Who is your favorite character in Family Guy and why?

Mine is Stewie (the baby).

I love his voice and how he talks. Cracks me up every time. Anytime am watching the show I always look out for his scenes. I've even nicknamed the show Stewie.
PoliticsDid You Vote? by BlueJuniper(op): 3:35pm On Feb 23, 2019
In my street alone, I know more than 20 people who were condemning Buhari before the elections. But today they sat at home. More than half of them don't have their PVC. If Buhari wins now they will say INEC has rigged the election.

Nigerians are the ones destroying Nigeria. Go and get your PVC, you people refused. Those that got their didn't come out to vote. I just don't want to hear pimmm from anyone (especially the ones that didn't vote) after the result are released.

BusinessRecommended Program For Beginners Looking To Make Money Online by BlueJuniper(op): 8:51pm On Jan 12, 2019
Whenever a beginner or newbie comes to me and is looking for a legitimate way to make money online I always point them over to Wealthy Affiliate. The reason is that I know it works because I am living proof.

But there are many reasons for this. Wealthy Affiliate is a great way particularly for beginners to get started because it is simple, it is affordable, and support that is available is great.

By the way, I should mention that you won’t “get rich quick”! This takes time and hard work, which is what anything in life worth having takes.


What Is Wealthy Affiliate?
Wealthy Affiliate is an online business training platform. You could kind of think of it as an “all inclusive” type of deal. As a member you get the training you need to build an online business; you get the tools that are required to do so; and you get the support that everyone needs every once in a while when you get confused or stuck on something.

When you sign up at Wealthy Affiliate you have access to a step by step training course that will take you from nothing at all to having your own online business up and running.

The way they teach you to make money online is by promoting products. Its called affiliate marketing and this is when you promote products online for companies. Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Apple, Nike, Macy’s… every big retailer has an affiliate program that anyone can sign up to for free and make money doing this. And when you do this you are not an employee, you are simply an independent contractor that can work as much or as little as you want to.

To summarize how this business model all works here you go: you promote a product, someone clicks your promotion, they are directed to the online store (Amazon for example) to buy it, they purchase the product, you get paid a commission.

Its a great business model that I still make 85% of my online income from.

What Makes Wealthy Affiliate So Great?
As I had mentioned before Wealthy Affiliate is simple and affordable. Not to mentioned the support, training and tools that would be provided for you.

The training: When you join you can immediately start training. There are 5 core courses with 10 lessons in each. These will walk you through the process of getting your online business up and running. They are very well laid out and are easy to follow.

Just to give you an idea of what to expect, here are what the 10 lessons in course 1 will be about…

Now I know this may seem a bit overwhelming at first but what you have to realize is that it is broken down step by step. This training is seriously not hard to get through at all. And I honestly mean that.

One nice feature within the training is a checklist where you can check of each task as you move along. This makes it so that you follow along better and don’t get lost.

The Tools: It seems that the website building part of this all is what really makes people nervous. The reality is that no one should be nervous about this. You don’t need any tech skills or anything like that. The days of coding and building a website on your own are in the past.

Wealthy Affiliate has one of the easiest to use website builders that I know of. Building a site can be done in 4 simple steps and here is a screenshot inside WA to show you this…

There are other tools that WA provides, such as the Keyword Research Tool, but these are things you will learn how to use in the training.

Wealthy Affiliate is a great training program that anyone looking to make money online should try out. What they teach is not overly complicated and there is really no good reason why you shouldn’t be able to be successful if you are smart enough to follow along with what I am writing here. I’m serious when I say there is nothing really that hard to do. It just takes time and hard work.

And to show you the cumulative nature of this business and how you can increase your income more and more here is a screenshot of my earnings (at the end of this post) over a 12 month period. As you can see I was really able to grow my business. I started out with nothing, went on to earning a little, and now am making a living doing this.


The method of making money online that Wealthy Affiliate teaches you takes time and real work. But one of the nice things about it is that you can continually build upon your income more and more. This business is very cumulative in nature and you will start out earning nothing. Then you can build that up to earn $10 a day, then $20 a day, then $30, and $40, and $50, and on and on.


The Cost
Wealthy Affiliate has 2 memberships that they offer. They have the free Starter Membership and then they have a paid Premium Membership, which is how they make money and stay in business.

The free Starter Membership is something that you would probably expect to not be all that great because it is free but it actually is pretty darn awesome. With this membership you get access to Course 1 that includes 10 lesson, Phase 1 of Affiliate Bootcamp with another 10 lessons, and you will get access to 2 classrooms of training. You will also get limited access to the keyword research tool and you will get 2 free websites plus website hosting.

The Premium Membership gives you everything that WA has to offer. You get all 5 training courses and all 5 Phases of Affiliate Bootcamp, access to all 13 training classrooms, unlimited use of the keyword research tool, unlimited website hosting, and a bunch bunch more.

The Premium Membership is absolutely amazing. It give you everything you need and there are no hidden costs or upsells after that. However, I still always recommend that beginners start out with the free Starter Membership. It is just a better choice because its completely risk free and you never know if you really are going to like something until you try it. So my advice would be to sign up for your free Starter Membership.

This same free Starter Membership is how I started out back in 2015. It gives you a free start and if its something that you can see yourself doing for the long-run you can always upgrade your membership to premium later on if you wish.

So if you are willing to put in the time and work then why not go for it? You have nothing to lose by joining as a Starter Member for free.

Just go for it. Sign up here for free and see what you think. Put in the work and you could be making a living like me soon enough.

Oh ya, and I know this can be very confusing and you probably have all sorts of questions. Just leave your questions, comments, or concerns in the comment section below and I’ll get back to you soon.

***Remember to use VPN when signing up if you are from Nigeria. This qualify you for some of their services that not extended to Nigeria. Don't worry though after signing up, you can login from Nigeria without a problem.

Sigu up link in first. I'll get a commission when you sign up through my link.
NB: The commission wouldn't come from your pocket but from Wealthy Affiliate.

HealthEarly Pregnancy Symptoms: 14 Signs To Look For by BlueJuniper(op): 9:07pm On Dec 06, 2018
1. Implantation bleeding

From week one to week four , everything is still
happening on a cellular level. The fertilized egg
creates a blastocyst (a fluid-filled group of cells)
that will develop into the baby’s organs and body
parts. About 10 to 14 days (week four) after
conception, the blastocyst will implant in the
endometrium, the lining of the uterus. This can
cause implantation bleeding which may be
mistaken for a light period.

Here are some signs of implantation bleeding:
Color: The color of each episode may be pink,
red, or brown.
Bleeding: Bleeding is usually compared to your
regular menstrual period. Spotting is defined by
blood present only when wiping.
Pain: Pain may be mild, moderate, or severe.
According to a study of 4539 women , 28 percent
of women associated their spotting and light
bleeding with pain.
Episodes: Implantation bleeding is likely to last
less than three days and doesn’t require
treatment.

Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, or using illicit
drugs, which are associated with heavy bleeding.


2. Missed period

Once implantation is complete, your body will
begin producing human chorionic gonadotropin
(hCG). This hormone helps the body maintain the
pregnancy. It also tells the ovaries to stop
releasing mature eggs each month.
You will likely miss your next period four weeks
after conception. If you have an irregular period,
you’ll want to take a pregnancy test to confirm.
Most home tests can detect hCG as soon as eight
days after a missed period. A pregnancy test will
be able to detect hCG levels in your urine and
show if you are pregnant.


3. Temperature

A higher basal body temperature may also be a
sign of pregnancy. Your body’s core temperature
may also increase more easily during exercise or
in hot weather. During this time, you’ll need to
make sure to drink more water and exercise
cautiously.


4. Fatigue

Fatigue can develop any time during pregnancy.
This symptom is common among the early
symptoms of pregnancy. Your progesterone levels
will soar, which can make you feel sleepy.


5. Heart rate

Around week 8 or 10, your heart may begin
pumping faster and harder. Palpitations and
arrhythmias are common in pregnancy. This is
normally due to hormones. Increased blood flow
due to the fetus happens later in pregnancy.
Ideally, management starts before conception, but
if you have an underlying heart problem, your
doctor can help supervise low dosages of drugs.


6. Breast change

Breast changes can occur between the fourth and
sixth week. You’re likely to develop tender and
swollen breasts due to hormone changes. This is
likely to go away after a few weeks when your
body has adjusted to the hormones.
Nipple and breast changes can also occur around
the eleventh week. Hormones continue to cause
your breasts to grow. The areola — the area
around the nipple — may change to a darker color
and grow larger. If you’ve had bouts with acne
prior to your pregnancy, you may also experience
breakouts again.


7. Mood swings

The estrogen and progesterone levels will be high
during pregnancy. This increase can affect your
mood and make you more emotional or reactive
than usual. Mood swings are common during
pregnancy and may cause feelings of depression ,
irritability, anxiety , and euphoria.


8. Frequent urination

During pregnancy, your body increase the amount
of blood it pumps. This causes the kidney to
process more fluid than usual, which leads to
more fluid in your bladder. Hormones also play a
large role in bladder health. You may find
yourself running to the bathroom more frequently
or accidentally leaking.


9. Bloating

Similar to symptoms of a menstrual period,
bloating may occur during early pregnancy. This
may be due to hormone changes, which can also
slow your digestive system down. You may feel
constipated and blocked as a result. Constipation
can also increase feelings of abdominal bloating.


10. Morning sickness

Nausea and morning sickness usually develops
around the fourth to sixth week . Although it’s
called morning sickness, it can occur any time
during the day or night. It’s unclear exactly what
causes nausea and morning sickness, but
hormones may play a role.
During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy , many
women experience decreased morning sickness,
according to the American Pregnancy Association.


11. High blood pressure

In most cases, high or normal blood pressure will
drop in the early stages of pregnancy. This may
also cause feelings of dizziness, since your blood
vessels are dilated.
High blood pressure as a result of pregnancy is
more difficult to determine. Almost all cases of
hypertension within the first 20 weeks indicate
underlying problems. It may develop during early
pregnancy, but it may also be present beforehand.
Your doctor will take your blood pressure during
your first visit to help establish a baseline for a
normal blood pressure reading.


12. Smell sensitivity

This symptom is mostly self-reported. There is
little scientific evidence about smell sensitivity
during the first trimester. But it may be important,
as smell sensitivity may trigger nausea and
vomiting. It may also cause food aversions.
One review looked at reports from 1922 to 2014
about the relationship between smells and
pregnancy. The researcher found a trend that
pregnant women tended to rate odors as more
intense during their first trimester.


13. Weight gain

Weight gain becomes more common toward the
end of your first trimester. You may find yourself
gaining about one to four pounds in the first few
months. The calorie requirements for early
pregnancy won’t change much from your usual
diet, but they will increase as pregnancy
progresses.
In the later stages, pregnancy weight often
spreads out between the:
• breasts (about 1 to 3 pounds)
• uterus (about 2 pounds)
• placenta (1 and 1/2 pounds)
• amniotic fluid (about 2 pounds)
• increased blood and fluid volume (about 5 to 7
pounds)
• fat (6 to 8 pounds)


14. Heartburn

Hormones can cause the valve between your
stomach and esophagus to relax. This allows
stomach acid to leak, causing heartburn.

Health9 Natural Relief From Arthritis Pain by BlueJuniper(op): 2:20pm On Dec 04, 2018
Arthritis is a group of painful and degenerative
conditions marked by inflammation in the joints
that causes stiffness and pain. Osteoarthritis, the
most common type of arthritis, gets worse with
age and is caused by wear and tear over the
years while rheumatoid arthritis is caused by the
immune system attacking the joints as if they were
foreign tissues. Remember to consult your doctor before trying these natural remedies.

1. Lose weight

Your weight can make a big impact on the amount
of pain you experience from arthritis. Extra
weight puts more pressure on your joints —
especially your knees, hips, and feet.
Reducing the stress on your joints by losing
weight will improve your mobility, decrease pain,
and prevent future damage to your joints.


2. Get more exercise

There are more benefits to exercise than just
weight loss. Regular movement helps to maintain
flexibility in your joints. Weight-bearing exercises
such as running and walking can be damaging.
Instead, try low-impact exercises such as water
aerobics or swimming to flex your joints without
adding further stress.


3. Use hot and cold therapy

Simple hot and cold treatments can make a world
of difference when it comes to arthritis pain.
Long, warm showers or baths — especially in the
morning — help ease stiffness in your joints. Use
an electric blanket or moist heating pad at night to
keep your joints loose.
Cold treatments are best for relieving joint pain ,
swelling, and inflammation. Wrap a gel ice pack
or a bag of frozen vegetables in a towel and apply
it to painful joints for quick relief.


4. Try acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical
treatment that involves inserting thin needles into
specific points on your body. This is supposed to
reroute energies and restore balance in your body.
Acupuncture is the most researched
complementary therapy and is recommended by
the World Health Organization for treatment of
over 100 different conditions.


5. Use medication to cope with pain

Meditation and relaxation techniques may be able
to help you reduce pain from arthritis by reducing
stress and enabling you to cope with it better.
According to the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), studies have found that the practice of
mindfulness meditation is helpful for some
people with painful joints. Researchers also found
that those with depression and arthritis benefitted
the most from meditation. When stress is
reduced , inflammation and thus swelling and pain
drop.


6. Include the right fatty acid in your diet

Everyone needs omega-3 fatty acids in their diet
for optimum health. These fats also help your
arthritis. Fish oil supplements, which are high in
omega-3s, have been shown to reduce joint
stiffness and pain.
Another fatty acid that can help is gamma-
linolenic acid , or GLA. It’s found in the seeds of
certain plants such as evening primrose, borage,
hemp, and black currants . You can also buy the
oils of the seeds as a supplement. However, be
sure to check with your doctor before taking
them.


7. Add tumeric to dishes

Turmeric, the yellow spice common in Indian
dishes, contains a chemical called curcumin that
may help to reduce arthritis pain. The secret is its
anti-inflammatory properties.
The NIH reports that turmeric given to lab rats
reduced inflammation in their joints. More
research on use of the supplement for humans is
needed, but it can’t hurt to add this tasty spice to
your dinners.


8. Get a massage

According to the Arthritis Foundation , regular
massaging of arthritic joints can help reduce pain
and stiffness and improve your range of motion.
Work with a physical therapist to learn self-
massage, or schedule appointments with a
massage therapist regularly.


9. Consider herbal supplements

There are many kinds of herbal supplements on
the market that claim to be able to reduce joint
pain. Some of the herbs touted for arthritis pain
include:
boswellia
bromelain
devil’s claw
ginkgo
stinging nettle
thunder god vine
Always talk to your doctor before trying a new
supplement to avoid side effects and dangerous
drug interactions. Herbs are not monitored by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration for quality,
purity, or safety. Be sure to buy from a reputable
source.
