There are going to be times when your dog is ill and would need to be put on some sort of medication whether it's in tablet form or other. Knowing how to administer medication safely to a pet makes life a lot easier for everyone concerned including your doggy. Getting a pet to take any sort of medicine can be not only challenging but stressful too, so it's important to make the whole process as painless and pleasant as possible for both you and your pet.
Many dog owners find it a lot easier to give their pets medicine which is in liquid form. However, it still takes a lot of patience because you have to get it right. You need to be firm but gentle as you attempt to get your dog to hold still, to swallow the right amount of the liquid and do this without causing them or you any stress.
Below are a few tips on how to give your pet their liquid medication which should help make the experience a whole lot earlier:
Liquid medication is often given to dogs for many reasons and to treat various conditions. Vets will usually give owners liquid medication when owners have trouble getting their pets to take tablets
You should always follow the directions closely and complete the course without fail even if you think your dog has recovered. If you don't finish the course, your pet might fall ill again
The majority of liquid medication usually comes with a syringe or a dropper so it can easily be administered to a dog. It also ensures the right dose is given each time
You would need to hold your pet's head very still with one hand and then gently insert the end of the dropper/syringe into the corner of their mouths making sure it's between their cheek and their teeth whilst aiming the tip to the back of your pet's head
Avoid tilting your dog's head backwards as this may just cause them to inhale the medicine into their lungs – something which has to be avoided at all costs
Gently squeeze the dropper or push the plunger down if it's a syringe until your dog has swallowed the right amount of medicine
It's important to gently yet firmly hold your pet's mouth closed whilst stroking their throats to encourage them to swallow the medicine
Once you dog has swallowed the medicine, you need to give them a favourite treat – making sure it's a healthy one as a big reward for having taken their medicine
You may need to give your dog a tablet, whether it's a wormer or medication and the best way of doing this safely without causing too much stress to your pet is to do the following:
Gently hold your dog's muzzle, tip their heads back so their noses are pointing towards the ceiling
With your free hand, open their mouths by gently pulling down the lower jaw so you can place the tablet at the back of their tongues ready to be swallowed being careful your pet doesn't close their mouths on your fingers!
You then need to close your dog's mouth before massaging their throats to encourage them to swallow the tablet
You have to make sure they have indeed swallowed the tablet because dogs can be clever and hold it in their mouths so that as soon as you look away they can spit it out again
Another way to get your dog to swallow a tablet is to hide it in a small piece of their favourite food but again you have to make sure they don't eat the treat and spit out the tablet
If you have to put any ear drop in your pet's ears to clear up an infection or to get rid of mites, you first have to make sure there are no sores or scratches in their ears because the alcohol will sting and this could make it hard to use ear drops in the future because your pet will remember the pain. You must read the instructions on how many drops to put in each ear and then do the following:
Hold your dog's head closely to you and tilt it away from you before gently folding the top part of their ears on the top of their heads so you can clearly see inside your pet's ears
Squeeze the amount of drops into your pet's ears as directed on the instructions and then pull the top part of their ear back over and gently rub it so the liquid drops go down the canal
Hold your dog's head for a minute or two to prevent them from shaking it which could result in the drop being sprayed around the room
Make sure your dog is sitting down having given them the command to do so. If you have someone to help you all the better, but if you don't then do the following:
Gently but firmly hold your dog's and tilt it so they are looking up at the ceiling
With one hand roll back your pet's upper eyelid being extremely careful when you do so
With your other hand carefully put in the required amount of drops into your pet's eyes, making sure you follow the instructions to the letter
If you find your dog will not cooperate you may need to talk to your vet but if you have a helper you should be able to manage it between the two of you with one person holding your pet's head whilst the other person puts the drops in their eyes.
If you find that your dog keeps struggling when you try to give them any sort of oral medication there are certain things you can do to make the whole process a lot easier. If you are by yourself and own a largish dog, you may need to stand behind them and ask your pet to sit back up against your legs and then attempt to give the medicine. For smaller dogs that tend to wriggle, you can wrap them in a towel making sure you don't do so too tightly and then hold them close to your body to give them their medication.
The thing to bear in mind is if a dog starts to struggle, you should stop and wait for them to calm down. There is no point trying to do anything with your pet when they are too agitated. Once they are calm, you can try again but if it just proves too hard, you may need to seek advice from your vet.

The forecast is calling for up to 25 millimetres of rain this afternoon and overnight for the area.
Operations Supervisor Mike Phillips says Mcphee Bay, Annie Mayhew, Maika, Lower Craigmont Roads, Riverside Drive, White Pine Crescent, Ohio, Tamarack, Blackfish Bay, Pinecliff, Bleski roads, parts of Kartuzy Road and waterfront properties in the village of Barry’s Bay are areas the township is most concerned with rising waters.
Other areas as Dam Lake and Long Lake roads may also be at risk.
Concerns regarding the capacity of Bark Lake have been brought forward by the MNRF and the township says it’s in constant contact with Ontario Power Generation regarding the flow from the dam site.
Residents may contact the Operations Manager, Hilary Kutchkoskie at (613) 633-6164 and firstname.lastname@example.org or Operations Supervisor, Mike Phillips at (613) 639-5313 and email@example.com.

INTERACTION:The goal of the forum is to reduce the negative effects and damage caused to cross-strait relations by President Tsai Ing-wen, the KMT’s Alex Tsai said
Date: Nov 03, 2016
By: Alison Hsiao / Staff reporter
The Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) annual forum with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began
yesterday in Beijing and a new panel — the political panel — was created to “explore possibilities for cross-strait political talks,” KMT Vice Chairman Steve Chan (詹啟賢) said.
At the opening ceremony, Chan said the forum has taken place since 2006 and during those years “the KMT had been in opposition, became the ruling party [in 2008] and has now again become the opposition.”
“Looking back on the 10-year history of the forum, we see that the resolutions made in the past have been adopted by the governments in each side of the Taiwan Strait and turned into policies that greatly benefited the people,” he said.
Chan said that government officials of both sides had participated in the forum over the past eight years to discuss possible policies, which was “a rare page in history.” [FULL STORY]

In my work covering John Strickland’s books on Christendom, where he covers 2000 years of Christian history, both East and West, he has used the word Symphony to described the intended governance method of the East. The idea is that the emperor will rule as a proper Christian emperor, guided by the bishops.
Jonathan Pageau, in explaining the symbolism of the double-headed eagle, has offered his take on this governance model. He is asked, what is the symbolism of the double-headed eagle, especially as it relates to empire:
I have talked about this on the symbolism of the left and the right hand. It has something to do with authority and power; it has something to do with the two keys of St. Peter, of, let’s say, the Church and the state. You can understand it that way.
The Church as spiritual authority without physical power and the state as temporal power, physical power, whose authority isn’t in itself – it has to come from the other side. So, you can understand it as this mode of reality of spiritual authority and temporal power. At least that’s the way I understand that.
And those two are joined in Christ in a way in His icon. You actually see this manifested in the icon of Christ Himself, as the blessing hand: as Christ blesses, He manifests this direct authority. And usually in His left hand He has a book, this indirect or secondary aspect. So, you have direct language, then you have written language – which is like law or a materialized authority.
That’s the relationship between the spiritual and the temporal, and that’s the relationship between Church and state in the Byzantine understanding and later in the Holy Roman Empire in general. You see this symbol in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire and all sorts of other places.
As I have noted elsewhere and often, the relationship of Church to emperor in the West was not the same as the relationship of Church to Emperor in the East. The former cannot be described as a state, while the latter more easily fits the description.
What I have read elsewhere: this symbol has been used in many places both east and west, Christian and Muslim – and Hittite before any of this. In Byzantium, it does appear to signify the Church and the state under one crown:
The two heads and two sceptres of the eagle symbolize the two authorities, the Church and the State under one Crown, the Christian Empire - one Empire under God. The co-existence of the Church and State in "Symphonia", a period of peaceful co-existence and co-operation, where the Emperor made into laws the decisions of the Church Synods (especially those of the Ecumenical Councils), while the Church authorities respected the laws of the State.
Another source explains it so:
The double-headed eagle is the most recognizable symbol of Orthodoxy today (other than the cross) and was the official state symbol of the late Byzantine Empire, symbolising the unity between the Byzantine Orthodox Church and State, which was governed by the principle of Symphonia or Synallelia, that is, a "symphony" between the civil and the ecclesiastical functions of Christian society.
This source continues to offer that the two heads also meant to cover east and west: Constantinople and Rome. Although, certainly by the time it appeared in the eleventh century in the east, this could only have been wishful thinking.
One author questions why it is so strongly associated with the Byzantine Empire at all, given its widespread use dating even thousands of years earlier.
Another author offers a similar interpretation as does Pageau – albeit, applicable to many cultures, not just Byzantine and not just Christian. The symbol represents physical power with one head, and spiritual power with the other. He states it may be used differently today, but historically it symbolized the representative of God on earth.
It is used in Scottish Rite Masonry, and is used on Russia’s coat of arm. What it meant or means elsewhere is secondary to this post. As Pageau offered toward the end of his statement, this is his understanding in the Byzantine context – which is also the context for the idea of Symphony raised by Strickland.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words….

Looking to revamp your room walls? Putting up an attractive and durable wallpaper may be what you need.
That said, coating the wall with paint may not always lend the desired look and appeal. On the other hand, wallpaper can accentuate the room with different colors, textures, and effects while bringing all the decor together.
Moreover, they are easy to work with yet provide a professional and sophisticated finish. And the best part is that there are plenty of options available in various price ranges to suit the needs of different homeowners.
On that note, the first step is to go through the different types of wallpaper on the market right now and select the best one suited to your needs. And to help you out with that, we’ve compiled this simplified guide to some spectacular options. We’ve also included some essentials and a few handy tips and tricks to install them effectively.
So, let’s get started!
Types of Wallpaper
1. Border Wallpaper
First off, let’s talk about an interesting way to accentuate a lighter wall color while keeping its original appeal intact.
Border wallpapers allow you to add a dash of color and design to the wall without taking up the whole space. Furthermore, they are available in a variety of sizes and designs to suit the needs of different spaces. While thinner borders blend easily into a room, the more ornate and wider ones are designed to catch the eye.
Moreover, using border wallpaper can be an excellent option for hiding imperfections near the top portion of the wall. But because it doesn’t cover the entire room, you will have to get a paint job or separate wallpaper job done on the remaining spaces before installing border wallpaper.
In an age where time is generally a constraint, it’s not surprising that quick-fix wallpapers have emerged as popular decor items worldwide. On that note, murals may be the instant upgrade you need to amp up the home interiors.
Large enough to cover an entire wall, murals can be put up in a few minutes and add an exciting appeal to any room with their vibrant styles. They generally depict massive landscapes or design patterns and are available in various colors.
Nowadays, you’ll even find several murals enhanced with interesting graphics that can transform the vibe of the room altogether. So, home decor enthusiasts won’t have any dearth of options while making a choice.
Moreover, stick-on murals can be removed quickly and with minimal effort. That said, you won’t have to face any complications while replacing it whenever your room needs a color or theme change.
3. Flock Wallpaper
Want to add elegant decorative highlights to a space with a luxurious design? In that case, a flock wallpaper will be a great pick.
Equipped with a fuzzy velvety or suede-like texture, these wallpapers are printed over a paper base. Altogether, the design creates a fascinating three-dimensional effect that all homeowners and guests would love.
In case you wish to create a smooth finish on the wallpaper, you can first try vacuuming out the loose particles on its surface before installing it. Thereafter, handle it with extra care during the installation as its front surface might get stained quickly.
Due to the delicate nature of flock wallpapers, decorators must also prepare the wall accordingly. That said, newer wallpapers can be washed easily with the help of a moist cloth; be careful not to scrub the surface.
But keep in mind that such a luxurious look comes at a much higher price than many other options.
4. Vinyl Grasscloth
Up next are vinyl grasscloth wallpapers, a minimalistic yet charming design that’s a favorite of interior decorators across the country. It’s machine-made to mimic the fine texture of natural grasscloth, another popular choice that we’ll be discussing later in the article.
Interestingly, such wallpaper is just as intriguing as the three-dimensional ones but is available at a much lower price.
Supporting the elegant vinyl texture is a tough fabric backing that’s built to last for years, and you can even paint some varieties to suit your room decor. In fact, opting for the latter will allow you to change the look of the wall whenever you feel like it.
You’ll also find these wallpapers in lots of different colors and textures. Plus, the seams are hardly noticeable, and their durability and washability make them convenient and low-maintenance choices.
And that’s not all; these wallpapers come in strips that you can easily install, remove, and repair if needed.
5. Embossed Wallpaper
To break the monotony of barren walls in a room, you can use embossed wallpapers to add more contrast and depth.
Notably, these wallpapers consist of designs pressed onto paper backings that create a textured and raised effect. While some varieties come with delicate and soft fabric-inspired designs, others showcase more pronounced and dramatic imprints. So, you’ve plenty to choose from based on the preferred look.
Additionally, embossed wallpapers can be used to conceal common imperfections on the walls, like scratches, cracks, and roughness.
As for their applicability, they are easy to install and versatile. However, many prefer to create a natural palette of colors, like cream, taupe, and stone, with embossed wallpaper materials.
6. Wood Wallpaper
If you’re a fan of everything rustic and wish to bring a slice of nature indoors, putting up wood wallpaper will be a budget-friendly alternative to buying real wood.
But keep in mind that such wallpapers are relatively hard to find and consist of wood veneer that is prone to scratching. As an added tip, you can also look for exquisite wood-like patina polishing effects that come in natural wood colors. And it’s a great pick for people who are allergic to wood but like its look and appeal on the walls.
Furthermore, it enhances the harmony of the space, bringing in the warmth and coziness ideal for a relaxing oasis.
7. Vinyl Wallpaper
Counted among the most sought-after wallpaper varieties, vinyl wallpapers come with a protective vinyl coating on top and are backed by a paper-made layer.
As long as you’re using similar wallpaper, you can rest assured that it won’t fade quickly, even when placed in rooms with bright lights. Additionally, the material is incredibly durable, making it more expensive than other options.
Speaking of the ease of installation, you can hang these wallpapers and remove them with minimal effort. So, no need to hire a professional if you plan to go for this variety.
Another great benefit you can expect is that you can tackle all stains effortlessly as the material is easily washable. That said, vinyl wallpapers are an ideal choice for kitchen spaces and your little one’s room.
8. Mylar Wallpaper
Mylar wallpapers are, in effect, high-quality paper rolls that come printed with decorative designs and are covered with a polyester film to enable easy washability.
Such a film lends a characteristic wet and shiny look to a wall that receives minimal sunlight. As such, mylar wallpapers are generally utilized in kitchens and bathrooms. You may also use them for spaces where the curtains and windows remain closed most of the time.
But before you install them, ensure that the wallpaper is devoid of any creases and the wall itself is smooth. That way, both the pasting and the removal will be effortless and devoid of any complications.
Another point of caution is that such wallpapers aren’t the best option for worn-out walls as they tend to highlight imperfections. Hence, we recommend using a liner wallpaper before pasting the mylar wallpaper.
9. Paper Wallpaper
As evident from the name, this variety is basically a textured paper cover for the wall. Available in different shades, designs, and patterns, it’s one of the most inexpensive wallpaper options on the market.
Though several other varieties, such as vinyl, have overtaken paper wallpaper in terms of popularity, many homeowners still use it for supplementary decor needs. In fact, if you have a good sense of style and an eye for the right colors and patterns, you’ll be able to zero in on some exciting choices within the range.
Even the installation is beginner-friendly, and you can apply DIY techniques in enhancing the overall look. However, the durability of such wallpapers remains its sticking point, and many users have reported that they aren’t as long-lasting as other closely-related varieties.
10. Fabric Wallpaper
Regarded as one of the more luxurious wallpapers, these are crafted with textiles or are sometimes laminated onto regular wallpapers. Also, they’re quite a challenging material to work with as you’ll need to stretch them during the installation. But by being more careful and a few hands on deck, you may be able to prevent creases or warts.
An interesting aspect about such wallpapers is that they reflect a sense of well-being and, at the same time, lend a gorgeous look to any space. Notably, such wallpapers are made from silk, cotton, felt, raffia, linens, twines, or feathers.
As you may already know, these fabrics offer breathability, fire resistance, stain resistance, and insulation. But then, this is another option on the pricier side, so we’d suggest weighing it against a few others before making a final decision.
11. Natural Grass-Cloth Wallpaper
As you might’ve guessed from the name, the beauty of this wallpaper lies in the layer of natural grass or vines that form the surface. Homeowners who prefer to go the natural way when it comes to decor will love this style.
First off, a high-quality paper backing designed to last for the years to come supports the grass layer. However, these wallpapers are quite delicate to handle as the grass is stuck onto the backing using glue.
So, make sure you take extra care while pasting and installing it; otherwise, the top surface may get stained by the wallpaper paste.
At the same time, this versatile wallpaper is an excellent addition to any part of your home, be it the bedroom, dining space, or living room. On a side note, these wallpapers aren’t washable, which is why using them in the kitchen or a kid’s room won’t be an ideal decision.
If you choose to prioritize convenience over other factors, tiles are undoubtedly a wonderful choice. Firstly, you won’t have to handle long strips of paper or take help from professionals to install them on the walls.
All you need to do is peel the back cover and paste them onto the wall, and the job will be done. Also, these tiles come in much smaller sizes, which is why single-handedly completing the work won’t be a problem.
Nevertheless, fresh tiles lend a fresh and clean look to the room with their bright and beautiful designs. Moreover, you may either choose to install them throughout a room or around some corners or cupboards in attractive patterns.
13. Self-Adhesive Wallpaper
Also called a peel-and-stick wallpaper, this is another easy-to-use option that blends wonderfully with all decor styles. The best part is that it does away with the need to handle wallpaper paste or glue.
Just peel off the back cover and paste the exposed sticky surface on the wall to give your room an all-new look. Replacing the wallpaper with a similar one is also pretty simple.
Nevertheless, these wallpaper are more of a massive sticker for the wall and are best for those who love experimenting with different design ideas. Just be careful and ensure there are no bumps or creases on the wall surface, as these wallpapers look their best on smooth and well-painted walls.
14. Paintable Wallpaper
Have you thought of creating artwork on the wall while keeping it unscathed? Then you should definitely consider getting paintable wallpaper for your room.
You can paint these in any color; the single most significant advantage is that you are free to try out different patterns and rectify errors. But keep in mind that the paints you’re using should match the texture of the wallpaper. Plus, you’ll need to consider the type of paint finish that’ll be suitable for the one you’ve bought. Note that many prefer to go for glossy or matte paints in this regard.
Indeed, a well-loved feature of paintable wallpapers is that they come in gorgeous textures that beautifully complement any space.
15. Metallic Wallpaper
Sometimes, a bit of shimmer in a select few spots around the room can be enough to elevate its look considerably. And that’s where metallic wallpapers come into the picture. They can help add an elegant twist to homes and office spaces alike, which, in turn, can lend a richness to the room decor.
After you put these wallpapers in place, the part will seem as though it has been painted by an expert. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Speaking of the positioning of such wallpapers, that will depend upon the overall room design. For instance, you may opt for an accent wall, whereby a metallic strip will draw attention to that part of the room. And if you wish to create a massive design impact, you may install it on all the walls.
16. Strippable Wallpaper
Our next pick, strippable wallpaper, has emerged as a popular style nowadays as it’s available in a range of exciting colors and patterns.
To remove or replace such varieties, you’ll have to take them off in strips, unlike removable wallpapers that can be detached from the wall at once. And although removing these will take more time, you can also use harsh chemicals and specialized tools for easier removal.
Alternatively, you may use a wallpaper stripper as that can speed up the removal. But we’d advise you to keep your little ones and pets away as these chemicals might release harmful fumes.
17. Textured Wallpapers
The best part about textured wallpapers is that they can add character to the wall and enhance the visual interest of your room decor considerably. Note that these are available in a range of intricate designs suited for homes and workspaces.
Anyone walking inside a room will be quickly drawn to a textured wallpaper, which generally has a distinct visual appeal. Moreover, it’s a highly versatile choice to go for and can conceal several imperfections in the wall effortlessly.
On that note, damaged or walls that have not been primed before application won’t be such a problem. Indeed, the textured surface prevents visitors from noticing divots, dents, or bumps in the wall when you have such wallpaper in place.
And to top it all, it makes for a very budget-friendly alternative for those looking to improve the appearance of their home without having to hire a professional.
18. Repositionable Wallpaper
When it comes to installing wallpapers, nobody can rule out pasting errors altogether. And in the event of such an error, it will be a loss as the wallpaper will be ruined if you try to strip it off.
But you won’t have to worry about this at all if you choose to go for repositionable wallpaper. You can move such wallpaper quickly for various purposes. These include covering any damage on the wall, matching it with another design strip, or ensuring it fits perfectly around the door. Moreover, installing such varieties is pretty easy, making the process manageable even without extra help.
19. Vintage Wallpaper
If a sophisticated look is what you’re yearning for, then look no further than a vintage wallpaper.
Available in a range of stylish designs, these wallpapers can add a luxurious and charming feel to any decor setting. Depending upon your needs, you may choose to create an accent wall or install it throughout the house for a large-scale facelift.
While purchasing a vintage wallpaper, we’d suggest you to lay equal importance on the paper quality and the need for installation. Additionally, some of these wallpapers come in a wide selection of colors and patterns inspired by art styles from different decades. For those who wish to design a dream interior space, such variants will fit the bill perfectly.
20. Moisture Resistant
With a moisture resistant wallpaper in place, you can steer clear of potential damage due to water or liquid stains. That’s why such wallpapers are best suited for bathrooms and kitchen spaces. Interestingly, they even come in fascinating designs that can go well with a variety of decor styles, so these parts of your home won’t look dull either.
But it’s essential to take into account the quality of paper backing used, especially when you’re installing them in the bathroom that generally stays damp. Such wallpapers are also generally heavy-duty in nature, so they don’t peel off even after getting wet and can also help prevent the growth of bacteria and mold.
In comparison, other types of wallpapers may peel off quite quickly during damp weather.
21. Printed Wallpaper
Available in an array of patterns and colors, printed wallpapers are cost-effective and visually appealing options when it comes to decorating homes. They are simply high-quality paper sheets printed using water-based printing inks.
Also, note that you can choose either a manually or digitally-printed wallpaper based on personal preferences. But remember that the latter variety can tear or get damaged easily compared to hand-printed options.
22. Solid Sheet Vinyl Wallpaper
Created on a pure vinyl backing, these wallpapers come with beautiful prints and have an embossed texture that provides them with a more luxurious feel.
Another major feature that makes them stand out from other options is their excellent durability. These are thicker than many other types and are generally scrubbable, so you can maintain and clean them quite pretty easily too.
Furthermore, such wallpapers are relatively easier to peel off, and only some backing might be left on the wall. You can also remove it easily with water and soap, while a wallpaper removal solution might be needed in certain cases.
23. Washable Wallpaper
Whether it’s your living room or your little one’s playroom, going for a washable option will always be safer and much more convenient. After all, it can facilitate effortless removal of any accidental stain or pencil drawing on the walls. Just a bit of soapy water and a sponge will be needed to scrub the stains off the wall.
That said, you shouldn’t use any rough cleaners while washing these wallpapers. Another point to note is that wallpapers tend to become dirty, especially if they remain pasted for years together. Hence, regular maintenance can help provide a fresh and clean look to your walls.
24. Free Match
Patterns are among the most essential design elements of a wallpaper. As such, matching them correctly is often fundamental to setting up many wallpapers efficiently.
Based on the match type of the patterns, wallpapers can be divided into three categories, viz. free match, straight match, and drop match. Among these, the free match variant is the most easy to install as it comes with free flowing patterns.
To elaborate further, the patterns will project an equally symmetrical look devoid of any seams or joints irrespective of the way you place the wallpaper. Interestingly, these wallpapers result in minimal wastage and you won’t need to carry out any lengthy and meticulous cutting work.
At the same time, it’s best to flip the wallpaper before pasting it, as that will help ensure there’s no color variation in it.
25. Drop Match
A drop match wallpaper is recognized by almost regularly repeating patterns and is often referred to as an offset match wallpaper. Note that the patterns are lined up both vertically and horizontally starting from the top of the ceiling line to lend a clean and fresh look to the interiors.
At the same time, such an arrangement of patterns makes placing the wallpaper more challenging than ones with free flowing patterns and simple designs. Hence, some amount of planning will be needed before you can put it up smoothly.
If this style sounds intriguing to you and you feel like going ahead with it, know that it requires making a consistent dual alignment. Or in other words, the wallpaper has to be aligned both vertically and horizontally. Thus, you’ll have to halve the pattern repeats, and that will generate a great deal of waste. And at the end of this procedure, you’ll be done with the basic pattern matches.
For example, if a pattern repeats at every 200 cm, the point at which two such wallpapers match from right to left is positioned at every 100 cm. Here’s a tip you can use to track the pattern order— number the wallpapers using a thin pencil and you’ll find it easier to hang them smoothly.
26. Straight Match
If you get a wallpaper with a straight matching pattern, that indicates all stripes and patterns will line up and match in the same way across the whole wallpaper.
After you bring it home, make sure to have a look at the wallpaper to understand the lining up of the patterns. The good news is that you won’t have to worry about making errors as the repetitions are quite evident.
First off, the straight-across match starts at your ceiling line, hence the design should align with that of the strips on either side. It may take a while to get the wallpaper read to be pasted, but they aren’t very intricate patterns. Just make sure you understand the pattern repeats as that would affect the manner of hanging the wallpaper and the number of rolls you’ll need.
27. Pre-Pasted Wallpaper
Next, we’ll talk about another option that’s relatively simpler to put up, though it might create a somewhat messy situation at times.
To get a pre-pasted wallpaper ready, you must cut it to the dimensions and size required for the room. Plus, make sure to leave a few inches on the sides to cover up for any errors. Follow this by filling up a container with water so that you can dip the wallpaper inside to prepare it for pasting. Notably, water works as a stimulant to make the back of the wallpaper sticky.
But you must be careful with the method and avoid leaving it in the basket for too long, as that might cause the adhesive to wash off. Just wet the wallpaper for a few seconds— that’ll be enough to make the backside sticky.
Finally, you’ll just need to wipe the excess water rolled up the wallpaper to stick it to the wall without further problems.
28. Non-Pasted Wallpaper
Unpasted wallpapers, as they’re also called, have lost their popularity to some extent with the emergence of new and improved prepasted wallpapers on the market.
These come in the form of beautifully printed sheets of paper that you need to cut and stick onto the wall using some wallpaper glue. By opting for such a wallpaper, you can add an artistic appeal to a living room or any other recreational space.
To put up such a wallpaper, you’ll have to mark the wall beforehand and take proper measurements of the area to be covered. That way, you’ll be able to ensure a correct fit.
Thereafter, apply the paste or glue using a roller or a brush and rest it for a few minutes by folding it in half as this will allow the glue to soak in properly. And complete the process by sliding the wallpaper into place and smoothening it gently with the hand to make sure there are no creases or bubbles in it.
29. Liner Wallpaper
If you’re looking for an option to hide imperfections on the wall, a liner wallpaper would be an ideal fit as it’s specifically designed for such purposes.
Made with paper or fiberglass, these wallpapers are more popularly called lining paper on the market. A significant advantage of such an option is that it will allow you to cover the walls without having to engage in extensive repair work.
Moreover, liner wallpapers are easy to remove and install and can also be painted to complement the test of the room decor.
30. Foil Wallpaper
These wallpapers use thin polished metallic foil as the base material, which gives them a shiny, dramatic feel that blends well with most decor settings. Plus, they come in a variety of designs printed on the foil surface, which can add visual interest to the room, thereby lending a comforting vibe.
You can even choose between a plain shade and different metallic finishes such as silver, copper, and gold based on the existing decor of your room.
But a downside is that most foil wallpapers possess high reflectivity that may reveal the wall imperfections easily. That’s why you must make sure the wall is smoothened and primed before it’s covered with the foil.
31. Vinyl-Coated Fabric Wallpaper
People who prefer to infuse a natural texture and feel into the walls rather than adding striking and colorful designs will definitely love this wallpaper option. It’s actually a large piece of fabric coated with liquid vinyl and has decorative patterns printed on the surface.
Note that the use of vinyl enhances the durability of the wallpaper. So, it’s likely to last much longer than the delicate wallpaper options we’ve dealt with in our guide. This property also makes it suitable for office spaces and commercial set-ups.
Interestingly, such a texture can add character and depth to any room, so there are no limitations to using it in your home. That said, it’s regarded as one of the more breathable wallpaper options, which is why it’s a great choice for low-moisture rooms such as living areas.
32. Non-Woven Wallpaper
All homeowners may not want to go for vinyl wallpapers as they aren’t a healthy option in the long term.
In such cases, the non-woven ones can be a good alternative. Moreover, they’re quite easy and hassle-free to put up on any wall as they come with a pre-applied adhesive.
Speaking of the materials used, non-woven varieties are made with a combination of natural and synthetic fibers that are safer for your health. They also offer great breathability, so rest assured they won’t trap moisture that may cause mold growth.
Additionally, the unique composition of this wallpaper keeps its paper backing dimensionally stable even while it’s wet. That’s why you can wash it without worrying about the effects.
33. Roll Wallpaper
Getting wallpaper rolls is yet another convenient choice.
In fact, wallpaper rolls are currently one of the most popular options for decorating both workspaces and homes. Note that getting them in rolls makes it relatively simpler to cut down the wallpapers as per the wall measurements.
That said, cutting huge strips can seem a bit difficult if you’re looking to match their sides evenly. This is the reason why homeowners seek help from professionals to get it installed more quickly and precisely for the larger rooms.
After all, you won’t want the wallpaper that you just purchased to end up with asymmetrical corners. And cutting the strips as per the wall length would also help you avoid any kind of wastage.
34. Vinyl-Coated Wallpaper
If durability is a primary lookout for you, make sure to search for vinyl-coated wallpapers as they are composed of tough materials that won’t give in easily. Supported by a strong paper backing, these wallpapers come with a second decorative layer that’s coated or sprayed with polyvinyl chloride(PVC) or acrylic type vinyl.
While this top covering protects the wallpaper from any major damage, it also shields the surface from heavy moisture and grease. As such, vinyl-coated wallpapers can prove to be a useful addition to kitchens or bathrooms.
You can also clean such varieties by scrubbing them gently, which makes them suitable for any part of the home. But do keep in mind that they are strippable wallpapers, hence it will take longer to remove them completely.
35. Commercial Wallpaper
Own a commercial space and think you need to give it a facelift? You’ll have to focus on some essential details covering the decoration of formal arenas. But first off, make sure that you’re opting for high-quality wallpapers so that you can avoid changing the wallpapers frequently when they don’t match the workstation.
Ideally, it should be easy to clean and shouldn’t peel off from the corners within a couple of months. Keep in mind that the wallpaper will influence the overall look of the space and will reflect how a customer will perceive the business. Notably, most commercial-grade wallpapers have strong fabric backings and are coated with vinyl to provide superior durability.
36. Bamboo Wallpaper
Intriguing as it might sound, a bamboo wallpaper is indeed handcrafted by applying real bamboo vines or reeds onto a paper surface backed by glue. As such, it’s a spectacular alternative for people who love to add a rustic appeal to their home design and are admirers of eco-friendly design elements.
What’s more, a bamboo wallpaper creates an eye-catching paneling look after it’s installed on a wall and even adds a relaxing vibe to the surroundings.
You also get to choose between different styles and colors based on your decor needs. Interestingly, some wallpapers are made using the outer layer of the bamboo stalk, while others are obtained by processing the internal parts of the stem. You even get another variant that’s made by combining bamboo with canes.
But here’s a point of caution— such a wall-covering is easily affected by a heavy moisture content in the air and is also not washable. That’s why it’s unsuitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and other spaces with a more moist environment and where it might come in contact with staining materials.
37. Hand-Screened Wallpaper
Thinking of experimenting with an out-of-the-box wallpaper in your room? Then a hand-screened variety is definitely among the most exciting options you’ll come across.
First off, the process that goes into its creation is just as interesting as the outcome. Each color is applied using a separate handmade and hand-placed silkscreen. As the water-based color pours onto the back of the screen, it’s forced into the portions where the mesh allows ink to run down to the paper.
Ultimately, the paper gets a stunning design with a unique three-dimensional look that can provide a sense of individuality to any room. Another point worth noting is that the wallpaper gets a sophisticated handcrafted look as it’s created through a manual process.
38. Liquid Wallpaper
Liquid wallpaper actually refers to a decorative emulsion or powder that you’ll need to mix with water to apply on a wall. If you’re accustomed to using paint rollers or sprayers, this wallpaper is a quite convenient option to go for. After all, it does away with the need to match the patterns or designs on either side of the wall as with most wallpaper varieties.
Note that these are available in lots of different textures that can add variety to the room decor. Additionally, you may choose to modify their color by mixing them with other special paints.
39. Wood Chip Wallpaper
Another interesting wallpaper option to go for is one that uses wood chips for decoration. Though not many homeowners opt for this variety nowadays, it can actually be a smart addition to any room.
Notably, these wallpapers consist of wood chips inserted within a dual layer of high-quality paper, and can help hide small defects in ceilings and walls. But keep in mind that some wood chip wallpapers use hazardous materials such as asbestos. So, you’ll need to take proper safety precautions while installing them.
40. Cork Wallpaper
Highly popular in the yesteryears, cork wallpapers are still preferred by many homeowners owing to their distinct sophisticated appeal. You can also get these wallpapers in a variety of colors, designs, and textures that can beautifully complement most decor settings.
Furthermore, this variety is a 100% natural alternative as it’s made using the cork oak bark, a sustainable source offering great weather resistance. Long story short, these aesthetically pleasing wallpapers exude a warm and comfortable vibe that nature lovers will want to go for.
41. Textile Wallpaper
Towards the end, here’s another less-talked-about wallpaper option that can be traced back to centuries and has an elegance of its own.
Textile wallpapers are actually non-woven wall coverings that consist of two thin layers, viz. a fabric layer, and a high-quality backing. Notably, the fabrics used can range from silk or velvet to linen or cotton, so all homeowners can find a suitable choice as per their needs and preferences.
We hope you enjoyed exploring the different wallpaper options out there, just as we enjoyed compiling this guide.
As you can see, the options range from elegant and minimalistic wallpapers that exude a sophisticated appeal to vibrant and colorful varieties that can brighten up any space. So, make sure to consider your needs and preferences to figure out a suitable variety for your home or workplace.
And if you’re looking to deck up not one but many rooms, we’d strongly suggest using different designs or shades as the diversity enhances the visual interest in a home. Anyhow, you should also consider your budget and the existing decor style beforehand to make the best choice.
On that note, we’ll wrap things up for now. But we’ll be back soon with more interesting guides on interior design, so keep an eye on this space for more!

Oana D Gavrila
Based in United Kingdom
Oana Diana Gavrila, a London-based artist, discovered painting in her late 30’s and, without any formal training, managed to find her own inimitable style by creating unique figurative art.
It all started a couple of years ago, when after a struggle with depression, she picked up the pencil and painting brush at the recommendation of her doctor and started sketching family and friends.
Oana is predominately an abstract figurative artist who incorporates strong graphic elements in her work. Her expressive mixed media works combine oil, acrylics, gold leaf, paint markers and paper all applied in an equally diverse manner using brushes, fingers, paint rollers and paper to create expressive and striking imagery.
Her unique style can be recognised from the combination of natural flowing lines with harsh diagonals, clean crisp areas of colour with layered messy paint and cut out paper. The finished works are a mix of modern and almost futuristic look, whilst still managing to retain a raw traditional aesthetic. She is influenced and inspired by diverse sources including; Fashion, Pop Art, Street Art , Cubism, Art Nouveau, Modernism and Constructivism, all pulled together to create stylised works.
“Art enables us find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." Thomas Merton
Being a self-taught artist can be challenging, but at the same time very rewarding and I love every step of this new journey. Art can save anyone, and it definitely saved me!

College sports betting on New Jersey schools and events that take place in the state will be up for a vote in the Garden State in November, but according to a recent poll, voters might not pass it.
The latest results from the Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll released Thursday show that voters oppose constitutional amendment that would allow for legal sports betting in New Jersey on local teams by a surprising 2 to 1 margin, with only 25% saying that they favor the change to the state constitution.
How Survey Breaks Down
Younger voters, those without a college degree and Republicans are the most likely to support the measure.
“Many voters still aren’t sure where they stand on the matter,” said Dan Cassino, a professor of government and politics at FDU and the Executive Director of the poll, in a news release. “But supporters are going to need to change a lot of minds if they want to get this passed.”
One-quarter of registered voters (25%) said that betting on college sports should be allowed, with half (49%) saying that it should continue to be banned. The remainder (26%) said they weren’t sure or didn’t want to answer the question.
While New Jersey casinos have been allowed to offer wagers on professional and collegiate sports since 2018, current law prohibits betting on any contest involving a New Jersey school, or any college sports event taking place in New Jersey.
In late June, a lopsided majority of the state Assembly voted to put the question on the ballot in November; it had previously passed the state Senate 36 to 1.
Initially, college sports had been excluded from the sports betting law because of concerns about match-fixing: as student-athletes aren’t paid, it was thought that they might be more susceptible to bribes.
However, in the wake of a Supreme Court decision and NCAA rules changes allowing student-athletes to be paid regarding individual name, likeness and image, this might be less of a concern.
Those most likely to be supporters of the change were Republicans (32% compared to 18% support among Democrats), men (36%) and the youngest voters: 36% of voters under 35 support it, compared with just 11% of seniors.
However, in a normal off-year election, like the one happening in November, older and more educated voters are disproportionately likely to turn out, increasing the difficulty of passing the constitutional amendment. Only 22% of voters with a college degree say that they support the measure.
“This change might have had a better chance in a higher turnout year,” Cassino said. “But among the voters who tend to turn out the most, there’s just no appetite for expanding gaming yet again.”
The survey was conducted between June 9-16, using a certified list of registered voters in New Jersey. Voters were randomly chosen from the list and contacted in one of two ways.
Three-quarters of the respondents (608) received an invitation through SMS (text) to fill out the survey online, via a provided link. The other quarter of respondents (195) were contacted via telephone, using the same registered voter list.
The survey, conducted by Braun Research, Inc, in Princeton, covers 803 registered voters in New Jersey, ages 18 and older, and was conducted entirely in English. Of the interviews, 123 were conducted over landlines, the remainder via cell phones.
State Could Benefit From College Sports Betting
New Jersey has numerous college teams and regularly hosts tournament events.
The state is home to eight NCAA Division I men’s and women’s programs: Rutgers, Seton Hall, Saint Peter’s, Rider, Fairleigh Dickinson, Monmouth, NJIT and Princeton. Monmouth, Princeton and Rutgers have football teams.
College football betting in New Jersey has been a success, with several sportsbooks operating in the state.
The NCAA selected the Prudential Center in Newark to host the 2025 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, as college basketball betting in NJ continues to grow in popularity as well.
If voters decide to amend the state’s constitution and allow betting on in-state wagering, New Jersey’s sports betting market will continue to grow and flourish. The state is regularly at the top of sports betting handle charts. In 2020, New Jersey recorded the highest handle of any state, taking in $15.2 billion in wagers.

San Diego State Might Tap Taxpayer Funds To Expand Into Mission Valley
San Diego State University officials unveiled their $3 billion vision for the Mission Valley stadium site last November.
The concept included a sports stadium, housing, commercial and office space, along with a proposal for a river park.
John Kratzer of JMI Realty said the school asked him to design a regional asset with a campus environment that develops the site through a transparent process.
It also had to meet one other standard.
“No reliance on tax dollars,” Kratzer said. “One of the very first things that Sally challenged me with is the fact that this plan has to be financeable on a stand-alone basis with no reliance on tax dollars.”
RELATED: SDSU Unveils Campus Expansion Plan For Mission Valley
Sally is Sally Roush, San Diego State University’s president.
“There will be no reliance on taxpayer funds or university funds is what we typically refer to them as,” Roush said to reporters asking pointed questions about public funding.
“The only bond financing we anticipate would be the stadium, which will be revenue bonds issued and those revenue bonds will be covered by revenue generated by the stadium,” Roush said.
But despite those public assurances, the initiative that allows the city to sell 133 acres of city property to San Diego State does not carry a prohibition on public funding.
The 14-page measure does prohibit the creation of any new or additional taxes to pay for the sale and it prohibits the use of city general fund money to build the River Park, but it does not stop developers from tapping already existing local or state public funds that might be designated for, say, building a park.
“If we can get them, why shouldn’t we get them? They’re there for park purposes,” said Steve Doyle, a prominent member of the SDSU West steering committee. He is helping pitch the sale of land to San Diego State in front of local planning boards.
RELATED: SDSU West Backers Press Public For More Signatures
Doyle makes some distinctions in what is and is not public money.
“It’s considered public money, but is it taxpayer money?” Doyle asked.
“When a developer pays a fee into a fund, into an account, that account has a project schedule for what it’s going to do. And one of those things that it’s going to do is build a park in Mission Valley. Developer money comes in and it sits in that account until there’s enough money in that account to build that park. So, if they’re already collecting dollars for that park, why wouldn’t they access those dollars which came in from developer fees to build a park? It didn’t come from taxpayers. It came from developers,” Doyle said.
Doyle, meanwhile, was one of four co-authors of a local newspaper editorial last fall urging the public to back the SDSU West Initiative.
Malin Burnham, Kim Kilkenny and Jack McGrory joined Doyle in saying to the newspaper’s readers that:
“This initiative would authorize the sale of the existing stadium site to SDSU at fair market value. This unlocks tremendous potential for 133 acres in Mission Valley and an opportunity to create a plan that would require zero city funds.”

The San Diego Union-Tribune, Oct. 13, 2017
Q: And you’re okay with hearing the president of the university say, we’re not going to use any public money on this project?
Q: You don’t feel uncomfortable that some people might look at that and say but money from a city account, money from a state fund?
A: I am not uncomfortable with that.
Q: And you don’t think it’s inaccurate?
A: I don’t think its inaccurate.
Q: And you feel okay going to the voters and saying look, we’re not going to use taxpayer dollars?
A: That’s correct.
Q: Even though you may use taxpayer dollars?
A: Even though there may be taxpayer dollars coming from a state bond initiative, yes. We’re not going to raise your taxes. Those bond monies are already there.
Not everyone shares Doyle’s perspective on the public monies.
“I think the common sense definition that anyone would agree to is once it goes into the government coffers, the revenue goes into the government coffers from where ever it’s from is taxpayer money,” said Richard Rider, the chairman of San Diego Tax Fighters.
The group is concerned about taxes at the state and local level and calls itself a pro-taxpayer advocacy group.
“The idea that they’re not drawing from the general fund is ... subterfuge. It's dishonest because they’re by omission indicating they’re not using taxpayer dollars,” Rider said.
The tax critic argued that it does not matter whether dollars come from a developer, a special fund, a taxpayer-approved bond, or some other public account. Rider considers money from all those sources taxpayer dollars.
“If you’re spending taxpayer money, be honest, say so,” Rider said.
The SDSU West Initiative has not yet qualified for the ballot.
RELATED: SoccerCity Backers Blast SDSU West Plan For Mission Valley Development
Friends of SDSU submitted more than 100,000 petition signatures in a bid to get just over 71,000 valid signatures. Word is expected soon from the Registrar of Voters.
If there are enough valid signatures, the measure can be taken to the council which will likely put the initiative to sell the property to San Diego State on the November ballot.
If the measure reaches the ballot it will compete with a rival development plan that hopes to leverage Mission Valley redevelopment to lure a Major League Soccer franchise to San Diego.
The SoccerCity proposal has already qualified for the ballot.

The enzymes present in the saliva of the larvae can quickly degrade one of the most used plastics in the world, which opens a way to fight against this form of contamination, according to a study published on Tuesday.
Of the 400 million tons of plastics produced each year according to OECD estimates, about a third are polyethylene. Derived from petrochemical products, simple and cheap to manufacture, they are used especially for packaging.
The UN, which qualifies plastic pollution as a global scourge, recently began negotiations for the development of an international treaty to reduce this phenomenon.
The fact that certain enzymes can attack plastic materials has already been documented, but over long periods of time.
However, according to the work of a team of Spanish researchers, published in Nature Communications, two enzymes present in the saliva of wax moth larvae (galleria mellonella) attack polyethylene in just a few hours at room temperature.
Federica Bertocchini, from the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Studies in Madrid, the main author of the study and an amateur beekeeper, explained that she had the idea for this research by cleaning beehives stored for the winter and whose wax combs had been colonized by these larvae.
After cleaning the hives, he put the larvae in a plastic bag and soon discovered that it was “full of holes”.
“The question was, do they (the larvae) eat it or is there a chemical process? We checked in the lab and found that the polyethylene had oxidized,” she told AFP.
Not quite on point
Many additional studies and experiments will be needed to fully understand the process before considering a concrete application of the discovery, the researchers say.
But Federica Bertocchini is already imagining different avenues of use against plastic pollution.
“The enzymes could be integrated into a liquid solution and poured onto plastic at the recycling center,” or used in isolated places where collection or recycling is difficult, or even eventually in individual households to degrade their own waste.

Nissan Motor Co has received approval from China to sell its electric vehicle Leaf there, and is prepared to export the model from Japan, Kimiyasu Nakamura, president of Nissan’s China joint venture, told reporters on Tuesday.
“The Leaf does not hit the Chinese market’s sweet spot now, in terms of price, but that will change as unit sales grow,” Nakamura said, adding that a long-term goal would be manufacturing the Leaf in China. No sales date has been set.
Nissan, which also plans to launch a lower-priced electric vehicle designed for the Chinese market, is targeting annual sales in China of 2.3 million units in 2015, up from 1.3 million last year.
China is Nissan’s largest market, where it has a 6.2 percent share, more than domestic rival Toyota Motor.

I’m hoping to have about 10g saved by this time next year, which I know is nothing huge but seeing as I’m at 2.5g right now and owned 3 dollars to my name on Aug.9 I’m pretty happy with my progress :). But at my age, without a stable career, while working part time and having to go to school full time, what is a realistic path I could pursue to create passive income online, or even income that requires effort such as writing, but one that is more flexible than working in a stationary low-paid position for 10 dollars an hour? I need to work for now to show taxable income for the government to get my residency, but after that I know my time could be better served than earning 8 dollars an hour, I’m just not sure where to go from here. I considered flipping domain names, or penny stocks, or sports gambling, but again that’s not passive income and in reality they are more or less just forms of me gambling.
In 2011, the Indian government concluded that most spending fails to reach its intended recipients, as the large and inefficient bureaucracy consumes budgets. India's absence rates are among the worst in the world; one study found that 25% of public sector teachers and 40% of government-owned public-sector medical workers could not be found at the workplace. Similarly, there are many issues facing Indian scientists, with demands for transparency, a meritocratic system, and an overhaul of the bureaucratic agencies that oversee science and technology.
Poverty rates in India's poorest states are three to four times higher than those in the more advanced states. While India's average annual per capita income was $1,410 in 2011 – placing it among the poorest of the world's middle-income countries – it was just $436 in Uttar Pradesh (which has more people than Brazil) and only $294 in Bihar, one of India's poorest states.
Lending Club is a platform where you can lend your money to other people. You’re the bank. Each note is only $25, so you can invest $1,000 and lend money to 40 people. There are many grades of loan (from safest to riskiest) and investors earn, on average, between 5% and 7% annualized returns. For more information, check out Investing and Making Money with Lending Club Peer-to-Peer Lending and my real money Lending Club Portfolio.
P.S. I also fail to understand your fascination with real estate. Granted we’ve had some impressive spikes along the way, especially with once in a life time bubble we just went through. But over the long term (see Case Shiller real estate chart for last 100 years ) real estate tends to just track inflation. Why would you sacrifice stock market returns for a vehicle that historically hasn’t shown a real return?
When I purchase an existing online business, I look for cash flow over the past year and where the money comes from. I want the sources to be more passive so that it does not take a lot of my time. Also, typically I will make an offer that is 18 – 24 months of profit so that I know that I will get my money back within the next two years. I hope that helps!
I see you include rental income, e-book sales and P2P loans as part of your passive income. Do you not consider your other internet income as passive? Is that why it’s not in the chart? Or did you not include it because you would rather not reveal it at this point? (I apologize if this question was already answered – I didn’t read through all the comments, and it’s been about a week since I actually read this post via Feedly on my phone)
Has this thought ever struck you mind as what if your boss fired you overnight, what your course of action would be? I guess the answer is NOTHING! You have no monthly pay checks coming in, how are you going to put roof above your family’s head? How are you going to manage the bills payment? What would you feed to your family? An answer to all this lies in darkness…complete darkness in that situation. But I have answer to this question, because I am my own boss managing multiple things and earning from all of them at a time, losing one would not be that big deal to me.
Once I started blogging and connecting with other bloggers in the personal finance space, I saw how much potential was out there. And honestly, how much money some bloggers were making really shocked me. I distinctly remember one blogger telling me his website was making $30,000 per month….and this was 2009! To say this blew my mind is an understatement of epic proportions.
Having discussed why it is important to have a second source of Income, let me now highlight some of the sources of a second income or second income ideas. A second source of Income typically means having regular income from a source other than your primary one. This means, if you belong to a salaried class, you might want an income from some other source and if you are from a business class, you might want an income from some other business. You can be as creative as it gets. Some good sources of Income are highlighted below:
Think about it. If you are saving for retirement, you are trying to save enough in investing to generate enough income to replace your primary salary. Let’s take my friend’s example above: $50,000 a year. To generate $50,000, you would need to have almost $1,700,000 saved, and be able to generate a 3% cash flow on that money (which is reasonable if invested in dividend paying stocks).
If you need cash flow, and the dividend doesn’t meet your needs, sell a little appreciated stock. (or keep a CD ladder rolling and leave your stock alone). At the risk of repeating myself, whether you take cash out of your portfolio in the form of “rent”, dividend, interest, cap gain, laddered CD…., etc. The arithmetic doesn’t change. You are still taking cash out of your portfolio. I’m just pointing out that we shouldn’t let the tail wag the dog. IOW, the primary goal is to grow the long term value of your portfolio, after tax. Period. All other goals are secondary.
In order to build an audience, you need to have a platform. You need to have something worth following and sharing; something that’s valuable to others. And that, of course, takes time. That’s not to say you can’t build a huge audience in a short amount of time. But as much as we hear about the people who’ve succeeding at doing this, we don’t hear about the millions of others who are struggling every day to get just a few more fans and followers.

Besides ebay you can create your own e-commerce website without any hassles. Recently Shopify set shop in India.

While some people tend to use a savings account at the same bank where they have their checking account, make sure it's a high-interest one, not just a convenient one. "For short-term savings that you have parked in a savings account for easy access, you can often make more money just by researching whether you're getting the best interest rate," Goudreau says. "While many traditional banks offer as little as 0.1% interest on savings, online banks tend to offer higher interest rates. By switching to an account that offers 1% interest or more, you would be making 10 times as much just by moving the money."
Buy a small business: A local small business, like a car wash or a laundromat, is a great way to put money down on a money-making venture. Automate it so you don't have to be on the premises unless you're collecting money. Go into a local business with your eyes wide open - study the books, especially on income and expenses, and examine water and utility bills if your venture will be open 24 hours.
Active income is needed because you know you can always push away to bring in steady income. Passive income is needed to bring in a little extra on the side. You must ensure to never put all your eggs in one basket. When generating multiple streams of income, you must have different sources to rely on – because in the end, nothing is 100% reliable.
I first discovered the power of passive income when I was a senior in high school. I started a mobile billboard business where I would rent a small piece of land from someone who had land along a busy highway. Then I would place one of my billboard trailers on the land and rent out the ad space on the billboard. I would usually charge about $300 per month for the ad space, meanwhile I was only paying $50 per month to the landowner for the ground rent. I got to the point to where I had 9 billboard faces and was making quite a substantial income for someone in high school. I really learned how passive income could free up my life… this business is what lead me into investing in real estate.
P2P lending started in San Francisco with Lending Club in mid-2000. The idea of peer-to-peer lending is to disintermediate banks and help denied borrowers get loans at potentially lower rates compared to the rates of larger financial institutions. What was once a very nascent industry has now grown into a multi-billion dollar business with full regulation.
I am still working on my passive income, however I like multiple income streams even more. My favorite is capital gains because it is one of the lowest rates. One of the best passive income streams is a pension/Social Security. As I near retirement, I like the concept of it supporting my needs and my 401k supporting my wants. In addition, my brokerage accounts are all at capital gains rates. Don’t misunderstand, I am still working on adding more because I like multiple income streams!
Mining contributed $63 billion (3% of GDP) and employed 20.14 million people (5% of the workforce) in 2016. India's mining industry was the fourth-largest producer of minerals in the world by volume, and eighth-largest producer by value in 2009. In 2013, it mined and processed 89 minerals, of which four were fuel, three were atomic energy minerals, and 80 non-fuel. The government-owned public sector accounted for 68% of mineral production by volume in 2011–12.
India has an underground economy, with a 2006 report alleging that India topped the worldwide list for black money with almost $1,456 billion stashed in Swiss banks. This would amount to 13 times the country's total external debt. These allegations have been denied by the Swiss Banking Association. James Nason, the Head of International Communications for the Swiss Banking Association, suggested "The (black money) figures were rapidly picked up in the Indian media and in Indian opposition circles, and circulated as gospel truth. However, this story was a complete fabrication. The Swiss Bankers Association never published such a report. Anyone claiming to have such figures (for India) should be forced to identify their source and explain the methodology used to produce them." A recent step taken by Prime Minister Modi, on 8 November 2016, involved the demonetization of all 500 and 1000 rupee bank notes (replaced by new 500 and 2000 rupee notes) in order to return black money into the economy.
You are also free to choose a fund that is based on any index that you want. For example, there are index funds set up for just about every market sector there is — energy, precious metals, banking, emerging markets — you name it. All you have to do is decide that you want to participate, then contribute money and sit back and relax. Your stock portfolio will then be on automatic pilot.
Several donors are active in Ethiopia, with external aid of $3.7 billion in 2015. Both the government and the majority of international partners are keen to deepen the harmonization process in the spirit of the Paris Declaration (2005) and Accra Agenda for Action (2008). Ethiopia is a pilot country for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Assistance Committee harmonization agenda, and for the European Union’s initiative on donor division of labor. Partners are currently considering how to build on this progress in light of the Accra Agenda.

One of the most confounding musicians ever to grace the rock genre, Frank Zappa had a penchant for taking what essentially amounted to full-blown avant garde compositions and arranging them for rock ensemble playing. His bizarre, conceptual live performances were an astonishing mix of exceptional musicianship, onstage theatrics and pop culture satire. On May 16, 1988 Zappa showcased some of the standout live tracks from various eras of his development by releasing a career-spanning double live album titled 'You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol 1.'
Frank Zappa is often regarded as one of the most brilliant, idiosyncratic musicians in rock music. But, looking back at his eclectic, monstrous body of work as a composer, guitarist, vocalist, and bandleader, Zappa really wasn't a "rock" musician. That fact is cemented on 'Lumpy Gravy,' Zappa's first official solo album, which was released 45 years ago today (May 13, 1968).
The Zappa Family Trust, headed by Frank Zappa's widow Gail, has announced that select titles from the massive Zappa catalog will be finding their way to vinyl this summer. In June, Zappa's Barking Pumpkin label will put out editions of 1973's 'Over-Nite Sensation' and the 1966 classic 'Freak Out!,' joining the recently released 'Finer Moments,' a collection of live material from the early-'70s.
From the mocking cover art to the orchestral notes that grace the music to the loose thematic ties that link the songs, the Mothers of Invention’s ‘We’re Only in It for the Money’ turns ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ on its head. But it’s not so much the Beatles’ masterpiece -- which was released nine months before the Mothers album -- that Frank Zappa and his band of musical pranksters ruthlessly skewer; it’s the culture that fed and supported it.
Frank Zappa was so eccentric, maybe it was easy for fans to believe strange things about the musician. One of the Top 10 Gruesome Classic Rock Legends says that Zappa once won a gross-out contest on stage (some say with Alice Cooper) after his opponent defecated on stage -- after which Zappa ate the result. Another v
Ray Collins, the singer and co-founder of the Mothers of Invention, died on Monday (Dec. 24) in Pomona, Calif. He had been hospitalized since Dec. 18 after suffering a massive heart attack, and was removed from life support on Saturday. He was 76 years old.
Frank Zappa's live shows, much like his studio albums, were regarded as much for their irreverent playfulness as their technical virtuosity: They were wildly unpredictable, genre-hopping musical sideshows that united freaks and misfits of all varieties. But on Dec. 10, 1971, that chaotic unpredictability turned ugly, when disgruntled fan Trevor Charles Howell pushed Zappa off the stage at London's Rainbow Theatre, inflicting multiple injuries upon the versatile guitarist/composer, ultimately leaving him bound to a wheelchair.
