Your write up is well understood.I get worried over people who use other people’s work without acknowledging them.However,giving honour to whom it is due is discipline and good knowledge.
-
When you quote someone, and give attribution, it is not plagiarism. Saying; “This Book was written by…” is surely not you taking credit so is totally legal.

Very well written my friend.
I must say, I am not into writing posts that have facts because that indeed needs some facts that are easy to read on the internet. Though I know copying them would be plagiarizing. I might get some facts but give credit to where I get it and that’s not plagiarizing.
As to pictures, I suppose those freely displayed on google and credit google for it are free for use pictures?
Thank you for clearly explaining about these things.
-
It is perfectly legal to use facts found anywhere as long as you admit it. If I am quoting CNN or a reporter, or a definition, I give the attribution which immediately sidesteps the issue.

I have heard a lot about South Africa and you post further increased my interest.It is for sure my next travel destination.
-
Just keep dreaming and one day it will be a reality
-
Africa is not in my bucket list because I am afraid of those wild animals they show in those discovery channels.
Certainly, I would like to be near a place where there are wild animals specially during evenings.
Though, I would also like to see those other animals that are not in any of the zoos here in the Philippines.
I have seen a show where they ride a closed van and a tiger went into the van’s roof. Oh, that surely will give me a real scare. I am a very nervous person that’s why this kind of adventure is not for me.
I would just be contented in seeing these animals at the internet. 🙂
-
You do not have to opt for those safari rides at all. Not all have a fascination for wildlife and you could be one of them.

You mention that the condition is treatable, how is it treated?
-
Copied from psychological journal….
The most frequently used form of therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and systematic desensitization or exposure therapy. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 75% of people with specific phobias overcome their fears through cognitive-behavioral therapy.
In desensitization or exposure therapy, you are exposed in a safe and controlled way to the object or situation you fear. The most commonly used exposure therapy involves gradual encounters with the fear-producing object, first in the imagination and then in reality. Through repeated experiences facing your fear, you begin to realize that the situation, while possibly unpleasant, is not harmful. With each exposure, you feel an increasing sense of control over your phobia. This sense of control over the situation and yourself is the most important benefit of exposure therapy. As you become desensitized to your fear, you no longer react with uncontrollable panic when confronted by it.
Relaxation and stress relief techniques are frequently an accompaniment to other therapeutic approaches. Relaxation techniques may include things like specific ways of breathing, muscle relaxation training, guided mental imagery, or soothing self-talk.
Medication can also be used in the treatment of monophobia. Drugs do not “cure” a fear of being alone or any other phobia, but they can temporarily suppress the symptoms through chemical interaction.

Sites such as this benefit with long posts as the Ads linger on.
-
That is a myth. That is why so many sites demanded 2k words. They thought the longer item would prove the site was ‘serious’. What happens, and you know it for yourself, is that you write an article, it is ‘too short’ you go back and start stuffing words. You’ve said everything you need to in 287 words. But you have to stuff in more. And unless you actually can find another clause that is necessary… blah blah
-

I think it is understandable that in an online earning site, we are there to earn. Thus, we are in a hurry to be able to post and earn more by the comment it would get.
Thus, we know that our time to read is limited, so we also try to make our posts shorter, to also give way for us to be able to read and comment to friend’s posts.
However, in a writing site such as here, there is a minimum number of words for a post to be approved to be published. Thus, I see a lot who are sometimes just beating around the bush just to meet the minimum number of words. I hate to say it, but they are rubbish posts.
Although, some would really go detail by detail, so much so that one would think, is this copied from anywhere and would be checked by Admin if they really are.
So here, you can sense if a post is just being made just to conform to having the minimum number of words. You have just read a few paragraphs but you already know what is being pointed out, because sometimes as go on reading , the writer seems to be already drifting.
Funny, but this is true to some posts here. Can we not just post shorter but substantive posts. If a post needs explanation , then a long post will do.
-
We are on the exact same page… that is how I feel. I write and try to get to the point. The best writers do that… so if you want to know what monophobia is and do a search you DON’T WANT TO READ…
“People all over the world suffer from Monophobia. You probably know people who suffer from Monophobia. Yet, Monophobia is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of…. (blah blah blah)
You want to Read:
Monophobia is the fear of being alone and can make a person feel insecure, anxious and depressed.

I think it is good to write as short as possible.The only good fact is that the message and reason of the write up should be made as clear as possible.There is no crime in writing more words.This may either be for more clearance or emphasis.
-
The modern style is to be as quick as possible. Get to the point as sharp as one can and avoid the ‘very’ and other wasteful modifiers. Although 300 words here is not inordinately long, the fact is that when one finishes their sharp article and has to add 30 or 40 words… they rarely contribute.

Yes, that’s a lost opportunity indeed. However, that person shOuld also consider, that no one knows that he /she is coming. That’s how it should be.
Because if the celebrity could have informed that he/she will be coming, then for sure that employee will wait even if it means forgoing of his/her lunch and do it once the given time to arrive has lapsed and no one came.
And in this case, the person who was asked as to where the employee is should be responsible enough, to call the said employee if it is a V.I.P who has come to speak with him/her.
-
In many cases, one doesn’t know that a special visitor is coming. No one knew Barack Obama would want to go to the Bob Marley museum. It wasn’t until he had landed, checked into the hotel, that the calls were made and those who were there were there, and those who weren’t were not.
Rem. He couldn’t advertise where he was going too far in advance for security reasons.

Yes, they really do.
-
And I am sure people are still babbling away… chatting their personal business for all to hear.
-
-
I think when we are to speak in a phone, we have to make our voice modulated for others not to hear. It is not a good manner to be talking loudly on the phone, because you might be diturbing other people when you do that.
And as to spying using the phone, I think it will take the government first to ask permission to hack somebody’s conversation when it is of utmost security risk that they are trying to prevent.
-
Most people talk so loudly and disturbingly as if they don’t realise they are being heard. Gov. doesn’t ask permission. The information is there. They just tap in.

I think in the countries like India, managing the trees is an Art, a social activity, a welfare activity. Every care needs to be taken for the maintenance of tree. The technology mentioned in the blog is available not in all countries. Only a few countries can afford to adopt this technology.
-
When ISRO can send 104 satellites what is some technology to manage full grown trees (lol)
-
-
Many trees have been killed and uprooted here to give way to massive housing and commercialization of agricultural land. It’s sad to see them go little by little. There are local mandates but overall it does nothing to conserve much of what we used to have.
-
When a strong typhoon hit our province, the big and old mango tree beside the garage turned into a snack house, was uprooted by the strong wind. Good thing, it didn’t hit any part of our house since it is far from it. Though it damaged the roof of the eatery and my sister had it repaired.
Going back to the old mango tree, my father hired two men to saw the big trunk of the old mango and had them made into just round stubs of trunk and now a nice ornament by the lawn.
Then they carefully cut the rest and had it as woods for cooking at our dirty kitchen.
Big trees need the expertise of persons who are into cutting trees, lest they will just be cut into woods to be used for cooking and it will be a waste of the beautiful craft that can be made from it.

I really wonder why people fear to live alone. This is really a boon to be alone. There are many advantages of living alone. This is a test for someone to equip themselves for their future success without any disturbance or diversion of attention.
This should be practiced by all young people to be alone without any fear. This is a warmup match before taking up the real one in life. A writer can never be a writer without observing the people. A scientist can not come out with any new theory unless he lives alone and throws his mind to the applications and reading the books.
A footballer can not play his game unless he sits and plans the strategy for himself while dealing with so many attackers. He can not plan how to penetrate and tore the defense of the opponents in the match.
I think this is only a temporary weakness of the people to be afraid of living alone.But,once they practice it is not a major problem for anybody.-
I fully agree with you. It is so important to be able to function by one’s self. Yet, today, so many people seem terrified of it.

Indeed there are a lot of people like that. They just have to have somebody in their company.
I am proud of myself because I learned how to be by myself most of the time. Even at the office, since I am alone in our office room most of the time, because our boss seldom takes her office here but instead upstairs in the affiliates’ office, I learned how to enjoy my own company.
I would always switch on my cell phone’s radio to FM stations where deejays would be in twos and be making jokes in between playing of music. That way, I feel that I am not alone. I laugh at their jokes even while I am alone in the room.
In shopping, I love doing it alone. That’s because I can go on fitting clothes for the whole day, without being bothered that my companion is already getting tired. I eat when I am tired already and would continue fitting and shopping for clothes and shoes and bags.
My husband knows that, because I don’t like bringing him when I am shopping for myself, since he complains it takes me so long to choose what I have to buy.
I love my company. Though of course, I have lots of friends too.
-
I don’t mind being alone. I do like shopping alone so as not to inconvenience anyone. I like to make my own food … I seem to like pepper more than others. I am amazed by people who hate to be ‘alone’.

A good discussion. Everyone should learn how to be stayed with own self or home alone. It’s an important task for everyone.
We live, walk, breath, and sleep alone is a good and free thing, no need to take care of others feeling and adjust life style due to other.
I love to be alone or have “me time” after having 2 noisy kids at home.But, they only will be made no noise after sleep. Hehe!
-
It is so important for people to be able to function on their own. To be able to fill their time and thoughts without outside assistance.

So how did trump find his way into the republican races to contest for the presidency of america. so people all over the world are now becoming educated fools than those who have never step a foot in a classroom before. What explanation can be given to people who voted for trump with all his lies and behavoiur during the campaign. My beef is those black americans who supported trumps after all his heat speech against the black race.
-
You and I are on the same page. Black people who voted for Trump, well, they must be the descendents of those who sold their brothers into slavery in Africa, then became slave catchers in the West.
The supporters of Trump, the real ones, are right wing White Americans who don’t think ‘Black Lives Matter’. You note, since Nov. we haven’t heard anything about Police shooting unarmed Black man anymore. Cause it’s happening, and not being reported.

Noting down in the classroom and again rewriting with all decorations and necessary techniques using circles in place of a dot, underlying the important information may be useful to get it back into your memory during an examination may be a good idea.But it works in lower classes only. Once you catch up the steps one by one in the ladder of education system it becomes a herculean task which needs covering various subjects.
You’re wrong. It works in Law School, which is pretty much at the very top of the hill when it comes to hard subjects, a lot of information, and needing to think. It works.
All the techniques used in school studies help to keep in mind all that have been learnt in the process of teaching.The use of personal diction is not ruled out.At times the use of symbols and unique writings help only the student.
I would not have written this item if I did not know, FOR A FACT that it works.
Note-taking also works well for me. And even when I’m done with school, I still do a lot of note-taking for research and article writing. Handwriting and copying important lines helps reinforce my understanding of the text.
The act of writing, by hand is beyond typing when it comes to imprinting in the brain.
I do that when I was in college. I rewrite all that I have taken notes in the classes I attended.
Then after rewriting , I would read them aloud. That way, I am already at least putting them in my mind.
Like you said, I put highlights in those I think are important. My highlights are of different colors. Color coding as it is said.
Pink would be the most important items and should be memorized.
Green would be those that need not be memorized but should be understood on how they are like that.
I also take time to relax after I have reviewed what I have written. I listen to music after that, or watch a nice show or eat.
You know exactly what you are doing. The method works.
I need not to take exam anymore for the time being and the past ten years , I only busy with napkin and breastfeeding, haha!
Anyway, I love and miss those study time when I was a student, reading and studying is the most enjoyable task in my life.
I might go back to school for further study in the future. But, e-learning is more common nowadays!
Even if it is elearning you want your Beat Book, you want to sit outside on the beach or in the garden, and relax and learn.
The best way for me to study was to re-write everything i wrote in class. The more i wrote, the more i memerized. I would sometimes just read the material various times to memerize but it was easier to memerize when i would write it down.
Your method is also a good way to. If you have a specific way to write things down that will help you learn then it becomes easier to study also.
When i was still in school i didn’t study that hard because i was a fast learner and i would just re-write my notes for coleagues and that would be my study session.
