    In Jamaica, while a case is going on, one is not to discuss the aspects of it.  Although in high profile cases the news will report who took the stand or when an adjournment is granted, the legal bits are not to be discussed.

    Once a case is decided, the entire judgment can be published.

    There is a very simple answer;  You don’t.

    This is not a job where the boss has to tell you he’s closing down, and pays you off.   This is a business in which  you take all the risk.

    • It is really a gamble; we just rely on the honesty of the site owner(s). It’s a pity if are “robbed” of the time and effort devoted to a site. It could be a frightening thing for us!

    • Well, it’s one of the perils of joining writing sites; and sometimes we just charge it to experience; to learn from it and be very critical the next time! Hope this site will be reliable and not be one of those sites you mentioned.

      • So far, outside of a few glitches, it has been pretty strong.

        • Thanks, it can be sort of some “assurance” for newbies like me. I hope site owners will always warn members when it plans to close the site!

      Freedom of speech is sometimes put to abuse of some haters. There should be some restrictions as to what to say like in other countries like New Zealand they cannot just air their grievances or grudges because there are restrictions.

      Philippines has lots of freedom that are not beneficial for people and government. Sometimes media is the root cause of some fake reports.

    If you had left America and went to somewhere there is no television and spent ten years there, you would find all the new programs very strange.

    In ancient days there was a Star, Co-Star, and some co-co stars. […]

    • It is probable that only those familiar with dramas of the 1950s, 60s, 70s and early 80s would notice the change from the one/two star to the ensemble.

      For example, if the actor playing Dr. Kildare was unwell or unavailable there was a problem. Now the actor playing Dr. Preston can leave the show and no one much notices his absence.

      Sorry to hear about your bad experience with HP. I was not at that site for you know I am active in my work. How nice if HP is still existing so I may also experience better pay. I only had taste better pay at Blogjob and previously BB. Those kind of writing sites must not be careless enough to just pay higher so there is retention. They seem do not have a statistician or programmer to control the flow of their site. Too high pay means short-lived site.

      • It had been good, now it is a waste of keystrokes. It’s sad but I blame the owners. For if they had kept a standard they wouldn’t have suffered.

    • I have some hubs at Hubpages, but they weren’t very popular, so I didn’t get a lot of money from them. Anyway, I noticed the changes there, it has changed, and it’s not for good. Good article!

      • I don’t know how they can miss the point and keep missing it for seven years.
