As a quick disclaimer you might want to check with your doctor before starting any diet, especially if you have any health issues.
Knowing the difference between the two and expecting results based on how you're eating can go a long way in preventing disappointment due to the results you receive. It stands to reason that you will lose faster if you're following a strict keto approach compared to a lazy keto approach.
Lazy Keto: This generally means that you're not strictly tracking your calories, recommended protein and fats, but, you're making sure to get 20 grams of carbs or less each day.
Strict Keto: This means you're accurately tracking your protein, fats and carb macros on the keto diet.
Intermittent fasting is basically a cycle between periods of fasting and eating.
A popular form of the intermittent fasting method is the 16/8 method which means you fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8 hour eating window every day.

This will make your keto journey so much easier.
You can find some great keto meal planning printables here.
Exercise, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose. Ensure that you're incorporating some weight training workout so that you can build muscle while you lose weight to help firm up your body. This could help you to avoid excessive loose skin and tone up nicely.
Read as many keto related books as possible. Also, read many articles about this way of eating to help you truly understand what it entails and how to be successful on the keto diet.
This keto book is a great read.
MCT which is short for Medium-Chain Triglyceride is a type of fat that helps to increase your energy levels among other things.
This is a great healthy fat that can help your body achieve Ketosis and burn fat. Not only that, because it's odorless and tasteless, it is great for adding to your shakes, coffees and other keto beverages for more energy. This is perfect for you if you're lacking energy on the keto diet.
You can find some great quality MCT oil here.
Enjoy this diet. Instead of focusing on all the things you cannot have, think of all the things you can enjoy this new way of eating while still losing weight! For god's sakes you can eat food like keto pizza a lose weight!
Don't eat too much protein on this diet.
Many people think of the keto diet as a low carb diet. While completely missing the point the keto diet is a low carb, moderate protein, and low carb diet. This means that eating too much protein can and will affect your weight loss if unchecked.
Having too much protein will turn the protein into blood sugar in our liver through a process called glucogenesis, which could spike your insulin levels which your body can then use for energy instead of fat. This can stall your weight loss.
Following these keto tips if you're a beginner and you'll have a much easier time on this diet.

Q: 'load' doesn't work in another 'load' callback, but 'ready' does I want to add a callback to 'load' event and want it to be executed at the end of all 'load' callbacks. So I registered a 'load' callback in another 'load' callback but it didn't work. I tried the same logic with 'ready' and it worked.
My question is why this doesn't work with 'load'?
My jQuery version is 3.4.0

//this 'ready' part works
$(document).ready(function() {
    console.log('ready1');
    $(document).ready(function() {
        console.log('ready2');
    });
});

//this 'load' part doesn't work. Only 'load1' is printed.
$(window).on('load', function() {
    console.log('load1');
    $(window).on('load', function() {
        console.log('load2');
    });
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

A: $(document).ready is invoking a special jQuery function, which will run the associated handler once the document is ready, or, if the document is already ready, the handler will run immediately. It's a bit like:
// $(document).ready:

(callback) => {
  if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
    callback();
  } else {
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', callback);
  }
};

On the other hand, the on handler will only attach the listener, without checking to see if the event has already fired:
// $(window).on('load'

(callback) => {
  document.addEventListener('load', callback);
};

Attaching a listener via on is like calling addEventListener, and nothing else (so if the load event has already fired when on('load' is called, the callback will never run). $(document).ready has some extra logic involved.

The 0-0 #Pistons will tip off the 2014-2015 NBA Season Wednesday night in Denver against the 0-0 Nuggets. The Nuggets were riddled with injuries last season contributing to their 36-46, but look to bounce back this season. The Pistons step into this season with a new coach, some new free agents and a determination to win.
The good: New coach, new attitudes, a promising pre-season will hopefully equal a fresh start for Detroit.
The bad: The Pistons will be without Greg Monroe, as he serves his two game suspension stemming from his February DUI arrest.
The unknown: Can things really change?
Fact:The Pistons have lost seven of eight matchups with the Nuggets, including five in a row in Denver.
Fact:Brandon Jennings averaged 21.0 points and 8.5 assists against the Nuggets last season.
Tip off is at 9:00 pm and will be broadcast on Fox Sports Detroit . If you can't catch the game on TV, catch it on the radio over at Detroit Sports 105.1.

Launch of New Products Review on Plantbased Business Hour
New Products Review: A Special Series on
The Plantbased Business Hour
Airing Live on Tuesdays and Thursday on the JaneUnChained News Network Facebook Page and the Elysabeth Alfano LinkedIn Page at 1PM PT.
CHICAGO / LOS ANGELES - Beginning immediately, The PLANTBASED BUSINESS HOUR (PBH), hosted by plant-based journalist, news expert, radio host and TV Chef/Producer, Elysabeth Alfano, will launch a new weekly segment: New Products Review (NPR). Every week on NPR on PBH, Alfano will taste, rate and review a new vegan product to let viewers know what must-have products are hitting the market.
Is it 'To-Die-For?', 'Can't-Live-Without?', 'Game-Changing?', 'For Vegans Everywhere?', 'Fake Out Your Meat-Eaters?' or 'Not Ready for Prime Time?' Coupled with fun graphics and gifs, energy and fanfare, the new segment highlights soon-to-be-released vegan products and how to get them.
After each tasting segment, Elysabeth sits down remotely with the company's CEO to discuss the trials and tribulations of getting to market, unexpected hurdles, expected growth, their tips for entrepreneurs and investors and their predictions for the plant-based market. Alfano ends every show with her iconic questions, "What do you wish you knew 10 years ago that you know now?", "What phrase do you rely on to get your through a bad day?", "What are your predictions for the plant-based future in the next 3-5 years?" and "What is your favorite snack?"
Upcoming featured products and CEOs are Bill Glazer, Co-Founder of Outstanding Foods with Pig Out Pork Rinds, Greg Steltenpohl, Founder of Califia Farms with their new plant-based butters, Dr. Nadja Pinnavaia of Plantable with their new line of healthy meal service entrees and Co-Founder Mitchell Scott of the recently IPO'd Canadian company, Very Good Butchers, with their line of vegan meats. Past guests on the Plantbased Business hour have been Before the Butcher's, Danny O'Malley, Clear Current Capital Venture Fund Manager, Curt Albright, CEO of Beyond Investing, Claire Smith, Miyoko Schinner of Miyokos Cheese and Chuck Muth of Beyond Meat.
Alfano started the Plantbased Business Hour at the onset of COVID-19. "During this time of incredible stress and worry, many people want news and insight as to how things will be different in the future so that we don't find ourselves right back in this same position. Investors and consumers are interested in the plant-based arena as they search for healthier options, a safer food supply and the money-making future of food. The Plantbased Business Hour and my interviews on same give the leaders in this sector a platform to share their strategies and advancements in plant-based innovation with the general public, while also giving an insight into their personalities and quirks which make the businesses run."
As noted above, in addition to NPR on PBH, Elysabeth speaks with venture capitalists, CEOs, innovators, analysts, entrepreneurs, and more. The conversations cover a myriad of topics from impact investing to the newest plant-based and cellular agriculture innovations... and now taste tests!
Plant-based business represents not only big money, but also the big solution for a healthier food supply. Meat-borne pathogens are an expensive threat to our physical, financial and mental health, as we are currently experiencing with Coronavirus. During COVID-19, plant-based products have soared. Accoring to Nielsen, plant-based products experienced a growth of 240% for a 13-week period ending May 30 as compared to the same period in 2019, and more investment dollars were spent in the first quarter of 2020 than all of 2019, according to the Good Food Institute.
To keep your finger on the pulse of the dynamic, money-making, plant-based business world, tune in live every Tuesday and Thursday at 1PM PT on the Jane UnChained News Network Facebook Page and The Plantbased Business Hour LinkedIn Page. Episodes are archived on ElysabethAlfano.com and the Plantbased Business Hour Podcast,

What you need for next level leadership
Thursday, February 22nd, 2018
A recent brief for a talk at a conference about leadership ran as follows:
"We want the delegates to understand that what's got them to the senior level that they are at now, isn't enough to take them to the next level of business leadership".
What's necessary for the next level?
Technical expertise and being an excellent practitioner are taken as read. Neither of those skills are enough for management, let alone leadership.
Emotional intelligence is certainly crucial.
To lead you need to understand your own motivations, and then to share them. It's not enough to share your targets, your key performance indicators. It isn't enough, as Daniel Pink explains in his book "Drive", just to share rewards financially with your team. You have to share your feelings. You must understand the motivations and feelings of your team. In both respects this requires emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence alone is not enough either though.
You need emotional flexibility.
To grow a business you frequently need to pivot. A strategy that suited your business 5 years ago is unlikely to deliver for the next 5 years. Customers are changing, for example, becoming more demanding of meaning and purpose as well of good value. They're increasingly unwilling to compromise and their impatience with inadequate service levels or slow tech is increasing. Revenue models and sales channels might need to change to make sense of ROPO (Research online, Purchase offline and Research offline, Purchase online), meaning a change to how you motivate sales teams. Automotive sales have been step-changed by the growth in lease to own. Other sectors will follow. A good business leader will take advantage of these changes and pivot their strategy.
To grow a team you need to pivot emotionally too. If you get stuck in a narrative of negativity about a team member or allow negative thoughts to undermine your own abilities to deal with a difficult situation then you can't be a great leader.
Take the example given by Susan David, author of Emotional Agility, in HBR. She describes Jeffrey, who gets angry at work, with his boss, with his team, when they don't behave entirely as he thinks they should. When Jeffrey tries to suppress his anger he's left feeling that he hasn't been able to bring his whole self to work. So he's less effective and of course even more angry.
She advises that Jeffrey needs to detach from the feelings and label them. So: "my colleague makes me furious becomes: I'm having the thought that my colleague is wrong and am feeling angry about it". Detached, labelled, it is easier to deal with. You can even ask yourself, what if I could stop being so angry with them? Or maybe, what if I am just angry because I can't control my colleague and I don't like their approach, but they might have a point?
No-one is suggesting that this is easy. If you can pivot emotionally however you are more open to pragmatic solutions. You are more likely to accept that your colleagues, bosses, team members can change.
Emotional flexibility is crucial for next level leadership.

Respect is more important than a title
"Any fool can buy a car, but you can't buy respect".
"free fall", Robert Crais
You can't buy respect. You have to earn it.
There's some jobs where hierarchy and status mean that everyone below you more or less does as you tell them.
I imagine the armed forces work like this, and the police (although the TV is littered with rogue detectives who operate outside the system and get results.)
Then there's other workplaces where the hierarchy isn't as clear, or even if it is a title does not necessarily mean people do as you tell them.
Whatever the system, however lofty a title or a position in a hierarchy, it means nothing without respect. And respect can't be bestowed, as a title can. It must be earned.
Some people approach their job yearning for status, believing that they could just get so much more achieved with a better place in the hierarchy. Often they are doomed for disappointment. When that well deserved promotion comes, they might be faced with the fact that still no-one 'below' them does as they are told.
In media and adland a disrespect for hierarchy is not that rare. Many would argue that it isn't unhealthy in an industry that has to survive disruption and constantly reinvent itself. If you don't challenge the status quo you don't get growth, especially now. A good media sector culture will tolerate a reasonable level of challenge, in fact thrives on it, and that includes challenging status as well as status quo.
Respect however, that's another thing. Respect can't be bought. It isn't bestowed by a title or a promotion. It has to be earned.
There's a resounding example of this doing the rounds at the moment. Dave Trott wrote a memo, on paper, 30 years ago about the creativity of his team at ad agency GGT. One team member kept the memo and showed it to a colleague who posted it last week on facebook. The content of the memo is, if he won't mind me saying so, typical of Dave. He believes difference is crucial for stand out, that most ads disappear as wallpaper and that it is as important now to break with convention as it ever was. Three decades ago Trott said: "Instead of trying to be totally different to what's around we're more often nowadays concerned with trying to do the same thing but better".
As well as ads many comms strategies fall into this trap, aping the competition but trying to beat them rather than doing something completely different. To answer the brief that has been given well rather than differently. How many conversations are had about how to win Christmas like brand x (insert name of well known retailer here) rather than by doing things that haven't been done before?
What shines out for me about this though is not just the lesson of difference, of zigging when everyone else is zagging, but the level of respect that this shows for a great creative director and a great boss. Campaign reports that Trott said that the memo had been kept by a former staffer at GGT, Andy Archer, who now teaches at art school and who had shown it to his colleague Roger Stanier, who posted it on social media. They add that: "His words, which in spite of their age appear to be as pertinent today as they were then, have clearly struck a chord with the ad industry."
Respect, you can't buy it. You can't control whether people give it to you, not really. It doesn't go along with a title or a status. It doesn't correlate with how many people report into you, what your bonus is or how many followers you have on social media.
Respect is hard earned and given freely, and it lasts.
Advertising and marketing don't feature as career choices for kids
At the centenary of suffrage for some women in the UK, a report reveals that girls as young as 7 think women less smart than men.
A recent report on the career aspirations of 7-11 year olds has concluded that from a very young age most children stereotype jobs according to gender and their career choices are based on these assumptions.
'Drawing the Future, exploring the career aspirations of children from around the world' asked 20,000 kids to draw a picture of what they wanted to do when they grew up.
The report reveals data from a US study that by the age of 7 girls are less likely than boys to believe that members of their gender are 'really really smart.' Throughout the UK socio-economic background limits the scope of jobs that all children aspire to.
Most kids know about jobs from members of their family, but after that it is from popular culture and advertising.
Less than 0.1% kids want in the UK want to work in marketing. Less than 0.1% kids want to work in advertising. The few that do aspire to advertising are all boys.
For the authors of the report this has begged the question of whether advertising has a role in gender stereotyping. Which leads them to refer to the ASA's report from last summer on this.
The ASA report concludes that there is plenty of evidence that there needs to be a tougher line on ads featuring stereotypical gender roles, including ads which mock people for not conforming to gender stereotypes.
Every depiction that stereotypes or follows cliches, and you don't have to look far to find examples of this, adds to the likelihood that kids will grow up with the same cultural expectations that lead eventually to Glass Walls at work that get in the way of women and top jobs. And which ladder up to there being more FTSE 100 CEOs called Dave than FTSE 100 CEOS who are women.
According to the ASA this includes:
An ad that depicts family members creating a mess while a woman has sole responsibility for cleaning it up.
An ad that suggests a specific activity is inappropriate for boys because it is stereotypically associated with girls, or vice-versa.

What can be done about this?
Brief and create content that challenges those stereotypes rather than reinforcing them.
In addition, the Drawing the Future report remarks that: 'Less than 1% of children stated they heard about the job from a volunteer from the world of work coming in to school.'
If advertising and marketing is to find the talent of the future, and the diversity of talent that it needs, there's a marketing and advertising job to be done in schools at an early age to create aspirations to join our industry. Get out into schools whenever you can.

Leaders have one job
2014 Marvel.
How many voices do you need for great leadership?
Writer and leadership coach, Amy Jen Su wrote in Harvard Business Review earlier this year that you need to cultivate many different leadership voices rather than simply focussing on trying to appear confident.
She lists five different voices that she says are essential for leadership
– The voice of character, the persona that holds your convictions
– The voice of context, where you communicate perspective
– The voice of clarity that helps prioritise
– The voice of curiosity, where you are able to learn and admit too that you don't know all the answers
– The voice of connection where you acknowledge the contribution of others
She states that "Discovering and developing your voice as a leader is the work of a lifetime."
Indeed it is, but it is also true that you don't actually need all those voices to be developed to the same extent.
It is honestly impossible for most people to be expert in every voice. If you are trying to be brilliant at character, context, clarity, curiosity, and connection then you might be missing something. You might be missing the fact that on your team bench there is someone else who is supremely better at context or curiosity and your true role must be to allow them to take that aspect of leadership and run with it.
At MediaCom we like to talk about the team of experts approach. One of our favourite movies is Avengers Assemble. The plot of this fine example of a Marvel cartoon converted to the big screen involves bringing together a crack team of superheroes with very different skills. Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye, Thor and Black Widow don't necessarily see eye to eye in every respect. They are diverse in values, behaviours and dress sense. Individually none of them can overcome the mega threat posed by Thor's evil brother Loki. Together however (spoiler alert) they are able to save the earth.
It is Nick Fury, leader of the peace keeping organisation S.H.I.E.L.D. who assembles the difficult to manage but brilliant crew. It is Nick Fury's voice which is instrumental in holding the team together to focus on the task in hand.
He does this not by having multiple voices, but by being the consistent voice of focus throughout the chaos of the enemy attacks.
Now when I say Nick Fury, who is after all a fictional character, feel free to imagine Samuel L Jackson who has played the role both on the big screen and on TV. Jackson's persona is said to have informed the writing and characterisation, even before he was cast in the role.
Fury is straight and to the point. He won't take any nonsense from any of this team, no matter how talented: '"I am Iron Man", you think you're the only superhero Mr Stark, you're part of a bigger universe'. He believes in this team, and tells them so: 'I still believe in super heroes.' Sometimes he goes his own way and breaks the rules for his team: 'I recognise that the council has made a decision, but given it's a stupid ass decision I have decided to ignore it.'
Don't worry about many voices. Focus on empowering your team to be super heroes.

Face Recognition Using Artificial Neural Network

In recent years, an explosion in research on pattern recognition systems using neural network methods has been observed. Face Recognition (FR) is a specialized pattern recognition task for several applications such as security: access to restricted areas, banking: identity verification and recognition of wanted people at airports. This thesis will explain what is involved in FR task and outline a complete Face Recognition System (FRS) based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In this work, two FRS are developed. The first model uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for feature extraction from the face images and ANN for the classification purpose. In the second model, combination of Gabor Filter (GF) and PCA are used for feature extraction and ANN for the classification. In the first approach, the face images are projected into subspace called eigenspace, consisting of the eigenvectors from the covariance matrix of the face images. The projection of an image into eigenspace will transform the image into a representation of a lower dimension which aims to hold the most important features of the face. These feature vectors are classified into training, validation and testing set. The training and validation set are used during the training of ANN. The testing set is used to evaluate the recognition performance of the model. In the second approach, Gabor feature vectors are derived from a set of downsampled Gabor wavelet representations of face images, then the dimensionality of the vectors is reduced by means of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and finally ANN is used for classification. The Gabor filtered face images exhibit strong characteristics of spatial locality, scale, and orientation selectivity. These images can, thus, produce salient local features that are most suitable for FR. Experimentation is carried out on FRS by using Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) datasets, the images of which vary in illumination, expression, pose and scale. The result shows the feasibility of the methodology followed in this thesis work. Model 1 achieves a recognition rate of 76.6% whereas model 2 achieves 88.3% of correct classification and performed very efficiently when subjected to new unseen images with a false rejection rate of 0% during testing. The high recognition rate of model 2 shows the efficiency of GF in feature extraction. Key words—Face recognition, biometrics, artificial neural network, Gabor filter and principal component analysis.

Gilles Aillaud [] (* 5. Juni 1928 in Paris; † 24. März 2005 ebenda) war ein französischer Maler, Grafiker, Bühnenbildner und Autor. Er war einer der bedeutenden Vertreter der Narrativen Figuration.

Leben
Der Sohn des französischen Architekten Émile Aillaud begann bereits während seiner Schulzeit zu malen, studierte aber zunächst Philosophie und Literaturwissenschaft an der Sorbonne. Danach hielt er sich in Italien auf. 1949 nahm er die Malerei wieder auf, 1950 stellte er in der Galleria dell'Obelisco erstmals aus. Weitere Ausstellungen folgten in Paris, Turin, Brüssel, New York und Mailand.

Von Bedeutung war die 1961 begonnene Zusammenarbeit mit dem spanischen Künstler Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018) und dem italienischen Maler Antonio Recalcati (* 1938), mit denen er 1965 das Gemeinschaftswerk Vivre et laisser mourir ou La fin tragique de Marcel Duchamp ("Leben und sterben lassen oder Das tragische Ende von Marcel Duchamp") schuf. Im gleichen Jahr übernahm Gilles Aillaud den Vorsitz des Salon de la jeune peinture. Im Rahmen der Studentenaufstände vom Mai 1968 drückte er seinen damaligen politischen Radikalismus durch die Teilnahme an Ausstellungen "antiautoritärer Kunst" und Aufführungen anti-amerikanischer Theaterstücke aus. Seine erste international bedeutende Werkschau fand 1971 im Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris statt.

Ab dem Jahr 1972 entfaltete Aillaud, zunächst in Zusammenarbeit mit Eduardo Arroyo, eine ausgedehnte Tätigkeit auf dem Gebiet des Bühnenbildes. In diesem Bereich arbeitete er mit Theaterregisseuren wie Jean Jourdheuil, Klaus Michael Grüber, Luc Bondy und Giorgio Strehler zusammen. Aufsehen erregte das 1974 zusammen mit Arroyo gestaltete Bühnenbild für die von Grüber an der Berliner Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz inszenierten Bakchen von Euripides. In den 30 Jahren bis zu seinem Tod betätigte sich Aillaud an vielen bedeutenden Bühnen Europas. Seine letzte Arbeit als Bühnenbildner entstand 2005 für die Wiener Festwochen.

Werk
Aillaud lehnte die klassische Idee des Bühnenbildes als bloße Dekoration ab und sah dessen Aufgabe im Sinne von Bertolt Brecht in der Verfremdung und Desillusionierung. Die bevorzugten Motive Aillauds sind eingesperrte Tiere im Zoo oder auf dem Bauernhof und leere Strandlandschaften. Seine Gemälde und Grafiken zeichnen sich durch ihre makellose Kühle und die Art und Weise aus, mit der sie den Betrachter gleichzeitig mittels der Perspektive in das Werk hinein, und durch die Gesamtkomposition aus dem Werk heraus halten.

Yoga has become a huge part of my life this past year. My practice has stretched me physically, mentally, and emotionally in ways I didn't know were possible, and I've reaped rewards far beyond killer triceps and tighter hamstrings.
As a novice, there was a constant temptation to compare myself to other more seasoned yogis in the studio. I'd try desperately to twist and contort my body into the advanced poses they executed with ease. Thoughts of self-doubt would race through my head, and I'd wonder if anyone was watching and ridiculing my form. Oftentimes, it was insecurity, rather than inability, that caused me to topple. It was unnerving, to say the least.
I quickly realized that my negativity was dangerous and could lead to injuries (aka faceplants), or even worse, discouragement. I started letting go of my hang-ups and began trusting my body and intuition. Establishing an honest relationship with myself was crucial, and it allowed me to eventually develop flexibility, balance, strength, and most importantly, confidence.
This was a profound lesson for me. I constantly struggle with high personal expectations and fears of failure, which leads me to be overly self-critical and pessimistic. As I continue to work on myself, I hope to find power to confront my limits, to be resilient when I fall, and have the courage to enjoy my transformation.

When I decide to promote affiliate products, the name is not usually a criterion. But in truth, I requested to highlight Affiliate Jackal because the name intrigued me. I wondered why the product creator, Joseph Latham, used this clever, but seemingly aloof and indolent carnivore to serve as the icon of his work. Joe's provocative question, 'Who Else Wants To Know How I Made $94-$132 Per Day Using Free Traffic In Only 1 hour per day!….", also motivated me to take a closer look. This Affiliate Jackal review was thus borne, and I'm hoping that through it, you'll implement the same type of survival technique as the mysterious jackal.
What is Affiliate Jackal All About?
Jackals are cunning and resourceful but they're not the most industrious animal on the planet. Following Joe's strategies, you'll also learn the concept, 'Work smart, but not necessarily hard.' Now this is a difficult mantra for me to embrace as I've grown up believing that hard work trumps all. But perhaps it's time to use the noggin more efficiently, and figure out what actually can jumpstart affiliate sales in a short period of time. It's about surviving today and perhaps feasting tomorrow. Following the tips in Affiliate Jackal, starving on affiliate goose eggs is less likely to occur.
Specifically, you're going to scavenge off the success of authority sites, such as Facebook and YouTube. Now you fully know about these two powerhouse sites, but Joe also provides 3 other dominant sites that are completely underutilized.
Now I can personally attest to these other sites' ranking strength because at times – well, too many times – my blog entries just cannot muster the same ranking power. It does not matter if my content is more compelling. My blogs simply do not have the trust and citation flow as these other resources.
And while I'm not going to abandon my blogs, and I still believe that in the long-run my better content will eventually win Google's heart, there's no denying that these sites work … and make money for those who use them!
Now I'm going to embrace another mantra, 'If you can't beat them, join them.' I fully intend to utilize these sites and become a 'Jackal of all trades,' so to speak.
Harness the power of one of the most successful forums available – Talk about cheap advertising!
Take advantage of a social event site to increase affiliate commissions – This site is very respected by Google, and your post can appear at the top of rankings minutes after you complete it.
Index these backlinks – These links don't count if they're not indexed. Moreover, if you decide to participate in product launches, highlighting new products when they're introduced to the marketplace, you'll need these links to count in a timely manner. Joe reviews his favorite backlink indexing resource and preferred opinging sites.
Incorporate bonuses to ensure higher conversion rates – Joe generously provides you with a bonus package for you to offer to your visitors / prospective customers. This, in itself, justifies the low present cost of $7.70.
Yes, there is an OTO beyond the main meat-and-potatoes course. It's called the Accelerator because it has the potential to accelerate your affiliate earnings. It's priced at $9.

This one is my favorite!! Our weekends, when you get to rest and just give instructions to get the work done and all the baby chores are taken care of by Papa. Every day I wait for Saturday and I am sure papa also love his weekends.
This Papa-beta (Dad-Son) Jodi when together for a long time tends to forget the world around. They would spend hours in the park, their bathing sessions become water play and stretch for about an hour, they would sing don't know what kind of songs and then laugh out loud when I make confused faces.
Papa has a particular way to make Nemit sleep, singing lullaby and dancing, I don't know how he does this but within minutes Nemit is off to deep sleep. There is a spark in their bonding and it feels good to know that Papa is very clear about his priorities. I love the way how Sumit (Papa) keeps his calm during difficult situations, I remember once Nemit fell on the glass table and his nose started bleeding. I was in shock and crying, all the bad thoughts were coming in my mind but Sumit was calm, first he consoled Nemit, then talked to me and took us to the doc. Papa is our savior.
We have a routine of visiting in-laws once or twice every month and because my mom's house is on the way, we stay there overnight on Friday and leave for in-laws on Saturday. That way Nemit gets to spend time with both the grandmothers and we try to get some baby-free time.
Nani has her special way with Nemit, she has the notion that Nemit is always hungry thus keeps him feeding something or the other all the time, I am already tired of telling her about meal times but no use. Now I let it go!! Nani also has a 'Magical Pitara' which is her big handbag and is always stuffed with things which fascinate Nemit a lot and every time he wants to have a new thing to explore, he brings that pitara, Nani do some magic and Abracadabra! Nemit gets a new thing to play.
Dadi on the other side is so emotional that even the news of us visiting her makes her super excited and teary at the same time. Nemit love his morning walks with dadi, they go and feed cows and dogs and he gets to learn all about kindness. Because Nemit's chachu (uncle) is great at photography, our Saturday evenings are booked for fun photo sessions. We get clicked in all possible lovey-dovey and funny poses. We never miss a chance to collect our memories.
These moments spent with family are sacred & precious because we know the importance of family time. The best thing about Memories is making them and we strongly believe in it!


Mile High, an original new health drink, will arrive in Waitrose stores on September 22, 2008. Formulated by nutritionist Stuart Roberts, the 100% natural and healthy blended juice has been created to provide exceptional antioxidant strength designed to provide a guilt-free pick-me-up. The red grape and cherry variant will be available in the chiller cabinet of 36 selected Waitrose supermarkets nationwide including the Oxford Street store in London.
UK drinks company Mile High Drinks (http://www.milehighdrinks.com) originally developed the natural, not-from-concentrate juice blend to combat the negative effects often experienced when flying. The concept was conceived by Roberts, a naturopathic nutritionist and Richard Hammond (appearing in the BBC's current series of The Restaurant with Raymond Blanc). Hammond has first-hand experience of the effects of long-haul flying after working as cabin crew for 15 years. In 2005, they formed Mile High Drinks with a mission to make an all-natural, tasty and healthy drink. Roberts fine-tuned the recipes to ensure that the final product contained a combination of ingredients that were scientifically proven to have qualities that can help combat jet lag, dehydration, nausea, digestive upsets and infections. The unique way that Mile High blended the ingredients makes the combination much more effective than each individual ingredient alone.
The original drink is also to be sold in a unique packaging format that is new to the UK soft drinks market. Consumers are encouraged to remove the outer sleeve on the bottle to aid the recycling process. The sleeve incorporates two vertical perforations that allow easy and complete removal, and to highlight this important feature, the instructions: "tear here and remove to aid recycling" are printed between the two perforations.
Mile High was developed using the synergy gained by blending multiple natural ingredients with combative properties and high levels of antioxidants. Industry standard tests have shown Mile High to have exceptional antioxidant strength. The resulting blend is a flavourful, everyday drink; ideal for health conscious consumers who, without making dramatic changes to their lifestyle or eating habits, can benefit from all the goodness in Mile High. Because Mile High is going into the chiller cabinet at Waitrose, everyone now has the chance to feel the positive effects of the combination of red grape, aloe vera and ginger without leaving the ground.
Roberts, Managing Director of Mile High Drinks, said: "We know how effective Mile High has been in the air, and we felt it only right that this drink should be available outside of the airport. By putting Mile High into one of the UK's most trusted supermarkets everyone, not just those preparing to fly, can enjoy the health benefits Mile High can offer. While Mile High is best served cold, it does not need to be kept in the fridge to stay fresh: consumers can carry a few bottles in their suitcase, briefcase or handbag, ready for the moment their body needs a boost. Mile High is the perfect antidote to feeling jaded whatever you have been doing".
Mile High Drinks will sponsor the food&drink towers second birthday networking party in London on October 8, 2008. Journalists are invited to attend the party and chat to the Mile High Drinks team by emailing helen@foodanddrinktowers.co.uk to get a place on the guest list.
Richard Hammond worked as aircrew for 15 years and has extensive personal experience of dealing with the effects of jet lag and other adverse symptoms of regular air travel. He also gained an extensive appreciation of how passengers were affected during flights, how they attempted to deal with these problems and how willing they were to try any new products or techniques to combat them.
Stuart Roberts experienced a particularly stressful long haul flight and decided to use his experience as a naturopathic nutritionist to develop Mile High in order to help overcome the undesirable effects suffered by many air travellers. Richard Hammond became ill after 15 years working as aircrew, leading him to leave his job and change his lifestyle to improve his health. Stuart and Richard combined their knowledge and experience to create a product that appeals to aircrew and passengers alike.
The 250ml Mile High Original drink will retail in Waitrose stores from the end of September 2008 at £1.99. All of the fruit used to create Mile High Drinks is sourced from within Europe.
Testimonials from cabin crew and frequent flyers who tried Mile High can be found at http://www.milehighdrinks.com.

February 10, 2009 Comments (6) 1906, Brad Bird, News Like
What Happened to 1906?
As I pointed out in my last article about Brad Bird's future live-action project, it's been a long time since we've heard anything new about the epic, disaster, love story set in San Francisco.
This begs the question, whatever happened to 1906? Jim Hill speculates on the answer.
With an ambitious script, a need for a huge budget and our tough economic times, 1906 is a hard sell. All that, combined with having to please three studios (Warner Bros., Disney and Pixar) has Brad Bird in a pinch. The article enlightens us on what exactly is taking this movie so long to start official production and compares it to Titanic. That's where the problem comes in, studios don't have the safety at these times for a titanic budget, which is required for a film of this scale.
Read the full article over here, it's even got a little tidbit about a prospective sequel to a movie about a certain family of super heroes…

rachelcakes1985 says:
Someone on the IMDb forums said that 1906 was going to be filmed at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia. I'm not sure how true that is. Maybe they are scouting for locations at the moment.
This movie seems to have been stuck in development hell for quite some time now. I would love for it to be made by Pixar and directed by Brad Bird, along with Warner Bros. or whichever studio they end up going with. It would be a shame for Pixar to waste all of this time and money trying to get this film off the ground and it doesn't end up happening, especially as Brad seems to feel a connection with this material. But if there's any Pixar director to against two studios at once, it would be him.
It would be good if Brad could simultaneously work on both 1906 and The Incredibles 2. That movie badly needs a sequel and it's taking forever! But judging by the production of The Incredibles, he's a one-movie-at-a-time kind of guy.
Just a reminder, take EVERYTHING that hack jim hill writes on with a large grain of salt. Half of that "article" is well known, the other half wild speculation by someone (hill) who doesn't know a hill of beans about what he's talking about. I like fan sites as much as anyone, but I thought this site was above posting badly written conjecture by someone like jim hill. Here's hoping you scrap this article/links altogether.
Good point, Rachelcakes! He's a non-entity, constantly trying to prove his importance. I've read him enough to know not to.
I didn't make that point, another Anon did. 😉
Upcoming Pixar used to post and link to Jim Hill articles, then they stopped… Even though he is an animation veteran I really don't believe anything he says any more. He's so anti-Pixar it's not even funny. I would like to know exactly why he holds that attitude. Maybe sometime in the past John Lasseter cut in front of him in line, who knows? =D
Thanks for posting this guys. I was wondering what happened to this project. I remember the writer for this (for got his name) coming to Cinequest in San Jose and talking up how this would be a tentpole release for summer 2006. It seemed like they were inent to release it then, being the 100-year mark and all, but I've often wondered where it went.
To bad I don't have half a bill sitting around cuz if I did I'd finance it myself and be pretty confident of getting at least x3 that back in the long run.
I read about this news on Jim Hill's site a few days ago….
So let me get this straight: The Walt Disney Company, who was well and able to splurge over $200 million on Chicken Little, are hesitant to fund Brad Bird's equally ambitious project? This is Brad Bird we're talking about here — the guy who shelled out such box office hits/productions as "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille" — and it's reported that Disney Studios, along with Warner Bros. (I'm leaving Pixar out of this since they already have enough hits to their name at the present time), is unwilling to support what may possibly be a huge success in the entertainment industry, even after they've admitted that this project ("1906") will most likely garner a significant pool of dough? I'm fully aware that the economy currently sucks — heck, I can testify of it — , and if Brad's having story problems then that's different (although I'm sure it's nothing he can't fix), but why are the aforementioned studios suddenly so afraid to spend millions on talent when they know the results will be profitable? I don't get it. Poor Brad….

Homewhere time passes (listen)Folk worth talking about'Dr William Brodum"
Mimi Matthews in this blog describes how patent medicines were everywhere in he 18th and 19th century:
"These various powders, potions, elixirs, and cordials were primarily peddled by quacks, some of whom purported to be doctors from respected universities. The claims they made on behalf of their products were extraordinary. According to advertisements of the era, a restorative cordial or tonic could do practically anything, from curing dropsy in children to curing impotence in men and hysteria in women. Some even proclaimed that they could cure a fellow of the desire to engage in that "solitary, melancholy practice" s (masturbation)."
I would recommend reading Mimi Matthews blog in full, as what follows here are edited extracts:
An 1805 edition of The London Medical and Physical Journal titled "Of Quacks and Empiricism" set out the facts of Brodum's life: not only was Dr. William Brodum not a doctor, but he was not even William Brodum. His real name was Issachar Bear Cohen. The article states:
"We announce that he was born in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark; in the streets of which he early exercised a public profession, that of hawking and selling ribbons, similar to some of his brethren in London, who dispose of shoe-strings in every avenue near the Royal Exchange."
In 1787, at the age of twenty, Cohen migrated to London where he went into the service of Dr. Lamert – purveyor of Switzer's Balm.
It was while out hawking Switzer's Balm that Cohen met a widow who esteemed him very highly. She lived in a town where an apothecary by the name of Brodum had recently died. The widow encouraged Cohen to take the name of Brodum. She also gave him a smart set of clothes. Not long after, the man now known as William Brodum was admitted as a partner in Lamert's business where he began to represent himself as a surgeon who had served in America with the Hessian army. But Brodum was not satisfied with being a mere surgeon. He had an eye toward becoming a physician. As luck would have it, at that time in history, at certain Universities:
"…the professors have been in the practice of conferring the degree of doctor of medicine, without the least examination, or personal knowledge of the candidate; but merely on the recommendation of some respectable physician."
After finding such a physician to recommend him, Brodum was appointed a Doctor of Physic by the University of Aberdeen:
[It is understood that this 'DIPLOMA' cost William Brodum13 guineas]
What Brodum lacked in medical knowledge, he made up for in "the science of knowing the weakness of human nature." Passing himself off as a "learned graduate of the University of Aberdeen" (a place that he had never seen before in his life), Brodum rapidly rose to fame and fortune peddling his Nervous Cordial.
"This medicine was chiefly the old formula of the decoction of the woods, consisting of sassafras, guaiacum, and a few other articles, which [Brodum] procured of Mr. Chamberlin, an eminent chemist in Fleet Street. The decoction is well edulcorated with sugar or molasses, and sold at six shillings and sixpence a bottle, or one pound two shilling for five bottles."
Brodum's income in 1805 was estimated at five thousand pounds per annum and he was known to own "the most superb carriage in the metropolis," in which he rode through the streets "in the midst of a gaping and admiring multitude." He was a convivial man, a true salesman, and was widely liked not only for his Nervous Cordial, but for the generous donations he made to worthy causes – donations for which he made sure he was always credited in the newspaper.
The following comes from a blog written for the Wellcome Library: The Georgian medicine vendor as physician: William Brodum
William Brodum was one of several members of the Georgian medical fringe who were portrayed by caricaturists . . . Brodum is dignified by an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography , where evidence is cited that he was a Danish Jew, born Issachar Cohen in Copenhagen around 1767. He came to England around 1787 to work for another medicine vendor (Dr Bossy), using the name William Brodum. He obtained an Aberdeen M.D. degree in 1791, and from his house at 9 Albion Street, Blackfriars Road, London, launched his own career as a medicine vendor, specializing in two product lines: "Doctor Brodum's Botanical Syrup for the cure of scorbutic, leprous and scrofulous complaints" and "Doctor Brodum's Nervous Cordial for the cure of consumptive, nervous and debilitated constitutions, and people who have been in hot countries". His advertising for these products included a lot of code words that were euphemisms for syphilis (debility, leprosy, nervous weakness etc.), and the same insinuation was gracefully made in the title and body of a two-volume publication, Guide to old age, or, A cure for the indiscretions of youth (1795), dedicated to King George III, whose favour he received.
Brodum was therefore both a commercial medicine vendor and a doctor of medicine. Since the two professions were theoretically distinct and incompatible, problems could arise with the regulatory bodies, one of which was the Royal College of Physicians of London. In practice, this combination was not unusual at the time: Sir Hans Sloane, Dr Robert James, and Dr Richard Mead were among physicians associated with proprietary medicines (chocolate in Sloane's case), a fact which led one commentator to ask "Have not members of the College dined at Dr Brodum's table?" In any case, Brodum was summoned before the College and told he could not accept consultation fees and should remove from his house the brass plate which described him as "Dr Brodum". Brodum refused to accept this ruling, and the academic authorities in Aberdeen did not appreciate the College's scorn for the value of their doctorate. Brodum continued to visit patients for an advertised cost of 5 guineas a week, while outpatients could visit him at his house every Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
The following summary comes from: The Patent Medicines Industry in late Georgian England: A
Respectable Alternative to both Regular Medicine and Irregular Practice by Mackintosh:
Contemporary observers frequently bestowed the title of 'quack' on the irregular owners. The most notorious was William Brodum (died 1824):
Brodum was regarded as an irregular practitioner, with medicine ownership only as part of his practice.
He was very successful, earning an estimated £5,000 a year from selling medicines. He attracted widespread criticism and satire, with his name repeatedly being used as an exemplar of quackery.
