ready to invest in barbells and more expensive equipment, a set of adjustable dumbbells are a great place to start.
The best part about an adjustable set is that you do not need a lot of room to store them, and they are often more cost-effective than buying separate sets of dumbbells in a variety of weights.
Most adjustable sets usually start at 3-5 pounds and can be adjusted up to around 50 pounds. Over time, you may need to invest in some heavier weights, but the maximum of 50 pounds will be plenty for most beginners.
Many people forget to work on balance training during their workouts. However, good stability and core strength are essential. They will help you perform better in other areas of your life, inside and outside of the gym.
A BOSU (both sides up) or balance ball is a great addition to your home gym to help you improve your balance. They do not take up much room and are very versatile. Use them for sit-ups, planks, push-ups, and even lower body movements like hamstring curls and hip thrusts.
Treadmill: The most basic piece of cardio equipment, a treadmill is perfect for walking, running, and doing HIIT intervals.
Elliptical trainer: This piece of equipment is a great low-impact option for people who suffer from knee or back pain. It is also better for multitasking, so you can read or watch your favourite TV show while you use it.
Rowing machine: Rowing machines are another good alternative for people who want to improve their cardiovascular health but suffer from back or knee pain. They do not place a lot of strain on these areas (as long as you are using good form).
Jump rope: Do not have room for a cardio machine? Buy a simple jump rope, instead. Jump ropes are affordable and easy to store. Jumping rope also gets your heart pumping very quickly, so your cardio workout will be more efficient but just as effective.
It is also important to make sure you have a place to stretch and cool down after your workout. If your home gym is in the garage or another area with hard floors, a comfortable yoga mat is a must. Mats also make ab work, push-ups, and other floor exercises more enjoyable. Look for a mat that is about five-eighths of an inch thick, so you will get a little more cushion than you would with a standard yoga mat.
If you are looking for a more affordable option than adjustable dumbbells for resistance training, you cannot go wrong with a set of resistance bands. Most sets cost less than $40 and come with four or five different resistance levels, so you can scale your workouts as you get stronger.
You can also buy resistance bands and loops to use in conjunction with weights for an added challenge. Resistance bands are easy to store and, since they are so lightweight, are highly portable. Take them with you when you travel so you never have an excuse to miss a workout.
Pull-ups are one of the best upper body exercises you can do. They work the biceps, lats, and forearms all at once. A pull-up bar is a great piece of equipment that can easily be hung in your doorway during workouts.
If your home gym is close to other rooms in your house that you frequently visit, consider leaving it up all the time and do a few pull-ups every time you walk past it. Even if you can only do one or two pull-ups now, that will soon change if you stick with them.
You can also take the pull-up bar down and hold onto it when you do push-ups to take some pressure off your wrists.
A medicine ball is another great option for people who are not ready to or do not want to use weights during their workout.
A medicine ball will add resistance to bodyweight exercises like lunges, squats, and sit-ups. You can also do medicine ball slams or wall balls to get your heart pumping during circuit workouts.
In addition to stretching post-workout, foam rolling is another important component of a good cool down.
When you are finished working out, it is tempting to head off to the shower and get on with your day. But, if you spend ten or fifteen minutes rolling over the areas you targeted during your workout, you will encourage blood flow, which will help prevent soreness and promote faster recovery.
You can also foam roll before your workout as part of your warm-up to activate the muscles you want to target and loosen up.
At-home workouts are perfect for people who want to get in shape but struggle to make it to the gym before or after work.
With these eight pieces of equipment, you will have no trouble getting in a good workout when it is most convenient for you.
When you work out at home, you also get the added bonus of not having to wait for equipment or worry about whether or not the last person who used it cleaned it properly!
