The Long-Term Affects Of Spying On Your Teen And Why You Shouldn’t Spy

March 26, 2020February 24, 2022BrianComment(0)

In this day and age, of suicide and depression, of sex and drugs, parents want to know what’s going on in every breathing moment of their teenagers lives. They want to know where they’re going, who they’re with, and what they’re doing. But, being a teenager myself, we all know that one little lie can […]

Swimsuits first came about in the 1920s where women wore tank-like suits, then slowly progressed to suits with skirts in the 1930s. After this, along came the corset style swimwear that was in the ear of the 1940s to 1960s, although more stars and celebrities sported this style as the rest of the women wore […]

Cbd Oil- Legality Throughout The United States

June 17, 2020February 15, 2021

Some people might not agree but everything is possible if you put everything on the line and focus on your goal with sheer hard work and determination, a testimony that has proven true where you can find numerous examples of great people succeeding in their respective fields.

The field of medicine and pharmacy is considered the most difficult of all but that does not mean that people don’t harbor ambitions for it otherwise the world would have ended much earlier without doctors.

Any doctor that can cure all kinds of diseases and ailments is classified as successful in his profession and taken as a messiah by the common people that can’t afford the basic medical facilities.

Brief Study

While the life threatening diseases are being taken care of by the best doctors and surgeons, the normal ones have to be done the same by the common people with natural therapy as treatment.

Now this can be tough to manage as the medicines prescribed by doctors are not only expensive but have little effect on the problem as they are replete with harmful chemicals and artificial substances.

This is what makes CBD oil different from their more erstwhile counterparts as they are taken from the extracts of cannabis and hemp plants from hilly terrains were the climate is cool and pleasant with zero scope for pollutants to take over the area.

Therefore, you will find that once these extracts are taken and tested in the laboratories for studying its medicinal qualities, they are then transferred to factories where they are worked upon and presented in the form of oil.

This is the Cannabinoid (CBD) oil that has given us relief from physical and mental problems like joint/muscle pain, arthritis, rheumatism, stress, tension, depression, anxiety, etc. to name a few.

Useful for Pets

Another plus point for its users is that CBD oil is not just effective on human beings but even animals that are going through the same problems and have the exact same results without any side effects whatsoever.

Here, in the United States, we have strict measures for importing and exporting medicine and one wrong step can result in some of the harshest punishments known to mankind.

There is no law or jurisdiction in the world with sanctions as strict as the ones from United States of America, a big reason why it is the most powerful and developed nation on the planet with the strongest economy that other nations bow down in respect and admiration.

Drugs like cannabis, marijuana hemp have been legalized in numerous US states like California, Arizona, Texas, Illinois, etc. to name a few but the same cannot be said for the rest of the states as there are 50 in total.

However, in the states mentioned above, the use of drugs have been legalized which has seen CBD oil have booming business where both house owners and their pets don’t have any of the problems and are living a healthy and peaceful life.

Using SEO for Your Web Pages

June 12, 2020February 15, 2021

SEO and You

SEO, or search engine optimization, is a wonderful facet of working online. By selecting keywords you can increase blog traffic, get more hits for your online shop, or even get a few new users for a message board. How do we go about using keywords though? Thankfully, with many online tools available it’s easier than ever to use keywords to your advantage.

Take a Look at the Competition

Competing websites use similar keywords. Increasing web site traffic relies on search engines primarily to get results for the page through your search of choice. But by choosing selectively what keywords to include in the main body of your page, you can place yourself in a super competitive field. An easy way of going about this would be to take a selection of phrases to Google’s free Keyword Tool and see the resulting hits for the most popular phrases. Using a variety of phrases ranked by popularity and trending visibility can place you in a better position after all, so it’s best to see how it ranks in for online searches per month.

When selecting phrases to input, make sure to be thorough, and use a bit of common sense. Using static phrases that don’t sound right will severely hinder any progress you’re trying to make. Instead using common phrases that sound good without context seems to be the key to success. Marketing online relies on these common phrases to get traffic, and without a substantial flow, you may find your online ventures to be severely limited. It comes down again to taking a good hard look at your competition and figuring out how to position yourself to take advantage of the trends they use. After all, if they’re able to have thousands of unique users daily you can easily do the same with a little hard work.

How to Implement Keywords

Keywords and tags seem to be a nasty little thing to implement for someone just starting out with their own page. My girlfriend is opening her first online shop, and I’ve gotten to see first hand the type of marketing in a rather cutthroat field. Customers and potential users respond to how easy it is to find the product or information they’re looking for, and to take advantage of that relates to my next point. Throwing in keywords is a bit like using salt in a dish, too much and it ruins the whole thing. So what you have to do is to spice it according to taste as it were, inserting key phrases but making it sound like something a human being put together rather than ad bots looking to get traffic by underhanded tactics.

Taking a look at keywords and seeing how you can apply them is a bit of an art as it were. With the online marketplace booming and an integral part of business these days, we have to look and see what it means to successfully market yourself online. Keywords help in this regard because using them for various facets of your page means you enable yourself the potential for a greater userbase. A greater userbase means more traffic obviously, but it can also lead to a greater source of revenue.

It comes down to this, when you’re looking at your selected keywords, you have to use them a bit like phrases in elementary school. This means figuring out how to place them in a sentence without making it sound forced. It also means being able to judge exactly how much you’re using in any given piece. You can also place keywords in the metatags of your site, which can increase site traffic as well. Overusing keywords in a metatag can be hazardous though, Google and like-minded search engines will ban any site that overuses them by spamming them.

SEO is Just a Start

SEO can really help your site grow and with Dynamics Digital SEO Agency you can significantly boost your online traffic when it comes down to factors like the overall design of your page. Having a bunch of text for content that uses keywords is good in theory, but without a strong design that is aesthetically pleasing you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment. So take into consideration what you’re working with, and be sure to put the work into your site to make it a success. The free Google tool is in the link provided, so be sure to test out your phrases and optimize them as necessary.

Bluegrass Music Review: the Harness Family Band

June 11, 2020June 9, 2020

The Harness Family Band performed for a packed and enthusiastic house Saturday night (January 17) at the Honeywell Center in Wabash, Indiana. A bluegrass fan from way back, I was especially looking forward to the concert, since my husband works with James Harness. James had given an exhibition of his banjo-picking skills for the guys at work, and had suitably impressed them all.

Ellis Harness is the patriarch of the family, and co-founder (with his wife, Oleda) of the Harness Family Band. The couple raised their family while traveling and singing with gospel quartets. The family has been performing as the Harness Family Band for twenty years, and three of the couple’s four sons are part of the band. Rick plays lead guitar, as well as singing baritone and lead vocals. Rick’s wife, Dawn, plays bass, and their lovely daughters Lindsay and Lacy provide vocals. Brother Tim sings lead vocals, and brother James picks dobro as well as banjo, and sings high tenor. Kenny Carmichael (Dawn’s father) plays mandolin, and his wife Judy plays the accordian on the salsa numbers. Kevin Carmichael, Carl Sparks and “Tupelo” Joe McSpadden round out the group. The reviews of the playbeatz will be excellent at the site so that there will be increase in the attraction of the person. Different kind of music and voice will be made available to the person. At online sites, a budget can be prepared through the person to listen to the songs of the musicians.

The Harness Family Band has performed at many local churches, senior centers, summer festivals, and private parties, but the concert at Honeywell Center was the largest indoor venue they have played to date. On stage, Rick Harness said that the bluegrass-loving family was honored that the family band had been asked to appear at the Ford Theater in the Honeywell Center. He said the family was surprised to see that very few empty seats were left, and thanked the audience for coming out on such a cold, icy night to attend. Or as he jokingly put it, “There must not be anything better to do in town this evening.”

(If you live in this area, you know that there really isn’t…but that’s not what brought the crowd out. Although this is a local, unsigned bluegrass band, they already have many fans.)

After some mild initial nervousness (the older folks appeared a bit more at ease than the young people, understandably) the family band fell comfortably together and presented a bluegrass concert that had the audience clapping, whooping, and truly enjoying the show.

While their focus is on bluegrass, country, southern rock and salsa styles are included in their repertoire. Some good-natured family teasing occurred when the three brothers broke into “Sweet Home Alabama.” Dad Ellis interrupted and told his boys they had better “get back to bluegrass,” to the amusement of the audience. Apparently the Harness brothers have heard that phrase from Dad many times over the years!

The bluegrass selections were a mix of traditional bluegrass tunes and covers of contemporary bluegrass artists, but Dawn and Rick have written also some original bluegrass numbers for the band. Bluegrass-style covers of Fleetwood Mac’s “Say That You Love Me” and Michael Martin Murphy’s “Carolina in the Pines” put some new fun into these old pop tunes.

Lacy and Lindsay did superb covers of Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain songs. During their first song it was difficult to hear Lindsay’s voice over the music, and both girls seemed a bit rattled. Apparently dad Rick had also started off on the wrong key, causing some confusion among the performers. After the microphone problem was corrected, and a few gentle jabs were made concerning the correct key (Rick blamed it on his failing eyesight), the girls noticeably relaxed and gave great performances the rest of the evening.

I think that Lindsay, in particular, has the look and sound of the traditional female country artists. During a cover of Johnny Cash and June Carter’s hit, “Jackson,” Lindsay displayed a growl and twang that would put any of the traditional Country Queens to shame. Her slender build and finely chiseled features give her a good ole’ country girl appeal. Lindsay could be a threat to the current country divas, with her more contemporary style. I see a potential country stars in the making in these talented young women.

James accompanied his daughters Allyson, 12, and Payton, 9, on the guitar as they sang “Broken Ones,” whose lyrics tell of an abused and neglected young girl who grows into a woman who helps others to heal their emotional wounds. Their lovely song actually brought tears to my eyes.

Another highlight of the show was when Grandpa Kenny sang the traditional bluegrass tune, “Beautiful Bouquet,” accompanied by Lindsay and Lacy. Kenny’s singing style brought back memories of watching Grandpa Jones on Hee-Haw with my dad when I was a kid.

After their last number, a standing ovation demanded the Harness Family Band’s return to the stage. Obviously pleased, Rick humbly responded, “We’re so glad you did that. We had a couple more numbers we wanted to perform.”

The Harness Family Band concert was a delight for bluegrass and country music lovers. The camaraderie and gentle teasing among this family, combined with the variety and excellence of talent, made the evening fun for everyone. My only disappointment was that the band did not do more traditional bluegrass gospel numbers, my particular favorite.

As of this writing, the Harness Family Band does not have any scheduled engagements, but updates will appear on the band’s myspace page. While you’re visiting their page, take a few minutes to enjoy “Let Me Walk You, Sally,” one of the band’s original bluegrass tunes. This exceptional bluegrass band is still unsigned. Record producers, take notice!

Grand Theft Auto 4 Psychological Review

June 11, 2020June 10, 2020

This is a first person account as told to me by a friend. I am writing it from a first person point of view. I too have played Grand theft auto 4 and can vouch that yes to a very small extent it does change your perspective. How much differs from person to person. This is not an attempt to malign the game but rather to give an honest insight of a personal experience.

It’s been a while but I clearly remember how excited I was to get my hands on the latest offering of Rockstar: Grand Theft Auto 4 (popularly known as GTA4). It is an amazing game no doubt and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. The story was as good as a game story can get.’ Niko Bellic’, an immigrant arrives in the city to start a new life and also looking for revenge. This article is not a walkthrough but rather an overlook at how I was psychologically affected by it.

A typical grand theft auto game has a central character that has to rise steadily in the world of gangsters and criminals by doing all things illegal. While starting out, money has to be earned by robbing, mugging etc. the average lowlife routine. I used to spend almost an hour to two hours playing every day whenever I could. It had been about a week and I was making steady progress in the game when it first hit me. I was playing when a friend called and I had to leave right away. I got up got ready and started to drive towards my friends place. It was medium traffic and I was overtaking others thinking everyone was going oddly slow today. I looked at the speedometer and it was showing 90.

What happened? How could I not know I was going so fast? Was my speed perception blurred? I immediately parked and just sat there thinking maybe it was a headache or something and never thought of it much afterwards. In gta, players can drive around the entire city at high speeds performing stunt jumps etc. smashing into people and objects etc. A big demolition derby if you will.

Few days passed and I moved forward in the game, same old shooting, killing, robbing a bank, things a respectable gangster would be proud of. I could see myself changing. Every time I would drive, rashness would somehow creep in. I would always look at anyone in uniform, be it a cop or security guard like I did those in the game. I got tired of doing the same thing over and over again. So what I did was I tried gta 5 mod menu ps4. This helps me to easily modify some aspects or features of the gameplay. This was a new exciting experience for me. Whenever in a bank, I would think of various angles to pull off a heist just for fun. It was just fun and games in the beginning but I took it seriously after an incident happened.

I got into a fight with someone. The fight was over a trivial thing and now when I think of it, completely idiotic on my part. It ended when my friends intervened but it could have been much worse. That’s when I came to realize that aggression had never been my feature but off late any small provocation was enough to rile me up. As my friend rightly pointed out I would actually look for reasons to get into a fight.

I was near the end of the game and it was the last mission. The love interest of ‘Niko’ the main character named ‘Kate’ dies and he takes revenge. End of story. Checked the stats and it showed that I had killed nearly 1000 people in a span of nearly 35 playing hours. I got back to completing other side missions and tasks.

One day I was watching a news clip on soldiers who had returned from war and how they were finding it difficult to adjust to their previous life once again. They showed how repeated killings and other horrors they had to witness changed their outlook towards everyone. One of the soldiers said that they had seen their colleagues kill someone for no apparent reason. The value of a person’s life meant nothing to those few. Behavioral problems have often been associated for people who have suffered or witnessed trauma of any sort. It was sad and horrific what some had to go through on the front lines and at that age where one’s personality is still been formed.

Although a computer game, in this case Grand theft auto does not even come close to what the soldiers have to go through, I could somehow understand what they were trying to say. Seeing or doing something again and again kills the emotions that a person doing it for the first time would have. I researched the net on how video games affects people and found many studies had been made and experiments performed. This study by Craig A. Anderson and Karen E. Dill on http://www.apa.org/releases/videogames.html shows very clearly that video games do have an effect on the behavioral aspect and in turn on the life of that person. [Study article link- http://www.apa.org/journals/features/psp784772.pdf ].

To blame my aggression on GTA4 would not be fair since I was having some personal problems at that time which is why I turned to the game for an escape of sorts. One undeniable fact however is that the game added fuel to the fire. It affects some more than others and some, not at all. The realistic graphics and story push a player into a virtual second life. The character’s emotions become their emotions, like when watching a movie we can feel what a character feels. Unlike a movie however we can choose the action a character takes. This strengthens the bond we have with a virtual character even more.

Is gta bad for you? Should one stop playing these types of games? Will I stop playing now that I know how it affects me? The answer is – no.

The game is an entertainment and it should be viewed just as that. One should not lose sight of what is real and what is not. Reality check is what is needed and I mean in the literal sense. A virtual life is exactly that – virtual and it should not be perceived as anything else. One should not let this or for that matter anything get to you as it got to me. Just because so many rules can be broken in a virtual environment, we cannot forget that we live in a society and we are humans. There are rules and they are there not to control us but rather to let us be free and pursue our happiness. That said I can’t wait for GTA5.

Vacation Planning – Consider Tent Camping for Your Family

June 10, 2020June 11, 2020

During the late winter, many families start dreaming of their summer vacations. Just the thoughts of getting out of the house to do something fun are welcome after a long winter. It is at this time of the year families who are camping families start scouting out campgrounds and shopping at their camping supply stores.

Family tent camping is an excellent alternative to a traditional vacation where hotels are utilized and guided tours are the norm. It’s extremely cost effective, it is fun and kids love it. A good campground is imperative when planning your family camping trip. Many campgrounds offer swimming, bath houses, playgrounds, rivers, lakes and trails. There is enough to keep a family busy during the day and all of it is included in the price per night at the campground. State parks are great choices and most will have the amenities required by families such as those mentioned.

It has become a practice ever since the new federal government came into power and has solved all the pending issues that the previous government left incomplete due to rampant corruption but the new government has also constructed the best camping toilets in the vicinity for people to use after a nice walk.

With the age of the internet come reviews on campgrounds at the click of a mouse. This helps in choosing, perhaps, a far off place families wouldn’t normally think of going because of cost or just lack of information. I don’t know many families who would just load up the car and stop at the first campground across the nearest state line just to say they did it. While camping is much more cost effective than traditional vacations, it does still cost hard earned money whether your trip is just for a weekend or for a more extended stay such as a week.

In order for your trip to be a success, your plan needs to include as many comforts of home as possible. Just because the trip is inexpensive, doesn’t mean it should be uncomfortable. You can create your own 5-star experience right in the great outdoors!

Tent selection:

Tents have come a long way over the years; some even have different rooms, larger size to accommodate family needs and equipment. Keep in mind that just because you will only use your tent a couple times a season doesn’t mean skimping on the quality of your tent. Don’t purchase the cheapest one you can find. Rather, find the best one you can for your budget. A good family tent will only set you back $100 or less at a chain discount store and will fit your needs.

Sleeping Accommodations:

Once you have found the perfect tent, think about how everybody will be sleeping. Is there room for cots? How about an air mattress? Even on a summer night, it may get cool sleeping in the great outdoors, be sure your blankets are sufficient. Sleeping bags are best. They take up less room than blankets off of the bed and they are specifically made for camping. However, if you don’t have sleeping bags, of course, your house blankets will do.

Cuisine Considerations:

Most good campgrounds will have a grill at the site. They will also usually come with a picnic table. Be sure to bring a couple of lawn chairs for added comfort. Packing a cooler with hot dogs, hamburgers, bacon, eggs, bread/buns and condiments will yield you with enough meals for a weekend getaway. Bring some charcoal and lighter fluid and you have all that you need to feed your family during your adventure.

Luxuries:

To make your tent camping trip the 5-star event that it can be (as much as camping can be 5-star that is), some really extravagant items can be used. Some families would consider the use of a camp stove a luxury. You can also consider a tent air conditioner. If you are in a space where electric is provided, you can use fans in your tent, bring your coffee maker, bring a portable DVD player or other luxuries. Some would argue that bringing some of the luxuries defeats the purpose of “getting away from it all” but there is nothing more miserable than having a storm come up or a couple hours of rain with absolutely no way to entertain the kids other than playing 20 Questions and you certainly don’t want to find that out the hard way or another camping trip would never be planned again. Times are different than when many of us were kids and we could entertain ourselves with a blade of grass. Today’s families are “plugged in” so to speak. It is perfectly acceptable to bring some of that on your trip. In fact, many campgrounds even have WIFI service so if that’s an important amenity for your family, be sure to look for the availability in the review sites listed at the end of the article.

Camping is a wonderful alternative to other vacation types. There are as many variations of camping as there are vacation packages out there from camp sites, locations in different areas, amenities and activities. Families can see more, do more and enjoy the money saving benefits of a family vacation that seems to have lost some of its popularity over the years. Give it a try; you might be surprised at how wonderful it really is.
