He wrote, “#UriTheSurgicalStrike emerges the FIRST HIT of 2019… Indeed, 2019 has started with high josh… Sets the BO on ..... on Day 3… Packs a solid total in its opening weekend… Fri 8.20 cr, Sat 12.43 cr, Sun 15.10 cr. Total: ... 35.73 cr. India biz. #Uri #Hows The Josh.” Earlier, trade analyst Girish Johar had talked about Vicky Kaushal being the film’s USP, “Definitely people are looking forward to seeing Kaushal as a military officer after he delivered good performances last year. He is one of the USPs of Uri.” Uri has received mixed reviews. The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave it 2 stars and wrote, “Uri: The Surgical Strike is slickly made, and on the whole keeps you watching despite some clunky passages.” She added, “It’s always good to have movies in which the soldiers look real, and the conflict is taken seriously, even if the action is buoyed by such dialogues as ‘unhe Kashmir chaihye, humein unka sar’. If that’s not jingoism, I don’t know what is. The Pakistani bigwigs are shown as a bunch of not exactly incompetents, but incapable of matching up to the Indians.” -Internet LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Today your sensitivity joins forces with practicality. Intuitive insights could come to you today, and you might express your new ideas to others, Libra. Don't be surprised if they accept them. Your unconscious mind is on a far more practical track than you may assume. ScORpIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) : Today shows the promise of being a very busy yet fulfilling day, Scorpio. Enterprises involving corporations, churches, or other groups in your community are likely to benefit from your participation. You combine intuition with practicality in everything you do. You're especially communicative and good at dealing with others. Don't be surprised if public recognition comes your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) : - Your financial success over the past several weeks may seem too good to be true, Sagittarius. It might make yet another leap forward. This should make you happy. It also could bring up your insecurity over whether or not this cycle will continue. cApRIcORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): You're flying high at this point, Capricorn, enjoying the success you've achieved over the past several weeks. Today you could accomplish yet another goal, adding to your feeling of accomplishment. You might plan a vacation or perhaps return to college. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19): Today you might have insights as to how to advance your career. These could come your way through dreams, sudden revelations, or perhaps visions. Don't hesitate to put them into action simply because of the unorthodox way they come to you, Aquarius. Some of the most progressive and successful ideas have come because the inventor had a vivid dream. pISceS (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : All your relationships should be especially warm and supportive now, Pisces. This is a great day to form a business, personal, or romantic partnership. Business partnerships made now should be successful, while committed romantic bonds entered into today could well last for a long time. On and off the endless treadmill of fitness trends Face-o-Metrics, taught at Alexander’s department stores. In 1969, The Times declared that exercise studios, particularly those run by a certain Russian émigré, had become as modish as restaurants. Women who were attuned to aspirational signifiers like the right hairdresser or, as the article said, "that little jewel of a manicurist". Penelope Green Do you remember Face-o-Metrics? How about FloMotion? Or kitchen calisthenics? Me neither. But The New York Times recorded these and many, many other modern fitness fads, an exhausting - and often poignant - chronicle of pain, gain and some very peculiar practices. Taken as a whole, the paper's coverage of the last half-century of exercise recalls the old joke, Samuel Johnson by way of Oscar Wilde, about second marriages: a triumph of hope over experience. In the mid-1960s, companies like Shell Oil offered their female employees a program of self-improvement: five weeks' worth of exercise, posture, etiquette and fashion titled Personality Workshop Inc. It was so successful with "the girls," as they were called - otherwise known as secretaries - that their male managers signed up as well, to learn how to count calories, breathe properly by blowing up balloons and fling towels about to stay trim. In 1966, Face-o-Metrics were taught at Alexander's department stores. (It was an era when department stores were still gathering places, vibrant agoras for more than just shopping.) These facial workouts were invented by one Jessica Krane, the "prophet of the basic woo and the ostrich," as the paper described her. The basic woo, the article went on to say, is the shape your mouth makes "as if one were uttering a very intense woo" - go on, try it - and its practice, with variations, promised to erase lines around the mouth. The ostrich, designed to banish double chins and jowls, required leaning your head back as far as possible. Another exercise was to obscure your age, if you were a woman older than 25. The article portrayed Krane's own face as being wrinkle free, though it pointed out, rather nastily, that she did look as if she were over 25. In 1969, The Times declared that exercise studios, particularly those run by a certain Russian émigré, had become as modish as restaurants. Women who were attuned to aspirational signifiers like the right hairdresser or, as the article said, "that little jewel of a manicurist" - these included a copywriter from Cosmopolitan, a filmmaker's assistant and the wife of a television personality - were drawn to places like Alex & Walter on West 57th Street, where they might hang from rings like circus performers or real gymnasts. More populist was an establishment that cannily operated across the street from Macy's, where fashion collided with reality on a daily basis. The trauma of the dressing-room mirror greatly benefited the Health Spa, as it was blandly named, which saw as many as 400 clients a day. "Hot pants, especially, have gotten us a lot of clients," its proprietor said. Operating under the principle that "all women are sisters under their leotards," the place was a favorite of switchboard operators, flight attendants, bookkeepers and, notably, Phyllis Chesler, the second-wave feminist author and psychologist, who offered, as the reporter wrote, "the women liberationist point of view." "Physical health is important to women," Chesler said. "And they don't get the same opportunities that men do to exercise their bodies." Speaking of hot pants, The Times reviewed a curious piece of apparel in 1971, an inflatable "reducing" garment named for the popular short shorts. Shrinkage, not fitness, seemed to be the goal; the contraption was tested by a 32-year-old woman and a 16-yearold girl, both of whom were identified as overweight in a jaw-dropping expression of rigid beauty standards that would surely have inflamed Chesler. "The teenager is about 30 pounds overweight according to insurance industry statistics," the article said flatly, adding that she was "extremely athletic, and has won several swimming and diving trophies." Neither tester lost inches, but their legs were Working out is one of the most common New Year resolutions. sore from the routine, which was grueling by any standards. Also, the Hot Pants leaked, making them potentially more toxic than their messaging. One can only imagine what poisonous cocktail was in the garment's "thermal packs," which contained "a chemicallyimpregnated sponge that produces heat." In 1973, two years before it went out of business forever, Arnold Constable, a carriage trade establishment on 40th Street and Fifth Avenue, offered working women lunchtime exercise classes. (Open since 1825, it was once the city's oldest specialty store, and a favorite of Eleanor Roosevelt's.) One teacher performed her version of yoga and calisthenics in the windows, hoping to lure passers-by into her classes. The female reporter who had written so trenchantly about aspirational exercise also covered the Arnold Constable window act, in an article that included this unsisterly sentence: "Women shoppers, including one 200-pounder, looked on in envy." Oh to have been a participant in kitchen calisthenics, taught by Suzy Prudden, a co-author of I Can Exercise Anywhere, published in 1981. Couples wielding salad spinners whirled furiously to "Flight of the Bumblebee," among other classical favorites that had been set to a disco beat. "When you've finished making the salad, you'll be very tense," Prudden was quoted as saying, "so that means it's time for the shakethe-salad-dressing exercise." When the movie Flashdance landed in 1983, with a sweaty flourish of leg warmers and scissored-up sweatshirts, its "calisthenic pornography," as Janet Maslin put it in her review, was more than just filmmaker Adrian Lyne's fantasy. To remind: Jennifer Beals (and her uncredited body double, a French dancer named Marine Jahan) played a welder who also worked as an exotic dancer, and dated her older boss. Young women had already begun to sport leg warmers as a fashion statement, though not, as their forebears did, to signal an allegiance to the ballet barre, but to prove membership in a new tribe of aerobics fanatics. Led by instructors who had become celebrities by virtue of their ability to bark exhortations that could be heard over the chorus of "It's Raining Men," they imagined that contorting to Pat Benatar would be a transformative experience. -IndianExpress
SPORTS TUESDAy, JAnUARy 15, 2019 9 Lionel Messi scored his 400th La Liga goal on Sunday, a total his coach Ernesto Valverde called "monstrous - his numbers are stratospheric, incredible. He is from another galaxy." Photo: AP ‘Monstrous’ Messi scores 400th La Liga goal, sends Barca five points clear Sports Desk: Lionel Messi scored his 400th La Liga goal on Sunday, a total his coach Ernesto Valverde called "monstrous", as Barcelona terrorised Eibar to reclaim their five-point cushion at the top of the table, reports BSS. Messi drove the ball into the bottom corner after being teed up by Luis Suarez, who added two goals to his own tally either side of the Argentinian marking another historic record at the Camp Nou. "It's monstrous," said Valverde, after the 3-0 victory. "It's easy to say but you have to score them one after the other, it's a long-term job. "His numbers are stratospheric, incredible. He is from another galaxy." Victory saw Valverde's side restore their advantage over Atletico Madrid, who had briefly cut the gap to two points after beating Levante earlier in the day. "There is a lot of time left," Valverde said. "It is a good cushion but nothing is done yet." Real Madrid won too, beating Real Betis, to ensure Spain's big three all prevailed in the same round for only the fourth time this season. Real remain 10 points adrift of Barcelona. Messi, meanwhile, extends his own hefty lead as the division's all-time top scorer, which currently stands at 89 goals, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, now at Juventus in Italy, owns a better goals-to-game ratio, with his 311 strikes coming in 292 matches. Messi's quadruple century arrived in his 435th. In fact, it was one of Messi's quieter nights in terms of performance and in another team it might have been Suarez or Philippe Coutinho picking up the plaudits. Suarez assisted Messi, applied a classy finish and was on the end of a scintillating team move for Barca's first. Coutinho was the provider for that one and delivered a sparkling display to appease those doubting his future at the club. The Brazilian has endured a spell out of Valverde's preferred starting line-up but he converted a penalty against Levante in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, and was arguably man of the match here. He alone supplied three passes in the build-up to Suarez's opener. Arthur Melo started it, playing a one-two with Coutinho and then into the feet of Sergio Busquets. Busquets pinged the ball left to Coutinho, who twice exchanged with Suarez before the Uruguayan, off balance, found the far corner. Messi's moment came in the 53rd minute and it was Suarez who started it, stealing back possession after a heavy touch from Anaitz Arbilla. He bounced it off Coutinho and found Messi, who touched and rifled in. Barca were enjoying themselves as Coutinho flicked the ball over one opponent's head and Suarez did the same through another's legs. The third goal was simple, however, Sergi Roberto taking a quick throw and freeing the scuttling Suarez. With the goalkeeper out, he looked up and chipped the ball into the net. The pressure had been cranked up a notch after Antoine Griezmann's second-half penalty earned Atletico a 1-0 victory over Levante. Griezmann has now scored all of Atletico's last six goals and his latest one proved the difference in a cagey contest at the Wanda Metropolitano. "We all pull the cart in difficult moments," Griezmann said. "I cannot do anything without my team-mates." The pressure has been on Real Madrid all season but they battled to a 2-1 win over Betis for their first league victory of 2019. Luka Modric sent a thunderous shot into the top corner but Betis were in the ascendancy after Sergio Canales poked in a second-half equaliser. Marcelo had been dropped by Santiago Solari, Karim Benzema taken off with a dislocated finger and Isco remained on the bench, watching three youngsters sent on ahead of him. Ceballos, who left Betis for Madrid two years ago, was one of them. With a free-kick on the edge of the area and goalkeeper Pau Lopez leaving his left-hand corner open, Ceballos duly sent a dipping shot into the gap to snatch a dramatic win. "It was an emotional moment for him," Solari said. "A former player doing damage, football creates this kind of magic." Real Madrid beat Real Betis 2-1 despite having just 26 per cent of the ball Sports Desk: Substitute Dani Ceballos scored from a free kick in the final minutes to save Real Madrid from another setback in the Spanish league title race on Sunday, reports AP. Ceballos sent his strike through a gap in the defensive wall to claim the winning goal in a 2-1 victory at Real Betis. The Spanish giants had just 26 per cent of possession in the victory, as Betis racked up a whopping 713 passes to their 254. Ceballos, who joined Madrid from Betis before the start of last season, went on in the 74th minute to jeers from Betis fans and with Madrid on the defensive. But when Casemiro earned a foul just outside the box, Ceballos stepped up to score the goal that will take some pressure off beleaguered Madrid coach Santiago Solari. "I had a lot of confidence and was eager to show what I can do," Ceballos said. "These three points are golden." Madrid, which hadn't won in its two previous league games, moved past Alaves into fourth place, level on points with thirdplaced Sevilla, with both teams 10 points behind leader Barcelona. Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric put Madrid in front in the 13th with a shot from the top of the area. But Madrid's injury problems were compounded when Karim Benzema left the match at halftime after appearing to hurt his right hand. Betis got the equalizer in the 67th when former Madrid midfielder Sergio Canales received a throughball from Giovani Lo Celso, fended off Nacho Fernandez and poked the ball under goalkeeper Keylor Navas. Madrid was already without Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos, Marco Asensio, Mariano Diaz and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois due to injury, while Lucas Vazquez was suspended. Solari, however, still left Spain midfielder Francisco "Isco" Alarcon on his bench, even after Benzema went down. Instead he replaced Benzema with Cristo Gonzalez, a player from Madrid's reserve team. Solari, who coached Madrid's reserve team until he was promoted to replace Julen Lopetegui in October, said that he didn't have anything "personal" against Isco, or Marcelo, whom he also left on the bench. "Everyone can play, we are all part of a group. I have said so from day one," Solari said. "We can incorporate players from the reserve squad, just like is happening. Each player is important." Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric celebrates after scoring a goal against Real Betis. Photo: AP Bizarre seven-ball over dismissal in Big Bash League Sports Desk: Perth Scorchers opener Michael Klinger was bizarrely given out on the seventh ball of an over in Australia's Twenty20 Big Bash League with umpires failing to realise their mistake, reports BSS. The veteran's controversial dismissal for two came in their game against the Sydney Sixers on Sunday evening when the umpires lost count of how many balls had been bowled. It overshadowed the Scorchers' seven-wicket win and a quick-fire unbeaten 87 from Cameron Bancroft as he starts to find form again on his return from a ninemonth ban for ball-tampering. Scorchers coach Adam Voges said the controversy was "not ideal". "Obviously it's the umpires' jobs to count the number of balls in an over," he said. Cricket Australia said the incident would be "followed up". "It appears there was a miscount of balls in the over, and a seventh ball was allowed by the umpires," a spokesperson said on their website. All round South Africa sweep series 3-0 Sports Desk: Duanne Olivier, Kagiso Rabada and Vernon Philander ran through the heart of Pakistan's lower/middle order as the trio powered South Africa to a comfortable 107-run victory in the third and final Test at the Wanderers. In pursuit of a daunting target of 381, the visitors could muster just 273. With this win, the home side also completed a clean-sweep, reports Cricbuzz. When the day began, Pakistan's thinktank would have hoped for two of their mainstays, Babar Azam (21) and Asad Shafiq (65), to raise their game. However, Olivier troubled Babar by extracting variable bounce. The promising pacer who, through the course of the series, has bowled with a fair amount of venom, soon dismissed Babar with a brute of a short delivery that 'kicked' after pitching to take the glove on its way to the 'keeper. To make matters worse for Babar, Olivier's short delivery followed the batsman all the way. Olivier then castled Sarfraz Ahmed off the very next delivery. Vernon Philander, renowned for extracting subtle movement off the pitch, followed it up by dismissing the fulcrum of Pakistani's batting unit, Shafiq. With South Africa's pacers banging it short, Faheem Ashraf employed the pull to crack a few fours before flashing at a delivery outside off, only to be caught by Aiden Makram at gully. Hasan Ali, who came out to bat at the fall of Mohammad Amir's wicket, unleashed a flurry of strokes before he was dislodged by Rabada. Shadab Khan (47*) showcased glimpses of his batting skills with eyecatching horizontal-bat shots but Pakistan's innings ended in a rather comical fashion when Mohammad Abbas was run out. After slipping to a 0-2 series defeat in Sri Lanka, South Africa would be buoyed by their clinical show. Olivier was certainly the star performer for the hosts, finishing with 24 scalps at an astonishing average of under 15. Quinton de Kock (129 in the second innings) and Markram (90 in the first innings) also played their parts in helping South Africa win the final Test. Meanwhile, Pakistan have a lot of soulsearching to do. The visiting side's batsmen were found wanting against well-directed bumpers and that was perhaps the key reason behind their miserable show in the Test series. The pacers bowled with skill and heart, but struggled to match their South African counterparts in terms of hitting the deck hard. South Africa 262 (Aiden Markram 90; Faheem Ashraf 3-57) and 303 (Quinton de Kock 129, Hashim Amla 71; Shadab Kahn 3-41) beat Pakistan 185 (Sarfraz Ahmed 50; Duanne Olivier 5-51) and 273 (Asad Shafiq 65; Duanne Olivier 3-74) by 107 runs. The Proteas pacers ripped through Pakistan's batting to thump them in the dead-rubber. Photo: AP Fabregas smooth in debut as Monaco battle to Marseille draw Sports Desk: Cesc Fabregas got off to a positive start in his debut for struggling Ligue 1 side Monaco after his side gained a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Marseille at a tumultuous Stade Velodrome on Sunday, reports BSS. Fabregas, who joined the Principality club from Chelsea on Friday, struck a composed figured in the midfield as Thierry Henry's side recovered from a shaky start to earn a point thanks to Youri Tielemans' leveller six minutes before the break. The World Cup winner almost laid on a winner for Tielemans in added time with a trademark clipped pass but the Belgium international hesitated on the ball and ended up shooting a presentable opportunity to snatch a rare victory well wide. Fabregas' arrival on the Mediterranean coast on Friday was the third in January after veteran defender Naldo and France under-21 left-back Fode Ballo- Toure, who both acquitted themselves well on Sunday. The draw was a good result for a team without a fit striker and not enough available players to even fill the substitutes' bench. They remain in the relegation zone despite the positive performance and are four points from safety after winning just twice in 10 league games since Henry's arrival in October. However they have been slightly helped in the quest for survival by Paris Saint-Germain battering fourth-from-bottom Amiens 3-0 on Saturday and Caen in 16th losing 3-1 at home to Lille. Hosts Marseille began the match amid protests from fans about their own poor form which sees them down in ninth, 22 points behind runaway leaders PSG. Rudi Garcia's side are winless in eight in all competitions and as well as being well back in the league are out of all three cups after being humiliated 2-0 by fourth-tier Andrezieux in the French Cup last week. They were eliminated from the League Cup last month by Strasbourg and finished an embarrassing Europa League group stage with just one point. Fans head up a banner that read "owners, coach, players… all culpable" and barely celebrated Maxime Lopez's 13th minute opener, which squeezed under a poor effort to save the shot from Diego Benaglio. The World Cup winner almost laid on a winner for Tielemans in added time with a trademark clipped pass but the Belgium international hesitated on the ball and ended up shooting a presentable opportunity to snatch a rare victory well wide. Fabregas' arrival on the Mediterranean coast on Friday was the third in January after veteran defender Naldo and France under-21 left-back Fode Ballo- Toure, who both acquitted themselves well on Sunday. Midway through the second half they shouted "ole" when Monaco kept possession and whistled their own players when they won the ball back. When Thuavin netted what he thought was the winner 20 minutes from the end he remonstrated with supporters behind the goal who refused to cheer, drawing loud boos that were only beaten in volume when referee Mikael Lesage ruled the goal out for a foul from Lucas Ocampos on Benaglio. Earlier on Sunday Montpellier slipped further back from the Champions League places with a 1-1 draw at third-frombottom Dijon, while Strasbourg continued their claim for a European place with a 2-1 win at Toulouse. Emotional Wozniacki launches Australian Open defence Sports Desk: Caroline Wozniacki fought back tears after launching her Australian Open defence with a convincing 6-3, 6-4 win over Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium on Monday, reports BSS. The third seed won her maiden Slam at Melbourne Park last year but has since been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a debilitating auto-immune disease that has threatened to derail her career. The Dane, who is bidding to become the first woman to defend the title since Victoria Azarenka in 2013, showed no outward sign of the illness as she eased past world number 52 Van Uytvanck in straight sets. But her emotions came bubbling to the surface after the win as she reflected on returning to the venue where she made her career breakthrough after more than a decade of trying. "It's such a special feeling, I love playing back here," she said. "Last year I had some special memories and just to be able to be back out here on Rod Laver Arena is something extremely special and emotional."Now I'm going to start crying and I never cry."The 31-year-old has proved she can still compete despite he illness by winning in Beijing in October but her Melbourne campaign will test whether she can still cope with the gruelling twoweek slog of a Grand Slam. Wozniacki appeared to move freely despite energy-sapping conditions, engaging in long rallies with her dogged opponent who she described before the match as "tricky". Van Uytvanck is already a proven giant killer, eliminating last year's defending Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza in the second round in England. Wozniacki was taking no chances, stepping up own aggression and attacking the net. The Dane struggled to find her range with some returns and came close to going down a break in the opening game before serving her way out of trouble. The turning point came when Van Uytvanck defended three break points in the sixth game but conceded a fourth with a double fault.Wozniacki seized the opening and never looked back, serving out the set after 48 minutes as Van Uytvanck undermined her own cause with 18 double faults. The title holder raced through the second set, showing some nerves as she squandered two match points but finally sealing the victory on the third.
