    Rosewood is an American police procedural drama series which stars Morris Chestnut as Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr., a private pathologist working in Miami, Florida.

    • The show sounds interesting from what you’ve shared about it. I generally enjoy watching these types of dramas but haven’t had the time to watch any lately. I never started watching Elementary but I will watch the first episode of both of these shows and see if I like them. I’ve heard good things about them.

    Adblocker didn’t destroy Helium.   Helium did it all itself.  Who wants to waste time on such a site?  Imagine researching some topic, writing, posting….and your item is discarded. Nah.

    HubPages is still ‘active’, term used loosely.   It once paid fairly well, had many good writers, and had Twelve MIllion Hits a Month.   Twelve Million.   Getting 1k hits on an item was minor, as many writers got so much more.

    The site demanded long articles with lots of images.

    There were so many sites; and a great deal of quality items were published.  The quality kept Factoidz and Helium alive.  They had many hits.  Writing on Blogjob and not being paid is ridiculous.  It hasn’t starting paying yet, and it has been a long time… I think a year…

    Helium was another site.  In this one, you had to write on a set topic.   After you wrote your item would be ‘judged’ in comparison to other items on the same topic.  To submit an item one had to judge other items…

    One has to be alert.  When one sees a manipulation or a trick, they have to know what to do.  When a site is in America then one can contact a law enforcement agency which will shut them down.  With Bubblews, the two thieves who ran that one lived in America so they were a few steps from jail cell when they were shut down.

    What was the worst part was when he dropped one to ‘member’ the article was earning.   He was pocketing the money.  So you could see your article earning… but he would keep your money.

    To get the ball rolling I want to discuss a site that went down perhaps ten years ago.  A site called Factoidz.

    This Blog is about writing sites.  Those which went down, those which are still up, the pluses and minuses.

    It is hoped that we can learn from sites that went down; why? so as to know if another site is teetering on the edge of collapse.

    Sites that remain; why?  And are they strong or weak?

    I probably 2 to 3 blogs a day with 1000 or more words and if I focused on writing. But I can also write 5 or more articles a day when its only 300 or more words. But lately, I was not able to write more blogs since I was busy lately.

    I just drop by sometimes to read some blogs and do some comments or join some conversations on forums.

    Rachel Carson, a biologist during the mid-1900s was frightened that some other time, there will be no birds flying in the sky. Why is that so? Because pollution is becoming worst as human population becomes bigger […]

    • Yeah, actually almost all even children know this matter, however, one does not know how to take the effects seriously. Sometimes, or most of the time I should say, people don’t mind what is happening around them, and so even simple cleanliness of their own surroundings does not matter to them.

      Yes, we could say that Government should do something about it, but, we as an individual should also do our part. That is why we are always reading like this things to remind ourselves of what we know but are not being seriously taken into consideration.

    • Thank you for research and sharing your findings with us. Indeed air pollution has gotten worse over the decades.
      At least once per year in my country in the capital city, the garbage dump site is set ablaze. Some say it is done manually, others say it was ignited naturally by the waste that has been dumped there. Each year the fire gets larger and larger, the smoke clouds gets darker and darker, and the span of the smoke clouds get wider and wider, and the effects and even more grave. More people get sick and more businesses and schools have to be closed due to the effects of the smoke. There have been talks over and over to get things done but so far the process is moving like a snail. Hopefully some resolve will soon be metted out.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Abusive men never really Change 7 years, 9 months ago

    This is a true story, the only thing I change are the names.

    Trevor came into Sonia’s life like a hurricane.  He virtually swept her off her feet. He seemed to love her so much and she didn’t love him that much, […]

    • It’s sad that she has to be with him again, hoping that he will change. The fact that the second wife next to her eventually left him also, means he hasn’t changed but have the same ways.

      It’s even more sad that she has to really study why is he doing those to her. She is not after all an intelligent woman. The husband is, because he can really make things to abuse her.

      • No. The fact was, she had done a retrospective so she was not shocked or surprised. She believed he had never changed and was proven right. His attempts to annoy her were assumed before she arrived, and proven right.

        One of the most important things an abused wife must internalise is that she was an abused wife. That none of the evil was ‘her fault’ that she didn’t ‘jump to conclusions’ that she didn’t ‘give him a chance.’

        Many women suffer for years in the belief that they were wrong or misinterpreting. Because she had done all that mind work before she left, had gone over it during the years apart, when she saw him again he was as able to hurt her as a snowflake falling two blocks away.

        She returned home in a state of bliss because all her ‘assumptions’ were not assumptions.

    • Unfortunately, this is the experience of many women and it is a sad fact that emotional abuse eventually leads to physical abuse. Few understand this until it is too late because the emotional abuser leaves the person wondering if they are really over reacting or to blame.

      • Exactly right. Without the first steps of emotional abuse, the physical would be immediately reacted to.

    • To some point this story makes me laughed especially when I read how Trevor was making a fool of himself. Would i be right to say that he was in a competition with himself? It sounds so silly, but again it’s very unfortunate that women go through this problem so many times. That’s the reason why people are always told to attend marital counselling before they get married, that way they would know how to deal with issues that come their way in their marriage. It was a good idea that Sonia was able to know who she really was and put a stop to the emotional abuse that she was facing. I like the fact that Trevor got just what he needed in the most unsuspecting way. Men should know that when they do wrong, women can do some pretty bad stuff to them but they choose not too because they know what will work for them or against them.

      • Trevor didn’t realise that Sonia saw through him. He could have been mad of glass. He just made a clown of himself.

        To run a paper shredder at night… no one does that… esp. not when someone had to get up early. But he, in his evil did it until he realised, he has to get up even earlier…he has to drive Sonia to the airport. She can sleep in the car. He can’t.

    • Most abusive men cut their wives off from their friends and family so he can operate without witnesses. The process of domestic violence wears down the victim to the point where she doesn’t realise she is a victim.

    • No one will really know why he hates Mexicans but al i can say is, no matter what happened, even if it was a deal com bad with Mexicans there is no need to hate them all.

      This is the reason that i think he is just plain racist. He hates a whole culture and that is just one of the many. I am pretty sure he hates more cultures and has some kind of excuse as to why.

      • Trump is racist. He made no bones about that and his supporters, save for the idiots who don’t have mirrors, are racist.

        He chose Mexico to be his scape goat. Happily, he hasn’t notice Jamaica yet. He is bully. But Mexico is going to come out better; they’ve replaced the American car manufacturers with Chinese.
