It might, but all these years we have also seen successful shows in the same time slot. At the end of the day, it is all about how much the audience enjoys watching it. And for those who cannot be at home then, there is repeat telecast also.
|
Q. While we have mostly seen Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 contestants in the show, who else do you want to invite?
|
Right now we definitely have Khatron Ke Khiladi contestants but we also plan to get more people. Recently Usha Nadkarni shot with us and we would also love to have Krushna (Abhishek) bhai. And most importantly, it is our goal to get Rohit Shetty on the show. Although we know if he comes, woh hum sabki band bajayenge (if Rohit Shetty comes, he will make our life difficult).

While seated on Andy Cohen's couch Thursday night, Will & Grace star Megan Mullally spilled the tea about her short-lived fling with Michael J. Fox. Thanks to question from a fan caller, the actress did some time traveling to recall the handful of dates the two enjoyed in the '80s.
|
"I remember being in the car and the car pulling up next and seeing him and people screaming and going crazy," she remembered. "We went go-kart racing and I won and then, I think that was the end."
|
"I should have slowed down," she quipped.
|
Of course, the two weren't single for long after that. The actress went on to marry talent agent Michael Katcher and then Nick Offerman in 2003. Fox has been married to his Family Ties co-star Tracy Pollan since 1988 and the couple have four children together.
|
As for the secret to their 28-year marriage? Giving each other the benefit of the doubt.
|
"A lot of times he'll just say to me, ‘You know who I am, would I ever say anything to try to hurt your feelings? Just give me the benefit of the doubt,'" Pollan told People.
|
"You just have [to have] the perspective that you're behind each other's back—and it helps if you can make each other laugh."
|
Families that share a business or other financial interests can struggle like any other. But their squabbles can do more than ruin an awkward summer barbecue. At stake is the economic stability of the business as well as the financial comfort of the family members.
|
In these disputes, money can act like kerosene on the flames of family discord. The typical reaction after a fight with a relative is to take a break, but those linked by financial interests are more likely to hire lawyers and fight for what they believe is theirs.
|
In an effort to keep a bad situation from getting worse, families are turning to so-called chief learning officers to help them learn to work together. The hope is that a more aligned family will make better decisions that will benefit its members and its business.
|
The chief learning officer is well established at large companies. In 1990, Jack Welch created the role at General Electric when he was chief executive. In the last three decades, people filling this position have acted as corporate educators. Their focus is on creating programs to train employees to make them and the company more productive.
|
In family operations, the role has morphed slightly: The focus is on training the relatives to be business owners and to think about the future of the enterprise.
|
Greg McCann, founder of McCann & Associates, acts as a chief learning officer for family businesses as well as a counselor to those who want to assume his role in a family enterprise. He said that getting families to shift their focus toward unity could be difficult, but that in the long run, they had more clarity about who they were and what they wanted. And sometimes, they chose not to stay together.
|
Mr. McCann said the process started with the family itself. “We say the family defines success, but what’s needed is a definition of family goals,” he said.
|
Haws, a 100-year-old family company in Sparks, Nev., that makes drinking fountains and emergency equipment, found itself needing to redefine its corporate structure when a member of the family left the company abruptly.
|
Stephanie Kilroy, his sister-in-law and an owner of the company, said the family business hadn’t been mismanaged; it had been “unmanaged.” So the family created governance policies to help align its members and run the business more efficiently.
|
But it became clear that more help was needed, so the family brought in Mr. McCann. In the process, it decided that the best solution would be for Ms. Kilroy and her sister, Mr. White’s wife, to buy out the other relatives.
|
The task can be long and arduous. Mr. McCann said the first year was particularly intense and time-consuming because it required the families to talk about issues that they may have been glossing over for years.
|
One thing families must consider is making the leap from a family business to a family enterprise, which could comprise several related businesses, financial assets or separate holdings that allow different branches to do their own thing.
|
The families that have thought about personal and professional growth are typically the most successful; those whose members are not committed to one another on a personal level often struggle because they fail to see the purpose in keeping the business together.
|
Some families stop the process when they realize what it entails, Mr. McCann said. “They’d like to be in shape, but they don’t want to run or lift heavy things,” he said.
|
Ruth E. Steverlynck, a chief learning officer and a founding partner of Your Family Enterprise, said she spent years with her clients. She said many families thought that once they had the legal documents like wills, trusts and partnerships in place, their job was done. Likewise, they might be thinking about family governance, but still need guidance.
|
Duncan Taylor has been running Taylor Made Sales Agency, an equestrian sales and boarding company in Nicholasville, Ky., with his brothers for more than 40 years. After working with McCann & Associates, he learned his leadership style was not a good match for his brothers’ way of working.
|
Chief learning officers can help break through an impasse by showing each side how the other is thinking. Mr. Taylor said he was listening to his brothers more and asking more questions.
|
He said this revelation had come at a crucial time for them because their children were beginning to show interest in the business.
|
A chief learning officer at a top corporation earns around $140,000 a year, according to job sites like Indeed and LinkedIn, and those who work for family businesses make about the same. Mr. McCann said that he charged $400 an hour, and that the first year of a project typically ran $80,000 to $150,000.
|
Being the chief learning officer in a family-run business is different from being one in a larger company because family members have different levels of involvement. Some work in the business, while others are merely shareholders. A chief learning officer has to consider the qualifications of the relatives as well as the potential for clashes with others.
|
What most of the founders are looking for is a way for their children to run the company together or find a way to part amicably. But a chief learning officer’s role is to be realistic.
|
“I say, ‘If we roll the clock ahead 20 years, what do you want it to look like?’” Ms. Steverlynck said. Some families may not want to remain in business together, she said, while others want to build a dynasty.
|
Either way, they have to take the first step. And that’s a learning exercise for any family.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel blamed depression for the substance abuse and erratic behavior that led to the demise of his NFL career following the 2015 season.
|
"I was self medicating with alcohol because that's what I thought was making me happy to help me get out of that depression to a point where I felt like I had some sense of happiness," the former Heisman Trophy winner said during an exclusive interview on "Good Morning America" on Monday. "But at the end of the day, when you wake up the next day after a night like that or after going on a trip like that, and you wake up the next day and that's all gone.
|
"And that liquid courage or that liquid sense of euphoria that's over you that's all gone and you're left staring at the ceiling by yourself and you're back in that depression and back in that hole, that dark hole of sitting in a room by yourself and being super depressed again thinking about all the mistakes you made in your life. Where did that get me? Where did that get me except out of the NFL? Where did it get me? Disgraced."
|
Manziel, 25, also revealed that he was diagnosed with biopolar disorder about a year ago.
|
"I went a solid five months until I really fell back into a little bit of a depression where I didn't drink, I didn't do anything, but still I was going to therapy and the difference that I know this year is I started taking a look at my mental health a little bit and making it a priority in my life to where I'm taking medication for bipolar and I'm working to try and make sure that I don't fall back into any type of depression because that leads me... I know how slippery of a slope that is."
|
The former quarterback, who faced a domestic violence charge in 2016 that was eventually dismissed, also talked about what went wrong during his brief NFL career.
|
"I had a sense of entitlement about what I accomplished at the age I accomplished it and I got so ingrained only caring about what Johnny wanted even when I thought I was doing what I wanted, I was miserable."
|
Manziel said he's stopped drinking. Last year, he got engaged to his girlfriend Bre Tiesi.
|
"I can't help that my wires are a little bit differently crossed than yours. I can't help my mental makeup of the way that I was created. But I know that if I stay on the meds and continue to what I'm doing right now, I think my dad, my mom, Bre, I think would all agree that they've seen a drastic change.
|
"The question is, is that sustainable and will that be the case going forward? I would like to say yes. I have a lot of confidence that would be the case. But at the end of the day, it's to be seen. I'm still moving forward. I'm doing the little meticulous things I have to do on a daily basis to try to keep this (points to head) right and everything else means the most to me. The main thing for me is not physical health, it's mental."
|
Manziel's ultimate goal: to get back into the NFL. He said it's difficult "watching other guys do what I want to be doing" while he's "sitting on a couch being a loser."
|
For now, the last quarterback to win a game for the Browns before their current 1-31 slide under Hue Jackson will have to settle for an offer to play for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. This weekend, the QB formerly known as Johnny Football will reunite with former Browns teammates Josh Gordon and Joe Haden for a celebrity basketball game.
|
"I'm coming back from a huge downfall. I don't know what kind of comeback it will be. But I know I want to get back on the football field and do what brought me so much joy."

FIVE dead calves and two cows were found by Department of Agriculture veterinary inspectors on a County Limerick farm, Kilmallock Court heard.
|
Timothy Gleeson, of Buffanoka, Cappamore said the calves were not his and there was a delay in the knackery collecting the dead cows.
|
Elizabeth Clayton, Limerick veterinary inspector, said she and a number of officers visited an outside farm of Mr Gleeson’s on April 26, 2017.
|
“There were five dead calves in a horsebox. Three calves had no ear tags, two had ear tags,” said Ms Clayton. Two dead cows were also discovered, one lying in a ditch.
|
Answering questions from Eoin Lawlor, barrister representing the Department of Agriculture, Ms Clayton said the feed was inadequate in quantity and quality for the other cattle present.
|
All the carcasses were removed when the lands were inspected the next day.
|
Ms Clayton said Mr Gleeson was interviewed and he “maintained the five dead calves were not his”.
|
“He said he rang the knackery immediately [to collect the carcasses] after they died. He said he rang them seven times on a Saturday and was told he would be out on Monday,” said Ms Clayton.
|
Another inspection took place on July 20, 2017. The court heard Mr Gleeson was loading eight cows to be taken for slaughter.
|
Ms Clayton examined the animals. Two were “severely lame” due to overgrown hooves and were “unfit for transport”. Ms Clayton told Mr Gleeson to release them into a field and get veterinary attention.
|
Mr Gleeson pleaded guilty to two counts of transporting animals in a way likely to cause injury or undue suffering, and one count of inadequate quantity and quality of feed for the cattle present.
|
Brian McInerney, barrister instructed by Con Barry, solicitor, on behalf of Mr Gleeson said it isn’t the “normal type of farming”.
|
“Mr Gleeson purchases cull cows - end of use Friesian dairy cows. If they go lame it affects yield. He brings them to his farm and moves them onto a factory to be killed,” said Mr McInerney, who described it as “filling a gap in the agricultural trade”.
|
The barrister said the delay in the carcasses being taken to the knackery was due to a truck breaking down. This was accepted by the State.
|
Mr McInerney said there were “no charges in relation to the carcasses”.
|
Regarding transporting the animals, Mr McInerney said the hauliers are licensed and can refuse to bring animals on welfare grounds.
|
“The animals were transported to a meat factory staffed by Department of Agriculture officials who can prevent animals entering the human food chain.
|
“With the benefit of hindsight he should not have transported them but they could have been rejected by the authorities and the hauliers,” said Mr McInerney, who added that the cows weren’t on Mr Gleeson’s farms for weeks.
|
Judge Marian O’Leary said any person who has possession of cows for any length of time should “look after them”.
|
Mr McInerney said his client has pleaded guilty to three “considerably reduced charges” and and an extreme penalty was “not warranted and not just”.Mr Gleeson was fined €1,000 each on the transportation counts and €750 for inadequate feed.

ANDRE GREEN has revealed why he had no doubt about joining Pompey.
|
The Blues’ new attacker turned down interest from a host of Championship clubs to make Fratton Park his home for the campaign, as he agreed a season-long loan from Aston Villa.
|
Blackburn, Norwich, Ipswich and Bolton were all keen on the 20-year-old, but Pompey were the club who appealed as the move accelerated quickly.
|
And being a central figure in a promotion bid was a big pull for the highly-touted talent.
|
Green said: ‘It was nice to know the clubs were interested. It’s nice to feel wanted again.
|
‘But it’s good to feel I’m going to be part of something here.
|
‘It was interesting to know those clubs were looking at me, but it was a no-brainer knowing the history of the club and how the fans have stuck by their team.
|
‘To come to Portsmouth was an easy choice for me. It’s a massive club to be here and it’s exciting.
|
‘I need to play regular football. I can’t wait for Saturday to come around now and get stuck in. It’s really exciting.
|
‘The move all happened very quickly. It was done in a day.
|
‘But it’s nice to know I’m coming to a club who are going to be challenging this season.
|
Green is looking to find his feet after being hindered by hamstring problems last season – and can see himself operating out wide for Pompey before moving towards a role at the heart of Jackett’s starting XI.
|
He added: ‘I’m going to need a run of games to get my confidence back and be the player I was.
|
‘When you have an injury like mine and are away from the boys you forget yourself and how you are.
|
‘The manager’s understanding. It may be hard to fit straight in as a number 10 in a position I haven’t played before.
|
‘But he spoke to me about where I’ve been on the left my whole career and that’s where I’ve been comfortable.
|
‘That’s one option but I can play across the front three.
|
‘I have to prove myself. Perhaps the thinking is for me to play on the left and prove what I’m worth.
|
‘Then maybe I can go more central, be the heart of the team and create chances.

Among Steven Seagal’s dubious achievements in the last decade are his recently granted Russian citizenship and this trailer for Contract To Kill, which is not, as you might expect, a straight-to-DVD release. No, Contract To Kill—not to be confused with Hard To Kill, which also starred Seagal—will have a proper theatrical release but will also be available on iTunes (in case your local cineplex isn’t screening it). The subject of Seagal’s latest film is virtually the same as all the other, triptych-titled works. The sluggish martial arts star plays a CIA/DEA agent named John Harmon, who teams up with Russell Wong and a beautiful distraction (Jemma Dallender) to investigate Muslim terrorists.
|
The trailer features Seagal puffing out his lines in between halfheartedly chopping guys in the neck, but remember—this is just another day at the office for him and his character. Speaking of which, it’s unclear if Harmon & Co. have been contracted to kill someone, or if they’re in someone else’s crosshairs, but we guess that doesn’t really matter. You can sign on the dotted line when Contract To Kill premieres December 9.

Actor-director Rajat Kapoor (in pic) has said he has tried to be a “good human being” all his life and apologises from the “bottom of his heart,” after a woman journalist accused him of “lewd” and unprofessional behaviour.
|
Kapoor tweeted his apology on Sunday after a woman journalist gave a detailed account of how he made her feel uncomfortable when she went to interview him in 2007, the latest expose in what is being called India’s #MeToo moment.
|
Though her editor gave her the option of not filing the interview, she filed it, the journalist said. In hindsight, she said she regrets going ahead with it and should have reported the incident. By not doing so, she may have encouraged the director’s “sense of entitlement that he can behave unprofessionally and in a lewd manner and get away with it - even with a journalist,” she said.

VatorNews | How does Virta Health make money?
|
According to the American Diabetes Association, 30 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, while another 84 million are at risk. The cost of that care comes to $322 billion a year.
|
With that kind of opportunity, a number of technology companies have stepped up to the plate to try to tackle it, including Glooko, which provides a tracking device that focuses on patients with diabetes, as well as Omada Health, a company that tries to help prevent diabetes by helping patients change their behavior and patterns. There's also Lighthouse, a digital patient care program for people living with diabetes, and Siren, the creator of Siren Diabetic Socks, which are designed to help people with diabetes avoid amputations.
|
One company that is taking a different track is Virta Health, which looks to reverse type 2 diabetes and other chronic metabolic diseases without the use of medications or surgery, rather than simply controlling it through medication or monitoring the disease.
|
Virta Health has developed a treatment that directly addresses the root cause of type 2 diabetes through a system for delivering continuous remote care through technology. That means it has doctors and physicians on the back end making clinical decisions in real time, along with a clinical protocol to reverse insulin resistance.
|
Patients start with lab work and a televisit with a doctor, which allows the company to develop a personalized treatment plan. Then there are two phases for the Virta Treatment, the first being diabetes reversal, followed by the longer term success phase.
|
In the first phase, the company puts the doctors and scientists into the pocket of each patient through their smartphone, which allows them to monitor the patient's vitals remotely. Virta's clinical team analyzes what's gong on and, based on that, might adjust medications or nutrition or behavior. That is iterated on a daily basis until the type 2 diabetes is reversed. For the long term success phase, Virta then makes sure that the diabetes stays in remission, so it uses less clinical decisions and more daily problem solving about what might get the patient off track.
