I am a newbie here. I am doing all blog jobs. So if I I feel exhausted I generally take rest instead of an unnecessary comment on anybody. The site as per my observation is good. Aout the payment,I do not know. I observed one thing that for a blog paying 1 cent is somewhat discouraging. People prepare, do research and then only post something. There is a lot of effort involved in posting a blog. The payment may be as per the quality, importance, and quantity of the information in the blog

There should also be a facility to upload videos. Most of my blogs are having videos. But I am unable to upload a video. As such I am forced to go for other images etc.,

The site is doing some effort. There is nothing wrong in encouraging a site like literacy base.

@sivasubrahmanyam shatdarsanam I am not aware if anyone gets just a cent for a blog. the normally rate is 15 cents and above. Yes. Sometimes they pay less. And as for videos you can post youtube links of your videos.

It is the tendency of members to leave one site and go where they get more benefit. One should understand that the community keeps the site alive and if we do not contribute the site will go down. Site depends on the comunity and the community depends on the site. Both have to play their role.

I have started writing here recently though i have been a member for a long time. I must say, it is one of the better paying sites but Literacy Base should also feature the blogs more prominently on homepage. At the moment, only 5 are shown and if you have set the screen on a larger font, even those are not visible. Otherwise, I am really enjoying writing here.

Checking out new sites is not a bad idea but Literacy Base is a good site to write on as we can write meaningful articles here which generates good discussions and comments. There are multiple ways of earning and I love the fact that our comments earn us money.

Did I read it right? The member who is not satisfied by his participation for lack of interest and quality is likely to be the great enemy of the site. It is too subjective to say that a certain site is “tried and tested” when he or she has not benefited much from the said site. I am not saying this but this is what really happening – once the site delays in paying its users/members and eventually stops. Those who give all the praises in the world would also be the one who condemns and curses the site which once it gives them “bread and butter”.

No harm or insult to express for this is my personal experience.

@maruto 100 As President Kennedy said let us not see whst the site is doind for us but what we can do for the site. If the community lets the site down that will be the end of the site I know tinycent is aa very tempting site but we should do justice to LB as it is a stable site and it is depending on us for its survival. Have you seen that there are not many Ads on LB?

I’m always inspired every time I read this kind of article. Of course the best thing for a writing site is for them to pay us (though I have not yet experience this). But more than that is how we enjoy the site. At least we have an ease here. We can relate to every story being posted.

Well said, I haven’t stayed here on this site for long but am trying to keep up. It’s not easy trying to earn here it’s tough but that doesn’t mean that we quit we should keep the traffic flowing to keep the site going. Maybe people are finding it hard to keep up because it takes quite some time before one can reach the minimum payout. I must say if you are not patient it’s hard to stay on this site. Most people want to earn quick money fast.

When they see greener pastures elsewhere they go there. And that is how an existing site collapses.

Exhibiting something in a grand and beautiful manner is an Art. The artifacts add beauty to the garden and they are also easy to maintain. Therefore, in many gardens, we are seeing artifacts. We are also seeing benches beautifully decorated and designed. But the maintenance aspect should never be neglected. Proper maintenance and cleanliness of the artifacts are very important. AT the same time the visitor should feel responsibility and should make every effort to keep the garden clean and beautiful.

Nice first of all I like the lawns in that picture that look really nice. I do agree with you that you don’t need gardens alone to bring out the good of your garden. I like the tips that you have listed above. The lights are a good way of creating a beautiful garden. I have seen many people embracing the idea of having a long in the garden and a small waterfall and that makes the whole place look bright and relaxing.this are some really good ideas when I buy my own house someday I will probably take some of these ideas with me.

@sivasubrahmanyam shatdarsanam It is understood if maintenance is missing then there should be no garden at all.

Most gardeners will make time to take care of those artifacts.

Countless idea to make a beautiful garden in the front and back yard of our home.I love gardening and that include the flowering plants, ornamental and even the vegetable that can look so great when done and manage in creative way.

With your ideas to pick, I think we can always make a beautiful and attractive view of our house. Not to mention the budget because we can always innovate and find ways to make it better even when we have small budget.

yes. It is right to keep a medical record of the history relating to one’s own health. It may perhaps be not appropriate to find out fault with Doctors alone. The mistake lies with the patient also. He should careful note down the treatment he had along with the date keeping copies of the prescriptions (if the originals are not with you).

Not all cases of headache will be referred for doctors for examination and tests. He sees the age, conditon, B.P. and sugar etc., of a patients and if he assumes that the headache may be due to any other problem and needs some detailed examination then only he refers for further examinations and call for reports. If the situation calls for a specialist he refers the patient to a specialist.

Soon after the reports are examined by a Doctor it is for the patient to collect and keep a record of it. In case of necessity he can show these reports to another doctor if he asks for them.

No doubt, there are instances where the Doctors are doing business with the organs of a Human Body. But the cases are a few in number and we can not apply this illegal activity to the entire professionals in a sweeping manner.

Yes it is good to keep medical records. It helps a lot and what you have said is very true. Nowadays I have come to realize that many doctors are becoming very ignorant of their patients diagnosis. Others don’t even take the time to talk to their patients to know the little details about their medical history thereby giving wrong diagnosis to diseases or illnesses which can be very dangerous and damaging to the patients body. But most doctors nowadays look at the symptoms one has and start giving medication even without knowing if there are allergies that may occur with the medicines that they give out. I feel that doctors don’t adhere to the doctors rule anymore to take people’s lives seriously. And it needs to be addressed

Very useful advice. Many people are very careless about their medical records and reports. Nowadays there are many medicines that can cause adverse reactions and also affect other organs so one specialist should always know what the orher doctors have recommended before.

Medical malpractice can always be avoided if we keep records of our medical history. Its true that some doctors do not care to know the history of the illness of the patients, all they do is to resort to their own test which don’t ask the history. To avoid that, we patients should tell these doctors that our concerns are our life and let them know it is not a lousy job for them.

I very much agree. Keeping your own medical record is appropriate and can help in avoiding a misdiagnosis or affect your own health. I, for one have not noted down all my ailments and their dates which I should have. For example, I vaguely remember that I had my tubal ligation if I remember well at age 24 but I cannot swear to it. The hospital, of course has kept that record but even in this day and age, it is hard to get hospital to coordinate their records for the same patient. But I will, from now on, jot down all my ailments in a diary type folder to be later presented to a doctor if need be.

Looking good. I have seen some software using which we can do almost similar thing. But I have never tried it for youtube for sure. Is it like we can make such slide show directly using youtube without any software? I mean integrated software on youtube itself. If yes then it is really unique feature for sure. Never tried it out though, but will check it out. Thanks.

@naruto 100 You must have a youtube account and once you do that you will find their slideshow software there.You just have to click on upload and choose that feature. You do not have to download anything

lots of things to do and that software will really help us in our photos to make a good movie. But I am not really into this kind of stuff, I am just a viewer and just giving some views to the maker.

Party times are great times. Games also liven up parties. What with funfare and feeling good. Food is also great.

Birthday parties are the ones I like best. The eating of the birthday cake after blowing candles and the happy birthday song is the best.

What I do not like in parties is ending late,the clean up and hangover. At times we become sick due to overeating.

Charity is not recommended in Christianity. It’s required, as you say it is also required in Islam. If you say you’re a faithful Christian and don’t practice charity, you’re a hypocrite. No IFs, ANDs or BUTs. You could even be poor but still have the ability to show some form of charity to another person, be they rich or poor. Faith, hope and charity (love). The greatest gift is love or charity. The words both mean the same in the scriptures. In the New Testament when the word hypocrite is mentioned, there’s a warning attached to it. WOE! Acts of charity are not optional for anyone who professes to be a Christian.

I totally agree with the content. This is where the main foundation of Islam is very very strong. It is this attitude that can make the flow a continuous one.

Giving charity is one of the best principles in Islam. Give as much in charity to the others who are in need. Given them alms as food, a house for a homeless, knowledge in the form of donation or money to study. Whatever you give it becomes the ten fold

All the Mughal Emperors have strictly followed the above principle. They donated lands to the educated to feed their families and make things easy for them to continue their education. They donated lands event to the Hindus (called by the term Inam Land). The great Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb has excelled himself in following this principle. He lives with what he was getting by selling the caps stitched by him. Even Akar is not a match for him in this respect.

The wealth they were getting was being distributed among the poor and needy and only 1/5 (pls. correct if I am wrong) was retained by the Emperor.

The principle clearly mentions and talks about the charity but does not and nowhere states that this should be only to the Muslim. This is exactly here we are deviating from the principle. We are donating only to the Muslims. Of course, there may be several reasons, which is not a place here to discuss. The Madarasas are meant for Muslims only.
Some uneducated Muslims during festivals give charity to the Muslim Organizations only. What they understand is the charity is meant for the Muslim only. This tendency is changing slowly on account of the interference and interaction of the educated.

I have visited Baba Sharfuddin Darga in Penukonda. The interesting fact I noticed is that most of the devotees were Hindus only. They came along with their wives and were going inside. Their wives were sitting outside the Sanctorum only, as it is a practice not to allow a lady inside similar to in some of the Hindu Temples.

I personally donate 2 pairs of clothes to Muslims during the great festival Ramadan.I leave the decision of selection to the Almighty only.

The emphasis should be more on humanism than on Religion.

God said: I am going to judge you according to your deeds. Yes, though poor you can show show some charitable works like visiting the sick in the hospital, like visiting in prison and make some counseling to the prisoners. I am not wealthy, but every Christmas I am feeding some hungry children. I also give donations every time there is flood in my country. What a happy feeling to serve our humanity.How nice to share and show our kindness to the needy.Amen.

I feel abundantly blessed for having had this opportunity to share my faith with you.

Yes, giving charity to the poor is the continuous goodness on earth even after death it remains continues on earth and will remain n earth till the Day of Judgement. We made them (Abraham and his sons) imams who guided in accordance with our commandments, and we taught them how to work righteousness, and how to observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and the obligatory charity (Zakat). To us, they were devoted worshipers.

[2:215] “They ask you about giving: say, “The charity you give shall go to the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the traveling alien.” Any good you do, God is fully aware thereof.”

[9:60] Charities(Sadaqaat) shall go to the poor, the needy, the workers who collect them, the new converts, to free the slaves, to those burdened by sudden expenses, in the cause of Allah, and to the traveling alien. Such is GOD’s commandment. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.

[2:3] who believe in the unseen, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and from our provisions to them, they give to charity.

[2:110] You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat). Any good you send forth on behalf of your souls, you will find it at Allah. Allah is seer of everything you do.

I don’t own my home or live in a house but have seen residences with a bird bath or a bird bath. They are wonderful! The closest I come to enjoying birds is sprinkling some bread crumbs on the ground and waiting at a distance to see if they come to the feast! 🙂

Yes, birds bath at home is must because they bath like us everyday or as they like and I think it is most important for all of us to create birds bath at homes and gardens.

I believe that a birdbath is one of the best additions you can make to the garden, for a number of reasons. But before I go into those, hear me roar: Get rid of your birdfeeder!

That’s right. Get rid of your birdfeeder and instead strive to make your whole garden a natural birdfeeder, with the food-rich habitat that birds will seek out on their own; just add water. Sure, birdfeeders attract lots of interesting birds, but at what price? Birdfeeders also attract squirrels, raccoons, and, in my town, bears. Who needs that?

Certainly not the birds. Keeping a birdfeeder stocked with seeds for birds to squabble over reminds me of how too much of America eats: with fast food so cheap and so universally accessible that people sit around, and worse, drive around, eating junk food as a pastime, with frightening results. Do you really want to do that to birds?

Learned about this flower when I was a very young child. They grow abundantly in Miami, Florida. They are one of my favorite flowers. You can top that gorgeous color! 🙂
