I did not know those who are not members here are allowed to comment. I thought it ended with just views. Happy to hear that. It would be really nice if they saw your blog through keyword search.

yes, I found out that a few people who had replied to my posts were not from literacybase itself.
They were external users from blogger dot com or other writing sites.
Very fascinating that they can reply even without registered here

Random users come from keywords search and or searching according to the mind level search those who are new and do not know English well search most easy words writing in the google search engine.
One of the key reasons that people follow you is because they are promoting their own business or account. Also, if their account has a photo of a scantily-clad woman, they are, in 99 cases out of 100, a porn site. There are however a few woman who actually use naked photos of themselves, but I doubt that their tweets are going to be very enlightening.
The best way to tell if someone is just adding you to promote themselves is their follower to following ratio. If they are following 10,000 people and 10 people are following them, you can safely assume this is a person who adds every person under the sun, or worse, is a Twittobot. Ignore them at all costs.
This one is pretty much on the list because I do it to other people. They may have seen one funny blog post, and thought it was pretty funny.
Heck, this post will probably generate a few new followers. The problem is that these people will inevitably stop following you within a few weeks, because you’re not funny. Well I’m not. I’m mad, and I post about Twitter followers, and some people find it humorous and can’t see the seething rage that boils under the comedic surface of my words.

awesome tips, but i guess the better you location the better you earn, most of the sites or ads, pay for clients that lives in usa, canada, uk and europ , australia new zealand, cypers in general and many more countries, some dont pay for views comes from aisa , india , middle east, and africa, and some of these ads sites, py .00012, imagine when yo write wpost wasting hours and then bring people to these ads and some of them may buy thise things in teh ads, and then they pay us taht amount

That information about how to find out if the watermelon is ripe is truly useful.
We do not get pine seeds here. May be we could replace it with anyother nuts.-
Thanks, I found that aunties old tradition tips on how to choose ripe watermelons are pretty useful, don;t they?
You can replace pine nuts or other roasted nuts available.
Most nuts are large, so your could roast and coarsely chopped

I have actually got the information I wanted to know. Fruits and especially watermelons are too complicated to choose the ripe one.

dear mark
Glad that this post had given you the tips how to choose ripe watermelons, again, thanks to those aunties shopping at the supermarket

Didn’t know pine nuts were Mediterranean. The watermelon sounds so juicy and refreshing. It’s hard to think of pairing it with nuts. But this salad recipe makes me think it’s worth a try. 🙂

Dear treathyl
Yeah I didn’t know that pine nuts were from mediterranean too until I did some checking.
It may sounds odd but these pine nuts are mini, so you don’t feel the weird taste at all.
Just crunchy mix well with sweet watrmelons

This recipe sounds very delicious! I too like the information about choosing a ripe watermelon. I will have to try this out sometime.
-
It is a good recipe for the domestic ladies and they may prepare this dish for their school going children. I think it is a fine and best recipe for me also. I will try to make it at home.
The blend of nutty, milky and salty flavors makes this a purely refreshing summer salad. Feta can also be used.
The fleur de sel becomes an ingredient in its own right in a salad such as this, where its crunch and mineral taste acts as a counterpoint to the sweet juiciness of the watermelon. Use extra vinaigrette on corn on the cob, brush on meats after they come off the grill, or toss with thinly sliced refrigerated cucumbers.
Golden Balsamic Sherry Vinaigrette
1 shallot (about 1 ounce), minced
1/3 cup golden balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 cup fruity extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Few grinds of black pepper
Salad6 thin slices Serrano ham, (about 4 ounces)
3 cups watercress or upland cress leaves (about 3 cups)
6 cups 1/2-inch-cube red and yellow seedless watermelon
5 1/2 ounces ricotta salata, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
6 tablespoons pine nuts
1 teaspoon fleur de sel
For the vinaigrette: Place the shallot, vinegars, and thyme in a small bowl and allow the shallots to “bloom” (macerate) for 30 minutes.
Drizzle the olive oil into the vinegar, whisking to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper.
Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
For the salad: Place the serrano ham slices on a baking sheet, invert another baking sheet on top and bake until crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and cool.
Combine the watercress, watermelon, ricotta salata, and pine nuts in a large salad bowl.
Dress the salad starting with about 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, adding more vinaigrette as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, to lightly coat ingredients.
Divide the salad onto 6 chilled salad plates. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and top each salad with a slice of crisp serrano ham.

Talent is what differentiates one from another. Everyone is created with his/her own unique talent. It is your talent that make you in life.
When one develops his/her talent, new things begin to come in. It is an error for one to hide his talent because the early to display it the better you become what you want to be. Our talents is our pride.
Cheers! Thanks for posting such a wonderful one.

We all have gifts from God. He gave them to us for a reason. To not use them for good is to insult our Creator. It’s an act of irreverence.

I usually missed many opportunities because of my shyness. They say my voice is good but I dont have the guts to join contests mainly because I am ah introvert. Just the thought of me performing in fsont of many people makes me tremble and nervous. I really want to showcase my talent too but shyness îs taking over me. 🙁
-
Just having talents is not good enough. My husband never used his talent as a baritone range singer. Most introverts never use their talents.

If you have talent must be hidden at any cast but talent remains hidden due to fears and no self confidence in all branches of life. We’re all born with talents that set us apart from the crowd, special traits that make us who we are and shape our life stories.
Whether your talent is singing, swimming, coming up with creative business ideas or being an excellent listener, you’ve got to cultivate and celebrate what makes you unique. Realizing your talents and having the confidence to share them will help you reach your full potential and feel more satisfied in life. If you want to learn how to feel confident about what makes you special.
Sometimes our natural talents get obscured when we live by others’ expectations of what we should be good at. If you’ve been living, working or going to school in an environment in which your talents aren’t acknowledged, you might be confused as to what they even are at this point. Remember that your talents are what make you you, and they can’t be dictated by anyone else. They’re part of your natural makeup.
The power to be great at something is inside you, but that doesn’t mean you’ll excel without practice. The most talented musicians in the world spend hours practicing every single day, exploring the depths of their abilities. It’s the same for any type of talent; you have the natural ability to exercise it, but you’ll have no idea how powerful your talent can be unless you practice, practice, practice. As you start feeling out your talent, confidence in your abilities will soon follow.

Stay in constant prayer indeed. A very wise advise. Some of us find it hard to carefully observe the realty in which we live. We prefer to discuss and debate about ideas rather than to analyze particular situations. Whether we teach or work miracles, these abilities and ministries given us for the good of the community do not assure us that we are in the grace of God. Nevertheless, God sees the way we use our talents and we commit sin if we keep them to ourselves.

Okay I am also applauding you for the some very good blogs. And the many good recipes that you share are really good. I like the way you give us evry step from the ingredients and the method to the end. Now for the pressure cooker baking that’s a first never heard of it this is a first and it sounds very promising. The cake looks moist and fluffy inside, I don’t eat Apple’s as often as i should because I don’t like them, but I would take the time and try to bake this cake and see how it goes. It actually looks yummy and because I have a sweet tooth I wouldn’t mind.

Discrimination is not restricted to Racism alone. In every walk of life people are given that treatment ostracising them from taking part in whatever people who do that, consider that they are not worthy of being there.
🙁 -
You say right hat racism is a curse on earth like poverty we all must eradicate it from the whole world but if the leaders are serious in this matter and the racism producers are politicians for political benefits and nothings else.
I have read recently that In Eastern and Central Europe, incidents of racism are becoming worryingly frequent while public condemnation is often not as loud as it should be. As recently as September, we have seen deeply alarming developments within the supposedly safe and politically correct borders of the European Union.
Anti-Roma protests, many of them violent, swept across Bulgaria like wildfire in the autumn as the capital city Sofia played host to a demonstration entitled ‘Gypsy crime: a threat to the state.’ Thousands attended as the tremors of pro-nationalist feeling were felt all the way to the Black Sea. The protests and public reaction towards the Roma was naturally a cause for great concern.
The politically undecided, the ruling powers, the fair-minded people of Europe. We all have a duty to stand up and speak out against racism, whoever it offends and wherever it takes place.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon delivered this powerful statement to mark the day, highlighting the real dangers of racism and the ways in which it can be allowed to fester in society.
Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over us with all their scintillating beauty.

It is a pretty sight seeing the bonding of a child with their father. Bringing up a child is joint effort which further strengthens the family. While there are different roles for the wife and husband bringing up a child should be done together.
yes, the role of dad is equally as important as mom at home.
Unfortunately, not all dads would take attention to kids at home after finding work bringing too much stress
When I was younger, I see my dad as the best dad in the world, my idol. I looked up to him til I found out that he is cheating my mom. I hated him so much. When I entered college, I studied in Manila and he let me stayed in his sisters house where they maltreated me emotionally. I told him that they didnt treat me right but he did nothing thats why I hated him. Til now I dont talk to him whenever he take his vacation.
Having father’s bond with their kids is a wonderful feeling. Every child needs a father figure in their lives. When the father is not present in the children’s lives, the kids who lack that usually grow up being rude and unruly because they didn’t be a anyone to instill discipline in them. When the father is present in th3 child’s life th3 child will always I is that there is a figure of authority and that people should behave when he’s around. Kids have the mentality that mithers are soft and accomodating so that wouldn’t take them as seriously as they would with the rather. The one thing that I appreciate nowadays when I look around I see father’s playing the role of baby sitting in the weekends when the mum takes time out, and that’s a wonderful thing. They should look forward in doing much more than baby sitting
Yes all children want friendly father and mother so that they could their problem with their at home. I think mother and father both must be the friend if children, improves their confidence and enhances personality of the children.
Parents-children friendship can go hand in hand with a type of guidance which has positive and constructive results. Just because a parent wants to inspire the growth of their child, it doesn’t mean that the rules must be drilled into them like a sergeant does for his new army recruits.
Discipline is obviously necessary in a child’s early years because it is the parent’s mandate to ensure the child is kept safe and their well being is looked after. But once they get the basics of safety—don’t run out on the road unless you want to get hit by a car and touching the hot plate ends in a serious burn—-they are able to manage these aspects of their life themselves. This is when a true friendship can begin to properly develop.
A parent should also be above their child’s behaviors and not get sucked into the drama of their life. They should embrace them for the fact that they are children.
