This isn't work, I get paid to enjoy myself

 Remind me to start labeling what these dishes are.

 

My Semi Autonomous Defense Systems

 I have received numerous emails about installations but sadly I'm in the states but I will be back overseas soon enough where I'll pick up where I left off. (I have researched and searched again to implement all the newest technology, I don't watch TV) *And these pics are Not it!

 How does it work? Shrink a Mobile Command Center down to less than 30 pounds, teach two drones to pull a trigger and stand back.

Do you wish to have a successful blog or website

 From what I can ascertain my visitors wish to view things from a different perspective, they also wish to learn life and tech techniques that create a stronger sense of being.
 I supplied the avenue yet I owe it to hungry minds for all the rest.
*Now if I could get them to afford one of my services LOL

***I'll answer your question here:
 Blogs don't really generate much cash flow unless they're associated with a viable and tangible product. My real source of income comes from my associated website > Niko's Toy Box

        Thanks

Talking about fake or exaggerated news

 I'm sitting at an American airport watching the news on hurricane Florence, chuckles. In several shots I see dry ground all around the reporters but where do they stand? In the water LOL
 Now... Is this for my benefit to get a better feel of what's transpiring or simply to make a more dramatic impact? And where reporters couldn't stand in the water, let's create some digital imagery to create a scenario where viewers can go "OMG"
 You may have a cool, level headed approach to life yet it seems "the powers that be" don't want you there.

SEO & Backlinking / Google Analytics & Adsense

 I can't share as much as I'd like to, this is one of the ways I supplement my income. But I will share this, it would be advisable to attend a seminar, take an online class or follow some sort of structured learning class.
 I do various SEO and backlinking tasks for several sites and if you're not certain of what you're doing, you're bound to f^#k something up for 90 to 180 days.

Compliments and questions about my email signature

 Smiles, some who have written to me to ask questions, to convey they weren't happy with a post or just to say "Hi" have received this in their replied email:

 No, I do not take a picture of my business card everytime I respond to an email, it's a part of my signature.
You can put your name, address, pictures of your children, a youtube video or almost anything you's like in your signature.


 - Go to "settings".

 - Click "options" which will open a screen that looks like this. Different with every type of account.

 - Click "signature" and have a blast. *Remember to save whatever you add.

Here's an example of a low level scammer

 I would like to think that those who come here and actually read my posts are well educated and prepared for these sorts of BS scams.
 I've already given instructions on how to trace emails and phone calls for "verification".

 So, I post things that I no longer need on C List and other similar sites to get rid of them or trade. I posted a high end RC Traxxas Revo 3.3 recently and I get a text from someone that says they want it.
They don't need to see it or make sure it works but they're sending me a check FedX - 1st red flag.

 I get the tracking number from the sender but haven't gone to get it because I'm out of the country but it's fake trust me. They want me to deposit it into my bank account and then they will send me directions for a "shipper" to pick it up. - 2nd red flag.

Now the person or persons are texting me every hour to make sure I deposited their check 3rd red flag.

*I told them I deposited the check just for the hell of it...smiles. I'm devious like that and enjoy this sort of Tom Foolery.

 Be careful and never drop your guard.

Why thousands of millionaires don’t pay federal income taxes

Interactive

Tax documents obtained by the New York Times show that Donald Trump declared a massive net operating loss of $916 million in 1995, enough to allow him to avoid paying federal income taxes for up to 18 years. The documents shed light on provisions in the U.S. tax code that allow wealthy individuals to avoid income tax payments even in years when they make millions.

In 1995, Trump declared $3.4 million in business income, $7.4 million in interest income, and close to $100,000 in income from other sources such as dividends, taxable refunds and wages. But this income was more than offset by hundreds of millions of dollars in reported losses from real estate and "the financial wreckage he left behind in the early 1990s through mismanagement of three Atlantic City casinos, his ill-fated foray into the airline business and his ill-timed purchase of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan," according to the Times.

About 46 percent of all tax filers (individuals or households) pay no federal income taxes each year because of various exclusions. High-income tax filers make up a tiny portion of that number, but they are by far the biggest beneficiaries. More than half of the tax revenue lost to the most common tax exclusions stays in the pockets of the richest one-fifth of Americans, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.

While it's rare for high-earners to pay no federal income tax, it's not unheard of. In 2011, for instance, about 433,000 tax filers with incomes over $100,000 paid no federal income tax, according to estimates based on limited IRS data by the Tax Policy Center, a nonprofit think tank. That number includes approximately 4,000 filers with an income of $1 million or more.

10 Things You Can Do RIGHT NOW to Improve Your Life

*I can't say I agree with the author's sentiments and some I'm opposed to yet my "opinion" isn't the center of the universe now is it?

My biggest criticism with personal development, self improvement, or whatever you want to call it, is that a lot of it is theoretical or has little effect on your life NOW. Of course, most people become interested in personal development because of problems they're facing immediately, which creates a perfect setup for disappointment.

Thinking back on the different areas in which I've directed my efforts, here is a short list of some of the most effective ones which got results quickly (in no particular order):

1. Buy and read the book Fantastic Voyage : Live Long Enough to Live Forever. It's a fascinating read and will give you a deep and valuable understanding of your body, nutrition, and food. When I read it I did so because I was bored, even though I had no particular interest in health or diet. Reading it instantly changed the way I see a lot of things.

2. Open up a new bank account and religiously deposit 10-15% of your after tax income into it every month. This is money that you will NEVER SPEND for your entire life. As it grows you earn interest, and spend that (or add it to this same account). Once you have a significant amount of money, you can then invest it in something reliable like an index fund. You are allowed to use it as a down payment for a house.

3. Go through your house with a trash bag and throw away everything you don't need. You will immediately feel happier, less stressed, and more motivated to work on other projects. (be sure to look in cabinets, the fridge, and your desk - you will probably need more than one bag)

4. Get in the habit of taking a walk every day. Taking walks is surprisingly therapeutic (I do it every time I have a big decision to make, or feel stressed) and is also really good for your cardiovascular system. If you can do it during the day, that's even better. A moderate amount of sun is the best way to get Vitamin D and a healthy looking tan to make the ladies (and boys) swoon.

5. Starting at the top of the list, make a decision on one person in your phone every day. They either get a phone call or deleted. You might feel weird calling people you haven't talked to in a while, but think of how you would feel if they called just to see how you were doing. You'd probably feel really good that you were being thought about. During this process you'll also find people you'll never talk to again. Deleting their number will save time and effort when scrolling through your phone book.

6. Similar to #3, go through your closet and either pack up (to be lost in the attic forever), throw away, or donate any clothes you haven't worn in the past 30 days. (Exceptions are seasonal items [can't you just pack those?] or things like a suit or party dress that doesn't expect frequent use.)

7. Go shopping and buy enough of the following items to last at least 6 months :

• toothpaste
• paper towels
• toilet paper (try moistened towelettes! they're way better)
• soap
• detergent for clothes and dishes
• plastic bags (zip lock and trash)

If you can think of any other items where a) the price isn't going to change drastically b) your preference probably won't change c) the shelf life is very long, then stock up on those too. Look! You've just eliminated a serious chunk of your todo list and mindless errands for the next six months!

8. If you're disorganized, get and read Getting Things Done : The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. It will have you organized with a gameplan for staying organized easily within 1-3 days. If you're already organized, then you can just take a second and gloat.

9. Find the most expensive item you have that you don't use anymore and sell it on ebay. It will take you 10 minutes at most, plus another 30 minutes to ship (while you're at the post ofice, get 100 2 cent stamps and never worry about that again). Alternatively, just send it to me as a present.

10. Show this page to your friends! Helping out other people makes you feel better, and working on some of these things with your friends will make them more fun.

Don't just read this list and think "that's a good idea". Do it now! If you're at work, then order the books, take a break and make your first phone call while you take a walk.

I tried to fairly evenly distribute the focus between the three areas of Health, Wealth, and Relationships. Relationships has the least focus because improving your health and wealth will likely improve relationships as well. If you could use some extra help with meeting women or being attractive to them, check out my book called Make Her Chase You. I am a world famous pickup artist who has learned from the best ladies' men in the world, and I've condensed all of my knowledge into one awesome book.
