The elections are over, much to the relief of many of us, but unfortunately the politicians are still there. I have frequently criticized these idiots for making a monumental mess of things and for squandering billions of dollars on the most insanely stupid debacles and catastrophes. And I will probably do so again.
However, it is always a good idea or policy to be able to back up what you say with some facts, so rather than run to my own defense which is usually what happens, this time I am going to let some of the politicians prove beyond any and all reasonable doubt that my opinion of them is well justified.
So here we have a selection of quotations from some fairly famous politicians in which they condemn themselves to the dustbin of stupidity.
Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States:
"Politics gives guys so much power that they tend to behave badly around women. And I hope I never get into that."
This from a congressional candidate in Texas:
"That scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I'm just the one to do it."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California Governor talking about his views on the economy:
"The public doesn't care about figures."
Jacques le Blanc, French ambassador on nuclear weapons:
"I do not like this word 'bomb.' It is not a bomb. It is a device that is exploding."
Aggie Pate, at a non-denominational mayor's breakfast, Fort Worth, Texas:
"I didn't know Onward Christian Soldiers was a Christian song."
California Senator Barbara Boxer:
"Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, 'Thank God, I'm still alive.' But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again."
Ex-police chief and mayor of Philadelphia, Frank Rizzo:
"The streets are safe in Philadelphia. It's only the people who make them unsafe."
Congressman Everett Dirksen:
"A billion here, a billion there, sooner or later it adds up to real money."
Former U.S. President, Richard Nixon:
"Solutions are not the answer."
H. Ross Perot, major Texas businessman and former presidential candidate:
"This planet is our home. If we destroy the planet, we've destroyed our home, so it is fundamentally important."
Arizona Governor Wesley Bolin:
"We'd like to avoid problems, because when we have problems, we can have troubles."
George Wallace 1968 presidential campaign:
"I've read about foreign policy and studied, I now know the number of continents."
Dwight Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States:
"The world is more like it is now then it ever has before."
Fred Heineman, former Republican representative from North Carolina:
"When I see someone who is making anywhere from $300,000 to $750,000 a year, that's middle class."
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien:
"A proof is a proof. What kind of proof? It's a proof. A proof is proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it is proven."
Imelda Marcos, former First Lady and a political figure in the Philippines:
"I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty."
Bob Dole, Republican presidential candidate:
"The internet is a great way to get on the net."
Al Gore, former U.S. vice president:
"We are ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur."
Former California Governor Gray Davis, during the recall campaign:
"My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have people from every planet on the earth in this state. We have the sons and daughters of every, of people from every planet, of every country on earth."
Charles De Gaulle, former French President:
"China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese."
President Clinton, denying that he had sexually harassed Kathleen Willey:
"I would never approach a small-breasted woman."

Official Grenada Citizenship By Investment Programme
9 European Countries Where You Can Get A Residency By Investment
Who Is Eligible For The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program?
If your investment is a new commercial enterprise, you must submit proof that you have complied with the EB-5 requirements throughout your two-year conditional permanent residence. We both receive State and company pensions and annuities in excess of the minimum income requirement for a couple to meet Tier 1. If granted permission we propose transferring funds periodically to finance our living. There is a DTA in place between NZ and the UK and mention of foreign tax credits.
Manitoba is a land of natural beauty filled with safe, clean, and friendly towns. The capital city, Winnipeg, is becoming known throughout the world for its strong economy, low cost of living, and opportunities for quality careers. The new requirements to gain citizenship into the country will now require candidates to be permanent residents for at least four years (as opposed to the previous one-year requirement).
New Zealand Residence
We have an extensive range of Immigration options for Permanent Residency, Employment, and Business Visas & Family settlement. Candidates who have submitted documents in a timely manner and also complied with the protocol can then travel to their desired country with their family to settle permanently therein. After turkish citizenship a legal residence of a specified term, they are also entitled to apply for citizenship in the country by the process of naturalization. With increasing travel issues and instability worldwide, we have seen a dramatic increase in individuals and families exploring secondary citizenship and residency options.
New Zealand has made headlines with wealthy expats like Paypal co-founderPeter Thiel buying their way to citizenship. There are two different ways to get citizenship in New Zealand by investment, starting with an investment of at least $2 million over a four-year period. Do you know how it works for US citizens who work remotely for US companies? For most people, any immigration process is going to be long, costly, and riddled with bureaucratic annoyances. The good news is that New Zealand's process is greatly simplified and applications are processed much more quickly than in most other nations.
British Nationality Assessment
We also had, earlier in the day, a member on the other side saying it doesn't matter what happens at the select committee or in any other process, because the Government is just going to do this anyway. Well, I think that is a gross abuse of our democratic power and the regime in which this House should operate. Last year, when we considered the Hurunui/Kaikōura earthquake sequence, the legislation around that also went through a truncated process, and that resulted in changes too. I am confident that because of the significant national interests at play here in this bill and the fact that New Zealand is constrained by the CPTPPA, that is a good reason to go through a truncated process.
Eligible dependants of the main applicant include the spouse of the main applicant, financially dependent children under the age of 30 and parents or grandparents of the main applicant or of the spouse who are above the age of 55. They must also be living with and fully supported by the main applicant. The government of St Kitts also offers the Accelerated Application Process which was approved in October 2016. This allows applications to be accelerated to a 60 day processing period, with some applications completed in as early as 45 days. The processing fees under the AAP are; US$25,000 for the main applicant, US$20,000 for any dependent above 16 years and US$500 for any dependent under 16 years old. St Kitts & Nevis, also known as Saint Christopher and Nevis, is a well-functioning democracy based on the British parliamentary system with the Queen of England as Head of State.
How To Open A Bank Account As A Foreigner In New Zealand
The application is fairly in-depth, but not as much as for a citizenship application in St. Kitts or Dominica. The Application can be downloaded here, and is fairly self-explanatory. Friends of mine who have gone through the application process to become a New Zealand resident successfully have stated there is no need for a lawyer. You can bring along family members, and others who are included in your residence application, as long as they meet the health and character requirements. Note that there isn't a need for English language requirement under investor plus. The rest of this article will delve deeper into these specific pathways including citizenship by investment into a farming investment under the investor plus category.
Make sure you stick to official guidelines to navigate the process without hassle. Numbeo features dynamic information for all aspects of the costs of living in other countries, supplied by locals in those areas. As the detail is constantly updated, you'll be able to get the most up to the minute prices in the locations of your choice. When you're researching properties to buy in New Zealand, you'll need to think about what will suit your budget. A great place to start to build a picture of house prices in New Zealand is Numbeo.
If your partner is applying on your application form too, you need to show that you have been living together in a genuine and stable relationship for at least 12 months. You can also apply for a work visa so you can travel to New Zealand to look into investment opportunities. You will need to retain your investment funds in acceptable investments for three years.
The revelation has drawn international attention due to the prominence of Thiel in United States business and political circles. While he has not commented on his Kiwi citizenship, over the weekend Thiel defended President Donald Trump's harsh new immigration crackdown and denied it targeted Muslims. CBI schemes legally allows foreign investors to obtain a new fast track nationality with passport purely on investment alone.
Some countries like to complicate things and will require applicants to make several types of investments to qualify for citizenship. We have a full-time real estate person on our team who speaks Turkish and she finds the best deals on properties in the country that will qualify you for citizenship. Your donation goes toward the local people in the country to meet different objectives. For example, St. Kitts and Nevis had a thriving sugar industry… until it didn't. So, now, the government has created a sugar fund that you can donate to and qualify for St. Kitts' citizenship.

I completely forgot that I had shot some video back in January and February down at the riverfront as a companion to the photo series – and now with my faster uplink, I've finally been able to uploaded them. Here's the first one – as usual, the embedded video is self-hosted, but there's also a Youtube version.
The left side of the Kaufhof building had already been heavily gutted.

A daring competitor
Kelsey Campbell started wrestling in 2002, during her junior year of high school—but only after she was dared to join the wrestling team. At the time, she didn't even know girls wrestled, but she was trying to prove that she could last two weeks on the team. Today, she trains at the elite level and competes around the world. "I guess I won that dare," said Campbell.
Campbell was the first female wrestler to compete for Arizona State University, where she won two NCAA women's titles. She also trains with the US national team and competed in the 2012 London Games. Campbell strives to improve as an athlete and someday win a gold medal in the Games, but she is grateful for all that she has already achieved. "It is something not everyone could pursue," Campbell explained. She faces the challenges of her wrestling career with her head and hopes held high.
Outside of wrestling, Campbell enjoys singing, dancing, and writing music. She also coaches camps and clinics, and works full-time.
2012 London Games Competitor
2012 Third in U.S. Open
2011 Sunkist Kids International Open champion

Are The Medical 'Authorities' In Full Retreat?

"I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had."
—-Michael Crichton M.D.
Newsweek, an absolute mouth piece for the Pharmacological Medical Industrial Complex, wrote an article called… 'Why Almost Everything You Hear About Medicine Is Wrong' (Click on link for article)
The article seems to be a precautionary tail about the 'business' of modern medicine and health. It 'indicates' that the SYSTEM is somehow flawed. Truth be told, this is a complete damage control piece by Newsweek. The article in truth, is an apology for a 'racket' built to keep people ill. Hey, making people ill and stringing them out was a great run while it lasted.
Is the Newsweek article an admission by the medical 'authorities' that the gig is up? Is the day of telling the public over that 'THEY ARE CRAZY', IT'S AL IN 'THEIR HEADS', when the same medical authorities' vaccines, drugs and treatment prolongs their attachment to the medical system?
Well, what IS going on today in the court of public opinion on our western medical system, is NOTHING MORE THAN A REPEAT OF HISTORY. You see, natural medicine was a SERIOUS science by medical professionals AND institutions BEFORE the Rockefeller / Carnegie Mellon fortunes bought the political muscle to shut it down and stick us with this awful 'CURRENT' pharmacological allopathic system (in the USA) that Newsweek's article is sheepishly exposing. Why was the 'alternative' politically 'shut down' by the early 20th century? Because, natural medicine (otherwise once known as 'organic' pharmacology) was taking off like a rocket in the court of public opinion.. Natural medicine had a 'PROVEN' track record for healing. Where as, the traditional or allopathic method, kept people having to come back for more 'treatments'. Sound familiar?
If you are a ' SERIOUS' medical student you will need to purchase the book the 'Drug Story' it is a very well researched book covering the takeover of American medical system. Would you NOT want to know the FULL HISTORY of the profession you are about to embark upon? Oh, you really think you're going to get, as Paul Harvey used to say, 'the rest of the story' from your Rockefeller created and controlled medical school? Yeah, if you believe that I have a bridge on Mars I would like to sell you.
Below is an 'alternative' article to the Newsweek article that tries to put common sense natural healing methodology into the same 'bad medicine' category as our current big pharma medical system. This article discusses why natural medicine has NEVER fell into the bad light big pharma's medical 'dinosaur' system constantly is in.
THE WORST CRIME OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, ND and
Elissa Meininger
NewsWithViews.com
In America and in the West, the public is conditioned to believe that modern (allopathic) medicine is the supreme healing modality. Propaganda machines that rely on media in need of content and not necessarily truth eagerly spread this notion. Scientific journal articles promoting drugs are little more than press releases by pharmaceutical companies signed by doctors for hire. In the midst of the recent "outing" of unsafe drugs by whistleblowers; the thousands of law suits against drug companies for drug damage; and a plethora of books and articles enumerating the side effects of drugs and the hundreds of thousands of lives lost we see drug companies and the WTO determined to control of dietary supplements through Codex and international trade agreements in their global quest for power.
Why is this happening? Simply because most of the world does not use modern medicine and the 'powers that be' want to control those other forms of medicine to make way for a seamless, worldwide assembly line-style of health delivery by government decree favoring the highly-profitable, patented products and services of modern (allopathic) medicine.
One of the forms of medicine that is being targeted for control is homeopathy –the topic of this week's column. Both Elissa and I have a deep and abiding love of homeopathy and we speak up for it whenever we can.
Homeopathy is one of those systems of medicine that is all encompassing and could be a life-long project of study. I wanted to make it my prime modality after medical school and began learning it during my naturopathic training. That might have had something to do with genes because my grandmother was a nurse and a homeopath. And my father, while still in high school, was on the lists to enter Boston University School of Medicine, which, at the time, was a homeopathic medical school. I found, however, that I'm much too eclectic to stay in one place for too long. But I stayed long enough to see some miraculous cures take place. In the hands of a skilled homeopath, it is one of the best existing modalities for all conditions. I recommend it to parents as the best form of medicine for children and the best for most acute conditions and advise people to have a homeopathic kit on hand to treat emergencies.
Elissa's reasons are even more personal. After a lifetime of ill health due to a missed diagnosis of mercury poisoning from her dental fillings (a disease that is not recognized by either the American dental community or modern [allopathic] medicine), Elissa was diagnosed by a homeopath and from the first dose of a homeopathic remedy, she found her salvation. Up until then, she had experienced not just debilitating symptoms of serious chronic illness, but numerous extreme adverse reactions from such things as penicillin and Tylenol. To find out why she was misdiagnosed all those years and why she was never referred to homeopathy, a medical philosophy that has specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of medically-induced mercury poisoning for 200 years, prompted Elissa to become the health policy expert she is today. She earned her expertise by delving into the depth and breadth of the history of American medicine and how politics and the clever actions of several self-interest groups, over time, created today's modern medical monopoly folly.
The story of how homeopathy first came to America, became the second most practiced healing art by public demand, and then was virtually destroyed by Big Pharma and its allies, the AMA and the practitioners of modern (allopathic) medicine, is why we have called our article "The Worst Crime of the 20th Century." This history bears witness to how the self-interest of just a handful of people, by creating an allopathic medical monopoly, continues to cause the needless deaths of millions of people and the ongoing suffering of millions more.
As the story goes, back in the mid-1800s, homeopathy had arrived on our shores from its homeland, Germany, and the public eagerly flocked to homeopathic physicians. And no wonder. The "modern (allopathic) medicine" of the day included draining people of up to 32 ounces of blood and dosing them with lethal amounts of mercury in a product called "calomel." Calomel caused profuse salivation and doctors measured the amount of saliva by the pint as a means of determining the success of the treatment. Calomel was considered the all-purpose elixir for most ailments along with the bleeding, so you can see why homeopathy spread rapidly. Homeopaths found allopathic treatment barbaric.
What confounded the practitioners of "modern (allopathic) medicine" of that era was that homeopaths were well-educated and had quickly fallen into favor with the educated, politically powerful and wealthier clientele, as well as the masses. Worse yet, while their medical philosophy confounded the average practitioner of "modern (allopathic) medicine," every time an allopath actually took an honest look at how homeopathy was practiced, another convert to homeopathy was born. In fact, in many cases, practicing homeopaths were actually converts from "modern (allopathic) medicine."
Proof that homeopathy worked was widespread. Every epidemic in Europe and America starting with the cholera epidemics in the 1840s became an advertisement for the virtues of homeopathy. Homeopaths saved lives in such large numbers and compared to the competition it was obvious that allopathic methods were a complete failure. In rapid order, the practice of homeopathy became widespread in New England, the Middle Atlantic States, and the Midwest. And, true to form, while the South had been slow to catch on, the 1878 yellow fever epidemic converted many patients and doctors there, too.
The formation of the American Medical Association in the 1840s was in direct response to the onslaught of a superior medical system. From the beginning, the AMA stood firm with a hostile "them or us" attitude about members consorting with the competition. Well-educated homeopaths, often graduates of Harvard, Yale and other such schools, were banned from joining the AMA. In AMA meetings, any discussion about homeopathy was banned. If any member of the AMA, or its state chapters, were seen consorting with a homeopath, that doctor was expelled.
Voluminous and vicious literature was written and circulated about the worthlessness of homeopathy. When the drug industry emerged as an economic force in the 1870s, flush with its profits from selling mercury medicinals to the Union Army, the AMA found the sugar daddy of its dreams that could fuel and finance an all out war against its most serious competition. This polemic propaganda continues today because the 1500 or so effective homeopathic remedies that have been developed over 200 years represent serious competition for Big Pharma. Furthermore, homeopathic remedies have proven to have no dangerous side effects, are not patentable, can be manufactured and sold for pennies and have a very long shelf life.
Those who practice medicine in the allopathic tradition, then as now, know instinctively that homeopathy, by its very principles, is a rejection of the assumptions held near and dear to modern medicine. In fact, it is important to know that homeopathy is actually the invention of a German medical genius named Samuel Hahnemann, and it comes from Hahnemann's rejection of what he was taught as an allopathic physician in his day, 200 years ago.
What Hahnemann saw was a failure to truly heal people. As a linguist with knowledge of many ancient and modern languages, including several from the Arab world, Hahnemann made a good deal of his living translating scientific and medical texts. This gave him access to some of the greatest minds in the world's medical traditions and it was when he was questioning the conclusions of British doctor, William Cullen, regarding the use of Peruvian bark to treat malaria, that Hahnemann experienced a flash of insight that fostered homeopathy.
At the height of its popularity in America, homeopathy was second only to allopathy in the number of practitioners. It had its own schools, its own pharmacies and even had a monument erected to honor Hahnemann in Washington, D.C., considered by many to be one of the great geniuses in the history of medicine. [Read] [Read]
At the time this monument to Hahnemann was unveiled, there where 22 homeopathic medical schools in America. One of the more interesting ones was The New England Female College founded in 1850 as the world's first women's medical school. During its time, it graduated the first black woman doctor and after it was absorbed into Boston University to become Boston University Medical School in 1873, it became America's first coed medical school. In 1897, the new school graduated its first black doctor, who went on to become America's first black psychiatrist.
Ironically, four years after the monument was erected, and 10 years before the publication of the Flexner Report, the blueprint of the allopathic medical monopoly, the trustees of Boston University were told by AMA officials that if they didn't convert the medical school curricula to all-allopathic, their graduates would have difficulty taking and passing state medical licensing examinations. At the time, there were 645 practicing homeopaths in Boston alone.
So, what allopathic assumptions does homeopathy reject? At its core, homeopathy is based, not on a biochemical or mechanistic model like allopathy, but on the idea that each person has a vital force, a resonating frequency, if you will. This vital force, called Qi or Chi in Asian healing arts, is basically the energy or essence of the person that can be observed and measured. In the simplest terms, when you are ill, according to homeopathic philosophy, your frequency changes and symptoms occur as a result of your body trying to restore you to a healthy frequency. The symptoms serve as the means by which restoration of health can be achieved. The very symptoms that allopaths suppress are the ones the body uses to get well and that a homeopath surveys to find the appropriate remedy to help the body heal.
To a homeopath, an office call is basically devoted to systematically interviewing the patient to determine what makes them tick as well as gathering as much information about each of their symptoms as possible. Then, after analyzing this information, the homeopath has available 1500 or so catalogued remedies that are inventoried according to symptoms and constitution.
The information in these reference manuals is drawn from data on literally thousands of patients who have been treated successfully. Homeopathic remedies themselves are developed by a process called "potentization" which renders them not only non-toxic but leaves only a minute vibration in the water of the original substance. These potentized remedies, when they enter the person's body as a frequency, not a chemical substance, basically help revitalize the person's own harmonious frequency.
To modern (allopathic) medical practitioners, a symptom is a bad outcome of an illness and suppressing the symptom is the first thing a doctor tries to do to make the patient feel better. Suppression of symptoms is not the same as healing the person.
Each homeopathic remedy is developed by first testing it on healthy people based on an idea called "the law of similars." The law of similars comes from an old idea that a substance that can create a symptom in a healthy person can cure a sick person suffering the same symptom. The law of similars confounds the scientific assumptions of the biochemically-based allopathic medical community and until you experience the healing process yourself, you will probably scratch your head, wondering what these homeopaths are talking about. Hahnemann came to name his new school of thought homeo (Greek for "similar"), pathy (Greek for "suffering). He then named the old school of thought allo (Greek for "other"), pathy.
These opposing views on the meaning of symptoms and what a doctor does about them is the sharpest of many ideological divisions between homeopathy and allopathy.
For most of the 1800s, allopaths were called allopaths but when the AMA orchestrated the publication of the Flexner Report in 1910, to outline their new medical monopoly, the first order of business was to make sure the word "allopathy" no longer defined them. They wanted ALL practitioners of all "cults" or "dogmas" as they insultingly referred to their competition, to give up their differing medical ideas and "surrender" to modern science.
The Flexner Report was used to convince the financial backers of non-allopathic medical schools, particularly homeopathy, to cease providing funding. Within 20 years, all but one homeopathic school had been closed or forced to convert to allopathic teaching only.
It came to our attention within the last week or so, that Citizens for Health, one of the major national health freedom groups, in conjunction with the National Center for Homeopathy, had organized a writing campaign to the CDC to include homeopathic research as part of its agenda for the next decade. [Read] homeopathic.org/
This campaign, with the deadline of January 15, 2006, is now over. However, we have mixed feelings about how the modern medicine dominated CDC, or the NIH or any other of the usual research organizations could possibly conduct honest and relevant research on homeopathy, given the fact that modern medicine is based on such vastly different assumptions.
We also have concerns because of recent revelations about the corruption in science in all venues as well as the faking of scientific papers being published in prestigious medical journals. We have concerns about the political and economic agendas of those in control of directing what research shall be done and that, somehow, homeopathy will be tainted keeping it in the same false and negative light it has been held for most of the 20th century.
We suggest that there are ample books written by practicing homeopaths about the success of homeopathy for any open-minded person to see its worth. In any case, we are foursquare behind restoring homeopathy to its former position as the second largest medical system in America and give you practical resources at the end to pursue your own investigation of homeopathy.
To sum up the worldview on homeopathy we recently read an article in the New India Press, dated December 24, 2005, titled, "WHO Recognition for Homeopathy." We thought you might like to read some excerpts from this article to give you a flavor of how homeopathy is discussed in a country where it is widely accepted and used.
"Deviating from the trend of rejecting homeopathy treatment and medicine as mere placebos, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that homeopathy is the second-most used medical system internationally.
'Clinical trials have proved that this method of treatment has been successful if the practitioners have taken into account the individual holistic nature of the patient before opting for homeopathy.' Says Dr. T N Sreedhara Kurup, Assistant Director In-Charge of the Central Research Institute for Homeopathy.


How to make it to the top on search engine results?
Recently someone in my network asked me if I can help her website get to the top ranking in the search engine results. As a web developer, this is not an uncommon question. My clients' success is my success, and so I set out in quest of the perfect solution. Paying for ads will boost the rating; however, the first goal is to boost the chances of being found on an 'organic search' or unpaid search.
Each search engine has a different method to rank websites known as an algorithm. That is why results differ between Google, Bing, Ask, DuckDuckGo and Yahoo. The problem is that they are continuously looking for ways to serve better search results pages (SERP) and anticipate what the query was about. This means that they must frequently change their algorithm to be competitive, and they do not share the details with us. Each algorithm can have hundreds of criteria, so this is largely a guessing game. We recognize that if the SERP is not relevant, it is very easy to open up another search engine and increase the possibility that we will click on their ads instead.
When a user searches for content similar to yours, will he find relevant, updated information on your site?
Is the message clearly and simply displayed or is it necessary to click around?
You typically have three chances to tell the search engines what your page is about.
1. On Page – The value of the actual content of the page, including title and media.
3. Off-Site – Backlinks – links to your site from other quality websites.
If the product is highly competitive, the only way is to use Sponsored or Advertising links.
This is typically displayed on your home page, about page or bio page.
Often displayed on the Services or Shop page, describe the main service that you offer and break it down into components. Bullet points are great!
This is the most difficult part. Here you describe what differentiates you from other people in the same field. You can display your passion by offering valuable content on your website and commenting on other sites.
There are three types of information in the Results.
Business name, brand or personal name and variations of that name. Basically, the search engine will find who you are.
What you do: For example if you are a hair stylist that specializes in hair color and chemical treatments, you should have a dedicated page to explain about your hair color treatments.
The last type of result answers the why question. If you blog, publish a newsletter, video or have other valuable content, this will enable you to showcase your specialty and what makes you shine.
Generally speaking, the recommendation is to have between 5-20 keywords per page. The keywords should appear a few times on the page, but should not be overused. Overuse can result in penalties.
According to Nate Dame the issue is that sometimes the keywords that Google suggests as being relevant are not very relevant. He believes that this is due to the fact that Google is selling a service of pay per click (PPC) for keywords, or that there is insufficient high quality content on certain topics for Google to mine.
The focus on keywords has changed over the past few years and the recommendation is to have fewer keywords, but focus on topics and user intent. When a user types 'Hair color' into the browser what does she mean? Is she searching for a product, salon or hair stylist?
Getting high quality websites to link to your content or website will earn you a higher ranking. Search engine believe that if a good website links to your site, your site must be trustworthy. Can you get a reference from a high quality site like a .edu site or a .gov site? If you are a member of your local Chamber of Commerce, then you have a natural quality backlink, since the Chamber of Commerce lists your business as a service to the community.
Note that ranking often goes through a manual audit, so if the link is not earned and there are multiple spam links, then the site will be demoted in the ranking.
At least 40% of people who browse the internet are using portable and mobile devices. Websites that are not mobile friendly are being penalized and those that are mobile friendly are being rewarded. Google has added a measure of mobile friendliness with AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages Project).
Depending on your target market consider making the content shareable. Social Media has a huge impact on content and can drive more traffic to your site. In addition, social engagement with other blogs or shares can increase your links if you add value.
I recently learned at a Google seminar that "likes" on Google Maps help. Clients that you serve can go on Google Maps and rank your business, even if you do not have a brick and mortar store.
Using bookmarking tools like Delicious and StumbleUpon.
In conclusion, there is no magic formula and no guarantee. The best we can do is follow the suggestions and know that in order to Rank No. 1, we need to have the most relevant content that matches the search terms. Google will be right behind us with a manual monitor to ensure that we deserve to be there!
dvertise a "priority submit" to Google. There is no priority submit for Google. In fact, the only way to submit a site to Google directly is through our Add URL page or through the Google Sitemaps program, and you can do this yourself at no cost whatsoever.

Cristina Hinds received her undergraduate degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1995. During her political science studies, she spent a semester in Washington DC interning for Senator Richard Bryan while studying the legislative process.
She later attended the University of San Diego School of Law and received several first place awards for Moot Court competitions. Cristina also spent her a summer during law school in Carson City as an extern at the Nevada Supreme Court for the Honorable Justice Charles Springer. At the Court, she read briefs, researched opinions, and drafted recommendations for the Justices. All recommendations she prepared were unanimously accepted.
The next summer, Cristina interned at the Clark County District Attorney's Office for District Attorney Stewart Bell. She worked exclusively in the Appellate Division preparing briefs and responding to motions for credit for time served and post-conviction petitions for writ of habeas corpus for the State of Nevada.
After graduation from law school, Cristina returned to Las Vegas and the District Attorney's Office. Cristina performed more intensive research and writing. Additionally, she assisted the Bad Check Diversion Unit, and among other duties, drafted legislation which was later enacted into State law. Cristina has also argued before the Nevada Supreme Court.
After approximately two years, Cristina left the DA's Office to start her own law firm. She used her experience gained at the District Attorney's Office to operate a successful criminal defense practice. In addition to handling City and State misdemeanor and felony criminal defense, Cristina's extensive writing experience earned her countless appointments from various courts to assist with researching and drafting post-conviction remedies and appeals for defendants.
As a solo practitioner, Cristina also appeared before the Nevada Pardon's Board on behalf of a woman who, 13 years prior, had been convicted of first degree murder with use of a deadly weapon. While preparing the case, Cristina discovered that her client had a defense that was never explored or presented at trial by her former attorney. She successfully argued that the defense would have made a difference in the outcome of the trial. She persuaded all members of the Board to grant her client relief in a unanimous decision. Her client was released from prison shortly thereafter.
In addition to criminal defense, Cristina has practiced other areas of law, including family law, real estate, and contracts. For four years, she was the only Town Attorney for the Town of Pahrump, Nevada. There, she reviewed contracts, drafted ordinances, and advised and made recommendations to the Town Board. Cristina also represented the Town in multi million dollar contract negotiations with the International Association of Firefighter and the local union.

A south London care home has been badly damaged after a fire broke out in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Firefighters rescued residents of the Guinness Court Care Home, on Leafy Way, Croydon, with seven later taken to hospital for precautionary checks.
A London Fire Brigade Spokeswoman said: "The two-storey building was badly damaged by fire.
"Six people were rescued by firefighters, three via ladder and three via an internal staircase, and a further 10 people were led to safety by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus."
The firefighters took three hours to extinguish the fire and they spent much of the morning at the scene.
Woodside Fire Station watch manager Danny Kelly said: "We were out dealing with a bin fire and a car fire in the local area when we noticed smoke pouring over the rooftops.
"We got into the fire engine and went to investigate. As we got closer we saw flames and smoke shooting out of the care home and realised there were people inside.
"Crews quickly got to work rescuing people and putting out the flames."


(HealthDay News) -- The first generic version of the EpiPen was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday, paving the way for more affordable versions of the lifesaving allergy emergency medication.
"Today's approval of the first generic version of the most widely prescribed epinephrine auto-injector in the U.S. is part of our longstanding commitment to advance access to lower cost, safe and effective generic alternatives once patents and other exclusivities no longer prevent approval," FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said in an agency news release.
The price of the drug and its launch date were not yet available, but the company's statement suggested it would not be in time for many parents who are scrambling to find EpiPens in their pharmacies now, the newspaper reported. Teva will market its generic epinephrine auto-injector in 0.3 milligram (mg) and 0.15 mg strengths.


What are your summer makeup/skin issues? For me, it's always shine control.
One product that I've tried recently for oily summer skin is BECCA Soft Light Blurring Setting Powder.
If you're wondering how this works, the micro-fine powder is infused with ceramic microspheres that scatter light to reduce the look of imperfections.
The powder comes in two shades: Natural Finish (golden tone) and Pink Haze, which is the shade I picked up. So far, I'm loving the vibrancy and brightening this shade adds to my complexion. A bonus is that you can use it to soften eye darkness, without cakiness that may accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.
To apply the setting powder, BECCA recommends using a kabuki brush for an even finish. I've found that a fan brush also works well (it also uses less of the powder, which is on the pricey side).
The powder also has versatility in that you can wear it on top of your foundation, underneath your foundation, or without any foundation.
It can also be applied throughout the day to refresh your look, in other words, to eliminate shine.


Well, who knew? Right back in the day – 43BC actually – there was a famous Roman poet called Ovid. He is best known for his racy poems about his love, Corinna, known as Amores (The Loves). However, for reasons entirely unknown, he veered off at a tangent and wrote a poem about women's cosmetics, mainly saying that women should be careful of their manners first and foremost, but then goes on to talk about facial unguents and treatments to enhance beauty. Either he was a thoroughly modern Roman or he was so obsessed with Corinna that he watched her every move, including her toilette.
Anyway, literary types get excited about Ovid, but as we know, I get excited about cosmetics. When my lovely, and longstanding friends, Ben and Bryony gave me a beautifully hand typeset and printed edition of The Art of Cosmetics by Ovid for my birthday last year, I could not have asked for a better gift. It has 40 pages, 15 wood engraving illustrations by Royal engraver, George Buday, and, more importantly, it was printed by Ben and his late father many, many years ago. There are only 525 in existence.
But, if you aren't interested in cosmetics or their history, or where they fit in the world all those years ago, as Ben isn't, rather unsurprisingly, then they're not exactly what you want on your shelves. Ben is selling them off to any BBB readers interested for £10 each. If you're interested, email me and I'll forward on the details to you.
I love this, but do I qualify for one even if I live in the Philippines?
Fascinating stuff. I haven't read Ovid but there is a reference to using egg white under the eyes to hide wrinkles in the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.


Consumed for centuries, mushrooms can provide a great natural, nutrition boost to improve your immunity, energy, and longevity. When I first heard Tero, the founder of Four Sigmatic on The Model Health Podcast speak about the healing power of mushrooms in 2015, I had to give their products a try. You can find many of the Four Sigmatic products at retailers nationwide, including Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, as well as online at FourSigmatic.com or Thrive Market. I tend to purchase direct from their website because I believe it's the only place that carries their entire product line. If you decide to try out any of the products direct from the website, please use my discount code "ahealthybalance" for 10% off your order. In full disclosure, I am an affiliate with this company because I love the products so much and recommend them so often. I love the quality of the Four Sigmatic products and they make mushrooms so palatable and consumable through their great tasting coffees, elixirs and blends.
I have tried most of their product line, though I am not always able to keep up with all of the new, innovative items they introduce regularly. Here are some of my favorites, the products I recommend most to my clients and why. If you want to learn more about using mushrooms to improve your health, I highly recommend this book written by the Four Sigmatic Founder.
All of their coffees come in an "instant", powder form which is great for easy preparation and travel. I like them by themselves or mixed with my favorite non-dairy milk and collagen for more of a latte feel. They also contain only about half the caffeine that a regular cup of coffee does, but you wouldn't even notice the difference with the superfood mushrooms and adaptogens they add in.
I love how the adaptogens in this coffee help to combat stress and reduce the anxious feeling that coffee alone can give you. It contains Tulsi a calm-promoting adaptogen, known to uplift mood, support digestion, and promote balanced energy. They add Astragalus, another adaptogen which contains saponins, flavonoids, and polysaccharides. Saponins are known for their ability to lower cholesterol, improve the immune system and prevent cancer. Flavanoids have anti-oxidative qualities, control and scavenge free radicals, and can help prevent heart disease, cancer and immunodeficiency viruses. Polysaccharides are known to have antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory capabilities, among other health benefits.
This was one of their original products and still one of my favorites to date. I take this one when I need a boost pre-workout, especially if I am doing something on the more challenging side. Cordyceps support energy, stamina and athletic performance, and have been found to have strong antioxidant properties in some studies. Chaga mushrooms help support your daily immune function. I recommend consuming Chaga tea (or the Four Sigmatic Chaga Elixir linked below) when you are starting to feel under the weather.
This coffee is great for when you need to focus (like when you need to have a productive morning at the office). Lion's Mane is a powerful nootropic as it helps increase Nerve Growth Factor or NGF, a protein that is crucial for the survival and function of nerve cells. When the amount of NGF in the brain increases, it enhances cognition by reducing inflammation, encouraging neural growth, and improving overall brain health. As I mentioned before, Chaga is a wonderful immunity booster. This coffee also contains the adaptogen Rhodiola, also known as "golden root," is known to have tremendous fat-burning, energy-enhancing and brain-boosting power as well.
This isn't your usual hot chocolate but it will satisfy your craving for sure. Made with organic cacao, cardamom, cinnamon, Reishi mushroom, and a touch of coconut sugar and stevia. I normally don't love stevia, but I hardly notice it in this beverage. Reishi is one of the world's most studied mushrooms and has been shown to help support sleep and occasional stress. They are believed to help a wide range of health issues including inflammation, liver disease (it's a great liver detoxifier), digestive/gut issues, heart disease, anxiety and depression. I enjoy this one in the afternoons or evenings mixed with warm water or a non-dairy milk.
All you need to do is mix this with water and you have a wonderful, nourishing chai latte. The Reishi is calming and stress relieving while Turkey Tail is a strong immunity booster and is one of the most nourishing mushrooms for gut health.Turkey Tail is a powerful prebiotic which supports the microbiome by feeding the good bacteria in the gut. This beverage is a healthy option when the afternoon sugar cravings hit or you are looking for a warm, sweet beverage to wind down in the evening with.
I love them all! They come in Chaga, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Lion's Mane versions and can be mixed with water or added to other beverages. See the benefits of each of these mushrooms in my previous comments above.
I love this blend because you can get the benefits of so many mushrooms in one little serving. This is the product I use the most. I add it to coffee, teas and my morning smoothie. I even add it to sauces, soups and stews for a boost of mushroom nutrition.
This blend of mushrooms and adaptogens is great for those needing adrenal/stress support in the mornings. You can add a teaspoon of this blend to your morning coffee, tea or smoothie.

Q: Issue Parsing Php With file_get_contents I'm loading my nav-bar from one php file, so I can just edit one file to update the whole site.
Code:
function getRsc($url){
    return file_get_contents($url.'.php');
}

That was working file until I tried to add actual php to the file.
  <?php
      if(isLoggedIn()){
        echo(" My Account ");
      }else {
        echo(" Login/Signup ");
      }
  ?>

It just displays the PHP as text, not parsing it. How can I accomplish this?
Thanks.

A: You can't file_get_contents a PHP file on the local file system like that. It won't get executed, you'll just get back the plain-text, unprocessed code.
You need include or require instead for a local PHP file.

A: Why aren't you just doing a regular require? e.g.,
<?php

require "path/to/nav-bar.php";

You're not supposed to use file_get_contents to load and run a PHP file. Take a look at require.

"They played through Joakim Noah last year," notes Collins. "Now he's playing as a power forward. He's not catching the ball as much. He's not (as) much of a playmaker because you have Derrick Rose and you have Pau Gasol."

Doug Collins: Bulls a very different team

One time Bulls coach Doug Collins believes the Bulls should start Doug McDermott and suggests it could be a slow process for Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah learning to play together and sort out their roles in the offense.
Collins, regarded as perhaps the most astute analyst working in TV media today, made his comments Monday in an ABC/ESPN media conference call with reporters. The Bulls opening game is against the Knicks Wednesday and will be televised by ESPN and WGN with the NBA Countdown show featuring Collins with Jalen Rose and Sage Steele premiering immediately before at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN.
The 2014-15 NBA regular season officially opens Tuesday with the champion Spurs getting their rings and hosting the Dallas Mavericks, as well as Orlando/New Orleans and Lakers/Rockets. Those games will feature several story lines of the fate of the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, the coming of the Pelicans with Anthony Davis and the reinvigorated Mavericks.
Most of the NBA then gets going Wednesday with the Heat without LeBron James hosting Washington and a first look at whether Miami looks like a playoff team, the Thunder without Kevin Durant against fast rising Portland, tough Memphis welcoming No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins and the Lakers heading into Phoenix. Then Thursday LeBron James and his Cavs follow the Bulls into New York and the Bulls Friday have their home opener against the Cavs with the return of Derrick Rose and the expected East conference finalists, the Bulls and Cleveland. There's thus considerable attention toward the Bulls and Cavs, and Collins along with fellow analyst Jalen Rose answered media questions about the season.
Collins said many are overlooking potential issues for the Bulls because of so many new faces and situations even though the core is intact. Collins mentioned the return of Derrick Rose, addition of Gasol and said the inconsistency of the second unit suggested perhaps a need for veteran Mike Dunleavy.
"I think when you look at the Bulls, I don't think people realize that you have a lot of the same pieces back, but they're a very different team," said Collins. "To me, when I see Pau Gasol out there playing as a center and I see Joakim Noah playing as a power forward, his (Noah's) defensive role has changed. Last year, he was the Defensive Player of the Year as a center. Now you're going to see him playing at that four spot a lot when Pau is in there as a five. You'll see him (Noah) play as a five when he's out there with Taj Gibson. But so much of what they did last year, their offense, they played through Joakim as an offensive player, not necessarily to score but to facilitate.
"Now he's (Noah) got to find his role in that offense because the ball is either going to be in Derrick Rose's hands or it's going to be in Pau Gasol's hands in the post," said Collins, zeroing in on the most troublesome issue for the Bulls in preseason. "So that's a little different. To me, it's going to be interesting at the end of the day who Thibs (coach Tom Thibodeau) ends up settling on to be the starter. It looks like Dunleavy maybe to start the year, but that second unit has got to get an identity. I thought in the preseason they were very inconsistent.
"When you had (Doug) McDermott out there, when you had him out there with (Nikola) Mirotic, two rookies; you had Aaron Brooks, who was a new guy; you had Taj (Gibson) out there; and you had Kirk Hinrich," noted Collins. "So I thought they were struggling to find who they needed to be. I'd go on record and say I feel like at the end of the day, if somehow Doug McDermott can be a starter, I think he's going to get better shots with that starting unit being out there with Pau Gasol and with Derrick Rose. And it's not going to depend so much on Jimmy Butler having to make as many shots. And then I think Mike Dunleavy is a guy who has played off the bench in his career, and to me with him out there and Taj Gibson and Kirk and Aaron Brooks, you've got a little bit more of a veteran feel to it."
It's an astute analysis, not surprisingly, from Collins, who coached the Bulls to their best seasons in more than a decade when he took over in 1986. He subsequently became one of the game's elite turnaround specialists in coaching stints with the Pistons, Wizards and 76ers. Collins says he's out of head coaching for good and is now working in the studio for ESPN. But with his son, Chris, coaching at Northwestern, Doug Collins is in the Chicago area more, he retains a close friendship with Bulls executive John Paxson and attended a Bulls preseason game. So Collins has spent more time watching the Bulls than the typical TV analyst, most of whom often provide a generic overview. Assuming they even watch the games, which it seems unlikely with the likes of former players like Shaquille O'Neal. Collins provides what a true coach sees. And it sounded like he sees a team that has adjustments to make in an early season learning curve.
"I sure hope that Derrick Rose can stay healthy because as a man who suffered injury, my heart aches when you see a great player (hurt)," said Collins, whose All-Star career was cut short over serious knee surgeries. "II was never a Derrick Rose, an MVP, but I was a player who played at a pretty high level and loved to play. When the game was taken away from me, it was heartbreaking that I couldn't play. I hope he can play. He's taken a lot of grief from being hurt. Nobody wants to be hurt, and so for him to be back out there – I saw some great play from him in the preseason--I think the question is going to be his building on the minutes. But his efficiency has been terrific.
"Right now a team that is built on their defense," noted Collins of the Bulls. "Can their offense come up to snuff? Can Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol give them extra points at all and make the game a little easier for them to where they don't have to grind out every game every single night?
"How do you incorporate Pau Gasol into the low post?" asked Collins "They played through Joakim Noah last year. Now he's playing as a power forward. He's not catching the ball as much. He's not (as) much of a playmaker because you have Rose and you have Pau Gasol. Jimmy Butler has already got an injury. So there's a lot of stuff going on there that we know they're going to be great defensively. Can they get good enough offensively to be a team that can win a championship?
"I don't know what kind of minutes (Nikola) Mirotic is going to get because I don't know if Thibs can play four bigs," said Collins. "And we know there's 96-minutes between Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol and Taj Gibson, and I think the interesting thing for Thibs is it's going to be… last year, it was a given, the third quarter ended, Carlos Boozer put on his warm up, he ended the game with Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson. Now Pau Gasol wants to finish those games, too, so what's it going to be? It might be from night to night he doesn't always finish with the same two guys. I think that's a dynamic that he has to figure out.
"I think they have the right pieces, but I think that's going to take a while longer," said Collins. "Derrick Rose coming back, they're still not solidified yet with that starting situation. I'm of the belief that McDermott would be a better starter and Dunleavy coming off the bench would solidify that second unit. But I think Thibs is concerned about having the best possible team he can have out there to start the season so they don't get off to a slow start. With all this said and done and Chicago coming back, I think they have as much work to do as Cleveland in getting themselves together to where they want to be."
Asked about Cleveland and Miami, Collins added: "I just look at Cleveland, I think they're going to be one of the most dynamic offensive teams in the league. I said the first exhibition game they played, I think LeBron took seven shots, had two buckets, Kyrie didn't play, and they had 122 points. So they're going to be a team that can score the ball. I think the question is going to be for them as a champion: Can they become a top-10 defensive team? I think it's going to be vital for (Anderson) Varejao and Tristan Thompson to stay healthy. They're their two big guys that they're going to ask to give them some size. They're going to be a great rebounding team. And I think at the end of the day, LeBron has a chance to lead the league in assists. And I think once again, he'll become a first league all defender, and so I think that they're going to be awfully tough to beat.
"I've got a lot of respect for Miami," Collins added. "When I look at their team, I say there's still a lot of questions with Norris Cole, Mario Chalmers being your point guard, still a lot of questions about how many games Dwyane Wade is going to be able to play at a high level because of the injury to his knee that he suffered. Can Chris Bosh be back to that No. 1 option, Josh McRoberts and Luol Deng filling in, what kind of bench play they're going to get? I know they're going to be well prepared. I know they're going to compete. I know they won't beat themselves. I just don't see them being in the class of those other two teams (Cavs and Bulls)."

Q: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable : tf.keras.layers.concatenate : 'layer should be called on a list of 'f'at least 1 input I am trying to implement Unet with TensorFlow 2.7 and python 3.8. I am following the guide but I am facing an issue while running the architecture.
The problem I am facing is while using concatenating the inputs and Conv2DTranspose.
I am also looking for various implementations of Unet but all are written in different styles and different versions of tensorflow.

            padding='same')

If you want to concatenate two layers, then you have to feed two inputs, but you are making your life unnecessarily difficult by using the Sequential API. Generally, I would recommend using the functional Keras API for building a UNET model. Here is a good starting point.
