    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, Envy Can Create Havoc in a Person’s Life 7 years, 10 months ago

    Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. Envy causes so many to behave in odd ways. They may become mean and be on attack. Envious ones are very destructive. The attacks are a sign that there’s something that they’re […]

    • “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
      – New Testament Scriptures

    • Often we go through feeling good about things, until we see someone with a better situation than our own. Professional athletes making millions of dollars a year have been known to aggressively protest because a teammate makes more money than they do. Everything was fine, until they eyed what another had. They fell under the spell of the green eye of envy.

      If greed has slain its thousands, envy has slain its ten thousands. It destroys friendships, creates havoc at workplaces, and generally makes life miserable. Once bitten, it’s hard to heal.
      We need to remember that everyone casts shadows on someone else, and few people sit on the mountain for very long. We long for things others have, often without counting our present blessings. Let’s examine this further:

      1. Not all blessings are suitable for all.
      As God designs our life quite specifically, He also designs the blessings we will receive. Not every blessing would be suitable for us, and may not match our calling in life. We should ponder this when we’re tempted to envy another’s blessings. One person’s blessing, might be another person’s curse.
      2. It’s not hard to misunderstand God’s plan for our life.
      When we long for the blessings that others enjoy, and even pursue them, we might stray from God’s plan for our life.

      God provides us with the gifts and life situation that helps us to fulfill His plan. Sometimes we read another person’s life into our own life, thus creating misunderstanding. We want what they have, but God may not have designed those things for us. He has a different, better plan for us.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Our Blogs are Important to Advertisers 7 years, 10 months ago

    Internet, we all know, is a knowledge hub where experts talk about every subject under the sun. And yet advertisers pay online writing sites for space in our blogs. Writing sites set rules and the bloggers need […]

    • Yes blogs are most important for advertisement and business in modern age because at this time the whole has become a global world and I am happy that all the people are connected with one another vi internet is the best plat form for the whole world people.

      If you run a small business, chances are you are wondering if blogging is worth the time and effort. The short answer is a resounding YES! Blogging on a frequent basis is a relatively easy, inexpensive way to enhance your inbound marketing efforts, drive traffic to your site, and attract more perspective customers.

      Statistics from Hubspot’s 2012 Inbound Marketing Report highlight the importance of blogging. According to the study, 57% of companies who have a blog reported acquiring a customer from their blog. In that same study, a survey of marketers revealed that 81% of businesses say that their business blog is useful to critical for their business.

      Search engines love fresh content. What better way to provide frequent content than with blog posts. By blogging consistently, you give Google and other search engines new content to index and you create opportunities to plug in those all-important keywords to increase your visibility on search engine results pages (SERPS).

      Blogging allows you to connect with your site visitors. This can be accomplished by asking your readers questions at the end of your posts to get the conversation going or by simply allowing comments and feedback. By reviewing and responding to readers’ comments, you can create a rapport with your audience, build trust, and gain valuable insight into what your customers are looking for.

      Blog posting allows you to show a personal side of your business that perspective and current customers won’t see through outbound marketing techniques. Blogging gives others a sense of the corporate standards, vision, and personality of your company.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, The Advantage of Opting for Package Holidays 7 years, 10 months ago

    Going on holidays involves a lot of planning and if it involves a foreign tour that has a lot of nitty gritty to finalise before the actual holiday. Plenty of running around be for obtaining a passport, visa, […]

    • Yes, holiday package must be chosen carefully and after too much tinkling, Planning a holiday trip is easy but implementing that plan is not that easy. While planning a trip one has to keep in mind a lot of things and has to put a lot of effort to ensure an enjoyable holiday.

      Money is certainly the biggest factor. When you are taking your family on a trip you can’t hold them back all the time when they want to buy something, eat something and go places. But you can’t allow them to make nonsense spending as well.

      You can’t force them to compromise with comfort and convenience while staying in hotels but you can’t afford to book five star hotels every venue as well. So what’s the way of ensuring a memorable holiday without putting too stress on the pocket. Well the answer is holiday packages.

      The biggest advantage is cost saving. If you try to book everything, starting from airfare to hotel room on your own, you will surely end up spending unnecessarily. If you add the individual costs, the amount will be quite high, but if you choose a holiday package the total amount, which would include cost of everything, would be far lesser

      By choosing a holiday package, you actually get rid of all activities, starting from booking flight tickets, checking out accommodation availability at hotels and booking rooms

      Holiday packages are designed specially to cover all major spots in a place so that customers get best value for their money.

      Companies that offer tour packages are completely aware of situations in a particular place, the risks and the safe zones and hence you can enjoy a safe holiday.

    • I agree with you. When we go on a conducted tour the agent’s guide is with us and that is a nice feeling of safety

    • Indeed, package holidays are the way to go and can benefit in making us more planned in our Holidays.

    • I always go for self planned holidays, not packaged ones. The packaged holidays are for tourists not for travelers 🙂

      The self planned holidays gives me a lot flexibility to avoid crowd, get economic travel tickets and lodging. Most importantly you can plan your way , destinations of your choice. This is possible with so much of travel reviews and experiences available on the internet, travel sites, apps etc.

    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, Not Every Situation Deserves Attention 7 years, 10 months ago

    There’s no need to address everything. Somethings don’t need attention. For instance if a group of people are behaving disorderly and projecting hatefulness and insults then we can choose to ignore. Giving […]

    • Yes, every situation does not deserve attention is a right but attention must be according to situation. I think that Is there a correct way to handle conflict? What are the effects of poor conflict management?

      Conflict in the workplace might be inevitable, as employees have different personalities, goals, and opinions. Learning how to handle conflict efficiently is the key to preventing it from hindering employees’ professional growth.Conflict resolution is only a five-step process:

      The more information you have about the cause of the conflict, the more easily you can help to resolve it. To get the information you need, use a series of questions to identify the cause, like, “When did you feel upset?” “Do you see a relationship between that and this incident?” “How did this incident begin?”

      After getting each party’s viewpoint on the conflict, the next step is to get each to identify how the situation could be changed. Again, question the parties to solicit their ideas: “How can you make things better between you?”

      As mediator, you have to be an active listener, aware of every verbal nuance, as well as a good reader of body language.

      Just listen. You want to get the disputants to stop fighting and start cooperating, and that means steering the discussion away from finger pointing and toward ways of resolving the conflict.

      The mediator needs to get the two parties to shake hands and agree to one of the alternatives identified in Step 4. Some mediators go as far as to write up a contract in which actions and time frames are specified. However,

      it might be sufficient to meet with the individuals and have them answer these questions: “What action plans will you both put in place to prevent conflicts from arising in the future?” and “What will you do if problems arise in the future?”

      This mediation process works between groups as well as individuals.

    • Time is precious and one must be very frugal in tis connection. We are not supposed to waste our time in useless activities. It would be a better idea to ignore some events, events that are not related to us in anyway.

      But there are some situation that do need our attention.

    • For me, every situation at risk or not needs attention for if not, we cannot solve a conflict or settle some disputes.No matter how a situation big or small, we have to take concern.There are so many reasons why take focus on an issue or situation even if it is all about attack by terrorists far from your sight. There is nothing to share about to young children someday if a situation you ignored would come along after many years.

    • Or as I used to hear the old folks say when I was growing up: “Child! God did not die and live you in charge. So just back off and let Him do His job. He can the handle the world better than you anyway!” 🙂

      I get it. Focus on the priorities. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Mackerels and Sardines a Great Source of Omega 3 7 years, 10 months ago

    With knowledge at our disposal – thanks to the Internet – we are able to take better care of our health. Be it the kind of exercise we need to go for or the type of food we need to eat we are wiser in our ways. H […]

    • We must add fish to our diet. We have fourteen meals per week, and two out of fourteen meals must have fish. In my opinion, ignoring fish meet is not a better idea.

    • We must eat sea foods to make our health better but a few people know the importance of fish in eating. Omega-3 fatty acids have all sorts of benefits for your body and brain.

      Many mainstream health organizations recommend a minimum of 250-500 mg of omega-3 per day for healthy adults (1, 2, 3).

      You can get high amounts of omega-3 fats from fatty fish, algae and several high-fat plant foods.

      Here is a list of 12 foods that are very high in omega-3.

      Mackerel are small, fatty fish.

      In Western countries, they are commonly smoked and eaten as whole fillets at breakfast.

      They are incredibly rich in nutrients, and a 3.5 oz (100 g) piece of mackerel provides 200% of the RDI for vitamin B12 and 100% for selenium (4).

      On top of that, these fish are quite tasty yet require almost no preparation.

      Omega-3 content: 4107 mg in one piece, or 5134 mg per 100 grams (3.5 oz).

      Cod liver oil is more of a supplement than a food.

      As the name implies, it is oil that is extracted from the livers of cod fish.

      Not only is this oil high in omega-3 fatty acids, it is also loaded with vitamin D (338% of the RDI) and vitamin A (270% of the RDI) (11).

      Taking just a single tablespoon of cod liver oil therefore more than satisfies your need for three incredibly important nutrients.

      However, definitely don’t take more than a tablespoon, because too much vitamin A can be harmful.

      Omega-3 content: 2664 mg in a single tablespoon.

      Herring is a medium-sized oily fish. It is often cold-smoked or precooked, and then sold as a canned snack.

      Smoked herring is a popular breakfast food in countries like England, where it is served with eggs and called kippers.

      A standard smoked fillet contains almost 100% of the RDI for vitamin D and selenium, and 50% of the RDI for B12 (12).

      Omega-3 content: 3181 mg per fillet, or 1729 mg per 100 grams (3.5 oz).

    Preiti came in our life when we least expected it. We had decided to give ourselves a respite for a while after we had lost our pets at different times but in walks Preiti on her own. She was tiny, may be just a […]

    • Yes, if you have a tamed pet it brings joys for the owner in the real sense because pets are just like child if you tame them with your own hands. People really and truly love their dogs. Some people even treat these little fur balls as though they are children.

      Recently, there’s been a debate in our house about whether to get a dog. There are many things to think about, especially being an entrepreneur and seemingly always on the go. However, many of my entrepreneur friends have dogs and have encouraged me to consider it.

      excitement and sheer glee are contagious. As an entrepreneur, enveloping yourself in those emotions reinforces that it is okay to be passionate and celebrate life and people along the way. Even better, treat or no treat, your dog is that cheerleader who is going to love you no matter what you can or cannot do with your startup at that moment.

      If you have a dog, cat, bird, hamster, bunny, gerbil, mouse, snake, turtle, lizard, or any kind of fish, then you should check us out. We’re convenient to most communities west of Boston and try to make sure that you can get what you need when you need it. We enjoy visits from any pet and hope you will join yours sometime soon.

    • Do you have a place where you keep pets? That is what I understood by reading your comment.

    • That is quite a number 🙂 We had a few earlier but now Preiti is getting all the attention. There are stray cats that we feed.

    • I have beautiful place in my house for pets because I love my pets as flying pigeons and parrots and partridges. I like them most. Everyone knows that kids love animals. A quick safari through your child’s bedroom will remind you just how densely imaginary critters populate the storybooks, movies, music, toys, decor, and clothes of childhood.

      In real life, the amount of money we spend on our pets has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, rising to more than $38 billion, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association.

      While book groups are the rage among her mother’s friends, Natalie has her own reading tribe: We often find her curled up in her bed or lying in a den of blankets in a quiet nook of the house, reading to one or more of her cats. She pets them as she reads, stops to show them pictures and ask them questions. She even reassures them during scary parts of the story.

      According to a study by Dennis Ownby, MD, a pediatrician and head of the allergy and immunology department of the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta, having multiple pets actually decreases a child’s risk of developing certain allergies. His research tracked a group of 474 babies from birth to about age 7. He found that the children who were exposed to two or more dogs or cats as babies were less than half as likely to develop common allergies as kids who had no pets in the home.

      Children who had animals had fewer positive skin tests to indoor allergens — like pet and dust-mite allergens — and also to outdoor allergens such as ragweed and grass. Other studies have suggested that an early exposure to pets may decrease a child’s risk of developing asthma.

    • Yes. It was a shock when one day I realized that one of our presidents did not know how to use a word processor. Imagine that. It was a joy when one of my friends told me his kids gave him the Bible in a digital format as a gift. He was an elder in the church. I thought to myself: Does he know how to use it?? If you can write with a pencil, you can use a computer. Although … when it comes to cell phones, iPhones, etc. … I ask my kids to make the phone calls for me. If they are not around I might even ask my grandchild to help me out. 🙂 Hey! My husband is much worse. We could never get him to check his eMails. We gave up! 🙂

      • Having known you here for a while I just cannot believe that you need assistance with your cell phones. I am sure if you apply your mind just a bit you will fly.

        • It’s not my mind that’s resisting. It’s my eyes. The cell phones really make me strain to see things. A laptop is much easier and even that wearies my eyes. I wear reading glasses. My husband tells me to go see an eye doctor and get prescription glasses. I keep telling him I will but I keep putting it off. 🙂

          • Yes ofcourse. I too prefer the big screen. I in fact use the desktop. Sadly these days everything is transferred to mobile such as those Apps which I just hate. Soon India will be having money transactions through mobiles. I only hope we will have the facility to do it through our computers.

            • I too am not happy with the switch to “all things mobile”. But there are some things we have to learn to live with. Especially in the wonderful world of technology. The “mobile wave” is one of those things. 🙂

    • By the 1970s, with the development of the Internet by the United States Department of Defense and the subsequent adoption of personal computers a decade later, the Information or Digital Revolution was underway.

      More technological changes, such as the development of fiber optic cables and faster microprocessors, accelerated the transmission and processing of information. The World Wide Web, used initially by companies as an electronic billboard for their products and services, morphed into an interactive consumer exchange for goods and information.

      Electronic mail (email ), which permitted near-instant exchange of information, was widely adopted as the primary platform for workplace and personal communications. The digitization of information has had a profound impact on traditional media businesses, such as book publishing, the music industry and more recently the major television and cable networks.

      As information is increasingly described in digital form, businesses across many industries have sharpened their focus on how to capitalize on the Information Age.

    • It is your idea that every bird is welcomed except the kite why kite is also a beautiful bird looks good while flying and preying. But I think that The lilting Swallow-tailed Kite has been called “the coolest bird on the planet.” With its deeply forked tail and bold black-and-white plumage, it is unmistakable in the summer skies above swamps of the Southeast.

      Flying with barely a wingbeat and maneuvering with twists of its incredible tail, it chases dragonflies or plucks frogs, lizards, snakes, and nestling birds from tree branches. After rearing its young in a treetop nest, the kite migrates to wintering grounds in South America.

      Swallow-tailed Kites are large but slender and buoyant raptors. They have long, narrow, pointed wings, slim bodies, and a very long, deeply forked tail. The bill is small and sharply hooked.

      These birds are creatures of the air, spending most of their day aloft and rarely flapping their wings. They tend to circle fairly low over trees as they hunt for small animals in the branches. At times they soar very high in the sky, almost at the limits of vision. During migration they may form large flocks.

      Look for Swallow-tailed Kites over swamps, marshes, and large rivers of the southeastern U.S., particularly in Florida. At the end of summer, all the Swallow-tailed Kites in the U.S. leave and migrate south to South America.

    • It is a very nice article providing memorable guides and charm of your visit of Germany and the description of cuckoo clock is fascination for me and first time I hear this word in my life.

      I think that A cuckoo clock is a typically pendulum-regulated clock that strikes the hours with a sound like a common cuckoo’s call and has an automaton cuckoo bird that moves with each note. Some move their wings, open/close the beak while leaning forward, whereas others only the bird’s body is leaned forward.

      Nowadays cuckoo clocks are manufactured inspired by contemporary decorative styles as well. These modern timekeepers are characterized by its functional, schematic and minimalist aesthetic.

      Rombach und Haas became the first Black Forest clock manufacturer which introduced this new generation of timepieces in 2006, producing a model conceived by Tobias Reischle.

      Then in 2008 they started its own creations, thanks to the initiative of both Conny Haas and the company’s general manager Ingolf Haas. Their range includes minimalist, industrial, and naturalist designs, as well as intricate fretwork and hand-painted pieces.
