    It is almost, but not really funny, that after 26 years of existence, the same tricks that newbies fell for in 1990 are working in 2016.

    • Yes, different people have different views about one thing but we must try to know what is reality working behind it. The profiles of online dating scammers can exhibit some clear signs that something is off—you just need to know what to look for. Most scammers choose victims that are older than they are, for example, so if someone who is significantly younger than you says that they’re interested, it could be cause for concern. Of course, just because someone is younger doesn’t mean that they’re a scammer; it’s just something to keep in mind.

      Scammers also often list themselves as widowed (especially with a child), self-employed, or working overseas. They might also say that they live near you, but that they’re away; they could be in another country on a trip or for work, but they’ll almost certainly be somewhere far away where you can’t meet them.

      Scammers are good at being charming and saying all the right things—and they start it fast. They have a lot of victims to get through, so they’re going to try to move things along as quickly as possible. They’ll hit you with the full force of their charm; they’ll say sweet things, compliment you a lot, and talk about how perfect you are for each other within the first couple weeks.

      Think about if you would find it strange for someone to be acting like this if you just met in real life. If someone was expressing over-the-top love and passion within a couple weeks, you’d be worried.

    Exactly.   The time wasted kills the item… so putting it somewhere else and 3 days later hearing it was rejected…  That really isn’t good enough.

    Let me be brutally frank;  when moderation of a post is over 24 hours there is a real problem.   Most moderated sites do not cause a delay of more than 2 hours in most cases, as they have enough mods in enough time zones so as to insure that topical items don’t wind up being published elsewhere.

    The delay is orchestrated to slow down the r…[Read more]

    kaylar wrote a new post, The Significance of Toilet Training 8 years, 3 months ago

    In ancient days,  before disposable diapers,  parents would begin toilet training as soon as a child could sit.

    It was not strange to see a three month old seated on a potty while the mother or other care g […]

    • This is indeed is good research. Never knew about the impact toilet training could have on a child. But it takes time for the mother to get that done.
      My neighbour’s little fellow took very long. He would climb up on a stool, open the cupboard and pull out pampers and put them on himself and would be quite happy. (lol)

      • Imagine a child of that age, still sitting in his own filth. A child who can diaper himself but can’t control his bowels.

        It’s just lazy feral parenting.

    • In psychology, Sigmund Freud talked something about what he calls the anal phase. Its the time when a child becomes really aggressive. However, it is also the time when children are taught to be toilet trained. If they are trained during this period, they will enjoy holding their emotions, thoughts and everything that wants to get out from their minds when they get older. But they will enjoy releasing those thoughts if they were not trained at all.

      • It is called discipline. That one can control themselves. When a little baby has the ‘power’ of his bowels he can have the power over his mouth. The self-awareness is vital

    It shouldn’t.  In past, legitimate sites paid automatically.  If you had 38c or $28.00 at the end of the month, you got it.  The site owners were honest.  They didn’t need to dip into your coin.  They didn’t need to rob Peter to pay Paul.   They had no ‘threshold’ because they were honest.

    It is not an accident.  It is not overworked Mods.  It is the fact you write quality hence YOU have to be slowed down.  They must get a ream of quality posts so that they can make $$$.   People will come here, read you… but you won’t get any $$$   next month you may get some coin for what you wrote in May or June.  If the site exists in September.

    On every site there are those who are paid, always paid,  You recall good old Bubblews.  Then there are those who are sacrificed.  They may get 100k views for a post, but they get no $$

    It is the basic scam paradigm.

    There is no mystery that LB has no money.   To slow down a writer’s reaching the ‘threshold’ allows them to gain the usage of an item they are not paying for.

    For example;  You join May 1.   You write and write, and by the 10th you have $2.00.   You write and write but by June 10 you have $9.76.   You write and write and by July 10 you have $11.…[Read more]

    To prevent users from reaching the ‘redemption’ the moderators hold back items to keep the writer below the pay out.   There is no limit on how many items you can submit a day, but depending on how badly Literacy Base is doing financially,  that is how many will be published.

    You may have broken a book into Chapters and published them on a writing site, or may cut and […]

    • Ebooks are an expanding market and thanks to book retailers like Amazon, B&N, and Kobo; they allow you to upload your finished book onto the site to sell.

    • Ebook publishing is easy as you say but I have not make its experience practically you have not written how to public an ebook and what its benefits we shall obtain.

      Typically, an eBook reader hand-held device weighs from about twenty-two ounces to three or four pounds and can store from four thousand to over half a million pages of text and graphics. A popular feature is its back-lit screen (which makes reading in the dark possible).

      Some eBooks can be downloaded for free or at reduced cost, however, prices for many eBooks – especially bestsellers – are similar to those of hardcover books, and are sometimes higher. Most eBooks at Barnes and Noble, for example, are comparable in price to their traditional print versions.

      • There are a number of e book publishing sites with their own rules and requirements. I can’t give a general picture. One need merely do a search.

    • Scuba beach is famous for diving all over the world because here diving is more dangerous than place in the world due to deep water and rock debris under water of blue color. People come here for diving with family and friends.

      If some has money and time he must go to visit Scuba beach to enjoy its diving I think that Boracay is world famous for its beautiful white-sand beaches and its water activities, particularly scuba diving. Boracay is full of beautiful coral reefs and abundant with fish life; enjoyable to both new and experienced divers.
      There are around 30 dive sites around Boracay accessible by a short boat ride. Most of these dive sites are accessible in high season on the west side of the island, this is typically between October and May. During low season; June to September, the east side of the island opens up and still offers some good dive sites like Laguna de Boracay, where a local Sea Turtle is often sighted.

      If you have never tried scuba diving before and you would like to give it a try, why not check out our Introduction diving experience or Open Water certification should you want to become a certified diver. For new divers, dive sites like Angol Point, Coral Gardens and Laguna de Boracay offer a great introduction to diving with colourful reef life and stunning coral providing home to parrot fishes, damsel fishes, butterfly fishes and turtles. These dive sites are also favourites of experienced divers who like to find macro life, moray eels and other rare creatures in deeper waters.
