Muscle and Back Pain
Back pain can be a huge detriment to the comfort and performance of your horse. Soft tissue and bone can play a role in back soreness, and horses with hind-end issues can also display secondary back soreness, so it is essential to find the source of the problem before determining treatment. At SMVS, the goal of our targeted back therapies is to improve comfort, flexibility and athletic performance. We currently offer multiple options for the treatment of back pain:
Shockwave Therapy:
Shockwave therapy aims a highly concentrated, powerful acoustical (sound) energy source to a focal area. The intent is to increase activity in bone-producing cells and boost circulation in the focal region, thus, improving the rate and quality of healing. We recommend a course of 3 shockwave treatments, 2 weeks apart. These appointments are very quick and done with standing sedation.
Mesotherapy is a technique targeted at the mesodermal layer of the skin. The goal of Mesotherapy is to break the "pain cycle," to stop the nerves of the back from transmitting painful information through sensory-pain fibers, to deeper layers of muscle. Constant nerve firing causes back muscles to tense and spasm, sending negative signals back to the spinal cord – which in turn sends out pain-related information back to the muscles – thus creating a pain cycle. With Mesotherapy, a multi-injector is used to deposit medication intradermally (within the skin) along the spinal cord. This procedure is done under standing sedation and typically takes 15-20 minutes. The horse is rested for one week with hand-walking, and may then return to regular work. We provide Mesotherapy for neck, back and gluteal pain and stiffness. Mesotherapy may be used in conjunction with Shockwave Therapy.
Deep muscle back injections:
The goal of deep muscle back injections is to relieve pain and tension in the muscles along either side of the spine. This therapy works similarly to Mesotherapy, however it also has the benefit of targeted relief to the deep muscles of the back. It may be used in conjunction with Mesotherapy and/or Shockwave therapy. We also offer similar treatment for any issues affecting the spinal column directly, such as "Kissing Spines." This therapy is targeted at the area around the dorsal spinous processes of the vertebrae, and the intraspinous ligaments, rather than the muscles. This procedure is also done under standing sedation and typically takes 15-20 minutes. The horse is rested for one week with hand-walking, and may then return to regular work.
Acupuncture is a great adjunctive therapy for muscle and back pain. Combined with western medicine, this alternative therapy can help "re-wire" the nerves causing the pain cycle while also providing local anti-inflammatory relief. Acupuncture treatments may include dry needle, aqua acupuncture and or electroacupuncture. All 3 treatments can be included in one session. Speak with Dr. Specht for interest in acupuncture therapy.
Dr. Kent Allen of Virginia Equine Imaging is one of the leading experts on back pain in the horse. He has written a very informative article on back pain for the AAEP: Click Here for more information.

October 1, 2015 Related Topics: Medical Costs, Utilization, Annual State Medical CompScope™ Benchmarks
This study examines medical payments per claim, prices, and utilization in Indiana and compares Indiana with 16 other states (Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin). It also examines how these metrics of medical payments and care have changed mainly from 2008 to 2013 for claims at an average 12 months of experience. We analyzed claims with experience through 2014 for injuries up to and including 2013.
In some cases, we used a longer time frame to supply historical context for key metrics. Recent legislation, House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1320, addressed hospital costs, which were a key driver of higher-than-typical medical payments in Indiana, by enacting a hospital fee schedule effective July 1, 2014. This report provides a baseline for monitoring changes following the implementation of the hospital fee schedule. The next CompScope™ Medical Benchmarks report edition will reflect nine months of experience under the fee schedule and may provide an early look at the post-fee-schedule experience.

Grand Central Atelier - Elements of Landscape Painting
16 March, 2018 to 18 March, 2018
Grand Central Atelier
46-06 11th Street, Queens, NY 11101
Working in the controlled setting of the studio, Emilie will guide artists through composing an imagined landscape, from sketch to grisaille to finished painting. Work by traditional landscape artists will be on hand for reference as we learn about common patterns found in nature, optical illusions and how to avoid them, and the use of atmospheric perspective. We will also discuss how to use compositional elements that will lead the viewer's eye through the painting and how to create the illusion of depth. Traditional practices such as glazing and scumbling will be taught at the final stages of the painting.
Finally, endless enthusiasm and advice about finding inspiration and actually painting outside will be rained down upon you, including what Emilie's learned about painting while camping, road tripping, traveling in airports, and being prepared for a spontaneous painting session in every-day life!

The Harbor House Domestic Violence Intervention Program aims to end domestic violence in Northeast Wisconsin by holding domestic abuse offenders accountable, supporting victim safety and empowerment, and building a collaborative community of compassionate, well-informed domestic abuse advocates.
Holding Offenders Accountable
In order to ensure domestic violence offenders are held accountable for their actions, we provide offender assessments, education, and monitoring.
Offender Assessments
The Harbor House Domestic Violence Intervention Program is certified through the Wisconsin Batterer Treatment Providers Association. We provide domestic violence and anger management assessments to offenders in Outagamie and Calumet counties who are arrested or referred to our program. Referrals come from a variety of sources including the District Attorney's Office, Probation and Parole Office, Child Protective Services, mental health services, family court, and local judges.
Assessments take about an hour and touch on many different aspects of the offender's life including past and current relationships, family history, experience with alcohol and other drug abuse, medical history, mental health, and more. We also assess the offender's potential lethality by examining risk factors such as their history of suicide and depression, previous threats to kill, former stalking behavior, past use of weapons, history of sexual violence, violation of protection orders, and prior criminal behavior. Our number one priority – beyond any other – is to prevent future homicides from happening.
Once an offender assessment is complete, the Intervention Coordinator will make one or more recommendations. These may include domestic violence education groups, individual counseling, anger management, alcohol or drug abuse counseling, parenting classes, screening for depression, medical or psychological evaluations, or referrals to Veterans Assistance or a mental health provider for PTSD evaluation.
Offender Education
In addition to conducting offender assessments, Harbor House also provides offender education in the form of victim impact panels and domestic violence education groups.
Victim Impact Panels
During victim impact panels, survivors of domestic violence share stories about how family members (including children) were killed as a result of domestic violence. Offenders learn how their behavior negatively affects family, friends, and the community in general. Victim impact panels are also essential to aiding survivors in the healing process.
Domestic Violence Education Groups
Domestic violence education groups i meet two hours per week for 26 weeks. During this time, offenders learn about the traumatic effects of domestic abuse, explore how their actions have negatively impacted friends and family members, learn anger management techniques, and more. The longer timeline also enhances the safety of domestic abuse victims.
Offender Monitoring
In order to ensure program effectiveness, Intervention Coordinators communicate with abuse victims, advocates, the courts system, law enforcement, child protective services, and corrections officers to ensure that offenders complete programming as required. This includes providing weekly updates of attendance, payment, and participation in domestic violence education groups to referring agencies.
Community Collaboration & Networking
At Harbor House, we understand the profound impact that domestic violence has on our community. We believe it will take the entire community working in unison to end the generational cycle of abuse. Through our participation in various community efforts, we're working to build a community that holds offenders accountable and keeps victims safe.
Domestic Violence Intervention Team
Formed in 1986, the Outagamie County Domestic Violence Intervention Team helps hold batterers accountable for their abusive behavior, promotes the safety of domestic abuse victims, and works to build a coordinated community response to domestic abuse. Our Intervention Coordinator meets monthly with members from various county agencies to discuss domestic violence issues, build strong collaborative relationships with fellow advocates, and enhance the safety of abuse victims, police officers, and other community members. Two of the most significant protocols implemented by the Domestic Violence Intervention Team are Fast Track Prosecution and the Red Flag List.
Fast Track Prosecution
Fast Track Prosecution ensures that first-time domestic violence offenders are court ordered into Harbor House's Domestic Violence Intervention Program in order to receive offender education as quickly as possible. This process not only educates the offender, but also enhances the safety and security of the victim.
Red Flag List
The Red Flag List takes an interagency approach to homicide prevention in Outagamie County. Updated monthly by a review team, this confidential list of high-risk domestic violence offenders receives referrals from a variety of sources including the District Attorney's Office, probation and parole agents, domestic violence advocates, child protection caseworkers, and law enforcement officers. The referral form considers numerous risk factors and lethality indicators that serve as predictors of future violence towards others. It is our hope that with more information and awareness of predictable lethality indicators, we can prevent future homicides.
Other Community Collaborations
In addition to collaborating on the Outagamie County Domestic Violence Intervention Team, our Intervention Program Coordinator also participates as a member of the Calumet County Coordinated Community Response Team and the Oneida Coordinated Community Response Team. Like the Domestic Violence Intervention Team, these two teams serve their respective communities by working to improve community response to domestic violence and sexual assault in order to ensure victim safety and offender accountability.
iMen's domestic violence education groups are not held at Harbor House.

Friday, May 13, 2011
What I mean is that since I was eighteen years of age, I have had doctors and others tell me that "If you do not lose weight, you are going to die"! I have heard this so many times over the years, that death was just become another word to me. A word with no personal individual meaning. Oh I have experienced death in my life as I am sure many of you. I have lost friends and family very close to me. I also have been ill, enough times and badly enough to be knocking at those doors of eternity. Yet when I was suffering with those illnesses, I seemed to have youth on my side and I would hear "Mike thank God you have a good heart"!
Well this all changed this year. Let's face it first of all I am 58 years old. Even if I were the healthiest person walking this earth, I am still 58 years old. Oh and yes, I can still have another 20, 30 years ahead of me but there is a finite number of those years.
Oh I know the 50's are the new 40's and the 40's the new 30's etc. but is anyone telling the Big Guy in the sky that we humans have decided to push back time by 10 years?
Another thing that has happened this year is that I am beginning to have "Heart" problems and other medical problems that I have been warned about for many years that were going to catch up with me!
Therefore this birthday is one of real reflection, celebration, and gratefulness.
I am grateful to my "Maker" for giving me all this time so far. I am grateful for those who care for me and have followed God's guidance to see me through some real tough times. I am thankful for those who love me. Needless to say at the top of that list is my wife. Then my son and his family. Then there is my extended family and friends who love me and have stuck by me through "thick and thin".
I reflect on how lucky I have been. Though my battle has been rough and there have been some close times both medically and emotionally, I am still here to talk about them. I remain to be the luckiest man on earth.
I love the life that has been given to me, would I change some things if I could? Of course I would. Yet I desire. A "Hunger" to live, to carry on and believe me it is a fight sometimes. One that is worth it.
I love opening my eyes each morning to see that I am included in another day. Then by the end of the day, I love to put my head on my pillow and focus on the beauty of the miracle that I just privileged to live. The day, the events, the people I got to interact with was a thing of beauty!
That is why I sit here May 13th the day before my birthday and I make my plans. Plans for the day, the week, the next three months, the next 12 months, 60 months and yes I am taking bets that I will be around for the next 30 years.
Life and I have a deal. It goes like this… I don't waste a moment of life and appreciate all of those moments, both good and bad, and in return, life will continue to give itself to me for many years to come.
Life is a bowl of cherries and yes sometimes you get a pit or two. When you do get those pits, what do you do? You spit them right out and dig right back in for another cherry. Life can be fun even at it most worse moments. Those would be the times to hang on the hardest and use the tools that you have gathered through your journey to help you get through it. Maybe it is a friend, a call, a book a professional or a prayer. Whatever it takes, fight to survive and live to enjoy another moment.
Even at my darkest moments if I looked real hard and opened up my eyes I saw light at the end of that tunnel (and still do)!
As a gift for my birthday that I give from me to you, I give you my love. I give you my hope. I give you my "Hunger" for this life.
May you never starve of hope and dreams, may you hunger for another day and may you be happy to be who you are and then from there….
we can start…!
Smile, Love

Great Blog once again Mike good to hear from you
- May 20, 2011 at 10:27 AM
I come to this blog for a few reasons. First is to see how Mike is. I don't know him personally, I would love to meet him. He has inspired me for so many years. The other reason is to read these blogs. I get so much from them, even the ones I do not agree with get me going. Then the last reason is to see what others write what they are going through etc. I am having a rough time and it is killing me and my relationships bur I still can't stop! Any suggestions?

Bit late but happy birthday Michael.
You did good for me in the past few years, learning of your fight got me off my behind and I lost a big chunk of weight. Now the war to keep it off.
It's good to have a fellow traveller there as an inspiration as you don't just fall over, you get back up and try again. That's been my story so far too, and now I'm serious about eating healthy and eating less.

When I find myself the lowest, it is up to me to pick myself up. How? Call a friend, hug my spouse, play with the kids. Some people may buy themself a piece of jewlery (if you can) a new blouse. Get your nails done...do something nice for you. Who else deserves your kindness? You are special and need a break. Go for it this is the first step in taking care oof you. little things first lead to the big ones..e.g. eating healthy and doing physical activity.
love you all

Dear Mike or friends of Mike
I am 21 yrs old and I already weigh close to 500 pounds. My doctors wont do any surgery on me they say I am too young. Besides my mother and the band and lost 75 pounds and put back 45 my father had the bi-pass and lost 125 pounds and in the last six months gained about 50 and he is eating out of control. Is it a lost cause for me? What can I do? Anything? Nothing? Do I give up? Help?

Warburg Pincus Sees China, India And Korea as Ripe for Investment
In Asia, Warburg Pincus LLC considers itself a beacon of hope for the fledgling private equity industry.
The U.S. firm already has invested $1.2 billion in about 50 Asian companies, and last week's closing of the $5.3 billion Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII fund means there's a lot more where that came from.

Red Dessert Dive in the Heights of Houston
When Red Dessert Dive opened on Studewood in the Heights near Ruggles Green and Liberty Kitchen, people began to wonder what this little corner shop was. Right out of the gate, Houstonia, Houston Press, Eater Houston and even Culture Map had turned their heads to chronicle this spot. We decided to see for ourselves. For us, we noted 4 super sonic things:
- Debuskers, the Trademarked Experiment
A mouthwatering mix between soft brownie and chewy M&M chocolate chip cookie, Jessica Lusk, the owner over at Red decided to test out this hybrid on her family. When she asked her young cousin what he thought the name should be, "Debusker" came rolling off his tongue and so the name took hold. Shortly thereafter, the name had been trademarked and the deliciousness became a staple at Red Dessert Dive.
- Beer Bread
A noteworthy item on the menu is Red's Beer Bread. When asked more about it, she stated with loyalty that all of her ingredients support local business and the beer in this bread would prove true. On most occasions, Karbach's Weiss Wersa is the beer of choice that gets blended deliciously into the bread batter, lending itself well to the hometown feel of a baked snack around the house.
- How did you come up with the name, Red Dessert Dive?
With glitter in her eyes, Jessica told us the history in the name of her dive. Her grandmother's nickname was Red, for her fiery red hair and personality and her grandparents were natives to the Houston Heights area. Anytime Jess's grandmother would get fired up about something, Grandpa would comically say "It's raining Red!" Jess decided she wanted to carry that history into her new bakery nestled right at home. She also wanted to merge the taste of baked goods with the refresh of a good adult beverage, choosing to offer wine and beer alongside her staples.
- The Bread Pudding
We asked Jessica what she thought was a surprise to the business and she talked about how the bread pudding has become a local favorite. Expecting other items to take main stage, she quickly learned that the taste of her bread pudding paired with a light wine has become something she won't leave behind.
Albeit there is Wi-Fi here, unless you have headphones, it is not the most conducive place to come in and get a lot of work done. The chairs scrape a little abrasively across the floor that can cause a disruption in your workflow but as long as you have a way to block out the sound, you should be great.

According to a recent study Greenwood has been selected as the number two safest city in the State of Arkansas. A press release from safewise.com ranked the top 20 safest cities. Greenbrier was at the top of the list followed by Greenwood, Bella Vista and Centerton.
To identify the safest cities in Arkansas, Safewise reviewed the most recent FBI Crime Report statistics from 2014, along with population data. Eliminated were all cities with fewer than 3,000 residents as well as any cities that failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI.
Safewise then evaluated the remaining cities and narrowed the list based on the number of reported violent crimes (aggravated assault, murder, rape, and robbery) and property crimes (burglary, arson, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft) in each city. To further level the playing field they calculated the likelihood of these crimes occurring out of 1,000 people in each city.
Greenwood violent crimes per 1,000 was 1.61 and property crimes per 1,000 was 5.91.

"For years, research has shown that socioeconomic status is associated with differences in school readiness, cognitive development and achievement. Recent work by two sets of researchers have further demonstrated how poverty is tied to structural differences in the brain, with the largest influence observed among children from the poorest households. These differences include the areas of the brain responsible for working memory, impulse regulation, visuospatial skills, language and cognitive control."(more)

Beautiful Morning!
Good morning!
I just wanted to say how blessed I am to have a view like this in the morning.
Today is the beginning of great week!
I also wanted to say how embarrassed I am to have realized that my blog address has two "life's" in it, oh the blonde in me is revealed!
Don't have much to say today except that everyday is a gift! And also, how great do you feel (women this is for you) when you just randomly dress up real pretty and do your hair? I did that yesterday and felt like a million bucks!
Until next time,
The Farmer's Wife

Pension Death Benefits
The importance of saving for retirement has been really driven home over recent years, particularly with the auto-enrolment campaign ("We're all in"). Here is a quick look at the four types of pension and what happens to them upon the holder's death.
The state pension
A state pension is given to an individual (even though there are certain circumstances in which a person may be able to claim a state pension based on another person's contributions). Therefore, it ends upon the death of that individual.
Defined benefits pensions
These operate to their own set of rules and hence holders of such pensions would need to check what happens to them upon their deaths.
Annuities-based pensions
The key point to remember about buying an annuity is that once it is bought it is a done deal. Therefore, if it is important to you that there is at least the option of your nearest and dearest receiving a legacy from your pension fund after your death, you need to look into this before buying your annuity since it is too late to do it afterwards.
Pensions based on income drawdown
Since "pensions freedoms day" 6th April 2015, holders of pension pots have been able to bypass the traditional annuities route and use their pension funds essentially as standard investment funds with which to generate an income. Depending on the investor's success, there may or may not be capital left over upon their death. If there is, they are now able to pass the funds onto their chosen beneficiary or beneficiaries by means of a scheme called Nominee Flexi-Access Drawdown and then when the chosen nominee(s) die(s), they can pass it on to their chosen beneficiary by means of a scheme called Successor Flexi-Access Drawdown. Under current rules, this process can essentially continue indefinitely, as long as there are funds left in the pension fund.
In addition to the obvious benefit of being able to pass on your assets to those you love rather than simply handing them back to the company behind an annuity, there is the further benefit that the pension fund itself is excluded from the calculation of the value of the estate for the purposes of inheritance tax calculation. What's more, if the current holder of the pension fund dies before their 75th birthday, subsequent drawdowns (withdrawals) will be paid out free of income tax. After that age, they are taxed as income but still free of IHT.
NB: the Nominee Flexi-Access Drawdown scheme was introduced in April 2015, after the initial pensions freedoms, hence existing plans may not be set up to accommodate the scheme. It is therefore recommended to check promptly whether your current pension scheme has this option and if not to take professional advice as to your best options.
A final point about pensions
There is a major difference in meaning between the words can and should. You can choose to use income drawdown to fund your retirement and if you do you may have capital left over to bequeath to your chosen beneficiaries. At the same time, however, it's important to remember that the whole purpose of retirement funds is to fund your retirement and that any legacy you can leave is a bonus, which will benefit someone else rather than you. It's also important to remember that it may still be possible for you to leave a legacy even if you go down the route of an annuity-based pension, you would just have to look at other options for doing so. Annuities-based pensions are still a valid way of ensuring an income in retirement and for some people may be a far superior option to income drawdown (whereas for others they may be a terrible choice). It is therefore strongly recommended to take professional advice before making any major decisions with regard to your retirement.

The Emmet County Board of Commissioners agreed Thursday to take part in possible mediation concerning a lawsuit recently filed against the county by a downstate development firm.
Earlier this spring, Petoskey Investment Group of East Lansing filed suit in the U.S. District Court for western Michigan, questioning two zoning decisions which the county made last year.
The board of commissioners and county planning commission rejected a 2003 request by the investment group to rezone land at Anderson and Intertown roads in Bear Creek Township. The firm sought a zoning change that would allow for the development of a retail/residential complex.
Later last year, the investment group requested that county officials place the land in planned-unit development status. This zoning designation would give the county more input into the development process than conventional rezoning. Developers were again denied.

Maryland Twisters F5 wins Best Uniform at Champions League
We are excited to announce that the Maryland Twisters F5 team has won the "Best Uniform" title at Champions League! The Twisters have long been a favorite of GK Cheer, wearing the most up to date, fashion-forward designs, and always looking fabulous. Now their efforts have paid off in more ways than just feeling great during competition because they are wearing the coveted Best Uniform in the sport! Congratulations!
What is it about this GK Cheer uniform that puts it above the other teams' Next Level? Before we decide, let's take a look at each individual element of the design. Afterwards, I'll let you be the judge.
The crop top is a custom design that allowed the F5 team to feminize their athletic team uniform to depict the charm of a regal cocktail garment. Here's how they did it.
Instead of dressing in the classic and very popular Nylon/Spandex or Mystique fabrics, F5 took a risk and chose to present themselves in Black Velvet. This luxurious fabric is plush and soft, and commonly associated with royalty or nobility. In fact, it's so beautiful that it was once a common decoration for royal walls and noble frocks. As with most precious elements, velvet does require a little extra care, but it's a small price to pay for the deep black, luxurious cheer uniform that gives F5 the confidence they need need to stay on top.
The challenge now is to grace this regal fabric with proper embellishments, and what an amazing selection they made. The natural Black Velvet neckline of this gorgeous cheer crop top features a deep scoop neck, but the real neckline is adorned in Black Mesh and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS in varying color tones. Sophisticated garments require jewelery, and that's exactly what these jewels created for F5's all star cheer uniform. They flawlessly drape across the collar bone and shoulder blades with Briliance, Jade and Electric Blue necklace lines. It's a first in cheer fashion, and it's brilliant!
These same Brilliance, Jade and Electric Blue SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS also create an intricate and intriguing pattern along both long sleeves, as well as the right corner of the Black Velvet Low Rise Skirt U701L. If a picture really does say a thousand words, then let's just soak it all in.
Finally, who wouldn't advertise their team on this masterpeice, as Coach Tara Cain calls it? This entire F5 logo is SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS! It's phenomenal! Again, just soak it all in.
So what caught the judges eye first? You be the judge, and remember that next season offers yet another opportunity to have the best cheer uniform in the nation. How will your compare?
GK Cheer. The Next Level.

Collins Dictionary named "fake news" its 2017 word of the year, an easy choice given the word's "unprecedented usage increase" of 365 percent over the previous year. Collins defines fake news as "false, often sensational, information disseminated under the guise of news." But this dictionary definition belies the shifting usage of the word in actual contexts of situation since the 2016 election.
A recent poll by Monmouth University found that most Americans consider fake news to encompass not just "stories where the facts are wrong," but they also apply the word "to how news outlets make editorial decisions about what they choose to report." In other words, the "fake" part of fake news no longer simply refers to the truth or falsity of stories. The concern with objective verifiability of facts has faded away. Now, news stories are verified in terms of how well they ideologically conform to the Trumpian worldview.
This should come as no surprise given the way the word has circulated through American political discourse since Trump took office—namely, through the tweets of a president who reappropriated the term to bludgeon the free press. According to the Trump Twitter Archive, the term fake news has been tweeted 203 times from the @realdonaldtrump Twitter account between December 10, 2016 and the time of my writing. These tweets—most occurring after Trump moved into the White House—play an important role in shaping the word's meaning in US public discourse.
Collins Dictionary's definition of fake news has more to do with the meaning ascribed to the term during and immediately after the 2016 presidential election when concern about demonstrably false stories rose to the surface. This "false, often sensational, information disseminated under the guise of news" put Google and Facebook in the hotseat for the way their business models helped clickbait scammers and Russian trolls spread false stories, whether for profit or propaganda. Fake in these usage contexts clearly derives from a correspondence theory of truth framework where stories that do not align with objective facts can be ferreted out and labeled fake news.
Well before 2016, fake news was better known as the moniker for the genre of satirical news shows. During George W. Bush's tenure in the White House, Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's The Daily Show came to be known as "the most trusted name in fake news." Stephen Colbert's spin-off show, The Colbert Report, took the meaning of fake news to a new level through his satirical caricature of a conservative talk show host/pundit. Both of these shows drew upon the comical precedent set by shows like Saturday Night Live with its Weekend Update, a parodic spoof on real news broadcasts. In these usage contexts, fake refers to news-like shows that are obviously and transparently fake, intended for comedic entertainment and political satire.
The term fake news has evolved into an ideological term of art used to discredit any perceived criticism of Trumpian demagoguery. When the term referred to propagandistic messages that favored Trump during the 2016 election, Trump took offense to the implication that he didn't win the election on his own merits. So, from the first usage of fake news in his tweets, Trump effectively reappropriated the term and twisted its meaning to protect his egocentric coherence. Throughout his body of tweets, Trump has consistently applied the term in the ideological sense of characterizing any news coverage at odds with his agenda. Truth be damned.
In his tweets, fake news applies to both news coverage and media outlets. For example, on January 11, 2017, Trump tweeted in reference to reports about Russian interference in the election: "Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to 'leak' into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?" The news coverage he references also includes unfavorable polls: "Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election."
But most importantly, in Trumpian discourse, fake news has become a synonym for the mainstream media: "The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!" Within the Trumpian worldview, the mainstream media consist of newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post—"The Fake News Washington Post"—television networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC, and cable news channels like CNN and MSNBC: "The 'Fakers' at CNN, NBC, ABC & CBS have done so much dishonest reporting that they should only be allowed to get awards for fiction!"
Notably absent, of course, is Fox News, Trump's go-to source for his daily intelligence briefings—especially the morning Fox and Friends show with which Trump has a symbiotic relationship. They puff him up and he promotes them in return: "Was @foxandfriends just named the most influential show in news? You deserve it— three great people! The many Fake News Hate Shows should study your formula for success!"
Over the past year, fake news has entered into the intertextual web of US public discourse where its repeated usage in contexts where real news and respected media outlets are discredited—including Trump's "Fake News Awards"—has imbued the term with new indexical associations. But at the same time, fake news continues to be used in contexts where it refers to objectively false news. So, on the one hand, fake news means what Collins Dictionary says it means: "false, often sensational, information disseminated under the guise of news." On the other hand, fake news also means something like this: any news that contradicts Trumpian policies or affronts Trump's ego.
These different meanings operate on completely different planes of existence. One uses empirical verifiability to measure the legitimacy of news, upholding the value of a free press in a democratic society. The other uses ideological adherence to a worldview to measure the legitimacy of news, eroding trust in a free press dedicated to holding those in power accountable. These radically different usages of fake news render the phrase utterly meaningless in today's political debates and feed the cynicism of the Trumpian age.

A brother and sister tapped their way to success at a recent competition in Germany.
Charlie Mockett, 17 and his 14-year-old sister Stephanie, of Acorn Close, St Leonards, were part of the England Tap Team at the tap dancing World Championships last month.
The 46-strong team fought off competition from around 2,000 dancers from 18 countries at the 18th annual event with various routines.
The England team is filled by Tap Attack, a tap dance company comprised of talented tappers from around the UK aged 11 to 28. Both Charlie and Stephanie trained at Laton Ash Dance Centre in Hastings.
Their mum, Karin, said: "My husband and I travelled to support them both and had an extremely emotional week. It is an incredible feeling to watch your child on the podium as a World Champion singing their hearts out to the National Anthem. I was very lucky enough to receive sponsorship this year in order for Charlie and Stephanie to go to Germany to compete. I would like to thank Hastings Youth Trust, Hastings Lions and Booker and Best."

26 before 26 : Work for an animal shelterDecember 19, 2013
Red Paws Rescue is an organization started by a seventeen year old girl, who wanted to take care of our four legged friends. It has since grown, and works in the field of animal rescue and rehabilitation in Delhi. They have one motto: Adopt, don't shop.
I contacted them at a good time, because they were looking for someone to design their calendar for 2014. They also needed other merchandize to sell to raise money for the animals. I was more than happy to help! Apart from the calendar, I designed a notebook for them. These items and more are now on sale, and the proceeds go towards the welfare of the animals.
You can take a look at their online shop here.

EPL week 35 odds analysis: Chelsea will slip up at Everton
Lee Davy takes a look at the weekend's English Premier League action as we reach the business end of the competition and believes Spurs will close the gap to one point after Chelsea slip up at Everton.
We are nearing the end.
Pretty soon we will have nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon except spend time with the kids.
Let's get to it.
Southampton v Hull
Southampton's season died when they lost to Manchester United in the English Football League (EFL) final at Wembley. The Saints have finished 8th, 7th and 6th in the previous three seasons. They lost their manager twice and sold all of their best players during that time. So no matter what happens in the next five games, the fans, and the board will be happy, and this is Hull's only glimmer of light.
Southampton has a pretty dismal home record, losing five and drawing four of their 15 appearances. But the Tigers turn into a bunch of pussy cats when they leave the KCOM cage.
Much has been said about Hull's impressive home record under Marco Silva, but they are appalling on the road, only winning one game all season, and losing 14 of their 17 trips, with only Burnley fairing any worse.
My Prediction: A Southampton win.
Southampton -160
Hull +450
Draw +285
Stoke v West Ham
When you consider Slaven Bilic has been pilloried for much of the season and is still the second favourite to get the boot behind David Moyes at 7/2 (Moyes is 2/1), it's worth pointing out with one of those green lasers that Mark Hughes and Stoke are only one point ahead.
The Potters have lost five of their previous six games, two of them at The Brittania, and have only picked up 7 points from 27 in their last nine games.
West Ham is unbeaten in three since their 3-0 thrashing at The Emirates, but you have to go back to 2013 for the last time West Ham beat Stoke in any competition.
Four of the last five games have ended in a stalemate, and that's my prediction in a tie that means absolutely nothing.
My Prediction – A Draw.
Stoke +105
West Ham +265
Draw +235
Sunderland v Bournemouth
Sunderland will be relegated to the Championship if they fail to beat Eddie Howe's men, and Hull and Swansea can avoid defeat against Southampton and Man Utd respectively, but I don't think that is going to happen, so Moyes has one more week to pull off a Donald Trump.
Sunderland has only lost once to Bournemouth in the club's history. But dig a little deeper, and you can see that they have only played each other nine times, and of the three games played in the modern era there has been a win, loss, and a draw.
Bournemouth has only won twice on the road. Sunderland has only picked up two draws in their last nine games, losing the other seven. It's a tough one to call, but I think the entire core of Sunderland football club is feeling like a flounder.
My Prediction: A Bournemouth win.
Sunderland +195
Bournemouth +135
Draw +250
West Brom v Leicester
Leicester has only lost twice in eleven games in all competitions since Craig Shakespeare took over from Claudio Ranieri, and that was away at Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.
Shakespeare has written fresh new storylines for the Champions. They came close to making the Champions League Semi Finals, Jamie Vardy is back to his best, and yet they are still only six points clear of Swansea, who are drowning in the bottom three.
I don't think Leicester will be relegated, but I don't believe that they will get much change at The Hawthorns. West Brom are strong at home having won 9 of their 17 fixtures, and despite losing three games on the spin, two at home, I think they will provide stubborn opposition for the Foxes, and you will be watching this game last on Match of the Day come Saturday night.
My Prediction – A goalless draw.
West Brom +150
Leicester +185
Draw +230
Crystal Palace v Burnley
Well, do I really have to analyse this one?
Crystal Palace is in exceptional form, winning six of their past nine games to move away from the relegation zone James Bond ejector seat style.
Burnley, on the other hand, is two games away from going through the entire season without an away win. Add the fact that Burnley has only won once in their last 12 games, and is heading to the relegation zone like a meteor; there can only be one winner for me.
My prediction – A Crystal Palace win
Crystal Palace -135
Burnley +385
Draw +255
Everton v Chelsea
If Spurs have any chance of winning the league, then Everton have to beat Chelsea at Goodison Park, it's as simple as that. I strongly believe if Chelsea comes away from Merseyside with three points they have won the league.
Everton is the surprise package of the season. They have won 12 of their home matches, drawn four and have only lost one. Only Chelsea and Spurs have a better home record.
But Chelsea has the best away record in the league having won 11 times on their travels, only suffering three defeats. Antonio Conte's men have responded well since their defeat against Man Utd, beating Southampton and Spurs (FA Cup), and scoring eight goals.
Only Liverpool and Spurs have beaten Everton since December, and with Romelu Lukaku leading the Premier League goalscoring charts with 24, I get the feeling the young man will be working his socks off to show Chelsea that they should sign him in the summer.
My Prediction – Everton home win.
Everton +265
Chelsea Evens
Draw +255
Middlesbrough v Man City
Middlesbrough finally won a game in 2017 after beating Sunderland by a goal to nil in midweek, but they will be no match for a Man City side desperately searching for a Champions League place as Pep Guardiola comes to terms with a trophyless season.
This one is a no-brainer.
My Prediction – Man City away win.
Middlesboro +950
Man City -345
Draw +450
Spurs v Arsenal
Spurs has won eight Premier League games in a row, will they make it nine?
I think they will.
They reacted well to the FA Cup Semi-Final defeat against Chelsea, where I thought they were the better side. Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli are having the season of their lives, and Harry Kane is, well, Harry Kane.
Arsenal will feel good after disposing of Man City in that other Wembley showpiece, and they followed it up with a 1-0 home win against Leicester.
The last three games between this pair have been draws, and because Spurs play after the Chelsea game, I feel the result will have a big bearing on this match. If Everton gets a result, Spurs will be fired up, and as I think that will happen, I will go for Spurs in this one.
My Prediction – A Spurs win.
Spurs -120
Arsenal +300
Draw +280
Watford v Liverpool
Watford +500
Liverpool -195
Draw +330
Only Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs have a better away record than Liverpool. With Watford safely tucked away in the middle of the table, I fancy Liverpool to win this one at a canter.
My Prediction – A Liverpool away win.
Man Utd v Swansea
Man Utd -280
Swansea +800
Draw +390
Jose Mourinho sent his United side into the Etihad to grab a draw in midweek, and he got it. That tells me that he has either looked at Ajax, Lyon, and Celta Vigo and fancies his Europa League chances or he believes his team will make the difference up in the final five games of the season, and City will slip up.
Swansea will be fighting for their lives in this one, and they have won three of their last five games against The Red Devils, including twice at Old Trafford, but even an under-strength United side will be too much for Paul Clements' team.
My Prediction – A Man Utd win.
