I need to review because last i took exam i didn't get to past because i did not review anything because of busyness in work.. I wanted to past it as additional achievements and credentials ,also one requirement to enter into government establishments..😊😊 It was too long be here again,i missed a lot post here .. How are you people??.😊

Tindi ng bagsak ng ulan simula pa kahapon..ang daming baha na sa iba't ibang lugar kaya mag ingat po ang lahat.. Hep..hep..hep..its been too long that i visit here again in noise .😁medjo bisibisihan ang lola. Parang na full talaga yong time management na tinatawag..aixt. Good morning po sa lahat .

So sad ,better luck next time na lang para sa akin..maybe it is not the time for me para maipasa ang csc exam. Pero kukuha pa din next year.heheh kulang lang sa time siguro sa pagreview maybe next time kahit na kulang sa time try pa din na makapag review especially doon sa part na mababa yong score . Hindi pa naman huli ang lahat,meron nga iba ilang take na din not only once but ten try already..ehehhe

Up..up..up..the sun is already up and the typhoon is already away..but the damaged still left to those who are affected but don't lose hope getting up and fight for all of trials in life .

Allergy attack again bakit always na lang lalo pag maulan ang panahon parang mabaliw ako sa pangangatsing ang kati ng ilong ko to the rescue ng citirezin at smydex-d nakakairita kasi hindi makakilos ng maigi ..hay naku,wala naman ako nito noon pero heto ngayun ranas na ranas ko at parang lumala pa.. Rainy evening to all..keep safe po tayo kasi parang merong bagyo .

Sometimes people cannot understand our point of view,of what we meant. Sometimes they get it wrong.We talkee ,we explained much but sometimes we better choose to be silent rather than explaining to someone who didn't understand you. Good evening people..Feeling tired and feeling sleepy,even it's too early .

Never ever react on a story that you are not included or not part of the story because sometimes you put yourself down to anyone ,don't be paranoid if you are like those telling on the story because you don't know who is that person that talking about ,better quite and listen. Ito talaga yong problema ng iba na paparanoid dahil akala nila sila na yong pinag uusapanan pero di nila alam iba pala..😁

Wooo..noise app..updated?hmmff how to be in this app,is it just like the other the one that we use for the long time or there is any other movement on it . But being new in this app maybe exploring and reading updates would be the thing we must do especially me..😁that still being curious of using it ..

My workplace I wanted to share my more than 8 years in service in my work place. I am working at a Lending company which our clients is a pensioners and mostly are senior citizen. Serving them is greatful and sometimes you can learn from them and also talking to them you can feel and you can know their life issue. Sometimes you will feel unhappy because their are some childrens who didn't look back to their parents and also did not treasure them. Sometimes as they can share their problems to us and can give them some advices you can feel that you where just like a family. By the way i am started working there in the year 2013. Company is just good enough especially treating their employees and the compensation they give. Also they very much treasure their clients well. They had many promos and many activities to help their clients. Specially every December they some giveaways give to our clients . It is in form of a pack of grocery items and with umbrella sometimes tshirt .Also a raffle promo . It is to make them happy. Seeing their smile makes you feel happy and overwhelmed . Hopefully there will more years to this company .

XRP XRP price surges 55% to a 3-year high amid push for financial inclusivity A new cross-border payments acquisition and a renewed push to increase global financial inclusivity triggered a 55% rally in XRP price. **57491** **433** 2:55 **MARKETS NEWS** The price of XRP saw a 55% breakout over the past two days as the sixth-ranked cryptocurrency by market capitalization has renewed its focus on the creation of a cross-border payment network that is inclusive and sustainable.  https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index Data from Cointelegraph Markets and TradingView shows that XRP dropped to a low of $0.566 in the early hours on April 4 before a wave of trading volume helped lift its price to a high of $0.877 within the last few hours. https://cointelegraph.com/markets https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/XRPUSD/ *XRP/USDT 4-hour chart. Source:* *TradingView* https://www.tradingview.com/x/SwJLUUz7/ The uptick in trading volume was sparked after Ripple posted a blog titled “Creating a More Financially Inclusive and Sustainable Future” that discussed how the project has partnered with “mission-driven financial technology companies, leading universities, NGOs, foundations and social entrepreneurs to create greater economic fairness and opportunity for all.” A second wave of buying took place on April 5 after Ripple posted the following announcement detailing its most recent acquisition designed to enhance its cross-border payment capabilities: https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=cointelegraph&dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfX0%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1379088958395670531&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcointelegraph.com%2Fnews%2Fxrp-price-surges-55-to-a-3-year-high-amid-push-for-financial-inclusivity&sessionId=2e10668605ef85ad7a4d9f4bf59b1aced95fe3d9&siteScreenName=cointelegraph&theme=light&widgetsVersion=1ead0c7%3A1617660954974&width=550px Combined, these recent announcements have led to a 257% increase in XRP trading volume over the past two days, from an average 24-hour volume of $5 billion on April 4 to $18.4 billion traded on April 5. While this rally caught many traders by surprise, VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for XRP on March 31, prior to the recent price rise. https://pro.cointelegraph.com/?via=markets The VORTECS™ Score, exclusive to Cointelegraph, is an algorithmic comparison of historic and current market conditions derived from a combination of data points including market sentiment, trading volume, recent price movements and Twitter activity. *VORTECS™ Score (green) vs. XRP price. Source:* *Cointelegraph Markets Pro* https://pro.cointelegraph.com/?via=markets As seen in the chart above, the VORTECS™ Score for XRP climbed into the green and registered a high of 67 on March 31, roughly four days before the price began to spike. The VORTECS™ Score also rose significantly alongside the price increase on April 5, reaching a high of 84 at the time of writing. Previous backtesting of the VORTECS™ system indicates that based on its rising score, the price of XRP may still have further upside to go, as trading and Twitter volumes continue to show significant increases. https://cointelegraph.com/news/markets-pro-delivers-up-to-1-497-roi-as-quant-style-crypto-analysis-arrives-for-every-investor The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Cointelegraph.

Cryptocurrency Cryptocurrency Market Hits $2 Trillion, Doubling in Just 3 Months Bitcoin alone is currently worth $1.1 trillion as it nears a return to $60,000 per coin.

The Effect Of Social Media On Human Behavior Posted on June 25, 2017by M Acevedo https://www.newinfluencers.com/the-effect-of-social-media-on-human-behavior/ https://www.newinfluencers.com/author/admin/ The human species is so diverse despite our similar appearance. Unlike other species in this planet with sub-species that look so different from one another, humans almost look alike except for a variety in skin color and some features that determine our regional ancestry. Meanwhile, our cultural diversity also explains the difference on human behavior. However, human behavior changes the more we dabble with technology especially with social media. Aside from the fact that most people in the world today use the Internet in their daily lives, social networks are also a popular hub to connect and communicate with the world at large. After all, we are a product of the environment. Relationships, shopping choices, good humor, and even study habits are now affected by social media. These social networks initially started to support existing social relations we already have but as the years go by, other social media platforms were developed that encouraged people to meet and befriend complete strangers aside from the ones where they already have existing offline relationships with. http://www.dotcomma.org/ *People adopt unique personas for different social networking sites such as Facebook or LinkedIn, a team of researchers, including an Indian-origin researcher, have found.* “Users tend to portray themselves differently in these different worlds,” said Dongwon Lee, associate professor at *Pennsylvania* *State* *University in the US.* *Researchers theorised that these different personas stem from a desire to fit within the distinctive culture or etiquette of each site.* For instance, a photo of someone’s colorful drink may be popular on Instagram, but the same image post to LinkedIn would be frowned upon. “The users tend to portray themselves differently in these different worlds,” Mr Lee explained. (Via: http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/on-facebook-or-linkedin-youre-likely-to-adopt-unique-online-persona-for-each-social-networking-site-1682143) Human behavior is so flexible it enables people to adapt to different circumstances with ease but at times this trait does more harm than good. When people change who they are to fit in to what society dictates they should be, that’s when things start to become a cause of concern. *The challenge is that most of the work on social interaction has been conducted using “real world,” face-to-face social networks, in contrast to the types of online relationships that are increasingly common. So, while we know that old-fashioned social interaction is healthy, what about social interaction that is completely mediated through an electronic screen? When you wake up in the morning and tap on that little blue icon, what impact does it have on you?* *Prior research has shown that the use of social media may detract from face-to-face relationships, reduce investment in meaningful activities, increase sedentary behavior by encouraging more screen time, lead to internet addiction, and erode self-esteem through unfavorable social comparison. Self-comparison can be a strong influence on human behavior, and because people tend to display the most positive aspects of their lives on social media, it is possible for an individual to believe that their own life compares negatively to what they see presented by others. But some skeptics have wondered if perhaps people with lower well-being are more likely to use social media, rather than social media causing lower well-being. Moreover, other studies have found that social media use has a positive impact on well-being through increased social support and reinforcement of real world relationships.* (Via: https://hbr.org/2017/04/a-new-more-rigorous-study-confirms-the-more-you-use-facebook-the-worse-you-feel) A lot has changed since technology took over the world. Back then, not everyone had access to these sophisticated gadgets because they are far too expensive and only the rich can afford it. But with the mass production of these things, even the masses can now afford to buy one without spending a fortune. And it’s not that impossible anymore to get these gadgets fixed once they get broken. https://www.facebook.com/Hard-Drive-Recovery-Associates-1696632910656851/ Human behavior also changed along with the rise of the Internet and social media. People are always on their smartphones or gadgets checking on their social media accounts that they often mistake virtual reality for real life. Moreover, people usually only show the good side of their lives to the public but in reality, life is not a bed of roses. There are difficulties and challenges that come our way but we often bottle it up, to give others the perception that our life is perfect. In that way, social media affects human behavior negatively. The key here is to use it in moderation knowing how many people often lose themselves when using it. Even too much of a good thing can still be bad for you.

You keep forgiving someone until you unlove them. I gave you so many chances and forgave you too many times until I just couldn’t any more. I wanted to believe- I tried to believe- and I still ended up getting hurt. When you pour yourself into someone you love, you always have faith that they’re doing their best not to hurt you. I was so wrong about you, sadly. Even though I had to walk away and save what was left of my self respect, I must thank you for opening my eyes to some difficult truths. It’s so hard to know when to keep forgiving and when you’ve had enough, but I recognized the moment I stopped caring. Your actions didn’t hurt me anymore and my heart just became numb. I got hurt so much and so often by you, my walls grew so high, the feelings weren’t able to get past them anymore. I’m walking away knowing that I did my best and loved you with all that I had, but that wasn’t enough.. Truthfully, I don’t know if anyone will be able to ever love you the way you need until you face your demons. It was my fault for trying to fix you and keep forgiving you when I shouldn’t have, but it was your fault for continuing to break my heart, little by little. I truly hope you find what you’re looking for and happiness is on your horizon, because I know now what I don’t want in my next relationship. I demand and deserve the respect, loyalty and love that I give..no less. The memories still sting a little, but not like they used to, and one day soon, they won’t bother me at all. I’m healing, growing and rising again. I can finally look forward to my future again instead of holding my breath waiting for the next disaster. At long last, like I should have decided long ago, I’m free to live, love and chase my dreams. Thank you for being the lessons I needed to learn along the way. You helped make me what I couldn’t have become without the fire of struggle. Brave, strong and free. |ravenwolf

Visa Reveals Bitcoin And Crypto Banking Roadmap Amid Race To Reach Network Of 70 Million Visa V, a one-time enemy of the bitcoin and cryptocurrency community, is fast becoming one of bitcoin’s biggest cheerleaders. https://www.forbes.com/companies/visa After partnering with 35 various bitcoin and cryptocurrency platforms in recent years, the credit card company has announced it plans to help banks roll out bitcoin and cryptocurrency buying and trading services with a Visa crypto software program, set to launch later this year. First Boulevard, a Kansas-based, Black-focused digital bank, will pilot the APIs, designed to help Visa bank clients integrate bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and crypto custodian Anchorage, last month becoming the first U.S. national “digital asset bank” after it was granted approval for a national trust charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), will hold the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on behalf of Visa’s clients. It’s understood banks will be able to allow their users to withdraw and self-custody their bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Visa rival PayPal PYPL, which sparked the latest bitcoin price bull run when it announced plans to allow its 346 million users to buy and spend bitcoin and a handful of other major cryptocurrencies in October, attracted criticism for preventing people from moving their cryptocurrencies off its platform. https://www.forbes.com/companies/paypal https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2020/10/23/paypal-just-gave-346-million-people-a-new-way-to-buy-bitcoin-but-theres-a-nasty-catch/?sh=257780ae2b61 Subscribe|Sign In Feb 3, 2021,07:00am EST|72,550 views Visa Reveals Bitcoin And Crypto Banking Roadmap Amid Race To Reach Network Of 70 Million **Billy Bambrough**Contributor https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/ Crypto & Blockchain https://www.forbes.com/crypto-blockchain I write about how bitcoin, crypto and blockchain can change the world.

Speaking on the company’s fiscal first-quarter 2021 earnings call, Kelly described bitcoin as “digital gold” and said cryptocurrencies are “not used as a form of payment in a significant way at this point.” “Our strategy here is to work with wallets and exchanges to enable users to purchase these currencies using their Visa credentials or to cash out onto our Visa credential to make a fiat purchase at any of the 70 million merchants where Visa is accepted globally,” Kelly said, according to a transcript of the call, pointing to digital currency platforms and wallets Crypto.com, BlockFi, Fold and BitPanda that have issued Visa cards. https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/01/28/visa-v-q1-2021-earnings-call-transcript/ The recent bitcoin price boom has catapulted bitcoin and cryptocurrencies back to the forefront of global consciousness, helped by a return of paid-for celebrity crypto endorsements from the likes of actress Lindsay Lohan. https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2021/01/13/lindsay-lohan-records-video-predicting-100000-bitcoin-and-10000-ethereum-is-2017s-celebrity-crypto-mania-back/ Earlier this week, Elon Musk, the billionaire chief executive of electric car-maker Tesla TSLA, made headlines when he said bitcoin is on “the verge” of breaking into traditional finance. https://www.forbes.com/companies/tesla https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2021/02/01/elon-musk-bitcoin-on-the-verge-of-broad-acceptance/?sh=20c331cf52c7 Get the best of Forbes to your inbox with the latest insights from experts across the globe. https://account.forbes.com/?utm_source=amp-article

Do you think that children these days have a better or worse childhood than your generation? Why? I’ve thought about this a lot as recall thinking back when I was about 12 that each year to be born after mine was better. So the status quo growing up that things got better makes the situation of today rather counter intuitive. I’m at the tail end of the boomers and being born just a few years later was better because you then had sesame street, color TV, the big wheel, banana seat bikes, much better cartoons and shows. So this difference wasn’t huge but meant better to be born in 1968 vs 1961. Later still came far better shows, ones that maybe even showed you how to become bit more socially proficient-wow! But this wasn’t really till the early 90’s. A BIG difference especially for girls was getting to wear pants to school- this starting in 1970. Finally I could be warm and comfortable and play outside more freely. I’m not sure when business casual stopped as far as school dress so you could wear sneakers but I think It was around 1978. By around ’90 , The programming for kids has gotten even better but that difference isn’t worth the further trade off of economic, career stress in families, less adult attention. And by the late 90’s those babies where already getting over structured, way too much homework and were more likely to have spent more hours in a day care. Then by around 2000 or so copious busy work gobs of homework and play time not being valued was apparent. Also some bizarre more recent thing where kids just don’t go out and play and even tots are glued to a little screen-bizarre. All the texting, some is great but way to much little screen time- that just can’t be good. The TV and movies though has gotten better ’n better. And the internet is a game changer of course but while helpful for teens its not quite as valuable for a 4 year old. While tech is neat, I’m not a techie and don’t value tech for techs sake. This seems like a minor point to make here but mention it as there seems some confusion. While tech is ultimately a game changer and perhaps a force the only things that make big difference are things that make a real profound difference in what you are engaged in- so yeah the internet theres one thing but a faster phone that is not a thing. A higher resolution TV-not a thing. There’s not been a holodeck or a flying car or androids or medicine that keeps you young and healthy. Only When these momentous inventions come out some of the trade off (if any) in childhood which is precious worth it -maybe..- So putting it all together I vote for being born sometime between 1968 and 1977 ( the later nice as you get out of college at nice time to get a job. And if I had to pick a year, I’d choose around 1974. Most important things: Play, adult emotional nurturing, mental stimulation that helps social and intellectual development.

Beyond the Classroom: The importance of friendship for success in school There are several variables that influence academic achievement. Some are the parents’ level of education (college educated parents tend to be better equipped to help children with academic concepts), the amount of reading materials in the home (the existence of books, magazines and newspapers is often a sign that learning is important), gender (girls tend to do better on reading and writing, while boys perform better on more analytical subjects), presence of positive role models (positive adult role models can help pave the path to achievement by setting standards and expectations) and valuing education (students who see and believe that education is a means to achieve something higher tend to do better in school). A close, positive friendship is another important influential factor. An article in the Wall Street Journal, “Wanted: A Best Friend,” brought to mind this fascinating concept — one that many educators (myself included) and parents alike often overlook: the relevance of close friendships and how they relate to a child’s success in school. FRIEND TIME https://5846d4270659e935e9197906ff48abb7.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html?n=0 It isn’t easy making a best friend these days. A number of obstacles can get in the way as kid tries to cultivate strong friendship bonds — aka, a best friend. Gone are the days of running around the neighborhood with your best buddies until dinnertime. Nearly gone are the tree house hangouts and the baring of souls at slumber parties. There is too much homework and too many electronic alternatives. There is the beckon of pervasive social networks and the changing dynamics of the modern family. And then there is the changing of suburbia itself. Although the majority of kids tend to meet their best friend at school, school dynamics and cultures are changing. Toward middle and high school, cliques are typically broken up to prevent or combat bullying and classrooms are often shuffled for size and ability. Lunch time is shorter, as is the time between classes. Many kids have their afternoons packed with programmed activities. According to Fred Frankel, author of “Friends Forever,” daily extracurriculars tend to drain friendships. Although some extracurricular activities allow kids to find companions with common interests, he says that daily after school programming cannot replace the benefits of spending one-on-one time with a best friend. https://5846d4270659e935e9197906ff48abb7.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html?n=0 Social networking, online gaming and texting can help maintain close friendships when close friends are apart, but overall, typical online friendships create mostly superficial friendships. Millie Ferrer and Anne Fugate in their University of Florida article “The Importance of Friendship for School-Age Children” say close friends are vital to school-age children’s healthy development. Research shows that children who lack friends can suffer emotionally later in life. Friendships are not just playmates — they help children learn social skills, such as how to communicate, cooperate and solve problems. They practice controlling their emotions and responding to the emotions of others. They develop the ability to think through and negotiate different situations that arise in their relationships. FRIENDS AND ACADEMICS Having a good friend affects a child’s school performance, too. Children tend to have better attitudes about school and learning when they have their good friends there. https://5846d4270659e935e9197906ff48abb7.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html?n=0 Teachers notice the subtle impact of friendships — good students tend to hang out with good students. Grades matter, projects and assignments are always done and achievement is a common thread. The carefree students hang out with other carefree students. Being cool and popular is most important. In this group, doing well in school can even be ridiculed. So at the beginning of every school year, when I give my “welcome to real world: middle school” talk to my sixth graders, I make it a point to emphasize to them that the friends they chose this year may determine the academic path they take in the years to come. So choose wisely...” WHAT PARENTS CAN DO TO HELP THEIR CHILD MAKE FRIENDS Children are not born with social skills. Parents need to help prepare them to interact successfully with peers. A parent’s love, acceptance and respect for their child help him/her develop the basic trust and self-confidence necessary to go out and develop bonds with others. https://5846d4270659e935e9197906ff48abb7.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html?n=0 Parents are role models who, by their own behavior, can teach children how to meet people and talk to them, to cooperate with others and to ask for favors. Parents can teach how to win or lose well, to apologize and accept apologies and how to be patient, respectful, and considerate. Parents can help their child learn how to be the type of person others like to be around. Ferrer and Fugate provide some things you can do to promote long lasting friendships for your child: **▪ Provide your child with opportunities to spend time with other children.** Invite other children to your house to play or let your child participate in clubs, classes or teams. For older kids, make your home inviting so that your child wants to invite friends over, respect their privacy and provide them with guidelines that will allow them to talk/text with their friends. **▪ Help your child learn games and sports.** Being able to play games and sports tends to be important for school-age children. It is easier to join in and have fun if they know the rules and have the basic skills to become a participant. Make sure not to let the sport become a drill or drudgery.

Time is the precious gift.

Can somebody teach me how to earn here..?

Being a starter earner of BCH or cryptocurrency. I once an innocent if how BCH and other cryptocurrency operated and be use as earnings and how can it help to us.. As one of those who are searching for an earning site, I saw people earning BCH,BTC,etc. I've been confuse. I saw one post in a group in earning site I decided to ask how and he/she replied and explained ,he/she thought me the noise.cash earning site. She/he said everything that needed to do on how to earn and I first ask if it is legit,and she/he said that "Yes" ,so I decided to try.. Last January 2021 I started to try the site and earn the BCH cryptocurrency I've been surprised that only for a minute it automatically posted in my BCH address and account and for a day/s been surprised for the amount I been earn,so I continue using it. Honestly at first I didn't believe and said that it is just like those other site that said that it is legit but no payment or earnings return to you.. You strive too much but no in return. But this is one is very legit and even low it is a big help as an extra income .. Until now I've been using this earning type.

"How to stand life without nothing." I'm a person came from a family which has nothing in life but as years past but we manage to go on with our lives with positive thoughts and trust with god. I am born in a poor family. We are a complete happy family even if my aunt's did not like my mom for their brother,my father but they had nothing to do. My father work hard just for us even if he has a low income in his job. A few years past god got him from us..in his death,and in is burial his family decided to seperate me and my siblings but my mom did not agreed for the reason that it is not a good idea. She work hard for us just to raise us,molded us into a good person. she sent us school even if her income is just enough for our daily needs. Life is harder for us,my father family did not even try to help us. One day ,they talked to us & said if we want their help but my mom did not accept their help for some reason. As many years goes by..we tend to survive and fulfill what our mom wants to us. We finish studies without the help of others or the help of my father's family . They saw the effort and strive of my mom until we graduated and had job.. They had nothing to say.and now they are open to us ,they are not just the same as the previous .. As they judge us and underestimate us ,we think and it serve us our inspiration to reach our desire in life,and reach our goal. Now ,we our successful. And continue with our life..Its been different from our life before but we still continue our lives being complete ,happy and contented even if still their are people being judgemental and maybe they jealous of what we had now..

Strong friendship doesn't need daily conversation..

Being an employee is not easy ..you need to know who you're bosses are and people behind in it..sometimes owner of a company are a good co-leader or had value their employee but below of them which they pointed as manager or in higher rank is the one who makes those staff's feel the job uncomfortable .treating staff not in good terms ,pushes staff's to create a not good relations to them..it is not a healthy or we'll groom company ..stress and pressure to staff are one they create..

Being a new member of this site. Hopefully can manage and can gain more ideas on how it operated and how to gain here ..
