Online content, whatever type of media it may be in, should be born out of effort. It must strive to provide thought-provoking question and answers or show solutions, all from deep-seated industry issues and down to mundane situations. Since the Internet is full of different kinds of content – articles, images, infographics, and videos – >developing one that has an edge over those scattered is essential.
Whenever possible, create evergreen content. It is timeless, valuable, high-quality and canonical. Evergreen content is important because the primary purpose of posting online is not to garner popularity or gain leads, but to provide information that can be used in every season.
Below are five tips to give you an overview of how evergreen content is made:
1. Write for beginners
In writing evergreen content, targeting experts is not advisable. These specialists already know a lot about your topic, and may even write it themselves. Also, experts won't search for something that they already know. It will make your content useless and put your efforts to waste. In the process, you may even spark a debate that might create speculation about your authority. Instead of focusing on your article, this type of diversion might just delve into the controversy created.
In its place, write for those who have a lot to learn and are very interested in your topic. These are people who are eager to read everything about their preferred topic because they want to acquire all the necessary knowledge they need. There are beginners everywhere, every time, so you aren't likely to lose your audience base immediately.
2. Narrow down your topic
Reading about a broad, generic topic can be boring. It is long and has no clear direction, since it aims to cover all the aspects of a topic. This will prove to be impossible, unless you do it in chapters. Generic topics are found almost anywhere on the web but doesn't cover all the desired areas readers need to know. They are written in a manner where the details aren't complete, which doesn't really give much value to its audience.
A specific topic is more appealing to readers since it is tailored for a definite audience. It is easier for both the reader and the writer to create content from a smaller aspect of a wide topic, since much of it will be shorter and the details are more precise. These are content that cannot be found anywhere else that only experienced, insightful writers can make.
3. Make it an actionable step-by-step guide
How-to articles and infographics are big online. Readers turn to online information because they want to grab instant but helpful and doable results. This kind of structure allows the reader to try to digest the information first before jumping to the next.
Dividing the content into sections allows the reader to understand the points better and not be confused with huge chunks of texts. It also suggests that you know what you are talking about since you are able to break it into smaller parts while maintaining the main idea.
Make sure that the information you are going to include are doable and realistic. They should also be compelling enough to be tried by your audience and not some generic guide. It should be something they haven't read before or a simple twist of the usual how-to's.
4. Regularly update content
Once your piece passes the standards of an evergreen content, it should be regularly updated. There may be developments that should be included in your article, such as recent events that may be cited as better examples. There may also be sentences or paragraphs that can be deleted to make way for newer information that are more useful. The deleted parts are not obsolete information; it's just that there are fresher ideas that can overtake them to provide fresher content.
People will always refer to your content whenever they need reliable information, so it's necessary to update your post with data that will be helpful to readers. Evergreen content should be able to relate to its audience. If there are terms that are not used widely anymore, the writer should be able to find a similar word that is relatable.
It is better to make adjustments than create a new version. Creating a new post takes time and extra effort. It also disregards the readership and social shares the content has acquired over time.
5. Avoid being too technical
The ability to impart your message using plain language is necessary to create evergreen content since you are talking to beginners, not experts.
Avoid using jargons in your post unless absolutely needed. When using them, however, always put a footnote or an explanation of the term so as not to lose your audience. Remember that the point of creating content is to share new knowledge. If it fails to fulfill its purpose because of complicated terms, it's not worth anyone's time.
Be confident that you can deliver your ideas in simple sentences. You can play around with words while maintaining its simple nature. Even if you are knowledgeable in the topic and subconsciously want to brag about what you know through using scientific or technical terms, do not make it hard for your audience.

Given an array of N integers which denotes the edges of N cubical structures respectively. Also given are M integers which denotes the number of peoples. The task is to find the maximum amount of volume of a cube that can be given to every person.
Note: Cubes can be cut of any shape from any of the N cubes.
Input: a[] = {1, 1, 1, 2, 2}, m = 3
Output: 4
All three person get a slice of volume 4 each
Person 1 gets a slice of volume 4 from the last cube.
Person 2 gets a slice of volume 4 from the last cube.
Person 3 gets a slice of volume 4 from the second last cube.
Input: a[] = {2, 2, 2, 2, 2}, m = 4
Output: 8
Naive Approach: A naive approach is to first calculate the volume of all of the cubes and then linearly check for every volume that it can be distributed among all M people or not and find the maximum volume among all such volumes.
Time Complexity: O(N2)
Efficient Approach: An efficient approach is to use binary search to find the answer. Since the edge lengths are given in the array, convert them to the volume of the respective cubes.
Find the maximum volume among volumes of all of the cubes. Say, the maximum volume is maxVolume. Now, perform binary search on the range [0, maxVolume].
- Calculate the middle value of the range, say mid.
- Now, calculate the total number of cubes that can be cut of all of the cubes of volume mid.
- If the total cubes that can be cut exceed the number of persons, then that amount of volume of cubes can be cut for every person, hence we check for a larger value in the range [mid+1, maxVolume].
- If the total cubes do not exceed the number of persons, then we check for an answer in the range [low, mid-1].
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
Time Complexity: O(N * log (maxVolume))

Kittiwake Towers are artificial cliffs that are created to provide a nesting site for Kittiwakes. There are two along the River Tyne.
In 2001 a tower was built in Gateshead to house 300 pairs of Kittiwakes that were displaced when the Baltic Flour Mill was transformed into the Baltic Art Gallery. The Tower is located downstream from the Baltic and has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve. It is maintained by Gateshead Council.
Kittiwake Towers are usually constructed to provide an alternative nesting site for Kittiwakes when they are deliberately prevented from nesting on a building that already hosts a colony. This might be because the building is going to be demolished or renovated or because the Kittiwakes are no longer compatible with the use of the building.
In 2014 a Kittiwake Tower was built and installed at the Port of Tyne as part of the redevelopment of the port. We understand that there are also other artificially created Kittiwake nesting sites at Suffolk (UK) and Boulogne Sur Mer (France).
The Gateshead Tower has been successful and we have learnt a lot from this project, however this work is still experimental and it remains to be seen whether displaced Kittiwakes can always be persuaded to use artificial sites or whether they will voluntarily move to such structures.

Planning for retirement is something that millions of people have to think about at some point. Many people don't want to even think about a time when they are old and they feel as though they will be young forever. Planning for retirement is crucial as it gives you time to save for those later years when you aren't going to be working and need some financial security to look forward to. Waiting for too long to come up with a plan for retiring can be costly and a big regret. People can start now by saving money for their retirement with the use of some handy accounts that are specifically designed to help people save for retirement years. Well-planned retirement should be something that includes rest and relaxation and not stress about money.
One of the most popular kinds of retirement plans in the world is known as a 401k plan. 401k plans are types of investments and savings for those that want to have money set aside for their golden years. Millions of people use these accounts as their primary meanings of saving for retirement. Most people sign up through their human resources department upon their hiring. Companies often match employee contributions up to a certain percent or amount as an incentive for a job well done. A main benefit of the 401k plan is that it gives account owners flexibility that others do not. One of the possible flexible options is being able to borrow from the account in times of need.
This is a great thing to be able to do if there is ever a financial crisis that couldn't be foreseen. The popularity of these plans also boils down to the fact that there are some potential tax benefits to using them for savings and contributions. One of the benefits that people can experience with a 401k plan is that their contributions are often after-tax contributions that help with taking home more on a paycheck. People should refer to a tax professional or accountant to find out their specific tax benefits. Accountants and financial experts can also advise you on the best way to invest your money for your personal financial goals. A great benefit of 401k plans is that they can be opened at any time during a career so that people can begin saving immediately for the future. People that are self-employed can also open one of these accounts through some of the companies that offer them specifically for people in their unique situation.Smart Tips For Finding Funds

Yell at your Senator, or listen to your neighbors? Another use for Govluv and Twitter.Posted: November 13th, 2009 | Author: Chris Berendes | Filed under: Govluv, Twitter | Tags: linkedin | 1 Comment »
Govluv, a new Twitter-based tool, provides a geographically-organized directory of political and governmental leaders along with their Twitter handles. It also allows politicians to identify tweets from their constituents. It is billed as a way for "connecting government representatives and citizens", for a "more productive two-way dialogue".
However, I had an experience yesterday that suggests it may have another important use.
I was reviewing my Govluv home page, headed up by President Obama, and I noticed this tweet:
I did a quick search and replied to @chosen7stone:
She graciously retweeted the information and thanked me.
A minor interaction all around, and certainly not one that will find any deep resonance or response in the White House. Yet I think that the dynamics highlight what may be one of the more important uses of tools such as Govluv.
Obama was not part of the conversation, not part of the two way dialogue. Instead, he served as context, and the important, indeed the only, interaction was between two citizens. What if this became a primary use of Govluv?
For instance, it's not surprising that Senator Harry Reid, the Majority Leader, is getting a lot of tweets from his constituents regarding Health Care Reform. Instead of waiting for his office to reply, what if constituents discussed the issues with one another, e.g by providing facts on how a particular bill would affect Nevada? Or what if supporters of a particular position, e.g. the Public Option, used the tweetstream Govluv provides to find one another and organize further?
Our fascination with our political leaders should not keep us from talking, or tweeting, with one another on the issues. Think of @BarackObama and @SenatorReid as hashtags convening conversations, not just handles.

FaithWriters Great Multitude Christian Daily Devotional Inspired by Rev 7:9-12
More Than Enough by Bob Valleau
"Jesus wept" (John 11:35) are two of the most powerful words in the Bible. They show Christ's humanity over the loss of a loved one, Lazarus. They depict our God as kind and caring and deeply involved in the affairs of mankind.
How many times have you cried over the loss of a loved one? How many times have you grieved about the death of a family member or a friend? The death of a family member or a friend is never easy to deal with, especially when it is sudden or as the result of a lengthy illness. Yet, we don't have to suffer alone in our sorrow. Jesus, who was fully God and fully man, is touched with the feelings of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). He can relate to our pain, and He wants to offer us His comfort of love.
"But," you may ask, "is He enough to heal me from the hurt of my loss?" Of course, and we have a promise even before He stepped into His earthly suit for service: "...weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5, American KJV).
It's natural to weep and to grieve over the death of someone you knew or whom you held dear to your heart. But the feelings of loss don't have to last forever. Allow Christ to infuse you with His love and realize that He is more than enough to comfort you and to carry your sorrow.

PHP or Mangoo customization
Budget $20-100 USD
I have a few sites that I want to install CMS (open source). But the freely available installations are demo, and needs to be customized.
There will not be any design work. If PHPNuke, templates will do fine, just logo and contact informations etc needs to be eddited, and look/scheme of the site needs to be organized.
One of the last few project posted was offering free work. This may be a good opportunity. If everything is well, you may even get a gift check. This is not a certain but related with the performance.
Good luck to you all.

As our former player and noted journalist Des McKeown reminded us on Saturday, it`s now been 29 long years since we last played at Ibrox.
It was in the League Cup in early season! We`d just beaten Albion Rovers 4-0 away and 2-1 at home but were well beaten by Rangers.
In Glasgow our then keeper Alan Davidson defied the rampent `Gers for long periods but they came down to Palmerston with a healthy 4-0 advantage.
Three days later we met at home for the second leg but went down 4-1 to lose out 8-1 on aggregate.
Drew Busby was our manager then but our young striker Rowan Alexander had just been transferred to St Mirren for a £25,000 fee.
Billy McLaren had the chance to coach the Rangers` Under-16 squad at that time but turned it down to stay at Palmerston.
It was actually way back in 1948 when we last beat the Ibrox side.
It was 3-2 on 28th of February--a date to remember! And our marksmen that day were Hamilton, Stephen and Houliston.
But that`s all history now and we must move on!
However, our most high profile battle with Rangers will be long remembered and was of course that famous Scottish Cup Final in 2008.
As we all know we were 2-0 down at half-time with Boyd and Beasley netting.
However, in the second half it was all so different!
Stevie Tosh bundled the ball home from close range in the 50th minute and just three minutes later big Jim Thomson outjumped the Ibrox defence to head home a Bob Harris free-kick and leave the `Gers fans in a state of disbelief.
Both teams had chances to go ahead but it was that man Boyd again who headed home what proved to be the winner on the 72 minute mark.
Nevertheless it was a sporting contest throughout and both sets of fans applauded the players at the final whistle.
The attendance was 48,821 with 15,500 supporting Queens.
PS At this moment in time we hear that Rangers have sold nearly 20,000 tickets and Queens over 1200.
The match itself will be live on Alba TV.
We continued our great nine game unbeaten run at Ayr yesterday to stay top of the table.
We won 4-2 with Gavin Reilly grabbing a brace to make it five goals in two games for the youngster.
So, bring on the Rangers!

With MDT 2013, it's easy to do a Sysprep and Capture of your Windows client PC. I will try to explain step by step how you create the task "Sysprep and Capture" and how you execute it on a client PC.
First, you need to create a Task Sequence with Sysprep and Capture. This is really easy. In the deployment workbench, just right-click in the Task Sequence list to create a new task sequence and create a Sysprep and Capture task. You will have to select an operating system when you create this task.
When this is done, you can run this task on any Windows operating system.
Go to a client PC in your network and open up your deployment Share folder with windows explorer: \\ServerName\DeploymentShare$. Now you should be in your deployment share. Go to the "Scripts" folder and find the "LiteTouch.vbs" file to start Litetouch.
When Litetouch has loaded, you have to select the "Sysprep and Capture" task you created earlier.
When selected, click Next and choose "Capture an image of this reference computer". Now you have to enter a name for the wim file you want to create.
Continue and the MDT should do everything for you. First, it will run Sysprep, then the computer will restart and boot to Litetouch and create a copy of your operating system.
If everything goes perfectly, you are finished and can import the wim file to your operating system in the deployment workbench. The captured file can be found in \\ServerName\DeploymentShare$\Captures\.
Typical problems
If something went wrong before or during the Sysprep, I have some fixes that may help you out.
A typical error looks like this: Expected image state is Image_State_Generalize_Reseal_to_OOBE, actual image state is Image_State_Complete, sysprep did not succeed. Failure 6192, Litetouch deployment failed, return code = -2147467259 0x80004005
First of all, I would try to do a change in the registry so open up "Regedit" and go to: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\"
Now open "ImageState" and change the value to "IMAGE_STATE_GENERALIZE_RESEAL_TO_OOBE".
If the registry fix doesn't work, try to remove any personal apps that are included in Windows 10.
If you just want to remove all apps, you can do this:
Run PowerShell and type in this command to remove all Windows 10 apps:
Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppXProvisionedPackage –online
Want to keep your drivers?
The default settings for Sysprep is to generalize your Windows 10 image by removing all drivers. If you don't want this to happen and keep the drivers, you can edit this registry key in your client PC before you run sysprep:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Sysprep\Settings\sppnp set PersistAllDeviceInstalls to 1.
If you have any questions or want to share your knowledge, please leave a reply!

Hello, thank you very much, i did look for that OOBE error for quite long enough now, some saying you would need to add a folder, you would need to start from scratch, things like that, while you have to change the regedit and that's it !

Step tower | EASTERN design office
A stark white ship that sails in the middle of the bustling sea of colors.
The ship floating on the ocean suddenly appears in a shopping center. It evokes a feeling not of a resort area, but of an exotic corner of a town in some southern country. A feeling of a ship that comes across this area by chance.
It makes you imagine the wave splashes that occur when the bow heads-on through the sea. It is a pencil building of 9.7 meter width and 21.6 meter depth. Big holds are designed for the balconies at the southwest corner. These holes become bigger as the floors go upwards from the bottom. You can have the same image when you look up the bow from under it.
It is simple, neat and clean.
You look up the smooth and pure white exterior wall. This reminds you of a cool life style in some southern country, or of being on a trip, and spending days at a tropical land in a quest of change of air.
It is an apartment house for rent built at Ibaraki City in Osaka, a town with a population of 270,000. This town is not only a residential one, but it is now calling for the development of industrial areas for research and development facilities of universities and industrial firms. Therefore, the population is also increasing as an industrial town. This architecture is built at the shopping district, the center of this town, which is located in front of the JR station.
'Step tower' is a building of 10 stories of RC structure consisting of: a tenant spaces at the first floor, one room apartment houses for singles at 2-4 floors, and 2LDK and 3LDk for families at 5-10 floors.
The surrounding buildings are 4-5 stories height. So it is not proper to have a big slit (opening section) for this building. The open space of each floor gets wider as the floor level becomes higher, and you can get a wider sky view. This idea is reflected in the design of this building.

If you have access to the specifications from the manufacturer of your windows, we can use them to fabricate new insulated glass units. The specs should include drawings of the glasses and the dimensions. We also need to know the overall thickness of the glass unit and the color of each piece of glass. We will enter it in our software and fabricate new glass units for you.
After the units have been fabricated, we will ship you the new glass units for installation in your frames. If you would prefer, you can bring us the coach or frames and we can install them for you. Having the glasses made in advance from the specs will decrease the downtime of your coach. This is a perfect option for full timers who need several frames done at the same time.

A lot is being said and written in the media as to how to ensure that the contesting politicians would be honest and conform to the requirements of articles 62 and 63 etc. There are hundreds of ways and means to filter out the bad from the good and the ECP would be thinking seriously of implementing those methods. However, may I suggest only two measures which would, apart from many others that the ECP would be using, make the task of the ECP very easy?
The first being 'eFiling': All contesting candidates should file their nomination papers and the various documents – tax returns, utility bills, and bank statements electronically, which the ECP should upload on its website immediately for all to see and report any discrepancy noted by the general public. If the papers of a candidate are found fraudulent that means he has tried to cheat with intent and knowingly. He should, therefore, be punished most severely for this act. He and his immediate family should be debarred from taking part in any elections at least for 10 years. Political Party's Responsibility: No one knows better and more than the political parties themselves about the credentials of their candidates. The party should be made accountable for allocating the tickets to their nominees. In that, if the nomination papers of more than 25 percent of the candidates of a political party are rejected by the ECP, that party as a whole should be debarred from participating in the elections.

Immigrants: Makers, Not Takers
Share: http://bit.ly/16kzaI2 | Facebook | Twitter
Saying that immigrants can only be dependent takers is an insult to the American Dream.
Connect: We need leaders fighting to make the American Dream possible for more Americans, not undermining it.
Define: Saying that immigrants can only be dependent freeloaders who will always take more than they contribute is insulting the American Dream.
Discredit: The Heritage Foundation report on immigrants assumes that aspiring citizens who start in poverty will always end in poverty and have children who stay in poverty -- no matter the opportunities to work hard and get ahead in America.
Debunk: Even conservative leaders agree that giving immigrants a real chance at earned citizenship is a net boost to our economy as they move into jobs paid on the books, start their own businesses, and pay taxes -- boosting American workers' incomes along the way.
Reaffirm: Creating a real road to citizenship instead of creating a second class of people does more than just reflect our values as Americans. It will pay off for the rest of us and the economy.
For more Attacks & Responses, click here.
ATTACK: "Citizenship for undocumented immigrants will be a net burden on Social Security."
- The Social Security Administration reports that immigration reform with citizenship is a net plus for the Social Security system, boosting its finances by almost $300 billion over the long haul.
- Many of these immigrants already pay nearly $15 billion in payroll taxes into Social Security each year, even though they cannot claim any benefits due to their undocumented status. The immigrant population is also very young and years away from retirement age.
- As they move from the underground economy to jobs on the books, immigrants with legal status also pay higher taxes and earn higher incomes -- also making it harder for employers to undercut other workers' wages by exploiting cheap immigrant labor off the books.
- A real immigration reform deal with a real road to citizenship isn't the threat to Social Security -- it's politicians who want to cut the Social Security income that our seniors have worked and paid for with each paycheck their working lives.
ATTACK: "Loading up immigration reform with LGBT issues will derail it."
- New Americans who contribute to our communities, pledge allegiance to our country and want to add to America's greatness should be able to stay in America with their families. Legislation like the Uniting American Families Act would make that possible.
- Family ties to your loved ones don't end at the water's edge. But right now, children from binational families face the very real chance that they may be separated from one parent or forced to leave the only country they know as home.
- That's because federal law doesn't recognize married same-sex couples' marriages, meaning that they can't sponsor their family members for citizenship like other Americans can.
- Our immigration laws should keep families together. It's not the American way to tear families apart or make families choose between staying together with some of their loved ones and leaving some behind.
- Three out of four Americans, or nearly 75%, agree that immigrants in the country who meet certain requirements should have a way to stay legally.
- The conservative organizations and leaders who have discredited the Heritage Foundation report include the Cato Institute; Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform; the American Enterprise Institute; Doug Holtz-Eakin, prominent conservative economist and president of the American Action Forum; Haley Barbour, former RNC chairman and Mississippi governor; Sen. John McCain; Sen. Marco Rubio; and Rep. Paul Ryan.
- Credible studies show that our immigration system is so dysfunctional now that by reforming it, we would generate over $1.4 trillion in economic growth and boost Americans' personal incomes by nearly $800 billion.
- In fact, in recent years, the metropolitan areas with the fastest economic growth also had the greatest increases in immigrant workers.
- Research clearly shows that immigrant workers help grow the economy overall, leading to lower unemployment and higher wages for those of us already here.
- Even with highly skilled workers, higher immigration increases the demand for workers, stimulates investment, and promotes specialization for many workers already in the labor force.
- In contrast, trying to round up and deport 11 million people would cost us a quarter of a trillion dollars and cost our economy billions.
We develop messaging by aggregating, analyzing and distilling polling, tested messaging, and expert recommendations, and monitoring the media to identify what is and isn't working. See here for some of the experts and organizations we draw on.

CHICAGO – Fact or fiction is a current debate in news programming, especially as people naturally digest "the news" that makes them comfortable. A new five-episode web series created by filmmaker Ashton Swinford, "Miss Information," is a satire-oriented show that seeks to entertain and educate viewers on the bias, fake news and bot infiltration that litters social media.
'Moana' is Walt Disney Pictures at its Breezy Best
Rating: 4.5/5.0
CHICAGO – "Moana" is a solid example of the time honored Disney musical. It is exactly the sort of sun drenched warm weather beacon we residents of cold weather climes can enjoy as the holiday season approaches, and it a refreshing change from another spin of Mele Kalikimaka.
In many ways "Moana" is more fun than this season's other relentlessly upbeat musical "Trolls." It goes without saying that a Disney film is going to look terrific, but Moana's blue waters, beautifully lush landscapes, and splashes of inventive flights of fancy are so inviting I wanted to just dive right in without giving your eye socket a cavity. There are catchy songs courtesy of "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, an appealingly spunky heroine and the Rock. And…this just might be my daughter's favorite movie of the year.
Maui and the Title Character Ready for Adventure in 'Moana'

The story centers on Moana (voice of Auli'i Cravalho), a slightly new spin on the old Disney princess. She's the plucky daughter of the chief, destined to rule, but who stubbornly wants to go her own way, and that way is out on the ocean. Her overprotective father forbids her from exploring the great waters beyond the reef of their island. It turns out that a demigod named Maui (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) stole the heart of the island goddess, and now a blackness is taking over the ocean, and will continue until the heart is replaced. So when the blackness begins to infect her own island, Moana must defy her father's orders and set out on her own to find Maui and get him to replace the heart.
This leads to an appealing road trip type comedy complete with the silly Disney sidekick, in this case a bulging eyed and not-too-bright chicken. Maui and Moana sail across the oceans to first find Maui's missing magical fishhook which gives him shape-shifting powers, and then to return the heart to the island goddess.
They are an entertaining pair, with The Rock skewering his own tough guy persona and letting his charisma fly off the screen. He also gets one of the film's best songs in the catchy character-introducing tune "You're Welcome." For my money this was one of the highlights, topped only by an appealing sojourn into the depths ruled by a giant bottom feeding turtle voiced by Flight of the Conchords Jemaine Clement, with a witty and catchy song to match.

The best of the new Disney musicals have found connections to the golden age of "The Lion King" and "The Little Mermaid," and "Moana" continues that tradition. It's directed by Ron Clements, who was responsible for both "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin." And Lin-Manuel Miranda's songs are catchy and distinctive, while giving off that same feel and spirit that we've come to expect from the best of Disney's musical numbers.
For little ones, Moana does have a couple of intense characters that may scare younger viewers. There's a particularly scary lava monster, and that giant turtle Tamatoa – who both frankly creeped my twins out. But "Moana" is a film that taps into the sweet spot of the best of Pixar, it's something kids and adults can both watch and enjoy together.

Dr Hutch: I can't afford the only greatness I have to be overlooked
The Doc finds that demonstrating his cycling superiority outside the context of a race is not as easy as he had hoped
Dr Hutch – AKA Michael Hutchinson – writes a regular column for Cycling Weekly magazine
The Doc finds that demonstrating his cycling superiority outside the context of a race is not as easy as he had hoped
A collection of wince-inducing, cringe-worthy moments endured by cyclists
When Dr Hutch visited the doc recently, he quickly had to steel himself for some bad news and adjust to the thought of six weeks on crutches
MAMIL is a clever yet misleading acronym — the Doc has therefore thought of a more descriptive and accurate term for cyclists
A jester's jersey would be just the ticket to add a little levity to the WorldTour, suggests the Doc
Horses are passé but camels and killer whales are encouraged... The Doc considers cycling spectatorship to be a sport in itself
Cyclists have an inadvertent multi-linguistic flair, muses the Doc
Attacking early is the sure sign of a nervous amateur. The truly confident athlete need never attack at all
The Doc recalls his 'assault' on the Cauberg, where he was not so much lord of the 'ring', but in something akin to Dante's ninth circle of hell
Bikes, no matter how noteworthy, were never meant to be museum pieces, muses the Doc
True cyclists don't need anything as flimsy as a love of cycling to bolster their self-identity, say Dr Hutch
"Like most bike riders, he thinks the God-given number of gears for a bicycle was the number pertaining when he got his first grown-up bike"
Simon and Adam Yates need to be recognised for their honesty in admitting that there are two of them, says Dr Hutch
Cycling's questionable morality is nothing new but now's the time to align its rules with its ethics, says Dr Hutch
Hardriders events are strictly for the soft-headed, says the Doc, who has suffered through a few himself
Dr Hutch ponders the only question that truly matters: why do you ride a bike?
It's the "trial" bit you need to worry about, not the "reliability" bit, says Dr Hutch. But just what are they? And should you be riding one?
Dr Hutch bemoans the fact that today's cycling scandals are just too damn scientific
Dr Hutch's home improvement plan comprises an opulent bicycle storage facility and a new toilet-roll holder
If you're going to pick a fight with a new rider, says Dr Hutch, then choose your target wisely
Dr Hutch looks back at the 2017 cycling season and gives kudos to the year's cycling standouts

(AP Photo/Bill Robles) View 1 more image (Newser) – The long legal road ahead for Jared Lee Loughner is beginning to take shape. Federal prosecutors will get the first crack at him, followed separately by the state and local cases, reports the Los Angeles Times. So far, the 22-year-old faces only three federal charges—for the attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords and the attempted murder of two of her aides. Plenty more will follow related to the spree that killed six and wounded 13, including some that carry the death penalty. story continues below In another development, the federal judge in the case ruled that Loughner must be escorted from Phoenix to Tucson sometime next week to provide writing samples to the FBI, notes the Arizona Daily Star. Prosecutors hope to eventually match them up against written threats found inside his home. (Read more Jared Lee Loughner stories.) View 1 more image

"Every government degenerates when trusted
to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves therefore are its
only safe depositories."
Perhaps it is a universal truth that the
loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger,
real or pretended, from abroad."
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity."
What good will it be for a man if he gains
the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?…We will have to repent in this
generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people
but for the appalling silence of the good people…We have flown the air
like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple
act of walking the earth like brothers…We must learn to live together as
brothers or perish together as fools.
When I despair,
I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have
always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they
can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it -
All that is needed for the forces of evil to
triumph is for enough good men to do nothing.
From California to Maine, the United States is teeming with good, decent and talented Americans whose potential is as unlimited as the vast expanse of the universe. Of all creeds, colors, ethnicities and religions, those lucky enough to call this great land home find themselves living in the wealthiest nation the world has ever seen. Through our hard work we can afford to live in expensive and monotonous cookie-cutter-loss-of-individuality homes made of plywood cut down from once-pristine forests in Brazil, Africa or Indonesia. We can afford two mammoth-sized gas-guzzling tank-SUVs thirsty for Latin American or Middle East oil. Merrily this holiday season we purchase and consume numerous durable and non-durable products made by developing nations' low-wage slave labor we support through our extravagant demand. And, of course, we eagerly devour the abundance of mercury and pesticide-laced, preservative-filled, hormone-induced, chemically injected, fat and sugar covered, artificially flavored foods, products, fruits and vegetables that we see at grocery stores and restaurants that are humbly provided to us by, who else, corporations.
Yes, we are gluttonous primates, one and all, swimming in an ocean of overabundance, swerving giant waves of the vast amount of trash we produce and swallowing overflowing tides of materialism on our way to do that which we have been trained so well to do: shop and consume. We must keep our corporate feudal lords happy with our tribute to them in the form of our hard-earned wages, after all. The Leviathan's feeding frenzy has begun, that special time of year when our wallets and purses are made smaller and our debts larger. To the Leviathan, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, full of materialistic joy and consumeristic merriment, so full of jolly profit and growth, cheerful pillage and exploitation. So, as we hear bells, jingles and carols, watch the hurricane-like tempest of corporate advertisements flushed onto our screens urging us to consume, see the bright twinkling lights in frenzied malls, smell our aromatic pine trees covered in decorations and feel the cold chill we all associate with joy, happiness and Christmas, keep in mind that another special holiday season is upon us. And realize that just as last Christmas, our freedoms, rights and democratic institutions stand a little less sturdy than in years past. Like a Christmas tree once so fragrant, living and robust that eventually dies, withers and is thrown out, the freedoms and rights we take for granted are disappearing and decaying before our eyes, being granted instead to the many conglomerates that make up the corporate Leviathan.
Something is amiss in this great nation, and the downward spiral begins with the Leviathan, that most ominous of creatures, spawned by the mating of debauched capitalism with unhindered power, that has taken control of our government and the representatives we elected to serve our interests. At the top of the Leviathan, acting not as its brain but as its actions, easily maneuvered by the plethora of strings attached to his appendages, is George W. Bush, the President of the United Corporations of America. Dubiously anointed to watch over this great land, he has presided over the greatest corporate leeching and raping of a nation in human history. Thanks to him, the Leviathan has: trampled worker rights, robbed us of our life savings, been granted numerous pollution spewing exceptions, transferred out hundreds of thousands of jobs to low wage slave nations, been granted billions of dollars in tax breaks and government subsidies and has had a perpetual war declared in its interests from which it will reap billions of dollars in profiteering, I mean reconstruction, deals. Installing Bush in office has had its rewards. All this, of course, to the huge detriment of you and I and the future of our progeny.
Since the coup d'etat that overthrew democracy in November 2000, a new paradigm has emerged, one in which the political battles being waged are of such importance and magnitude not just to the politician seeking office, but to the interests of the Leviathan as well. We have reached that most frightening stage in our capitalistic development whereby the unyielding and ever-increasing power of the Leviathan trumps the dwindling power of democracy by the people. Now, more than ever, the idea of democracy is but a barren façade injected into our psyches that gives the illusion that we are active participants in the direction the US is headed towards. In reality, we are nothing but pawns in a system run by the powerful elite oligarchy.
The beginning of the end of democracy as we know it began with that fatefully deceitful election in 2000. What has been the natural and inevitable progression the destructive forces of unhindered capitalism were blindly leading us towards has come to fruition. It is the mixture of government with big business, the combination of state power with that of the Leviathan, of powerful corporate-government elites and oligarchs dancing a jovial waltz of unfettered powermongering, forming one of the most perilous forces to be spawned by man. It is called fascism, brought to our nation by the fluctuating winds of ideology and fraud.
From now on, the Leviathan's puppetmasters will do everything in their capacity to control the reins of power, and this will include much more calculated, careful and clandestine usurpations of our democratic principles than the almost-botched defrauding that took place in Florida 2000. Democracy in this country is being eroded not by the sands of time but by the expropriators of the electorate.
This recipe for deception that greed has brought onto our shores is common practice in developing nations such as those in Latin America (Mexico for 70 years under the PRI being the perfect example) that purport to be democratic but in reality have run US backed quasi-dictatorships for decades. It is here where the ruling elite minority showcase the mirage of elections simply to contain the populace into a perpetual state of stupor and complacency, creating in the masses the impression that their vote counted in an election that is labeled "clean and democratic."
In the end, widespread fraud has been committed through media and government propaganda and the sheer audacity and old time tradition of stuffing and losing ballots. When it is all said and done, the powerful have their man at the helm and the illusion is created whereby the masses are made to believe that the person who received the most votes now has a national mandate to lead. Of course nothing could be further from the truth. This phenomenon is prevalent at the local, state and national levels of governance. It is a fight for power, money and control, of huge importance to a ruling party of robber barons and scoundrels that can both continue plundering the nation blind and running the nation like their own feudal estate. We are now seeing the reality of this in the US.
The power of the Leviathan is made that much stronger by having a willing puppet sitting in the White House. This can be seen in the incredible amount of laws, appropriations, tax breaks, pork, corporate welfare, privatization of government services, legal indifference, regulations and decisions made by Bush since taking office in favor of those personalities comprising the various parts of the Leviathan. These actions, by consequence, have only served to squander our rights and freedoms by trampling worker rights and wages, civil liberties, pollution laws, social services, education and the like. The pressure has also been exerted on us by creating a sense of fear amongst the population that makes it known that if we do not acquiesce to these changes, we will be labeled and attacked, as in fascist tyrannies, as being "unpatriotic," "treasonous," and "sympathetic to the terrorists." You are "either with us or against us," after all. To protest, seek transparency, accountability and the truth is to be a terrorist traitor, an "enemy combatant."
What the 2000 debacle in Florida manifests is the great lengths the Leviathan – composed of corporations, the military-industrial complex and the oil/energy cartel, and having an ignorant army of foot soldiers called fundamentalist Christians – will go to in assuring for itself the allegiance of the most powerful man on the planet. The election of 2000 simply had to be won, even by a pervasive fraud that disenfranchised voters. We will elect you but you must advance our cause. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. When the insatiable addiction of power and control intermingles inside a molotov cocktail of greed and love for the almighty dollar those who rule will do anything to stay in their perched positions of hereditary and nepotistic circumstance.
What worked in Florida was the embedding of a strong ally of the Leviathan, Jeb Bush, to the state governorship and by consequences the state electoral system, of which the notorious Katherine Harris was in control of. She was not only in charge of the election mechanisms in the state but she was George W. Bush's Florida campaign coordinator. Now, I am no hound dog, but that sure smells like a conflict of interest to me. A brother and a campaign coordinator basically deciding in favor of Bush, in a state both parties knew would decide the election.
As such, tens of thousands of black eligible voters were purged from the voting records, in essence denied the opportunity to cast a vote by covertly being labeled with a criminal record they did not have or deserve. The vast majority of these voters would have most likely voted for Al Gore. The elimination of thousands of black votes, in a state that was a virtual toss-up, assured Bush of victory, and the Leviathan the Presidency. And, since the votes were black, in destitute and indigent areas, no scandal would be brought to the public conscious by a restrained and corporate-friendly media. The planning for this defrauding of American democracy was extensive, premeditated and meticulous. It is the result of power gone insane, of the consequences of allowing crony capitalism to run rampant, full of money and greed, to corrupt a system that in 220-year-old paper, at least, seemed brilliant. The clandestine sabotage of American democracy had been set in motion.
The election was of paramount importance to the Leviathan and fundamentalist Christian concerns, and today we can see why. The takeover of America has commenced; the fusion of corporate and government power is upon us; the use of religion in government policy and comments is increasing, a police state has been engendered. Democracy is being constricted, our freedoms and rights of speech, protest, assembly and open criticism are methodically being curtailed. Opposition is being silenced, protests squashed. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution are slowly being burned into dark gray ash. Fascism is on the horizon, its black horse riding thunderously through the plains of ignorance, slashing open government treasure and releasing the winds of war in its thrust to empire. We are living in dangerous times, and, if nothing is done soon, our destiny will be forever scarred by the whips of totalitarianism on our way to the gallows of servitude.
Ignorant we grow to the coming chaos, lost among our escapes and fantasies, our patriotism and fear. The corporate Leviathan has swallowed and morphed with government, becoming one and the same, the oligarchy now in possession of the richest nation in history, controlling the most modern army the world has ever seen. The quest to duplicate and surpass the empires of Greece, Rome and England continues; death and destruction, suffering and pillage, these are the times that try men's souls and which the great books of history forebodingly warn about.
The gradual elimination of democracy begun in November 2000 has continued with the Republican redistricting battle in several states, most notably Texas and Colorado. These blatant operations are done for the sole purpose of disenfranchising mostly minority voters by reshaping districts for the purpose of making them Republican strongholds. These new districts will thus vote Republican, helping send to Congress Tom Delay's grunts and yes-men. With more firepower, the Republican party (the greater of two evils comprised of traveling salesmen loyal not to us but the Leviathan) can control more aspects of the agenda it wants imposed on the nation. There is a frightening trend taking place, one that subverts democracy throughout our nation for the sake of maintaining in power a force put in place in November 2000 that is gradually robbing us of what this great nation once so proudly stood for.
With Congress under the hypnotizing power of greed and power the Leviathan can more easily move the strings of government. It opens the door to unfettered power in the hands of Bush, who can rule with impunity and complete lack of accountability. His edicts go unchallenged, his secrets remain hidden and slowly but surely he transforms the country into a nation of serfs obedient to our feudal lords. In the vast majority of times, the Bush agenda is a spitting image of the one espoused by the corporate Leviathan that is designed to grant the beast more power to the detriment of the working masses. We are witnessing the metamorphosis of a President ordained by the powers that be to become Dictator. This mutation is transpiring before our ignorant eyes, ever so slowly, ever so clandestinely. When the day comes that our eyes open from our slumber of lethargy we will find ourselves chanting the slogans of autocracy and marching step by step with the armies of despotism.
In California, a democratically elected governor, suffering from fiscal crisis and unlikeability, was used as a scapegoat for the electorate's ills and anger and was recalled earlier this year thanks to the Republican anti-democracy movement. The Republican brains installed, through propaganda, fascination with stardom and the gullibility of the average Californian, an actor governor who can both help facilitate Bush's victory in the state in 2004 and facilitate Republican control of state government. What began with the political impeachment of Bill Clinton, ingeniously contrived to garner anger and support from millions of traditional conservative voters into a massive mobilized outpouring of votes for Bush in 2000 under the theme "restoring honor and integrity to the White House," continued with the manipulation in California. Like pawns, conservative voters were used, falling for Republican propaganda in electing Bush in 2000 and Arnold this past fall. The California coup further subverted our democratic beliefs, and we were all willing participants in the Republican/Leviathan plan for maintaining Bush in 2004.
Today, as a continuation of the Bush 2004 plan, the corporate media is already conditioning us to the greatness and virtues of George W. Bush, feeding us incessant propaganda about the "war on terror" and our President's valor and leadership abilities in times of great uncertainty. The use of fear will be applied like never before to scare us all into voting Bush back in office. 9/11 and its emotions will be exploited, the use of terror will be hammered and emphasized, patriotism and the illusion of freedom will rule the airwaves. The Democratic candidate will be subjected to the greatest smear and negative campaign you will ever see. The Leviathan's manipulations know no bounds, and this form of democratic erosion may be enough to guarantee a Bush victory next year. When so much is at stake for the Leviathan, it unleashes the fires of hell to guarantee victory.
A little less publicized but more ominous sign of the disappearance of democracy were the congressional elections in Georgia in 2002, where under dubious circumstances Democrat candidates lost elections to underdog Republicans. Now, you might say, that does not mean much, underdogs occasionally do win. What set this election apart, however, was the use of electronic voting machines, and the numerous rumors of fraudulent manipulation of software that spread throughout the state. Other irregularities (such as disappearing, misplaced, shuffled and lost votes) concerning electronic voting machines have been reported in various states throughout the country.
Much more dangerous is the exponentially-growing use of electronic voting machines around the nation that cast votes through touchscreen methods without a paper trail or auditing. Every year, more and more precincts are switching to these voting machines whose manufacturers are owned and operated by supporters of the GOP. One company contracted to provide these machines, Diebold, has in recent months been under fire for leaked emails concerning the stated vulnerability of its machines to outside tampering. Diebold machines do not provide a paper record or printout, thus lending themselves to manipulation. Of course the great worry to democracy is the fact that the CEO of Diebold, Michael O'Dell, is also a huge supported of George W. Bush who has promised to deliver Ohio's votes to the incumbent President. He has hosted a $600,000 fundraising dinner for Vice President Cheney and Diebold's board has itself contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican campaigns. Another company in the industry, ES&S, was once owned by the Republican Senator from Nebraska, Chuck Hagel.
These machines will naturally be implemented in those areas of the country that can afford them, mostly in white neighborhoods. The threat of fraud through electronic voting machines should not be taken lightly given the fast approaching election of 2004, perhaps the most important vote Americans have and will ever make. With the technology undoubtedly becoming the future, fraud will never be easier. It is hard to stuff 100,000 ballots by hand, but by computer, it is only a click away. A few thousand omissions here, a few thousand additions there and what gets created is an effortless tampering of an election and the gradual evisceration of democracy. Of paramount importance is the transparency and accountability of this growing technology. If left in the wrong hands, democracy as we know it could be a relic of history, nothing but a minor sentence in the grand book of human civilization. Fraud does not disappear with the progress of time, it evolves, and so must we.
In urban, minority areas, usually too financially strapped to purchase expensive Diebold or ES&S machines, older, outdated and easily corruptible machines are used. These machines, which have been used for years in these usually indigent precincts, have consistently been culpable disenfranchisers of the American minority. The debacle in Florida 2000 is a perfect illustration of just how many votes are never counted using outdated machines. Since minorities usually vote Democrat, it is easy to discern who benefits and who does not. This is another sleek and stealthy Jim Crow maneuver by those in power. It is the 21st century version of denying minorities a voice in how their government is run. With the growing number of people of color rising every year, it is in the oligarchy's best interest to assure that their votes are manipulated, one way or another, so that they do not interfere with the designs of those in power.
There is a method to the madness in all these anti-democracy manifestations, and that is to assure the continuation of oligarchic power in government which in turn leads to corporate Leviathan control over our nation. The intertwined weave of government and big business has begun the process of exploiting us all into the subservient serfs of yesteryear. Corporate control of the government is not a far-fetched illusion; it is reality, it is here and it is now. The Leviathan's power, wealth and greed are at their apex after years of growing, maturing, subjugating and exploiting. Never has the Leviathan yielded so much strength and influence not only in the confines of this country but throughout the world.
Simply look around you to see the reality that so many of us refuse to acknowledge. Congressional loyalty not to us but the corporate world, a President whose every act only emboldens the Leviathan and augments his own powers, a homogenous corporate media spewing brainwashing propaganda, the usurpation of laws and regulations that once protected workers, education, the environment, the sick, poor, middle class, elderly, children and women. The absurd debt and deficit figures purposely created to shift government spending away from appropriating social services and towards a permanent military economy. Our rights and freedoms are being rolled back, giving way to an authoritarian society catering and empowering only the elite oligarchs. Pollution from their factories kills and sickens hundreds of thousands each year. We are prevented from purchasing prescription drugs from outside the US. Higher education is being made harder to attain. The cost of healthcare is highway robbery, our veterans are swept underneath the rug of apathy. Our taxes support their evils, our children die in their wars, our wallets and sacrifice make them richer and our votes grant them the mandate to do with us as they please. The war against us has been unleashed.
In this assault against us, the Leviathan is slowly but surely chaining us to the dark, stagnant dungeons of fascism, or, in Mussolini's words, corporatism. The road leading to this form of governance is gradual and stealthy, but the signs all point in this most ignoble direction. After all, Hitler and the Nazis did not rise overnight; it took years of careful planning and orchestration to meticulously prepare the system, and the people. Yet corporatism has many faces and shades of gray, each form evolving differently according to the tools at the rulers' disposal. Ours is a velvet-like approach that upholds the illusion of liberty, freedom and democratic traditions while disintegrating each one in the most leisurely of ways.
Dark clouds loom in the horizon, the nefarious Leviathan is becoming omnipotent. Its claws are deeply entrenched in the soils of governance, despoiling man and land, air and water. The addiction of power is ruining a once grand system of the people, by the people and for the people, leaving us at the margins of impotence on our passage from noble country of freedom towards degraded beacon of exploitation and avarice. Freedoms we once enjoyed our children will never know existed. Rights we once shared our progeny will only dream about. A nation we once loved our offspring will learn to revile. In the course of human events, what happens in the next ten months might decide the next 100 years of human history and the combined future of over six billion people. These are indeed the times that try men's souls.
So this Christmas, in the accompanying warmth of family and in the glow of logs cracking bright, take a second to ponder our remaining freedoms and rights. Democracy is dying, the Constitution is going bust, together must we battle, before all we have is lost. To all you who care about this great nation, it is time we erupt into one vast and peaceful conflagration.

Holy moly! Look, I love pizza and some may even call me a connoisseur. And, today, I got to taste the most unique pizza to ever grace God's green earth: the 109 Cheese Pie.
So, I'm writing this with a stomach full of ooey gooey cheesy goodness. Actually, I'm feeling a little bit giddy. Like I'm almost on a food high. I didn't even know that was a thing until now. Which is why you need to try this pizza.
The 109 Cheese Pie is a record-smashing pizza that you can only get TODAY at Letizia's Pizza in Norwalk. Yes, they used 109 different cheeses to create this heavenly concoction. But they didn't do it alone.
They had the help of 109 Cheese & Wine in Ridgefield, who curated a list of cheeses that will mesh well together on a thin New Haven styled crust.
But, none of this would have happened if it weren't for Fairfield County's morning guy, Ken Tuccio. The host of First Thing Fairfield County on 95.9 The Fox first came up with the idea.
Actually, he stole the idea from Oregon and made it better. Because Connecticut just so happens to be the birthplace of pizza. Naturally, if there's any pizza records to break, they're gonna be broken here.
So, Ken contacted the guys from Letizia's about the 101 cheese pie that Oregon created, touting that they've broken the world record for the cheesiest pizza. From there, it was game ON.
109 Cheese & Wine came aboard and, bam, they smashed the previous pizza record.
Check out this bad boy:
So, I had a slice this morning, and I gotta tell you just how much I loved it. Look, if you can only tolerate American cheese, this pizza's not for you.
But, I'd try it anyway because it is technically the cheesiest pizza in the world right now. So, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity as far as I can see.
To me, I love goat cheese, so my taste buds picked up on that flavor right away. Super yum. To be honest, every bite tasted different. But a good different.
Some bites tasted like the good ol' fashioned cheese pie while others tasted richer and complex. Honestly, it was more revolutionary than that Unicorn Frappuccino. Every bite tasted different, but it was a flavor I actually enjoyed.
It's a pretty exciting experience.
Personally, I give this 109 cheese pie top marks. Letizia's and 109 Cheese & Wine effortlessly blended over a hundred different types of cheeses and made a delicious pizza. That in itself is revolutionary enough.
Also, this pie proves just how passionate Connecticut is about their pizza. We created it. We perfect it. And, when someone tries to use our invention to break a world record, we have something to say about it.
You can only taste this 1-of-a-kind pizza today at Letizia's. Hey, you can also buy yourself a limited edition celebration tee shirt, too!
Just in: the 109 cheese pizza, which uses 109 different variants of cheese, is TOTALLY DELICIOUS! Grab your slice today only at @letizias_pizza in #Norwalk and all profits go to charity! Also big s/o to @109cheese for lending your cheesy knowledge to make this happen! Cheese connoisseurs ???????? Tasted history. History tastes good.
Plus, buying a slice helps out a local charity. All proceeds will be donated to Food Rescue, which supplies fresh supplies to food insecure households.
Congrats to Ken, Letizia's, and 109 Cheese & Wine… you guys just broke a Guinness World Record!
Also, if anyone even dares to top the 109 pie… they'll just make a 150 cheese pie. Can't wait to taste that when it inevitably comes out of Letizia's oven. Yum!

Which Proteins are Best for a Dog with Cancer?
As mentioned in previous posts, I recently consulted with holistic veterinarian Dr. Patrick Mahaney as part of our dog Maggie's treatment for Osteosarcoma. Dr. Mahaney believes that when treating a serious disease like cancer, a combination of modern medicine and smart nutrition is the best approach to optimize the outcomes.
Maggie has had a series of modern treatments, including stereotactic radiation, chemo therapy, and bone strengthening medicine. We have augmented these treatments with a food and supplement strategy to help Maggie's body better deal with the inflammation and stresses of the cancer and the treatments themselves.
During my consultations with Dr. Mahaney, one of the primary areas of focus was on the Chinese medicine concept of warming, neutral, and cooling foods. For inflammatory conditions that are "hot" (like cancer), foods that are neutral or cooling are most suitable for the body.
Dry Food vs. Wet Food from a Chinese Medicine Perspective
Dr. Mahaney explained that dry food is the "warmest" form of dog food and that at a minimum, water should be added to kibble to moderate its warming effect. Wet/moist foods are more cooling than kibbles. For this reason, 100% kibble diets are not optimal for pets with inflammatory illness.
Proteins from a Chinese Medicine Perspective
Because protein is the lynchpin of a dog's diet, we discussed at great length the various types of proteins that are common in pet food, which ones we feed to Maggie, and which ones we should avoid. Thankfully, our protein choices have been good in the sense that most of the proteins that Maggie eats already are cooling to neutral. This is a byproduct of our decision to choose a rotational feeding strategy with a focus on fish and somewhat novel proteins.
Below is a summary of many of the common proteins in pet food, and how they slot into the three Chinese medicine food categories.
Cooling Proteins– turkey, duck, rabbit, fish (e.g., salmon, pollack, tuna, herring, whitefish), yogurt, cottage cheese.
Neutral Proteins– beef, pork, chicken eggs, beef liver, pork liver
Warming Proteins– chicken, lamb, venison.
As I reported last week, chicken is in 68%, lamb is in 17% and venison is in 4% of all dog foods which means that, not accounting for overlap, a pet parent dedicated to feeding neutral or cooling proteins to their dog would have to eliminate about 89% of all dog food recipes from consideration! That certainly does present a challenge, but I would argue that it is worth the extra effort to help keep the dog's body in optimal health.
One last point that the doctor mentioned about proteins was that non-specific protein "meals" (e.g. bone meal, animal by product meal) should be avoided and that meals in general are not as cooling as their more natural whole protein counterparts due to the extra processing involved in creating the meal.
Next week, I will examine the common fruits and vegetables in dog food, and then, how these slot into the different Chinese medicine categories.

that was interesting to read, many thanks. is it possible to prevent cancer when we pick only "cool food" ?

As I mentioned, Bentley is on mostly cool proteins and it has been a great help with his ear infections. His entire body is cooler to the touch. I discovered these proteins after speaking with a holistic vet. It was also after my son gave me a bunch of venison! LOL!
M. K. Clinton recently posted…Whimsical Whimzees
Interesting! Turkey and duck are among the cooling proteins yet chicken is among the warming ones. I wonder why that is? They're all fowl of one sort or another. I can understand the "meals" being warming with all the added processing that goes into their preparation. Thank you for this info!!
Callie, Shadow, and Ducky\'s Mom recently posted…Ducky's Disappearance/Shadow's Nonchalance
I had heard of the concept of warm and cool proteins, but didn't know where the different meats fell. This is definitely something I want to be aware of, since we want to be sure that Sheba stays cancer free. Reading Melissa's comments, it seems like this helps other conditions as well?

You should really start your own line of SlimDoggy food. This is all so complicated but if you had SlimDoggy food with the right stuff, no one would need to worry! We will help market it!
Emma recently posted…Spoil Your Dog With #PetSmartGrooming
I've been choosing cooling or neutral ingredients for Jasmine and now for both Cookie and JD. I don't see too many occasions where a dog would actually require warming ingredients with the prevalence of inflammatory conditions of all sorts. Though I'm sure some dogs do benefit from warming foods. The only chicken Cookie gets is every now and the. When we have some and raw chicken feet for snacks.

As a strong proponent of Chinese Medicine in humans, this was incredibly fascinating. Good for you and good for Maggie. 😉
Fascinating. Bless you for doing this research, and bless you for loving Maggie so so much. I am learning tons during this series and sharing it as much as I can. Have a healthy and fun weekend Slim.
this was interesting, I'm so glad Maggie is doing so well.

<<**I want to share to you a few insights and tips to help you…build your dream $10K Business in as little as a month even without TESTIMONIALS…(no strings attached! ;)**>>
I get it…you haven't really gotten those stellar results from your clients that you wanted YET. In fact, clients are scarce so it's hard to keep getting better and better.
What feels even harder though, is marketing yourself as a great coach/mentor when you feel deep inside that you haven't helped enough people to know the TRUTH. Are you really that good? Can you really give them spectacular results?
You can't really help how you feel about all this…or can you?
The truth is that there is always a reason to feel like a fraud when you don't believe in yourself all the way due to the beating your self-esteem has gotten since you started your own business.
Over the past few years you've moved very little or not at all. You know a lot more stuff maybe, but your business hasn't grown, you still haven't made any real consistent money, and you know that soon you'll have to decide to call it quits if nothing changes.
Lack of results…consistent results…can do that to a spiritual woman like you.
What's even worse is that it can also prevent you from showing up as the leader that you know you are deep inside.
And this can affect two sides of the equation, because it's not just the business (aka finances) that is suffering, it's also the service delivery.
You may want to disagree with me, but the truth is that you will always GIVE better results when you are confident in what you do and you can show up fully as YOU… to then be able to drag your clients into a different reality they can see for themselves.
If your own reality is not so great…you can see where this is going, right?
So it's very important that you understand where this "feeling like a fraud" thing comes from and how you can get rid of it ASAP, or at least replace it with another belief that is more powerful, based on REAL proof, to take its place.
Let me just start by saying that it's normal to keep getting the results we don't want when we don't have the results that we DO want.
Mainly because we don't believe that it's possible… and that sometimes will translate on us creating more of the same circumstances that lead to the same results.
A bit like this story of a fly that I read in my favorite little book You2…It was banging its head against the window glass repeatedly, when 2 meters away was an open door to go outside.
Pretty picture huh? But the truth is that we are doing the same exact thing! We are just like the fly…we don't know what we don't know and it leads to a lot of head banging, painful bumps and our business' ultimate demise.
We go in circles for years and years…and nothing and I really mean NOTHING will move until something changes to break the cycle…and that must be the belief FIRST!
So far you've been focusing on your lack of results and it's not about the results, but about who you're BEING!
You need testimonials, that's no doubt, but who you are being right now is not allowing you to even see the results you have already HAD, and it's also sabotaging your continued results.
Right now, your results are hiding in plain sight, you just can't see them from where you're looking!
Let me give you an example from when I was making the shift from 1-2K/mo to $7K so you see what I mean.
I had been working on my mindset and my strategy and I had all the pieces in place. I KNEW it was going to work, but I didn't have the awesome testimonials for mindset coaching yet, not to business women anyways.
The belief was there though, for the first time in forever, and I was ready to make it happen no matter what.
It occurred to me to reach out to a past client to see if she wanted to be in my new program, and while having a conversation she casually said that she had DOUBLED her business the past year after working with me!
WHAT??? That was her third year in business and the prior two years she had stayed at the same income level, but since then she had exploded!
Essentially, I had a client who had the most amazing results and I didn't even know about it!
Understand that even if you're just starting out there are enough results in what you've done (for yourself and your clients), without you having to feel like a fraud of any kind!
Also, the faster you get results the better! You can create real results quickly if you know exactly what to do. That means that your first (and consistent) $10K month is just around the corner…and that means you don't have to keep repeating this pattern over and over like the little fly 😉
So for simplicity's sake, here are 3 easy steps to get you there darrrrrrrrling! This is how you can build a successful 10K business without feeling like a fraud:
1. Understand where this feeling comes from so you can shift the disbelief into BELIEF and start getting a different result. Otherwise you will stay trapped in a prison of your own making.
2. Find the results that you have already had. They are hiding in plain sight and you can't see them from the place (and mindset) that you are looking.
3. Take a different action. Have a proven, tested strategy you can implement quickly to get results. The longer you wait, the harder it is!
YOU have to break the cycle! It's your responsibility.
You can't operate from this place of disbelief and expect a successful business. It just doesn't happen!
My question for you is, what exactly are you waiting for? To break your head against the wall?
Now go out there and get it done!

MADJANI passes away
Posted on: 15th Apr 2019
Shadwell is sad to announce the death of one of its most respected Arabian stallions, MADJANI.
The son of TIDJANI was bred in France from a very successful family with Tunisian roots that has produced many successful racehorses, such as AL JAKBAR, TORNADOR, NOUR THABET and AL SAKBA.
MADJANI started his racing career with a winning debut at 3 in France, for his owner-breeder Pierre Hoyeau. He then joined champion trainer Gill Duffield's stables in the UAE and raced in the colours of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum. His racing career ended after 13 victories and three second places in 17 starts.
MADJANI won seven Group 1 PA races: he is the only colt who has won the Dubai Kahayla Classic three times, he has won the HH The President Cup (Gr.1 PA) in Abu Dhabi twice in consecutive years, as well as the Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3 twice. He was crowned Horse of the Year in the UAE in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
After these unparalleled performances, he retired to stud in France, at Haras de Saint Faust, at the end of 2008.
During his ten years at stud, he has sired winners worldwide in France, Morocco, the UK, UAE, USA, Sweden, Qatar, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Turkey, including Group winners HANDASSA (Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3, Gr.1 PA, twice), AL ZAHIR (HH The President Cup, Gr.1 PA, twice), RB FRYNCH BROAD (Gr.2) and stakes performers MADJIKMAN, CITRONNIER DE GHAZAL, BON BAISER DE FAUST, ALAZEEZ, MERLOT MHF, RB MADJYK MAN, NIRAAN, RB MOOSE, MADGICALL, among many other winners.
His condition deteriorated rapidly after serious complications and the difficult decision has been made to perform euthanasia on humane grounds.
Richard Lancaster, director of Shadwell, commented: "MADJANI was a great racehorse and stands alongside the very best Arabians to run in the colours of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum. To win three Kahayla Classics in such competitive times was truly exceptional. He was a lovely character with a great temperament. I am sure his memory will live on through the stock he leaves behind.
"HANDASSA, MADJANI's best son at stud, will be travelling to France in the following fortnight to stand at Haras de Saint Faust. We trust that he will carry on the legacy of his sire. We encourage breeders who intended to breed their mares to MADJANI to contact us or Haras de Saint Faust to discuss their options for the current breeding season."
MADJANI will be remembered as one of the very best Arabian racehorses and one of the greatest and most respected sire. He will be missed by all.

Ingrown Toenails Can Cause PainMonday, 05 August 2019 00:00
The symptoms of an ingrown toenail can be quite noticeable. They typically consist of red and swollen skin on the sides of the big toe, and it generally causes pain and discomfort. It can occur as a result of wearing shoes that do not fit properly, and this can possibly cause the toenail to grow into the surrounding skin. If your child has an ingrown toenail, they may find mild relief when the affected toe is soaked in warm water. This may help to move the swollen portion of skin away from the nail. It may be beneficial to wear sandals as the healing process occurs, and this can help to keep pressure off of the nail. If you are afflicted with an ingrown toenail, it is strongly advised that you seek the counsel of a podiatrist who can properly treat this condition.
Ingrown toenails can become painful if they are not treated properly. For more information about ingrown toenails, contact Dr. Manx D. Quayle of Aurora Foot and Ankle Surgical Specialists. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when a toenail grows sideways into the bed of the nail, causing pain, swelling, and possibly infection.
- Bacterial infections
- Improper nail cutting such as cutting it too short or not straight across
- Trauma to the toe, such as stubbing, which causes the nail to grow back irregularly
- Ill-fitting shoes that bunch the toes too close together
- Genetic predisposition
Because ingrown toenails are not something found outside of shoe-wearing cultures, going barefoot as often as possible will decrease the likeliness of developing ingrown toenails. Wearing proper fitting shoes and using proper cutting techniques will also help decrease your risk of developing ingrown toenails.
Ingrown toenails are a very treatable foot condition. In minor cases, soaking the affected area in salt or antibacterial soaps will not only help with the ingrown nail itself, but also help prevent any infections from occurring. In more severe cases, surgery is an option. In either case, speaking to your podiatrist about this condition will help you get a better understanding of specific treatment options that are right for you.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office located in Fairbanks, AK. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.Read more about Ingrown Toenails
