    • That’s a wonderful passion you have, photography. And yes, only a few have that kind of skills.
      I tried taking pictures many times with my phone but I am not satisfied with the outcome. I cannot say there is wrong of my camera because when my sister uses it, she got some good pictures. So, I must say, it’s not a passion of mine. Maybe I am just a lover of nature that I want to take some souvenirs of them through photos but I cannot do proper photography. 🙂

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Teenage Suicide Attempts- How Can Parents Help Them 8 years ago

    When your child is growing from a school age kid to his teenage years, it is time to take extra attention and care for his behavior.

     

    Nowadays, teenage suicide is a common problem among teens compare to […]

    • peachpurple..very nice research.Parents play a pivotal role in the life of their child.There are many who are very rigid.They dont even like to talk to them or listen to what he or she wants to say.They scold them and sometimes punish them. When they come to know that their child has not completed his or her homework, they would say: you cant have your dinner.You go and finish your home work first. Parents should change their way of thinking. They should not insult their child.

    • Those statistics are very alarming. And it’s quite unfortunate that this really is happening in our society. And sometimes it’s very overwhelming to the parents sometimes. At that age th3 kids get really agitated with small things, they become unruly and talking to them can be a bit cumbersome, and very frustrating, but that should not make th3 parents get discouraged and turn away from their rebellious children. Most of the time suicidal thoughts come into being when the kids are not satisfied with their surroundings or they are not confident with themselves. So when parents notice these kids becoming miners and rebellious that’s the time they need to get close to them and talk. Not that it’s going to be an easy task but trying can make a difference in their lives. All they ar3 looking for us attention and when that attention is not found them they seem solace in the suicidal thoughts, oters become sick, others depression sets I and that’s when things get really bad. It’s always good to also once in a while check what your kids are watching and listening to, because that could also be a cause that may lead to the kind of thoughts that they may be having.

    • Teenage suicide is the major problem of modern age but I think it shows the darkest mood of the teens due to some severe disappointment> I explanis suicide in these words as Teen suicide is a growing health concern. It is the third-leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24, surpassed only by homicide and accidents, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention

      National suicide prevention efforts have focused on school education programs, crisis center hotlines, screening programs that seek to identify at-risk adolescents, media guidelines (suicide prevention strategies that involve educating media professionals about the prevalence of copy-cat suicides among adolescents, in an effort to minimize the impact of news stories reporting suicide) and efforts to limit firearm access.

      Screening programs have proven to be helpful because research has shown that suicidal people show signs of depression or emotional distress. Referrals can be made for treatment, and effective treatment can be employed when signs are observed in time. Intervention efforts for at-risk youth can put them in contact with mental health services that can save their lives.

      Suicide is a relatively rare event and it is difficult to accurately predict which persons with these risk factors will ultimately commit suicide. However, there are some possible warning signs such as:

      Talking About Dying — any mention of dying, disappearing, jumping, shooting oneself, or other types of self harm

      Recent Loss — through death, divorce, separation, broken relationship, self-confidence, self-esteem, loss of interest in friends, hobbies, activities previously enjoyed

      Change in Personality — sad, withdrawn, irritable, anxious, tired, indecisive, apathetic Change in Behavior — can’t concentrate on school, work, routine tasks

      Change in Sleep Patterns — insomnia, often with early waking or oversleeping, nightmares

      Change in Eating Habits — loss of appetite and weight, or overeating Fear of losing control – acting erratically, harming self or others

      Low self esteem — feeling worthless, shame, overwhelming guilt,
      self-hatred, “everyone would be better off without me”

      No hope for the future — believing things will never get better; that nothing will ever change

    • Nice research!!! great

    • yes you are right parent has to come forward and fill the gap between teenagers and themselves let them feel free to talk and things to do by them not by forcing them. If you want your child go ahead. so first know what your child need fulfill them child goes high and high in success path

    The good thing about last night is the mega size moon that is so big and bold in its light. Of course the science have told us that the full moon is 30 percent brighter than usual and about 10 percent bigger […]

    • Yes, the moon was mega size and it happens after seventy years on earth but the sight was very beautiful and fascinating for the watchers. But its effect will be on the country on the moon was shining according to astronomy.

      A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth; also called perigee. A Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart, the Micromoon.

      The Moon’s orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle, but elliptical, with one side closer to Earth than the other.
      As a result of the Moon’s elliptical orbit, the distance between the Moon and Earth varies throughout the month and the year. On average the distance is about 382,900 kilometers (238,000 miles).
      The point on the Moon’s orbit closest to Earth is called the perigee and the point farthest away is the apogee

      When a Full Moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth, it is called a Super Full Moon. A New Moon that takes places when the Moon is around its perigee is known as a Super New Moon.
      A Micromoon, on the other hand, is when a Full or a New Moon is farthest from the Earth, around apogee. It’s also known as a Minimoon, Mini Full Moon, or a Mini New Moon.

    • Load shedding is a regular feature here. We have a home UPS that takes care of lights, fans, tv and my pc when the current goes off.

    • jhsayyar..well done. We cant forget good days when we all had our lunch and dinner together.Now modern inventions,especially computer and mobile, have changed everything.How strange that even small kids have their own mobile sets.They receive messages and calls. They play games and use net.This tendency has spoiled their habits.They even dont hesitate to use their mobiles during lunch and dinner.This tendency must be curbed by parents.

      • Just a small correction. This post is written by me – bestwriter 🙂

        Those days of praying together, eating together and even sitting together is history now.

    • Yes, you say write that pray together and stay together for ever, I think we all human beings are thankless to God when we talk about staying together we pray and we eat and drink we do not pray because it is our habit to eat without raising the name of God,

      We must start every work with the name of God on earth because there is a solid reason behind and a few know it that there are thousands of evil spirits roaming on earth preying human beings those are straying on earth forgetting God in their works.

      What Evil Spirits on Earth
      Evil spirits roan on earth just to astray men and women so that they could lead astray the innocent people of the world. We must not forget God in our daily life thus we shall get life prolonged and you will enjoy health and wealth.

      • You are right when you say that one does not have to pray before eating. I only said we must pray together. It is rather thanking than praying.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, A Gardener Always has Countless Happy Moments 8 years ago

    As I have often mentioned, planning gives me more joy than the end result and this applies to gardening as well. These zinnia seedlings have a story.

    Someone was passing by with a whole lot of zinnia plants […]

    • As you have rightly said gardening is a complete package. 🙂

    • We are in the same flock because me too is so engage in gardening. We have lots of flowering plants in our front that includes roses, daisies, hibiscus, bougainvaella and many more. It is true what you have said, and this really inspires me for my every day.

      • I can imagine how happy you must be with all the flowers around you which you are responsible for them to be there.

    • Yes it true that a gardener has many happy moments in life than any other person. There was a day when I grew all my own annual flowers from seed — as many as 25 different varieties. Though my garden is now smaller and my ambition has mellowed a bit, I still start many flowers from seed. Here’s why:

      Say you want to plant a 12-foot row of zinnias along your walk, or put 40 white impatiens in your shade garden. Buying these plants at your local nursery will probably set you back at least $50, whereas a packet of seeds will run you about $4. That’s an extra $46 to spend on some other gardening essentials!

      Another reason I start annuals from seed is that even the best garden centers don’t offer some of the most worthy garden annuals. To make sure I always have love-lies-bleeding (Amaranthus caudatus), Nicotiana langsdorfii, Phlox drummondii, Salvia horminium, lavatera (Lavatera trimestris) and other favorites, I always start them myself.

      I don’t know why it is, but seed packets rarely provide the basic seedstarting information a gardener needs to know. The packet usually won’t tell you whether the seeds should be started indoors under lights, or should be planted right in the garden. You won’t be told if the seeds need light or darkness to germinate, or if the seedlings are frost hardy.

      These days, with so many unusual varieties available from seed, you may also wind up purchasing seeds for something exotic, like the Himalayan blue poppy (Meconopsis betonicifolia) that even a highly experienced gardener would have difficulty bringing into flower.

    • This is absolutely true. I can never imagine myself not gardening at all. I think I will always go back to my seeds and soil.

    • SuperD, well done, dear! when you express your views and share them with others you encourage them,you solve their problems and clear their way.Your post is one of those who have guided the newcomers and have paved their way to success. This success may not be very big but it has its significance and meaning. Let me explain my point. For example if I get some amount, say one dollar, it is not one dollar only, it is one dollar plus the feelings and blessings of those who have benefited from your experience.So keep it up.

      • Wow, thank you, I was motivated by your words. And that goes exactly why we are here, why we are writing down our opinions. This is our write and passion, we can live it or pass to this world without fulfilling what we wanted.

    • Yes, you say right that when someone gets payment he feels happiness on receiving it at home. I think you are one of them I congratulate you on getting the payment in time.

      Happiness is the consequence of what we do and how we behave. So when a person who is unhappy shifts their focus and does something different they help themselves to become happier. Trying to think yourself happier is difficult, happiness comes when you change what you do.

      We tend to think of happiness as subjective well-being, with a set of emotions and feelings.

      And of course, if you ask someone if they are happy they will probably reflect on how they feel. An unhappy person will bring to mind their feelings of sadness, perhaps some negative emotions or absence of joy. And most would say they want to feel better.

      It’s not easy, as any unhappy person will tell you, to think yourself happy. But you can boost your happiness by your actions. And you can sustain and nurture your happiness by what you do. Simply put, if you want to be happier you have to do something different – you have to do new things.

      • This is the fruit of our hardship; this is the fruit of our passion for writing. We earn our payout here and the feeling was just overwhelming. We are happy that after all our hardship and effort we finally got the money we earn.

    • Am very happy to this and read it, every hard work surppose to be paid, this very testimony will make people to work more harder than ever to earn from literacybase, I got more strength to work hard, because I know it is not easy to write, and literacy base should also continue to maintain they geniueness in the plight of other, keeping promises make people to trust you, i see literacy base have keep they promieses, literacy base go on and be the best among others, although i never received anything from them but base on peoples testimony i said maybe it is true.

      • I just wanted to be the living evidence that Literacy Base is really paying its members, unlike other sites that are just really using us for their own purpose. I want to prove that our hardship is being paid here and we are not being neglected.

        I have been paid and that is making me happy so much. Its hard to find a legit site in the online world. And when we find one we should also support it by proving to them we are not just being used. So take my words, I was paid here and I swear to that.

    • Congratulations and may you get many more payments for your efforts.

      • That is my wish. As long as literacy base is here and as long as they like me as a content writer here, I will be here posting my articles. As long as I can I will give my talent here.

    • Yes, there are some crimes that becomes mysterious for the police and also for the government because they cannot understand its real nature and the criminals. They commit crimes in a cunning way that none can understand who has done it without finding any proof on earth.

      Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa said Monday they already have an idea on who the mastermind is in the Davao blast which claimed the lives of 14 people and injured 70 others.
      “Mastermind of the bombing … we already have an idea on who they are or who he is. Meron na kaming idea but hindi pa namin ipapa-public because we are still [in] the process of case buildup against him, against them,” Dela Rosa told reporters in Lipa, Batangas where he led the launching of the PNP Cup.

      Dela Rosa insisted on his earlier theory that the bombing has something to do with narco-terrorism but he refused to elaborate.
      “Hindi muna ako magsalita hanggang hindi pa namin ma-connect. We have to connect all the dots to have an airtight case against the suspects. So hindi ko masabi na sila yung narco-politicians na tinutukoy natin who funded the bombing … that terror attack,” he said.

      The PNP chief believes that when they arrest the suspected bomber, that person would subsequently identify the mastermind.
      “Kung makuha natin yung suspect … then tutuga na siya sa nag-fund, then airtight na yung ating kaso,” he said.
      He assured the public that they are doing everything to arrest the bomber who is now hiding in Central Mindanao.

      • With this accomplishment of PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa including the accomplishments on war against drugs, lowering the number of criminality in the country and making the policemen honorable and not horrible– and now here is the Ombudsman trying to pin down the PNP chief with this issue– being treated with free plane, ring ticket and accomodation by Manny Pacquiao. Oh my, should Pacquiao invite also Ombudgsman Conchita Carpio Morales.

    So everybody now have their own opinion and speculation on the runaway winning of presumptive President Donald Trump of the United States of America. Or shall I say why Democrat Hillary Clinton lost the race with […]

    • On my own contribution, Trump win the because american knows that they suffering under president barak Obama they have been praying to God very big expectation from God and now is that time they are looking for, america is under bondage for many years ago. Am every sure with the massive vote the citizens voted Trump in means they want a real the Democrat in that country america, am sure he will do well and restored the lost glory of America,

      • I don’t believe United States has lost its glory up to this time. You see, America is still the most powerful nation in the whole world. Not even Russia and China can deny that. America is still the strongest economy. US is still the most favorable country that everyone wants to stay or go to. So, when Trump said he wants America to be great again, I don’t get what he means. Maybe he think America is beaten by Russia or China. Lets see.

    • You’re entitled to your opinion.

      Um? Does anybody want to address the possibility that the election might have been rigged? LOL. LOL. LOL. It could have been done by Russian hackers. After all, Putin called and congratulated him after the win and the Russians were partying in the streets of Moscow. I’m sorry! It’s funny but it’s also suspicious. I would not have thought about it were it not for the fact that Trump is the one who mentioned it!

      One of my brothers used to say: “You know sometimes when people accuse others of doing something, it’s cause they did it! They’re just checking to see if you know that’s what they did! In other words: They want to see if they did it and got away with doing it?” LOL. LOL. LOL. Sorry. The more I think about it, the more hilarious it sounds and the more it seems to be a very real possibility the election was rigged.

      Anyway … America will be America for the next 4 to 8 years and Que sera sera! Whatever will be, will be. 🙂

      • I don’t know, but if Russia can manipulate the election of United States, that is the time I believe Trump’s words that he will be making America great again. But what I know, only the photos and videos of the Hollywood’s Jennifer Lawrence et al were hack by hackers and not election because they have the most secured anti-virus program. Trump win because America wants him to lead the country and not Hillary.

        • Yeah well. It sure would be nice if somebody finally led the country forward, upward and onward. Cause for the past several years I feel like the US has either been standing still or going backwards! What do I know? I have poor vision. 🙁

    • Good one! Didn’t think of that either! LOL. LOL.

    • Is this what Nostradamus foresee, he he. I remember that even Pope Benedict has this kind of news when he was chosen as the new Pope. Funny we have heard many of this kind of end of days story.

    • Every body should keep in mind that in every country election is won on the ground of greed, dishonesty and wealth spending on the voters underground. There is no example of fair election in any country because gentle men neither can run country nor save country from enemies external and internal.

      Corrupt people run the country and save country. Think for a while to save country what the politicians do a gentle man cannot do or a religious man cannot do as well.

      Voters are befooled in the name of democracy because democracy is fraud. Think, what any politician does becomes the public decision?
      I think as It is a tribute to the designers of the US Constitution that the Electoral College mechanism still exists. It’s almost as if though they might also have already suspected long ago that there could be illicit efforts in the future to change an election outcome simply by stuffing the ballots in a few locations.

      The indirect US electoral system has saved the country from a big crisis brought on by election fraud. Instead of changing the Constitution future election reforms should focus on making vote fraud impossible or extremely difficult to carry out.

    • Yes. Finally, it has to be accepted that the reasons for Donald’s winning the elections are many.

      Anti-propaganda or negative propaganda by whatever name we call it has fetched him a lot.

      Mr. Donald was abused and his followers were amused. Even wearing the T-shirts by his supporters was amused and pointed out as weird and mentioned as ‘never-heard-of’ method in any U.S Elections.

      The media outrightly supported Mrs. Clinton. Her statements became sweet and that of Mr. Donald were ‘soar’. Totally biased blogs, articles, and writing became the day of events and found a place in the Newspapers and Magazines.

      The Moderates abused him as ‘lunatic’, ‘crack’, ‘negative minded’, ‘mad’ and what not. Every word of abuse was used against him. Vulgarity became routine Time and again the Tax-evasion became a topic of debate as if the Moderates were the only sacred and prompt on the planet Earth.

      When Mr. Donald said that he would make the U.S great he actually mean it. Neither the China nor the Russia needs to invade it or occupy it. Whatever bad had to occur had already occurred to the U.S.

      It should be remembered that the US owes more debts to the China and Japan The debts of the U.S to China is running in billion dollars

      China owns $1.2237 trillion worth of U.S Government securities and Japan this figure stands at $1.2244 trillion. The U.S trade in goods with China since the year 2011 to 2015 do not exhibit any improvement towards reducing the imports which are always on the increasing side

      In the above context, the statement of Mr. Donald was hailed by the U.S citizen. They accepted him . They welcomed him to be their President instead of welcoming a candidate involved in more dangerous email scandal.

      His winning the election is not by chance or by any lines of fate.

      Mrs. Clinton was supported from nook and corner of the globe. Everybody including the leaders of the other countries wished for her victory.

      Mr. Obama endorsed Mrs. Clinton openly for the best reasons of QUID-PRO-QUO . The media supported her. Mr. Donald was made single to fight the Elections. He had no support of his own party members. Every- one tried to off their face from him.

      But, Mr. Donald was never disappointed.
      The people of U.S were always with him though the whole world stood against him.
