It's not like you can't make a great living from designing WordPress websites. It's just that that kind of work takes a lot of work. Wouldn't it be nice to not have your revenue stream strictly dependent on how many hours you work in a day or how many new clients you can sign in a year?
As you know, WordPress development doesn't necessarily lend itself well to generating recurring revenue. It's just the nature of the work. A client hires you to design a WordPress website. You spend a month or two building it, maybe longer. Then it's done. One-off development projects require you to continually be on the hunt for new income streams.
Add to that the fact that freelancing isn't always the most stable line of work. Since you work on contracts and are not a hired employee, you never know if or when a client might fire you. Or if a new client will fail to pay and force you to chase down the money owed for months. Or if the next holiday season will bring a lull in business as clients are reluctant to spend money while next year's budget is hammered out.
Whether you're a new WordPress developer who's looking for a quicker way to ramp up earnings, or you're a seasoned professional hoping to bring greater stability to your revenue, you would benefit from diversifying your income. By finding alternative revenue streams, you can give yourself more time, more peace of mind, more revenue, and a more attractive skill set to help you sell your services to clients in the first place.
There are different ways to diversify your income as a WordPress professional, and the one(s) you choose will depend on where you are in your career.
For instance, if you're brand new to WordPress development, you won't have any brand name recognition or a trusted client base to tap into to upsell things like ongoing services or add-ons. If you're a seasoned professional, on the other hand, you might want to spend more time on tasks that complement the offering people are already clamoring for.
Before you go jumping into any one of these areas, really think about which of these would practically help you earn more money while also adding value for your clients.
Have you ever found yourself interested in what the other parties involved in WordPress web development do?
For instance, your focus has always been on coding, but you're pretty sure you'd also be really great at search engine optimization since you've always had a strong interest in how Google's search algorithms work.
Or maybe you always had a talent for writing despite getting hired strictly for your programming skills. You might want to use this opportunity to create content of your own derived from your first-hand experiences using WordPress.
There's nothing that says you have to be just one thing and stick to it–especially if it gives you a better understanding of how the entire ecosystem of a WordPress site works.
If you have the skills, consider diversifying your income first by getting yourself a hyphenated job title.
It's inevitable that, as you spend more time within WordPress, you're going to gravitate towards certain parts of it more than others. If WordPress themes happen to be your thing, you might want to think about building your own.
Ben Gillbanks has a pretty neat example of this.
According to his bio, he is a WordPress developer and designer who used to work as the Director of Web Development for an online games site. Nowadays, however, his full-time focus is on building and selling WordPress themes.
If themes don't do it for you, but you're in love with all the awesome things WordPress plugins do, you could go that route instead. This would be an especially good fit if you enjoy staying up on the latest and greatest trends. In so doing, you could craft plugins that WordPress users and implementers would need in order to implement something brand new that requires any understanding of how to code it.
Stephen Cronin is a long-time web developer (no joke, he got his start back in the '90s) who picked up WordPress plugin development as a trade in 2007.
There's so much that can be communicated to your visitors by your choice of typography. But, without the help of typography designers, you'd be stuck using long-time system defaults. Like Times New Roman. Blegh.
If you're knowledgeable in the ways of using typefaces to convey emotion, personality, and you're feeling inspired to design one that would address a particular need for modern web design, then consider building your own type and selling it.
WordPress themes and plugins may be the easiest way to integrate external sources within WordPress. However, there are other ways in which web designers can streamline their processes and better adhere to best practices by using resources made by others.
Or, you could just sell them from your own website. They could be an upsell with theme purchases or a standalone resource you sell in your WordPress store.
Do you have a particular interest in the branding side of websites? Designing logos? Strategizing voice and style? Choosing color templates?
If you've ever had a new client tell you that he or she doesn't yet have a logo or any branding established, there's no need to wait for a branding specialist to step in and do this for them. You also don't have to try and make it up on the fly if you hadn't anticipated a lack of branded materials. Instead, this can become an add-on service you offer new WordPress website clients.
Visual content is such an important part of the online experience these days. For those of you who are particularly talented with a camera or who have kickass illustration skills, you could start creating your own custom imagery to sell through your site or made specifically for your clients (at a premium price, of course).
This is probably one of the most common and easiest ways to create recurring revenue through WordPress–especially once a client has already had the experience of working with you. Of course, WordPress maintenance and support isn't a hands-free type of work, but there is a lot you can do to automate these tasks if you were to offer them to clients.
Of course, this all depends on how much maintenance or what kind of support you want to offer, but you get my point: there are plugins to help you more quickly manage clients' updates, uptime monitoring, security checks, and more.
Last year, Rachel McCollin talked about how she ran a WordPress Multisite business. While she could have relied on reseller hosting she started with, she found that most of her clients weren't doing anything with it. In other words, if they weren't accessing their control panel or making customizations, and if they didn't need their own IP address or unique web server, why not just put them on a Multisite network?
Either way, McCollin was managing the hosting piece of the puzzle for clients. It was simply a matter of finding the right one for them. And this is something you can think about too: would it be more beneficial for your clients to have their own web hosting plans that you then keep tabs on in addition to a WordPress management tool… or does it make more sense to do it all through Multisite?
This is one of those things you could do strictly as your profession (i.e. "WordPress strategist") or you could use it to get in the door with new clients.
In essence, you'd market yourself as a WordPress website expert. Maybe you even have a niche like e-commerce design strategy or WordPress SEO strategy. You offer your services as a strategist and consultant, the trusted expert who will tell clients exactly what they need. Then, once they're sold on your plan, you can sign them up for your WordPress development services.
Just make sure you know how to go about handling the strategy piece. This means knowing to use SEO tools to plan keywording, researching the competitive landscape, and so on.
Think of this like the strategist offering, except this occurs after a site has already been built (ideally, after someone else did it).
If you go this route, Google Analytics, keyword ranking tools, and WP Checkup will need to become your best friends.
You read the WPMU DEV blog regularly, right? So you know how much there is to learn about WordPress, security, performance, SEO, coding techniques, design trends, plugins, themes, and so on and so forth when you work in this field.
Let's say the above suggestions for diversifying your income seem just okay. Maybe you'd be more interested in working towards bettering the field of WordPress for your peers instead. Or for other WordPress users who simply want to know how to DIY WordPress. In that case, identify your own area of expertise and then pick the right format in which to teach it to them.
Jason McCullough is a web developer who states that he's currently working on building a series of courses for small business owners. While he will give his away for free, that doesn't mean you would have to do the same–especially if you market your course on a paid platform like Udemy.
Online classes aren't the only way you can generate revenue from teaching WordPress-related topics. You could also upsell clients on WordPress training (that is if you don't give it away for free at the end of your projects). Or you could host a WordPress workshop at a community college if there's enough interest in your local area for it.
For some of you, the more passive way to teaching might be the route you prefer. In that case, you'd need to determine if you prefer writing or recording your WordPress tutorials. Then, it's a matter of finding the right platform on which to share them.
You could, of course, do like I do and partner with a WordPress blog that's in need of instructional content. If you think you'd be better at communicating how to work within WordPress using video, you can do that too. But finding a way to monetize it may be trickier.
This is actually a really unique tutorial/consultant-type of service. Basically, clients sign up for his service and ask him to review something on their website or with their plugin. He then records himself doing a walk-through of the product, giving them a detailed explanation of what he sees as being wrong and provides tips on how it can be fixed. It's a very personalized form of tutorials.
Writing, in general, is another way in which you can diversify income as a WordPress professional. And it doesn't always have to be in the form of a tutorial. Perhaps you want to do new plugin or theme reviews. Or you like to speculate on upcoming technologies or design trends that will affect WordPress development in the future.
Writing content for the web can be anything you want it to be, you just have to make sure you know what you're talking about. Then, find the right platform on which to do it.
In terms of making money, you could become a contributing writer for a blog that focuses on topics you're interested in writing about. Or, if you've done lengthy research on a particular topic that you know would be of great value to others, turn it into a white paper, ebook, or infographic. Then sell it through your website. It should have its own landing page and pop-up, too.
I find that WordPress freelancers who have gone into business for themselves fall into one of two categories. The first is the lone warrior who prefers working on their own and quietly building up a steady client base. The second is the entrepreneur who dreams of turning their freelance business into an agency.
It's this second type of freelancer that would be great at public speaking.
Sonja Leix is a WordPress designer and digital strategist who also spends a lot of time speaking at WordCamps around the U.S. and Europe.
While WordCamps are the most recognizable of speaking opportunities for WordPress professionals, there are other avenues you might consider pursuing. Look at web design or development-specific conferences if you're trying to grow your name within the field. You might also consider public speaking that crosses over into motivational speaking if you have a particularly inspirational story you can use to get others to take action.
As always, this is about playing to your strengths and personal interests.
There are also ways in which you can put your WordPress site to work in generating revenue for you. The first of which is by placing ads on your website.
Do you only want to run ads from partners who have provided you with ad creative?
Do you want to allow a service like AdSense to choose the ads for you?
Will you use a WordPress plugin to solicit anyone and everyone to buy ad space on your site?
This all depends on what your site is about and what kinds of ads you want to complement it.
In a recent post, I talked about the benefits of launching a referral or affiliate program on a WordPress site. As a WordPress developer, a referral program would be a particularly good choice for your business model. After all, aside from your portfolio, how are prospective clients to know they can trust you?
All you need to do is lay out the terms of the referral program, so your clients know what they'll get in exchange for sending new business your way, which will also help keep your current clients on your site for longer as they can enjoy the perks of their loyalty. Then, you need to decide how you're going to inform clients about the program–On the site? By email? On social media?
An affiliate program might not be a bad idea for your business either. However, this relies on others to share links from your website on their own web properties, be they a website, social media post, or newsletter. If you have share-worthy content or a service that would make sense for them to promote there, then an affiliate program is a good option.
If one of your income diversification strategies is to sell something other than a WordPress service (like a plugin, theme, or template set), an affiliate program would most definitely be in your best interests. Again, take the time to build out the program, define the terms, and then start getting the word out about it.
If you're in the habit of creating content for your blog, you should definitely consider becoming an affiliate and promote links to others' content. The one affiliate program, in particular, I can think of is the ThemeForest Affiliate Program. Makes sense, right? If you're a WordPress professional, you're likely to spend some time writing about themes, so why not make some money off of them?
You could, of course, always just promote products from a site like Amazon too. This would make more sense if you talk about technology and other tools that would help your readers.
Networking within the WordPress community can be a great thing. You can trade client horror stories, provide support to one another when things aren't going well, and learn from each other.
As your WordPress business grows, you might also want to look to this community of peers for partnership opportunities. After all, if you're growing your business, that means you're going to need to fill in gaps for services you cannot offer yourself. Rather than hire freelancers to help you, you could work in conjunction with another WordPress professional.
Even if you're not in the position to build out your business, it would still be beneficial to have WordPress contacts you could work with on a referral system. For instance, I have a developer who occasionally sends business to me when clients ask about custom web copy. In exchange, I let my clients know that she is available if they are in need of web development work.
Many of the services or products above can be offered to your clients at any time. However, why not create a premium membership bundle that you can sell to them? It'll show that you've been able to anticipate their needs and also make you the go-to for all their WordPress needs going forward.
The key is to create a package that covers a broad range of needs all at once.
This is just like those TV shows where people buy a house, do major renovations on it, and then sell it for a profit. Web developers can do the same thing by snagging up a free domain name, building a somewhat generic website on it, and then selling it to someone who wants a website on the fly.
You create custom artwork, illustrations, or photography that could be sold.
You have a killer wit that clients and the WordPress community have come to know you for. In that case, you could add your witticisms to hats, shirts, mouse pads, etc.
You're running an agency and want to give your clients the total marketing package. This means designing things like business cards, presentation materials, stationery, and other physical goods to hand out on behalf of their brand (and that match the site you designed for them).
I know the whole point of this is to diversify your income as a WordPress professional… but I don't see any reason why you can't supplement your income with something else you're passionate about.
Take Matt Brett, for instance.
He's been building WordPress sites since 2003. While he still works as a web designer and developer today, he also dabbles in writing about video games and plays paid music gigs.
Obviously, many of these passive income streams still require you to do some work whether it be in the initial setup or ongoing management and maintenance of them. No work in or related to WordPress will ever be 100% passive. As such, make sure you're not taking these on if you already have too much on your plate. Diversifying income should be a way to complement your main revenue stream; not be a hindrance to it.


As a result of restrictions imposed by the authorities along the Western Balkans route, tensions have been rising at the border between Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, prompting the United Nations refugee agency to call on the authorities of both countries to manage the border in a manner consistent with human rights and refugee-protection principles.
Limitations are being placed on refugees and migrants from countries other than Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq along, causing tensions at Idomeni, on the Greek side of the border, which have led on several occasions to violence and a temporary closure of the border, according to a news release issued by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The agency expressed deep concern at the situation and added that it is saddened by the death of a Moroccan man at the border today under as yet unclear circumstances.
Further, UNHCR underlined the need for the authorities to take appropriate action and called on the Greek authorities to restore security as a matter of priority in order to ensure the protection of those in need and the safety of humanitarian workers and volunteers.
Additionally, UNHCR said transportation has been facilitated for the refugees and migrants who have been refused admission into the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to return to Athens, where reception facilities and assistance are available and UNHCR staff is present to offer individual advice and legal counselling on a case-by-case basis.
The agency reiterated concern over the consequences of border restrictions being implemented by several countries in the Balkans and recommended profiling people based on their protection needs as opposed to their nationality.
UNHCR and other organizations have called on the concerned states to re-establish coordination and response mechanisms agreed at the Western Balkans Summit on 8 October and the Leaders` Meeting on 25 October 2015.
Earlier this week, the UN Children`s Fund (UNICEF) and the International organization for Migration (IOM) reported that so far this year, there have been some 730,000 sea arrivals in Greece, with flows heading further into Europe through the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia.

I have a FLU...but what is flu?
Influenza is an infectious respiratory illness caused by an infection with a influenza virus. Flu has substantial incidence in children & adults <65 yrs. Not everyone gets sick when infected; the common symptoms include headache, fever, cough, sore throat, chills, fatigue and cold like symptoms. It is generally common in the infant and elderly as they are more susceptible to disease.
Influenza is known as orthomyxoviridae, it is an enveloped virus with a helical nucleocapsid. Influenza virus has segmented genomes, ssRNA with 8 different RNA molecules. Therefore various strains can be formed, each segment codes for one protein hence different strains of influenza.
Haemagglutinin binds to cell surface receptors. Neuraminidase is an enzyme that breaks down sialic acid and is involved in protein assembly. Both H and N are involved in immunity in regards to IgA.
There are three types of influenza A, B and C others are known to exist. Influenza A undergoes drift and shift. Influenza B only undergoes shift. Meaning antigenic shift is the re-assortment of gene segments from different strains and antigenic drift is the change of amino acid sequence of H and/or N from genetic mutations. Most changes occur through drift i.e. H3N2 Hong Kong flu may have been due to the change in H. Others known as H5N1, H9N2 also exist, however H1N1 and H3N2 (Sydney strain) are currently circulating.
MODE OF TRANSMISSION
Traditionally, influenza viruses have been thought to spread from person to person, primarily through large-particle respiratory droplet transmission (such as when an infected person coughs or sneezes near a susceptible person). Transmission via large-particle droplets requires close contact between the source and the recipient, because droplets generally travel only short distances (approximately ≤6 ft) through the air, but then settle out of the air. Indirect contact transmission via hand transfer of influenza virus from virus-contaminated surfaces or objects to mucosal surfaces of the face (nose, mouth) may also occur. Airborne transmission via small-particle aerosols in the vicinity of the infectious person may also occur; however, the relative contribution of the different modes of influenza transmission is unclear. All respiratory secretions and bodily fluids, including diarrheal stools, of patients with influenza should be considered infectious; however, the predominant source of infection is respiratory secretions. Viable influenza virus is rarely detected in blood or stool of infected patients. Most healthy adults who are ill with influenza may shed virus and be infectious to others from the day before symptom onset to 5–7 days after symptom onset; children, severely immunocompromised people, and more severely ill people, including those who are hospitalized, may shed influenza virus for ≥10 days after the onset of symptoms.
The replication of influenza is similar to that of an animal viral replication. Influenza enters the host cell by haemagglutinin binding to sialic acid found on glycoprotein receptors of host cell. The cell endocytoses the virus. In the acidic environment of endosomes, virus changes shape and fuses its envelope with endosomal membrane. This is followed by a signal to release the viral nucleocapsid into host cell cytoplasm. The nucleocapsid travels to the host nucleus.
Once in the host nucleus, primary transcription produces proteins for replication. It involves cap snatching where viral endonuclease (PB2) cuts 5' methylguanosine cap as well as 10-13 nucleotides from RNA. This is used as a primer for transcription of PB1, viral transcriptase. In influenza A and B, 10 proteins result from translation of 8 segments of genome including H, N, PB1, PB2 etc...
Once the initial proteins are made, the 8 + cRNA sense are made from 8 – cRNA sense. These lack 5' capped primer as well as 3' poly (A) tail found in mRNA. From cRNA, - RNA sense is produced. Various proteins help – RNA to exit the nucleus and enter into the cytoplasm of host cell.
Meanwhile in the cytoplasm, H and N have undergone glycosylation, polymerisation and acylation. H, N and M2 travel together to the plasma membrane. There it meets with other matrix protein, M1 and begin the budding process, where the viral particle buds. N finally destroys the sialic acid receptors on the membrane thus allowing the viral particle to leave the cell.
Infection with seasonal influenza viruses is common. In temperate climates, most cases occur during the winter months. The influenza season in the Northern Hemisphere may begin as early as October and can extend until May, and the influenza season in the Southern Hemisphere may begin in April and last through September. In tropical and subtropical areas, infection with influenza virus may occur throughout the year.
CDC estimates that from 1976 through 2006, annual seasonal influenza-associated deaths in the United States ranged from a low of approximately 3,000 people to a high of approximately 49,000 people; about 90% of these deaths occur among people aged ≥65 years. Influenza virus infections can cause disease in all age groups. Infection rates are highest among infants and children, while rates of severe illness (including death) are highest among people aged ≥65 and people of any age who have underlying medical conditions that place them at increased risk for complications. Children aged <2 years have rates of influenza-related hospitalization that are as high as those in the elderly.
Zoonotic Influenza
Influenza A viruses circulate in many different animal populations. The primary reservoirs for influenza A viruses of all subtypes are wild birds. Influenza viruses found in birds are typically referred to as avian influenza viruses. Influenza A viruses are also endemic in pigs globally and in horses in many countries. Other animal species may also become infected with influenza A viruses, including domestic poultry and marine mammals. During the 2009 pandemic, infections of domesticated cat and dogs, ferrets, turkeys, a cheetah, and other animals were also reported.
Human infections with animal-origin viruses are uncommon, but they occur. Before the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, occasional swine influenza infections among humans were reported in the United States and elsewhere. In addition, more than 500 human infections with highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 (HPAI-H5N1) have been reported globally since 2003. Human infections with HPAI-H5N1 are particularly concerning because of the high case-fatality ratio of approximately 60% and because this virus is widespread among poultry in some countries in Asia and the Middle East. Thus far, however, the spread of HPAI-H5N1 viruses from one ill person to another has been reported rarely and has thus far been limited, inefficient, and unsustained. Human infections with other avian influenza viruses have also included avian H7N7, H7N2, and H9N2. No sustained transmission of these other avian influenza viruses has been documented, but these viruses, along with H5N1, still have the potential to result in a pandemic.
In addition, a lot of people continue to be infected by a particular subtype of influenza (H7N9) Avian influenza A. It was found in China on March 2013. It previously detected in birds in the past but was not observed in animals nor humans like in 2013. The World Health Organisation on January 2015 performed a risk assessment and have ultimately discovered that public health risk has not been altered since the initial assessment that took place on October 2014. To see the report for October 2014. Here is information below:
http://www.who.int/influenza/human_animal_interface/influenza_h7n9/riskassessment_h7n9_2Oct14.pdf?ua=1
However, since then, infections in both humans and birds have been observed. The disease is of concern because most patients have become severely ill. Most of the cases of human infection with this avian H7N9 virus have reported recent exposure to live poultry or potentially contaminated environments, especially markets where live birds have been sold. This virus does not appear to transmit easily from person to person, and sustained human-to-human transmission has not been reported.
Pandemic Influenza
A global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization after 30,000 confirmed cases of 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus had been reported from 74 countries. The virus spread from North America to the rest of the world. Severe illness resulting from infection with this virus was associated with risk factors such as chronic medical conditions, immunosuppression, pregnancy, young age, morbid obesity, and being a member of an indigenous population. However, in contrast to the epidemiology of seasonal influenza, CDC estimates that almost 90% of deaths from this virus occurred among people aged <65 years. The 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus continues to circulate and was included as a component of the 2010–11 seasonal influenza vaccine.
The H5N1 avian influenza outbreak in Hong Kong 1997
In the latter half of 1997, an outbreak occurred in Hong Kong whereby 18 persons were infected by an avian influenza A, serotype H5N1. Of these 6 died, and 3 others were severely ill. The source of the outbreak was infected chickens and the outbreak stopped after all the chickens were slaughtered in the territory. Large-scale serological studies carried out showed that workers in the poultry industry were particularly at risk of infection although none complained of any symptoms. There was evidence of limited human to human transmission. It was postulated that the strain of avian influenza involved was unusually virulent; it had multiple basic amino acids near the cleavage site of the haemagglutinin protein, which as a result may render the haemagglutinin susceptible to a wider range of proteases. Since that outbreak, no more cases have occurred. In 1999, there were reports of human infections by avian influenza A H9N2 in Hong Kong and in Mainland China. However, all these cases were very mild and it is thought that the virus was unlikely to pose a large public health risk.
Influenza epidemics are responsible for massive disruption to industry, and for a significant number of deaths, particularly in the elderly and the very young. At present, treatment of influenza is entirely symptomatic. Salicylates should be avoided in children because of the link with Reye's syndrome. 2 compounds, amantidine and ribavirin, with antiviral activity against influenza have been identified and may be of value.
Amantidine - this compound inhibit the growth of influenza viruses in cell culture and in experimental animals. Amantidine is only effective against influenza A, and some naturally occurring strains of influenza A are resistant to it. The mechanism of action of amantadine is not known. It is thought to act at the level of virus uncoating. The compound has been shown to have both therapeutic and prophylactic effects. Amantidine significantly reduced the duration of fever (51 hours as opposed to 74 hours) and illness. The compound also conferred 70% protection against influenza A when given prophylactically. Amantidine can occasionally induce mild neurological symptoms such as insomnia, loss of concentration and mental disorientation. However, these symptoms quickly developed in susceptible individuals and cease when treatment is stopped. The therapeutic and prophylactic activity of amantidine is now generally accepted and numerous analogues of this compound have been prepared. Rimantadine is not as effective as amantadine but is less toxic. Prophylaxis with 200mg of amantadine per day for 5 to 6 weeks or for the duration of the influenza A outbreak is not recommended for all persons. However, elderly persons with chronic underlying disease, institutionalized persons, staff and patients in hospital, close contacts of an index case, and patients who cannot receive influenza A vaccine due to sensitivity to egg protein may benefit from prophylaxis. Amantadine can also be used for therapy of uncomplicated influenza A infections. The recommended dose is 200mg for 5 days. Rimantadine may be used in place of amantadine for prophylaxis and the treatment of uncomplicated influenza A infections.
Rimantidine - this compound is similar to amantidine but has fewer side effects. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza A infection in persons one year or older. It should be used for uncomplicated influenza A infections only since it is thought to be less effective than amantidine. Amantadine and rimantadine resistant viruses are readily generated in the laboratory. Resistance has been linked to changes in the M2 protein. To date, the emergence of resistant influenza A has been documented primarily in young children undergoing therapy with rimantadine. The resistant viruses had been transmitted and caused influenza. The universal susceptibility of all types of naturally occuring influenza A isolated from man and animals suggests that resistance will be found only in individuals treated with the drug. The reason for the natural selection of the susceptible phenotype of influenza A in nature is not known.
Zanamivir - the rational approach to drug design has led to the design of several potent inhibitors of influenza neuraminidase. Zanamivir was the first neuraminidase inhibitor available for clinical use and is effective against both influenza A and B. Because of its poor bioavailability, zanamivir must be administered by inhalation. Zanamivir had been shown to be effective and devoid of significant side effects in clinical trials. It is now approved by the FDA for use as treatment for influenza A and B in persons 12 years or older but not for prophylaxis.
Oseltamivir - oseltamivir is another neuraminidase inhibitor but unlike zanamivir, it can be given orally. Like zanamivir, it had been shown to be effective and devoid of significant side effects in clinical trials. It is approved by the FDA for use as treatment for influenza A and B in persons 18 years or older. It is also approved for prophylaxis in persons 13 years or older. Its lack of side effects would make particularly attractive in a family setting although its higher cost compared to amantidine and rimantidine should be taken into account.
Health is crucial in every single person's life. Its something that money can't buy. Thus a good health makes you rich so look after it.

I wrote this because, well, dishes and bottles.
One night I was standing at the sink doing dishes and thinking about how life seems to revolve around cleaning dishes and cleaning bottles lately, and I was sort of over it.
I started lamenting the fact that I ALWAYS have to do dishes and I ALWAYS have to clean the bottles and I ALWAYS…you know the drill; the ALWAYS and NEVER sickness that crops up every once in a while usually late in the evening when your defenses are down and you are bone-tired and perhaps a little more cranky than usual but you're not sure you're willing to admit that to yourself yet.
I imagine I'm not the only one who's been through the whole bitter vs. grateful aspect of what feels like never-ending dishes pile or baskets of unfolded laundry or the countless other chores that are more constant than anything else in this thing called life with a family.
So, after I lamented to myself a little bit, then felt sorry for myself a little bit (well, a lot bit, if we're being totally honest here), like I indeed was Cinderella confined by my evil step sisters to the sink, I remembered suddenly: Hey self, I chose this. And hey, self also: it isn't that bad. After about 30 minutes of reminders to myself, I told myself to more or less get over it.
And then I realized (too late, as I often do) that maybe I need a teaspoon of my own medicine that I so freely give my kids: that with everything in life, there is a rose and a thorn. And learning that perhaps bottles are my personal thorns in the great, big, bold, beautiful rose that is having a baby. And the price of admission for having a family is dishes, and the price of admission for having a chubby, chortling happy baby is constant bottle washing.
And so out of that—I thought a lot about life. And voila! This sort of poem (or whatever you would call this) about the price of admission for living a full life.
Skinned knees, hurt feelings, jelly side down, broken hearts and those darn clam shell packages. Socks with holes in the most inconvenient places. Crying jags.
Bad moods, overcast skies, laundry piled high, dishes. Missing keys, too much mail, pants that are too tight. Burned toast.
Late running appointments, over boiling pots, stepped-on toes, bitterness, children that are bedtime-allergic, shoes that still haven't stretched out. Unwanted pounds. Selfishness. Ego.
Exhaustion – by things, people, money, traffic, yourself, noise, computers, politics, that earworm song that you can't get out of your head.
Indescribable joy, unbridled pain and suffering, boredom. Equal parts pain and joy, unequal parts pain and joy depending upon your constitution.
Bubbles and ice cream. Days where everything goes your way. Autumn. Tea in the morning and sun that still shines brightly no matter what.
Butter. Love. Rainbows. Innocence, like a child arguing whole heartedly with you that a unicorn really does exist. Hamburgers. God. Children. The cool part of the pillow. Wonder. Fireflies.
Naps. Books. The simple act of blowing a dandelion.
Sleep and purring cats. Warm socks and silent nights. The sound of stillness. Eating cake for breakfast. Long walks, the beach and road trips. Hot baths. Exhilarating freedom.
Babies crying, dog poop found inside the house, spilled milk, Lego embedded into sole of foot. The kind of sick that involves vomit or the other thing. Or, on lucky days, both things. Confusion. Heartache. Not sure whether you're tired, angry, or hungry, or all of the above.
The gym. Which really, could go either way if we're being completely honest about it.
Middle aged spread. Fleas. Mosquitos and other annoyances. The kid that won't eat anything green. Potholes. The strange crust that forms around the toothpaste tube opening that only very OCD or organized people seem to be able to avoid completely. Whining. Sadness. Weeds.
Being able to feel the breeze on your face, smell the newly cut grass in the air, barbecue. The first corn of the summer. Fat, round chortling babies.
Tenderness, warmth. Comforting campfires and long stories. Brushing the tendrils of hair out of your child's sleeping face. Patience. Learning to be a beginner. Plump peaches. Quiet.
Hope. Kindness and mercy, especially in the face of something traumatic. Lending a hand. Mercy. Happiness that radiates up from your toes. Concerts. Living out loud. Learning to let go of who you were. Wide toothy smiles.
The solid notion that life indeed goes on, which most days presents itself as laundry to be folded and dishes to be done.
Big sigh!!!! Missed you. You've helped to calm me once again.
So true. I often feel sorry for myself while emptying the dishwasher for the 3rd time in one day, but then I remember why I am there. I'm lucky enough to have a family to look after and money to buy food to make the dirty dishes. The laughter of happy people in my home is worth the price of admission, for sure.
Agreed! Thanks for stopping by to comment.

Trump, along with Jared Kushner and economic advisor Gary Cohn, met with the CEOs of United, Delta and Southwest Airlines this morning, among other airline and airport executives. The president kicked off the meeting by congratulating them on their successes despite the "bad equipment" that airports have given them, per White House pool reports.
"Let's order the right equipment," he said, adding that the wrong equipment most likely costs more. "We spent $6 trillion in the Middle East, we got nothing... we have an obsolete plane system, we have obsolete airports."
Trump then explained how his policies will soon start helping airlines to hire more people and roll back "burdensome regulations." He also said that they can expect an announcement within the next 2 or 3 weeks that will be "phenomenal" in terms of tax.
Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said that the top priority for helping airlines would be to "modernize the air traffic control system" noting that money spent on the system has not helped improve it in the past. Trump agreed that the system is "totally out of whack," and said that perhaps it would work better if FAA was run by a pilot.

Civil extended an invitation to Punch on Twitter to come on her podcast, 'Girl I Guess', asking at the same time: "Can we play that new Kendrick you played me?"
"YES!" Punch replied. "Soon." You can see the tweets between the two below.
New material from the rapper was also hinted at when he was confirmed to headline this year's Roskilde Festival in Denmark. A post by the festival, when announcing his appearance, read: "Two albums later – and with new material along the way – he is once again ready to take Roskilde Festival's main stage with a concert that is likely to be one of the absolute highlights of the summer."
YES! Soon.

Inija Trinkūnienė è inoltre alta sacerdotessa (krivė) della comunità Romuva, prima donna ad assumere questo ruolo nella storia della Lituania.

Biografia
In gioventù, a dispetto delle autorità sovietiche, Inija Trinkūnienė si interessò e apprese le tradizioni precristiane della sua terra dai contadini che ancora oggi le conservano e tramandano.

Da queste prime ricerche etnografiche e folkloristiche, nacque il Romuva, movimento religioso neopagano sorto sulle basi dell'antica fede lituana presente prima della cristianizzazione del 1387.

Nel movimento Romuva Trinkūnienė svolse un ruolo cruciale fino a divenirne la guida nel 2014, a seguito della morte del precedente sommo sacerdote (krivis) nonché marito Jonas Trinkūnas. È inoltre tra le fondatrici del Congresso europeo delle religioni etniche.

Inija Trinkūnienė ha conseguito un master in psicologia presso l'Università di Vilnius ed è stata insignita di un dottorato onorario dalla Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya University di Haridwar, in India.

È stata tra le relatrici nella sessione plenaria indigena presso il Parlamento delle religioni del mondo a Toronto nel 2015.

Ha portato avanti la battaglia per far riconoscere il movimento neopagano dei Romuva come religione, statuto che è stato rifiutato dal parlamento lituano  nel 2019.

Trinkūnienė è anche uno dei principali membri del gruppo lituano di musica popolare Kūlgrinda, fondato nel 1989.

Continental Resources Reducing 2015 Capital Spending To Align With Projected Cash Flow Until Oil Prices Strengthen
Production Growth Guidance of 19% to 23% Unchanged
OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Continental Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CLR) (Continental or the Company) today announced plans to spend approximately $300 to $350 million less than its previously approved capital budget for 2015 to better align spending with cash flow at current commodity prices. The Company plans to defer well completion activity, except for where it has contractual considerations or it accomplishes specific strategic objectives. Continental is also reducing its operated rig count in the Bakken from 10 to eight rigs by the end of the month.
"While we do not believe today's low commodity prices are sustainable long term, we are committed to living within cash flow until they recover," said Harold Hamm, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are reducing capital expenditures to protect our balance sheet and to preserve the value of our world-class assets until commodity prices improve."
The Company's 2015 guidance remains unchanged. Continental continues to expect production growth of 19% to 23% for the year, compared with 2014, but now expects to exit the year with production in a range of approximately 200,000 to 215,000 barrels of oil equivalent (Boe) per day. The bottom end of the range is 10,000 Boe per day below its previously stated outlook, reflecting an increase of inventory from the previously expected 100 gross operated wells that are drilled but not yet completed at year-end 2015 to the current estimate of 160 gross wells drilled but not yet completed at year-end 2015. Maintenance capital to maintain 2016 production at the 2015 exit rate is now projected to be $1.6 to $2.0 billion.
In its August 5, 2015 earnings press release and on its August 6 earnings conference call, the Company noted actual capital spending was trending below its $2.7 billion non-acquisition capital expenditures budget and further noted that, if weak oil prices persisted, the Company would take additional measures to balance capital expenditures with reduced cash flow.
"We continue to focus on achieving cash flow neutrality in the current environment," said John Hart, Chief Financial Officer. "We believe it is in the interest of shareholders to defer new production growth until we see stronger commodity prices. We can achieve this objective due to our focus on costs, operating efficiencies and having a large portion of our high-potential leasehold already held by production," he said.
"We are pleased with our results year-to-date, and operating performance versus guidance remains strong, especially in terms of production growth and cost controls. Annual production growth is expected to be toward the top end of our guidance range, even with deferred completions," he said. "Production expense per Boe and general and administrative expense per Boe are also trending positively toward the low end of guidance. Lower capex spending and excellent operating performance should position us to be cash flow neutral for the remainder of 2015 in an environment of approximately $50 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate. In a $40 per barrel WTI environment, our updated spending outlook would result in capital expenditures being approximately $150 million over cash flow. We continue to have ample liquidity with approximately $1.3 billion available under our credit facility at August 31, 2015, basically in line with our June 30, 2015 balance."
"Obviously we are in a dynamic environment, and our outlook could change. We will continue reviewing our spending plans and update our outlook as appropriate," Mr. Hart said.

Cautionary Statement for the Purpose of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements included in this press release other than statements of historical fact, including, but not limited to, forecasts or expectations regarding the Company's business and statements or information concerning the Company's future operations, performance, financial condition, production and reserves, schedules, plans, timing of development, returns, budgets, costs, business strategy, objectives, and cash flow, are forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, the words "could," "may," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," "budget," "plan," "continue," "potential," "guidance," "strategy," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.
Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations and assumptions about future events and currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Although the Company believes these assumptions and expectations are reasonable, they are inherently subject to numerous business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company's control. No assurance can be given that such expectations will be correct or achieved or that the assumptions are accurate. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility; the geographic concentration of our operations; financial market and economic volatility; the inability to access needed capital; the risks and potential liabilities inherent in crude oil and natural gas exploration, drilling and production and the availability of insurance to cover any losses resulting therefrom; difficulties in estimating proved reserves and other reserves-based measures; declines in the values of our crude oil and natural gas properties resulting in impairment charges; our ability to replace proved reserves and sustain production; the availability or cost of equipment and oilfield services; leasehold terms expiring on undeveloped acreage before production can be established; our ability to project future production, achieve targeted results in drilling and well operations and predict the amount and timing of development expenditures; the availability and cost of transportation, processing and refining facilities; legislative and regulatory changes adversely affecting our industry and our business, including initiatives related to hydraulic fracturing; increased market and industry competition, including from alternative fuels and other energy sources; and the other risks described under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors and elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, registration statements and other reports filed from time to time with the SEC, and other announcements the Company makes from time to time.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statement is made. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this press release occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Except as expressly stated above or otherwise required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances after the date of this report, or otherwise.
Readers are cautioned that initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels. In particular, production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates.
We use the term "EUR" or "estimated ultimate recovery" to describe potentially recoverable oil and natural gas hydrocarbon quantities. We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production on our properties. These estimates are by their nature much more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and require substantial capital spending to implement recovery. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially. EUR data included herein remain subject to change as more well data is analyzed.

Kids scavenger hunt planned for May 18
The Pro Deo Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Carpinteria and focused on helping children and youth, will host a free #CARPlife Scavenger Hunt on May 18, open to middle and high school students. Unlike traditional scavenger hunts, this one is a photo scavenger hunt, where teams of students will compete, using their smartphones, against other teams to complete a variety of missions. Each completed mission will be given a score, and the teams with the highest scores will receive prizes at the end of the hunt. There is no one way to complete a mission, each team will have the freedom to use their creativity. The scavenger hunt will start and end at the State Beach on Linden Avenue.

A Ventura County Air Support helicopter was called to assist in locating German Noe Sotelo, who, on observing the chopper, jumped into the ocean near Venoco Pier. Coast Guard personnel rescued Sotelo after over an hour in the water and transported him to the hospital.
Child endangerment case turns into ocean rescue
At approximately 11:30 p.m. on Monday, April 15, Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a 6-year-old child who was crying and looking for her father. The girl's father reportedly pulled over to use the bathroom at Viola Fields located in the 6100 block of Carpinteria Avenue. The child was left in the vehicle, and after waiting for several hours went looking for her dad in the dark parking lot. The child located a custodian at a business located in the 6200 block of Carpinteria Avenue and asked for help. When deputies arrived, they helped search for her father, who was identified as 39-year-old German Noe Sotelo of Carpinteria. Deputies searched the area but were unable to locate Sotelo. A Sheriff's K9 team and a Ventura County Air Support helicopter were called in to assist. The K-9 Team assisted with a track to the Venoco Pier area. The air crew located Sotelo walking along the beach. When Sotelo observed the helicopter, he jumped into the ocean and began swimming away. Personnel from the Carpinteria Summerland Fire Department, American Medical Response as well as a U.S. Coast Guard vessel and helicopter responded to the scene. After more than an hour in the water, Sotelo was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard and transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. Once he is medically cleared, he will be booked at the Santa Barbara County Jail on charges of child endangerment. Child Welfare Services responded to Carpinteria and spoke to both the mother and the child. The child was frightened but fortunately not injured. She was reunited with her mother and released to her custody.

No mention of Nashik's street food is complete without singing praises of the utterly delectable Misal Pav. Packed with a variety of flavors, this Misal is arguably one of the most loved dishes all over the city. It comprises of a spicy curry called rassa and pav, garnished with chopped onion, sev, lemon, coriander and served with buttermilk or papad. The spicy red oil that gives the Misal its flavorsome taste is a signature of an authentic Nashik Misal dish.
You can the famous Nashik Misal at Hotel Sudarshan, Sadhana Misal, Tushar Misal, Shree Krishna Misal, Shamsundar Misal, Vihar Mamacha Mala, Ambika Misal and Om tea House.


Today another group of Teamsters told Hoffa and Hall "Hell No!" to concessions and secret deals: Carhaulers overwhelmingly rejected the national contract deal that Hoffa tried to sell them.
You can see the local by local numbers here and learn just what Teamsters think of Hoffa's deals. Note that in Detroit Local 299, headed by Hoffa's carhaul director and running-mate Kevin Moore, the vote was 85% No. That's how out of touch they are from working Teamsters!

City of Ghosts
Jacob is Cassidy's best, and only, friend. He's smart, funny, cute and would probably be too popular to hang out with Cassidy. If it wasn't for the fact that he's dead and no one else can see him. Ever since Jacob saved Cassidy from drowning she's been able to part the veil between worlds and see the ghosts beyond. Mostly they just play out their final moments over and over again and are tied to the place where they died. But Jacob is different. Jacob can follow Cassidy wherever she goes, talk to her, and even read comics as long as Cassidy turns the page for him. Cassidy is still trying to figure out her new abilities when her parents surprise her with a trip to Scotland to film their supernatural investigations show. Of course, they have no idea their daughter can actually see ghosts and Cassidy has never met anyone else with her abilities, until she meets Lara in Edinburgh. But there are far more ghosts in a city as old as Edinburgh than her suburb back home in America. And not all of them are trapped in the veil or as friendly as Jacob.
I loved traveling the streets of Edinburgh with Cassidy! The characters are all well drawn (especially my favorite, Jacob) and while Cassidy's parents are oblivious to her abilities they're not complete idiots either and have a good relationship with her. It's classic middle grade spooky but not too spooky without a hint of romance and focused instead on issues of friendship and family. The most ghastly descriptions are safely ensconced in historical detail which adds a bit of distance but still not recommended for the super squeamish. Supernatural fans will find much to enjoy though.

Marshmallow & Jordan
Jordan loves her basketball teammates and playing with them at practice, but after she became paralyzed from the waist down she hasn't been allowed to play in official games. Jordan is having difficulty adjusting to life in a wheelchair, but things change when she comes across a wounded baby elephant on her way home from school. She takes the elephant home to her mother, a veterinarian, and quickly forms a strong bond with the animal. Soon Jordan is back to competing, this time in water polo, and what starts as a hard year turns out to be the most magical of her life.
I love Marshmallow! This sweet, intelligent creature is sure to win over animal lovers. Jordan's profound sense of loss when she can't play basketball with her team and her commitment to learning a new sport will resonate with sports fans as well. The drawings have a beautiful, dreamlike quality while remaining rooted in real-life, which is perfect for the magical realism of the story. I love that the author includes the occasional word in Indonesian and all the details of the setting. A great comic book with wide appeal.

When Jo gets bored one summer day, she is delighted to discover a dog walking around town with a basket and shopping list. Jo decides to follow the dog as it stops in at various stores and and the clerks check the list and fill his basket. When Jo is mistaken for the dog's owner and finally makes some friends, she doesn't correct them. But when people complain about dogs walking around without a leash the town is divided and Jo is caught in the middle. Will her new friends still like her when they discover the truth? And will the friendly shopping dog end up behind bars?
This comic is great for fans of realistic comics, especially dog lovers. Both Jo and the reader learn a great lesson in empathy and understanding other perspectives as the issue of whether off-leash dogs should be allowed is debated and finally brought to a resolution.

But when Moon and her mother move in to the small in-law unit on her family's property she quickly gains an appreciation for Moon's creative spirit and rebellious ways. When tragedy strikes and Moon needs a friend more than ever, will Christine be able to rise to the occasion?

When Amari's genius older brother goes missing, she never gives up hope of seeing him again. But she never expected that he'd send her a magical message along with an invitation to join the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. Amari has her eyes opened to the magical world that's been hiding in plain sight her whole life. She joins the summer program to train future agents, but she's warned that if she fails she'll have all her memories of the supernatural world erased before she's returned to her normal life. Amari is determined to stay in the program and learn the truth about her brother's disappearance, but it isn't easy to be the new scholarship kid competing with legacy candidates whose parents work for the bureau and have been studying their whole lives. Amari finds unusual and mysterious allies, but will it be enough when the same threat that her brother fought comes back to endanger them all?
This has a similar vibe to Harry Potter with a normal kid attending a magical school so that it's sure to appeal to Potterheads. But the story stands fully on its own with a unique setting and characters that in many ways surpasses Harry Potter's world. For starters this world is much richer for the diversity of its characters and its acknowledgement of real-world problems and how they filter into even magical worlds. The characters are fully developed, even the unsympathetic ones. The similarities between Amari's world and ours resonate on a powerful level as Amari fights stereotypes and discrimination in both. Highly recommended for young fantasy fans.

What kid doesn't love that fluffy, flossy, spun sugar?! Well today I am happy to share these fun Cotton Candy Cupcakes with everyone here at The Pinning Mama!
Hello! I am Abbie from Lovin' Our Chaos, where I blog about creating and crafting among the everyday chaos. I am also known as mom to my three kids, wife to my darling husband, and teacher to my Kindergarten students. I am a lover of God, life, big bows, feathers and all things sparkly. I'm so happy to be here for this exciting series for kids!
I don't know about you and your kids, but here at our house we love cotton candy! The only problem is that the giant cones of spun sugar are usually only found at fairs, carnivals, or if you are lucky enough to attend a party where they have it. My kids recently saw the little containers of cotton candy at the store and begged for me to buy some…but seriously that little container was only enough to give them each a tiny handful. But why not buy the cotton candy and use it to make some fun cupcakes?! My kids love to help me bake and I knew that they would love the extra 'fun' and flavor of cotton candy! Enjoy!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners and place to the side.
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter, sour cream, egg, yolks, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in the cotton candy until evenly distributed -do not over mix.
Get 3-4 small bowls scoop equal amount of cake mix in each bowl. Add 1 drop of food coloring to each bowl mixing until you get the desired color of choice.
Using a large spoon add a scoop of cake mix from each color filling the cupcake holder. Do not over fill.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla and melted cotton candy. Beat on medium high until light and fluffy add the remaining cream.
Get 3-4 small bowls fill with equal parts icing. Add food coloring to each of color of choice. Mix until completely blended to the color of choice.
Use a pastry bag and a LARGE Star tip: fill the pastry bag with scoops from each color of icing using your hand start at one spot on the cupcake ago around the edge with icing continue the motion building a cone shape and covering the whole cupcake.
Now place a small piece of cotton candy on top for decoration and voila…your kids will be in sugar heaven with these adorable and delicious Cotton Candy Cupcakes!
