When Dementia Patients Become Delusional and How to Respond
It surely is disturbing when a loved one, having dementia, suddenly becomes suspicious towards you. For example, your father might forget that you've been dealing with his money matters for years and may suddenly assume that you are trying to steal his money.
However, these are some of the familiar scenarios which Alzheimer's caregivers have to face on a daily basis. Dementia affects how the patient perceives the world. One of the common side effects of dementia is patients exhibiting delusional behavior and, in some cases, the affected individuals even experience hallucinations.
Firstly, it is important to understand what delusion and hallucination are. While delusion involves suspicion and false beliefs, hallucination is a false perception that can even be sensory in nature. In the earlier stages of the disease, the patient can recognize that this is a figment of their imagination. But, as the disease worsens over time, they may be unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
According to a research, almost 40% of Alzheimer's patients are prone to delusions and suspicious behavior. This is why caregivers should know how to handle this type of behavior at a practical level because it can be very hurtful to both parties if they respond emotionally.
So, what is your best weapon to deal with such behaviors? Knowledge and a practical approach. Here are some coping strategies that can help you handle the situation much more effectively.
Tips for responding to delusions
As difficult as it may sound, try not to let your loved one's suspicious behavior get under your skin. Explain the process to your family, friends and other caregivers. Help them understand that their suspicion and aggressive behavior is not a reflection of them. Remember, it is the disease talking and not them. Remind yourself that this behavior is due to the decline in brain health and the changes happening within.
Secondly, try to maintain a regular routine for your loved one suffering from dementia. A consistent and predictable schedule will reassure the person and may help prevent delusions and anxiety.
Here are some more effective ways to manage delusions:
1. Employ the 3 R's (Reassure, Respond, and Refocus)
Remain calm and resist any urge to correct or explain things to your loved one. Don't try to prove that what they are experiencing is not real, it will only confuse them further. Just respond to their needs with empathy and reassure them that you are there to listen. Respond appropriately by acknowledging their fear. Try to shift their focus from the problem causing topic. This doesn't mean that you should agree with your loved one when they are delusional. Be honest while respecting them. An example of a reassuring yet validating statement might be,"It must be scary to think someone is in the house with you."
2. Investigate
Sometimes, the immediate environment plays a role in triggering fear and delusion within the patient. Investigate your surroundings and look for a cause that might have caused the unsettled behavior. If they are seeing something that you aren't, find out where and what it is. Is it because of the lighting through the window creating a shadow?
Once, you have identified the underlying pattern behind the problem, try to minimize it by shifting to another room during those hours, or by closing the drapes at that specific time.
3. Distract
Whenever you find your loved one on the verge of being delusional, try to divert their attention by using distraction as a technique. Too much screen time, especially violent or upsetting shows, can make them more prone towards anxiety and meltdowns. Think about other activities that they like. Common distractions are taking a walk around the block, solving puzzles, playing cards and looking at old photographs.
Here are 6 stimulating activities that can improve the lives of dementia patients.
4. Duplicate any lost items
If your loved one tends to lose things repeatedly and then keeps on searching for that particular item, consider keeping duplicates. For example, if your mother loses her wallet and assumes it's stolen, purchase two or more similar wallets, and offer it to her when she loses it the next time.
5. Look for support
Never say no to help and become a part of a support system that offers a safe haven for caregivers, family, and friends of persons with dementia. Being a part of a support group is an empowering experience that can help you feel prepared to cope with difficult situations.
Read brain health blogs where people share their response strategies and get more ideas from other caregivers.
6. Evaluate for other medical causes
Sometimes, there can be other medical reasons that trigger delusions and suspicious behavior. Consult with your loved one's physician to rule out any other underlying medical issue like dehydration, urinary tract infections, kidney or bladder infections, or pain- all of which can cause hallucinations or delusions.
If your loved one has started a new medication, report behavioral changes to the doctor immediately as it can also be a side effect of the medicine.
The bottom-line is that no matter who we are, we just want to feel understood. Whether it is a toddler who hasn't developed his vocabulary or an adult experiencing delusion related to dementia, or any other medical issue- the way to deal with it remains the same. After all, every human being wants others to respond to their feelings and acknowledge what they are experiencing.

Do you struggle at all with building online courses that will be profitable AND get amazing results for your students?
I recently did a short audio interview (19 minutes) with Danny Iny of The Course Builder's Laboratory in which we discussed the following challenges:
- Differentiating yourself in a crowded market where many others are selling courses on the same topic as you (and some are from big names in the industry)
- Building the right amount of interactivity and support into an online course…. especially if you don't have access to a lot of resources
- Scaling a course to sell to large numbers of students, even if you're a small business or solopreneur
- Selling a course without having to be a 'salesperson' or cheerleader
- Deciding how much content to provide for a higher-priced course
- Striking a balance in pricing between the ultra-cheap or free and the high-end premium courses
We even talked about whether the whole 'self-study' approach to a course works at all – where it does and where it doesn't make sense.
You can listen in here:
We've put together a shortened transcript of the interview which pulls together general points:
How can course builders differentiate themselves when there are already so many people out there teaching courses on their topic?
The first question is to ask if there's something missing.
If you can point to a competitor who's already doing something perfect that gets everyone the outcomes they need and the price is right, then don't build the course.
If you look around and feel there's something that needs to be taught that isn't, then there's an opportunity.
Create something that fills that need and be clear about why you created it.
If people aren't getting the outcomes they want, there's going to be a market. You just have to make the case that you have that offer.
How do you handle not having the resources or staff to provide personal interaction?
Being an individual doesn't mean that you can't provide support; it just means you can't provide it at scale.
If someone is working on their own and enrolls 10 students a month who pay $2000, they can probably afford to support them.
It's about matching the level of support that your course requires for students to be successful.
You can provide that and start hiring people if you want to get that larger scale.
If you want to add extra interactivity and support, how do you balance helping them and making it an exceptional experience when maybe you don't have the time?
You start with what you've got. If it's a small amount of students and you're offering more support, then you charge a premium.
It's important to do that with a new course because you don't know where people will get stuck.
Providing support to a small group doesn't take a lot of time and allows you to charge enough to make it worth your while.
Use the experience to learn and reduce the support needed when you scale the course.
How can you make sure you still get enough interaction when you scale the course and start using things like recorded video?
By providing support early on you'll see where people need help.
Questions people ask will either be specific to their situations, or they'll be questions that everyone is asking.
As it becomes more scalable, it doesn't mean there won't be a way for people to reach out to you. There will still be a way for you to know if people have questions.
The key is to get to the point where the volume goes down so that it's cost effective for you to do it at scale.
How do you tell at that point, when you are at scale, where people are stuck?
You find that out before you get to that scale.
People are still going to leave feedback, but the idea is to smooth out those speedbumps before you get there.
Do you have tips for how to still get interactivity when you're using recorded content?
Interactivity is a function of what is the most valuable outcome for your student
Sometimes a self-paced experience is great, and at others they might need to be able to post progress.
You might use technology that checks off their progress, or have them send in updates for you to check off so that you know they're on track.
You can use automation technology to send them emails if they don't log in for a certain amount of time.
This is built from the insights you gain as you work with people more directly on a smaller scale.
How can a seller break through cultural differences in countries where the typical American cheerleading type of selling makes them uncomfortable?
You don't need to be that type of seller to be successful.
That approach might resonate with certain markets, but doesn't with mine.
We have a large proportion of students in Canada, the UK and Australia where the over-the-top aggressive approach doesn't work as well.
There are a lot of larger enough markets to support any individual business so that you don't have to worry about adopting a style that isn't yours.
You have to find a way to be as effective as you can that aligns with your style – what we teach you to do through our program.
Any tips you could share now for people to get over the 'sales pitch' challenge?
As that's a very context specific question, no.
But that does underline why in certain contexts, coaching and individual attention is important.
Every student in our program gets a dedicated coach on our team to make sure everyone gets the support and answers they need.
Do they get actual practice with the selling part of the equation?
We have multiple modules about the selling and enrolling of students.
We share multiple strategies and approaches, give them the steps, templates, blueprints, simulations and examples. There are opportunities to practice, get your feet wet and step out of your comfort zone in a controlled way.
This is in a way to not freak you out or overwhelm you, but empower you to stretch your abilities and be able to do more.
How do you handle people who come to you and say 'Such and such (big name guru) says do this', and you have to say 'well that's not right'?
That's amazing when it happens because it doesn't have to be just your word against theirs.
You can say 'this is why I don't think that's a great suggestion' and explain the different of your approach.
Jay Abraham said that if you articulate the problem better than they can, they will trust that you have a solution.
You earn credibility by speaking the truth in a way that's clear and compelling to your listeners.
It's not a problem – it's a wonderful opportunity.
When someone gets confused, what do you do? As you add more interaction, do you raise the price and give more content?
Higher price is not justified by more content. It's justified by getting to a better outcome faster.
The solution is often not about adding content, it's about taking it away and becoming more focused, taking away the things that are distracting or confusing.
Working with students gives you feedback as to what matters and what you need to zero in on. Sometimes that means providing more support and you learn to do that in a way that's focused and dedicated.
You need to evolve towards a situation where you can do less but deliver more because that's what matters to your student.
How do you get to the middle ground between cheaper or free Udemy-type courses and the really high-price expensive ones?
Why would you want to be in the middle?
Udemy is information – not real education. There's not much in the way of support or interactivity. They're not expensive legitimately. That's what they're worth and that's great.
There are a lot of issues with the higher end courses that cost a lot and don't provide much more than that.
It's a decision of do you want to be providing information which is low cost, low value, or high cost, high value?
You want to be pricing based on the values and outcomes you're offering.
Does the self-study model work?
My perspective is that usually no, but it depends on the student.
There are students who are going to be successful no matter what – they're motivated and it doesn't matter how much the course sucks, they're going to do well.
There are also students who aren't going to be successful, no matter what. Even if you hold their hand as they do the homework they're never going to take action.
Don't worry about either of these groups.
Then there's everyone else in the middle and this comes back to information vs. education. Information is good at broadening horizons and giving knowledge that can be integrated into existing expertise.
Information isn't good at giving you a level of competence that you don't already have – you need education for that.
Self-study is not usually effective at growing from a certain level of knowledge to a higher level.
So the way to differentiate yourself from those who just put an eBook out there is to add that extra bit of support that's going to help them implement things?
Which is what gets people results and has the benefit of allowing you to charge a premium because it's worth it.
Any last tips?
A lot of people will struggle with uncertainty. The answer is not to worry if you stumble a bit – everybody stumbles.
Get started and get out there.
My hope is that a lot of you will do this through us. We don't just teach you the steps to follow; we offer you the support.
We provide the guidance that allows us to guarantee your outcomes. We're so confident we says 'if you follow my program and you don't get the results you want, you'll get double your money back'.
I'd love to work with a lot of the people who are listening to this through our program.

My Worst Travel Day Ever Thanks To Air Canada
Those who follow my Twitter account will likely have noticed that I have been less than thrilled with the quality of service provided by Air Canada today. I was supposed to do some consulting work in the UK this week, but those plans have been turned upside down thanks to a plane with an electrical fault of some sort that led to a cancellation. Now I get that stuff like this happens, but the way it was handled by Air Canada was absolutely a #fail to put it mildly. Let me walk you through the chronology of events:
- My flight was supposed to take off at 8:25 AM. But at 7:58 AM they delayed the flight by 30 minutes. Now, I was supposed to connect to a train via National Rail to my final destination, and I built a three hour buffer to make sure that if a delay happened, I would not miss my train.
- At 8:39 AM Air Canada announced a further delay with due to a "mechanical issue."
- At 9:09 AM Air Canada started boarding the plane.
- At 9:23 AM they pushed us back from the gate. At this point, we have been delayed for just over an hour. But the "fun" was not over. They were unable to start the engines so they were forced to return to the gate and mechanics come on board to look at this electrical fault.
- After sitting on the plane for another hour, Air Canada empties the plane and tells passengers to get a voucher and come back in an hour for an update. Here's what the line for the vouchers looked like:
- One hour later, the flight is cancelled and Air Canada sends passengers running to a customer service desk with only two people at it and over 200 people from the flight that was cancelled to deal with:
- About 30 minutes after I post that Tweet, a third person appears:
It took almost another hour to rebook at this desk. As it stands, I am on the 6:30 PM flight tonight which will land in London at roughly 6AM. But this forced me to rebook my train travel. Fortunately that was only 6.75 GBP. But it pushes back the amount of time that I have to work back by one day which isn't good for yours truly or my client.
Now I will say this once again, I get that delays happen. But Air Canada could have done a much better job of dealing with this. They could have had more customer service agents to help us rebook. They could have perhaps done a better job ensuring the plane was working. Even the communication might have been better. Other airlines seem to do a much better job of this than Air Canada. So, after this experience combined with my experience with Air Canada the last time I flew to the UK, I likely will not be flying with them again. Delays happen. But it's how you handle those delays as an airline that makes someone who has a delay want to fly with them again, or not fly with them again.
Here's hoping that I get off the ground later tonight.
One Response to "My Worst Travel Day Ever Thanks To Air Canada"
[…] and that is what counts. Having said that, because of what happened earlier in the trip as well as one other instance where my travel plans were ruined, I likely will not be flying Air Canada […]

Faberge's Eggs: The Extraordinary Story of the Masterpieces That Outlived an Empire
- Binding: Hardcover
- Author: Toby Faber
- Publish Date: 2008-10-07
In Stradivariâs Genius, Toby Faber charted the fascinating course of some of the worldâs most prized musical instruments. Now, in this enthralling new book, he tells the story of objects that are, to many, the pinnacle of the jewelerâs art: the Fabergé imperial eggs.
The Easter presents that Russiaâs last two czars gave to their czarinas have become synonymous with privilege, beauty, and an almost provocative uselessness. They are perhaps the most redolent symbols of the old empireâs phenomenal craftsmanship, of the decadence of its court, and of the upheavals that brought about its inevitable downfall. Fabergéâs Eggs is the first book to recount the remarkable story of these masterpieces, taking us from the circumstances that inspired each eggâs design, through their disappearance in the trauma of revolution, to their eventual reemergence in the global marketplace.
In 1885, Carl Fabergé created a seemingly plain white egg for Czar Alexander III to give to his beloved wife, Marie Fedorovna. It was the surprises hidden inside that made it special: a diamond miniature of the Imperial crown and a ruby pendant. This gift began a tradition that would last for more than three decades: lavishly extravagant eggs commemorating public events that, in retrospect, seem little more than staging posts on the march to revolution. Above all, the eggs illustrate the attitudes that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Romanovs: their apparent indifference to the poverty that choked their country, their preference for style over substance, and, during the reign of Nicholas II, their all-consuming concern with the health of the czarevitch Alexis, the sickly heir to the throneâa preoccupation that would propel them toward Rasputin and the doom of the dynasty.
More than a superb new account of a classic tragedy, Fabergéâs Eggs illuminates some fascinating aspects of twentieth-century history. The eggsâ amazing journey from revolutionary Russia features a cast of characters including embattled Bolsheviks, acquisitive British royals, eccentric artifact salesmen, and such famous business and society figures as Arm and Hammer, Marjorie Merriweather Post, and Malcolm Forbes. Finally, Toby Faber tantalizingly suggests that some of the eggs long thought lost may eventually emerge.
Darting from the palaces of a besieged Russia to the showcases of New Yorkâs modern mega-wealthy, Fabergéâs Eggs weaves a story unparalleled in its drama and extravagance.

Dr Trisha Macnair> May 16, 2017
The green shoots of spring and early summer are always welcome. But for a growing number of people there's a price to pay or the arrival of warmer weather, longer, brighter days and blooming flowers - the misery of hay fever.
Also known as 'seasonal allergic rhinitis', hay fever is estimated to affect 18 million people in the UK - that's about a quarter of the total population. Experts are even predicting that hay fever may affect as many as 45 per cent of us by 2030.
Typical symptoms, such as a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing and itchy, watery eyes are caused by an allergic reaction to the proteins found in pollen from a variety of plants.
When these particles come into contact with the moist surface lining of the mouth, nose or eyes, they trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals that can cause irritation and inflammation. While teenagers and young adults tend to suffer more, hay fever can affect any age and gender.
The typical pollen season varies from year to year and may start as early as January and end as late as November. Depending on when during the year your hay fever symptoms start, you may be allergic to a specific type of pollen.
• Grass pollen is the main hay fever trigger in the UK, typically causing symptoms from May onwards;
• Around a quarter of people with hay fever may also be allergic to tree pollen, which appears earlier in the year, meaning that for some symptoms may have started as early as the end of March;
• Pollen from weeds and spores from moulds are other triggers, although these usually appear in autumn.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove pollen from the environment completely, so there's no easy cure for hay fever. But there are many things that you can do to reduce your exposure to pollen, as well as to reduce your symptoms.
Figure out which types of pollen you are sensitive to
Try keeping a diary to compare the severity of symptoms of the daily pollen count for different plants found on the Met Office website during the pollen season (from March onwards) www.metoffice.gov.uk/health/public/pollen-forecast. If your symptoms are severe, your GP may send you for allergy testing. Once you know what is your personal trigger you can try to avoid it.
Check the pollen count
Identify high-risk (hot, dry and windy) days, when you should stay inside with the windows shut if possible. If you do go outside, wear 'wrap-around' sunglasses and apply a barrier balm made from beeswax around your nostrils to prevent pollen entering your nose.
Change your clothes
Shower and change your clothes as soon as you get back indoors and avoid hanging washing outside. An extra tip is to groom pets frequently to remove pollen from their fur.
Vacuum your home regularly
Give a house a good once over and clean surfaces with a damp cloth to collect dust and pollen.
Stock up on simple antihistamines
To ensure you're armed against surprise attacks, stock up on simple antihistamines, which reduce the release of histamine. Your pharmacist can advise you on other treatments, though if your symptoms are severe talk to your GP, who may suggest nose or eye drops or refer you to a specialist centre.
Herbal helpers
• A daily teaspoon of honey produced locally (containing local pollens) is said to help gradually develop immunity.
• Try supplements of butterbur, turmeric or nettle, which all have an antihistamine effect.
• Gingko supplements may reduce the body's reaction to allergens such as pollen. Quercetin has a similar effect. Good sources include red apples, onions and red wine.
• Liquorice root, taken as a tea, can also help to reduce nasal stuffiness.
1. Heavily polluted areas as much as possible when the pollen count is high, as chemicals, such as traffic fumes, can trigger a more severe reaction.
2. Fresh flowers or houseplants
3. Alcohol and second-hand cigarette smoke
4. Eye make-up and perfumes
Nothing beats a healthy, balanced diet to provide all the nutrients we need. But when this isn't possible, supplements can help. This article isn't intended to replace medical advice. Please consult your healthcare professional before trying supplements or herbal medicines.

Lack of Sensation in Breast
What is it?
Lack of sensation in the breast is loss of feeling in the breast. This can be caused by damage to nerves during surgery or may be a late effect of radiation therapy to the breast.
Significant sensory changes are common with surgical treatments for breast cancer. This change can affect sexuality for some women, as a loss of sensation in the breasts as an accessory sex organ may affect sexual arousal.
Sensory changes may increase the risk of infection if early signs of infection are not recognized. To prevent infection, practice breast hygiene. This includes careful washing and drying of the skin and watching for redness, inflammation, discharge and other signs of infection.
When to contact your care team
If you have any concerns about the sensory changes in your breast or with changes to your sexuality, discuss these with your care provider. Sometimes it is difficult for people to discuss sexual topics. Your care provider may ask questions to help you discuss any concerns you have.

Library selected to receive new children's computer station
The Paso Robles City Library has been chosen by the California State Library and the Califa Library Group during a competitive process to receive one of fifty new AWE station bilingual computers for the children's area of the library.
The library currently has one AWE computer station which has received much use since its arrival in January of 2014. During the last year, the computer station was used over 1,500 times by library patrons usually under the age of nine. The new computer will join the existing AWE station on a shared carrel in the children's area of the library. The online public access catalog (OPAC) that had previously shared this space will be relocated to a new carrel to be purchased by the Paso Robles Library Foundation.
"We feel so very fortunate to have been chosen to receive a new AWE station through the generosity of the California State Library and Califa," said Julie Dahlen, Director of Library and Recreation Services for the City of Paso Robles. "The colorful keyboard, touch screen technology and engaging programs make the AWE station a popular destination in the children's section of our library. With an additional AWE station, our library will be able to serve more children with this engaging technology that supports so many areas of important early learning."
Especially designed for library patrons ages 2-8, the AWE station features over 4,000 localized learning activities available in both English and Spanish. Unlike other public computers, the AWE is designed specifically for younger children as a safe learning environment. The station is self contained and does not need to connect to the internet to access programs. The content includes characters and stories familiar to young children. Program choices encompasses all major curriculum areas including math, science and nature, social studies, geography, reading, art, music, writing, computer skills, and reference.
With help from the Califa Library Group, the new AWE system will be provided to the Paso Robles City Library for $500. This is a discount of approximately $2850 from the usual price of the AWE bilingual system.
The Califa Library Group is a non-profit membership cooperative serving libraries and information organizations throughout California.

Good morning friends! This past week, I downloaded a video on my YouTube page Friend of Heaven, along with 5 or 6 more, and I spoke about the heart and how it's the heart Jesus is coming to judge. I spoke also about men and women who have lived a homosexual lifestyle and I knew from the moment I opened my mouth, many would disagree with me. That's okay, it really is and I will tell you, I never know what I am going to share until the moment I open my mouth. I talked about WHY Jesus is coming to judge the heart…not our words, not our thoughts, but our hearts and what lays there as the heart cannot lie.
We must remember that Jesus says that if we ask for forgiveness, we shall receive it but we have to truly repent and He says to love the sinner but hate the sin, does He not? During the time of darkness, that 3 days where He shows Himself to each and every person in this world, He will show them the status of their heart – the good, the bad and the ugly as whatever is there, it will be seen. After this review, He will give each what He called "His last GIFT to humanity", the opportunity and their last chance to be forgiven of their sins committed while here on earth in this corrupt flesh we call a body. He will allow all, the chance to bend their knees, see their sins, ask Him for forgiveness and be added to the Lamb's Book of Life. ALL WILL HAVE THIS VERY ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME CHANCE! Jesus will look in their hearts to see if the remorse is heartfelt, is it sincere and if the people are truly sorry…the heart cannot lie and will bring TRUTH to the surface. He will be able to tell if their mouths are moving, water works pouring all in righteousness or all done in falseness, showing their hearts to really still be ice-cold and only saying words to try to save themselves during this time. I just can't imagine anyone thinking they could hide anything from the Good Lord, can you? But for those who do not know Him, they will try and many will blatantly refuse this GIFT.
Now, if He offers forgiveness to all, He is then forgiving the sin, is He not? Will He not forgive those that have been told that God could not love them because of their homosexuality? Now please remember, I am in NO WAY condoning this way of life as I believe we must love what God loves and hate what God hates but I do know too – that I have known many "gay" people who for instance, at the age of 2, had their preferences known and these traits were expressed at that tender age. A 2 year old is innocent and does not know what is feminine or masculine – they just play "from the gut". As the years progress and they become older, these traits seem to get a bit stronger, enhanced and parents, family, etc. can usually see something is different by time the teenage years arrive, and that too, is when one will start to feel conflicted and confused because they are aware they are a bit different than friends and family members. I personally believe it is at this point too that the enemy begins his celebration because now, the world has begun telling them they are an abomination and while they live and participate in a lifestyle which is against God's Word, Commandments and anything else you want to list, they start searching for "a god" or "the god" that will love them as they are. They need to be able to stand somewhere. Why? Because they have been like this from their earliest memories; walked through their childhood in confidence loving the Lord and just knowing that He loved them back. They never had doubt about the one solid love in their life, God's love. Now, they are awoken and aware but what do they do? Thinking that God can never love you because of who you are can be quite devastating to someone who lingered their entire life in the confidence of God's never-ending love. It is at this point, I believe, a person embraces a life that will give them false understanding of who they are and even a more deceiving acceptance of God's Word and Will. They run to spirituality to find God's love but return from it with a manipulated misconception again adaptable to their lifestyle. Evolution and science become a viable explanation and quickly makes room to comfort all who want to find a way to live in this world being different or those living in a way that is unpleasing to God. At least there, the God they remember from childhood loves them. From that point on, for a while at least, they have placement, confidence and understanding even if it is short-lived and a lie (the lie being the New Age/Spirituality Movement, not God's Love).
Am I saying that this applies 100% to everyone…no. Am I saying this is the cause in each case…no. There will forever be the argument, is this a choice or is a person born like this – I think it's both but it is not up to me to judge them as Jesus will do that and if I am who I say I am in Christ, then I will not judge. Remember, Jesus has told us over and over that our understanding of the Heavenly Structure and Courts, His love and forgiveness to all who ask is not attainable to us until we are changed and become residents of Heaven as it is so much bigger than us and the answers are not cut and dry. It will be at that time, we'll know and understand His Divine Love, Wisdom, etc… We are so limited in our abilities to accept and ration that kind of "Agape Love".
Jesus has taught us that it is all about the heart and I will tell you that it has been my experience, most homosexual men and women have the kindest, most loving hearts I know…all good, all caring and most giving so again I say, it is the sin He hates, not the person and if He comes to judge the heart's of men looking for whose is pure, good, loving, kind and of Him, along with for those which are cold, unforgiving, and well, just not of Him or have become corrupted beyond the point of no return, isn't that what will stand out and isn't He giving them/us all a last chance? So, He will be forgiving the "sin" but loving, saving and reconciling back to the "sinner" back to Himself?
I in no way meant to offend any reader here but sometimes we do not have a choice on which subject we talk about and share. I was not expecting this topic but the Lord was. All the answers to all our questions are about to be answered and the most important event for a person to attend, is about to start and this my friends, is the most important decision one faces in life…is Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Messiah and Our Savior? If you know this answer to be yes as that is the truth, why is it taking so long to admit it to Him and all in your life? Time is out now, no more lukewarm, in the middle, riding the fence, it's time to chose so are you in or are you out? Let the Lord handle everything else, including who He can love and who He doesn't love. Remember, He is LOVE COMING DOWN!

Cable TV, DTH ops against capping of carriage fee paid by broadcasters - nairrk - 11-13-2019
MUMBAI: Digital cable and direct to home (DTH) platforms are against the capping of amount of carriage fee that a broadcaster is required to pay to a distribution platform operator (DPO).
In their submission to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the digital cable and DTH operators have asserted that the DPOs have not misused the flexibility of defining the target market for determining carriage fee.
The All India Digital Cable Federation (AIDCF) has submitted that its members have aligned coverage area with the head-end and have declared such area (State) as target market.
"The declaration of target market comprising potential subscribers who would be enjoying the services rendered by the distributors, forms an important aspect of their marketing plans and any restriction on the same would stand in the way of effective retransmission of channels to subscribers and would also curb the fundamental right of the DPOs to carry business freely," AIDCF submitted.
It further stated that the carriage fee under the new regulatory framework has been appropriately determined and the same needs no revision. It added that the framework in its current form with respect to the concept of carriage fee aids in effective implementation of principle of 'must carry'.
"However, it is pertinent to mention that as of today, only few of the Broadcasters have approached us for the carriage of the channel through the said Agreement and the same speaks volume about the very intentions of the Broadcasters.
DTH operators Dish TV, Tata Sky, and Bharti Telemedia have stated that there is no reason to define the Target Market for DTH since it is a Pan-India service provider unlike digital cable.
Bharti Telemedia has suggested that the flexibility to decide on the Target Market should be extended and allowed between the Broadcaster and the Distributor as per their mutual agreement and such terms can be captured in the interconnect agreement to bring transparency.
On the capping of carriage fee, Dish TV stated that the issue of carriage fee should always be kept at forbearance as it is a matter between a broadcaster and a DPO. It also pointed out that the regulator has already put a cap of meagre 20 paisa per subscriber in case of a channel seeking placement on the DPOs platform.
"Now further cap on the said carriage fee merely on the basis of the complaints made by the regional channels does not find any logic as the subscriber base of a DTH operator is not limited to any particular region unlike a local MSO," it added.
Bharti Telemedia stated that a DTH operator should be allowed to recover its capital investments from the broadcasters since there is a significant operating expenditure involved in creating the infrastructure for carrying the channels.
Tata Sky averred that the the previous regulatory regime was able to manage the differing aspirations of all the broadcasters through a mutually negotiated settlement because of forbearance.
It has requested TRAI to do away with any kind of prescriptive carriage fee or for that matter any kind of caps. Further, it noted that the regulations should allow for the resumption of mutually negotiated agreements.
On the issue of determining the cost of carrying a channel, AIDCF stated that the cost of carrying a channel may be determined after taking into consideration the OPEX and CAPEX of the DPOs. "However, the Authority after due consideration and consultation has appropriately fixed the carriage fee and therefore the same needs no intervention," it stated.
Dish TV stated that there is no reason for any change in the prescribed provision of 20 paisa per subscriber in case of DTH operators while Tata Sky is in favour de-regulating carriage fee price.
On the misuse of right granted to DPO to not carry channels having less than 5% subscriber base, AIDCF stated that the clause should be retained as the time period of six consecutive months is sufficient enough to ascertain whether or not a channel is being well received and/ or demanded by the subscribers. Further, the same also saves the distributors the unnecessary costs associated with carrying unpopular channels.
Tata Sky noted that the DTH operators have a limited bandwidth capacity. It also argued that any regulatory mechanism which empowers broadcasters to cling on to a DPOs platform irrespective of the market conditions of popularity, subscription, payments etc. would be unfair towards the platfollus. The negative impact will be more impactful on DTH operators who have a finite carrying capacity.
"Break up of multiple regional target markets for a pan India DTH operator could lead to the operator being reduced to a regional channel operator, irrespective of its reach. As permitted under the old regime, the DTH Operators did not have the obligation of must carry. This was due to capacity constraints and it also gave freedom to the Operators to choose and carry the most optimal content catering to the pan national audience," it added.
Dish TV stated that the question is itself contradictory as the entire thrust of the authority behind issuance of the new regulatory framework was the fact that the non-popular or not so popular channels are being packaged with the leading and most popular channels of the broadcasters leading to the consumers pay for the channel which they do not want to watch.
The AIDCF as well as DTH operators have urged the TRAI against regulating the interconnection agreements such as placement, marketing or other agreement in any name.
AIDCF stated that any attempt to regulate agreements relating to placement, marketing etc. will curb the right of distributors to carry on business freely and would count as unnecessary incursion in their business affairs.
Tata Sky stated that the existing regulations have introduced complexities in the business-to-business interactions of DPOs with broadcasters. Forbearance is aligned to the actual market value of the offering, especially with respect to subscribers. We do not agree that the level playing field gets distorted under forbearance.
"Moreover, each broadcaster has differing needs, capabilities, and often caters to a different segment of the subscribers. It needs to be recognised that our industry is not just another `service' industry, but an industry ruled by 'content'. The current 'one size fits all' approach for Carriage fee has led to a market failure. Hence, we believe forbearance is the best way forward not just for Placement and Marketing but also for Carriage fee," it submitted.
Bharti Telemedia opined that the new framework has regulated the Reference Interconnection Agreement and has rightfully allowed forbearance on other contractual agreements including the marketing and promotion agreements.
"However to ensure that such forbearance is under check, the Authority has mandated the inclusion of any agreement, for any kind of fee for a channel, between two service providers as part of interconnection agreement which also needs to be reported to the Authority. Therefore, the Authority has not only ensured that the current incorporated provisions act as safeguard/s against potential misuse but they also bring the transparency."

After that horrible first attempt at Christmas, I started over again in February. This time, I decided to build my own wire frame from scratch. I picked up a spool of cheap steel wire from the hardware store. I made sure it was stiff enough that it would hold it's shape while I work.
I started with a hoop that fit comfortably around my head, like the band of a hat. I then glued an arc over the top of my head, joining the very front and the very back of the hoop. This would hold that hoop at the correct height on my head.
Once I had this basic interior size figured out, I could start building the exterior. Special note: After each session of work, I would test fit the helmet to make sure it still fit and was easy to put on and remove. This way, if anything was out of place, I could fix it before moving onto the next step.
I cut six wires for the horns, three for each. These I curved into the shape I wanted, and glued together. I kept the bottom ends long, to secure them to the base.
To keep their shape, I started at the tip of each horn, working down toward the base, gluing pieces of foam in between the wires, like spacers.
With the horns secure and somewhat solid in their shape, I glued them in place on the helmet. Using fabric to bridge some of the gaps, I glued everything together. The fabric provided strength where paper would not, but was more flexible than foam sheets.
With the basic shape now constructed out of wire, foam, and fabric, I could begin layering the paper mache.
The fronts of the horns were too angular, and I wanted to smooth them out. To do this, I cut strips of foam and glued them to the front face of each horn. This effectively rounded out the front without adding too much weight.
The next step is to keep layering paper mache over the wire/fabric/foam structure until the outer surface is smooth. More on that next time!

Well, I am exhausted! What a fantastic turnout for the North of England Children's Cancer Research Run, especially from the younger children. Almost half the school took part. Well done to everyone! Please make sure that any sponsor money and forms are handed in to the office at the earliest opportunity. Thank you also to Caroline's family for hosting a lovely post-run BBQ.
What a busy week we have had.
Year 6 SATS came and went. It was good fun sharing some time together before school for breakfast, everyone did their best in the tests, and now we can get back on with the rest of our learning.
We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Trinity Tots in Starfish class. It was lovely to show off our amazing environment and share toys. It was also good to see all our Starfish regulars teaching the younger children our expectations in and around the classroom. Thank you to all the Trinity Tots that came, and we look forward to hosting you again next half-term.
Our new Schools Safeguarding Liaison Officer, from the Operation Encompass team at Northumbria Police, came to look round the school earlier in the week. You should be receiving a letter about some work that she is going to be starting to do in school.
Well done to Miss Thompson for completing her training to be a Key Stage 2 maths marker - despite having to spend her weekend in Leeds doing the training, I know that she feels it was worth it, to help our children negotiate the idiosyncrasies of the SATS papers.
This week is the last week before half-term. Miss Thompson is out for 2 days starting some Thrive training (supporting the social and emotional needs of the children) on Monday and Tuesday, so I will be working with the Orcas. Tuesday is parent lunch - if you can't remember if you have signed up or not please speak to Melissa. On Thursday Mrs Popay is out doing some training on Islam and Judaism, and I will be covering for her in Starfish class.
On Thursday Orcas are going to Alnwick Castle as part of their work on being British. Please ensure children come in in school uniform, with a backpack and water bottle. Packed lunches can be provided by school - just let us know if you would like one. If the weather is likely to be sunny please put suncream in their bags.
On Friday we are back down to the beach for our last beach school before half-term.

How does the pretrial release process work? When someone is arrested (in states that operate with commercial bail), a determination is made as to the type of retrial release that will be considered based on the severity of the charge. For low level offenses, defendants are often cited and relased or released on their own recognizance.

Furious Fiskerton residents have called on planners to help save their wildlife haven.
Developer JG Homes, of Bailgate, Lincoln, was refused permission to build 18 homes in The Close at the end of the summer.
The Fiskerton wildlife area and pond was opened by conservationist David Bellamy in 1999.
Although it had become overgrown, residents considered the area to be an important wildlife site.
The area attracted migrating birds, newts and dragonflies.
Now the pond has been bulldozed, and residents say the wildlife has fled.
JG Homes, which owns the land, was refused permission by West Lindsey District Council on the grounds of the site's environmental significance.
Village resident Ray Ricketts (60) said he felt powerless to stop developers shaping the countryside.
"It used to be a beautiful place that all the villagers enjoyed walking through," he added.
"They looked at all the different wildlife in the pond and the trees.
"Now it looks like a war zone and there seems to be no protection for us against these developers vandalising the countryside.
"Bulldozers came in and just drove straight through the pond, which completely destroyed it. There has also been a lot of tree clearance, not only the overgrown grass and scrub, but trees have been cut down as well."
Mark Carpenter (32), who lives just behind the area, in Holmfield, said: "It's obviously disappointing because it's destroyed what was there.
"But as long as they're not actually building on that piece of land they can do what they like.
"Now the pond has gone it cannot easily be replaced."
The district council put tree preservation orders on 15 trees after the planning application was refused.
Officers have investigated the site and say that none of the trees with orders on them have been touched, so there is nothing more it can do.
However, a spokesman did assure the Echo that clearing the site would not affect any further plans that could be submitted for it.
It is understood the district council sold the site to the developer for about £500,000.
There were originally six empty and derelict homes on the land.
The firm wants to demolish one of them, refurbish the rest and build 18 new properties.
The area has become overgrown since the council put it up for sale about 18 months ago.
Four letters of objection were received by the district council after planning application notices were posted around the village.
Andrew Cooke (38), of High Street, previously told the Echo he was not totally against the development, but that his main concern was the wildlife.
However, Peter Houlden (74), a resident of The Crescent, said he felt housing on the site would make it look much tidier.
He said: "As far as I'm concerned the sooner they get planning permission sorted out and get the housing the better.
"It would make the site a lot cleaner looking.
"The builders have been in and flattened it out and flattened the pond in.
"The only problem was that when they filled the pond in they moved the rats and I've seen a few of them coming up The Crescent."
Parish councillor Henry Lewis (68) said the loss of the pond was "terrible".
JG Homes declined to comment when contacted by the Lincolnshire Echo.

Volkan Oezdemir has always made it known that he has "No Time," but what you may not be aware of is that he has no respect for those who do.
One such person is Johnny Walker. Johnny Walker is off to a very fast start with a 3-0 UFC record, all finishes, and some have already considered Johnny Walker to be a potential challenger to Jon Jones as soon as by year's end. But the 26-year-old feels he has no reason to rush but plenty of reasons to wait:
"I have to take my time, get more experience, and maybe in two years, I'm capable of a title shot as well," Walker told Cageside Press last month.
"I want to make sure, when I be there, I hold the belt for a long time. I have to get more experience.
"I'm in no rush. I'm twenty-six, I have time. Give me the names, send me location, I'm ready."
Volkan Oezdemir is aware of Johnny Walker's career approach, and he has no patience for those who have patience:
"I understand that it's smart, but for me it's all about risk and reward," Oezdemir told Bloody Elbow. "If you are willing to go out there and prove you are the best, you don't want to take time off and be all about security. I think that's a coward's move. If you really want to prove you're the best you should just f—king do it."
Volkan Oezdemir is no stranger to meteoric rises, and when an opportunity presented itself to receive a world title shot, he hopped at it. But Johnny Walker could point to Oezdemir's failure to win the title after receiving the shot only three fights into his UFC career as an example of why it's best to be patient. With a victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC London tomorrow, it is very possible that Volkan Oezdemir will have an opportunity to extend Johnny Walker's waiting time for a title shot by handing Walker his first UFC loss and inch closer to receiving a second world title opportunity for himself.
Do you agree with Volkan Oezdemir? Is Johnny Walker's approach to intentionally getting more experience before seeking a title shot a coward's move?

A Field of Consciousness (FOC) in New Hampshire. YES. I had imagined that FOC reach into New Hampshire and Southern Maine. This is the first one I found in New Hampshire. VERY NICE!
The FOC is located at Moody Park, in Claremont, New Hampshire. Claremont is just south of Lebanon, New Hampshire where Phineas Quimby was born. Quimby is credited for being the guiding force in creating the New Thought Movement--Law of Attraction, the power of thoughts....The Unity Church is part of the New Thought Movement.
The FOC is to your right as you enter the park in the first picnic area.
Jaeda Bear (black dog) and Pepper are sitting in the center of the FOC which is about 25 feet in diameter. Notice the drop in the land (a ravine) behind the dogs.
Although there is not much vibrancy to the FOC it could be something very nice with a little prayer and meditation on it. But, it's still a FOC and its in New Hampshire. Excellent!

IFA 2018 Opens with Commitment to Leadership through Co-Innovation
Top consumer electronics and home appliance brands have gathered in Berlin for IFA 2018, and this year promises to be a wide-ranging display of smart innovations. Organizers identified some of the major trends that will be on display this year, including connected home devices, artificial intelligence, TVs with improved display technology, and advanced connected electric appliances.
As the show opens, IFA reported another year of completely sold out exhibit space. IFA 2018 will feature 1,814 exhibitors occupying two exhibition areas that cover 161,200 square meters (roughly 1.74 million square feet). The space covers the entire Messe Berlin Exhibition Grounds as well as the STATION Berlin venue, which holds the IFA Global Markets—a trade visitors only showcase of OEMs and ODMs.
"What makes IFA special is that it's a place for many different industries—each with their expert knowledge—to share, discuss and develop their innovation and vision," Messe Berlin CEO Dr. Christian Göke said in a statement. "Nowadays, hardly any company can innovate without partners, alliances or open eco-systems. That brings a new mindset and heralds the Age of Co-innovation."

|July 15, 1805
|Outside US
|Constitution of 1805, Haiti
|"Latin America," Texas Wesleyan University
|3.5 (10 votes)
The 1805 Constitution of Hayti (Haiti) restructured the civil liberties of the people, defined the government's role, and provided the foundation for equality and sovereignty to a subjugated people self-determined to form social-autonomy. "Published in The New York Evening Post, on July 15, 1805 Haiti's constitution illustrated a unique type of liberation". To the once enslaved Caribbean island, it meant more than just gaining self-government. Liberty meant protecting civility, valuing honor, and creating freedom. Gained by way of legalization the nation experienced for the first time the true meaning of what it meant to be free.
"Originally known as Santa Domingo, and once a part of the Dominican Republic", Haiti's historical roots were sowed by Spanish explores, but grew under French rule. Because of its complex history, the Caribbean island structured their legal charter carefully. It specifically outlined and defined state authority while listing the topics by degrees of importance. Beginning with the declaration for independence and concluding with explicit laws meant to regulate government official and citizens alike, the Haitian's constitution reflects its unique history.
The first three articles attested to the manuscript's cautious wording. Article one of the document states, "The people inhabiting the island formerly called St. Domingo, hereby agree to form themselves into a free state sovereign and independent of any other power in the universe, under the name of empire Hayti." In article two, the text revealed the region enslaved history. It declared, "Slavery is forever abolished". Article three recognized the make-up of the people, avowing, "The Citizens of Hayti are brothers at home; equality in the eyes of the law is incontestably acknowledge, and there cannot exist any titles, advantages, or privileges, other than those necessarily resulting from the consideration and reward of services rendered to liberty and independence."
The makers of this document seemed to advocate for more than just independence. They sought to define and legalize human decency. Freedom, for the people of the Caribbean island of Haiti, was more than just liberty - it was the legalization of morality.


text: Tapping into the Lucrative Cannabis Logistics Market October 08, 2019 - Baystreet.ca Supply chain logistics can be a handful for any sector, but the cannabis industry faces its own set of challenges when it comes to the safe transport of its products. In the beginning, cannabis producers greatly underestimated the infrastructure needed to fulfil its orders, leading to shipping delays on products. And that was just one barrier. While dried cannabis flower can be easily transported via Canada Post and CBD can be sent through United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:UPS), when it comes to ensuring the safety of fragile cannabis plantlets, greater precautions must be taken. There is also the issue with security during transport, which is where companies like 3 Sixty Secure Corp (CSE:SAFE) (OTCQB:SAYFF). Major companies like XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) have the opportunity to capture significant market share by ensuring the delivery and security of cannabis transports, however, it is smaller tech companies like TruTrace Technologies Inc (CSE:TTT) (OTCMKTS:TTTSF) and LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF) who have already swooped in to help cannabis companies. Medical cannabis verification company TruTrace Technologies Inc (CSE:TTT) (OTCMKTS:TTTSF) has developed a blockchain-secured platform to track intellectual property (IP) for cannabis and provides DNA-based cannabis product validation. The company's seed-to-sale tracking services modernize the inventory tracking system and also provide medical cannabis customers with details about lab testing results and the cultivar. Meanwhile, LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF) is bringing its flagship 1SHIFT Logistics platform to the cannabis industry via a strategic go-to market alliance with Segra International, a cannabis agriculture technology company. Solving Cannabis Transportation Barriers Segra International specializes in plant tissue culture and produces disease-free, robust and true-to-type cannabis plantlets which it ships to licensed producers globally. The company has teamed up with LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF) to utilize its 1SHIFT Logistics software to gain access to its GPS and sensory capabilities, allowing Segra to know exactly where the plantlets are and provide real-time and historical temperature readouts and total travel time logs. Brookdale, one of Canada's leading nurseries has already adopted the 1SHIFT platform and now with Segra, extending LiteLink's reach from nursery plants to cannabis was a natural fit. These capabilities will improve Segra's ability to manage the quality of its products as well as provide real-time updates to awaiting customers, which includes some of the top Canadian licensed producers. The alliance comes at a perfect time for Segra as it prepares to launch Canada's first commercial cannabis nursery. LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF)'s software capabilities will provide the company with a critical layer to its quality assurance program and provide both Segra and its client's peace of mind. The trial with Segra for the transportation of its cannabis plantlets is only the beginning for LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF) and its move into the cannabis tracking industry. What's more, its 1SHIFT Platform's new GPS and sensory capabilities can be applied in the cannabis industry as well as within any industry that requires the shipment of sensitive materials - from live products to plants to perishable food items. TruTrace Technologies Inc (CSE:TTT) (OTCMKTS:TTTSF) is also working with Segra International, signing a letter of intent (LOI) in August to make Segra its primary genetics verification provider. As part of the LOI, Segra would be the lead genetics partner in a medical cannabis verification pilot program between TruTrace and Shoppers Drug Mart. Segra's role will involve extracting DNA from cannabis samples processed at its Genotyping and Molecular Lab Services Division and providing unique DNA fingerprint codes, allowing for objective confirmation that as-supplied lots of cannabis remain isogenically pure to the original reference material. Transporting Cannabis Safely From Point A to Point B Segra International has already signed on with four major Canadian LPs to provide its plant micropropagation services to help those companies ramp up production. Prior to teaming up with LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF), however, Segra relied on third-parties to transport insulated boxes containing up to 10,000 cannabis plantlets globally. With a shelf life of only four days, these cannabis plantlets are under a time crunch to get from point A to point B. They are also subject to potential temperature changes while being transported. Luckily, with LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF)'s logistics software, Segra and its clients can rest-assured the plantlets will be closely monitored through real-time tracking, tracing and key temperature sensors to improve visibility significantly. Having this technology in place will help drive out the best customer experience, potentially lower insurance costs through visibility and build history trends of data across different geographical locations to improve the logistics process. When it comes to secure transportation, 3 Sixty Secure Corp (CSE:SAFE) (OTCQB:SAYFF) is leading the charge. The company provides numerous security services to LPs, including security assessments and design at the retail and production levels, on- and off-site monitoring of facilities and secure vehicle and air transport. The company took its capabilities a step further by signing a partnership with Avante Logixx, to provide clients with advanced video surveillance with closed-circuit TV services. To date, 3 Sixty Secure Corp (CSE:SAFE) (OTCQB:SAYFF) has signed on over 60 LPs including Aphria, Canopy Growth Corp, and Tilray. Meanwhile, companies shipping CBD products can opt to use United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:UPS) to get their products from point A to point B, but the company strictly prohibits the shipment of any products containing marijuana or CBD originating from a marijuana dispensary. The Most Reliable Tracking and Tracing Software for the Cannabis Industry Prior to moving into the cannabis industry, the LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF) team focused on perfecting its 1SHIFT logistics platform to solve fragmented and outdated technology problems in the logistics and create a true end-to-end logistics solution. The platform utilizes several innovative technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, predictive analytics, blockchain, GPS tracking. The current 1SHIFT Platform has been designed with digital tracking, notifications, automatic shipments, and exception and problem management all from a mobile device. Now, with the integration of temperature sensors, the applications for LiteLink Technologies Inc. (CSE:LLT) (OTC:LLNKF)'s 1SHIFT platform are seemingly endless.

Hi! Myself Karan Singh Chauhan as an 20 years old engineering student and a part time blogger as well. Blogging is my passion and I jumped into it in late 2010 just for fun and to increase my popularity worldwide. At that time, I was in 12th class as a non-medical student. I had a lot of knowledge about Computer in the field of basics, software, hardware and web designing etc because from 6th class he started doing extra courses of it. And from this, my life changed dramatically and gets involved in the world of Blogging. Giving Special thanks to my God and Blogger (WordPress later on) which gives me the platform to express myself in front of the whole world by choosing this way Out.

Now a days I am currently receiving more than 50,000 visitors per month and increasing day by day. To be Honest, I monetize my blog traffic with Google AdSense, Affiliate Marketing, Paid Posts and by offering WordPress Services etc. In terms of Affiliate Marketing, I promote products like all paid WordPress plugins include SEOPressor, Keyword Winner etc, Themes like Genesis and also recommends popular web Hosting providers like BlueHost and Hostgator. This all would make up and combine together to give me more than 1000$ a month. WoW!
For AdSense, I only received 3 checks before and with the almighty of God, I received tons of request of Guest Posting everyday at my blog.
4.) What do you know now that you wish you knew when you first started blogging?
Well this is a great question, there are many things which I know now but never before:
1. Starting with the Hacking niche
Yes, its true. My first blog is KrackoWorld which aims at providing tutorials related to Ethical Hacking, Computer Security Tips, Cracked Software's and many more. I don't say this is my biggest mistake of Blogging Career as it teaches me lot of things about hacking and Security but in terms of Money….that blog suffers with no sponsors, adsense etc. In 2011, I also wrote my ebook on "Power of Hacking" which till today sold out more than 100 copies successfully.
2. Going Crazy with the backlinks
This is my second mistake in my life, after getting Page Rank 2.0 for my blog I just got crazy and started to build backlinks through software's, directories submission etc and targeting only one anchor text, so that's all Google Penguin punish me later on. Now due to this, my blog traffic slips and hard to find it on Google. Update- Now my Blogging Ways blog moved to .net extension and works everything fine on it.

Hm… Actually there are lots of blog which I daily visit but these are my top 3 favorite one-
1. ShoutmeLoud

6.) Can you give us three recommended tools/services that you use with your blogging?
Well It's pretty simple when it comes to your own blogging, probably because I use so many tools and these 3 are very common among all.
1. Long Tail Pro – This tool also suites best for your Niche Sites and ideal for ranking No.1 for specific keyword. Long tail Pro was created by Spencer Haws at NichePursuits and available at premium terms. It allows the user to quickly generate hundreds or thousands of unique long tail keywords based on one or multiple root keywords at once. According to me, its must for every blogger and proved to be a great alternative to Market Samurai which was too slow.
2. Genesis Framework with all its Plugins – Well I just say that Genesis Framework suites best for your WP blog functionality and look wise. All Studiopress child themes are powered by Genesis Framework and built with taking SEO and design into consideration. I think After installing WordPress and for a new blog, Genesis is his/her first priority. This framework is designed by Copyblogger Media and now a days powering more than 86,000 WEBSITE OWNERS. The Genesis Framework empowers you to quickly and easily build incredible websites with WordPress in minutes.
3. SEOPressor – Well SEOPressor is a great WP plugin known for his on-page optimization and lots of more features like Over Optimization check, Rich snippets, Social SEO, LSI keywords etc. Now its new version V5 just got better and this plugin saves you from all Google Algorithms too. That I why I highly recommend it to you.

There are 5 rules for Blogging according to me, so Just follow up in order to Succeed-
1. Don't Give Up
2. Don't think of Making Money Overnight
3. Have Patience
4. Believe in Yourself
5. Read Stories of Successful Entrepreneurs
8.) What's the best advice or tip you've discovered about blogging since getting started?
One thing I definitely learned is that Go slow, Go right, Go better, success will comes towards you! He He! This is my own quote, never mind. Remember If you have your own thoughts, your goal will be achieved faster. The only time you should care about what anybody else thinks, is if you've built up a very loyal audience who trusts you a lot.
9.) If you only had $100 to start a new blog, how would you use it?
First of all I would go for a niche matching friendly domain name and its Web Hosting shared package from a good website.

Ken Whisenhunt returns as Chargers OC
Some decisions make too much sense not to be made.
A Chargers-Ken Whisenhunt reunion qualified.
The franchise has a new offensive coordinator, and it's the old one, sources said Wednesday. Whisenhunt is back after having spent 2013 in San Diego. The team finished with the NFL's fifth-ranked offense that year. Notably, the Chargers ran the football with relative consistency, something that has proven to be a struggle in the two seasons since Whisenhunt left to become the Titans' head coach.
Whisenhunt was fired by Tennessee last November.
He became a clear-cut candidate to return last week, as the Chargers moved on from Frank Reich, his successor.
The Chargers averaged 3.5 yards per carry in 2015, last in the NFL, after averaging 3.4 yards in 2014, ranking second to last. Running back Ryan Mathews had his most productive season under Whisenhunt, rushing for 1,255 yards. It also was the first 16-game year of Mathews' career.
To say coaching was the only factor behind the Chargers' recent ground-game struggles would be to overlook significant player personnel issues, issues that Whisenhunt's return will not single-handedly solve. But he has a strong relationship with quarterback Philip Rivers and coach Mike McCoy, and he's someone whose expertise the Chargers trust as they explore this offseason how to build a steady ground game.
Melvin Gordon, a 2015 first-round draft pick, will be the centerpiece.
He had 169 carries for 600 yards and six fumbles as a rookie. It was a grind for Gordon, who did not score in his 13 games and, by many accounts, saw his confidence level decrease over the course of the year. He was uncomfortable running out of the shotgun formation, a foreign concept from his Wisconsin career. When the Chargers ran power concepts, they often were reminded why they didn't more often. Simply, they weren't built that way, be it their offensive line, blocking tight ends or lack of a true fullback on the roster.
Whisenhunt's return won't change that.
But the team believes it will be a start.
Along with Reich, the team dismissed its offensive line coach, tight ends coach, wide receivers coach, assistant offensive line coach and defensive line coach. Those vacancies remain. Mike Nolan, the Chargers' linebackers coach, stepped down to explore other opportunities, the team announced Tuesday. Former Jaguars defensive coordinator Bob Babich was named his replacement.
