I would want to witness the Egypt era when the pyramids were built.

With many theories going on, many films made on how the Pyramids came into being. I will want to witness it for my self. Egypt being called the cradle of civilization means there will be many things for me to see if I could witness the old Egypt.

I'm almost indoors all through the day except something very serious pulls me out of my room. How do I build vibes to always get me out of my room.?

joyce-okpobo (59) · 6 years ago

I'm not an anti-social person but I lack this vibe to want to go out of my room. I enjoy my company all by myself. Sometimes I get bored, most times I don't. Is something wrong with me? How do I get out of this?

jlordc (69) · 6 years ago

As someone who is also somewhat "introverted" and spend most of his time indoors just playing some games and watching some tvshows/anime, what made me go outside was an outgoing person who was willing to drag me out of my comfort zone. :)

At first, I honestly don't like it as I was not used being under the sun and even walking places (going around the mall is tiring). But over time, I kind of long it. I think what you really need is a person willing to teach you the world outside your room. :)

What you need is to invite friends in first. Let them fill you and your room with energy. Then when you start enjoying it, they leave. This will make you long for it, miss it and eventually crave it. Then you see them flexing outside and you want it too. So you take those baby steps out of your room and into the world.

Do you like being outside at all? Or think you might be open to it? I've found, at times when it's hard to get myself out of the house, as soon as I do I actually enjoy it very much and end up spending much more time out of the house than I had intended to. Sometimes all it takes is the initial process of walking out the door.

For instance, although I greatly prefer to make coffee at home, I've often made it a habit to go to a local place that's deserving of support to fill my mug rather than just making it at home. Financially, it's pretty stupid. But it does make me leave the house as I usually want that coffee pretty first thing. Usually the thought of it is dreadful, but then when I actually embark on the mission I really enjoy it! I often will end up extending my coffee outing long after I had planned on returning.

I guess all I'm trying to say is you gotta find something to get you outta the house. I lived with a bunch of kids I didn't know and who were pretty anti-social this summer and a lot of my friends had moved out of town. I hated going "out" and socializing with random people but then a bar/arcade opened and I started to go there every day. It was like a compromise to me- I was around people and would occasionally find myself in conversation; but I could also just play video games and drink a few cheap beers.

Would Musing still thrive if Quora came out with its own ICO?

kwadjobonsu (66) · 6 years ago

akekemoh (54) · 6 years ago

I'm pretty sure musing would still thrive even if that happened. Yes musing and Quora serve the same purpose, but they are built on completely different platforms. Musing already has its own following and brand and I believe that when the next hardfork comes out, it's going to make it so much easier for people to join musing.

As far as I'm concerned Musing can only get better from this point.

namasico (7) · 6 years ago

Yeah musing.io will still really thrive because this platform is built on the steem blockchain and we steem

as rewards,,steem is a cryptocurrency that will also have a great feature and would enable users of this platform to be able to keep earning money,,but i also feel it would

be very wonderful if this platform can create their own token so that they can also benefit from the SMT that will

be lanched during first quarter of 2019,,but i am sure that if quora creates its own ICO it will not stop musing.io from being successful continously....

tobias-g (69) · 6 years ago

This is an interesting question and I think the actual outcome would be dependent on a few different scenarios.

1. Would Musing survive if Quora released it's own Crypto on Ethereum or another blockchain?

In the scenario where Quora released their own cryptocurrency on a blockchain that wasn't Steem I think then it's highly likely/guaranteed that Musing would survive, I believe currently that Musing's user base is quite different from the Quora user base. I believe both platforms would exist in the same way we see now, you would use Quora if you currently use Quora and you would use Musing if you currently use Musing. Some Musing users may go and try an earn Quora too, but I think overall a lot of users who currently use the Steem blockchain would prefer to stay using Musing.

2. Would Musing survive if Quora released an SMT?

Putting aside the massive rewrite Quora would need to do in order to work on the Steem blockchain and overall huge changes to their user experience. If Quora were to create their own SMT I believe that it would be harder to predict if Musing would survive, this is because Quora could easily become the go-to question and answer platform on the Steem blockchain overnight, their current user base is already huge and they would be able to onboard thousands of people to the Steem blockchain almost instantly. The big question would be how would Musing differentiate themselves from Quora, currently Musing doesn't show ads and everything is immutable. We would assume that Quora would do the same if they released an SMT.

I think the hard part going forward would be on-boarding new users, I believe the early adopters of Musing would stay, but I think it would be harder to onboard new users with such a big, well-established competitor. Of course, Musing may still tick along and have enough users to keep moving forward, but I believe the overall growth of the platform might be somewhat compromised in this scenario.

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago

They would need to raise an additional round to fund the creation of all those accounts if they were to launch a SMT. LOL

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago (edited)

As a venture capital backed company it is highly unlikely that Quora could possibly ever consider tokenization. Not unless, first, they would convince the board of directors to dilute their holdings or alternatively buy back all shares.

Many companies in a later stage of evolution, and thus finances, have not always sufficient shares available to raise more funds and need to create new shares. This can only be approved by the Board of Directors, many of which also are often larger shareholders.

The biggest question to be asked here is “How much shares, thus tokens, could Quora issue and at what price, in order to satisfy its existing investors?”.

That would be one of the largest ICOs yet because Quora is currently valued at $1.8bn. Obviously, that valuation is what existing investors would expect to see in the ICO - and preferably even more - in order to be satisfied with the operation. Yet, at that point they enter a volatile market, a market which so far hasn’t yet proven any genuine valuation mechanics beyond BTC dominance.

If you look round you will note that many investors do not invest in tokens, but in teams. They invest in a company, and that company may hold tokens (which may even be defined in the term sheet) but the more traditional - and larger investors - will not invest by buying tokens. Instead they will give the company money to grow and scale. So-called runway.

The cryptomarket is still too volatile and unregulated for investors to touch it, especially considerations that most venture capital funds are not the money of the investors themselves. More of than not they are managers of funds, funds provided by backers. Many funds on Sandhill Road are backed by for example the country of Norway as well as private rich people and also hedge fund managers, who back the VC funds with funds they manage.

Would Musing still thrive?

It’s slightly too early to say that because Musing is too young and while it already has momentum it’s definitely not yet at the level of “thriving”.

The thing about Musing.io is that it is one of the many platforms and applications built on top of the Steem blockchain. The more Steem grows the more Musing grows, and as we all know Steem has so many potentials to go big with all the dapps and platforms being built on top of it almost weekly.

If ever Quora releases it's own ICO, that token will only be used solely for Quora. Sure Quora has many users as of now compared to Musing, but when Steem starts to gain momentum and starts to gain mass adoption because of how apps are interconnected to each other through the power of blockchain, users can just easily go back and forth between apps and platforms including Musing.

So yeah, Musing will thrive even if Quora came out with its own ICO.

How/what do you tell to people to bring them on STEEM blockchain?

whack.science (71) · 6 years ago

I tell them that if they value their time, they should come here. I think this makes them think about it more deeply.

What do you tell them, what is your approach?

cryptosharon (69) · 6 years ago

There are many things that can bring people to Steem, but one of the most common things that people say is

"do you use Reddit or 4chan or some other social website? Do you like it? Who earns money from your use?"

The answer is usually "the company that owns it".

There, you can say that there is a place where if you participate, you get money, and it's just a social network with many facets, including clones to Youtube (DTube - DLive for videos), Twitch (DLive for streams), Instagram (Steepshot for pictures), etc., which allow you to share your things, comment, and earn money from every vote you get and many other things.

There is also the approach of "it's a strong market that will rise but it's in its low point so you should buy". People love pre-bull markets.

You can also invite people to do whatever they do (write, record things, take pictures) but post them on Steem for a few extra cents of income and in order to promote an open-source community that is trying to make the world more profitable for the people, without middlemen handling the money that is made out of every interaction.

culgin (71) · 6 years ago

I think there are generally 3 groups of people that we need to bring more to the Steem platform. And to each of them, we need to pitch different benefits of the platform.

First and most importantly, we have the content creators or authors. Good authors are the foundation of the platform and Steem will be nothing without them. The key selling point for authors is that Steem offers rewards for content. Though it may be hard to be noticed among the tens of thousands of accounts, every cent still counts. If we can sell this idea to aspiring bloggers, who find it hard to survive through the advertising/affiliate marketing methods, then we have a strong case to draw them to this platform. In addition, with @SteemPress, existing WordPress users can be easily ported over. So why not?

Next, we have the investors. They are necessary to provide support for STEEM price. We are still not at a state where Steemians are able to buy their daily necessities with STEEM, hence the value of STEEM in USD is important. In order to attract investors, we need to educate them on the strength of the STEEM platform from the technical perspective. @timcliff had a very good article on this and I shall not repeat. Link below,

Finally, I think there is a group of users that are still overlooked. I think they are the businesses. Steem platform is perfect for big or small businesses to boost their online presence. Think about this, by posting one article, the business is actually getting audiences from at least 3 sites (e.g. Steemit, Busy and Steempeak). These sites are most of the time having a higher rank on Google search than their own business website. In addition, Steem platform is also great to crowdsource for content. By offering some rewards in STEEM, businesses can get fresh content and marketing materials from Steemians all over the world!

In summary, if we can grow all 3 user base, I think Steem will easily be the top 20 crypto if not the top 10.

First of all I explain them a bot about blockchian if they haven't heard of and especially about Steem, the blockchian, then I explain them what a cryptocurrency is, how are they used and exchanged and so on.

Then I show them my blog with examples of my posts, interactions and how does the blog works. I make them also some analogies with other blogging platforms or social media platforms. I also explain them the benefits of using Steem in comparison with other platforms.

I usually explain more of my experience on Steemit rather than letting them to read the trending page and get the wrong idea about how things work with Steem. Of course, when tackling this topic I mention also about bit bots, upvotes and reputation score.

The main idea is that Steem is the best blogging/social media platform built on a blockchain that rewards users, through upvotes, with Steem tokens. Plus I always encourage them to focus on quality rather than quantity and engage as much as possible with other users.

zoneboy (69) · 6 years ago

When introducing steemit to new users, what I tell them is **they can earn for doing the same thing they do on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and so on**. You see many people show interest. They immediately want to sign up.

I then go on to explain how steemit works for them. How they can be a passive investor and make their steempower work for them or make posts and earn from both author and curation rewards. For me, I think this is the simplest way to explain steemit to a new user and get the person to sign up immediately.

WWhat holds Steem back from top 20 crypto in CMC?

joythewanderer (78) · 6 years ago

We are quite aware that Steem is being underestimated, with so many dapps and activities. Then what holds it back from being top cryptocurrencies?

$0.72

culgin (71) · 6 years ago

Currently the 20th crypto is at about $600m market cap. For Steem to enter the top 20, it will need to at least increase its market cap by 3 folds and the other crypto need to remain the same or weaken.

As a Steemian, I can clearly see the potential of the STEEM platform. We have 50,000 active accounts and growing. There are tens or hundreds of dApps. It is really exciting.

In my opinion, the key reason why there isn't enough money flowing into the STEEM platform is because people haven't recognize the business use case of STEEM.

First of all, STEEM platform can be used as a blogging platform for any company. The cool thing about blogging on STEEM is that one article is posted across multiple sites (e.g. Steemit, Busy and Steempeak). This is actually quite good in improving the online presence of a business.

In addition, STEEM platform is also a perfect place to harness crowd wisdom for crowdsourcing and crowd prediction. These are all actual use cases that are of value to the real business world. We have no lack of good creators on STEEM, but more people need to know that.

In essence, I think we lack marketing and that was why @timcliff's Steem Blast Day got me quite excited. Though it didn't seem to have worked well enough, it was still good effort and every Steemian should play his/her part to spread the word to the rest of the world.

I believe that when the SMT is launched it would make the Dapps to become more popular and attractive and

that would attract more investors to the steem blockchain and it will increase the faith of the previous investors on the steem blockchain...

What makes a cryptocurrency to rank higher on cmc is the market capitalization and the more the

cryptocurrency have a high market capitalization then rhe more it will keep ranking high on coinmarketcap,,,so what is holding back steem from getting to the top 20

cryptocurrency on coinmarketcap is that steem market capitalization is lower compared to the market capitalization of each cryptocurrencies at the top 20....if

steem gets an increased massive investments and its market capitalization booms very high then it would make steem to reach top 20 or even top 10 too....

The rival between the United States and North Korea which mentions nuclear weapons in the media, apparently has an impact on the Bitcoin exchange rate.

Last weekend, the price of one Bitcoin was closed equivalent to 4,224 US dollars or around Rp56 million. In the beginning of this week, he even touched the figure of 4,400 US dollars or equivalent to Rp58 million. Investors in financial markets turned out to prefer challenging investments in crypto aka digital currencies like Bitcoin, rather than investing in safe havens such as gold or US government bonds.

Bitcoin, with market capitalization for 71.5 billion US dollars or equivalent to Rp954 trillion (as of August 15, 2017), is indeed the largest crypto in the world until now. He is known as the "father" of all crypto, because it is present as the first decentralized digital currency. But, not everyone knows that Bitcoin is not the only crypto available. At least, from those noted by CoinMarketcap, a crypto exchange site, there are 848 other crypto, including Bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin came first in 2009. Two years later, Litecoin was present as a competitor. In March 2015, hundreds of crypto later followed. They present with their respective strengths, especially in security breakthroughs.

Friendship is among the most important relationship we will have our life. Friendship means being able to say anything. Friendship means honest to tell anything to each other no matter what the cost. We all need friends in the life. A friend is only the person who with whom one has a bond of mutual affection.

A friend is a person who is willing to take me the way I am. Act of a friend should result in self respect, comfort, better attitude and self improvement. We are also so many friends but in all friends we want one true friend which is perfectly know that we are something to each other.

Best friend is bond one true relationship this is called friendship. If we are going through a tough time, at a time best friend is show that no matter how tough things it and always be ready for struggle in our problems.

What do you think about musing's new feature of sharing threads on twitter and facebook, is it a good advertising method for musing?

acesontop (71) · 6 years ago

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago

It’s a great feature because as the platform grows there will be ever more awesome questions, not necessarily Steem related, as well as brilliant answers.

Being able to share those specific questions or answers will be good for the platform.

It’s a good thing it has been released already before HF20, that way the team can totally focus on HF20 and later its own signup process. Sometimes it is good to get things done ahead of time. It won’t hurt and not having it on the task list anymore is a good thing because it will allow more focus on HF20 and further development.

jlordc (69) · 6 years ago

Personally, I think Musing should have released that feature after HF20.

It is indeed a good advertising method but let us not forget that the major problem Steem has that prevented it from gaining mass adoption is the Creation of New Accounts.

People who will see the shared thread-post will most likely create an account on Steem as there is no more enticing than earning $$$ just by answering questions online. However, those people will most likely be discouraged after waiting for 3days-1week to a month before Steemit Inc approved their account. Based on personal experience, People hate waiting.

But overall, I think it is a good advertising method to get more people into Musing.

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago

Medium disagrees with the “people do not like waiting” assessment.

Now one of the biggest, and highest quality, user generated content (UGC) platforms, Medium’s Beta was read only for most. Most people who joined and signed up in the first week needed to wait 4-6 months before they could actually create content.

Only people who already had a solid Twitter profile with decent following and interaction received access sooner.

Medium’s “extended private beta” (yet publicly visible) was an absolute success.

jlordc (69) · 6 years ago

That is actually a very good point considering if my "Creation of New Account" problem will be solved, this could open a room for potential abuse like creating one account for questions and one account to answer or something like that.

Waiting for accounts to be approved first for months might filter out those who are in here only for the sake of upvptes. So that is really good point. And seeing Medium is successfull as you say, I won't argue about the quality of their user base.

However, I still do think that people will hate to see a platform in which it takes weeks to get an account. People now wants instant things.

$0.00

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago

Exactly.

Theoretically, and ideally too, Musing appeals to a long form content audience. Those willing to put in the time to craft solid answers more than likely also accept having to wait.

That said... it’s only 3 weeks anymore and then there will be a plethora of options to create accounts within usually 24 hours.

People now want instant things

And people will have always less patience if we feed their wants. When I was 12 I wanted a HiFi setup and my parents told me to work for it. 12 Months later when I finally had saved the amount needed for the model I wanted... when we went to buy it my parents paid for it all. And the money saved went into my savings. :)

Medium has a lot of low quality content, obviously. SEO bottom feeders are everywhere. But Medium built its reputation on “shop window” content created mostly by social media “gurus” and bloggers they knew or could see had invested in profile building already.

A friend of mine signed up same day as I did and I got in 5 weeks, with 7k followers on Twitter and hundreds of replies every day. He got in after 8 months because only 200 followers. He got in when they quietly opened it up for everyone.

On a sunny day, the day as usual, I was sitting in front of a computer screen staring at the tabs in an open browser. Every now and then I type something that is quite important, even though it's actually just a status update on Twitter or Facebook. Behind me, there were several S3 students who were having fun chatting and discussing. Suddenly a question came from one of the female students, "What's the difference between Twitter and Facebook?"

My mind then drifted, thinking of various kinds of explanations that I could use as an answer to that question. There are some crazy answers that appear, here are one.

There are some fundamental differences about Facebook and Twitter. One that may be quite significant is the difference in the relationship between each individual in the two social networking sites. On Facebook, social relations between two individuals are commutative. That is, if A is friends with B, surely B is also friends with A. Unlike Facebook, Twitter uses the following-follower system. Understanding the following is the people we follow the status update, while followers are the people who follow our status updates. In this system, if the A follow (follows) the B, then the B does not have to always follow the A. The B can choose whoever he wants to follow the status update.

To make this difference look simpler, let's use graph theory to represent social relations between members on this social networking site. Before starting a graph representation, let's discuss a little theory about graphs.

Graph theory is used to learn about graphs, namely a mathematical structure that is used to model pair relationships between objects in a particular set of objects. A graph is a set of nodes or vertices and a set of edges or arcs that connect two specific nodes. Many things in this world can be modeled with graphs. The PageRank algorithm in Google's search engine is one example of the application of graphs.

There are two types of graphs. The first type is called an undirected graph which does not consider the difference between two nodes connected by an edge. The second type is called directed graph (digraph), which means that the edge is directed from one node to another. Let's look at the representation of social relations on Facebook and Twitter to end all this madness 😀

Friendships in Facebook can be modeled using non-directed graphs. This is due to the existence of an equal relationship between two people on this site as previously explained. So if the A is connected with B, then B is also connected to the A (commutative nature). Graph representation of social relations in Facebook can be seen in the picture below.

Examples of graph representation of social relations on Facebook

In the picture above we can see, A has a friendship with B. B has a friendship with A, C, and D. C has a friendship with B and D. Finally, D has a friendship with B and C.

Unlike Facebook, social relationships on Twitter can be represented as directed graphs, or digraphs. First, we assume that the direction on the edge shows the flow of information (or status updates) from one account to another. This means that if A follows B, then A will get status information from B, so that there will be a directed edge from B to A. For more details, see the following picture.

Examples of representations of social relations on Twitter

From the picture above, we can see some social relationships. The A follows B, or in other words A is a follower of B. B is a follower of C and D. C is a follower D. And finally D is a follower of B. On the edge connecting between B and D is

What is the best way to leave drug addiction without medication?

ranakatty (53) · 6 years ago

kutrulaju (54) · 6 years ago

1. Exercising

Start Life Right and healthy by exercising regularly. Because quitting drug addiction can make you more stressful, then don't make drugs run away again. Start practicing to divert your attention to sports. Joining in a fitness center or gym is a good solution. But even if you want to practice with a personal trainer it doesn't matter too.

2. Often meditate

Drug addiction is not trivial and to stop it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand because there are always obstacles. Meditate to make your heart and the mind is calmer because stress due to no longer taking drugs can often appear. When meditating, you will be better able to focus on body awareness and body breathing.

Just look for a safe, quiet and comfortable place to sit cross-legged. Then continue to close your eyes and focus on breathing for 10-15 minutes. Take a deep breath so that the heart and mind are far from anxiety. Attention that is fully placed on breathing will make the body more relaxed as well.

3. Doing Yoga

Practicing yoga is not only useful to make the body more flexible, elastic, strong and balanced. Yoga as a combination of meditation and exercise will be very helpful. Especially for drug addicts who are very intent on quitting their dependence. Stress will come very easily for those who break up with drugs. So from that, setting aside around 30 minutes a week several times for yoga is a good idea. The mind and body will become much fresher and better.

4. Steer clear of the place and environment of drug users

Many cases and experiences of drug addicts who fail to stop completely from their dependence. And this is due to still hanging out with drug user friends. Or play in an area full of drug users and alcoholics. You never know how strong your faith is. Especially Deciding to only quit drugs but not break up with the environment and these people.

5. Busying yourself with positive activities

6. Strengthen Faith

The key to strong faith is to worship a lot, pray and get closer to God. If you used to be addicted to drugs because of stress and medicine is your best escape. At this time God should be the main escape of all your problems. Through prayer and worship, the heart will be calmer.

Withdrawal consists of a series of symptoms, which in general terms are the opposite of those that appear when you are under the effect of the drug.

If the drug you use gives you euphoria and a lot of activity, in abstinence you will feel the opposite: decay and apathy.

If, on the other hand, what you consume leaves you with a feeling of relaxation and well-being, when you try to stop, you will feel agitation and irritability. Although it is true that in most withdrawal syndromes there is anxiety and irritability, apart of course from the intense desire to use.

Wanting to quit

If you finally find out that you do; that you do have an addiction and decide to quit, there is a very important step to begin with. It is always the first of all, and I assure you that without it you will not be able to leave it; and that is to want to leave it. But to really want to.

At this point, ask yourself a question: "Why do I want to give it up? Don't ask yourself why, but what for. In other words, look for your reasons for quitting drugs.

If the answer has to do with yourself, for example, "so that this doesn't destroy my life", "so that I can be healthy", "so that I can feel good about myself"... then it is very clear that you want to quit.

If, on the other hand, your answers have to do with others like, "so that my family can be proud of me", "so that my friends can see that I can,... then, you would have to rethink it; because it is not so clear.

If you intend to give up drugs for anyone other than yourself, to please anyone other than yourself, you probably won't get it.

Reinforce Your Decision

If you're completely determined to quit, there's an exercise that can further reinforce that decision.

Make a written list of all the inconveniences of using drugs for you. Don't write down very general things, such as "it destroys my life". Be more specific about what exactly is harmful to you. From how it affects your skin, your hair, your social relations, your family relations, your economy, etc.

On the other hand, make another list of the advantages of not consuming; a list as concrete as the previous one. Put both of them in a place where you can see them, and you can read them frequently.

Change your habits

Once you're on your way to your goal, it's a good idea to change your habits.

Schedule your days and even your hours so that they have nothing to do, or at least little to do with what you did before.

Don't frequent the places where you used drugs, don't frequent the people you used drugs with. Don't do it as a test to prove to yourself that you're over it; because in that case, the temptation will be too close and... why would you tempt luck?

Look for good companies

If possible, surround yourself with people who know and understand what you are going through and also with people who have already overcome it.

People who love you and value the effort you're making, such as family and friends, are the most appropriate people to seek support from.

Exercise

Practice physical exercise, this will help you to reduce the anxiety produced by stopping using drugs. Plus, you'll have a greater sense of taking care of your health, and that's motivating.

These are just a few tips that can help you if you decide to stop using drugs. But, you know that drug use alters many of the brain's functions, including self-control.

This means you may not be able to leave them alone. Ideally, you should go to a doctor who will refer you to the right professionals. It is usually necessary to go to therapy, both individual and group. Professionals will help you, but the firm decision not to use should be yours.

How to Overcome Drug Addiction Naturally

1. Intend to Stop

Everything that begins with an intention will certainly succeed, so decide to stop using drugs as the first step to overcome addiction. It doesn't matter if we can't do it just once. But it's important to keep making goals and having the intention to stop drugs from becoming real.

2. Record Risks / Side Effects of Drug Addiction

One more thing that must be noted, namely the harmful effects given to your life during drug consumption. By listing the side effects or risks, you will be automatically motivated to make behavior changes. Reading it again and again and again will provide motivation and strength to stop drugs. For example, by writing down what things are felt that have changed in life.

3. Exercising

Start living right and healthy by exercising regularly. Because quitting drug addiction can make you more stressful, don't make drugs run away again. Start practicing to divert your attention to sports. Joining a gym or gym is a good solution. But even if you want to practice with a personal trainer it doesn't matter too.

4. Ask for help from a nutritionist

There are many nutritional program references that can be found around us. Usually programs like this are actually offered through regional or sub-district hospitals where we live. There is no harm in considering this method because basically, we need to restore body health. The trick is to provide enough nutrients that the body needs through healthy and nutritious food.

4. Busying Yourself with Positive Activities

People who have already been addicted to drugs and then managed to stop do not necessarily close the possibility of returning to drugs again. So, as much as possible busy yourself with a variety of positive activities, such as developing a new hobby. There are many exciting activities as a way to relieve stress that will make your time and energy more valuable, for example:

Gardening
Fishing
Do rock climbing.
Join in the community of nature lovers.
Or you can also look for other communities according to your interests as long as it's positive. As long as there is no connection with drugs or liquor, you will be fine.

5. Strengthen Faith

The key to strong faith is to worship a lot, pray and get closer to God. If in the past you could be addicted to drugs because of the feeling of stress and drugs being your best escape. At this time God should be the main escape of all your problems. Through prayer and worship, the heart will be calmer.

By multiplying worship, this will automatically make the heart more sincere. You can also learn to be grateful for what you have got. Whatever problems are faced, always believe that God is dear to every people. God will not give trials beyond the limits of the ability of his people. Ask forgiveness and help God help provide the power to truly escape drug addiction.

I believe you are talking about a natural way of overcoming drug addiction. Drug addiction is a very challenging problem and many see it as impossible to be resolved but the first step to doing this is acknowledging you have a problem. You alone can help yourself by determining you want to be free of this devil. Once you have identified your problem, motivate yourself to do anything and everything possible to resolve it.

There may be relapse but you alone can actually fight it. Avoid people and places who are likely to make you relapse. Involve in regular exercise. Yoga is therapeutic as it helps in relaxing the body and mind.

Look for a support group. People who are also struggling with the same addiction and fighting to be better. Knowing you are not alone in the fight helps you heal faster. Some say listening to good ,music also helps relaxes the mind

Judging a book by its cover, that is judging people by their appearance, is it always accurate? if no what's your reason?

peachyladiva (67) · 6 years ago

difelice5000 (63) · 6 years ago

It is sad to see that this world is largely governed by appearances, in such a way that much depends on the way a person looks physically to be accepted in a certain environment or circle. And if you don't believe me, for example, take a walk around some fashionable den or some "cache" restaurant and you will see how many people are discriminated against just because they don't meet certain requirements, thus denying them access to those places, often known as VIP class (Very Important People, i).

The same happens in almost all the places you want to access, because the first thing you see of people is their physical appearance, their clothing, hence if the visitor looks impeccable in his image, is treated with some respect, kindness and have many considerations and attentions. However, if the opposite happens, that is, if the person wears simple clothes and looks poor, in many cases, is treated with a certain indifference and disdain, regardless of other characteristics of his personality.

However, sometimes we tend to be surprised when behind that appearance are hidden talented people and completely contrasted with what they show behind that image, which does not reflect what is at the bottom of what is observed with the naked eye.

This comes to mind because recently, looking closely at a video sent to my e-mail account, I saw an example of how a person can be judged without knowing their qualities, since a couple of high school boys from the United States entered a talent show in which they had to demonstrate their artistic talents through singing.

The couple consisted of a girl with a splendid figure and exquisite face named Charlotte, 16 years old, and Jonathan, a 17-year-old boy with a somewhat disheveled and obese appearance who, at first sight, according to the judges, did not have the slightest opportunity to stand out, because the first question was: "Do you think the combination is going to work? And the teenager's answer was: "Yes, because that's what our singing teacher told us.

Already with a certain resignation and a large dose of skepticism, the members of the jury were ready to listen to the couple, and what was the surprise of the judges as soon as they perceived the spectacular voice of Jonathan, who made rise from their seats most of the audience that filled an auditorium with capacity for about five thousand spectators.

As the interpretation of the two boys passed, it was appreciated how the euphoria and emotion produced by the fusion of two voices that, although very different, complemented each other in the song they had chosen to participate in that contest: she, according to the judges, had a very appropriate style for pop music, while he had a powerful tenor voice compared, according to a judge, with that of Luciano Pavarotti.

"You're good," one judge told Charlotte, "but you, Jonathan, are incredible," he told the young man, while another of the qualifiers added, "Together they're world class. Meanwhile, one more said to the teen: "You have an exceptionally good voice.

If we had to take advantage of the lesson that we had witnessed in the fragment of that program, it would be that we cannot go through life judging people by their appearance, by the way they dress, without first knowing them a little, because we can be surprised to discover that behind each person around us hides a talent that is waiting to be shown at the right time.

In this world, fortunately, there are many people whose humility is so great, who prefer to remain anonymous, behind an appearance of simplicity, while we can also see the other side of the coin, represented by people who boast of possessing outstanding qualities, so they only show their arrogance by underestimating the virtues of others.

In this context, kind reader, we should reflect to talk with our children and encourage respect for all people around them, regardless of their economic condition or physical appearance, because it is finally demonstrated that all human beings are endowed with great qualities that are only waiting to be discovered and exploited, not with the intention of boasting about them, but to share them with others.

Well... there's no easy answer to this one. It depends. On a lot of things actually!

I don't believe you should judge anyone. Certainly not at first sight, but not even on second or third sight. Basically, you don't know the whole past of this person, so who are you to judge?

"Yeah but this guy is always wearing this weird scarf! He's weird!"

How well do you know him? Maybe it was the scarf of the women he loved wholeheartedly, and who recently died after a long and terrible disease, and he's wearing the scarf to have the feeling that she's still right there with him...

On judging a book by its cover, there is another thing. There is something like "intuition", and that is our gut feeling, telling us things. Now, our gut feeling is not really our gut that's telling us things. It's our brain, which is processing thousands of pieces of information that it has gathered in a split second, and which it has matched to every piece of information we've come across in the past. And the result of that, is intuition. And it is not trying to explain to our consious brain what or how it is doing, it is just presented as a feeling, a gut feeling.

This intuition is a part of our monkey brain, our ancient brain, which controls our fight, flight, freeze reactions and all. We should use it, but we shouldn't let it control us.

I mostly make the comparison with driving a car. Intuition should be in the car, you should hear what it has to say. But it shouldn't be in the driver's seat. YOU need to be in the driver's seat. You need to control the weel. Listen to your intuition, learn to trust on it, and use its advice. No more, no less.

So judge a book by its cover? No, don't judge, but listen to what your intuition is telling you, it might know more than you think!

For me, I believe judging people just by their appearance will never always be accurate.

I have known some people who look snob, malicious, and unapproachable on the outside but very much caring and real on the inside.

It doesn't really matter how they look but of how they treat others. You can see so much angelic faces but will definitely betray you. Con artists will look so trust worthy to you but they are using this strategy to trick you.

Even wondering how a homeless person who looks very much suspicious do care about others and those very clean and presentable people belittle others.

So don't judge by appearance, or rather, don't judge at all.

zaicha (59) · 6 years ago

We can’t judge people just by their appearance.

To judge someone there has to be many other qualities other than just appearance. Few of the qualities by which a person could be judge are:-

First of all we should look how he/she treat the other people specially which are in lower ranks like waiters, sweepers, and receptionist etc.

How kind one is towards other people?

How does he manage his anger?

Is he/she honest?

Is he/she is trustworthy?

Is he/she reliable?

Judging a book by it's cover or better yet, judging a person by their appearance is never accurate. A person's character and personality have very little to do with how they look. I'd like to think that I'm a very peaceful person, I don't like trouble, I despise fighting and I'm definitely a pacifist but people tend to believe otherwise because I keep a reasonably large beard and I lift weights alot so I'm pretty big.

In my country Nigeria, we have a lot of hoodlums and violent cultists who basically match my description and as such when people see me they sometimes think I'm one of them.

Judging a book by it's cover is never and can never be accurate. Who a person is can never be determined by the clothes that's on their back or by the way their face or bodies look.

Copyright laws differ from country to country. But you can take your brush and easel and recreate a Rembrandt and even sell it as long as you don't pretend it is a Rembrandt :)

gboriwole (4) · 6 years ago

You can recreate someone else painting for personal use which is legal but it becomes illegal when you

recreated the painting and put it up for sell....recreating someone else painting and selling it is against the copyright law and you will definitely face copyright

issues....but if you seek the permission of the original owner and he or she approves it and gives you the right to recreate the painting and sell it then that is when you

can be free from copyright issues.....so be on the safe side just seek permission from the original owner of the painting before you re-create it and sell it or use it for personal use....goodluck....

What factor is responsible for the rise and fall of cryptocurrencies, using steem as a case study ?

joyce-okpobo (59) · 6 years ago

cryptocopy (62) · 6 years ago

In case of Steem, there are two main reasons that have been responsible for its rise and fall. These are the movement of Bitcoin and the interplay between supply and demand.

First, we have to understand all altcoins, Steem included, rise and fall with Bitcoin. This is because the cryptocurrency market is still small. As of today, Sept. 7, it only worth $203 Billion dollars in terms of market capitalization. When you consider that more than 50% of this is in Bitcoin, which is at $112 Billion USD in terms of market capitalization on the same day, it will not be a surprise that most fiat to crypto conversions go through Bitcoin. This creates a bottleneck in the market, such that for most people, in order to buy or sell Steem, they will have to go through Bitcoin. The result is that the price of Bitcoin creates a ripple effect that reaches the rest of the altcoins.

Thus, as you can see in the past few days, Steem went up in price, reaching almost above $1 just as the price of Bitcoin was going up past the $7,000 mark. Then, the same thing happened when Bitcoin's prices went down again. This movement was due to the ripple effect of Bitcoin's price. This should also explain why most cryptocurrencies are in the green when Bitcoin is in the green, and most are in the red when Bitcoin is also in the red.

Next, another factor responsible for the rise and fall of Steem is the interplay between supply and demand. This is a little tricky since a lot of things could affect supply and demand. For example, when SMTs were first announced about a year ago, there was an increase in the price of Steem, because the announcement created a lot of excitement over it's potential. This, in effect generated a demand for Steem and, as a result, prices went up for a little while.

There are other factors that affect supply and demand. Hopefully, the upcoming Hardfork could create a positive sentiment all over the blockchain and encourage the demand for Steem, once again, so that the price could pick up.

What is the difference between quantum physics and quantum mechanics?

ralphy (42) · 6 years ago

kwadjobonsu (66) · 6 years ago

Physics is a broad field of science in which Mechanics is subset. Hence, quantum physics and quantum mechanics don't technically mean the same since mechanics is one of the specialized fields in physics that deals with movement of matter. However, people usually use these terms interchangeably.

kutrulaju (54) · 6 years ago

1. Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics is the basic branch of physics that replaces classical mechanics at the level of atoms and subatoms. Quantum mechanics is part of quantum field theory and general quantum physics, which, along with general relativity, is one of the pillars of modern physics. The basis of quantum mechanics is that energy is not continuous, but discrete - in the form of 'packages' or 'quanta'. This concept is quite revolutionary, because it contradicts classical physics which assumes that energy is sustainable.

Quantum mechanics is very useful to explain the behavior of subatomic atoms and particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons that do not obey the laws of classical physics. Atom is usually described as a system where electrons (which are electrically negative) circulate around the atomic nucleus (which has a positive electric charge).

2. Quantum physics

Quantum physics is often called general relativity which is one of the pillars of modern physics. The basis of quantum mechanics is that energy is not continuous, but discrete - in the form of 'packages' or 'quanta'. This concept is revolutionary - opposed to the classic movement which assumes that energy is sustainable. These differences are due to Quantum Physics occupying moving material as waves and as matter.

Quantum physics also shows that we can change the past, that time is an illusion, and that there is life after death. Quantum mechanics is basically the science of consciousness and spirituality, it proves how connected we are to things in existence, all of which are illusions.

Study for a job, not a degree

Already know what profession you like? Then, go seek it out directly.

In Germany, around 60% of young people train as apprentices—in fields all over, from banking to IT to manufacturing. In the US, that number is below 5%, and mainly only has to do with construction jobs. That’s because the idea of “dual training,” or splitting yourself between on-the-job time at a company and classroom time at a vocational school, is much more popular in Europe than it is in America.

But that doesn’t mean young Americans can’t apply the same idea. If you’re interested in welding, metal work, masonry, forestry, landscaping, or many other hands-on fields, it won’t be difficult to find apprenticeships or internships that can lead directly to a full-time job. For industries like art, journalism, or music, things will prove a little trickier; still, the majority of jobs in these industries only “prefer” a bachelor’s degree, and employers focus much more on your talents and experiences than your official credentials. (If you want to be a doctor, hopefully you know that’s a far different story.)

Go to a school that’s not a school

If the job you want absolutely mandates some sort of credential, remember that the pricey four-year US university is not the be-all, end-all.

Community-college degrees are affordable, flexible—they often allow students to complete portions of the semester online or at their own pace—but you don’t even have to invest in that if you don’t want to.

Consider innovative new education ventures such as the Minerva School, an accredited university that strips away most of the overhead of higher education (such as professor tenure, student dorms, or even a physical campus) and offers a pared-down, cost-friendly experience of learning in its purest form. Minerva’s acceptance rate is 1.9%, lower than that of Harvard, Yale, or Oxford, which should give a hint as to how coveted its experience is amongst both students and employers. Then there’s the Holberton School (paywall), a two-year tech program in San Francisco that turns complete novices into engineering experts.

“We have some students who have found jobs at NASA and Google,” Holberton’s co-founder Julien Barbier tells Quartz. “These are proof points of the result—of what you can achieve by going through this type of education.”

Companies, particularly those in Silicon Valley, are progressively looking away from transcripts and extracurriculars. Google, in particular, truly couldn’t care less about what school you attended; it only wants to know if you can a) solve problems, b) lead, and c) offer the company something different. IBM says that about 10-15% of its new hires don’t have a college degree. And in Google’s view, the experience of going to college can sometimes even detract from a candidate’s qualifications—serving as only an “extended adolescence.“

Look into bootcamps and short programs

Coding bootcamps have exploded in popularity over the past few years, to the point where there’s even a $3,000 prep program to train people to apply for coding bootcamps.

If you’re interested in a computer science career, such programs are one of your best shots at getting there fast. With so much interest in the market, options abound for schools with different business models, teaching styles, and niche focuses. For maximum benefit, there are programs like 42, a coding school backed by a French billionaire that plunges students into a four-week “piscine” (literally, a pool) of immersive, intensive training, inviting them to spend nearly a whole month coding, day and night.

Just make sure to do your research—as not every bootcamp is capable of delivering what it promises, and some of them are falsely riding the wave of the success of others before them.

Take advantage of digital wonderland

The most obvious but underrated answer to expensive college educations is the internet. Online learning, while still scoffed at by many on the teaching end, is becoming much more popular amongst students as digital education platforms improve. Coursera, the world’s leading online learning platform, offers thousands of non-degree programs that teach essential skills.

One of them is “Learning How to Learn,” offered by the University of California-San Diego, which teaches the basics of picking up information: something that most colleges don’t ever bother going over.

“For a lot of people, face it, if you’re in class—somebody’s walking in and out, somebody else is leaning in front of you, you miss things and you can’t stop the instructor continuously to ask them to go back and repeat something. You’re wasting time,” Barb Oakley, the professor teaching the course, tells Quartz. Oakley adds that she struggled in college herself, often losing focus on instructors’ lecture materials after the first 10 minutes. Via her online course and others like it, students can rewind, absorb information at their own pace, and pick up skills they might otherwise never have even considered in a traditional college lecture setting.

Coursera is not alone: edX, Udacity, Khan Academy, UoPeople also provide free online courses, many of which are uploaded by professors at Harvard and other top schools. Putting aside the matter of the official diploma, you can receive a near-complete Ivy League education these days without ever setting foot on a campus—or paying a cent.

Oh no, education cannot be over rated. This is why.

A close look at the meaning of education beds the essential need of it. Education, a relevant tool for a worthwhile life. In line with the asked question, one is forced to re-ask, what is education? And how can it be over-rated? So, what is education?

Education as a phenomenon has enjoyed different definitions and consequently, one definition cannot be said to be Superior. However, world wide acceptable definitions are commonly identified with unified trend. Let us consider these,

"Education is the process of acquiring the body of knowledge and skills that people are expected to have in your society. A good education develops a critical thought process in addition to learning accepted facts. It also encourages intellectual curiosity, which will lead to lifelong learning." https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-mean-by-education-and goodeducation. According Oyekan (2000), education is the aggregate of learning processes. Ngada Audu James says, "Education is the only instrument that when wisely and effectively utilized can develop the entire society. It is expected to prepare the medical doctor for his profession, the engineer, architect, teacher, politician and all other professional towards the full development of their society. Education is the single largest industry that is expected to attract the lion's share of a nation's budget if meaningful development is to take place as it affects all spheres of life of the totality of any society."

From the foregoing, education is simply the clothes one must wear to avoid being called mad or immoral. It is a basic necessity for basic human existence.

Therefore can we overemphasize the importance of education? Oh no! No education, no life.

Meanwhile, people often confuse school with getting education. Succinct difference is ostensibly created. Education could be formal, non-formal or semi-formal.

While formal education is classroom-based carried out by trained teachers. Or we say, formal education is a planned learning content that is carried out in a structure by trained personnel. On the other hand, non-formal education doesn't have a designed learning content and it doesn't take place in classroom. Or we simply put, Organised and systematic learning activity conducted outside the formal education system.

Non-formal education and training is understood as education and training leading to qualifications which are not directly recognised as such by relevant national education authorities (or equivalent authorities) or not leading to any qualifications at all (although recognition and validation of learning outcomes could then be used and indirectly lead to formal qualifications). This concept is therefore distinguished from formal education and training, which: (a) typically takes place in (or, in the case of formal apprenticeships, dually involve) the system of schools, colleges and universities and other formal education institutions; (b) normally, although not necessarily, constitutes a continuous ladder of education for children and young people; (c) is directly relevant for the determination of the highest level of formal education attained. It is also distinguished from random and informal learning which are not intentional and/or not institutionalised. (https://unevoc.unesco.org/go.php?q=TVETipedia+Glossary+A-Z&id=185)

From the disparity above, can one establish that either of the two major forms of education can be overemphasized? In both ends, education commands the living of a person.

Actually, if one is not educated (formal and/or informal), one is simply 'dead'. However, schooling can be over rated in the sense that one needs more than going to school to become 'useful' and at times the best in one can be discovered outside school. Just like the footballers, sweemers and so on. They don't teach these and some other talented skills in school but can be grabbed outside school yet, the ones that don't attend school but maximize their innate potentials are individuals that outstanding and can compete with their counterparts that have attended school.

My Mom always scolds me for not waking up early in the Morning and honestly I fail to get the Logic behind Waking up early.

I hope this question leads to an Interesting thread.

cryptosharon (69) · 6 years ago

I used to sleep during the day every day, but I started getting sick. I also couldn't go out or do things that other people did because I was asleep during the day and I was only awake at night when others were sleeping. It's more comfortable for me, but I found it to be unhealthy and it blocked me from doing essential things.

I decided to go back to sleeping in the night and being awake during the day and it was a life changer. I don't feel sick so much anymore and I have a lot of time to do things that I needed to do before but couldn't.

Well, they say the early bird gets the most worms. Waking up in the morning is a necessity because time is something you can't get back. So basically, waking up early means starting early and having more time to accomplish whatever it is that you want to in a day.

If you spend more time getting more sleep than you need then its time wasted.

So wake up early and go achieve some goals and make some money

The virtue of getting up in the morning before dawn is no less than the Prophet Muhammad explained to each of his people. Various benefits will be obtained, whether it is physical or spiritual health when someone does it with istiqomah. Unfortunately, for people who are not used to getting up early, they often feel objections because usually at that time it was full of Satan's temptations. So that the body is not able to resist sleepiness, then continues to sleep until it loses its dawn.

But for believers it certainly does not make such a thing feel heavy, because it has become a routine that needs to be implemented in order to be able to increase their faith in Allah SWT.

the virtues obtained when we are able to apply wake up routinely and istiqomah are:

1. Become the Key to Opening the Door of Sustenance

Morning blessings have built a strong commitment to identity to eliminate laziness, and arouse a sense of enthusiasm for daily activities.

2. Morning Brings Good Luck

Not only physical and spiritual health will be obtained for those who hasten to get up in the morning. Luck will also always accompany those who want to carry it out. Remember luck did come unexpectedly.

3. Become a Group Prayed by Angels

The angel of Allah SWT will not remain silent if he sees a man of faith doing this good routine. The sentence of prayer offered by angels in the morning will be for them, so that this will make it easier to find blessings in the world.

4. Avoid feeling lazy

Physical health and mental freshness that has been obtained, certainly makes the body feel fitter, full of enthusiasm, and kept away from lazing. That is the virtue for anyone who adopts getting up early before dawn. In addition to obtaining a reward from the practice of Sunnah and Fardhu, physically is certainly healthier.

As much as I hate to say it yes it is !

I mean seriously think about it ,why is this waking up in the morning so much promoted

Why do all great people wake up in the morning despite being successful , I think there is a flaw in comparing waking up early with success

But can we just think about it as a time where in the human species is just blessed ,with so much disturbance and choas that comes with technology I think waking up in the morning and giving ourselves some personal time is a good thing to do

Not now ,but in the near future where everything will just becomes worse with attention economy I think it will definitely become a necessity in the near future or may be NOW .

What’s the best sandwich you’ve ever had?

eagle42 (55) · 6 years ago

gentmartin (63) · 6 years ago

My favourite sandwich is one I often make myself and have eaten since I was a kid.

You take the crusts from the ends of a loaf of bread and butter them. Then use a full packet of salt and vinegar crisps (chips), slice up some pickled onions and some pickled beetroot and smother the whole thing with HP brown sauce, or use ketchup if you prefer.

Stick the other crust on top and squash it all down.

Totally delicious, you have to try it :-)

I think it would be a sandwich I had in a gourmet bakery I went to two years ago. I invited a friend over and we had sandwiches together. The bread had been made with tasty spices and had oregano, and it was filled with a variety of tasty things: cheese, ham, pink sauce (ketchup and mayonnaise), egg and probably other things like tomato slices.

There was more to it that I can't remember due to how long ago it was, but it was indisputably one of the best sandwiches I ever had. I remember feeling in awe for the sandwich, because it was one of the tastiest things I'd eaten in the whole year.

Will the English language eventually become universal?

johnhd (48) · 6 years ago

oscar55 (47) · 6 years ago

The concept of Universal is: equivalent (equal) throughout the Universe. Even if one restricts the concept to the land, the English language can not be universal. Already from one district to another of London it changes (p.e. cockney), it is even worse if you go to Scotland or Jamaica.

One only has to listen to what the Creoles have done with the French they have imposed on them: a cheerful and singing language. That's to say! ;)

In addition to the accent, the peoples add the concepts present in their culture but absent from the official language that's why we have so many foreign words in the French language, as in all the languages of the world that had, a day, a contact with another culture. (What travels best is insults and English is very poor on that side.)

And it goes further than that: the concept of taste of food is present in French, but the way we express it is, to say the least, impractical. In Quebec, a region where Anglicism is very much in the game, we have taken the English form, translated the words into French and we say: it tastes good for your poutine. It's not French, but it's very practical.

The "thing" that becomes universal is the Globish. An extreme simplification of the shakespear language

People who have a national ego more developed than their reasoning, dream (fantasement) that their language is spoken by all the peoples of the earth. Besides that denotes an obvious intellectual laziness, it is strategically an incredible stupidity. It means that the whole planet understands what you say, but you do not understand a word from other languages because you never needed to learn them. This is exactly why (laziness) that I help a Japanese who speaks to me in English in the street but that I pretend not to speak the language when it is an anglophone who approaches me in English. It is exactly for this (strategy) that the henchmen, the butchers, ... created their derivatives of lava lavangue fravançavaise (in Javanese in the text).So for a language to be Universal it is necessary: that it is not attached to a nation, nor to a culture and that almost nobody speaks it.

How do you become a "morning person" if you have trouble getting out of bed?

nateaguila (68) · 6 years ago

I smash the "snooze" button at least 3-5x every morning. I want to train myself to get up earlier, motivated and ready for the day.

gentmartin (63) · 6 years ago (edited)

I personally think you can't easily force your own body clock into running against its natural state.

In your case, you struggle to get up earlier and motivated, so accept what you feel is natural to you and this will allow yourself to be more productive as you aren't wasting energy and will-power trying to be a morning person. I'd assume after a lot of training, its possible to change and for it to come naturally, but why bother?

I am useless at getting up early, and mornings are a productivity wasteland for me if I'm forced to get up so this is what I do.

I sleep when I'm tired, which is often around 3 to 4amish, and I wake up around 11ish, at which time I eat, read the papers and don't even attempt to do any work unless I feel really motivated to do some. My best hours for working are 10pm to about 4am. As for eating. I eat when I feel hungry and breakfast is always my biggest meal. I naturally seem to eat very little later on.

So, if you need to wake early for work or other commitments then keep training yourself using repitition and consistancy and I'm sure you will get the place you want to be, but if its not so critical, try simply listening to your own body.

Sleep when you're tired and eat when you're hungry!

jlordc (69) · 6 years ago (edited)

This has something mostly to do with one's body clock.

It is a scientific fact that the human adult body needs at least 7-9 hours of sleep in order to function well the next day and immediately feel refreshed after waking up. If one have had a good sleep, for sure that person will have no trouble getting out of bed.

The problem however is not the waking up but when a person goes to sleep. Often times, teenagers and young adults have inconsistent sleeping schedules. They just sleep whenever they want or when their body feels like resting.

This is the major reason that leads to people having trouble getting out of bed and can be easily solved by having a stable and consistent sleeping schedule, allowing one to get a good amount of sleep.

The thought of living in a cabin away from the modern life, with no internet, phone and other "comfy stuff" has ever crossed your mind?

acesontop (71) · 6 years ago

jlordc (69) · 6 years ago

It did cross my mind until 5 years ago when my home province was struck with a 7.2 magnitude earthquake and had to experience almost all of those stuffs you listed above.

Fortunately the buildings in our town where left undamaged but the power plant supplying electricity to the whole province was badly damaged. Since the parts needed where mostly custom-made and are very expensive, they don't have any backup parts in case of emergencies like these (or so they said). Added with the cable lines in the whole province being messed up, it took almost 3 months to get the electricity back up again.

Anyway, many people here wants to experience living life away from modern stuffs and technologies we are now used to,, but truth be told it isn't that great. Having no access to the internet equals limited source of information which we badly needed at that time, no "comfy stuffs" like AC is just unbearable in a hot country. I could probably live without a phone or SMS but no. After having experienced all those things, it never once again crossed my mind to live away from modern life. I love living life in comfort. :)

@Acesontop YES! A resounding yes.

I used to tell my friends that I wished I was back in the Victorian era with no smartphones, where people will dip their quills in ink and write long meaningful letters to each other.

But going back to your question about living in a cabin away from the modern life, it has crossed my mind most particularly after reading some parts of Walden, the seminal work of Henry David Thoreau.

Modern life with all its conveniences and technology has not only quickened the pace of living, but has also inevitably made life more complicated. Hence, the appeal of a cabin lifestyle, besides the intimacy with nature, is its simplicity.

One quote that struck me from Walden: "Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth."

But even if we don't live a cabin life in accordance to the natural rhythm of the seasons, we can strive to live a simple life right where we are, even in the heart of a bustling city (for me, that's Singapore).

Yes, the thought has crossed my mind more than once. In fact it is one of my more prominent day dreams that also have a hint of reality in them :-) Although I wouldn't call it a day dream, since I not only have the inclination of doing so but I am also completely capable of doing something like this.

In the spirit of being truthful, I will also admit that the thought of doing so permanently is not what I want. To be able live without the privilege of modern technology and other creature comforts is something that I only want to do as a 'part time' thing. The idea is to detach myself sufficiently from this modern world to be able to see the bigger picture. My idea is not that of 'abstinence' from it.

I remember that one of the first times that this kind of thought occurred to me was during my university days and I wanted to do it so that I maybe able understand this world better and also be able to appreciate the gifts and comforts that I have and not take them for granted....

What would be different under Mike Pence if Trump were impeached?

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago

If Donald Trump were impeached and had to step aside, now VP Mike Pence would become de facto successor and the next President of the United States.

What would be different under him politically. Would the country suffer even more setbacks than under maverick Trump?

difelice5000 (63) · 6 years ago

If the president of the United States were to be removed from office, what would come could be even worse. This is Mike Pence, the number two former governor of the most controversial government on the planet.

The image of a president leaving office ahead of schedule is not often seen in the United States, but neither is it strange. Many citizens can still remember when, in 1974, President Richard Nixon, the same man who started the current war on drugs, announced his resignation in a televised speech following the Watergate scandal. Added to this image of reality, House of Cards, the popular Netflix series, offers another fictitious image of the resignation of a President. In both cases, the departure of the U.S. Commander-in-Chief came after a deep crisis of governance.

Imagining that Donald Trump does not finish his presidency is not difficult. Almost every day since he took office has been characterized as controversial. This, of course, comes from the beginning of his electoral career in mid-2015. Almost every major power in the country opposed his campaign. Since his inauguration there have been protests all over the country against his policies.

But in addition, in the month he has been in the White House he has already resigned his National Security advisor, Michael Flynn, while several of his secretaries are still missing to be confirmed in the Senate. And at this moment the President is facing the scandal caused by the New York Times revelation that several members of his campaign had contacts with the Russian government, accused last year of having interfered in the elections.

The departure of a President implies that the Vice President assumes office, as happened when Gerald Ford replaced Nixon for the remainder of his term. If Trump leaves, Mike Pence, 57, would remain in the Oval office. Compared to his boss, Pence has had a quieter profile. His statements have been less explosive and so far his work has revolved around diplomacy - participating in the White House's communication with other states around the world - and government dialogue, especially with religious communities. But perhaps Pence's past actions speak more and better of him than his words as Vice President.

An ambiguous career

Pence has a long history in politics. Before arriving in his new position, he was governor of his home state, Indiana, from 2013. In addition, he served twelve years in the House of Representatives, from 2001 to 2013. An attorney by training, Pence has been known for defending policies that are clearly religiously and fiscally conservative. He is, as he has described himself, Christian, conservative, and Republican.

We also recommend reading: Pence, Trump's homophobic vice president

Upon his arrival in the House in 2001, Pence joined the International Affairs Committee. Along with his fellow Republicans, he was one of the supporters of the Patriotic Act, which was promoted by the George Bush administration after the September 11 attacks. In addition, like almost all members of the Republican and Democratic parties, Pence passed the resolution that allowed the presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. A little more than a year later, he was also on the side of the invasion of Iraq. In addition to the war on terrorism, Pence supported Bush's efforts to win the war on drugs.

On international issues, however, his positions are varied. While supporting military invasions in the Middle East, Pence was an immigration advocate during the Bush administration. Between 2006 and 2007 he supported the possibility of immigration reform that would allow citizens of other countries to go to work in the United States for a limited time. At the time, he stated, "We are a nation of immigrants. I don't just understand it, I live it. He was thinking of his own grandfather, who had come from Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century to work in Chicago.

Now, his positions on this issue varied over the years. In 2014, as governor of Indiana, he joined his Republican counterparts in challenging an executive order of then-President Barack Obama protecting nearly five million undocumented immigrants from deportation. And in 2015, when Donald Trump's election campaign was just beginning and Pence had not joined it, he disagreed with the proposal of today's head of state to prevent Muslims from entering the United States.

On the economic front, Pence has advocated a steady and substantial reduction in public spending and taxes. Thus, in 2010, like his supporters, he opposed Obamacare, the law that sought to give access to health insurance to millions of Americans who cannot afford it; however, when he was governor of Indiana, he called for an expansion of the historic Medicaid and Medicare social programs, which help the poorest access health care, so that it would have greater coverage for people who were not so poor, but who lived without health insurance. He also strengthened the Healthy Indiana Plan, which has similar purposes to Obamacare, and has fought for reforms to lower the costs of medicines and medical services.

Pence's economic positions are also ambiguous. As a congressman and governor, he advocated for the country to sign free trade agreements around the world. And this is significant because, as is well known, Trump came into office, in part, with a promise to restructure U.S. trade relations. As he said at the time, free trade agreements bankrupted industries and killed jobs.

But in addition, Pence's old ideas become relevant because his home state was one of the key states in Trump's triumph. Along with Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, among others, Indiana belongs to the so-called Rust Belt, which has historically been an industrial manufacturing zone. A good part of Trump's campaign was directed to these states, because there have been many people who have lost their jobs due to the transfer of factories to other countries like Mexico.

Trump blamed free trade for this and promised to return the jobs to the country. Only in December 2016, a month before taking office as president, Trump and Pence managed to get the company Carrier, which mainly produces refrigeration systems, to desist in its project to move its plant to Mexico, which was going to mean the loss of about 2000 jobs in the capital of the state of today's Vice President.

In addition, Pence's figure served Trump's campaign because during his term of office unemployment was reduced by half, which gave him great ancestry among the families of workers. Added to this was his policy of cutting taxes every year, which gave him enormous popularity. But, above all, there is the fact that Pence, unlike Trump himself or many of the politicians who identify with the establishment, is not a millionaire and shares many of the problems of the average American.

Last year, Pence disclosed his tax returns, and they showed that most of his income came from his governor's salary and did not exceed $200,000 a year. The Vice President's wife, Mrs. Karen Pence, also made a living from her salary as an arts teacher. Between them, they also paid a student debt of nearly $300,000 that they had acquired to finance the education of their three children.

First God

However, although during his political career Pence has fluctuated in some of his ideals, there is one point at which he has never changed in those years: his defense of Christian values. Born into a Catholic and Democratic family in 1959, in the late 1970s the former governor of Indiana converted to Protestantism. His religious convictions are deep and he considers himself a family man. In 1985 he married Karen Batten and they had three children, Michael, Charlotte and Audrey.

In the public arena Pence has always defended his Christian ideals. Since 1988, when he lost his first campaign to the House, and during the 1990s, when he became a radio and television broadcaster, Pence has said the United States must follow the laws of what he calls "God's plan. According to him, the country's deviation from its founding Christian precepts could lead to the "destruction of civilization.

In this sense, Pence has been very sensitive to debates such as abortion and egalitarian marriage. Faced with the first issue, during his career as a congressman he often asked to de-finance the organization Planned Parenthood, which provides services to American women so that they can decide about their reproductive lives. Among other functions, Planned Parenthood provides access to safe abortions. Within days of taking office as Vice President, the former governor supported the so-called "march for life," held after the Women's March. In it he again charged Planned Parenthood.

We also recommend: "No gays accepted".

During the campaign, Pence also promised several conservative sectors that he would confine to "the ashes of history" the court ruling known as Roe v. Wade, which decriminalized abortion nationwide in 1973. In addition, during his term as governor he signed several state laws that only allowed abortion in cases where the mother's life was in danger. These laws were later annulled, but with them Pence strengthened his image as a radical conservative.

Faced with the second issue, sexual diversity, Pence has radically opposed same-sex marriage. In 2006, he pushed for a constitutional amendment that sought to ban equal marriage throughout the country. His actions against the LGBTI community don't stop there. As governor, he signed several state laws that sought, among other things, to imprison same-sex couples seeking to marry or to allow religious discrimination against LGBTI people.

What triggered the 2017 crypto bull run? What would trigger another one in 2018?

acesontop (71) · 6 years ago

hashcash (63) · 6 years ago

A whole lot of factors triggered the bull run. We also need to recognize that there are forces at play that we might not know of or be able to quantify. Nevertheless, here is a possible list of reason that gave us a boost:

1. During 2017 we revived almost daily mainstream media coverage

2. Forbes, CNBC, Bloomberg ran several pieces about this 'new type of money' called Bitcoin. Smaller media fishes soon caught onto it.

3. Unregulated fiat gateways into the crypto market thrived till the end of 2017.

4. In April 2017, Japan and China brought into play regulation that allowed Bitcoin to be viewed in a legally favorable light.

5. Then after Bitcoin broke 2K and 5K mark, the idea that other altcoins might do the same came into being. A lot of altcoins were bought because people that they were buying the next Bitcoin.

6. A combination of all theses factors created a FOMO (Fear of missing out) and crypto was bought left and right by people who thought that they were missing out on crypto action.

What is the most fragile part of the human body?

oscar55 (47) · 6 years ago

mrzsagai (53) · 6 years ago

The first weak point of the human body is on the back of the head. The head is very sensitive, the weakest point on the body is the back of the head. If the part is hit the victim will faint instantly.

When you hit it harder then that person can die. Because of damage to the brain regulating consciousness system, the Reticular Activating System. Healed only with one road, namely surgery, but even then the chances are very small. So don't hit someone on the back of the head!

In men, it turns out one of the points of weakness. If pressed, it will definitely hurt, but when hit hard can result in damage to the respiratory system. Not only that, the vocal cords will be damaged, even worse those who are hit in the Adam's area can be victims of death. So don't hit people in the Adam's area, except in a state of urgency.

If you often see martial arts scenes or even learn them, often to do resistance there is a movement to hit the neck. That is because the neck is a weak part and able to paralyze the opponent. If the victim who is hit on that part will usually faint immediately then wake up after a while.

But when the blow is too hard, the victim can experience paralysis, even death! The reason is, the neck has many blood vessels called Carotid Artery which functions to deliver oxygen to the brain, if it is damaged, the result is that oxygen flow to the brain stops and is very fatal.

It is important to note that a coins value is deeply connected to the current Total Supply Available and the Demand for that coin.

In the scenario in which STEEM hits around $0.00, that just basically means only a few people wants to own it or there is just too much supply with less demand for it. Take Dogecoin as an example, currently it's price value is at $0.005728 (mostly because it has over 100 times more supply than STEEM). But is still rank #20 in terms of Market Capitalization.

As long as there are people left who wants to own a piece of STEEM, it will totally never be out of value. A hypothetical $0.001 price still has a chance to increase ten-fold in just a month.

For reference: Steem's price from a year ago was only at $0.07 and it managed to increased 100 times more with it's current market price now.

I don't believe it's possible to put buy or sell orders at 0, so this is not something that will happen, but it can hit the lowest possible unit. But realistically, at that point people would have abandoned the token completely. You'd have plenty of accounts holding significant amounts of STEEM that are worth nothing because nobody values it. But think about what this means. It means the blockchain itself would not be operating at all due to inactivity. By this time, none of the websites interacting with the chain would exist. The only way to tell what used to be there is through snapshots through the wayback machine or if some fellow stores a copy of the now-defunct blockchain data.

That's what it effectively would mean for STEEM to "disappear", forget about price.

It's also interesting to speculate what events would have conspired to get to that point. We already know another platform that went through such a nose-dive and is near the point of being shuttered: it is called bitconnect. As long as there's some amount of believers, it can maintain a very low price and low activity. But at that point, people have moved onto other platforms that stand a better chance at persisting and being used in the world. And we have others that are completely dead. No nodes operating.

Not sure if this answers your question, but that's what it'll be like. If it gets to these situations, barring some miracle the platform will effectively be dead.

We can also talk about how the debt ratio would bend as it nose dives, but this probably isn't so important to the question other than it being fun to think about.

And about he being married to many women, that also happens in the current world, so it's nothing weird. Arab men in old ages had gigantic harems with dozens, if not hundreds of women who were married to them.

bomb attacks,why can’t he just simply save them and keep them alive??why do some bad and wicked people live long on earth while those that are innocent die at a

Been a Christian means you are a follower of Christ

You accept Christ as your lord and personal saviour.

I was born in Christian home but that does not automatically makes me a Christian.

To be a Christian you have to believe in your heart that Christ died for you and accept him as your saviour but first you have to believe there God and Jesus is the son of God.

Christianity is not the only religion as we have some that don't believe God exist and some that don't believe Jesus is the son of God.

Can Bitcoin be considered a success?

markocrypto (46) · 6 years ago

royalpubg (44) · 6 years ago

I would say more than it is a beginning of success that has not yet materialized in total success. Indeed, the objective of Bitcoin was initially to replace existing currencies, controlled by central authorities, with a non-centralized virtual currency whose value is determined by its users. This very ambitious vision has rallied millions of people who have invested heavily in Bitcoin to exceed a capitalization of 100 billion dollars in a few years. Even if this seems impressive, we are still far from seeing bitcoin or other crypto-currencies, replacing the classic currencies, and this for the following reasons:

1- The technological limitation: Bitcoin currently has a capacity of 3 to 4 transactions per second. Even if other crypto-currencies have a much higher capacity than Bitcoin (example: 20 capacities per second for the ethereum), we see that cryptocurrencies have a capacity far behind the current payment technologies like Visa which has a capacity of 1667 transactions per second. This seriously limits the massive adoption of crypto-currencies. Nevertheless, with the technological improvements made to cryptocurrencies, one could see a considerable increase in their capacity in the years to come.

2- Transaction costs: with the increase in Bitcoin mining costs, Bitcoin transfer fees have increased exponentially. Pay for everyday things like shopping, small purchases etc. is no longer interesting for people with Bitcoin.

3- Fluctuations: The value of Bitcoin fluctuates very rapidly and does not yet provide stability allowing merchants to accept payments in Bitcoin. As long as the value of Bitcoin is not stable, it can only be adopted by investors or merchants who can tolerate high risks.

Bitcoin or crypto-currencies in general have marked the beginning of a new revolution in current monetary systems, but they still have a long way to go before they succeed in realizing the initial vision of replacing centralized money with a decentralized currency. .

Would Steemit be a better platform if its flagging feature were removed?

kwadjobonsu (66) · 6 years ago

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago

No, it wouldn’t. In fact, the Steem blockchain would be a worse place without flagging because it would become an eden for plagiarizers, copyright infringements, and imposters banking on the goodwill and welcoming nature of the Steem nature.

A while ago payouts were received after only 1 day rather than the 7 days we know now. That was changed because upvoters often didn’t have the opportunity to timely remove their upvote when an imposter was caught or didn’t confirm their identity and was thus wrongly upvoted.

While whales can downvote other Steemians and even dent their reputation, Steemians should learn that a vote (up- or downvote) is a systemwide free vote. Nothing else. That the upvote may contain rewards is only defined by the price feed but is definitely not a right.

Once understood that upvotes are merely that, a systemwide thumbs up or down, people may hopefully look differently at flags. While flags can “hide” content from sites, that is all they do. The content is still on the blockchain and the blockchain itself is immutable. Thus there is no oppression of free expression when content it flagged. IT is merely a disagreement with the rewards. Whether that disagreement is because of content, content quality, or personal feuds is irrelevant for the blockchain. The blockchain doesn’t hide any content, even not flagged content.

Just like we are free to upvote, everyone is free to flag any post or comment on the Steem blockchain.

Without measures like flags Steem would be the Wild Wild West for copyright infringers. A horrible place to be, a place milked even more by abusers. A place where even @steemcleaners wouldn’t be able to act and where phishing fighters like @arcange couldn’t nuke a confirmed phishing account into oblivion..

No. It will not be a better platform if the flagging feature is removed. Flagging is the only mechanism by which an over-rewarded post can be corrected. If you agree that the ultimate goal is to have a good distribution of the reward pool as to encourage adoption of the token, then you must also recognize that in the absence of flagging, the system boils down to an N-person prisoner's dilemma instance when it comes to voting. The main properties of this are:

A stakeholder will earn more if they use their voting power to solely vote for themselves.
If every stakeholder voted selfishly for themselves, the distribution of the rewards pool becomes flat and it is harmful for the platform, as there is no chance that new players will enter the system.

Some people dispute (1), claiming that actually there are ways to earn much more than self voting, however I believe this to actually be an illusion, involving community groups that give higher than self-voting returns, but this ultimately comes from various community members not maximizing their portion of the community stake.

But the main point of this setup is that in the absence of flagging, stakeholders are incentivized to engage in selfish behavior. In a system in which all participants behave rationally, the ultimate configuration will be that all participants will self vote.

The presence of flagging, or the threat of flagging, introduces an extra element where cooperators can correct the behavior of defectors (self-voters), and indeed there's quite a pressure on large stake-holders not to self vote. The white paper argues that this flag "solves" this problem, and prevents the voting problem from being an instance of Prisoner's Dilemma.

A more realistic look

Where this simplistic view falls short, I suppose, is that even in the absence of flagging, it's possible that a prisoner's dilemma does not exist in other ways. For example, there is a time-dependent element to the evaluation function concerning the output of the game. Many people believe that restricting themselves from self voting, and creating communities that encourage the spreading of votes and rewarding valuable contributions will lead to long term growth of the token, and subsequently act in a way that maximizes the long term value.

We have an interesting set of factions on this platform. There are certainly those trying to milk the platform selfishly as much as possible. Delegating to bid bots is a form of this, though well-hidden. And they turn around and cash it out.

On the other hand, there are those that recognize that there's not enough power to correct for much of this behavior, and the delegations even make it trickier to effectively target the benefactors of this. In certain factions, they are using stake to spread to many people, but they also self-vote to boost the future effectiveness of their stake. In other words, they are rather in the middle: self-vote a little to not lose too much ground to pure self-voters and still spread some of the stake around to the wider community.

And then there'a subset that uses flagging to correct for various abusive behaviors on the platform. There are cases where a whale with a lot of power can get a little too much say here, but in theory as the stake gets distributed further and further, there will be a better ability to counter whale votes. Since stake weighting is linear, multiple smaller parties can combine their stake to counter the actions of a larger party. But in the early stages, with an imbalance of stake the effect of this is rather limited.

In any case, this is all a very interesting experiment to see. Whatever the situation is, it is an instance of a complex multi-person game, and it will need a lot more nuanced analysis to determine how best to make changes to it to encourage a better outcome.

The flagging features was created for a good purpose which is to maintain sanity on the steemit platform so that people can be flagged whenever they post stolen

contents or spam contents but unfortunately many people now abuse the flagging feature and use it as a method of attacking the content of a user and a user’s

reputation even when the user is not guilty or do not deserved to be flagged,some steemit bloggers have personal issue with another blogger and they begin to

flag the contents of the user for no justifiable reasons...but at the same time i still believe that there are some people that still positively and genuinely still use the flag feature and they only flag contents that are

against the posting guidelines on steemit...if we look at the advantage and the disadvantage of the flagging feature then i think that flagging should still be allowed to stay but there should be more strict investigation

done to confirm if a flagged contents is really worthy to be flagged or it was just an intentional act done just to suffer the user who posted the content....

Like here on the Steem blockchain, WeKu too is about rewarding the content creators for their work. Their is crucial difference though, WeKu is going to make the reward system dynamic, unlike Steem. This means that the rewards can be adjusted at depending on the community.

Since the Weku is about different communities getting together, thus the reward system could be adjusted at the community level and can differ from community to community. This phrase from their whitepaper indicates that:

What was ruined because it became popular?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boracay

jrvacation (68) · 6 years ago

In Philippines, south of Manila, there is a popular island resort known as Boracay. The famous destination is popular among holiday seekers and attract up to 2 million visitors a year, bring in more than a billion dollars worth in tourism tickets. The beach and clear sea water as well as a hosts of top hotels and resorts were ranked highly in Asian top destinations.

However, this proved to be its downfall. As it became more and more popular, flooded with tourists all over the way to the beach, the island is now heavily polluted. The problem is mainly blamed on the local government for failure to enforce marine conservation, garbage and sanitation.

Business like hotels and resorts are dumping their waste into local canals which primary purpose is to collect rainwater and irrigation. These illegal dumping are causing serious sewage problems and the island is now full of dumps and garbage. These resulted in low hygiene and high contamination of usable water.

Earlier this year, the Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte had enough of it and ordered a 6 months closure of the whole island to fix sewage and environment-related problems. The president is calling Boracay a "cesspool". "You go into the water, it's smelly. Smells of what? Sh*t," he had said.

Boracay, among many other popular destinations around the world, is being ruined due to its popularity. Much education need to be imparted to tourists and local businesses to be responsible in maintaining the local resources for a continuous growth.

I will show you two example of this.

Diego Armando Maradona. One of the legend of football world. The winning captain of Argentina on 1986 world cup. The legendary magician of hand of god. He was so famous that he didn't think of looking back ever. But what he had done? Abused his life with drug. Ruined his fame and love from millions of fans.

Nasir Hossein and Sabbir Rahman. Two promising and rising cricket players in Bangladesh. Huge popularity and money made then blind. Now both of them are accused with scandals of many female company. They have broken team rules and regulations. Now both of them are past for Bangladesh cricket team.

One more to say. In our country when anything comes new in market the producing company keep the quality 100% to get the popularity. But when the product become popular then then ruin the quality. May be it happens in most of the countries in the world.

These are the practical example for you. Human are fame collector and they are the one who ruin everything.

Do we live in a computer simulation?

niel96 (69) · 6 years ago

Is life like a video game? How do you know that reality is what we think it is? We could live in a computer simulation.

difelice5000 (63) · 6 years ago

For years there has been an idea circulating among scientists and enthusiasts that our world is not really real. Some suggest that this is a simulation in which we live controlled by another being as if we were toys, while others claim to have proof that reality is, in fact, a hologram. Let's review the ideas of those who think it's possible for us to live in a matrix.

We live in a world that, in fact, is a life simulation, created by a "programmer," who controls everything we do as if we were the characters in the Sims game, says Rich Terrile, director of the Center for Evolutionary Computing and Automated Design at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The scientist thinks that the fact that we are not computer models cannot be demonstrated, since "reality is the product of a complex architecture that appeared outside of human consciousness. Terrile therefore suggests the idea that our world would behave just like the reality of the 'Grand Theft Auto' adventure and driving video game.

The idea is not new, since in 2003 philosopher Nick Bostrom suggested that we live in a simulation modeled and regulated by our descendants, that is, from the future. Bostrom and other writers postulate that there are empirical reasons why the simulation hypothesis might be valid. According to his proposal, a future civilization would have such an enormous computing capacity that our descendants could with their developed technologies run a simulation of ancestors. However, the scientist does not explain why these "programmers" would be modeling reality.

In turn, Silas Beane, nuclear physicist at the University of Washington, expands on this idea, affirming that the "simulators" that control our universe can also be simulations, something like "a dream within a dream".

Another idea that is gaining strength is that of holograms. Last week, a group of scientists announced that they had succeeded in demonstrating the "holographic principle," a conjecture about the theories of quantum gravity proposed in 1993 by Gerard 't Hooft. The idea postulates that the universe does not have a three-dimensional space, but that it has a two-dimensional structure similar to a hologram, the projection of which is reflected in an immensely large cosmic horizon.

We will have to wait a little to prove it, or we keep on living and forget about it or we go crazy trying to understand it.

The theory that we live in simulations is logically possible, but I can't believe we're living in simulations, If today's scientists can create computer simulations that produce "awareness", then the possibility that we live in simulations will be even greater. So far, computer experts have succeeded in creating programs that can defeat humans in certain cases or problems as is commonly found in sports games on computers. Even so, there are no programs that have been successfully simulated approaching human thoughts and feelings.

How to Upgrade Our Skills in Photograhy?

ammachemist (57) · 6 years ago

cryptosharon (69) · 6 years ago

The best way to improve your skills is to learn from the best. Watch tutorials, write down the new things that you learn and don't watch too much without first practicing.

The key is writing down a few tips, then going out and practicing what you learned. Then, when you're sure that you've mastered those aspects, go back to writing down more tips and practicing more.

Soon enough, you'll be much, much better than when you started. :) This also works for many other skills, not just for photography. But photography is particularly easy to improve if you own a good camera, because there are many professional photographers on Youtube who make guides for free.

steem-owner (25) · 6 years ago

1. learn to be patient

Especially when dealing with landscape photography or travel. You need to wait to get good weather, or a specific sun position. If only this patience is trained continuously, the possibility of getting good results is getting bigger.

2. Find a unique perspective

Sometimes, interesting photos come from an interesting perspective. Subjects that are cliché can even be made interesting with unique and creative angles. Try shooting with ground level (or frog eye) rather than eye level, use the stairs to get extreme angles, and many other ways. Also learn the various angles that might be done.

3 Start using a tripod

The use of a tripod is not only to keep the camera "steady" so as to produce sharp photos, but there are other hidden advantages. By using a tripod, you are "forced" to work more carefully. You will need time to get the right composition, and will think more. With a tripod, you can also experiment with long exposure techniques. Some tripods are expensive, but learning doesn't need to be too sophisticated.

4. Break your habits

Most of us have certain habits in taking pictures: the subjects we usually take, the time we choose, location, composition, to post-production workflows. Try occasionally breaking the habit so you know new things and try new things. Maybe new things actually improve your weaknesses. For example, if you always take pictures in the morning, try the afternoon. Maybe you are even more "familiar" with orange light.

5. Request input / criticism

The key to improving yourself is getting input from others. You can do this by asking the opinions of friends and family, what they like / dislike from your photos. Currently, there are also many mediums to get feedback from people, one of which is through Fotokita.net.

What are the signs and symptoms of severe depression and how to treat it?

davidcop (53) · 6 years ago

herbertholmes (56) · 6 years ago

Firstly, depression can not really be treated. Not real, neurological depression. People who suffer from this have a different brain chemistry than others, and it can be impossible for others to understand that our brains simply will not allow themselves to become "fixed". Sure, there are pills; but those are just evil and I would never suggest someone with psychological issues to go down that path; having been down it myself. From a personal standpoint, the only real treatment is to surround yourself with caring people and try your hardest to ignore the part of your brain telling you to die. From the opposite standpoint, I think empathy is the best help you can give someone suffering from depression.

"Let me know if you need anything" or "if you want to talk" are very nice statements and gestures. But they do not do much for those of us battling this illness. We're aware that there are suicide hotlines, depression phone lines, psychiatrists, therapists; but talking isn't what helps. Instead, a more appropriate way to help your friends would be to just be around them. Go hang out with them. Invite them to do whatever you're doing. *Involve* them and give them distractions from their own worst enemy; their own brain.

In terms of signs and symptoms; that's a tricky one. There are a lot of people who suffer from depression that may never open up about it. It's rare, but it does happen. I think a good tool is to look for the signs and symptoms yourself on your friends' faces. You can pick up a lot from facial features and body language; if your friend seems like they have a lot on their mind, withdrawing themselves from conversation at random points and changing general facial expressions when doing so.. they might be depressed. And they might not. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

Having suffered from depression for a long time and having witnessed many friends go through it, and seeing all the possible outcomes, it's a topic very important to me. If you'd like to discuss it more please let me know.

What causes aging of human body?

dadurojare (8) · 6 years ago

clothing-id (50) · 6 years ago

1. Unhealthy habits Skin health is strongly influenced by daily living habits. Bad habits such as smoking, drinking coffee and alcohol, stress, to lack of sleep, will make the skin drier. Dry skin is one of the markers of premature aging, because in the productive age human skin actually still has a good texture. But these bad habits make the skin cells become damaged, and the skin becomes drier, because the skin is unable to capture and retain water in the skin layer.

2. Environmental environmental effects can also have a bad influence on your skin. For example, too often in air-conditioned rooms, dirty air, pollution, to solar radiation. "But the most 'evil' is radiation.

3. Age The process of aging or aging will begin in the 20s, but the skin will still be able to balance and inhibit this aging process. The skin will reduce its ability to produce new skin cells when it is over the age of 30 years.

4. Genetic "In the case of premature aging, there are also people who experience this problem because of heredity," he said. The "aging" gene carried in a person will allow him to grow old before his time. Conversely, there are those who have heredity to look youthful.

5. Physical and health conditions Skin is one of the physical markers that stand out when the body experiences health problems. "When the body is sick, the effect will immediately be seen on the skin, for example, become dull and not radiant," said Eddi. If the skin is not treated properly after experiencing pain, the skin will become more problematic and damaged.

6. Self-care Although you will experience skin aging problems, but to reduce the impact of damage prematurely, you need to do treatment early. "Proper self-care according to skin needs will make the skin healthy and beautiful.

cause of a guideline on the human body

Exposure to sunlight without protection

Ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted from the sun can damage the elastic tissue of the skin. As a result, the skin becomes easily wrinkled prematurely. Not only that, often exposed to sunlight can also trigger the production of brown-colored aging spots on the face, hands, and other areas of the body that are often exposed to sunlight.

In addition to premature aging, sunlight can make the skin black and increase the risk of skin cancer.

In order to avoid the danger of sunlight, you can use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF level of 15 every time before activities outdoors. It is advisable to wear it from 11.00 to 15.00, either in hot or cloudy weather.

You can get more protection by combining sunscreen with other skin protectors, such as wide-brimmed hats, umbrellas, sunglasses, or loose clothing that covers the skin.

Smoke

Not only does it have a negative impact on health, smoking can also affect your appearance. Smokers experience premature aging because of damage to body tissues by toxic substances in cigarettes, and blood circulation to the face. This will accelerate the appearance of wrinkles and make it look clearer, and the facial tone becomes dull.

So, if you want to stay young longer, stop smoking.

Eating excessive alcoholic beverages

Alcoholic beverages are proven to cause premature aging of the skin. This is not much different from the effects of smoking, which is due to damage to skin tissue due to the effects of free radicals. This effect will be more quickly seen if you are often exposed to UV light, excessive stress, and not maintaining a good diet.

In addition, alcohol can also reduce levels of vitamin A, vitamin B3, and vitamin C, in the body. These three vitamins are antioxidants that are important for regenerating new cells.

In addition to avoiding premature aging of the skin, stopping the habit of drinking alcoholic beverages also aims to avoid the negative effects on the body.

Bad diet

Diet also affects the condition of your skin. Foods with poor nutrition can cause premature aging. One mechanism is to cause chronic inflammation in the body, for example by the trans fats contained in your food. Some examples of foods that can trigger premature aging are refined carbohydrates (eg bread or pasta), and foods that contain too much sugar. Both types of food can damage collagen in the skin.

Other types of food that should be limited include fried foods, sweet cakes, fast food, and fatty meats. Conversely, multiply the consumption of antioxidant-rich foods. Antioxidants are found in nuts, wine, various berries, broccoli, carrots, green tea and whole grains.

Lack of sleep

Sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality not only adversely affects health, but can also lead to premature aging of the skin. Research shows that people who have chronic sleep disorders are more at risk of developing skin disorders, including premature aging. Sleep deprivation can affect a person's appearance so it looks less fresh.

In other ways corrupt individuals with political power enjoy and live a lavish life, permit me to say that millions of Africans are deprived of their basic needs like food, health, education, housing, access to clean water, good roads, electricity and sanitation.” and I think something should be done about it

I don't know much about it. I've heard that they get ridiculous sometimes with the dancing. I wouldn't know.

Before, I thought that one of my favourite movies, Slumdog Millionaire, was made there, but I read later that it's a British film. There is also Lucia, which I thought was made in Bollywood too, but it's not either. So it turns out that even though I thought I was watching Bollywood movies, I really wasn't, so I would say that Bollywood hasn't ever touched my life.

Being kind is to simply accept, no human is higher or better than others no matter how rich you are. Being kind is knowing that the table might turn around any day. Being kind is knowing that there's karma. What you sow you shall reap. Treat others how you want to be treated because even the important ones don't look important.

There was a day, I made a mistake on my loan application form. I didn't know until I left the bank. So, I quickly rushed back to the desk of the customer care officer to edit my application. Ordinarily, the office closes by 5:00 pm, but I got there by 4:50 pm. The lady was about to leave so I begged for her to allow me edit my application, but she refused and said she was done for the day. I tried to explain how much it will cost me to come back the next, but she didn't want to hear my story. She boldly told me to come back the next day while she was busy with her makeup.

I went out of the bank with annoyance, and returned the following day. Fast forward to few months later. I work in a juice manufacturing company so I helped most of my friends to buy directly from the company at a better and cheaper rate. I received a call from my friend that her friend wants me to help her buy some products, and when I made enquiries on who the person was, it happened to be that same customer care lady from the bank. At first, I didn't want to help, but I decided to let go. After, helping her with the products, she apologised for her behaviour at the bank.

Life is a stage. When you know and understand fee things about life, it becomes very easy to be kind to everyone around and even to yourself. .

These are the ways to change yourself to be better and more interesting than before:

1. Learn to appreciate and respect others

There is no one who likes those who are ignorant and can't respect others. We live in a social media era that is full of dynamics and interaction, pausing to exaggerate yourself, Give honest and pure appreciation to others, imagine what kind of comments / praise can make your heart flower? Now do that to others.

2. Learn to find passion in your actions

there are 2 ways to live your passion in life:

You work on your passion and make it your main job (passion paid), You do other work and from there you can pay for your passion. Indeed, not all passion can make money, but it never hurts to live working / doing business outside of your passion.

3. Learn to be creative

Chase your intuition, fill your curiosity, life is broader than just working every day from 8-5 and taking care of your family, We are often taught that the world has gone like that and we only need to live it well without having to fight the current / rules, have a good family life, have fun, and save for the future.

4. Don't be negative or pessimistic

If you bring pessimism to others, if you make other people feel tired, depressed, hopeless, negative.

5. Make others happier and more useful

Being Good is one of the main ways to give meaning to our lives and others. here I summarize some ways to be good to yourself for you...

#do good to yourself

allows you to understand things that cause you pain and disappointment, and allows you to accept your contradictions and inconsistencies. This gives you the heart to handle things about yourself that you don't like. In turn, recognizing yourself will help prevent you from showing your negative side to others, thus allowing you to treat others with love and kindness. In this way, your inner anxiety is handled by funds instead of aggravating your need to project hurt and hurt feelings. Take Time to be more self-conscious and use it to be more generous to yourself (remembering that we all have weaknesses) and to others. With this way,

# a way to do good to others;

Try to practice being kind and generous to others. Unaccustomed to, embarrassed, or not knowing how to reach other people can only be overcome by doing it,

by always trying until it becomes a natural urge to be kind and generous to others Don't be selfish. The greatest good attitude does not expect anything, without conditions, and does not require rewards for what is done or said.

jamesblacks (52) · 6 years ago

Being kind to yourself means that we are doing something wrong, failing, or feeling inadequate when we fail. We treat ourselves with ourselves if, if a good friend, who has a lot of value to us, comes to us with these emotions, we will deal with that friend. How careful we are to comfort her! We treat him with joy and be with him! We support him not to lose hope that we will remind him that we will understand what moments he experiences and experiences, but at the same time we remind him that the world has not come to an end and can still New to start. Now it has more experience than before.

Those who are kind to themselves, when they fail, can quickly squeeze themselves down again to challenge. These people know that spending energy on self-criticizing themselves is just a waste of their energy.

Many people say we do not know how to be kind and we do not know how to speak and how to talk in a calm and warm tone so that we can give a mentality to someone who is dear to us. What can we do to ourselves! But the good news is that this skill is acquired, and anyone can practice by practicing how to be friendly with oneself and others.

Talk to yourself with a nice tone. Put your hand on your heart and hug yourself. Tell yourself what you say to a good friend. Tell me ((I'm so sad that you have such a disturbance, I know you have difficult moments, what do you do to do it?))

Step One: Practice as much as you can talk with others in a calm and kind voice. Talk to yourself and be your own.

Step Two: Do not forget that all humans are incomplete and have incomplete lives. What's your fault, what not! This is a principle, and you are not an exception to it, and it is a falsehood to reach perfection.

Step Three: You must embrace your feelings and never run away from them. We have to face ourselves to solve the first problems. Ask yourself how I know you're having trouble, but how can I help you out of the predicament that Toshi is going through? The first thing you need to do after making a mistake or error is to be honest with yourself and be kind to your embrace. It means that your feelings are important and you are entitled to torture yourself in this difficult situation and do not blame yourself for this error. The torment is part of every human's life, and many others are experiencing the same emotions as you experienced in difficult circumstances.

The people in general are just following what works for them. If they noticed that they need to resort to bribery to get things done, they will. Hence, I think the top officials of the government ought to be blamed if corruption is rampant in that country.

God is nothingness, He is a supreme Being. He is all come passing. God is the conscience within irrespective of your believe. That conscience makes you choose from right and wrong. God has no end, there's no end to God.

Yes, I agree with you. God is love. He love knows no bound. Unlike the earthly love that are sometimes attached to conditions, God's love is unconditional because it is in His nature to love. Love is one of His attributes.

I also agree to the fact that we are all gods. When you have a mind of someone, you tend to think and behave in the manner the person does. I believe, we are created by God in His own image giving us His mind. We are the lesser god and He is the greatest. We are gods because He gave us some powers to do certain things. We are not ordinary, we are unique that makes us gods.

So, there's no accurate definition of what God is all about. He deals and relates with us differently, it shows no limit to His powers.

What is God? If left to ourselves, we have a tendency as humans to merely speculate, guess and marvel concerning a way to answer the question. Or we have a tendency to flip it over to others to try and do our thinking for us—and we have a tendency to inevitably find yourself in an exceedingly futile pursuit for understanding. however the question of United Nations agency and what's God is much too necessary to be left to no matter shifting philosophical fads presently exist or to the prejudiced ideas of skeptics or, for that matter, even to radical spiritual zealots.

There is a book that has existed longer than the philosophies of materialism and humanism. people who wrote this book claimed that they were in person in reality with the one, true Creator God. They say, in fact, that this God truly impressed what they wrote, and that they claimed to grasp Him in person. moreover, they wrote that God encompasses a plan—a purpose—for every human life. They claimed that what they wrote during this book referred to as the Bible is truth—from the God of truth. They staked their lives on it!

Another way to know God is to be willing to require an in depth cross-check what He reveals concerning Himself within the solely book that may be seen as a legitimate supply of knowledge concerning Him. the majority own a Bible, however most people—even Christians—have ne'er very honestly or completely examined the Bible to visualize what it reveals concerning God. you may seemingly be terribly shocked to visualize what God says concerning Himself!

In the pages of the Bible area unit the subsequent revelations from and concerning this one and solely true, eternal Creator God. In every case, we've got enclosed a number of the scriptures that area unit the idea for these statements. Please take a while to browse these verses of the Bible and to have confidence them and their eye-opening conclusions. They are, all told respects, at dramatic odds with the teachings of materialism, humanism and, yes, several common ideas of faith also.

What is God? what's He doing?

Here area unit a number of the foremost important answers to understand:

God could be a family. At the God level 2 Beings exist in an exceedingly family relationship—a Father and a Son, each of whom area unit eternal, spirit, uncreated. within the Bible, each members of the God family area unit named as “God” (John 1:1-3, 14; John 4:24 ; John 20:17, twenty eight ; Ephesians 3:15; Hebrews 1:1-2).

God could be a Father United Nations agency encompasses a purpose—a plan—for each creature United Nations agency has ever lived. That purpose is to become, eventually, within the understanding of God’s set up, the spirit-born sons and daughters of God—children therein same family that currently consists of the daddy and therefore the Son (Genesis one:26; a pair of Corinthians 6:18; Hebrews 2:10; 1 John 3:1-2).

God’s elementary nature is love. God loves His creation and needs to own a private relationship with all United Nations agency area unit willing (1 John 4:7-8; Matthew 11:28; John 6:37; John 14:23; a pair of Corinthians 6:16).

God is holy, with excellent, righteous character; and His purpose is to make in kinsmen that very same righteous and holy character (Revelation 21:3-4; Leviticus 11:44; Book of Deuteronomy 32:4; Matthew 5:48; Psalm 18:30; Psalm 99:9; Philippians 1:11; 3:9).

God has given humanity His law, that could be a reflection of His righteous character; and violation of that law is what He defines as sin (Psalm 119:172; Romans 7:12-14).

Entrance into the God family is created potential for kinsmen by their acceptive God the Father’s gift of the sacrifice of His Son (Jesus Christ) for the forgiveness of their sins (John 3:16; Galatians 1:4; Hebrews 2:9).

The cosmos—the created realm—is a sworn statement to the eternal artistic power of God, that ought to lead folks to believe God’s existence. those that believe materialism area unit, within the judgment of God, “without excuse” for rejecting the conclusion that God exists (Romans 1:19-23; Psalm 19:1-6; Psalm 14:1).

Again, these area unit just some of the items to know concerning God, and solely an summary at that. it's true that we have a tendency to cannot absolutely perceive all there's to grasp concerning God. God isn't restricted by time or house as we have a tendency to area unit.

There area unit some aspects of God that area unit on the far side our comprehension. The Saul aforesaid the maximum amount in his impressed letter to the Romans. “Oh, the depth of the wealth each of the knowledge and data of God! however unsearchable area unit His judgments and His ways that past finding out!” (Romans 11:33). However, God has chosen to reveal quite heap concerning Himself within the Bible, and within the flora and fauna (Romans 1:20). there's quite heap concerning Him that we will know!

If I am in any problem then I will go to my parents and they solve the problem in just few minutes no one is there who can solve my problem accept my parents.

God is invisible we cannot see but we can believe because due to god we are living. God is helping us in every ways. We see God in trees,birds,animals and also in parents because we all worship them as a god or a goddess.

When we are any problem we can solve by going to god and sit in front of them for few minutes and we fill relax.

Elliott shows us that the trending market is moving in "wave patterns 5-3" (5-3 wave patterns). He numbered these waves from one to five, where the odd numbers are called impulses and even numbers called corrections.

Elliott made predictions of market price movements based on unique characters he found in his wave pattern. An impulsive wave, which moves along with the main trend, always showing five waves in the pattern. On a smaller scale, in each impulsive wave, five waves can be found again. And in the smaller pattern, five waves also occur and keep repeating.

In financial markets, each action creates the same opposite reaction as prices rise and fall are followed by opposing movements thereafter. Price movements are divided into trends, corrections, or sideways movements. Trend is the main direction of price movement while correction moves against the trend. Elliott gives the name of the movement impulsively and corrective.

Three Main Rules of Elliott Wave Theory

When analyzing markets and trying to label waves, there are 3 main rules that we cannot leave and change. If an error occurs in labeling the wave, then the consequences can be very dangerous.

- Main Rules Number 1: Wave 3 has NEVER been the shortest wave of impulses

- Main Rules Number 2: Wave 2 NEVER passes the beginning of wave 1

- Main Rules Number 3: Wave 4 NEVER intersects with the same price area as wave 1

Wave Category Series-The Elliott Wave

Theory specifies a series of waves with different names. Sorted from the largest to the smallest, these waves are:

-Grand Supercycle

-Super cycle

-Primary

-Intermediate

-Minor

I think it works well when you look at the past but it doesn't work as well when you try to predict the future. The reason is because it's easy to see the waves after they happen but when they haven't fully formed yet, it becomes much more difficult. It wasn't something that I found useful. If people are good at it, I wonder why so many are making their money teaching others how to use it?

What is the science behind identical twins?

dadurojare (8) · 6 years ago

kwadjobonsu (66) · 6 years ago

The formation of identical twins takes place when after the spermatozoa (sperm) fuses with the ovum ( egg) and forms a zygote, the zygote divides into two. This split usually happens at the earliest stages during development. When the same zygote splits into two, the two halves end up having the same genetic coding or information. Hence nine months later,these two zygotes undergo full developments that results in two babies with identical features.

Well in my opinion, I believe that everything and anything you can do no matter how small is worth it. So a couple of years ago I looked around my environment in my home country of Nigeria and I noticed that it's always dirty. People tend not to care so much about their environment and throw things away on the road like as if it's their personal trash can. This usually leads to clogged gutters and very messy surroundings. After seeing this, I decided that no matter what, I'd never litter again, if I buy anything on the road and I want to throw the rapper away, I'll simply tuck it into my pocket and wait till I see a trash can somewhere.

I tell all my friends about it and now most of them have decided to do the same thing. It may not be much but I'm changing the world in my own little way because to me, if you want to change the world, you must first change yourself.

Improving the World Starts from the Closest Environment

1. Become a volunteer. Joining a charity organization is the right way to improve life in a nearby environment. You can provide help directly and see the impact on the people you help. Give your best by utilizing the skills you have, develop new skills, or join in humanitarian activities in your environment.

2. Reduce the impact of yourself. Another way to improve the world is to reduce your own negative impact on the surrounding environment. Maintaining a good life will have a significant positive impact on the environment and help protect the planet for future generations.

3. Be proud of your area of residence. Take care and be proud of the area where you live. In addition to your own interests, this can also protect others in your community. Make good use of it if there is a chance to help because not everyone has this opportunity. Try to think of various ways to improve the environment in your home.

Improving Global Environmental Conditions

1. Donate through the right charity. In order to be able to help people abroad, you must look for charities that are engaged in certain fields and channel the assistance in the best way. Choose a charity that has provided assistance on an ongoing basis in certain areas.

2. Buy items produced based on the fair trade trading system. Fair trade certification guarantees that goods are produced in working conditions that treat human beings humanely by paying appropriate salaries and decent working conditions. By buying as many products as possible, you show that companies that practice this system have the right to receive more money and encourage other companies to implement the same system.

3. Protect the environment. Do things that can protect the environment globally. The best way is to reduce dependence on fuel from mining and other sources that have a negative impact on the environment. Use public transportation, bicycles, or electric vehicles to travel.

4. Don't waste a lot. Don't overeat, don't buy food that you don't need, and don't buy new clothes every year. Wear clothes that are still suitable for use. Apply a healthy, balanced diet, according to the need so that you don't waste more. Make compost if there is food left.

5. Become an animal rescue activist. As the dominant inhabitants of planet earth, we are responsible for protecting other beings who cannot protect themselves. Many animals suffer and even become extinct because of the way we live today. You can improve the living conditions of animals,

Well no voting system can be 100% perfect so there would be some little faults in the voting system but i am

certain that the voting system is not corrupted,,the voting system is done manually which means that the

curators of this platform manually checks the question or answer before they decide if it is worth an upvote or if it is not....the issue i have with the voting system is that there are some questions that have many meaningful

answers and none of those answers from people got upvotes meanwhile there are some other questions with many answers and all the answers under the questions

are upvotes and it makes it look like there is no balance on upvotes and that is why is some meaninful answers do not get upvotes while some answers that are even

less meaninful get upvote sometimes...i think the curators should look into this and find a solution to it so that everyone writing good answers can get quality share of the upvotes which they deserve...

zaicha (59) · 6 years ago

No, I think that's not true.

Musing upvotes manually so there are fewer chances that their system got corrupted.

The upvoting from musing depends on the criteria defined for the posts.

However, upvotes from musing are also not guaranteed so may be some of your post didn't get an upvote.

I don't think so. Quality posts/answers get upvoted accurately as long as you meet the musing criteria. Yes, some people earn more than others but if you look closely you'll find out that those people answer their questions much better than most.

I think the system is ok and from this point on things can only get better with musing. I believe that if you work hard and find questions that you can answer effectively, you'll get rewarded appropriately by musing.

What can be done to stop heart attack?

dadurojare (8) · 6 years ago

crazycatuncle (50) · 6 years ago

4 steps

Early access - The patient must be tended to quickly. If he does not receive any attention or aid within a few minutes (eg heart attack at home alone), the chances of survival are slim

CPR - Someone must be able to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, with chest compressions on the lower half of the sternum, adequate depth of compression is about 4 to 6cm. Don't worry too much if you hear cracking of the ribs. 30 compressions to 2 breaths (aka the kiss of life). Just ensure that you open the airway before blowing.

Defibrilation - Hopefully, you have already tasked someone else to get you an Automated External Defibrillator while you were doing CPR. Proper and safe use of the AED does boost the survival rate greatly.

Advanced care - Of course, it is too much to hope that bystander intervention is enough to ensure survival. Someone should have called the ambulance or EMS, so that the patient can be brought to hospital for advanced cardiac life support.

Being flagged for absolutely petty reasons or from speaking what's on my mind.

I have been on Steem for over half a year now and one thing I've noticed is that, as much as it likes to claim that it's decentralized and that everyone is FREE to say whatever they want without fear of being censored it is not always the case. I have seen many small accounts, planktons, minnows being flagged for reasons that are quite childish. Some were flagged because they voiced out their opinions about something that involves some of the big fishes in here, while some were flagged as collateral damage from the wars of some of the whales.

I would probably quit Steem after I become a target for voicing out my disagreements like them.

Why Steemit doesn't providing SBD as reward for a long time ?

facttechz (56) · 6 years ago

$0.09

jlordc (69) · 6 years ago

The STEEM Blockchain has rules put in place to determine when to pay SBD and/or STEEM. And is based solely on the SBD Debt ratio. (To which you can check here: http://www.steemreports.com/steem-sbd-info/ and is currently at 6.75%

Currently the rules are:

When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is between 0% and 2%: The Blockchain will pay 0% STEEM, 100% SBD.
When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is between 2% and 5%: linearly changes from 0% STEEM, 100% SBD to 100% STEEM, 0% SBD.
When the STEEM/SBD debt ratio is greater than 5%: 100% STEEM, 0% SBD.

As seen on the link above, the current SBD Debt Ratio is greater than 5% (currently at 6.75%), thus the rule is to pay all liquid rewards in 100% Steem 0%SBD or simply ALL in Steem. This rules however will be changed on the next HardFork and will be increased to 9-10% instead of the current 5%+.

fknmayhem (70) · 6 years ago (edited)

That is controlled by the price feed and also the debt ratio of STEEM-SBD.

SBD is a debt issued token and the $1 peg ($1 of STEEM as per whitepaper) is only guaranteed up to 10% of debt ratio. When the STEEM price (feed) is low, like now, and in the months before much SBD has been printed to pay out rewards, then the debt ratio can increase very quickly because the price of SBD is pegged to the value of $1 of STEEM, yet the market value of STEEM goes down.

The Steem blockchain has a mechanism built-in which starts to reward out in also STEEM when the debt ratio increases and reaches certain levels. At some point, like now, that may result in being paid out only in STEEM. Currently this is being triggered at 2% debt ratio and from 2-5% debt the amount of rewards which are paid out in STEEM rather than in SBD linearly increases. If the debt ratio goes beyond 5% then no more SBD is printed but everyone is rewarded in STEEM.

And in vests (SP) too, of course.

With HF20 the debt ratio correction will kick in later than it does now and only be triggered at 9% debt.

Top 20 witness @timcliff has an excellent post about SBD and how it functions.

Since you have tagged your question under the game category, I'm going to assume that you are referring to the game (and website) slither.io.

Slither.io is a popular online multiplayer game in which players take on the role of a worm trying to grow and become the biggest worm (as measured by length, which is also your score). Slither.io games/servers will typically have several hundred players on at the same time, so when you enter a game you will have plenty of competition to deal with. A leaderboard of the top 10 players currently in your game is displayed in the upper right corner of your screen, and if you reach #1 amongst all players at the end of a day, then you can have a message displayed to all of Slither.io's players.

While playing the game, you grow your worm by collecting pellets, which can either be spawned naturally by the game or generated when a worm dies. Pellets coming from a dead worm tend to shine more brightly than normal pellets, and also award more length.

You can also give yourself a temporary speed boost (how to do it will vary depending on if you're playing in a browser or on a mobile device) at a cost of some of your length. The length lost in conducting a speed boost will appear as a trail of pellets behind your worm, so it is possible to recover that lost length later, if another player hasn't eaten the pellets first.

The most important rules are: (1) once you begin a game, you can never stop moving, and (2) if your head runs into any barrier (another worm or the edge of the map), you die and have to start over. Because of (2), the strategy for growing big quickly is to kill other worms (or be near a location where a lot of worm-killing is going on) and pick up the pellets that are left behind.

I hope that my answer gave you the information that you were looking for.

Slither is a worm with many colors.

Slither.io is an online game with the genre: 3D Games and Multiplayer Games. This game uses slithers that are shaped like worms. Don't be afraid or feel amused because this slither worm is so funny.

slither is a small worm, so my job is to make the slither grow big. To make the Slither grow big, then you have to eat light or it can also be called fireflies on the road. But remember, you can't die. If you die, the game will end and have to repeat from the beginning. You don't hit another Slither, or you will die. To kill another Slither, you must block their path.

Slither.io is a Multiplayer game that is available on a browser developed by Steve Howse. Interactive players like, who take the color of pellets from other players, and people who do different things. The purpose of this service is to grow the longest on the server. Creeping.io is similar in the popular concept of Agar.io's 2015 web game and turns on the classic Snake arcade game. The game grew in popularity as a promotion among several YouTube users such as PewDiePie. A mobile version of the game for Android was released on March 27, 2016, and entertained the top of the App Store <meta /> shortly after its release.

Gameplay

The aim of the game is to control and move snakes (or worms for most players) around colored areas, eat pellets to get mass, defeat and consume other players to grow the biggest and longest in the game. If the player's snake head collides into another part of the snake, the player loses the game and must start from the beginning. Defeated avatars of the body turn bright, shining pellets for other players to consume. This fixed pellet of "death" avatar will match the color of the avatar itself. Pellets also spawn another avatar snake. By pressing the space bar or mouse click, the player can activate "boost mode", which causes the avatar to speed up. When a player does not use "boost mode", snakes lose mass causing snake size to shrink a little. The mass lost from the impulse that appears in the line where the impulse is used. This feature is useful for overcoming and defeating opponents. The drawback is that the avatar will reduce the air temperature while speed-pushing.

There is a border that limits the avatar in a circular board game. If the snake concerns the border, the player loses the game, but will not turn into the pellet. A good strategy to defeat and consume enemies is to circle and thus trap them in a snake player, which leads to the inevitable "death" of the opponent. According to the application description in the Apple App Store, the player with the biggest snake at the end of the day will send " message of victory "to the world.

You'll quickly notice the sea creature analogies that correspond to one's role in the STEEM ecosystem. If you're investing a small amount, you're a minnow. A medium amount makes you a dolphin. A large amount bestows upon you the grand title of whale.

I suspect that the correlation is directly related to the cryptocurrency industry as a whole, where "whales" are the investors with the greatest influence on the market (due to their immense holdings).

The same can be said about whales on the Steem blockchain. Since they have the largest percentage of Steem Power, they wield the greatest amount of influence on the platform.

They can make a big splash, and we all feel the effects of the resulting waves.

It is a known fact that around 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water. The Ocean, the largest body of water is a metaphor to the Crypto world and the largest creature in the world which coincidentally lives in the ocean is The Whale.

Thus those with huge stake and investment in the Crypto World are called Whale as reference to the largest creature in the real world.

Whales in crypto market are making market up and down due to their high investment and also lot of coin they have. The users with huge amount of steem power can upvote the answer with good reward and for that they get curation reward from steemit. So people with huge steem power is good whales.

The purpose of the whales is to make a market green and so people enters in the market they suddenly leave and market crashed and after that they enter in new coin and make a huge profit and they do daily one trade and earned good amount of Bitcoin and so they are said to be whales.

How atheism is changing the world?

akdx (66) · 6 years ago

kutrulaju (54) · 6 years ago

According to the Gallup international survey of more than 50,000 respondents in 57 countries, the number of people claiming to be religious fell from 77% to 68% between 2005 and 2011, while those who claim to be atheists increase by 3% - so that the estimated number of those who do not believe in religion in the world is estimated at 13%.

Surely It is impossible to predict the future, but by examining what we know about religion - why until there is religion at first, and why do some people choose to believe and there are those who choose to leave it - can give a clue how our relationship with God has affected in the next decade or century.

Scholars are still trying to sort out the complex factors that drive a person or nation towards atheism, but there are some similarities between them.

Part of the appeal of religion is that religion offers security in this uncertain world. No wonder, countries that report high levels of atheism tend to be countries that give their citizens a relatively high economic, political and existence stability. Security in society seems to reduce religious beliefs. Capitalism, accompanied by technology and education also seems to correlate with reduced religion in a number of populations.

We have world changers who believe in religion and God same way we also have world changers who are atheist...in my own opinion atheism is not what is really changing the world,what is really changing the world is the atttitude and values that many

individuals have and add to the society,,there are many individuals that have sacrificed or sacrificing alot to create lovely innovations that changes the world,some individuals also have created their own kind of beliefs that is making many

people around the world to begin to have new ways of doing things,,though there are beliefs by some people that countries with the highest level of atheists tend to

be in a better condition than countries with low numbers of athiests and more religious people,i disagree with that because what makes a country great depends on the leaders of that country and also its

citizens,,it is not being religious or non-religious that makes a country to have a better economy and good infrastructural development,what makes a country

great is having individuals in the government of a country that are working so hard and deligently to make its citizens to live comfortably and enjoy all the human

resources and natural resources in that country......being a christian or a muslim or an atheist should not stop anyone from doing the right things that will change the world positively....

Prosocial behavior is a behavior that has the intention to change the physical or psychological state of the recipient of the assistance from the less good to the better, in a material and psychological sense. In this case it can be said that prosocial behavior aims to help improve the well being of others, with a view to supporting the welfare of others.

sanmi (64) · 6 years ago

I am no expert of psychology, however, in my own understanding, I believe the feel good factor is the most promising factor, that drives us to help others. And I think, the background of that feeling comes from how you understand life, what matters to us in different times (ages), what is that you brought here and what is that you are going to take when you finally depart.

There are many people who are uber rich , and can definitely do a lot to help others directly or indirectly. However, they are busy with their own life mostly, and realize the truth when its very late.

When we are past certain age ( say 60 or more), all we need is mental piece and strength. And no amount of wealth can buy it. So if you have done something good for others, then that goodwill is going to come back and help you live a better life at that time.

After all, we have brought nothing here, nor we will take anything when we finally depart.

Maybe not everyone can help us but if you have heard the term that we are now experiencing a crisis of empathy, maybe the term isn't entirely wrong. News, videos on social media, even events around us have supported this thought. For example, when an accident, fight, harassment, murder or bad thing happened to someone else, did everyone around him immediately help him? Popbela.com believes that only a small percentage will react immediately, or even wait for one person to take the initiative to help the victim. The 'anti-empathy' phenomenon is called the bystander effect. 1. Mass indifference Some studies reveal that someone will volunteer to help if he is the only eyewitness to the incident. In fact, the smaller the number of eyewitnesses, the more likely they are to show a reaction to help others. In other words, the events witnessed by many people may not get immediate help because many eyewitnesses.

This usually differs person to person but the most common factors that makes people help others are:

The Benefit they will get in return -It is human nature to be selfish. Even the most generous and helpful people want something in return for the things they do. This could range from simple things like attention or simply the satisfaction of achieving something to more selfish reasons like money and a possible favour in the future. One is likely to help if they get something out of it.
If it doesn't negatively affect them in any way - This might sound confusing after reading the one above but this goes mostly along with the that one. Consider a very rich person like Bill Gates helping those in-dire-need of money. One possible reason why he is likely to help is simply because he can and it doesn't directly affect his wealth. On a plus side, he might also get something from doing it and that is publicity.
Mood - Often times when one is in a a pretty good mood chances are he/she will be willing to help. Mood affects emotions and thus can empathize more to those in need.
Can Relate to the Situation one is in - When one have personally experienced the same thing as those who are in-need of help, he/she is likely to help as they know what that person is currently going through

Some people want to help others if they believe that the person they are trying to help will be useful to them in the future...

some people want to help others because they genuinely have passion for helping people and they believe that is their own best way to give back to the society

some people also want to help others in other to get some sexual relationship with the person...

and there are also some people that help others just to use it as a way of seeking validation from the public or use it as a publicity stunt,,this is common among some celebrities especially those that love attention so much...

so the bottomline is that different people have different reasons why they help others....

Factors Affecting Helpful Behavior

Situational Factors

1. The presence of others

Research conducted by Darley and Latane, 1970 (in Taylor et al., 2009: 479) shows the results that people who see an emergency event would prefer to help when they are alone rather than with others. Because if only one person witnessed the victim suffer, he was fully responsible for responding to the situation and would feel guilty if he did not intervene. But if several people are present in the situation, assistance will come from various sources.

Staub (1978) (in Sampson, 1976 in Dayakisni, 2009) precisely finds a contradiction with the above phenomenon, because in his research it was proven that individuals who pair up or with other people prefer to act prosocial than when individuals are alone. Because with the presence of others will encourage individuals to be more compliant with social norms that are motivated by hope of getting praise.

2. Helping those who are liked (Helping Those You Like)

Most studies are more interested in researching the help a person gives to strangers, because it is clear that the person will be very likely to help family members and friends. A person will tend to help strangers who become victims, if the victim has similarities (age, race) with the helper (Shaw, Borough, & Fink in Baron, Byrne, & Branscombe, 2006 in the thesis of Doris Evalina, 2010).

3. Sacrifice to be incurred

Although prospective rescuers do not experience obscurity of responsibility, but if sacrifice (for example, money, time, energy, risk of physical injury) is anticipated too much, then it is less likely for him to act prosocial (William, 1981 in Dayakisni & Hudaniah, 2009). On the other hand, if sacrifice is low with strong gurus, people will be better prepared to provide assistance (Baron & Byrne, 1994 in Dayakisni & Hudaniah, 2009).

4. Attribution to victims

A person will be motivated to provide assistance to others if he assumes that victim misfortune is beyond the victim's control (Weiner, 1980 in Sarwono, 2009: 133). Therefore, someone will be more willing to contribute to disabled and old beggars compared to healthy and young beggars. Thus, help will not be given if bystander assumes that a less favorable event on the victim is due to the victim's own fault (internal attribution).

Personal Factors

1. Mood (mood)

A person's emotions can influence his tendency to help

(Baron, Byrne & Branscome, 2006 in Sarwono, 2009). Own emotion

often divided into two parts, namely positive and negative emotions.

Positive emotions, In general, someone who is in a good mood will be more likely to display helping behavior. There is a lot of evidence that people are willing to help in a state of good mood, for example after finding money (Isen & Simmonds, 1978 in Taylor, 2009: 471), or when they have just found a gift (Isen & Levin, 1972 in Taylor, 2009: 471) or after listening to pleasant music (Fried & Berkowitz, 1979 in Taylor, 2009: 471). Positive mood causes us to have more positive thoughts and we help to maintain the positive mood (Taylor, et al, 2009: 472).

Negative emotions, In general, someone who is in a negative mood is less likely to help others. It is true, that a person who is not happy (unhappy) is focusing on the problem, tends to be less in prosocial behavior. The effects of bad mood on helping actions are more complex (Carlson & Miller, 1987 in Taylor, 2009), bad mood causes us to focus on ourselves and our needs, then this will reduce our chances of helping others. However, on the other hand negative emotions can have a positive impact on helping behavior. If we think that helping others causes us to feel better and reduce our bad feelings, then we are more likely to help (Cialdini, Darby, & Vincent, 1973; Schaller & Cialdini, 1988 in Taylor et al., 2009)

2. Nature

Some studies show that there is a relationship between a person's characteristics and his tendency to help. People who have forgiving nature (forgiveness), he will have a tendency to be easy to help (Karremans, et al, 2005 in Sarwono, 2009).

It really depends on the person who will lend a helping hand

In my case I do help those persons that really needs my help. As long as I have the capability to help them I always lend a hand for them.

I also like to help those persons who also help others

I remember when I was on college

Being a student that can make programs I was always asked to help others which I really like.

I like helping them, with this I also learn new things and help me improve my skills.

So there was this time that a bunch of my classmates ask for my help

Of course I didn't hesitate and help them, we spend a couple of days and night making their projects. I was the one who lend a hand when there are things that they don't really get.

I was like a human debugger at that time

So for those who was not a computer programmer or didn't know how to write codes. Debugger or Debugging is the process of identifying and removing the error in the codes they have written. So i was like the human error checker for them, but I like it. I was encountering some problems that I didn't encounter in my own project and I was really learning many thing back then.

So going back, we all manage to pass our projects on time. They all thanked me, and of course the help was free of charge. I even spend my own money just to help them until one of them make a big mistake . . .

We are having a designing assignment, we need to make our own house design.

Of course not all have a talent at drawing and designing, I also myself don't have that talent but I still make my own.

One of my classmate ask for help, and I found out that a person whom I helped will ask for money just to make a house design. I was really angry back then, how could he ask for money despite me helping him for FREE!?

So from there I decided to not help him again, and if the time comes that he asked for my help I would also ask for some payment.

It's a good thing that my decision reached him and not ask for my help again

I really would help all the people around me but I guess if you end up being such a greedy person whom take payment for some help I would rather throw my time sleeping at the house than use it to help you

I would not really want to say a particular person or people should be blamed for moral decadence in the society but i would just talk about one or two factors that could be among the factor that increases moral decadence in the society...

INTERNET

We now live ina society whereby many people most especially underage kids that now easily have access to internet and easily have access to some websites which

they are not supposed to ever visit e.g porn websites,,you will be surprised at the numbers of very young people that visits pornography website weekly and the increased rate is becoming worrisome and it is

also making the moral decadence in the society to grow higher and higher and it is having a very negative effect on the society....

TV/MOVIES

Almost everyone of different ages have television in their house and have the abilities to watch the TV or watch movies at anytime which they want,,these days we see a lot of butt shaking,nudity ,smoking of

dangerous substance and different immoral displays being showed on many music videos and movies and

many people both old and young tend to often watch this things because it is very common on television these days and when some people most espcially young people see all these things on the media they

assume it is the right way or the current trend to live life in the society and they begin to practice what they see on the TV and it becomea a habit which they do not want to leave even as they grow old,,adults too are not left out in this growing problem...

As if teenagers are now the source of all problems. No need to look far, just pay attention to the teenage problems that occur around us today.

In plain view, anyone will not deny that. But how unfortunate is the generation that should be well educated, those who will play a role someday, have been damaged from now on. What will become a nation if the youth can only get drunk and lose control of the moral majesty that should be protected and saved by its integrity?

Who should be blamed? Let's assume. But one thing, don't be rash about blaming our teenagers for their actions in this modernization era. Who? Give feedback to yourself.

Parents are the first teen tapes we have to investigate. The extent of the filtration of parents at home to the pattern of teenagers outside. Is there a mutual communication? Ataumiscomunication so as to cause our teenagers to fall into a unfiltered Westernization culture.

The role of parents is very necessary, and is the first thing that teenagers consume when opening their eyes in the morning. It is necessary to have a good role for the growth and moral development of adolescents today.

Parents' responsibility is not only limited to giving their teenagers food, shelter, or outward needs. But far from that, spiritual values need to be planted so that they are ingrained in themselves and in their daily relationships. These spiritual values will drive teenagers out of free association today. Without spiritual basic capital, it would be difficult to invite teenagers to make peace with the times that dragged him to continue to participate in the bonds of free promiscuity today.

We don't need to dodge, you as a parent, me, and we can all see the reality that is happening now. Teenage style, very popular weekly nights, consumption of illegal drugs, freedom that causes no courtesy, even freesex as the implementation of liberalism which we fear so much has spread in our teenagers' lives today. This is what we need to cry, remembering our teenagers who don't have self-esteem (again).

After parents, we move to the environment. This environment is broad, in it includes education, both formal and non-formal, only then the environment to get along.

Does an upvote on musing.io increase one's reputation on steemit.com? / https://musing.io/q/zyzymena/p3jslmsv5

joyce-okpobo (59) · 6 years ago

Yes it does. The quality of upvote you get from a comment or a post on your blog is what determines the rate of growth of your reputation.

I have a friend who joined steemit about three months ago. As at three weeks ago, her reputation was about 48 because she's really been active in the community through posts on her blog and comments on other people's post. About two weeks ago, she made a post that got her a 30$ upvote and her reputation sky rocketed from 48-52. That's her current reputation. Meanwhile, it took me months to get to same reputation that she attained in about a week.

Talking about musing, their upvote has a way of boosting one's reputation. About last week, I was on 52 Reputation but since I found musing, my reputation is currently 54 in about a week because I've been very active here through my engagements in answering questions on musing. It can only get better.

Considering this current rate of growth, I see myself hitting a reputation of 60 before this month ends as long as I'm consistent here. Its possible and it is achievable. Thanks to musing.

Yes. Your reputation on steemit.com reflects all votes that you have received from anywhere in the STEEM blockchain. Thus, if you receive an upvote from any user on musing.io, that will also cause your reputation on steemit.com to increase.

You may not notice the difference if you're relying on steemit.com though, because the number next to your username only represents your reputation level as a whole number, which itself is determined as a function of your actual reputation score or points. You can use sites like steemworld.org or steemnow.com to see your reputation level to up to 3 decimal places, or you can use steemd.com and see your true reputation score there.

cryptocopy (62) · 6 years ago

The short answer is Yes. Our reputation in Steemit "will increase or decrease based on the upvotes or downvotes you receive". So, every upvote from Musing.io counts to add to our Reputation Score.

For a more detailed answer, our reputation in Steemit will increase with an upvote from Musing.io, but the degree that an upvote from the @musing account will affect our reputation depends on two things: our current reputation and how much Reward Shares the @musing account has.

In the first case, you should know that it is several times harder to go from one Reputation Score Level to the next. So, the same amount of upvote you get from Musing.io will have less impact on your reputation as you move from, say a 50 Reputation Score to a 51 Reputation Score. With the second case, because the Musing.io's account has a pretty big Reward Share based on its Steem Power and its relative strength compared to other curators who vote on our answers, then it can definitely add to our Reputation Score.

Is cheating happening because of lack of commitment and not keeping promises and what are the reasons?

putraceh (46) · 6 years ago

Commitment in a relationship is one of the things that can make a partner survive, as well as keeping promises. Is cheating happening because of lack of commitment and not keeping promises and what are the reasons?

$0.00

jlordc (69) · 6 years ago

Could be. But I personally think that people cheat because of this reasons:

They are curious and want to experience new things - Often times when you are in a long relationship with someone, one just can't help feel bored doing the same thing over and over again. Because of how long the relationship is now, people have it hard to break up with their partner and oftentimes just choose to cheat in secret in hope to experience new things with that person.
They want emotional validation - In conjunction with the first one, there is a "thrill" one feels when cheating. It somewhat makes them nervous, scared, etc.. and thus makes them feel alive, a much more better feeling than boredom. Some also feels underappreciated and seek that validation from someone else that they matter in this world.
They are not satisfied sexually - Believe it or not, sex is placed higher in the hierarchy of needs that humans need for survival along with food, water, sleep and clothing. When physical intimacy is not enough and does not satisfy one partner, people often seek that satisfaction from someone else.

kwadjobonsu (66) · 6 years ago

People cheat on their partners for different reasons. Often, when one partner feels that he or she has been neglected by the other for a long time, they end up hanging out with other people they are attracted to which sometimes leads to an adulterous relationship. In a simpler term, the crave for attention can lead to cheating should one partner feel neglected by the other. Some also cheat on their partner due to the inability of one partner to satisfy the other in bed. A relationship is usually the haven for sexual activities, hence if there isn't any sex going on or there are several issues with performance in the bedroom, this can trigger cheating.

peer pressure especially when the person moves along with the kind of friends that are cheats too,,some people

also cheat due to lack of commitments in the relationship,so there are various reasons why people

also do not be careless in terms of security...

kwadjobonsu (66) · 6 years ago

As an African, I would say that every country has its own set of regulations. Hence, in order to know what not to do, first acquaint yourself with the rules of the country or town that you have visited or would want to visit. Various town and cities in Africa have diverse culture; each with its own set of rules and regulations. So I would advise you to research on the country as well as the town before you even get there. Also, if you are already there, feel free to ask for assistance from any native or citizen of that town or country.

If you were to rank your interacting experience on musing on a scale from 1 to 10 how much would you give it?

acesontop (71) · 6 years ago

$0.00

valth (68) · 6 years ago

I would rank it at a 3. I know it's low, but let me explain why:

Most posts on Musing a with little or no interactions at all. The only interaction I see is a question and an answer. I rarely get a "thank you" when I spend a lot of time answering a question. While the upvotes from @musing are very nice, I don't think it's too much to ask to say "thank you" to people who spend a lot of time answering the questions.

Sometimes I also ask follow-up questions in my answer. I will try my best to explain the answer, but sometimes I need the asker to be more specific about a certain part of their question, which could then allow me to give more details about the answer. Most of the times I do this I get no replies at all. This indicates that the asker either didn't bother to respond to me (which is actually quite rude when I spent time to answer a question), or maybe didn't even read the answer at all! If the latter assumption is true, then it just means that they asked a random question in hopes of getting it upvoted (and I think there are lots of those people around here still).

So while I do like the idea and functionality of the Musing platform, I believe that the interaction-part of the application still have miles to go before it get to a good point. So for this reason I give it a really low score right now, but I hope to be able to give it a better score in the future.

And keep in mind that what I wrote does not apply to everyone; I have also had a few nice interactions here, but the majority are interactions are still next to non-existent.

Musing.io is one of my favorite places in the Steem Blockchain, right now, so I would rank it a 10.

First, I have had a lot of great interactions here. I've discovered a few interesting users who I have never encountered before and it has been fun interacting with them. Second, since using the platform, my account has experienced tremendous growth--from my Reputation, to the number of accounts following me, and my Steem Power. All of this growth, is of course, due to the very generous upvotes I have received from Musing.io.

However, believe it or not, my favorite part of Musing.io is the amount of interesting questions I have been able to answer. Just the other day, for example, I was asked about the most addictive book I have ever read. Thinking about it, I was reminded of one of my favorite sci-fi series, The Nightside, and as a result, here I am reading that again, for the first time in 5 years.

So, that's why I rank my Musing.io experience so highly. And I've only been here for a little over two weeks!

I had a great experience with musing. I therefore, ranks it about 8 out of 10.

Musing is very much helpful to me in number of ways. Such as:-

It enables to broaden my vision.

I can get different point of view for a single problem/ question.

It also enable me to get some earning while sharing my knowledge.

It also allows me to ask question and clear my doubts.

herbertholmes (56) · 6 years ago (edited)

I've only been here for about a day and so far I am impressed with how it seems to be growing. I would hope that more threads and topics appear soon, and I am pretty happy with it. I would rate musing.io itself a lot higher than the interaction here.

In my brief experience here, I have spent a lot of time scrolling and bopping around trying to find questions that I actually had a valuable answer to. Half the time I was trying to decide if I could even decipher what they were asking because the grammar was so poor. And half of them were almost copy and pasted questions. But, I found a few and took a lot of time to write a response the best I could.

From my very brief experience, I only keep mentioning that because it could differ from others' very much, and I haven't been here long, people don't even read the replies. They post non-sensical questions just trying to get a vote from musing. And then half the replies don't relate to the question at all, and seem to just be random gibberish somewhat related to something in the keywords.

I think musing is a great platform and has a lot of potential. However, it needs a better user base. We need to be better at selecting which questions to answer and which to ask. I say "we" but realize that anyone reading this isn't part of the problem. I think it can get better.

So I'm a 20 year old Nigerian kid and my role model is superman. So after watching man of steel and seeing Henry Cavill topless, I decided I wanted to be like that and I started lifting weights. I was so determined that I started training and my coach was telling me to slow down. But I wouldn't hear it. Then he told me that since I wasn't going to stop he was gonna give me an ultimatum. Either I pushed a 100kg bar bell or he dropped me. I think he just wanted me to fail so I would slow down but either way I wasn't

sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm big for my age and I weigh around 85kg but the thought of lifting my weight and then some was horrifying. But if I wanted my superman body, I'd have to do it. So I laid down, heart racing and put my hands on the bar and I pushed...

And it was crushing my chest before I knew it .

My trainer didn't help, he already told me he wouldn't help if I washing something I couldn't. My options were pass out or push it. Break it or make it. And I made it. With everything I had and a scream, I pushed it and placed it back. Damn, I felt so strong that day.

What are the ways of preventing spouse treason ?

jaketaxi (53) · 6 years ago

$0.00

photogeartop (54) · 6 years ago

Betrayal in healthy relationships is usually considered as a red line and, if it happens, can threaten the relationship itself. In relationships, usually, different things can change our perception of our partner, but betraying in the end can change the relationship itself and leave us in a continuous or disconnected relationship.

Reasons for betrayal in marriage

1. Weak emotional relationship

The weak emotional relationship is always one of the main reasons for treason in marriage. A person who can not find a relationship and does not make sense for him usually tends to establish another relationship. This other relationship creates more conflicts for the individual.

2. Mental illnesses

Diseases and mental disorders can also be the reason for the creation of parallel relationships and marital infidelity. People who are betrayed for this reason can usually have more compatible life with medication and psychotherapy. These people can have diseases such as bipolar disorder or personality disorder and demo ......

3. Failure to solve the problem

Failure to solve a problem can increase conflicts and increase marital dissatisfaction. When marital satisfaction goes down, people see their relationships meaningless, and this can undermine their re-engagement and create relationships outside the framework.

4. Adventure and diversity

Some people also make other ties to satisfy their sense of diversity and adventure. These people are incapable of controlling this model of impulses, and will often try to establish new relationships with the advent of their ambition and diversity.

5. Coldness in sexual relations

Sexual health can be reduced for a variety of reasons. These reductions can be due to pregnancy, depression, distraction, travel and other conditions. At these times, the likelihood of establishing parallel relationships outside of the framework is greatly increased. Sometimes getting a sexual counseling can take a marital relationship out of cold and frustration.

6. Poverty and social issues

This model of betrayal is seen in societies where poverty is high. In these societies, women engage in sexual activity in the form of money laundering or financial relations with one person for financial gain and money. Also, in workplaces, one can see that in order to achieve better situations, people can be betrayed in the context of their relationships.

Preventing spouse's betrayal

In order to prevent the betrayal of spouses, it is necessary to increase the quality of the relationship increasingly. Most people who are in marriage have the first days of life to be very sweet and without problems. The reason is that these people at these times their expectations are commensurate with their emotional partner. But gradually, people see their emotional partners as their own mental image, not what the person really is. This mode creates a huge gap in the ideal image of the partner of his wife with what really is. As a result, it can cause more coldness and interruption of emotional and betrayal. Knowing the reasons for betraying a wife can help prevent trafficking, you can find the reasons for her coldness by paying attention to her. At this time, counselors and psychotherapists review these thoughts and emotions to correct these images. It can also be prevented by improving the quality of the relationship either educationally or as a therapeutic one.

Spouse treason? Lol. First time I read it like that.

The best way is treating them well and looking out for them, but also being attentive to their activity. Try to trust them, try to be trusted, don't behave jealous or you'll cause a reverse-psychology reaction in which they'll cheat on you because of that.

If your bedroom is dead (if you don't have sex), both of you will have a strong tendency to discharge your sexual tension in some other place.

The lesson is, as long as you're a good couple and you're attentive and careful, there won't be much cheating, but if you are insufficient in a few aspects, trust that your partner will look to take care of those aspects with some other person.

hareestuni (48) · 6 years ago

Infidelity Is a betrayal that you cannot tolerate, because once cheating, not closing a guaranteed partner will repeat the same thing if you have a chance. So if you don't want your partner to cheat and betray, you must still pay attention and care for your partner's life and life.

Here are some tips for couples not having an affair

1. make an agreement

Make an initial agreement in your relationship what consequences the couple must accept when caught cheating, whether you will immediately terminate your relationship After making an agreement about your self-limitation, you also have to make consequences if the couple breaks the boundary of yourself and the agreement that you made at the beginning of your relationship.

2. you have to try new things in your relationship

do not be lazy to be creative to look for other intelligent communication so that your relationship is not boring. You must try to give your partner a new surprise.

Giving Freedom does not mean leaving it just like that.

3. Keep giving care and attention to your partner

You still need to be able to give him attention and little surprises so he still feels you remember him in the midst of your busy life. as long as you are in a relationship.Don't just be busy with your own world until you don't have time to pair up

give your partner more attention

Don't just be busy with your own world even forgetting your partner and not having time for a partner

give him your love and affection, make him comfortable comfortable near you

Fear often hits some people, especially for those who pursue certain targets But the fear of excessive failure can make people experience paralysis. Those who do not dare to try will never succeed.

In any business, the best mindset is realistic. Fear of failure is a positive alarm for you to be careful in stepping. If you are afraid of facing failure, then make a more mature plan that reduces the risk of failure. And that fear will disappear by itself along with a careful and thorough plan.

Oh wow, the three best rappers of all time. For me I'd have to give the top spot to the king himself **TUPAC** He died in over two decades ago and his music is still relevant to this very day!!!

Next up is **Eminem**!!! In an age when rapping was a predominantly African American thing he proved that the colour of your skin has nothing to do with what talent you possess!!! Besides, I don't think there's a single rapper that could go up against him in a rap battle and come out alive

Finally I have to respect the motherland and give this to **M.I**. I dare to say that he singlehandedly revitalised hip hop in Nigeria and maybe even Africa. He paved the way for rappers like Ikechukwu, Nasty Ç, Aka, Ice Prince, Jesse Jaggz and so many others to show their talents in Africa!!

What can be done to stop double standards in many relationships?

dadurojare (8) · 6 years ago

cryptosharon (69) · 6 years ago

Relationships have roles. Usually, there will be double standards in any social environment where people have roles. If A is expected to do Y and B is expected to do Z, you can't expect for B to be available for Y and viceversa.

This has been changing nowadays but it is very slow due to a lack of education in the paper that each gender and role has to play out in the relationship.

An easy way to stop these double standards is to open dialogue about them. If you're communicating consistently with your partner or with your friends, you will see that these things will either stop or become so obvious that you will have to decide whether to end the friendship or continue despite the double standards.

The most interesting fact I have ever heard about the human eye:

"It's the only organ that is the same size from the day you're born, until the day you die."

10 Amazing Human Eye Facts

1. Never rest

Maybe you think that when you are taking a nap, your eyes rest but actually the eyes never really rest. The eyelids and the outer muscles of the eye can sometimes, but the main organs are completely rested.

2. The strongest muscle

The strongest muscles in the body lie in the eye. They are responsible for moving the eyes. So, forget your strong arms and legs, the muscles in your eyes are much stronger.

3. The eyes are very fragile

Apart from the fact that the eye is the most important organ in the body and is responsible for about 85% of the information obtained by humans, the eyes are so fragile. Eye weight is only about 28 grams.

4. Flashes 12 times per minute

In one minute, the average eye blinks 12 times and the blink lasts for one tenth of a second, so humans actually spend more time with their eyes closed than they realize.

5. Blind spots

Every human eye has a hole known as blind spots. This spot is the result of communication between the retina and the optic nerve despite the impact of blind spots on the eye that are almost invisible because both eyes work hand in hand to compensate for other blind spots.

6. 39 million blind people

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 39 million people worldwide are blind, while more than 239 million people suffer from a visual impairment.

7. Eye transplantation

The eye is one of the organs that cannot be transplanted, because the optic nerve that connects the eye to the brain is so fragile. Thus it is almost impossible for eye reconstruction to succeed.

8. Heal very fast

The eye is one of the fastest recovering organs. Within 48 hours, treated corneal scratches will heal completely.

9. Tears

Have you ever noticed that newborn babies do not produce tears when they cry? This is because the tear glands have not fully developed, until the baby is around 2-4 months old.

10. Eye color

Some people have different eye colors, this is known as heterochromia. The color of the two eyes is different from the innate at birth.

How does it work if I buy SP on blocktrades as opposed to buying delegated SP?

netscape101 (39) · 6 years ago

I can understand if you buy delegated SP on blocktrades ,they just delegate the SP to you. But what happens when you buy SP on blocktrades. How do I send SP without powrring down and sending it as steem?

If you have Steem, you will use it to power up steem power directly from your own wallet. If you have SBD, you should buy steem from the internal market (with 0 transaction fees) and use the steem to power up. There is no advantage of using Steem or SBD to 'buy' sp from blocktrades. In fact, you lose a small transaction % fee in the process.

Blocktrades has the option of selling steem power is mainly for those who wish to convert from other cryptocurrencies, such as BTC or ETH. Blocktrades provide a fast, convenient and relatively low fees for the conversion. Again, converting your BTC/ETH to steem or steem power is essentially the same. You get back the same amount converted.

If you ask me, I would prefer to buy Steem from blocktrades, instead of steem power. Once I got the Steem in my wallet, I can then decide to power up to Steem Power whenever I wish to.

Your question "How do I send SP without powrring down and sending it as steem?". Why would you want to do that? It has no benefit.

If you buy steempower on blocktrades then the steempower become permanently yours which means you can do anything with it,you can even delegate the

steempower to anyone else if you want..you can power down anytime you want....

but saying someone is “buying a delegated steempower” is not even the right words to use,the right

words to use is that the person is “leasing the steempower” which means that the person will pay blocktrades a specific amount to get some

steempowers delegated to him or her for a certain period of time before it is undelegated and such delegated steempower cannot be powered down by the person who received the delegated steempower

and also it means that the person can only use the delegated steempower to give upvotes on the steemit platform,and the steempower will be undelegated from

the user when they have completed the period of time at which they leased the steempower for e.g if the user leased steempower for three months then the steempower will be un-delegated when the time is up....

so that is why buying of steempower is better than leasing steempower because leasing steempower has some restrictions when using it on the steemit olatform...

The answer to this question is pretty simple. Buying SP simply means you are converting the respective cryptocurrency into STEEM Power that has no expiry date. Thus, such STEEM Power are there to stay. Purchasing such SP is basically the same as buying STEEM, 'cause the price or exchange rate is the same as purchasing STEEM. On the other hand, buying delegated SP is much cheaper since huge SP can be obtained by sending very little amount, but it comes with an expiry date- 90 days. After the 90 days, those STEEM Power vanish.

It is easy to spot a gifted child when you are very close to them as a friend,or parent or guardian or

teacher,,when a child does some things in an extra-ordinary manner or spectacular manner then of course

one can tell that the child has a wonderful gifts,,what do the child have passion for and do it wonderfully well??that could also make you to know that the child is gifted in that direction...

for example if you observed that a child loves playing football and he or she plays it so perfectly then of course one can say he or she is gifted in playing football...etc....

it is easy to spot a gifted child and it is a very lovely thing if someone can detect it at an early stage so that the gift/gifts the child has can be nurtured and be used to make the life of the child to become wonderful...

The best time to enter the cryptocurrency market is when the market is stable,a stable market is when the market shows clear direction about the current trend on

the market and know when it is time to buy on the market,or sell on the market....for example if the market price is falling then you can take advantage of it and

wait for it to fall more and buy at a low price so that when the price rises again you can then sell it and make some profit....
