Well this is where i think the government should come in,the government itself can create affordable education to its citizens especially those that cannot afford school fees that many private institutions requests for,i believe government can create educational funds that will be used to help its citizens get affordable education,another thing the government can do is that they should build many schools that people can study for free or pay a very less amount compared to what will be paid at other private colleges,i believe when government do things like this it will enable everyone to have access to education whether poor or rich..
Education is not an expenditure it is an investment in the future that serves to make every individual more productive and able to make a greater contribution to the economy. Education must be free for the individual to compete for the seats available at no financial expense.
The student's responsibility is to do well in their studies and prepare themselves to be qualified to do the jobs that are essential for the economic development of a country. The productivity of a highly qualified and hardworking individual and their contribution in taxes and service more than repay the expenditure for their education many times over in the course of a lifetime.
This is how we can bring affordable education to all. We should improve our educational infrastructure and produce more innovative education for all class of people.
As I live in a country where education is free (including colleges/universities) I can't answer this question. I only paid administration fees etc, perhaps 500€ a year.
Whether or not I would use the power in this question would depend on the process that is used to determine which 1% of humanity would live, and which 99% would die. Here's how I would respond to several case scenarios:
If the 1% and 99% are chosen completely at random with no other outside inputs, I would not use the power because of the potential that utterly corrupt people and their progeny would have the opportunity to help shape this "great future", when the "great future" could be even better if more worthy people were involved in it.
If there is a known and well-defined, merit-based algorithm that would be the sole arbiter of determining who lives and who dies, then I would look at that algorithm to see if I agree or disagree with the standards that are used to determine merit. If I agree with those standards, then I would use the power without hesitation, and without regard to if I was in the 1% or 99%, because I can be assured that the absolute best people would shape the best future paradise possible. If I disagree with those standards, then I would not use the power.
If I was the sole arbiter for determining who would live and who would die, I probably would not use the power for this reason: Earth's population is around 7.5 billion people. 1% is 75 million people, and I sure haven't met anywhere near 75 million people. If I added all the people I ever met and all the living people that I've ever read or heard about, that still wouldn't get me anywhere near 75 million people. The number of spots for the living that I would have to fill would simply be too great, and most of those spots would be filled based on an utter lack of information as to who might be worthy or not of living (i.e. complete ignorance on my part).
The ideal scenario for me would be if I could choose a limited number of people to protect (i.e. guarantee their lives and their participation in shaping the future paradise), choose a limited number of people to kill off, and let a merit-based algorithm that I agree with take care of the rest. That would mean that the people I care for and who understand what would be happening and why, would get to continue living under continually improving circumstances, and the best of humanity would also get to enjoy these benefits. The resulting future may not be as perfect as letting a merit-based algorithm do all the work (because I could end up protecting some people who would be part of the 99%), but it would be acceptable enough for me.
Wow.. this is an interesting question. Thanos tried to kill 50% of the population and the whole world is already against him. What will happen to me if I try to kill 99%? Haha..
Anyway, I think the key thing here is that I somehow know that killing off 99% will result in a great future. On the flip side, if I do not do so, I know humankind will cease to exist. Hence, the choice is really between saving 1% of people or leave all to die.
I will do it under the following conditions,
- I get to let the 99% who perish die an easy death
- The choice of the 99% must be random. This is to ensure everything is fair.
- I must be part of the 99% who die because I can live with the burden
I would consider it, if I would be part of the 99% that die. Other people would not see the bigger picture of the eventual outcome, thus you would be hunted down by the few that remain. Then again, this is one of those things that you can't clearly comprehend until you're actually faced with making the choice for real.
One of the ways that I do when I have a headache is to drink lots of water. As we know that water is very good for health. Even doctors recommend drinking eight glasses of water a day. and apparently what I did when I had a headache was by drinking two glasses of water. really feels the benefits. For those who want to practice please. This is not scientific research, this is actually pure experience of how I deal with headaches without drugs. Thank you so much
There are many types of medicines available in the market, which are taken for relief in headache, but it is not right to take medicines every time. Going too much external salts in the body can lead to other diseases. But if you want you have many home remedies that you can remove from your headache...
These measures are so easy that you can try them even at work in your office. But one thing that matters most is that you remove every bad idea from your brain and try to remain calm. The good thing about these home remedies is that they are all completely safe and effective...
1. By Acupressure
For years, people have been using acupressure for headache relief. In case of headache you should bring your palms in front of you. After this, massage with a hand from one hand to the other between the thumb and index finger. Repeat this procedure for two to four minutes in both hands. By doing this you will get relief in headache.
2. By water
Even after drinking a little quantity of water, it provides relief in headaches. Once your body becomes hydrated then headache will gradually decrease.
3. by clove
Warm some cloves of cloves on the pan. Bundle these hot clove buds in a handkerchief. Slip this bottle for a while. You will find that the headache is reduced.
4. By Basil leaves
You have often seen people drink tea or coffee after headaches. Once the basil leaves are cooked in water and eat it. It is more effective and beneficial than any tea and coffee.
5. Eating salt by applying apple
If you are not taking the name of headache even after trying hard, then cut an apple and put salt on it and eat it. This is a very effective way to get relief in headache.
6. Black Pepper and Mint Tea
Eating black pepper and mint tea in the headache is also very beneficial. If you want, you can also take some mint leaves of black tea.
I think the cause of headache is also important. I am suffering from a migraine. Massaging with peppermint oil and drinking lemon juice with warm water are the best solutions for me.
the part that uses your index finger and / or thumb. Give a light massage constant for 7-15 seconds, then release. Repeat until you feel less pain. Try asking someone else to massage your head, neck and shoulder area. Ask to massage with the right pressure, because if it is too slow it will not relax the tight muscles, but if it is too hard it will add to your headaches. Eating Blood sugar levels can cause headaches. Try eating a snack or drinking warm sweet tea first. Try to eat always on time to avoid headaches caused by a decrease in blood sugar.
I will like to be a whale in the ocean. Able to roam the 4 seas and admired by many. Though I will probably be more likely hunted down for my meat and oil.
I don't mind being a plankton in the ocean too. Though I am probably the lowest life form, at least I get to see the world.
Basically, it just sucks to be in a small pond. Regardless you are a whale or a plankton :)
If my health and fitness still allow me to, I will want to blend into the crowd and experience all walks of life. Having money doesn't end my learning journey, in fact I hope to start a fresh journey. One which I really want. Often in life, we are too caught up with trying to earn more money. And at the end, we might finally realize we haven't really live our life.
Hence, if I am fortunate to be financially free, I will want to experience life and see things from different perspective. Towards the end, I hope to pass down what I have learned to future generations. At that time, it might be nice to write and leave my knowledge on the immutable Steem blockchain :)
Top question for today from what I read. I would definitely travel more, I would buy me the car I'm wishing for some years, I would rent me some nice apartment in the area and of course I would donate some 5% of my income to people in need. I would still blog on Steemit of course.
I know it takes time to grow. There are many projects going on based on steem blockchain. Now if anyone wants to grow faster on Steemit, what suggestion do you have for her/him?
We can make our account bright in simple steps. first of all when we start joined in steemit we also joined musing and first we have to write introduction post on steemit then start using musing. when we start our introduction people can understand us properly and we became friends.
After introduction post we come to musing platform which is question and answer platform . in musing if we ask question or gives answer in both ways we get upvote by musing community and the upvotes we get are in steem dollars .so it directly transferred in our steemit wallet.
When we write answer or ask question in proper content then only we get upvote from musing community and from this we also increase the reputation score of steemit.
While getting upvotes we benefited from both the sides first we get upvotes from this we get steem dollars and also we increase the reputation score.
As per my knowledge to grow faster on steemit, there is only one way you can buy steem power by delegation or by your own. you can even use the Bots at steembottracker.com to upvote your post with a good amount but for free, there is no way to earn in steemit in less period of time. There are chances of you post in trending section if you have a good amount of steem power and you have good reputation otherwise I am working on steemit from last 3 months even after an investment of 500 steem power with delegation I did not get my amount back.
You can use steem blockchain other sources like musing.io, d-live, d-tube, etc which are famous for steem blockchain and may upvote your post with a good amount of steem power. For example you are using musing and if you are working with legit and good quality question and answer then musing team will upvote your post with even 10% then you may get a income of $2+ as it has more than 415000k of steem power so you have to target this kind of whales if you want to earn a good income in less time.
The main thing to focus on is on your blogs, you should make a proper blog which attracts people a lot and upvotes your post regularly and comment and upvotes should be done regularly from your account to a well-reputed account to get the proper amount of upvotes and comment in return. From the first day you may not get a proper value but after some months you may see the result and start earning regularly from steemit.
i believe someone can grow faster on steemit depending on the kind of quality contents the person is frequently creating on the steemit platform,but i believe that someone with frequent posting of lovely contents would definitely make the person to get audience and get more upvotes and the more upvotes they are getting the faster they can start growing on steemit..
There are so many ways to grow on Steemit, but like you said, most of the takes time. To grow on Steemit, you need to be known. One of the fastest ways to grow on Steemit is by making valuable posts as well as comments. Commenting heartfelt comments on other peoples's post will leave them with a good impression about you and they will love to check up on you. Also, you could invest in STEEM, people tend to flock around those who have more Steem Power and after joining Steemit for just 2 days with a huge Steem Power, you'll be amazed at how well known you've become. Promoting your posts with bidbots is another known way to grow faster on the Steem platform.
For public and general post, yes I have considered it, but due to the inability of current Steem Dapps to enable and disable certain personal information to be private, it is not yet currently practical for mass use to store all details and feelings (especially private ones).
This shows you how we're still in the early days of Steem. Someday, someone will develop a DAPP that is both a social media front and yet the functionality to store personal information for keepsake.
This can be achieve with encryption of data before storing it as json or in another decentralized format, the main things to consider on how to make this practical by extend and authorizing decryption to a display server through enabling very fine data control to select and alter what can private or public. Such a widely customizable sharing capability build on a secure (user controlled privacy, not centralized privacy) architecture, would be an excellent layer to have over Steem, just like hivemind.
What separates Steem from other social media platforms is that: not only does what you post into the blockchain lasts forever (blockchains are immutable) but you might also get rewarded for doing so.
However with the way blog posts are being displayed right now (single line streamline) it is literally hard to browse on people's post. Everything is just disorganized. If you want to check out a friend's account whom you haven't checked to for a long time, you literally have to scroll down like forever to catch up.
So something must be done first on how posts are being displayed and how blog posts are organized before we even think of storing and sharing all of our memories to the blockchain.
I have been on Steemit for over 7 months now, and one thing I have noticed is that around 90% of people in the platform don't fully know how the blockchain works. Sure it is somewhat complicated, but A LOT of people don't even bother reading the FAQ's and understanding how it fully works. All they know is that the platform gives out free money.
And whenever money is involved, people go bananas. People will try to game the system and those people are most always the one who loves to complain about the unfairness in the platform. "Why is that guy getting more rewards than I am?" "Why is this platform not upvoting me". So to answer your question, unless people start to care about how the platform and blockchain fully works or make it more user-friendly, then NO! it is still not ready for decentralizing everything.
You CANNOT decentralize everything. Decentralization inherently has certain strengths and weaknesses. A lot of activities and platform will be on a scale of being remotely to totally decentralized.
The internet as we now know it is truly decentralized information. With cryptocurrency, we have decentralized money. So, when many facets of information and human interaction becomes decentralized, it will be easier for segments of society to adopt it. Especially, the youth and tech savvy folks.
Let humanity be on a path to decentralization but with babysteps. 😊
In theory, it seems like everything can be decentralized. The key question to ask is whether the benefits of decentralization outweighs the cons. Some things are more efficient when decentralized while others not so much.
For instance the banking system can be more decentralized. There are a lot of money being spent on audits and compliance in the banking sector because we do not trust them. Imagine if we have a trustless decentralized banking platform, such costs wouldn't be incurred.
However, imagine if we are trying to build a decentralized traffic guiding system. There is no clear benefit in doing so.
So to answer your question, I think humanity is not ready to decentralize everything. However, we are on the path to decentralize whatever makes sense to be decentralized. Because humans are always on the path to improve efficiency
To break it simply, it's like asking 'is it possible to cure cancer?'.
The ideal answer is that, yes. The real answer, however, would be not possible.
I am answering this question based on utilitarianism, where individuals or groups would maximise their own profits/ utility. In the case of cancer, unfortunately, there would be conflict of interests between the researcher, general public and the pharmaceutical companies. Researchers and pharmaceutical companies (not all) basically need funding or profits to sustain their work. However, general public would need the cure to minimize their costs in medical treatment (in other words, increase their utility). Unfortunately, there would be no true solution for this, as both parties will always fight to maximize their utility.
The problem with decentralization is that, there would always be a central entity who would not be willing to give up the centralization power. This means, there would not be a truly decentralized society at all. The only way to solve this fallacy is to share the same goal and value.
In Steemit, it is evident that not all of the participants are willing to add value to the system. Instead, they are just here for easy money. Unless a common value is established amongst all the participants, the true decentralization of Steemit would not be possible at the moment. Particularly, the usage of vote bot and self-voting are actually bad for curating organic article on the platform, but people still use it anyway.
Ok, people just started decentralising things. Decentralisation has its won limitations. If human wants then it possible by a time . But in my opinion everything shouldn't be decentralized.
As soon as possible! The key idea is not just to teach them about saving money. It should be more about teaching them to invest, accept delayed gratification and seeing the big picture. I know it may be far-fetched to be teaching all these to a kid. But I think we should teach them whenever there is an opportunity.
I do not have kid of my own, however, I recalled there was a time when my niece wanted to get something from a toy store. She was 7 years old back then. At that time, I asked her why did she want the toy. Being a kid, she said something like, "I just want it". I took the opportunity to teach her that there must be a good reason for everything you need to spend money on. Because her parents' money doesn't come easy. Every dollar spent on unnecessary things, could mean losing a dollar on the necessities. I am not sure if she got it at that time, but at least she didn't insist on getting the toy that day.
From the example I described, you can see that teaching kids such concepts earlier will also benefit yourself. That is why it is so important to start ASAP and find every chance to impart these knowledge to them. Looking back, I wished my parents could have taught me the concept of investing and saving earlier in my childhood. I will probably be in a much better financial position than I am now if I had started earlier.
You can start teaching your kids how to save money from when they are 6 years old and above, at that stage they should be able to understand what money is and the value of it. To make things easier though before you move on to money, try and get them to value and appreciate their toys and other stuff that they own, as that would give them a sense of responsibility already before introducing them to saving money.
At an age that has a little more understanding of an explanation, you can start to teach your child to save. In addition, you can also begin to teach the values of money and what value is spent in buying an item. This is useful so that they appreciate more every money they have.
From an early age, one year before they enter the world of school, because the earlier we teach a child to save money, the more effective they will be in doing so.

My favourite is called LINE. It was first released in Japan in 2011 and became extremely popular very quickly. They have users all over the world, but it seems to be more popular in Asia. I started using it because everyone here in Thailand makes use of it, I continue using it because of its reliability and huge amount of features and apps that are compatible with it. Give it a go, it's awesome! It's available on nearly all platforms.
As in, there could be a special checkbox that says "please send ten percent to the questioner if I make over X amount". Musings from an original muser.
a country can be said to be a democratic country if it contains 4 characteristics,
-first is the existence of a fair electoral mechanism so as to enable the public to vote or change his government.
-second, the active participation of citizens in politics.
-Third, protection of human rights.
-Fourth, everyone's equality is in the eyes of the law.
All developed countries on this earth use a democratic system so that we can draw conclusions that there is something behind democracy that triggers or at least become a container that makes progress in a country more likely to be achieved.
because democracy is only a tool that makes people have the opportunity to choose the best candidates, provide opportunities to supervise and criticize elements in government, and provide an opportunity for people to ask for transparency and provide an opportunity for people to "punish" the party or someone who is corrupt or incompetent by not having it anymore. these opportunities are generally not available in non-democratic systems.
For a country that knows how to handle democracy yes it is. I live in an ex-communist country and I can tell you that after the fall of the Communist regime and it's leader, Nicolae Ceausescu, we as people have more freedom than during his reign, business were possible after the so called "revolution", while before it everything belonged to the state, but salaries and the wealth of the whole country was affected.
I guess that almost all of the people couldn't take much longer under the regime, but didn't knew what to do with the democracy either. Lots of the factories were closed and sold for nothing, while people got unemployed or working for foreign companies for cheap wages while just a handful of people took the strings of power into their hands and businesses.
Democracy means definitely freedom, but only in the hands of the people who know what to do with it, otherwise it's just modern slavery.
Yeah it is if the country's democracy is a fair one.
I will do say that democracy is the best form or government out there. The masses have the opportunity and privilege to vote for who they so desire and the government can't force a rule on the citizens without an opposition unlike the military
The only disadvantage democracy can have is when the system of government is a corrupt and the choice of leaders of the citizens/masses are not the ones being elected.
I think it's true because democracy is a government that all citizens have the same rights and freedoms in making decisions that can change their lives towards a better one. This system is very appropriate to be used in a country because democracy implies an appreciation of human dignity.
Yes, in my personal opinion. Because in that time technology was not that developed that we can go to moon , and there were no moon human mission after a little time though we're now more developed.
But there're many evidences that show that moon mission was real.
In my honest opinion, I can't see any rational reason other than bragging rights for faking such a big event. If you think about it that way, without even considering the evidence, you'll probably realise that it was most likely true. Add the evidence in though, and now it's pretty hard to deny. People debunk things pretty well these days, and I haven't seen anything concrete to make me believe otherwise.
In the last months, I noticed that Steemit and all other platforms using the Steem Blockchain are lacking of really good content. You see the issue with this is, if we do not provide really high-quality content on the Steem Blockchain, the price will not rise nor will be the blockchain successful in a longterm view. A lot of people are addressing this issue in their blog posts, but nearly nobody managed to find a suitable solution. We situation is clear: With postings about flowers and food we do not attract new users to the platform. The question I want to ask relating this topic: How can we change this and make the Steem Blockchain the most valuable Blockchain in the near future?
Thanks for your answers! :)
The current lost in value is more market related than Steem related, the best thing you can do is either, help develop if you have any technical skills or invite your friends and family into the platform to increase our userbase!
Being an active member of the community also helps out, guiding newbies to increase our retention rate and cheer leading the dev team every once in a while when they post is not a bad idea either :-P
Big updates are coming to Steem in the next few months and we can expect a lot of price movements towards the green hopefully :-D
1) Improve the marketing for the Steem environment in other channels and media, the Steemit logo needs to be more present on other sites (like the reddit, telegram or linkdin logos)
2) To leverage this, it would be beneficial to create some incentivization for doing marketing for Steemit, e.g. by giving some delegation or Steem to people who bring new users to the platform (of course only real users who do some regular posting), or to incentivize sites that apply the Steemit logo. Money is there (as seen by the huge delegation to musing.io!)
3) New users need to be much more supported. Often they get some good rewards on the "introduceyourself" post, but then their visibility and rewards are 0. Of course many leave as a consequence. So curators need to pay attention to the follow up posts of those newbies. Also it shouldn´t be that difficult to program a bot (with some human oversight) to take care about this. This should be a standing task of the witnesses, they get payed for it.
4) On the long run it should be thought about the massive misuse of buying votes which derails the quality of the content and perverts the curation idea (If 50% of votes are bought and not given for decent content, then we can´t speak any longer about "proof of brain" but "proof of power"). If you can´t get into the "trending" pages without advertisment, then there is a serious flaw. So why not introduce a limit for buying upvotes? People with high SP would then be forced to manually vote more instead of randomly sell their VP.
5) I also would release the limit of upvotes possible only within 7 days. Wouldn´t it be technically possible to have an initial payout after 7 days, but keep the voting open and do then additional payouts e.g. monthly?
6) And last not least, the steemit frontend needs to get improved by more filtering options, search functions to retrieve old posts and a chat function. Also to have more than 5 tags would be helpful.
I think voting quality post and also supporting curation project will make the steem block chain grow faster and better because the people already on it will be inspired to invite their friends to join....
Personally right now I think quality of content posted on the blockchain doesn't really matter that much when it comes to the price of Steem. Sure it's annoying and highly disappointing to see thrashy posts and some one pic photography posts sitting on "Hot" and "Trending" boosted by bid bots, but those very same people have invested big chunk of money on Steem years ago which overall increased the price of Steem to now barely a dollar (from a few cents years ago).
What Steem needs right now to make it more valuable is to increase its user retention. A lot of newbies left the platform after less than a week of being on it. Why? Because no matter how exceptional or decent their content is, no one will upvote or support a total random newbie on the blockchain. People who have large stakes on this platform and even Steemit Inc should first do something about this issue because we are clearly losing this battle.
More people on the blockchain = More word about it = More investors for the blockchain
Second thing is Marketing. I have been on this platform for over 7months now and I have seen no marketing so far by the Steemit Inc team (correct me if I'm wrong on this one). How would Steem get more investors if no one will ever hear about it?
As a cryptocurrency investor and a lover of cryptocurrency. I think steem coin should be more involved in more natural and realistic state. For example newbies on Steemit should be followed up strictly immediatley they sign up on steemit and them compensated with some token of steem or steem power. This will make th more happy to creat more awareness making more persons involved in Steemit platform thereby raising up the demand of steem.
Now a new idea just flew into me, "why not bring up news updates from steem platform, then ask individuals to share the news updates on their different social media platforms with the steem link and logo embedded on this news updates. Then people will received some amount of steem for sharing and commenting on news updates powered by steem.
The best answer other than to buy and hold is for the platform to continue to attract the best and brightest developers to create products and service like Steem Monsters as just one example that attract people to this platform and make people want to use it as part of their everyday lives to promote the platform and to promote the Steem cryptocurrency which is connected to this. Steemit needs to become one of the most popular sites out there and be constantly gaining new users and eventually you will see the prices rise.
from my personal observation i realized that the steem price dropping is not really a steem problem but a general cryptocurrency market and i noticed that whenever the bitcoin price is dropping then majority of other cryptocurrencies tend to follow it and drop too so that is why cryptocurrency investors need to believe in the market and keep investing to make the demands increase and when the demand is consistent then the prices of many cryptocurrencies including steem will keep rising..
The best natural way that I know to take care of your teeth is washing them with sodium bicarbonate or salt. In the case of salt the thin one is advised because you don't want to ruin your teeth enamel.
The leaders, since they have control over the followers. Even in a democratic society, the leader can easily set a good example for the followers by picking up some trash while he's in public, or encouraging creating jobs for people to pick up and clean the trash in the streets. At the end of the day, followers rarely do things themselves without being told to and encouraged to, while the leader can just pick up some trash and many other people would join.
Wine has both bad and good effects. You can drink wine but just a glass. We know that articles like these are tempting fodder for excuses to down a bottle with a friend under the guise of, “It’s healthy for me!” But we’re really only advocating a glass a day — that’s all.
Heavy drinking comes with a laundry list of terrifying side effects of its own, and likely counteracts all the good you’d otherwise do for your body with a smooth glass of red. And with alcoholism climbing rapidly in popularity in the United States, we should all be mindful to prevent such excess consumption now more than ever.
But honestly, this list is still great news. There’s just something so relaxing about sitting down with a glass of wine at dinner or winding down after a busy day with wine and reality TV. As it turns out, the benefits go far beyond simple relaxation.
The verdict on alcohol consumption as a whole is more messy and confusing, but health experts seem to agree on one thing: Wine in moderation is great for you. In study after study, we discover more perks that turn an indulgent glass of red wine into an elixir of health.
Albinism is a genetic condition caused by the lack, or low count of the pigment known as melanin. In most cases it affects the skin and hair, but can also cause optical issues. It makes the hair and skin be white. Around one in seventy people carry the gene.
Actually, I have read about this topic just recently. To answer your question, no, definitely no.
There are no statistics actually supporting this statement, nor any scientific proofs. In fact, people (I mean, majority of us) only have sex at night. Therefore, naturally, all those night sexes eventually lead to pregnancies. The chance of having male or female baby is essentially the same.
We can agree that (traditionally and now) most people work during the day and so have not a lot time to have sex. If night-time sex would leed to more boys, there would always have been a surplus in boys ;)
i think musing.io is a great platform and improving the profile section will make the platform to become even greater,one of the things that can be done to improve the profile section is that they should create a feature that will show the statistics of number of questions and answers a person wrote on the platform and also the total number of upvotes they got,there should also be a ranking information that ranks them based on their performance on this platform.
In steemit, musing is one of the most important platform. Musing is a platform where any steemian can ask questions and also reply questions. Musing also help new steemians by giving answers.
When anybody ask any question in musing, then anyone can answer the question. Musing has also add a option that writer can add the answer on his blog. Musings are as helpful as they are now and they will in future.
When a writer will answer a question and he will add the comment on his post. Then another writer can see the post And a good feeling about him will awaken. Also other steemians can take knowledge from his post. They will benefit. It will be so informative that the writer's profile will be improved.
i believe that there are so much things that a man can do in his home aside from financial provision,some of the roles a man can play to his woman is that he should be caring to her both emotionally and physically a man should have listening ears to the plight of his woman especially when she is in a bad situation or bad mood, a man should learn to spend enough time with his family and always stay faithful to his woman and make the woman have assurance that she has got a good man by her side..
From the stand point of the human anatomy: Everything we see or can feel in the human body are fundamentally just human organ, that is there to perform a particular function for the continuity of growth and livelihood...
But human emotions brings a psychological feeling which demands expression from us when some of this organs are revealed, slightly expose or touched..
The psychological feels can also be aroused buy certain behaviors/acts such as.
- An act of kindness
- Dancing
- Smiling
- Walking
- Singing....
With that being said, what turns you on may reasonable am what turns me on absurd. We still a working progress.
As for me, i am a sucker for boobs....
I don't know why i like them, i even get tired of them sometimes but i find myself drawn to them...
First of all, there are many tools that help you to make delegations. As for me, I have experience two ways:
1. Using steemworld.org/@username, of course, that @username is your username and upon the side finishes loading the interface, you can click the "Delegations" tab and tap "Delegate SP".
2. Via steemconnect, there are three ways to utilize this tool as a way of delegating your precious steem power (SP). First, directly accesing steemconnect official site and be sure it is started with "https://" which ensures your transaction to be secured and upon logging in, you can do delegation. Second, installation of SteemPlus plug-in, this plug-in has "Delegation" features, and allows you to visit your wallet and do the delegation both in busy and steemit front-ends. Discord servers, that has bots that connected to Steem, wherein just a single command, for example: "$delegate josephace135 50", this means a transaction is to delegate to josephace135 with 50 SP; and upon entering that command, you are given a link that is from steemconnect.
I would go for the Tesla! There are petrol powered cars everywhere, it would be nice to be in a bit of a more exclusive community and do your part in saving the world at the same time. :)
To dive deep into his soul and listen to his inner voice and then find out if it's really worth commit suicide. Sometimes the mind is a liar and a misguiding voice, but the soul and its intuition always know better.
You could literally say anything, just as long you let them express their feelings.
Never say it's ok or it's alright! Feeling of suicidal simply means they are not feeling alright! You should lend them your ears to listen to all their problems or your shoulders for them to cry on. The most powerful sentence, I think, is "You can always count on me, and I am always here for you!"
I don't believe the relative rate is any different than it used to be. There are just more people now in the population and the openness of certain types of sexual immorality is more acceptable. If anything we may be tame compared to ancient Roman culture if we apply our concepts of sexual immorality to them.
The media tends to be a mirror of how society presents itself. The media calls it as it sees it and it wouldn't be doing what it is doing if there wasn't such a large demand.
The media likes to show all kinds of new, of shocking things. Old news don't sell. But people in the yellow press don't have anything to do with our lives. Ignore them.
As for me, people believe on superstitions simply because it has been passed by from generations to generations. We do not know what exactly happened during those previous generations. People especially those that are elderly are the ones who usually share those superstitions beliefs and when they are asked, they will just respond that there is no harm when you try to follow and obey. And most of the time, we obey and follow what they are saying. Some of us might find it strange but believe, people especially those in rural or in provinces or places that are far from cities still practice and believe some superstitious beliefs.
the scientists assert, that superstition and strong belief in magic spells are only an attempt for some people to regain control over the lives they have lost.
The authors argue that control of any situation is very important for people if it is not possible to threaten life. In this case, control plays a role.
But psychologists emphasize the fact, that people often look for relationships that don't exist between events in their lives, and believe that there is a secret mechanism for the rules of one's fate.
This is one of the psychological needs inherent in us. This article goes on to say, that at ordinary times people blame for their problems with certain events in their past.
Psychologists believe that it leads to the emergence of various rituals such as wearing protective talismans, fear of "bad omens", and so on.
These things aim to reveal the way of superstition in spring, the researchers asked volunteer participants to write compositions that describe important events in their lives.
Some participants explained the events that took place under their control, while others, in contrast, recalled things that were beyond their control to control, such as illness, accidents, and others.
The facts that speak say, that participants who describe losing their control over a situation tend to believe in different mystical signs and correlations between other mystical events.
The authors say, superstition is a form of compensation for loss of confidence in yourself.
Because there are bad ideas about God and lack of faith. In addition, according to Al-Qarni, there are heretical beliefs that deviate from tauhidullah, there are animist influences that believe in good luck, such as rings, wafaq, amulets, or Al-Qur'an lafadz installed in the body. A person who believes in superstition is usually less trustworthy in God.
Many who still believe in superstition may be due to family and environmental influences. Families or the environment usually have special rituals with a specific purpose. Usually, the ritual will be passed on to the younger generation to honor the ancestral heritage. Of course, the younger generation with a narrow perspective, will only believe in beliefs that are considered normal. That's what happened.
Are colleges getting more and more expensive, how do we bring affordable education to all?
Well this is where i think the government should come in,the government itself can create affordable education to its citizens especially those that cannot afford school fees that many private institutions requests for,i believe government can create educational funds that will be used to help its citizens get affordable education,another thing the government can do is that they should build many schools that people can study for free or pay a very less amount compared to what will be paid at other private colleges,i believe when government do things like this it will enable everyone to have access to education whether poor or rich..
Education is not an expenditure it is an investment in the future that serves to make every individual more productive and able to make a greater contribution to the economy. Education must be free for the individual to compete for the seats available at no financial expense.
The student's responsibility is to do well in their studies and prepare themselves to be qualified to do the jobs that are essential for the economic development of a country. The productivity of a highly qualified and hardworking individual and their contribution in taxes and service more than repay the expenditure for their education many times over in the course of a lifetime.
This is how we can bring affordable education to all. We should improve our educational infrastructure and produce more innovative education for all class of people.
As I live in a country where education is free (including colleges/universities) I can't answer this question. I only paid administration fees etc, perhaps 500€ a year.
Who holds largest amount of cryptocurrencies in India ?
If you had the power to, and new that killing off 99% of humanity would lead to a paradise on earth and great future for humankind; and not doing it would most likely lead to a dystopian future would you do it? ?
Whether or not I would use the power in this question would depend on the process that is used to determine which 1% of humanity would live, and which 99% would die. Here's how I would respond to several case scenarios:
If the 1% and 99% are chosen completely at random with no other outside inputs, I would not use the power because of the potential that utterly corrupt people and their progeny would have the opportunity to help shape this "great future", when the "great future" could be even better if more worthy people were involved in it.
If there is a known and well-defined, merit-based algorithm that would be the sole arbiter of determining who lives and who dies, then I would look at that algorithm to see if I agree or disagree with the standards that are used to determine merit. If I agree with those standards, then I would use the power without hesitation, and without regard to if I was in the 1% or 99%, because I can be assured that the absolute best people would shape the best future paradise possible. If I disagree with those standards, then I would not use the power.
If I was the sole arbiter for determining who would live and who would die, I probably would not use the power for this reason: Earth's population is around 7.5 billion people. 1% is 75 million people, and I sure haven't met anywhere near 75 million people. If I added all the people I ever met and all the living people that I've ever read or heard about, that still wouldn't get me anywhere near 75 million people. The number of spots for the living that I would have to fill would simply be too great, and most of those spots would be filled based on an utter lack of information as to who might be worthy or not of living (i.e. complete ignorance on my part).
The ideal scenario for me would be if I could choose a limited number of people to protect (i.e. guarantee their lives and their participation in shaping the future paradise), choose a limited number of people to kill off, and let a merit-based algorithm that I agree with take care of the rest. That would mean that the people I care for and who understand what would be happening and why, would get to continue living under continually improving circumstances, and the best of humanity would also get to enjoy these benefits. The resulting future may not be as perfect as letting a merit-based algorithm do all the work (because I could end up protecting some people who would be part of the 99%), but it would be acceptable enough for me.
Thank you for your answer
Wow.. this is an interesting question. Thanos tried to kill 50% of the population and the whole world is already against him. What will happen to me if I try to kill 99%? Haha..
Anyway, I think the key thing here is that I somehow know that killing off 99% will result in a great future. On the flip side, if I do not do so, I know humankind will cease to exist. Hence, the choice is really between saving 1% of people or leave all to die.
I will do it under the following conditions,
- I get to let the 99% who perish die an easy death
- The choice of the 99% must be random. This is to ensure everything is fair.
- I must be part of the 99% who die because I can live with the burden
Thank you for your answer
I would consider it, if I would be part of the 99% that die. Other people would not see the bigger picture of the eventual outcome, thus you would be hunted down by the few that remain. Then again, this is one of those things that you can't clearly comprehend until you're actually faced with making the choice for real.
Nods , I don't think anyone would be able to live what that kind of carnage on the soul,longterm, unless they are a sociopath ...
How to reduce headache without medicine?
Give me home remedies for headache
One of the ways that I do when I have a headache is to drink lots of water. As we know that water is very good for health. Even doctors recommend drinking eight glasses of water a day. and apparently what I did when I had a headache was by drinking two glasses of water. really feels the benefits. For those who want to practice please. This is not scientific research, this is actually pure experience of how I deal with headaches without drugs. Thank you so much
There are many types of medicines available in the market, which are taken for relief in headache, but it is not right to take medicines every time. Going too much external salts in the body can lead to other diseases. But if you want you have many home remedies that you can remove from your headache...
These measures are so easy that you can try them even at work in your office. But one thing that matters most is that you remove every bad idea from your brain and try to remain calm. The good thing about these home remedies is that they are all completely safe and effective...
1. By Acupressure
For years, people have been using acupressure for headache relief. In case of headache you should bring your palms in front of you. After this, massage with a hand from one hand to the other between the thumb and index finger. Repeat this procedure for two to four minutes in both hands. By doing this you will get relief in headache.
2. By water
Even after drinking a little quantity of water, it provides relief in headaches. Once your body becomes hydrated then headache will gradually decrease.
3. by clove
Warm some cloves of cloves on the pan. Bundle these hot clove buds in a handkerchief. Slip this bottle for a while. You will find that the headache is reduced.
4. By Basil leaves
You have often seen people drink tea or coffee after headaches. Once the basil leaves are cooked in water and eat it. It is more effective and beneficial than any tea and coffee.
5. Eating salt by applying apple
If you are not taking the name of headache even after trying hard, then cut an apple and put salt on it and eat it. This is a very effective way to get relief in headache.
6. Black Pepper and Mint Tea
Eating black pepper and mint tea in the headache is also very beneficial. If you want, you can also take some mint leaves of black tea.
I think the cause of headache is also important. I am suffering from a migraine. Massaging with peppermint oil and drinking lemon juice with warm water are the best solutions for me.
Drink sufficient water, eat an apple and why not get the right amount of sleep.
Some home remedies with which head ache can be reduce include:
1) Taking a rest or sleep
2) Drinking lot of water
3) Eating fruits like pawpaw
4) Don't be in a noisy environment
the part that uses your index finger and / or thumb. Give a light massage constant for 7-15 seconds, then release. Repeat until you feel less pain. Try asking someone else to massage your head, neck and shoulder area. Ask to massage with the right pressure, because if it is too slow it will not relax the tight muscles, but if it is too hard it will add to your headaches. Eating Blood sugar levels can cause headaches. Try eating a snack or drinking warm sweet tea first. Try to eat always on time to avoid headaches caused by a decrease in blood sugar.
Is there any possibility of Third World Wor?
Would you rather be a whale in the ocean, or plankton in the pond?
I would rather be a plankton. A plankton is the base of a complex aquatic food web. I want to be an integral part of an ecosystem and not a leecher.
I will like to be a whale in the ocean. Able to roam the 4 seas and admired by many. Though I will probably be more likely hunted down for my meat and oil.
I don't mind being a plankton in the ocean too. Though I am probably the lowest life form, at least I get to see the world.
Basically, it just sucks to be in a small pond. Regardless you are a whale or a plankton :)
If you have built a sustainable passive income for life (USD$20k/month), what would you do with your time and money?
If my health and fitness still allow me to, I will want to blend into the crowd and experience all walks of life. Having money doesn't end my learning journey, in fact I hope to start a fresh journey. One which I really want. Often in life, we are too caught up with trying to earn more money. And at the end, we might finally realize we haven't really live our life.
Hence, if I am fortunate to be financially free, I will want to experience life and see things from different perspective. Towards the end, I hope to pass down what I have learned to future generations. At that time, it might be nice to write and leave my knowledge on the immutable Steem blockchain :)
Top question for today from what I read. I would definitely travel more, I would buy me the car I'm wishing for some years, I would rent me some nice apartment in the area and of course I would donate some 5% of my income to people in need. I would still blog on Steemit of course.
How can you grow faster on Steemit?
I know it takes time to grow. There are many projects going on based on steem blockchain. Now if anyone wants to grow faster on Steemit, what suggestion do you have for her/him?
We can make our account bright in simple steps. first of all when we start joined in steemit we also joined musing and first we have to write introduction post on steemit then start using musing. when we start our introduction people can understand us properly and we became friends.
After introduction post we come to musing platform which is question and answer platform . in musing if we ask question or gives answer in both ways we get upvote by musing community and the upvotes we get are in steem dollars .so it directly transferred in our steemit wallet.
When we write answer or ask question in proper content then only we get upvote from musing community and from this we also increase the reputation score of steemit.
While getting upvotes we benefited from both the sides first we get upvotes from this we get steem dollars and also we increase the reputation score.
So this are the ways to grow faster in steemit
To grow faster on Steemit :
1. Write good contents.
2. Invest and use Bid-bot.
3. Promote your post in some communities.
4. Question/Answer on musing.io
5. Take part in the contests.
As per my knowledge to grow faster on steemit, there is only one way you can buy steem power by delegation or by your own. you can even use the Bots at steembottracker.com to upvote your post with a good amount but for free, there is no way to earn in steemit in less period of time. There are chances of you post in trending section if you have a good amount of steem power and you have good reputation otherwise I am working on steemit from last 3 months even after an investment of 500 steem power with delegation I did not get my amount back.
You can use steem blockchain other sources like musing.io, d-live, d-tube, etc which are famous for steem blockchain and may upvote your post with a good amount of steem power. For example you are using musing and if you are working with legit and good quality question and answer then musing team will upvote your post with even 10% then you may get a income of $2+ as it has more than 415000k of steem power so you have to target this kind of whales if you want to earn a good income in less time.
The main thing to focus on is on your blogs, you should make a proper blog which attracts people a lot and upvotes your post regularly and comment and upvotes should be done regularly from your account to a well-reputed account to get the proper amount of upvotes and comment in return. From the first day you may not get a proper value but after some months you may see the result and start earning regularly from steemit.
i believe someone can grow faster on steemit depending on the kind of quality contents the person is frequently creating on the steemit platform,but i believe that someone with frequent posting of lovely contents would definitely make the person to get audience and get more upvotes and the more upvotes they are getting the faster they can start growing on steemit..
There are so many ways to grow on Steemit, but like you said, most of the takes time. To grow on Steemit, you need to be known. One of the fastest ways to grow on Steemit is by making valuable posts as well as comments. Commenting heartfelt comments on other peoples's post will leave them with a good impression about you and they will love to check up on you. Also, you could invest in STEEM, people tend to flock around those who have more Steem Power and after joining Steemit for just 2 days with a huge Steem Power, you'll be amazed at how well known you've become. Promoting your posts with bidbots is another known way to grow faster on the Steem platform.
Cheers
Have you ever considered Steem, the blockchain, as a tool of storing memories, memories that you shared through your posts with all the details and feelings and that you can access decades from now?
For public and general post, yes I have considered it, but due to the inability of current Steem Dapps to enable and disable certain personal information to be private, it is not yet currently practical for mass use to store all details and feelings (especially private ones).
This shows you how we're still in the early days of Steem. Someday, someone will develop a DAPP that is both a social media front and yet the functionality to store personal information for keepsake.
This can be achieve with encryption of data before storing it as json or in another decentralized format, the main things to consider on how to make this practical by extend and authorizing decryption to a display server through enabling very fine data control to select and alter what can private or public. Such a widely customizable sharing capability build on a secure (user controlled privacy, not centralized privacy) architecture, would be an excellent layer to have over Steem, just like hivemind.
Used to at first!
What separates Steem from other social media platforms is that: not only does what you post into the blockchain lasts forever (blockchains are immutable) but you might also get rewarded for doing so.
However with the way blog posts are being displayed right now (single line streamline) it is literally hard to browse on people's post. Everything is just disorganized. If you want to check out a friend's account whom you haven't checked to for a long time, you literally have to scroll down like forever to catch up.
So something must be done first on how posts are being displayed and how blog posts are organized before we even think of storing and sharing all of our memories to the blockchain.
Taking the example of Steemit do you think that humanity is ready for decentralizing everything?
Honestly, NO!
I have been on Steemit for over 7 months now, and one thing I have noticed is that around 90% of people in the platform don't fully know how the blockchain works. Sure it is somewhat complicated, but A LOT of people don't even bother reading the FAQ's and understanding how it fully works. All they know is that the platform gives out free money.
And whenever money is involved, people go bananas. People will try to game the system and those people are most always the one who loves to complain about the unfairness in the platform. "Why is that guy getting more rewards than I am?" "Why is this platform not upvoting me". So to answer your question, unless people start to care about how the platform and blockchain fully works or make it more user-friendly, then NO! it is still not ready for decentralizing everything.
You CANNOT decentralize everything. Decentralization inherently has certain strengths and weaknesses. A lot of activities and platform will be on a scale of being remotely to totally decentralized.
The internet as we now know it is truly decentralized information. With cryptocurrency, we have decentralized money. So, when many facets of information and human interaction becomes decentralized, it will be easier for segments of society to adopt it. Especially, the youth and tech savvy folks.
Let humanity be on a path to decentralization but with babysteps. 😊
In theory, it seems like everything can be decentralized. The key question to ask is whether the benefits of decentralization outweighs the cons. Some things are more efficient when decentralized while others not so much.
For instance the banking system can be more decentralized. There are a lot of money being spent on audits and compliance in the banking sector because we do not trust them. Imagine if we have a trustless decentralized banking platform, such costs wouldn't be incurred.
However, imagine if we are trying to build a decentralized traffic guiding system. There is no clear benefit in doing so.
So to answer your question, I think humanity is not ready to decentralize everything. However, we are on the path to decentralize whatever makes sense to be decentralized. Because humans are always on the path to improve efficiency
Theoretically, it would not be possible.
To break it simply, it's like asking 'is it possible to cure cancer?'.
The ideal answer is that, yes. The real answer, however, would be not possible.
I am answering this question based on utilitarianism, where individuals or groups would maximise their own profits/ utility. In the case of cancer, unfortunately, there would be conflict of interests between the researcher, general public and the pharmaceutical companies. Researchers and pharmaceutical companies (not all) basically need funding or profits to sustain their work. However, general public would need the cure to minimize their costs in medical treatment (in other words, increase their utility). Unfortunately, there would be no true solution for this, as both parties will always fight to maximize their utility.
The problem with decentralization is that, there would always be a central entity who would not be willing to give up the centralization power. This means, there would not be a truly decentralized society at all. The only way to solve this fallacy is to share the same goal and value.
In Steemit, it is evident that not all of the participants are willing to add value to the system. Instead, they are just here for easy money. Unless a common value is established amongst all the participants, the true decentralization of Steemit would not be possible at the moment. Particularly, the usage of vote bot and self-voting are actually bad for curating organic article on the platform, but people still use it anyway.
Ok, people just started decentralising things. Decentralisation has its won limitations. If human wants then it possible by a time . But in my opinion everything shouldn't be decentralized.
When should parents start teaching their kids how to save money?
As soon as possible! The key idea is not just to teach them about saving money. It should be more about teaching them to invest, accept delayed gratification and seeing the big picture. I know it may be far-fetched to be teaching all these to a kid. But I think we should teach them whenever there is an opportunity.
I do not have kid of my own, however, I recalled there was a time when my niece wanted to get something from a toy store. She was 7 years old back then. At that time, I asked her why did she want the toy. Being a kid, she said something like, "I just want it". I took the opportunity to teach her that there must be a good reason for everything you need to spend money on. Because her parents' money doesn't come easy. Every dollar spent on unnecessary things, could mean losing a dollar on the necessities. I am not sure if she got it at that time, but at least she didn't insist on getting the toy that day.
From the example I described, you can see that teaching kids such concepts earlier will also benefit yourself. That is why it is so important to start ASAP and find every chance to impart these knowledge to them. Looking back, I wished my parents could have taught me the concept of investing and saving earlier in my childhood. I will probably be in a much better financial position than I am now if I had started earlier.
You can start teaching your kids how to save money from when they are 6 years old and above, at that stage they should be able to understand what money is and the value of it. To make things easier though before you move on to money, try and get them to value and appreciate their toys and other stuff that they own, as that would give them a sense of responsibility already before introducing them to saving money.
6-9 years old
At an age that has a little more understanding of an explanation, you can start to teach your child to save. In addition, you can also begin to teach the values of money and what value is spent in buying an item. This is useful so that they appreciate more every money they have.
From an early age, one year before they enter the world of school, because the earlier we teach a child to save money, the more effective they will be in doing so.

What are the kinds of disease that causes frequent urination?
What's your favorite messaging app? Why?
My favourite is called LINE. It was first released in Japan in 2011 and became extremely popular very quickly. They have users all over the world, but it seems to be more popular in Asia. I started using it because everyone here in Thailand makes use of it, I continue using it because of its reliability and huge amount of features and apps that are compatible with it. Give it a go, it's awesome! It's available on nearly all platforms.
If I ask a good question and you make a pile off the answer you give, should musing delegate a portion to me??
As in, there could be a special checkbox that says "please send ten percent to the questioner if I make over X amount". Musings from an original muser.
It democracy is the best option for a country?
a country can be said to be a democratic country if it contains 4 characteristics,
-first is the existence of a fair electoral mechanism so as to enable the public to vote or change his government.
-second, the active participation of citizens in politics.
-Third, protection of human rights.
-Fourth, everyone's equality is in the eyes of the law.
All developed countries on this earth use a democratic system so that we can draw conclusions that there is something behind democracy that triggers or at least become a container that makes progress in a country more likely to be achieved.
because democracy is only a tool that makes people have the opportunity to choose the best candidates, provide opportunities to supervise and criticize elements in government, and provide an opportunity for people to ask for transparency and provide an opportunity for people to "punish" the party or someone who is corrupt or incompetent by not having it anymore. these opportunities are generally not available in non-democratic systems.
For a country that knows how to handle democracy yes it is. I live in an ex-communist country and I can tell you that after the fall of the Communist regime and it's leader, Nicolae Ceausescu, we as people have more freedom than during his reign, business were possible after the so called "revolution", while before it everything belonged to the state, but salaries and the wealth of the whole country was affected.
I guess that almost all of the people couldn't take much longer under the regime, but didn't knew what to do with the democracy either. Lots of the factories were closed and sold for nothing, while people got unemployed or working for foreign companies for cheap wages while just a handful of people took the strings of power into their hands and businesses.
Democracy means definitely freedom, but only in the hands of the people who know what to do with it, otherwise it's just modern slavery.
Yeah it is if the country's democracy is a fair one.
I will do say that democracy is the best form or government out there. The masses have the opportunity and privilege to vote for who they so desire and the government can't force a rule on the citizens without an opposition unlike the military
The only disadvantage democracy can have is when the system of government is a corrupt and the choice of leaders of the citizens/masses are not the ones being elected.
I think it's true because democracy is a government that all citizens have the same rights and freedoms in making decisions that can change their lives towards a better one. This system is very appropriate to be used in a country because democracy implies an appreciation of human dignity.
Was the Moon mission fake?
No. Wikipedia has an article listing independent third-party evidence that all the moon missions happened.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings
Yes, in my personal opinion. Because in that time technology was not that developed that we can go to moon , and there were no moon human mission after a little time though we're now more developed.
But there're many evidences that show that moon mission was real.
In my honest opinion, I can't see any rational reason other than bragging rights for faking such a big event. If you think about it that way, without even considering the evidence, you'll probably realise that it was most likely true. Add the evidence in though, and now it's pretty hard to deny. People debunk things pretty well these days, and I haven't seen anything concrete to make me believe otherwise.

What can we do to make Steem more valuable?
In the last months, I noticed that Steemit and all other platforms using the Steem Blockchain are lacking of really good content. You see the issue with this is, if we do not provide really high-quality content on the Steem Blockchain, the price will not rise nor will be the blockchain successful in a longterm view. A lot of people are addressing this issue in their blog posts, but nearly nobody managed to find a suitable solution. We situation is clear: With postings about flowers and food we do not attract new users to the platform. The question I want to ask relating this topic: How can we change this and make the Steem Blockchain the most valuable Blockchain in the near future?
Thanks for your answers! :)
The current lost in value is more market related than Steem related, the best thing you can do is either, help develop if you have any technical skills or invite your friends and family into the platform to increase our userbase!
Being an active member of the community also helps out, guiding newbies to increase our retention rate and cheer leading the dev team every once in a while when they post is not a bad idea either :-P
Big updates are coming to Steem in the next few months and we can expect a lot of price movements towards the green hopefully :-D
My 2c on what best to do:
1) Improve the marketing for the Steem environment in other channels and media, the Steemit logo needs to be more present on other sites (like the reddit, telegram or linkdin logos)
2) To leverage this, it would be beneficial to create some incentivization for doing marketing for Steemit, e.g. by giving some delegation or Steem to people who bring new users to the platform (of course only real users who do some regular posting), or to incentivize sites that apply the Steemit logo. Money is there (as seen by the huge delegation to musing.io!)
3) New users need to be much more supported. Often they get some good rewards on the "introduceyourself" post, but then their visibility and rewards are 0. Of course many leave as a consequence. So curators need to pay attention to the follow up posts of those newbies. Also it shouldn´t be that difficult to program a bot (with some human oversight) to take care about this. This should be a standing task of the witnesses, they get payed for it.
4) On the long run it should be thought about the massive misuse of buying votes which derails the quality of the content and perverts the curation idea (If 50% of votes are bought and not given for decent content, then we can´t speak any longer about "proof of brain" but "proof of power"). If you can´t get into the "trending" pages without advertisment, then there is a serious flaw. So why not introduce a limit for buying upvotes? People with high SP would then be forced to manually vote more instead of randomly sell their VP.
5) I also would release the limit of upvotes possible only within 7 days. Wouldn´t it be technically possible to have an initial payout after 7 days, but keep the voting open and do then additional payouts e.g. monthly?
6) And last not least, the steemit frontend needs to get improved by more filtering options, search functions to retrieve old posts and a chat function. Also to have more than 5 tags would be helpful.
I 100% agree on this!
I think voting quality post and also supporting curation project will make the steem block chain grow faster and better because the people already on it will be inspired to invite their friends to join....
Personally right now I think quality of content posted on the blockchain doesn't really matter that much when it comes to the price of Steem. Sure it's annoying and highly disappointing to see thrashy posts and some one pic photography posts sitting on "Hot" and "Trending" boosted by bid bots, but those very same people have invested big chunk of money on Steem years ago which overall increased the price of Steem to now barely a dollar (from a few cents years ago).
What Steem needs right now to make it more valuable is to increase its user retention. A lot of newbies left the platform after less than a week of being on it. Why? Because no matter how exceptional or decent their content is, no one will upvote or support a total random newbie on the blockchain. People who have large stakes on this platform and even Steemit Inc should first do something about this issue because we are clearly losing this battle.
More people on the blockchain = More word about it = More investors for the blockchain
Second thing is Marketing. I have been on this platform for over 7months now and I have seen no marketing so far by the Steemit Inc team (correct me if I'm wrong on this one). How would Steem get more investors if no one will ever hear about it?
One way to add value to a Crypto Currency is to accept it as a payment method.
A other way to add value is to develop apps. For example Musing.io or DLive are adding a lot of value to the steem Blockchain.
It does also help if ou talk about steemit with your friends or family. The more people use steem the more value it does have.
Definitely post quality content, promote Steem, the blockchain and of course invest in Steem, the token.
As a cryptocurrency investor and a lover of cryptocurrency. I think steem coin should be more involved in more natural and realistic state. For example newbies on Steemit should be followed up strictly immediatley they sign up on steemit and them compensated with some token of steem or steem power. This will make th more happy to creat more awareness making more persons involved in Steemit platform thereby raising up the demand of steem.
Now a new idea just flew into me, "why not bring up news updates from steem platform, then ask individuals to share the news updates on their different social media platforms with the steem link and logo embedded on this news updates. Then people will received some amount of steem for sharing and commenting on news updates powered by steem.
The best answer other than to buy and hold is for the platform to continue to attract the best and brightest developers to create products and service like Steem Monsters as just one example that attract people to this platform and make people want to use it as part of their everyday lives to promote the platform and to promote the Steem cryptocurrency which is connected to this. Steemit needs to become one of the most popular sites out there and be constantly gaining new users and eventually you will see the prices rise.
from my personal observation i realized that the steem price dropping is not really a steem problem but a general cryptocurrency market and i noticed that whenever the bitcoin price is dropping then majority of other cryptocurrencies tend to follow it and drop too so that is why cryptocurrency investors need to believe in the market and keep investing to make the demands increase and when the demand is consistent then the prices of many cryptocurrencies including steem will keep rising..

Who should be blamed for a dirty environement,the leaders or the followers?
The leaders, since they have control over the followers. Even in a democratic society, the leader can easily set a good example for the followers by picking up some trash while he's in public, or encouraging creating jobs for people to pick up and clean the trash in the streets. At the end of the day, followers rarely do things themselves without being told to and encouraged to, while the leader can just pick up some trash and many other people would join.
Should we drink wine ?
Wine has both bad and good effects. You can drink wine but just a glass. We know that articles like these are tempting fodder for excuses to down a bottle with a friend under the guise of, “It’s healthy for me!” But we’re really only advocating a glass a day — that’s all.
Heavy drinking comes with a laundry list of terrifying side effects of its own, and likely counteracts all the good you’d otherwise do for your body with a smooth glass of red. And with alcoholism climbing rapidly in popularity in the United States, we should all be mindful to prevent such excess consumption now more than ever.
But honestly, this list is still great news. There’s just something so relaxing about sitting down with a glass of wine at dinner or winding down after a busy day with wine and reality TV. As it turns out, the benefits go far beyond simple relaxation.
The verdict on alcohol consumption as a whole is more messy and confusing, but health experts seem to agree on one thing: Wine in moderation is great for you. In study after study, we discover more perks that turn an indulgent glass of red wine into an elixir of health.

Is it true that couples who have sex mostly during the nights tend to have more male children than female children?
Actually, I have read about this topic just recently. To answer your question, no, definitely no.
There are no statistics actually supporting this statement, nor any scientific proofs. In fact, people (I mean, majority of us) only have sex at night. Therefore, naturally, all those night sexes eventually lead to pregnancies. The chance of having male or female baby is essentially the same.
We can agree that (traditionally and now) most people work during the day and so have not a lot time to have sex. If night-time sex would leed to more boys, there would always have been a surplus in boys ;)

Do you think musing should improve profile section in future?
i think musing.io is a great platform and improving the profile section will make the platform to become even greater,one of the things that can be done to improve the profile section is that they should create a feature that will show the statistics of number of questions and answers a person wrote on the platform and also the total number of upvotes they got,there should also be a ranking information that ranks them based on their performance on this platform.
Definitely, the upcoming hivemind updates should will provide the ability for Musing.io to revamp its profile section!
In steemit, musing is one of the most important platform. Musing is a platform where any steemian can ask questions and also reply questions. Musing also help new steemians by giving answers.
When anybody ask any question in musing, then anyone can answer the question. Musing has also add a option that writer can add the answer on his blog. Musings are as helpful as they are now and they will in future.
When a writer will answer a question and he will add the comment on his post. Then another writer can see the post And a good feeling about him will awaken. Also other steemians can take knowledge from his post. They will benefit. It will be so informative that the writer's profile will be improved.
As more women are becoming breadwinners, what role can a man provide to his woman other than traditional provider?
i believe that there are so much things that a man can do in his home aside from financial provision,some of the roles a man can play to his woman is that he should be caring to her both emotionally and physically a man should have listening ears to the plight of his woman especially when she is in a bad situation or bad mood, a man should learn to spend enough time with his family and always stay faithful to his woman and make the woman have assurance that she has got a good man by her side..
What about a partner? Being together, helping each other? If one of them has a problem the other one can help etc.
If everything one peron in a marriage is is the "breadwinner" it sounds more like a business and not a family ;)
What turns you on in the opposite sex?
From the stand point of the human anatomy: Everything we see or can feel in the human body are fundamentally just human organ, that is there to perform a particular function for the continuity of growth and livelihood...
But human emotions brings a psychological feeling which demands expression from us when some of this organs are revealed, slightly expose or touched..
The psychological feels can also be aroused buy certain behaviors/acts such as.
- An act of kindness
- Dancing
- Smiling
- Walking
- Singing....
With that being said, what turns you on may reasonable am what turns me on absurd. We still a working progress.
As for me, i am a sucker for boobs....

How to delegate Steem Power?
How to delegate steem power by accessing https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html
enter your username and also enter the amount of steem power that will be delegated, example image below.
First of all, there are many tools that help you to make delegations. As for me, I have experience two ways:
1. Using steemworld.org/@username, of course, that @username is your username and upon the side finishes loading the interface, you can click the "Delegations" tab and tap "Delegate SP".
2. Via steemconnect, there are three ways to utilize this tool as a way of delegating your precious steem power (SP). First, directly accesing steemconnect official site and be sure it is started with "https://" which ensures your transaction to be secured and upon logging in, you can do delegation. Second, installation of SteemPlus plug-in, this plug-in has "Delegation" features, and allows you to visit your wallet and do the delegation both in busy and steemit front-ends. Discord servers, that has bots that connected to Steem, wherein just a single command, for example: "$delegate josephace135 50", this means a transaction is to delegate to josephace135 with 50 SP; and upon entering that command, you are given a link that is from steemconnect.
Well, I hope this makes sense.

What will you say to someone who is feeling suicidal ?
To dive deep into his soul and listen to his inner voice and then find out if it's really worth commit suicide. Sometimes the mind is a liar and a misguiding voice, but the soul and its intuition always know better.
You could literally say anything, just as long you let them express their feelings.
Never say it's ok or it's alright! Feeling of suicidal simply means they are not feeling alright! You should lend them your ears to listen to all their problems or your shoulders for them to cry on. The most powerful sentence, I think, is "You can always count on me, and I am always here for you!"
Who should be blamed for high sexual immoralities,the media or the society as a whole?
I don't believe the relative rate is any different than it used to be. There are just more people now in the population and the openness of certain types of sexual immorality is more acceptable. If anything we may be tame compared to ancient Roman culture if we apply our concepts of sexual immorality to them.
The media tends to be a mirror of how society presents itself. The media calls it as it sees it and it wouldn't be doing what it is doing if there wasn't such a large demand.
Define "high sexual immoralities" ;)
The media likes to show all kinds of new, of shocking things. Old news don't sell. But people in the yellow press don't have anything to do with our lives. Ignore them.

Why do some people believe so much in superstitions?
As for me, people believe on superstitions simply because it has been passed by from generations to generations. We do not know what exactly happened during those previous generations. People especially those that are elderly are the ones who usually share those superstitions beliefs and when they are asked, they will just respond that there is no harm when you try to follow and obey. And most of the time, we obey and follow what they are saying. Some of us might find it strange but believe, people especially those in rural or in provinces or places that are far from cities still practice and believe some superstitious beliefs.
the scientists assert, that superstition and strong belief in magic spells are only an attempt for some people to regain control over the lives they have lost.
The authors argue that control of any situation is very important for people if it is not possible to threaten life. In this case, control plays a role.
But psychologists emphasize the fact, that people often look for relationships that don't exist between events in their lives, and believe that there is a secret mechanism for the rules of one's fate.
This is one of the psychological needs inherent in us. This article goes on to say, that at ordinary times people blame for their problems with certain events in their past.
Psychologists believe that it leads to the emergence of various rituals such as wearing protective talismans, fear of "bad omens", and so on.
These things aim to reveal the way of superstition in spring, the researchers asked volunteer participants to write compositions that describe important events in their lives.
Some participants explained the events that took place under their control, while others, in contrast, recalled things that were beyond their control to control, such as illness, accidents, and others.
The facts that speak say, that participants who describe losing their control over a situation tend to believe in different mystical signs and correlations between other mystical events.
The authors say, superstition is a form of compensation for loss of confidence in yourself.
Because we human think we should give everything an explanation, yet we are not as smart. How much truth do we, as human, really know in fact :)
So they start to believe something that can give certain things a reason, such as where we come from, etc.
Because there are bad ideas about God and lack of faith. In addition, according to Al-Qarni, there are heretical beliefs that deviate from tauhidullah, there are animist influences that believe in good luck, such as rings, wafaq, amulets, or Al-Qur'an lafadz installed in the body. A person who believes in superstition is usually less trustworthy in God.
Many who still believe in superstition may be due to family and environmental influences. Families or the environment usually have special rituals with a specific purpose. Usually, the ritual will be passed on to the younger generation to honor the ancestral heritage. Of course, the younger generation with a narrow perspective, will only believe in beliefs that are considered normal. That's what happened.
