Welcome to another Truthzilla Bonus Episode! This week we point out some glaringly obvious red-flags with the "V" (rhymes with Maxine) agendas being rolled out as we speak. Flu shots "increase your likelihood" to get a respiratory illness up to 36%. Well what do you know. And they just so happened to have 200 million flu hots laying around that they can't wait to stick into your body!  Is this more of the de-population agenda? Are They really trying to kill up to 200 million people this winter?  Couldn't be!! And for SURE no one has ever made any sort of Freudian slips indicating that 200 million people have died from the Rona, right?  Hmmmm.....Flu shot increases your likelihood of catching the 'Rona:https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/vaccine-misinformation-flu-shots-equal-health/https://www.disabledveterans.org/2020/03/11/flu-vaccine-increases-coronavirus-risk/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X19313647?via%3Dihub

Scott interviews Andrew Cockburn about Russia’s supposed new hypersonic missiles, which are said to have the ability to elude conventional missile defense systems, potentially making the U.S. a target for a nuclear strike with little that could be done to defend ourselves. The problem? These missiles almost certainly can’t exist. Cockburn explains all the problems that American engineers have faced in trying to design hypersonic weapons, inferring that the Russians must have come up against the same problems. Instead, he says, programs like this serve two purposes. First, they are good for Putin’s domestic popularity, since he will be perceived as standing up to the Americans. Second, they are a great way to funnel money from the Russian taxpayers to Putin’s friends in the arms industry, just like American politicians do. The good news, says Cockburn, is that the world isn’t under a greater threat than before due to these weapons. The bad news is that the people of America and Russia will continue to get exploited by their governments for the benefit of special interest groups.

Understanding Texts and Readers Best selling author Jennifer Serravallo is already a rock star in the education community. Her previous books, "The Writing Strategies Book" and "The Reading Strategies Book"  have helped thousands of educators offer strategies for reading and writing.  Now, Serravallo is out with a new guide designed to help teachers make sense of reading comprehension. "Understanding Texts & Readers" offers the tools for an educator to identify if a student is comprehending a book, even if an educator is not familiar with the book the student is reading. Are They "Getting It"? Serravallo says her goal is to make sense of something, that is sometimes hard to make sense of. There are many different viewpoints on what it even means to understand comprehension. Ranging from the Rosenblatt Reader Response Theory to a Proficient Reader Research, it can get murky for educators. "Sometimes the classroom teacher is left thinking, what am I really looking for? What does comprehension look like? Credit: jenniferserravallo.com Serravallo says, "Sometimes the classroom teacher is left thinking, what am I really looking for? What does comprehension look like? What does it look like when a kid really gets it?" With stories, charts, and examples, "Understanding Texts & Readers" quickly helps educators determine if their students are "getting it." In the book, Serravallo offers a qualities of response mechanism, so teachers can look at a students response and identify if the student needs some support. "If we know that a plot in a "level R" text is likely to have a flashback, then if a child is reading a "level R" text then we ask them to retell. If they're only telling us in sequence, we can know that they might be missing something in the text," says Serravallo. The ultimate goal is to make reading fun and create lifelong readers. "If you are not comprehending, then what fun is reading? And I think a lot of disengagement with reading is rooted in a lack of understanding," says Serravallo.

Episode 39witha Panel from the Institute of Advanced Financial Planners Conference Title: Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies, Are They an Investment you should Recommend to your Clients? Summary:During the 39th episode of the Fintech Impact podcast, Jason Pereira(award-winning financial planner, university lecturer, writer), Kyle J Kemper (Executive Director and Chief Strategy Director of the Blockchain Association of Canada), and David Hayes (Technology Brokers International) discuss the phenomenons of blockchain and cryptocurrency. The three put forth their view of the cutting edge investments and leave us with revolutionary takeaways. The trio help demystify the complexity of both Blockchain and Cryptocurrency.Show Notes:● 00:48—Introduction ofFintech Conference in Ontario--Details are avaiable on Jason´s linkedin profile.● 4:23—Introduction of the panel who will be discussing cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Kyle J Kemper, David Hase, and Jason Pereira speak as part of the panel.● 7:52—To be so sure about whether your coffee is fairtrade, you need data and a secure system to verify it. A solution that can do this is Blockchain. Blockchain can manage all of our data, and it can help keep our information secure.● 10:23—Blockchain fast facts: 1,600 cryptocurrencies already exist. 54th most popular google search this year. One of the most valuable start-ups in Canada is a bitcoin company. The biggest bitcoin story is about the bitcoin bubble.● 11:23—Canada is creating their own national cryptocurrency.● 12:08—The recent cryptocurrency bubble. Cryptocurency breaks Warren´s basic tenenant of investment: Invest in things that have intrinsic value.● 13:20—Problems of cryptocurrency include scalability, huge energy consumption, fraud, money laundering, and security. The number one concern and problem is that people don´t trust the systems.● 14:34—Is now the time to invest in Cryptocurrency?● 14:54—David kicks off the panel.● 15:03—David has a vested interest in the cryptocurrency, and from a technology standpoint, he believes in the future of blockchain. It is a great technology.● 16:30—Blockchain can promote cyber security and will grow to include biometrics--your fingerprint and more. Blockchain is generally trusted.● 17:30—Amazon and IBM are working with blockchain as part of their formula, and they are growing their business nicely.● 17:50—Digressing from Blockchain, Bitcoin is dead. In startk comparison to Blockchain, David doesn´t like bitcoin.● 18:28—Bitcoin is more of a digital trend.● 18:53—Once someone (like the world bank) enters the market and adds stability and credibility to the volatility, digital currencies would be a good investment and that would be a key time to invest in the sector.● 19:50—Shopify allows every single type of bitcoin to be used on their platform.● 20:22—Transition to Kyle Kemper● 20:26—There is actually a website that has bitcoin arbituaries that shows you how many times bitcoin has died. Bitcoin is here and digital currencies are the future.● 21:26—You are taking risk by not having bitcoin in your portfolio. Kyle wouldn´t use it to support his mortgag, but it is an investment worth having.● 22:26—In the past, we needed banks to move the money. With bitcoin, banks do not stifle the transcaction process in terms of supply and inflation. ● 23:26—With bitocoin, you skip the need for interrmediaries like banks.● 24:17—Bitcoin is a currency, a commodity, and a ledger that everyone can witness. ● 24:53—Bitcoin is young but still growing.● 25:25—As big players come into the market, there will be a flip in the market from volatility to stability and credibility.● 25:53—Insure yourself and use Kyle´s formula to invest in Bitocin at a proportion based on your overall global wealth.● 28:00—Bitcoin is fixed at 21,000,000 pieces of Bitcoin.● 28:50—Transition to Jason Pereira.● 29:30—Jason unpacks thoughts around cryptocurrency We have never had anything like this before and that is what makes cryptocurrency difficult.● 30:15—Therise and fall of the bitcoin bubble and the probability that it will be a lasting investment over time.● 30:43—If you are trying to make fast money, bitcoin is a disaster. However, bitcoin is the most revolutionized computer we have seen in the avenue.● 31:03—The entire system for monetization has been flipped with cryptocurrency.● 31:13—All the code and protocols that everything we do is based on--facebook, facetime call, etc. Crypto flipped the protocol. Crypto gets value at the originating protocol level.● 32:17—Three uses that determine if something can be used as a currency: it store value, serves as an even exchange, and measures how much something is worth. Bitcoin does all three.● 33:07— Bitcoin´s other functionality is the utilities side like smart contracts.● 33:24—Smart contracts allow anything in code that has been completed to be compensated accordingly--work gets done, money gets paid. Jason talks about how this affects the efficiency of futures contracts in the natural gas industry.● 35:08—Smart contracts based off of bitcoin can measure the computing that has been completed by employees and promote accountability in coporations. ● 36:00—Smart contracts could also help streamline the process after getting hit by a storm. ● 37:27—Can money be made in Bitcoin? yes, but as an advisor we have to measure the return. Is there a potential for return? yes, but at this stage in the game, there is so much technical jargon that we need to wade through.● 38:19—The Cryptocurrency and Blockchain space is not mature enough to be able to incorporate it into our portfolios today. We have to put our client`s priorities first, many of which are based of off a way of life rather than returns.● 39:01—The floor is open to questions.● 39:32—Is cryptocurrency too volatile to use as currency? This is a western view of currency. If you are in a country where currency is less stable than cryptocurrency, there will be a drive to use crypto.● 42:05—The voltility comes down to your own investment appetite.● 42:51— What is the concept of mining and does it mean anyone can produce more currency?● 44:33— Does cryptocurrency undermine the bank of canada?● 45:46— Any currency undermines the central bank. Rather, it is another venue for purchasing.● 46:33—How close are we to reaching the point of investment? A year away or ten years away? Ask us in ten years.● 48:14—Your cash and credit card are far more vulnerable to security breech than blockchain.● 48:45— The role blockchain will play in patents, copywriting, and owership is important. It will become the underlying infrastructure for ownership and also a way to monetize that ownership.● 51:24—The computing power is not the processing power. ● 53:17—You can increase the number of bits, but people are unlikely to do that as it affects the value of bitcoin negatively.● 55:56—More pepole have lost money with Bitcoin than made money with it.● 56:20—What can you do right now? Download a wallet so you can invest and hold digital currencies.3 Key Points:1. Blockchain and cryptocurrency´s technical jargon can be convuluted and make it hard to understnad the market in its entireity, but they are considered to be revolutionary advances across several fields including the futures market, utilities--smart contracts, and future corporate accoutability structures.2. The bitcoin market has been distracted by greed. If you are trying to speculate and make fast money, it is a disaster. However, the truth is that bitcoin is revolutionary, and digital currencies are a market of the future.3. Bitcoin is a valid form of currency: it can store value, be used as a unit of measure, and be exchanged. However, it still needs maturity, stability, and credibility to beconsidered a part of portfolios. Experiement with it, but don´t bet your house on it. There is a love for Blockchain and a dislike for Bitcoin.Tweetable Quotes:- “Start experimenting for the love of god. Go open a Robo Account. Go buy bitcoin. Once you see these things, you can start to understand.” –Jason.- “The realchallenge is that we have never had something like this before” – Jason.- “Bitcoin is a distraction due to greed. If you are trying to speculate and make fast money, it is a disaster. However, the truth is is that bitcoin is revolutionary.” – Jason.- “You are taking a risk by not having bitcoin.” – Kyle.- “ As big players come into the market, there will be a flip in the market.”– Kyle.- “ More people have lost money on Bitcoin than made money on Bitcoin”– David.Resources Mentioned:●The Fintech Impact●Refer to Jason Pereira´s Linkedinfor Information about the Fintech event hosted by Individual Finance and Decision Center: New Developments in Fintech and their impacts on Society●David Hayes●Kyle Kemper●Woodgate Financial●Itunes, Sticherto access the podcast●Insitute of Advance Financial Planners Confrence●Edge Wallet See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jon Moore reporting! This week we begin with a post linking to the ABC’s Science Show from 3rd of June 2017. The segment is entitled: Analysing wastewater reveals population health. Not surprisingly, given the unfettered nature of chemical production from 1945 until the momentum of Silent Spring led to the establishment of environmental protection legislation across the nations outside of the Iron Curtain in the 1970s, many of these chemicals persist. Not just in the environment, that is waterways, soils and so on but also in newborns. Yes we are, in fact, part of the environment so that’s not as surprising as we might at first think. To quote from the segment summary: Quote: Some chemicals, produced for the manufacture of goods and services don’t readily break down in the environment. Some can persist for years, decades or longer. The pesticide DDT was banned in 1972 in the US, but can still be detected in the environment and in people. End Quote. These chemicals are very persistent. Back in day, when the land was being prepared for 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, the site selected had issues. Yet Sydney 2000 was considered a very green games. A quote from “Sydney’s Toxic Green Games” suggests it started well behind scratch: Quote: The area has been home to a number of unpleasant industries since early in the century. Part of the site once housed the State Abattoirs (1907 to 1988) and the State Brickworks (1911 to 1988) which included a quarry for clay and shale to make bricks. The Navy's armaments depot is currently on the site but is likely to be relocated. In the mid-1980s when it became evident that the brickworks and the abattoirs were nearing the end of their operating lives, the area was designated for redevelopment. It is surrounded by chemical industries, a fuel terminal, a large petroleum products storage area, an oil refinery and a prison. Unoccupied parts of the site have also been subject to years of waste dumping. End Quote. The point I’m trying to make is we are all walking around to some lesser or greater extent on contaminated lands. There are clearly areas of concentration yet the segment from the Science Show points out DDT in newborns! Even if we manage to avoid a three degree rise in global temperatures, and in my darker moments, that seems unlikely, we still have this lingering contamination throughout the biosphere. And it’s not just industrial chemicals, antidepressants have been found in fish downstream from sewage works. I quote: Quote: The antidepressants were found in fish collected over 8 kilometers (approximately 5 miles) downstream of the location of the wastewater discharge. The scientists detected several commonly used antidepressants in water, streambed sediment, and the brain tissue of white suckers, a native fish species. Fish collected upstream from the wastewater discharge did not have antidepressants present in their brain tissues. End Quote So we are in varying degrees wading through a cocktail of carcinogenic and mind altering and who knows what other types of chemicals. Does these things bioaccumulate? In other words do they become more concentrated as we move up the food chain. Does a little antidepressant in fish ground up and fed to pigs which are then eaten by humans become a significant dose in our species. Given the horrors of factory farming, a little prozac might ease the suffering of pigs but do we want to be bathed in the stuff ourselves? I would like to have the ability to give consent before consuming antidepressants but I and you may have no choice. What are we to do? Let’s take a deep breath and review where we stand. Climate change appears to be accelerating, we are bathed in chemicals from the 1950s, antidepressants could be endemic in the biosphere, the politics of our times point to towards the greater possibility of nuclear war, industrial agriculture is creating antibiotic resistant pathogens and we have huge numbers of refugees on the move across the globe. What is it that connects all these? After many days of unpleasant intense and years of background consideration of these problems, the one thing which seems to connect all these issues is oil. The chemicals were created through the use of petrochemicals, climate change is clearly connected to fossil fuels, industrial agriculture is critically dependant upon oil and the refugee movements can be traced back to political decisions related to control of oil supplies. The threat of nuclear war does not seem to be directly attributable to oil but is just the icing on the cake. So, is there any hope? I believe so. Despite the US pulling out of the Paris agreement, despite the Australian government’s obsession with the Adani coal mine in the Galilee basin and all the vested interests in the fossil fuel world, price signals will, eventually trump rent seeking. Pun intended. A piece from Financial Post entitled: This year’s new global solar capacity on pace to potentially pass 2016 record due to lower costs is one of many posts I’ve added to the blog in the past three years. A quote from the Financial Post piece: Quote: New global solar capacity will continue to grow this year, after lower costs drove it to record levels in 2016, and could surpass 80 gigawatts (GW), Europe’s solar industry forecast on Tuesday. Solar photovoltaic (PV) module prices have fallen 80 per cent since 2009 as capacity has risen and technologies improved. And a record 76.6 GW of new solar capacity was installed and connected to the grid last year, 50 per cent up on 2015, solar power association SolarPower Europe said in a report. End Quote Soooooo, the price of solar PV continues to fall, the price of oil to produce is heading the other way, especially when we reach or reached peak oil. Add in wind, geothermal, wave and who knows what else and the end of the age of oil should be nigh. The researchers are doing what needs to be done, the public, when they can are being driven by price signals. Australia now has the highest level of rooftop solar PV in the world, makes sense on a sun drenched continent. Mega battery factories are coming on line so we can store the energy when the sun shines for when it doesn’t! What appears to be the one stumbling block is the huge amount of money thrown around by lobbyists for fossil fuels in the democratic system. Hammer your local representatives, annoy your governments, hassle your local councils, make waves, yell, kick and scream. The age of oil has got to end for the health, safety and future of a viable biosphere. A biosphere that can support life, that is not laced with carcinogenic man made chemicals, that is not drenched in antidepressants and that sustains all life within a climate range we have enjoyed for the holocene. It will take time for the CO2 concentrations to drop, it will take time to develop and research bacteria capable of converting the background chemical contamination to a more benign form but it can be done. That it can be done by removing money from politics hit me as so simple yet that does not mean, necessarily, that it will be easy but it can be done. Indeed it must me done. And on that happy note we will end this week’s episode. If you’ve liked what you heard, please tell everyone you know any way you can! I’d also really appreciate a review on iTunes.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0214 And It Will Be About Proven Contractor Bookkeeping Road Map We Make Contractor Bookkeeping Look Easy Because we do it every day, Monday through Friday and some holidays. This makes it over 300 days per year. With multiple clients, we are not new; it’s not new. The same goes in your field of Construction. You do many of the same things over and over again. The end result is so clean and tidy when the customer is watching you it looks like it was effortlessly done. That’s so simple “Why Couldn’t I Do That.” When I tried, it seems to be “A Lot Harder.” Everyone has a skill set. Construction Bookkeeping and Construction Accounting is what we do. I confess – we think we find it easier having come from a Construction Background (for Randal growing up in a construction family and for us personally having started, owned, operated several Construction Companies). We can speak with conviction about the basics and the more complex issues as you grow your Construction Company, Handyman Company, Trade Contractor or any one of the dozens of Construction Company types we serve. Short List Construction Contractors We Serve  Brand New Construction Company    Handyman Company Cabinet Installer    HVAC Contractor Carpentry Contractor    Insulation Contractor     Carpet And Tile Contractor    Interior Designer       Commercial Tenant Improvement Contractor   Land Development Company Concrete Contractor    Landscape Contractor     Construction Company   Masonry Contractor Construction Manager   Mold Remediation Company       Contracting Company    Moss Removal Company       Contractor   Painting Contractor       Custom Deck Builder    Plumbing Contractor       Custom Home Builder    Pressure Washing Company       Demolition Contractor    Remodel Construction Company       Drywall Contractor    Renovation Contractor       Electrical Contractor    Restoration Contractor       Emerging Contractor    Roofing Contractor       Excavation Contractor    Spec Home Builder       Finish Millwork Contractor    Specialty Contractor       Flipper House Contractor    Subcontractor Flooring Contractor    Trade Contractor       Framing Contractor    Underground Contractor       General Contractor    Utility Contractor       Glass Installation Contractor    Construction Employees     Gutter Installation Company    Construction Support Specialist   Additional QuickBooks Templates, Resources, And Services QuickBooks Set Up Templates   Solopreneur QuickBooks Chart Of Accounts     Free Stuff QuickBooks Item Lists Templates     Consulting   We Serve Over 100 Types Of Contractors So If Your Type Of Company Is Not Listed Please Do Not Be Concerned Because If You Are A Contractor There Is A Good Chance We Can Help You! Call Now: 206-361-3950 You must decide for yourself the benefit and value of having W2 employees. Other options include using a Staffing Service, subcontractors, becoming a consultant or Project Manager, 1099 Contractors or keeping the company smaller where no outside employees are needed. All of us need employees. The question is “Are They, Ours? Yes, we have direct employees. I can tell you we do not have as many direct employees as when we were Construction Contractors. Do we ever intend to have that many direct employees again? No Never, not ever in this lifetime. When we are reviewing software and services; we look for the larger companies who HAVE employees. We want to have access to their Customer Support and Tech Support (all are indirect employees). Outsourcing means we have access to highly qualified staff without all the headache and expense of in-house employees. This is what it takes to keep everything running smoothly (Plus good equipment). Fast Computers, Multiple Monitors, each office with their own printer, Hi-Speed Internet, Hi-Speed Scanners, good office environment with large “L” shaped desks, plus additional tables as work areas, comfortable office chairs, and finally working HVAC system. Hats off to Construction Companies who have 20, 30, 50 or more direct employees: ·    As you grow, there are additional regulations that come with more and more employees. ·    Recommend using a 3rd Party Payroll Service with an HR Component. ·    Suggest paying Bi-Weekly unless mandated to pay weekly. ·    Use Electronic Timecard.  Limit Employee Advances.   ·    Give Perks and Benefits that employees will appreciate. ·    Pay Well – There is a balance between Under Paying and Over Paying your employees.   ·    Reward the productive employees. ·    Have written Coaching Reports for those who need a little reminder.   ·    Don’t be afraid to “Let Someone Go” if it is no longer a “Good Fit.” ·    Some employees want to leave and just don’t know how to Quit. ·    They do not want to leave and have “Hard Feelings, ” but they want to move on.   Many challenges “Big or Small” are exactly the same for all companies: ·    Keeping Track of Paperwork ·    Developing Processes ·    Creating Estimates ·    Getting Signed Change Orders ·    Creating Customer Invoices in a Timely Manner ·    Presenting The Invoice To The Customer ·    Asking For Money ·    Paying their Bills ·    Focusing On Tomorrow ·    Dealing With Today ·    Learning From Yesterday How can you do all of those things all at the same time? It is simple; but not easy. It takes practice Finding a “Good Bookkeeper” who understands construction and your issues is a First Start. Note – I did not say find a bookkeeper who will come to your house, pick up your mail, open it. Decide what is important. Deposit the checks, Write the checks, Pay the bills. That is a role for you, your spouse or a partner – not an outsider. Do not give a bookkeeper TOO MUCH AUTHORITY or you could wake up one day and be a victim of Bookkeeper Embezzlement! I have known bookkeepers who have “Presented themselves as part of Management” (as a Partner) which upon further questions to the actual owner I learned that was not true. (Just The Bookkeeper) Same has been true for Project Managers, Estimators, and other Field Employees who go beyond their authority. It is easy to spend “Other People’s Money” it is so much easier than spending our own. The local paper recently had an article about a “Bad Bookkeeper” who had been caught embezzling the Contractor’s funds for several years. The hardship to the Contractor and the loss of money is enormous. The Bad Bookkeeper was convicted, but even if restitution is 100%, it will take years and years to be pay off.   In the meantime, the Contractor has a Problem – A Huge Problem. That money is GONE! Fast Easy Accounting presents and provides a “We Solution” Our focus is mostly “After The Fact” Accounting. We never want any Government Agency to say we “Should Have Paid Something.” We also never want for our Clients to worry that we spent their money on Anything. The only funds we touch is our own fees – we auto receive Weekly (on Mondays) or Monthly (1st Day of the month) depending on the services provided.  All services are Month-To-Month; ending on last day of the month. We Enter All Of Your Paperwork Into QuickBooks Desktop Version In The Cloud Accessible 24/7 From Your Desktop, Laptop, Notebook, Tablet, Smart Phone Any Web-Enabled Device Including iPads, iPhones, Apple, MacBook We use a Commercial Host approved by Intuit. Access it like going to the Bank – log into your account, view, print reports, move money between accounts and chose if you want to use “online bill pay” feature. We embrace Cloud Services (especially those with a Master Dashboard). State Governments are also embracing Cloud Access for many Government Services. All the State of Washington agencies work together; if a contractor is audited The Agency involved is asking for documents beyond what they need to help the other agencies. What does this mean? ·    Good Recordkeeping ·    Customer Invoices ·    Customer Payments   ·    Timecards ·    Employee Paystubs ·    Bank Statements ·    General Receipts We have a Tried And True Contractors Bookkeeping System ·    One which includes a Cloud based Document Management System where you send  your documents ·    You can forward emails, scan, snap a picture, scan and send PDFs, whatever is easy for you. ·    If you use a “Main Stream” bank with enhanced images, you can link the bank feeds to our paperless server and get your contractors bookkeeping service running almost 100% autopilot!   What Does "Full-Service Contractor Bookkeeping” Mean To You? For many contractors, it means Hire someone – usually anyone at all who says Yes – I will do everything. Giving that BRAND NEW Person all the user names, passwords, authorization to sign checks and run back out to the field as fast as possible and “Forget About It – Everything Is Handled” For many Construction Contractors That Answer Is Wrong | Very Bad | Leads To Painful Results! I’m Sorry for those who were hoping – This is not “How We Work.”   In our system – It is a “We Process” We want YOU to “Help Us Help You.”   A Major Part of this process is that “You Control The Money.” ·    Receiving The Money ·    Paying the Bills ·    Hiring ·    Promoting ·    Coaching ·    Firing Employees.   You are an Owner, not a Manager – Making Decisions Is A Daily Activity Though there is a lot of managing the day-to-day activities of owning and operating a business.   Our part is getting every scrap of paper (income or expense) in an accounting system. We use QuickBooks Desktop so that you have the reports you need to properly make decisions.   Your Tax Accountant understands the QuickBooks layout and maps their Tax Software to it.   I am reminded of a book about decision making I read to our son as a small child. David Decides About Behaviors: A Story for Children, a Guide for Parents by Susan Heitler The same principle applies to everyone. Each one of us is David.   We make decisions every day about everything.  No decision is a decision.     We are here to help – If you will let us!   AND if you will do Your Part it can be a seamless activity without undue stress on either side. With good accounting, you are able to focus on getting your work done. You do not have to explain to use How To Do The Bookkeeping – We Know What To Do!

After a short break, the guys return to discuss the whirlwind of the last two weeks in sports from March Madness coming in HOT to the NFL Combine to Michael Jordan having a "HUH!?" moment at the Duke-UNC game.  Jets must not have gotten any flowers for V-Day as they're breaking up with everyone, are they planning some serious offseason retooling? Kaepernick will no longer kneel during the anthem next season, but where will that be at?  Knicks waived B. Jennings & added to their dumpster fire of a season.  The World Baseball Classic is here & Josh's friend Frank deJulio is pitching for Team Italy - good luck.  And a transgender girl wins the Texas HS wrestling title, so what does this mean moving forward? Segments include "The Ceiling is the Roof: Taco Bell Weddings" and " Are They crazy: Justin vs. Wolf" 

I was recently looking at the results of one of the key word searches that I routinely perform, “retirement survey.” The first two, both of which are headlines of articles in widely-read publications, are as follows: Younger Americans are the Most Optimistic About Retirement, Study Shows Older Workers Feel on Track for Retirement. Are They? […]
