How to Bounce Back from a Workplace Injury
There are certain types of jobs that are considered to be particularly dangerous compared to other occupations. Working in industries like manufacturing, construction, mining, and transportation come with certain occupational hazards that, with proper safety protocols and procedures, are often carefully mitigated. Of course, these protocols are subject to human error and aren't always foolproof. When accidents happen, what options do workers have when they become injured? What are the avenues available for employees that become momentarily unable to work due to their injuries?
Through the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, the U.S. Department of Labor reported some 2.9 million cases of private industry injuries for the year 2013. In these reports, the federal agency found that the most common accidents that occur in the workplace include slip and fall accidents, repetitive motion injuries, toxic substance exposure, and incidents involving equipment malfunction.
Regardless of the specific circumstances, it's quite clear that many of these accidents could have all been easily avoided if employers are committed to the fact that they are responsible for creating a safe working environment. When accidents occur in the workplace, employers should be ready to assist their employees by providing them with the workers' compensation benefits that they are entitled to.
If you or anyone you know have been injured due to an accident that occurred in the workplace, it's important to seek appropriate legal counsel as soon as possible. The pursuit of workers' compensation claims is often a long and arduous process. Having an effective lawyer in your corner can definitely speed up the process, allowing you to receive your benefits as soon as possible. Find a qualified attorney with sufficient experience in workers' compensation that is working in your area.read more
Head Injuries and Workers' Compensation
A head injury is one of the most serious accidents that can happen in the workplace. A blow to the head can be life-threatening and can cause serious, long-lasting disabilities. If an employee suffers a head injury related to work, he or she is entitled to workers' compensation benefits. These benefits can include compensation to cover medical costs and two-thirds of lost wages. The benefits vary depending on the severity on the injury and the circumstances surrounding the accident.
In the case of a traumatic brain injury, workers' compensation can be more complicated. A traumatic brain injury victim may experience severe and debilitating cognitive impairments such as vision problems, lack of coordination, slurred speech, or changes in personality or emotional responses. The costs of recovering from a traumatic brain injury can be incredibly high and can quickly reach six figures. If an employee suffers a traumatic brain injury, the employer may be responsible for providing benefits for the remainder of the injured individual's life.
Occupations that carry the highest risk of a head injury are construction workers, firefighters, police officers, loading dock workers, delivery workers, athletes, and race car drivers. Workers who sustain head injuries are especially likely to experience unforeseen physical effects that only manifest themselves after the accident.
Individuals experiencing head injuries in the workplace may also receive workers' compensation benefits from manufacturers of malfunctioning equipment, negligent property owners, or reckless employees from other associated companies. The exact terms of the compensation are dependent upon the specific experience and situation. If you experience a head injury in the workplace, seeking immediate medical attention and immediately reporting the incident to your employer by filing a "first report of injury" form are essential. By taking the first step to file a claim for workers' compensation, you can get the benefits you are legally entitled to.read more

There are more than 200 results, only the first 200 are displayed here.
Francis does not pretend to have answers to the big questions which will confront world leaders when they gather in Paris. But he does think the science is IN, and the evidence is clear that much of the climate change, loss of biodiversity and water shortages are the result of human action. We are blessed to have a pope who speaks to all the world about the prudence, justice and empathy required so that more people on our planet might enjoy integral human development.
The journalist Claud Cockburn once said that Catholics could never bet on the election of a pope because they believed it was all up to the Holy Spirit. He was mistaken — many Catholics then and now would place a bet on anything and everything. His reasoning also overlooked the Catholic understanding that human beings cooperate with the Holy Spirit. But his association of God's action with the election and actions of popes provides a lens for looking at the recently concluded Synod on the Family.
Francis knows there are all sorts of issues inside and outside the Church where for too long people with power have tried to keep the lid on, in the hope that the problems and complexities will go away, often by parodying those who see the problems or complexities as small 'l' liberals or cafeteria Catholics. He delights in being joyful and troubled while contemplating big problems, calling people of good will to the table of deliberation reminding them of the kernel of the Christian gospels. He has the faith and hope needed to lift the lid without fear and without knowing the answers prior to the dialogue occurring.
There is always an appetite for anything linking Tony Abbott and Bob Santamaria. The journalist in Abbott has encouraged observers to play up the links, even though it has never been entirely clear what he is saying. He has explained that he was impressed as a young man by Santamaria's courage as an 'advocate for unfashionable truths', but he also pays his public dues to a number of prominent figures including John Howard, Cardinal George Pell, John Hewson, Bronwyn Bishop and even Pope Benedict XVI.
When addressing Italian doctors last November, Pope Francis quoted St. Camillus de Lellis who suggested that the most effective method in caring for the sick was simply to 'Put more heart into those hands.' Let's do something to change the market settings and political settings here in Australia to modify the behaviour of all Australians in the future, and let's attend to our own Franciscan interior ecological conversion with our care for the vulnerable.
Pope Francis is not the first pope to address a social encyclical to everyone. But in comparison with his predecessors, Francis has been more inclusive in the process of writing the encyclical and in the final content of the document. He quotes from 17 different conferences of Catholic bishops. He is at pains to indicate that he is collaborative and that he takes the principle of subsidiarity very seriously. Being the final redactor of the text, he has felt free to interpolate some very folksy advice from time to time. He has also taken the liberty of inserting some very blunt, evocative images of environmental and economic devastation.
In a series of articles, The Australian newspaper has strongly criticised the new encyclical Laudato Si', with editor-at-large Paul Kelly charging that the Pope has 'delegitimised as immoral' pro-market economic forces. This is wrong. Pope Francis is not opposed to the free market in principle, but insists that it be well regulated to ensure social justice for all involved.
Journalist Michael O'Loughlin is national reporter for Crux, the Boston Globe's regular supplement on Catholic Church issues. His book The Tweetable Pope: A Spiritual Revolution in 140 Characters, to be published in September. In this video interview, he analyses the US Bishops' response to the recent US Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage.
The interdependence of human beings on one another underlies the Catholic insistence that the dignity of all human beings must be respected, so that the test of any society is how it treats its most vulnerable members. Laudato Si extends that solidarity to the natural world.
Laudatio si is an extraordinary document addressed to 'every living person on this planet'. Ecological issues are no longer an after thought but up there with social justice and equity in an incisive, practical, realistic and far-reaching encyclical that tackles the most important issues facing us honestly and with absolute integrity. It will upset a lot of apple carts in the Church and in the world.
'In discussing Australia's asylum seeker policies Frank laments the government's deaf ear to calls from the churches, his own included, for a greater measure of compassion and a better way of dealing with the issue of boat people. Frank wryly comments: 'If only the Abbott Government with its disproportionate number of Jesuit alumni cabinet ministers could listen.' Paul Bongiorno launches Fr Frank Brennan SJ's book Amplifying That Still, Small Voice at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Canberra, 8 June 2015.
They spoke in Spanish and there was genuine Latin American warmness between them during Sunday's historic 55 minute meeting at the Vatican. They will meet again when Francis visits Cuba in September. Castro promised Francis that he would be attending every one of his masses, reminding him that he is a Jesuit alumnus: 'I'm as Jesuit as the Pope'.

Google has finally released the open beta for the next version of its mobile operating system! Introducing to you the new Android P features.
If you have one of these devices (Essential Phone, Sony Xperia XZ2, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, Nokia 7 Plus, Oppo R15 Pro e Vivo X21 and Pixel), you can move forward with the beta of Android P. but be careful: it is easy to install the new operating system, but if you regret or this is not very stable, going back implies taking back an old version of Android and losing all data on the device.
Wind Down
Using this feature, you can set the nighttime bedtime. Your smartphone automatically takes on the "do not disturb" profile by switching the screen to gray tones.
Screen illumination has also been improved by introducing artificial intelligence to identify the brightness of user preferences. The feature works by adjusting brightness level under light conditions in the new Adaptive Brightness feature.
This is a feature that lets you know how much time you spend with your smartphone in a detailed way. Providing time spent on sending messages, surfing the internet, making calls, or accessing streaming content. This feature can be added to some applications with a tendency to be used for a long time, like YouTube. It triggers messages of pause recommendations when configured by users.
In addition, the new operating system debuts the Slices system, which allows application developers to use the Android API to introduce contextual suggestions associated with using the apps. If you search for a taxi, you will be presented with the option to call a car without having to open its application.
Apps, in general, will also benefit from artificial intelligence to introduce more contextual functionality based on their use.
Google has been increasingly concerned with device autonomy. To extend the battery, a monitoring application has been introduced, quickly connecting to the save mode when it reaches certain charge values. In addition, the system adapts to the use of open applications more frequently, restricting energy to the rest.
There are many other features you can explore in the new Android P, such as new gesture actions and the mapping of closed locations on Google Maps, such as shopping centers. Security and privacy are also issues in the operating system.
How did you like the new features of the upcoming Android version? Feel free to provide your comments and concerns in the comment section. Also share the new Android P features that you know.

I set up a website for music reviews just a month ago. It was my so-called 'passion project'. It's a super niche subject for a blogsite so I never had hopes of gaining a big number of subscribers or followers but I wish for it to get some readers who are as passionate with music as I am. I later decided on setting up another blogsite, which is where you are reading from now to tackle a wider variety of subjects, and to share my perspective on those subjects as a "Tita". I am by the way in that very small gap between a Gen X and a Millennial, but I am embracing the moniker. I claim that "Tita" is the new power tag for Single girls. Tios are welcome here too. Welcome to my little space.

Hidden Spinach Healthy Guacamole
This Hidden Spinach Healthy Guacamole tastes like the homemade guacamole you know and love, but with the addition of vitamin-packed, vibrantly green spinach! Serve it as a chip dip, slather it onto tacos, or use it as a healthy toast topper.
I have this bad habit of not eating as many veggies as I know I should. Which is why, as some of you may know, I like to sneak them into my food when I'm not looking. Smoothies are the usual veggie vessel, sneaking in a few cups of kale or spinach per glass. But I've also been known to hide vegetables in pies, pasta sauces, and brownies. You could call it a hobby.
Today we're adding another hidden veggie recipe to the mix…Hidden Spinach Healthy Guacamole! We're essentially just pureeing spinach into a paste then mixing it into a classic guacamole. The bright green spinach makes this guacamole a showstopper without detracting at all from the mouth-watering guacamole flavor we all know and love.
Hidden Spinach Healthy Guacamole
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach
- 3 medium avocados ripe
- 1 lime juiced
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion about 1/4 onion
- 1 jalapeno deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ cup chopped tomato
- Salt and pepper to taste
- With a handheld immersion blender or a food processor, blend spinach, 2 of the avocados, and lime juice until a smooth puree is formed, scraping down the sides to get everything mixed nicely.
- Chop the remaining avocado into small chunks, then mix and mash into the puree, along with the onion, jalapeno, and garlic.Once you reach a consistency to your liking, stir in the tomatoes.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to suit your taste and stir once more to combine.
To keep guacamole from browning, spoon leftover guac into a bowl and lay plastic wrap directly onto the top of the guacamole, squishing out any air between the guac and plastic wrap (air = browning!)

Having coffee with an old friend tonight made me think about my past and realize that there was a single moment, completely out of my control, that set the course for my entire life. When I was four months old my mom was looking for a babysitter for me so she could go back to work, and she investigated various daycare providers without finding anyone she liked. Until she met Moga, who for whatever reason she trusted enough to take care of me. Sometimes Moga would take me to church in the evenings when my parents were working late; eventually I began attending Awana and I became a Christian.
I know a lot of people who are reasonably unhappy, discontent, disillusioned, and rudderless in life despite (in some cases) outward signs of success, and I know that I could have been one of them if my mom had dropped me off with another babysitter. My parents aren't practicing Christians, and there's no way I would have learned about God or began attending my church if it weren't for my Moga.
Since my childhood, then, my faith has shaped every facet of my life, influencing everything from my choice of schools, my jobs, my friends, and my wife. I'm incredibly, unbelievably blessed in every area of life, and God began that blessing when he guided my mom to Moga's house. I had no part in it, yet I'm reaping the rewards of that simple act of divine intervention. No one had any idea that day that the path of my life had been determined in that moment, but looking back it's clear that it was.
What moment defined your life?

Ex-FBI Lawyer Testifies to House Panels on 2016 Anti-Trump Texts
Bloomberg News,
(Bloomberg) -- Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page was praised by congressional investigators as largely cooperative on Friday, answering questions mostly about her 2016 text-message exchanges with FBI Agent Peter Strzok that were critical of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"There is new information we've been able to gain today," Representative Mark Meadows said of the closed-interview, which lasted about four hours.
While refusing to provide details, Meadows, a North Carolina Republican, and other lawmakers said Page was more forthcoming than had been Strzok, who on Thursday refused during a long, rancorous public hearing to answer some questions. He repeatedly told lawmakers he was following the instructions of FBI lawyers in declining to answer. Strzok, unlike Page, remains employed by the FBI.
Congressional Republicans had taken a far sharper tone earlier this week when Page, on the advice of her lawyer, refused to appear before investigators despite a subpoena. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, the chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia threatened to initiate contempt proceedings against her. But she appeared on Friday voluntarily.
Meadows and other members of the Oversight panel have been working with the Judiciary Committee in a joint inquiry that they say is intended to determine whether the early stages of the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election were tainted by political bias.
Party Lines
The president and his supporters have cited the Page-Strzok texts as proof that the FBI and the Justice Department had an anti-Trump agenda.
Democrats led by top Judiciary Committee Democrat Jerrold Nadler of New York on Friday continued to cast the Republican-driven effort as a campaign to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller's inquiry into Russian meddling and whether anyone in the Trump campaign was involved in it.
Page did not speak to reporters as she arrived for her closed-door interview, which FBI lawyers also attended.
Meadows and others said they weren't ready to detail what new information she revealed about the text messages with Strzok -- with whom she was romantically involved -- as well as early FBI actions and decisions in the Russia inquiry. But they uniformly described her as willing to cooperate.
A congressional official in the room who was granted anonymity to discuss the proceedings, said Page refused to answer some questions. That occurred, the official said, when Gowdy pressed for more details of the use of confidential sources who had assisted the FBI in the initial stages of the investigation.
"There were times when FBI counsel instructed Lisa Page not to provide answers, but she was more forthcoming than Peter Strzok," said GOP Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida.
"Lisa Page is not an FBI employee. But the FBI was here providing counsel and giving her direction about which questions to answer or not answer. And there is a question as to the propriety of that before the House," he added. But Gaetz said no attorney-client privilege was actually cited during the interview.
Page's questioning is to continue on Monday. No public hearing has been set for her, and none is "on the horizon," Meadows said.

Lehman's bankruptcy definitely paid off.
Or it paid off for the attorneys and advisors winding it down, anyway.
Bill reports filed with the bankruptcy court yesterday say that, in the year since its collapse, Lehman paid 23 law firms, financial advisers and consulting firms $402.9 million in fees and expenses.
The firms and advisors, however, brought in a ton of cash -- Lehman's U.S. units now have more than $12 million, up $8.5 million from when they filed for bankruptcy last year.
The Wall Street Journal breaks down who got what.
- Wind-down firm Alvarez & Marsal was paid $169.3 million; it had 175 full-time employees working on the bankruptcy.
- Weil, Gotshal & Manges, and $950 per hour partner Harvey Miller, received $98.6 million.
- Milbank, Tweed clocked in at $29.2.
The fees are still rolling in, of course -- the WSJ notes experts estimate the cost the total cost of unwinding Lehman will be between $800 million and $1.4 billion.

Blackcurrants could be a green source of hair dye
Traditional synthetic hair dyes can be quite toxic, not only to our bodies, but also to the environment. As a result, scientists are developing non-toxic dyes based on substances such as graphene. Now, it appears that waste blackcurrant skins can also do the job.Continue Reading

This procedure is performed to relieve pressure on the median nerve, alleviating the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome and restoring normal sensation to the hand and fingers. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis.
The surgeon creates a small incision in the palm of the hand to expose the transverse carpal ligament. A thin metal guide is inserted between the transverse carpal ligament and the median nerve to protect the median nerve during the surgery. The surgeon carefully cuts the carpal ligament, creating more space in the carpal tunnel. This relieves the pressure on the median nerve.

One of the few remaining universal truths is that healthcare costs are too high. Insurance companies are bucking under the pressure from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and they are willing to try almost anything if it means reducing costs.
With a shiny $8.5million Series A from Norwest Venture Partners, NextHealth will be making that exact promise of reducing healthcare costs to U.S. insurance companies over the coming months.
NextHealth's pitch to insurance companies is very similar to OPower's pitch to utility companies . If you can target customers most likely to be overspending, you can generate efficiencies that make the entire ecosystem money. Whereas OPower's rise was fueled by the regulatory environment, NextHealth is being supported by both the failings of the ACA and the innate properties of the insurance industry.
The company is using a mix of behavioral science and predictive analytics to project out specific customers, in a post-ACA world, that could save a lot on healthcare with just a few relatively simple lifestyle changes. While a dramatic drop has occurred in the rate of uninsured Americans, the new customers have broken many traditional models of predictive analytics in the insurance space.
"Insurers were very surprised by the staggering losses from new members because they were uninsured before," said Casper de Clercq, General Partner at Norwest Venture Partners.
Fortunately, new patient behavior follows identifiable patterns. For example, a 2007 New England Healthcare Institute report estimated that U.S. patients waste nearly $38 billion dollars every year on unnecessary emergency room visits. That's almost enough money to give one Chipotle burrito bowl to every man, woman, and child on the planet. NextHealth wants to nudge these people into more sustainable care habits.
To solve the problem, NextHealth's has to combine effective targeting with smart applications of existing data-sets. The platform parses through membership data, demographic data, lifestyle data, and geospatial data to pick out specific individuals with a likelihood of successful targeted outreach. For example, a young mother might have little experience with the emergency room. She may have heard about long wait times, but feel that the ER is the only option for after hours support.
Next, a case-specific campaign is developed that can involve a telephone call, email, letter, and even refrigerator magnet with information about location-specific healthcare options like telemedicine and urgent care. To ensure intervention accuracy, NextHealth regularly performs statistical analysis against control groups. To date, 25 percent of patients targeted have accepted the nudge and abandoned the ER for all but critical needs.
"We can use machine learning to know what worked and easily turn off what isn't working," said Eric Grossman, CEO of NextHealth.
Common sense would tell us that every dollar of reduction in claims means a dollar of additional profit for insurers, but it doesn't quite work like that. Insurers are required to spend 85 percent of revenue on claims and are limited to 15 percent to cover administrative overhead and generate profit. However, because NextHealth is considered an operational expense, it is counted in the first 85 percent bucket for regulators.
Once a partnership starts, insurers have two options. They can use NextHealth as a standalone service, or they can fork over full turn key access to member outreach using insurer branding.
NextHealth is currently working with eight insurance companies and half have opted to give the company marketing power in exchange for a promise to return fees at 2.5X. The company puts about half its fees at risk in the process and gains when insurers gain.
While the platform already monitors about 2 million members, Grossman is brainstorming new use cases, like targeted outreach to remind people to get cancer screenings.

There's a whole bunch of preview screenings for this film on Sunday morning and some still available for Saturday morning too. Links at the end...
|Original Movie poster
Now the problem is that the original is one of those films that was a big hit when it came out and hence holds a lot of nostalgic and sentimental value to millions of fans. However the film itself isn't necessarily considered that great from a quality point of view. So does the remake add to the quality issues, critics and non fans, would have with the first film, and hence be a better film, a film that will be well reviewed, or will it just be the same film in a new setting? Same film, new setting will mean it is likely to be poorly received by the 80e generation as an inferior remake and without that mysterious driving force that made the original a hit, will it fade into obscurity and poor box office?
One of the drivers behind the original's success is without a doubt the film's soundtrack. It was huge, as an album it was number one in several countries (including a 10 week stretch in America) and spawned several top 10 and number 1 hits around the world, including the theme song, Let's Hear it for The Boy & (eventually) Holding out for a Hero. Four of the songs from the original soundtrack have also been remade (another tirade is imminent I suspect) and you can see who is singing the new versions of those songs from the track listings of both albums below. There's also a chance to hear snippets from the original version below.
Here's a full track list for the new soundtrack
1. Footloose Blake Shelton
2. Where The River Goes Zac Brown of Zac Brown Band
3. Little Lovin' Lissie
4. Holding Out For A Hero Ella Mae Bowen
5. Let's Hear It For The Boy Jana Kramer
6. So Sorry Mama Whitney Duncan
7. Fake I.D. Big & Rich feat. Gretchen Wilson
8. Almost Paradise Victoria Justice & Hunter Hayes
9. Walkin' Blues Cee Lo Green feat. Kenny Wayne Shepherd
10. Window Paine The Smashing Pumpkins
11. Suicide Eyes A Thousand Horses
12. Dance The Night Away David Banner
Original 1984 soundtrack
1. Footloose Kenny Loggins
2. Let's Hear It for the Boy Deniece Williams
3. Almost Paradise Mike Reno and Ann Wilson
4. Holding Out for a Hero Bonnie Tyler
5. Dancing In the Sheets Shalamar
6. I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man) Kenny Loggins
7. Somebody's Eyes Karla Bonoff
8. The Girl Gets Around Sammy Hagar
9. Never Moving Pictures
Have a listen and see what you think of the originals...
So are you holding out for a fantastic remake or trembling at fears of an inferior copy? Me I have no issues with remakes over the issues I have with any other films. No matter the source the film either needs to be good or it needs to be entertaining (they are not always the same thing)
"Writer/Director Craig Brewer ("Hustle & Flow," "Black Snake Moan") delivers a new take of the beloved 1984 classic film, "Footloose." Ren MacCormack (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont's local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister's troubled daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough) in the process."

Classic red is just a style tradition. You can't go without wearing red during the holiday season. It's about as normal as drinking water. What I love is the variations of red. This coat was one I got last year from my church. It was around the time I really wasn't working and couldn't afford to get a warm coat.
God took care of me and blessed me with not one but about 7 coats! It was amazing like truly amazing. This is one of my favorites because of the silhouette and color. Bright red, it's honestly a show stopper coat that will forever be in style. Brand is Perry Ellis, and it's from their portfolio collection.
The collar is one of the reason why I fell in love and the buttons on the side of the armhole gives it an added flare. I'm looking to reconstruct this a few other coats. Adding a few more details but for now I'm enjoying it just the way it is! A great way to boost your wardrobe is getting an oversize coat it's perfect for days where it so could you need to wear twenty layers plus your coat! Trust me, grab a coat like this and it will all fit! Ha!
Inspiration for this look was Cruella DeVile, I used the color story as my concept. Red always reminds me of her lip and the white and black gave me the idea of my leopard print blouse. I went for a city girl style, pairing my blouse with blue was highwaist just and black stilettos. I love contrast colors. It's something about contrasting colors that make an outfit works even more.

Coat - Thrifted from The Rock Church

SEO for Dummies
Much has been said about SEO, which is short for search engine optimization.
According to a study conducted at MediaPost last year, US companies will have spent over $65 billion dollars for their yearly search engine optimization campaigns. The figure will only grow in the coming years with $72 B on 2018 and $79 B the year after (source).
Simply put, there is money to be made with SEO, which explains why people are throwing money on SEO campaigns for their businesses. Therefore, if you want to understand how this strategy can help your online business achieve greater heights, then read on and determine for yourself if you want to jump into the SEO pit.
What is SEO?
Search engine optimization is the process of getting a website to rank in search results for your target keyword. (note: Here's what you need to create a website)
"Target keyword" refers to search queries you enter on the search engine bar. For example, if you have a nail salon business in Dallas, TX, you want to be seen in search results when someone enters "nail salon Dallas" or "nail spa texas".
"Search results" are pages that rank for your target keyword. This is where search rankings come into place. Search engines reward web pages with content that is most relevant to the search query.
If our hypothetical nail salon ranks on the fourth or fifth page of Google search result (there are ten results for every page) for "nail salon Dallas," then it means that there are over 40-50 sites that provide more relevant and useful data than yours about the search query.
According to the April 2017 data of Advanced Web Ranking, the top search result generated just below 30% user clicks on desktops and a shy of 25% on mobile devices. The second and third results received a click-through rate of an average of 15% and 10%, respectively, on desktop and mobile. The other results only garnered single digits, which gives you all the more reason to rank your site not lower than the third place in search results.
When it comes to SEO, there is only search engine that you want to focus all your energies on. I'm talking about Google. With over 3.5 billion searches per day according to InternetLiveStats.com, there is no question that Google is the top search engine in the market for the time being.
Next to Google is Bing, a Microsoft-owned search engine company that is slowly climbing the ranks. It currently sits at 21.6% shares of desktop searches with over 63% for Google according to comScore. Much of its strengths lie in its voice search feature available in Windows 10 with the "Hey Cortana" command.
Voice is making a strong case for the future of search and Bing is well-positioned in that regard. However, in the meantime, if you want to drive organic traffic to your site from the old-fashioned desktop search (or even mobile), then Google is all you need to rank for at the moment.
The higher the ranking of a page in search results, the more relevant it is about the target keyword. That's why SEO is so important to a business, especially online businesses.
The methods on how to rank your site on the first result of the organic search will be discussed later.
SEO for Dummies: How to do SEO?
Here are 3 main things on how to do SEO for Dummies:
- Keyword research
- On-page optimization
- Off-page linking
1. First thing first – keyword research
At the very heart of every successful SEO campaign is your ability to choose the best keywords for your site. Researching for the right keywords can be a painstaking process.
Ideally, you want to find keywords with the most search volume and the least competition. However, both are almost exclusive to each other – keywords with the most search volume have the most competition while the least competition has little to no search volume at all.
Eventually, if you need to succeed in SEO, you need to look for profitable keywords in your niche. After choosing those keywords, run SEO campaigns to test and see which among the keywords produce the best results.
Keyword research is not a guesswork. You can utilize tools to help you when conducting a keyword search. Helpful tools such as,
2. On-Page SEO
On-page SEO refers to variables that you can control and optimize your site pages to boost your search rankings.
For WordPress based websites, you can install SEO plugins. Otherwise, website builder such as Weebly also come along with the features to help you on this.
Keywords and relevant phrases in the right place
This includes placing your keywords and other relevant phrases in your page title, URL, and content sub headings (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc).
To do this, you need to have the basic HTML knowledge and it's not difficult to learn at all.
Site architecture
Creating a well-defined hierarchy for your site pages allows search engine spiders to crawl your site faster. You can implement a sitemap on your site as it can tell search engines more about the organization of your site content.
Also, from a user experience standpoint, you present your content in a clear manner that makes navigating on your site much easier.
There are two reasons why your site mobile-friendliness is important to your site rankings.
- In April 2015, Google has stated clearly that they are boosting the ranking of mobile-friendly pages on mobile search results. So if your competitors' sites are mobile friendly and yours are not; then very likely they will overtake your search positions.
- Google is now running on a mobile-first index. This means Google will create and rank its search listings based on the mobile version of the content, even for listings that are shown to desktop users.
To check if your site is mobile-friendly, you can examine individual pages with the Mobile-Friendly Test or check the status of your entire site through the Mobile Usability report in Webmaster Tools.
Site speed
Google has stated it clearly that site speed is one of its many ranking factors. This means your site may rank higher if it's loading quick.
Also – the faster you deliver your pages to users, the more likely they will stay on your site to view your content. This in return, generates good user engagement date (low bounce rates), which will further improve your Google rankings (studies show that lower bounce rates often equals to higher rankings at Google).
If your current site speed is slow – here are 14 tips to speed up your site. Also, the speed of your web hosting is one of the common causes of this.
Site audit
- HTTP status codes – Determine if the pages can be viewed by users, are redirected, or have errors regarding the client or server side.
- Broken links – Find out if your pages are linking to broken pages, whether within your site or to other site pages.
- Meta tags – Check and see if you have unique meta tags (title and description) on all your pages. Also, sees if you have duplicate meta tags that need to be resolved.
- Image sizes – Analyzes all the file sizes of the pictures on your server. Ideally, all images should not go over the 100k limit.
- Duplicate content – Find out if your site has more than one page with the same content so you can either remove the duplicate page, redirect one to the other, or label rel=canonical on the correct link.
To help you with on-page optimization, here are the free tools you can use:
- Google Webmaster Tools – to check HTML improvements, site speed metrics, keyword insights, etc.
- BuzzStream Meta Tag Extractor – pulls title tags, keywords and meta description of URLs.
- Google Developers PageSpeed Insights – The tool to measure the performance of a page on both mobile devices and desktop devices.
- GTmetrix – analyze the performance of a webpage by using data from Google PageSpeed and Yahoo! YSlow.
- Pingdom – a tool to check load time of all the pages on your website.
- XML-Sitemaps – ensure Google knows all the pages about your site.
3. Off-Page SEO
Once you are familiar with the most crucial on-page SEO factors, you need to worry about off-page SEO next. In fact, off-page SEO can be reduced to a single activity: link building.
A backlink to your site is similar to a recommendation in real life.
If you are applying for jobs, a recommendation from a colleague or a manager can go well with your potential employers. By having someone else speak of the value you bring to the table, it could have a more positive impact on others.
Corollary, a link from another tells search engines that your site is trustworthy. The fact that the site owner took the initiative to link to your page or post can be interpreted that your page is indeed useful in the eyes of others.
The idea of link building is to generate and acquire backlinks from reputable websites.
Acquiring backlinks from thousands of sites with mediocre reputation isn't as powerful as getting a backlink from a site like Forbes, Entrepreneur, or CNN.
The process of building links puts a premium on quality over quantity. The onus should be on generating backlinks from authoritative sites, no matter how few they are online, as much as possible.
Why should you do SEO?
The whole idea of SEO, therefore, is to rank your website on the top spot of search results, if not on the first three spots.
The goal of every business is to make a sale, plain and simple. If the strategy they're currently implementing isn't earning them a click, then there's no reason why they should keep doing it.
SEO has proven time and again that it is not only a great way to attract organic traffic to your site, but also leverage those visitors into becoming customers and clients of your business.
One of the biggest advantages of SEO that explain its popularity among startups and small businesses is its ability to level the playing field. Big companies have deep pockets to launch a media campaigns that consist of TV and radio ads, as well as other sophisticated campaigns that cost a fortune. Since startups don't have that financial luxury, many turn to SEO instead with great results.
Take this example of a small financial advisory firm that was able to raise its traffic high enough for some important keyword that its value on AdWords skyrocketed to $1,500 a month.
A much better example of an SEO success can be seen in this case study of the Skyscraper Technique popularized by Brian Dean of Backlinko.
Using this method, a brand new blog about startups with zero social followers published a post that listed down sites that offer free stock photos.
The results were remarkable – the post allows generated exactly 17,548 visitors in a single day!
These are just some of the results that effective SEO can do for your business. It only proves that you don't need loads of cash to be seen by your target audience. All you need is creativity and ingenuity, both of which can be done through SEO, to compete in your market.
SEO for Dummies: The recap
Search engine optimization (SEO) is not a difficult strategy to implement, but it does take times and practices. Here are some of the SEO for dummies best practices to follow:
- The keyword should contain in your Title (<h1>) and URL
- Add related keywords in subheading (<h2> and <h3>).
- Include keyword at the beginning of your post.
- Your post should above 1,500 words.
- Add valuable outbound links within your content.
- Include internal linking to your own pages.
- Make sure to have a sitemap for your site.
- Optimize your site for speed.
- Make sure your site is mobile-friendliness.
- Link building – acquire quality backlinks to your site.
SEO has proven time and again that it is one of the best tactics that startups and small businesses should implement if they want to compete against the big players online. SEO gives the smallest of sites a fighting chance in targeting their audience for their keywords and drive organic traffic their way.

Basic Needs for Caring For
Your Budgie
This must be wide enough for your budgie
to fly from side to side. The
smallest size I recommend is 24" wide by 18" deep.
Any cage that has a 13" dimension is too small.
Buy the largest size cage you can afford, and keep in mind that budgies
don't fly straight up and down, but side to side.
Therefore wider is better than
Also, if a cage looks too
small to house two budgies in, then it is also too small to house one
budgie. In other words, just
because you only have one budgie doesn't mean you can use a cage that is half
the size. A budgie by itself
requires the same amount of space that two budgies require.
If your budgie's cage is too small, it
be allowed plenty of free flying time outside of its cage during the
Make sure that the
bar spacing
on your cage is no larger
half an inch
. Many
large cages are meant for bigger
birds, so they have 3/4 inch spacing or wider. A budgie can get its head through the
wider spaces and either escape, or be caught and strangled.
So search for
cages for
Searching for finch cages will also work, as those need close bar spacing
as well.
Another thing to avoid is a cage with fancy roof lines. Simple rectangles or dome tops are
best. Victorian peaks and odd
shapes carve up your bird's flying space, making it harder for him to get
around. They also make it
difficult to place perches, toys and feeding dishes.
Their other drawback is that it is hard to catch a bird that is sitting
up high in a tiny corner, if it becomes necessary.
Especially if the door to the cage is very small and at the
is good exercise for your budgie's feet to have several different thicknesses
and textures of perches. The ones
that come with cages are usually too thin, but that is OK, as long as you
provide other sizes in addition. It is not good for a budgie
to stand for its whole life on one size of perch.
Natural branches also make good perches, as long as they are thoroughly
cleaned and dried first.
Food and Water cups.
These are usually provided with the cage, but replacements and extras
are available in stores. My
preference for water is a tube-style drinker, as that style seems to collect
less dirt and debris than an open bowl.
When the water gets dirty, it must be changed so as not to make your
budgie sick.
Parakeet Formula Seed and Pellets.
There is a debate about whether a bird seed or a pellet diet is
better for caged birds. I feed my
birds both. You will go through a
lot more seed than pellet, though, because most birds don't really eat the
pellets as much. If you buy your
bird a seed mix that contains pellets, and she won't eat them, then you will end
up throwing half the bag away, and buying seed more often.
It's cheaper to purchase your seeds and pellets
It is also
important to feed your budgie
fresh vegetables
All types of
and lettuces that you find in a store are
good, but feed only the green part.
White lettuces and celery contain too much water.
Carrots and other orange
vegetables are also important. Scrub or
rinse all vegetables to help minimize your bird's exposure to pesticides. Frozen vegetables that are thawed first
may also be used.
Never feed your parakeet junk food, or anything high in fats and
sugars. But almost every healthy
food you eat, your budgie can also eat.
The exceptions are:
alcohol, apple seeds, avocado, chocolate and onions.
These are toxic to budgies.
Small amounts of meat are ok, but dairy isn't really useful to
When giving fresh foods to your budgie, make sure they don't sit
in his cage long enough to spoil.
Depending on the type of food, it can be left for a whole day, or it may
need to be removed within an hour or
budgie needs at least a few of these, to keep herself entertained.
On the other extreme, too many toys can clutter up the cage and reduce
her room for exercise. A good
compromise is to rotate the extra toys in and out every week or two, so that
your budgie doesn't get tired of the same toys day in and day
A word about
: Budgies prefer to live in flocks. In the absence of other budgies, your
pet will either turn to you as a flock mate, or to his

mirrors, and
no shiny, reflective toys
These things will hinder his ability to bond with you as his primary
friend and companion. And more
importantly for your budgie, these things will not respond to him as another
live bird would, and it will be a source of frustration, possibly causing him to
be upset, and behave badly.
Mirrors can mess with their minds and drive them crazy.
They will also guard their friend in the mirror, and chase you away from
it. Sometimes you can get away
with a mirror, but why tempt fate?
If your budgie develops a problem, get rid of the mirror.
But better yet, avoid the problem in the first
It is also important that you spend a good deal of time
interacting with your budgie, since without another bird,
she will be lonely. If you
find you cannot give her the attention she deserves, than either another home,
or another parakeet to keep her company, may be in
If you have more than one parakeet, then mirrors are no longer
an issue, because your bird will
receive his companionship from his cage mate, and the two of them can enjoy all
the shiny reflective things you wish to give them.

Settling Your Budgie Into
Its New Home
Arriving Home.
Try to have your budgie's cage ready before you bring her home. That way she won't have to wait in the
travel box for too long. The
easiest way to transfer from the box to cage is if the box can fit through the
door, and then you can open the box and let her come out on her own.
Often this isn't possible, so you will have to pick her up to move
her. Try to do this with as little
fuss as possible, and try to prevent her from getting loose.
Having to chase her around the room just adds to her stress, especially
if her wings have not been clipped.
Cover the
The first few days in
his new home, your budgie will be quite nervous. He will be more comfortable if you cover
the back and sides of his cage, so that he feels protected.
Each day you can fold back the cover a little more, until your budgie
gets used to having the cage completely
Try not to hover too much, if you think your budgie feels
intimidated. But do talk to her
frequently and cheerfully, so she gets used to your presence.
Taming lessons should only begin after she is relaxed and you see that
she has begun eating. Taming can
be a little stressful, and she needs to be eating enough to keep up her strength
Don't expect your budgie to eat very much the first two days. He will probably just sit in one spot
on a perch and never move. As he
gets over his fright, he will start to explore his new home.
You will be able to tell when he starts to eat, because there will be
empty seed husks in his food dish.
If you don't see any, try
blowing on the seed, and the husks should fly up.
It also helps to give him some spray millet, clipped to the bars of his
cage near the spot where he sits the most. He will usually eat this before he is
willing to risk going near the seed
Try not to worry about your budgie's
lack of eating unless it goes on beyond the first few days.
If your budgie is eating normally, she will have normal poops. If she doesn't eat for a couple of
days, expect her poops to become soft and runny. This is a sign that she is not
eating. Later, when your budgie
is used to her environment, runny poops will be a sign to you that she is
ill. In a normal, healthy budgie
that is eating properly, the poops will be small and circular with a white area
in the center. The color is
usually black, but anywhere from green to brown is common, depending on what she
has been eating.
Until your budgie is relaxed and cheerful in his new home, you will
need to perform feeding and cleaning chores with as little fuss as possible, in
a calm manner. Fresh foods can
wait a few days, since he probably won't be eating anything anyway.
Likewise, there will be little need for changing food and water, or
cleaning up any poops. When this
does become necessary, just do it in a matter of fact way, not rushing, but not
taking any longer than necessary.
Eventually the two of you will be used to each other's movements, and you
won't have to give this another thought.
But for now, the bird needs to learn to trust you, and not be terrorized
when you reach into the cage.
A Few Safety
When bringing home a
new bird, it is important to keep it away from any birds you already own for a
period of at least four weeks.
This gives you time to make sure that the new bird is not carrying any
illnesses or parasites that can be transferred to your old birds.
It also gives your new bird some time to adjust to her new surroundings
before she is exposed to any germs that your old birds have, but which they are
immune to. The new bird might not
be immune to these germs, and the stressfulness of moving into a new home may
cause her to succumb to disease.
Stress can cause illness in
It's important to note, that if your new bird and your old bird
happen to find their way to each other, it doesn't mean that
quarantine is ruined and can be abandoned. One brief meeting does not transfer
germs as readily as living together in close quarters.
The same goes for people who put their birds together when they got home,
only to discover about quarantine a day or two later.
The birds can still be separated, and if one of them
to develop symptoms during the rest of the quarantine period, you will be glad
that you have minimized the risk to the other
Chemical Fumes.
Budgies have very sensitive respiratory systems.
Therefore, odors and fumes that don't bother you, could be extremely
harmful to your pet. Anything
that gives off a strong odor is also giving off fumes.
Some of these things include:
scented candles, cleaning products, cigarette smoke, any aerosol sprays,
and perfume, to name a few. The
rule of thumb, if the scent is strong to you, it is way too strong for your
budgie. Birds don't just have
lungs. They have air sacs that
permeate their whole bodies. They
small body weights cannot tolerate what we can
If you can't replace your cleaning products with unscented ones,
then to prevent them from harming your budgie, move his cage to a safe,
fume-free area on cleaning day.
Non-stick cookware.
Any type of household cookware or appliances that have non stick
coating may be potentially deadly to your budgerigar.
In theory, these things are only harmful when they are overheated, and
give off fumes. But in some
studies, small amounts of chemicals were found to be released into the air
during normal usage.
Be aware that many household items besides pans have Teflon in
them. These include some hair
dryers, clothing irons, and many electric kitchen appliances.
It is up to you to decide whether to use these items or not, but if you
do use them, make sure your budgie's cage is not too close to them, and make
sure there is adequate ventilation.
If your budgie is accidentally exposed to toxic fumes, open windows, turn
on fans, and do everything you can to clear the air in your budgie's
Ceramic cookware.
In 2012 I started hearing about nonstick cookware that uses ceramic,
instead of chemicals. (Sometimes
called "Green" pans.) These don't
appear to have any harmful properties at all. I got one to try, and it works
great. Most of my pans are
stainless steel, but for people who can't give up their non stick, I highly
recommend the new ceramic pans.
Some are toxic, some are safe, and budgies love to chew on them. Either keep your budgies away from all
plants, or find out which ones are safe, and only let your budgie near
Budgies can drown.
Therefore, make sure your budgie's water dish is not large or deep. Or, use a tube style drinker. If you provide your budgie with a
birdbath, make sure it, too, is not deep.
Bird baths with non-slippery bottoms are best, so that your budgie won't
lose her footing and slip underwater.
Other sources of dangerous water to budgies are open toilets,
fish tanks, open beverages, dishes soaking with water in them, dish pans of
sudsy water (which might appear to your bird as a safe landing surface), and
pots of water cooking on the stove.
When your bird is enjoying his out of cage flying time, make sure there
are no liquids around that he can accidentally fall into.
(Or hot stove tops he can get burned
Gaps Behind and below Furniture.
Tall book cases, pianos, and refrigerators are notorious places for a
budgerigar to make its way behind, and then be unable to escape from. Don't let your budgie fly free in any
room that has such a hazard.
Budgies are known to panic and die of a heart
attack when trapped in these small spaces.
You may want to scan the room your budgie plays in for any openings that
lead to small, closed off spaces, and make sure they are completely

Tonight while I was cooking dinner I put on a Baby Einstein video for Pearson. He was really getting into the song If You're Happy And You Know It. I had the video camera close by so I was able to catch his little performance on camera. I just love the way that he "stomps his feet".
That's a pretty sweet farmers tan he's got going on too! Ha!!

+Saves time for the customer's procurement managers.
The customer can rest assured that the part assemblies in question have a capable supplier, so the focus can be shifted to strategically important areas.
+Saves production resources and investment funds for the customer.
There is no need to maintain resources and equipment, and the number of variables in the customer's production process is reduced.
+ Streamlines the customer's method planning process with fewer areas to consider at any one time.
The resources can be allocated to a single area.
+ Reduces loss.

SETTI service – installation-ready assemblies
Once the cooperation has been established through the component service, the partnership usually extends to the SETTI service, which involves the supply of machine-specific partial or full assemblies directly to the customer's assembly line or other production process. This means that Kirike assumes more responsibility for the product supply chain and supplier network, which frees up some of the customer's resources for core business.
With the SETTI service, the customer receives ready-made partial or full assemblies that, in addition to the components manufactured by Kirike, can include any other parts needed for the installation, such as bearings, hoses, pins, bolts and nuts.
The goal is to provide assemblies that serve our customers' needs in the best possible way. The assembly and kitting of the finished products take place in the same space as the surface treatment, which ensures the seamless flow of the manufacturing process with no need for intermediate storage.
In addition to our own expertise, the products provided through the SETTI service can employ the skills of our specialist network and include purchased components, such as hydraulic motors or cylinders. In addition to manufacturing, we handle component procurements through our own network or the suppliers indicated by the customer. This can involve a part assembly of a larger machine that the customer will assemble and test before delivery to the end customer. The customer's own ERP system can also be utilised in conjunction with the service.

Safety talk
The November meeting of our Bereavement Support Group at Barnsgate was attended by 48 people, who enjoyed meeting together for a chat over coffee. This month the group also benefited from a very informative talk on fire safety in the home from Trevor Funnell and his watch from Crowborough Community Fire Station.
Members discovered some very useful hints and tips and around a dozen signed-up on the spot for a Home Safety Visit.
Our Bereavement Support Group is an opportunity for us to further support families following the death of a loved one.
Member Brenda explained recently: "If it wasn't for Bereavement Group, there are some members who possibly might not go out socially. I think we've all become a little stronger, more independent and more confidence as a result of Bereavement Group."

Brentwood did not change the regulation of conservatorship and receivership. As described above, a conservator or receiver steps into the footwear of the non-public entity—it assumes the non-public standing of the entity.

There are tons of them around, even in Logan Sq. You need to examine the comparables to see if the price is cheap. You need to make as clean of a suggestion as you'll be able to, however the value you provide should be based on how the value compares to other related units within the area.

LATE ONE NIGHT IN February 2009, Ariane Ice sat poring over information on the web site of Florida's Palm Beach County. She'd been at it for weeks, forsaking sleep to sift by thousands of legal paperwork. She and her husband, Tom, an lawyer, ran a boutique foreclosures defense firm known as Ice Legal (Slogan: Your house is your fortress. Defend it.") Now they had been up against one of Florida's greatest foreclosure legislation corporations : Founded by multimillionaire lawyer David J. Stern, it controlled one-fifth of the state's booming market in foreclosure-associated companies. Ice had a robust hunch that Stern's operation was as much as something, and that evening she discovered her smoking gun.
For those of you who aren't as smart as Larry, schedule the appointment with the inspector you rent and follow them around.

Getting grants for Small Business
The Federal government does not provide grants for starting a business. Generally, Federal grants are only available to non-profits, state and local governments and larger businesses engaged in government-sponsored scientific research. Some small business grants can be obtained from non-profit organizations and a few state government agencies for specific types of businesses.
However, federal, state and local government agencies provide loan guaranty programs that make it easier for small businesses to obtain start-up and expansion loans from commercial lenders.
Use our Loans and Grants Search Tool to find a broad range of financial assistance programs for which your business might qualify.
Visit the Small Business Loans guide to get general information about loans and how to apply for them.
Are there grants or loans out there for
For low income single moms (with bad credit) who want to start a business?
I've googled and find myself getting nowhere.
I'm starting to find myself getting my life a little more "together" and would like to start a small business that I've had in mind for years. Having just lost the only income we've had for years, I'm in a position to either go back to work, or start the business I've had in mind.
If somebody can just lead me in the proper direction, I'll do the research myself. I just feel like I'm getting nowhere in the search I'm currently doing.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
FED grant/loan Q's
Seems to be an overwhelming presence of spam cops in here convicting innocent people.
My post was legit moron. I am self employed looking for advice and opinions on Federal level grants and loans for small business.
Ill post my questions again:
Is it worth the time to apply for fed grants and loans?
Are there legit resources out there that are NOT third party blow-hards who simply collect a fee for passing along information that is available for free?
What are the odds of actually getting federal assistance for a private company? (contractor working on fed/state projects)
If it matters, my company is already in biz and functioning at a profitable level, but has very positive potential for huge growth.
Build your business and donate your time
You might be able to get a small business loan IF you have an excellent business plan and so, a way to pay back the loan.
Grants are given primarily to non-profit organizations; very few to individuals (and these are usually for study or to create art).
Think of it this way: Why would I, the funder, give you free money to start or support your money-making business, no matter how noble your cause?
Either find a non-profit in your community who would welcome a donation of your healing services while you build your for-profit business, or build up your business in the usual way: marketing, networking, building referrals from happy clients, long, long hours of hard work, etc

The Democratic Club of the Santa Rita area had a table outside the Green Valley Headquarters a while back. Various folks volunteered to man the table and people get registered to vote. One woman, I am told, arrived for her shift but when she saw Democratic literature refused to work at the table saying something to the effect that she was for Bernie but would never vote for a Democrat. I guess that means that she would prefer Donald Trump - or any one of the clowns on the GOP stage.
AZBlueMeanie has a lot to say about the "Bernie or Bust" attitude and, while I support Bernie in the primary, I have repeatedly cautioned against that attitude. Here's part of what the Blue Meanie has to say - his post has a lot more.
I have posted at length about the historical development and rise of authoritarianism in the modern-day Republican Party. This is a threat to governance and constitutional democracy that is very real and not to be taken lightly, or dismissed glibly. Staying at home and not voting in November is morally reprehensible and indefensible, and an abdication of one's civic duty as a citizen of this country.
I do not say that you must cast your vote for president, but your disappointment with the candidates for president this year are no excuse for you to not turn out to vote in November for the rest of the ballot: Senate, Congress, state legislature, corporation commission, judicial retention, ballot measures, county elected officers, etc.
These are critical election contests that bear a direct impact on your quality of life here in Arizona. My advice: stop all this whining about the presidential race and focus on working for these candidates and ballot measures in critical contests. You do not get a pass to disengage from the political process simply because you are disappointed with the choice of candidates for president this year. There are much more important contests with which to concern yourselves that bear directly on your lives.
Does anyone in the "Bernie or Bust" camp really believe that there is no difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? Or Ted Cruz? Or even John Kasich?
Something to consider, "progressives." Democrats only lose elections when Democrats do not turn out to vote. Republicans simply cannot win when Democrats turn out to vote. History will not be kind to those "progressives" who fail to vote because their preferred candidate is not at the top of the ballot. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

I support Bernie. But if he does not win the nomination, a boycott of Hillary IS a vote for Trump. Hillary may be flawed vis a vis Bernie, but Trump is a complete disaster. Ideological purity votes is how we got Nixon in 1968. It is how we got Dubya in 2000. ...
To this I add: It is how we got McSally in 2014. It was just 167 votes, people!
