Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
Reclusive neckbeard Timothy Berbee has exiled himself from the world, and spends his time huddled with the reckless, sinister population of a website called Amity. When they turn their collective poison on him, his life turns into a battle to reconnect with his lost humanity, and a race against his own apathy to save the life of a stranger.
Hunter was not happy, but he was finally at peace.
He carried the solemn fullness that follows having made a difficult decision, the type of problem that keeps a person up at night and kills the appetite.
His decision was final, absolute, and irreversible. All other doors were closed to him. All pathways out of the brambled maze he was stuck in were blocked or beyond his ability to find them. All doors were closed, save one, the last one: he was going to tie a nylon rope around his neck and jump from the Lakkey Creek train bridge. He was going to do it that morning.
In a plastic filing cabinet by his pressboard desk in his bedroom were letters from organizations in New York and Ohio and Washington DC informing him that, once he was formally accepted into a qualifying Title IV university, he would be given money to help pay his way. It was a free ride through undergraduate school and possibly more, but by no means was it free money--he had paid for those scholarships in advance through years of community service (including cleaning highway shoulders alongside DUIs and shoplifters), writing letters and essays, and keeping his nose sparkling clean. And he was certain to get into a good school, not just a
qualifying school; he was pretty sure his odds of getting into a top university like MIT or Stanford were certain. He had the scores and marks, and he had made the right decisions since sixth grade.
But all of that had been washed away in a matter of days and, as fate would have it, a good deal of Hunter's lifelong efforts in studying Newtonian physics in honors classes and learning research best-practices in invite-only study clubs would prove useful in helping prepare for an early death instead of a fulfilling life.
At 6'1", he knew how many foot-pounds of force were required to snap his neck. There was not much contemporary research on the subject, but several medical journals had, over the years, documented death-by-hanging, and the papers were not hard to find, nor were they difficult to follow for a non-medical person.
He knew the thickness and material of rope to use, one that would be least likely to slowly choke him to death with no fatal fracture, and would be least likely to decapitate him when the rope snapped taut. The ordeal would be hard enough on his parents without the added trauma of having to identify their son's remains by his severed head. He didn't want them to suffer any more than they had already.
There were two major factors in his decision, and his parents were neither of them. He liked his parents, and was pretty sure that they still liked him, too. They had been unfailingly supportive during his recent problems, and he appreciated that more than he could express.
The first factor was a girl named Yvonne. It was not her fault, though, and his five page suicide note detailed that very clearly. Her actions started it, but Hunter set the wheels toward oblivion into motion all on his own. Still, Hunter did not blame himself, either.
It was the other factor--the faceless demons that tormented him. They caused it all; it was all their fault, and there were no two ways around that. His blood would be on their hands, but he suspected that would be just fine with them.
When Yvonne broke his heart, he was angry. Angry enough to want some kind of vague, petty revenge, something to hurt her back--a virtual backhand to get her attention. Enough to let her know that he could bite back when dumped like some kind of middle school jerk. Hacking into her Facebook account and announcing that she had aborted a mixed race baby would be cruel enough--her Mormon parents would die in their chairs, he thought, and they would not allow Yvonne to be alone with a boy until she left home for college.
It was his Smart Voice that intervened and suggested that recruiting someone else for the task would be a good idea. With school acceptance letters so close to going out, it seemed wise to distance himself from any sort of trouble.
Hunter posted a short request on a website he secretly frequented, a place full of smart, vile creatures who loved to stir up trouble and lived to hack into Facebook accounts. In his post he asked for their help, and included Yvonne's name and a link to her Facebook account. The people who responded did not help him; instead, they drew him in like smoke and laid waste to his life. He thought that he was anonymous on the internet, but her name was all that they needed to find out who he was. The rest happened so fast that it was in motion before he realized that everything had gone south.
On the train bridge, Hunter tied the yellow rope around a blocky wooden tie and rotated the loop around so that the connecting knot faced downward--the direction of the impending tension. On the other end he tied a solid thirteen loop noose.
Even after making his peace with his decision, writing the letter, and saying a silent, lengthy prayer, the frustration was still close to the surface, and he sat on the edge of the bridge and cried again. He thought about the inhuman coldness with which the people he had once considered his online buddies had turned on him, the ease with which they had moved as one single destructive force. Within minutes of him posting the request, the hive-mind had decided that they would not help him torment Yvonne, and that they would, instead, torment him. They fabricated a story detailing how Hunter had spent a year of his young life in Juvenile Detention for molesting a five year old girl. Convincing pictorial evidence, official arrest, incarceration, and parole records on Williamsburg letterhead, and untraceable eyewitness testimonies of the non-existent crime appeared on the internet and in his email inbox within hours. He tried to shrug it off until he realized that they weren't just doing it to irk him; they wanted to smear him publicly. He was horrified, and asked them to stop; they redoubled their efforts when one of them found a list that Hunter had posted on Facebook of schools to which Hunter had applied. Of course, his family and friends would know it was not real; to everyone else, the evidence looked convincing and every bit of fact.
He fought the allegations for weeks. The story hit the local newspapers, and the phone rang endlessly with angry, concerned parents. When rejection letters arrived from all of his candidate schools, he knew that the game was up and he had lost. The scholarships, MIT, all of his long-tended plans had turned to ash, all because of one little post on a little-known website.
Hunter stood and brushed the seat of his pants, and wiped his cheeks dry with his sleeve. The noose felt heavy and smooth around his neck.
Stepping to the edge, he took one last breath of creosote-thick air.
The note in his backpack would be the last word on the subject, he knew, and his vindication would follow his death. It was the only way to have it.
Yvonne was blameless, he explained in the five page apology. It was not his parents' fault, and it was not the failings of an uncaring world.
It was Amity. Go there and you all will see the truth, he wrote.
Hunter stepped off of the edge into the chilly Virginia morning.
Tim, buddy, I need your help.
Timothy swung his chair around, licked the nacho cheese corn chip dust from his chubby fingers and pointed at a spot behind the man, back through the doorway he had just walked through.
Get the fuck out.
It was not the expected response, so the man with the white shirt and blue-striped tie repeated himself.
I need your help, Tim. Really. You know that report-
I'm serious, Timothy said, cutting him off.
Out. You need to fucking knock before you come in here, man.
The intruder considered himself of some importance at Valley Recovery Services, LLC, and was struggling with the idea of being told what to do by a chubby troll in a stained t-shirt, a sloppy creature who liked to pretend that a supply closet was a real office and that playing with computers was real work.
Oh, right. Yeah, sorry. Next time. You should maybe have a sign or a lock or something. Anyway, you know the report that you-
Uh uh, said Timothy,
get out and try again.
Look, sorry Tim. I only have a few minutes before my next meeting. Can I just tell you about a problem I'm having with this report?
Timothy issued a deep sigh that drew out over every bit of seven seconds. It was not a sound of resignation or reluctant acceptance. Without reservation, it said: now look what you've made me do. He jammed his hand wrist-deep into a pile of papers stacked on top of what presumably was his desk (there was no visible evidence of what actually lay beneath the piles, but
desk was as good a guess as any) and, like an aborigine in the Kuranda rainforest catching fish by hand, he extruded a yellow sticky note pad and a red felt tip pen, held tightly between his fingers.
The yellow and red flashed in the invader's eyes. The Red Pen was a thing of legend and fear in the company: it was the tool used to create the dreaded Red Note. It was whispered in the lunch room and behind locked doors that once your name was listed on a Red Note--a tool used exclusively by Timothy the Tech Guy against those who crossed him--that your computer, your files, your phone, the essence of your workday would all begin to unravel, very slowly, very deliberately, but in a way that could never be identified, never be fixed. Like a lame gazelle, the unfortunate notated would be rendered completely unproductive and, eventually, organizationally moot. It was technological voodoo at its worst. It happened rarely, but when it did it was career-fatal and untraceable back to Timothy.
Timothy, however, denied the whole thing as myth and insisted that the Red Notes were merely watch lists for him to keep track of
special needs employees.
In reality, it was a gob of horseshit that Timothy had devised years ago to keep stupid people from getting on his nerves. Computers and phones fail all of the time, particularly if left to neglect or if coaxed gently in a southward trajectory; and if he could use that to his advantage, it was, in his eyes, like getting one last burst of productivity out of failing hardware and/or a few more minutes of free entertainment from a rube on his way to the unemployment office.
The man in the blue tie backed through the doorway, easing it closed, one hand pulling the knob, the other pushing against the surface so as to not accidentally slam it or even give the impression of slamming. It latched with the gentleness of a kiss on a baby's cheek.
Knock knock.
Who is it?
It's me, said the man through the door.
It's Lawrence.
Come in.
Lawrence opened the door, looked at his watch, and opened his mouth to again make his request.
Oh, hey Larry, Timothy said, smiling.
What's up, man?
Small but visible beads of sweat formed on Lawrence's brow. Lumps on his jawbone pulsated.
OK, Lawrence said before he could be interrupted again,
that report you did for the Over-180 Work Queue in FlowTrakker? The one where you can pull up all of the outstanding accounts in order of either debt amount or record submission date?
Of course I do, Timothy said. He was elbow deep in his Ched-R-Cheez SnackyChip bag, digging through crumbs to find tangible chunks of SnackyChip matter.
Well, we need to be able to filter it by the street name of the debtor. But we need to show all of them on one report still. And we need to be able to show it and un-show it on one screen. Do you know what I mean?
Jesus, thought Timothy. Here we go.
I was thinking maybe some way to make a particular street name on the report show up in another color on demand, without leaving the report... Lawrence continued.
Say it. Just fucking say it.
We need a button.
Timothy slammed his hand down on a pile of papers, which caused a tectonic shifting of everything within a few feet.
So, said Lawrence,
can you do it?
Yeah, of course I can do it. But I won't.
What? We need this.
Just like you needed the button to make the letter 's' boldface on summary reports, or the button to toggle the user interface font between Times New Roman and Comic Sans?
Those were mission-critical functions.
They never got used. Ever.
Sure they did. I used them myself.
No you didn't. You know what happens when you click on the font-toggle button? You get a popup that says I (HEART) PANCAKES. Did anyone complain? Did anyone notice? Nope.
Lawrence looked at his watch again.
We need this, Tim. We need it by Thursday.
Before Timothy could say another word, Lawrence added:
Gary wants it.
Invoking the name of the company CEO, Gary Versant, to a low-ranking technical person like Timothy was like pulling a wreath of garlic on a vampire: vampires shriek like worn brake pads and fly away into the night; sysadmins sigh and agree to do work.
Fine. Fill out a PR-207 form and I'll work on it when I can.
You rock, Tim. Thanks, buddy. Lawrence left smiling, and slapped the wall on his way out like he was high-fiving the building.
Lawrence left the door open. Timothy stood and closed it, and flicked off the lights. His day had gotten gloomy, and he was in no mood for flickering, humming fluorescence.
He worked better in the dark, anyway.
The very moment Timothy heard Lawrence turning the doorknob, preparing to intrude on his space, Timothy's hand darted underneath his keyboard tray and felt for a toggle switch. With a flick, seven of nine the monitors in the room turned blank. The two that remained switched on flickered with activity: one displayed a terminal window--a black screen with green text where Timothy could enter system commands--and another screen that looked similar to the terminal window, but had a scrolling list of all of the programs running on a computer--presumably a computer buried somewhere in the room. This second screen had two uses: looking important and drawing attention from the other seven monitors in the room that were blank but still apparently useful enough to dedicate several feet of desk space to.
Taking a closer look at the list of processes on the latter display--something nobody ever did--would have revealed that there were over a dozen instances of the Firefox web browser open, an MP3 audio player, a video player paused five minutes and eleven seconds into a movie called
she_loves_to_gag_on_it.mpg, several BitTorrent file-sharing streams, and a very sizable amount of system resources allocated to an online game called Swords and Spells.
With Lawrence gone and the door locked, he flicked the toggle switch in the other direction, which sent a signal to a homemade switching box on the floor. The switching box sent a signal to the primary server, telling it that it was OK to resume normal operations. With a hum and a flash, the blank monitors came to life with dozens and layers and tabs of running programs.
He was back in his happy place: alone, surrounded by virtual friends.
The chromatic, multi-monitor glow made his face look inhuman; he could have been a bearded devil standing by a Christmas tree, or an alien sunbathing in the constantly shifting radiance of four competing suns, each burning at different points of the red shift.
He turned his attention to a monitor running Swords and Spells; his character, a ferocious-looking Death Elf named
tagrage, was bobbing up and down, awaiting Timothy's return. His party was gone.
He typed:
Above that, somebody named destinack had earlier typed:
He found his party--twelve colorful members of different fantastic species--and spent the next two hours questing across the lands of Goreblight. They spilled green blood from the bellies of goblins, slew demonic beasts with torrents of magical light thrown from the heavens, traded found coins for thicker armor and more effective weapons, and, in celebration of a successful campaign, rutted against shapely humanoid critters under Goreblight's triple moons.
At the two hour mark, tagrage logged out and once again became Timothy. The day was ticking away; it was time for Timothy to journey to the break room where vending machines dispensed PennyPop soda by the can or bottle, Salt 'n' Lime 'n' Chicken Flavor SnackyChips, and ice cream sandwiches (with or without nuts). It wasn't gold or magic armor, but it was pretty damn good stuff.
Timothy looked as natural slouching and scratching his bearded cheeks in front of a vending machine as he did slumped back in a chair with a keyboard on his lap. He crossed his arms across his lumpy chest; layers of fatty tissue caked across smallish arm bones bunched and folded under haggard flannel. Beneath the unbuttoned flannel shirt was t-shirt with a stretched collar and long-imprinted stains, and he wore cargo pants that sported as many pockets as could reasonably be sewn on. After six or seven minutes of contemplation, he chose the optimal lunch for the day: three bags of chips, two twenty ounce bottles of PennyPop, and a drumstick ice cream (sans nuts). He had no shame in eating the ice cream first--consuming the most environmentally vulnerable member of the meal was the logical thing to do. It was gone before he got back to his office. He walked down the hallway licking the remnants from his palm and fingers.
VRS's office was full of off-white office equipment and off-white cubicles and motel-quality artwork displayed on off-white walls. Close to one hundred and ten mostly off-white people roamed the halls five days a week, typing at keyboards, holding meetings, making phone calls, bathing in the smell of coffee and perfume in the morning, leftover lasagna and fish at lunchtime, and popcorn in the afternoon. It was consistent and tidy; Timothy was a splotch set against an otherwise neat pattern. He stood out despite his best efforts to stay in the shadows. Casting sideways glances, hoping to avoid inane casual conversation about sports and newborn babies and reality TV, he sneaked and skulked about the office. He knew that most people in the office thought of him as some kind of troll, and that satisfied him.
After lunch (at 1:15) he did some coding and some report-pulling, then had a snack. He answered a couple of tech support calls and ignored several more. He tried with all of his might to ignore the call of the plains of Goreblight and the

How is technology impacting student learning
Education has seen many technological advances over the last few decades. Studies have shown that technology improves performance and motivates students, making learning more meaningful. Combining education and technology creates a more stimulating learning environment and ameliorates confidence.
But has constant use of digital technology by the students, started to interfere with learning? There is certain urgency in answering this question. Today's overly digital generation calls for re-looking at the actual and potential relationship between technology and student learning.
[dciframe]http://prezi.com/embed/nbmv3hqidynu/,450,300,0,auto,border:1px solid blue;align:left;[/dciframe]
This interesting presentation on PREZI, created by JiEun Yoo, takes you through the effects of digital technology on learning.
There is a widespread belief among teachers that students' constant use of digital technology is hindering their attention span and ability to handle pressure when put forth with challenging tasks. Different surveys of teachers have revealed that today's students are not skilled enough to think critically or synthesize information they find with the aid of technology. Teachers who did not participate in the surveys re-emphasized their findings in interviews, adding that they had to work harder to capture and retain students' attention these days.
The research conducted by two well known research organizations Pew Research Center and Common Sense Media, studied that media use among children and teenagers ranging from 8 to 18 years age group has grown so much that on an average they spend twice as much time with screens as they spend in school. The researchers however note that their findings are subjective opinion of teachers and should not be taken as a conclusive proof that widespread use of digital gadgets affects students' ability to concentrate. However, the researchers who performed the studies, as well as scholars who study technology's impact on behaviour and the brain, emphasize that these studies are significant because of the vantage points of teachers, who spend hours a day observing their students.
Hope Molina-Porter, an English teacher in California, is worried that technology is deeply altering the way students learn. Having an experience of 14 years in teaching accelerated students, she has noted a marked decline in the depth and analysis of written work in her students. She wonders if teachers are adding to the problem by adjusting their lessons and teaching methods to accommodate shorter attention spans.
Many teachers have expressed the fact that today's relatively easy online research process has resulted in fewer original thoughts, less critical thinking, and not as much actual synthesis of information by their students. They point out that students find information online and just copy and paste them directly into documents, without adequately analyzing it. This not only elevates concerns about their understanding of concepts and practice of unfair plagiarism, but also worries some teachers that students are not developing adequate ability to think critically about the information they supposedly research on. A brief list of the areas of concern as seen by the teachers is given below:
- Students' overexposure to gadgets accompanied by the use of latest technology has resulted in multi-tasking that often contributes to lack of focus and weakened ability to retain knowledge.
- Students do not prioritize enough time for critical tasks, and often rely on the various digital tools available at their disposal, to waste time and procrastinate, giving rise to concerns over their time management skills.
- Some students' addiction to online gaming and video games exhausts their time and attention.
- Overexposure to digital technology is not really contributing to make students more technologically literate or more efficient.
- Students have grown so accustomed to getting quick answers with a few keystrokes that they are more likely to resign when an easy answer eludes them. Read more…

I was awakened Sunday morning in the usual way.
That is to say, David poked me with Alex's foot. When I rolled over to see what in the world they might want, David informed me Alex was hungry.
Alex has been starting to self-wean and has only been mildly interested in nursing in the morning lately. Case in point, on Saturday morning he tried to play me like a bongo rather than nurse.
So I was pleasantly surprised when he settled in to eat Sunday morning. When he finished he sat up as he has started doing post-meal. But then, he put his leg onto my tummy and shimmied up on to me.
Aw, how sweet, he's initiating snuggle time, I thought.
But then he swung his other leg up and over me. And then dropped down onto my other side. And then latched on.
What the hell?
I was extremely creeped out by the fact that Alex had apparently decided it was time for him to switch sides and just….did it.
Not as creeped out as I would be later in the day though.
We've got a pretty deep tub in our condo. I'd say it's about 22 inches deep. By comparison, Alex is about 28 inches tall. He's gotten to the age where he takes baths in the tub by himself and I kneel over the side to wash him. No more tandem bathing in our house.
So I'm washing him when suddenly he pitches his little yellow fishie over the side of the tub.
Yes, folks, I know it's a little weird that he's got a yellow rubber fishie not a yellow rubber ducky but that's what he's got. Focus, please.
So, quick as a wink, his little behind stands up and throws his knee up 22 inches or so and tosses that leg over the side of the tub. He lays momentarily still on top of the tub.
He then swings his second leg over and slides down the outside wall of the tub.
I can see a plethora of ways that this is going to come back again and again to bite me in the behind. I'm not joking when I say I'm a little bit terrified that my 9 month old can scale the tub walls.
Really, it was like watching soldiers in basic training scale one of those walls.
Except that my "soldier" was a baby. It was a person who cannot walk yet but can scale walls.
Then I read Funny or Snot's post and was extremely jealous. A child that needed tips on wall scaling? So desirable.
So yeah. A plethora of potential problems just swam before my eyes.

Panopticon – an "inspection house" or a prison design in which all inmates can be watched from a single point without the inmates knowing whether or not they are currently being watched. The intended effect is that in order not to be in violation of the rules, the inmates must act as though they are being watched at all times.
Cell Phone – the same thing (if you're a teenager).
Now, while you may disagree with this parallel, what many families describe is in fact this scenario. That is, the parent states that they pay for the cell phone and have given it to their teenager to ensure their safety, and in return expect an increase in the communication between them and their teen. Basically they want periodic check-ins; usually at the immediate behest of the parent. However, while most teenagers say "yeah, yeah" to these expectations, they do so in the same manner and with the same distain that most of us 'agree' to those annoying legal terms of usage on the majority of our smart phone apps.
And here is the discrepancy between what you and your teenager see as both the purpose of the phone and who has ownership. Whatever your teenager is saying to you, you must believe they do not see it as your phone, any more than they see the underwear they are wearing as your underwear. Just because you paid for it doesn't make it yours. And this concept of ownership extends to the conditions and purpose of usage. The conditions and purpose of usage of most things is determined by who in practicality owns them, where possession is 9/10th's of the law.
A teenager sees the primary purpose of a cell phone as a necessary tool to stay current, up to date, and relevant within their chosen – and desired – peer group. This is done by direct communication, group communication, sideline communication, and browsing and commenting on trends. It is not done by communication with parents. For many teens, without this tool they are simply not relevant. To the extreme, they panic over missing out and the phone allows them not to miss a thing (it's actually the ease at which info is shared that causes the panic, but that's another topic). The majority of teens do NOT see the phone as a safety tool, or a life line to their parents which they can use to access your wisdom and support when faced with challenging decisions.
So what's the remedy for parents who are fighting with their teens about their cell phone use? Should they reasonably expect compliance that the teen answer whenever they call? Even just to 'check in'? And by extension, should the parent have the right to confiscate the phone if it is not used primarily for this purpose? The answer starts with an honest and appreciative review of both party's needs and wants with respect to the phone. Consider what it was like, as an adult with your young child in tow, talking with a colleague or sales clerk just to have your child interrupt with, "momma? Momma? Momma!?" Is it possible they are experiencing the same feelings when their phone rings while engaged with a group of their peers?
So what is truly at issue is whether or not they are respecting your expectations of informing you where they are, and when they'll be home. And this is where the discussion needs to lie. If this is why you plan to get them a phone, don't. It's a set up for both of you. Getting them a phone is a great way to celebrate that they are a responsible young person capable of handling the responsibility of (age appropriately) using a phone. And if you take their phone away for not checking in, they're not learning about time management, respectful communication, or empathy; all skills that are necessary to navigate successful relationships.
And that last point is the real key. If you are simply trying to get compliance on your rules for the phone that you pay for, there is no modelling of respectful communication or empathy. Start with knowing who they are (rather than who you currently want them to be), and then build expectations together that do not violate or directly conflict with their needs (and situational reality), while still meeting your expectations. And a hint; you have to trust them in order for them to learn these important skills. If you're giving them a phone because you don't trust them, trust me. They know you don't. And the remedy to building trust between you and your teen is never through threat of sanction.

Introduction Social Media Business Plan
This CrowdFire review discusses whether CrowdFire is a Worthwhile tool to help construct your social media after. In addition, I demonstrate just how it's helped me enhance my Twitter existence for this website! Social Media Business Plan
Some Type Of social media after is a must for the majority of businesses. However, getting things going past the starting blocks (and beyond a handful of followers who are mostly family and friends), may feel like an uphill battle.
CrowdFire came to my attention Once I looked For a way to build up my Twitter account. I've been using it myself now for many months, and I'm quite pleased with the results. I am therefore pleased to finally get around to sharing them. So let's begin.
Click here to subscribe to Crowdfire now!
What is CrowdFire?
CrowdFire Is a online utility which"plumbs in" to your social media accounts. It has functionality for LinkedIn Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook. CrowdFire helps you automate the tasks involved in gradually growing a following on social media.
For example, when I first set up the Twitter Account for this site, I would spend some time daily identifying people in the home freelancing and working niches, and follow along in the hope they socialize with me later on and would accompany me back. CrowdFire makes it possible to find these individuals and makes it quick to include them. Even more usefully, it makes it possible to keep tabs on those who don't follow you back or those who are not really worth pursuing and inactive, which means that you may keep the record.
It will A lot more besides; It finds relevant content you are able to share to help you keep your accounts busy and alive, indicates tweaks to your accounts to help them function better, and does it all with a very contemporary"bot" style interface that only takes a few minutes each day to manage.
I'm in case you're not starting to guess Quite a lover of CrowdFire — and you probably will be. Particularly when I tell you that the best aspect of : subject to a limitations, it is possible to get started for free using it. Social Media Business Plan
Does CrowdFire work?
After Granting CrowdFire permission to handle your desirable social media accounts (I mostly use it for Twitter), all you really need to do is get into the service once daily and follow the instructions it provides you.
For Example it is going to give me a selection of content that is relevant to choose from to share on my deadline. It will suggest some reports for me in after me, because they have not reciprocated to unfollow. Next, I'll find a list of proposed new accounts to follow since they're fans of similar folks in my niches, or because they've been tweeting about keywords that are relevant.
On some Days, I'll get additional jobs, like feeding in more relevant keyword phrases, checking my automatic message to individuals who accompany me, or checking that the info in my"About" section stays applicable. 1 feature I particularly like is that when the system finds I maintain dismissing a job, it will provide me the option of suspending it so it doesn't bother me with it.
Everything's Done with a very friendly interface, and it literally only takes a few minutes a day to manage.
CrowdFire Results
What CrowdFire essentially does for me is Completely automate a task which was previously taking 20 minutes a day (and often not getting done because of other pressures). But I can always grab two minutes every day to perform it.
Most Importantly, my follower rely on Twitter continues to grow at a good rate, and rises with followers they're people I know are considering design and homeworking.
I decided to Begin tracking my number of Twitter followers, in addition to the number of individuals I am after. (Keeping this ratio in line is important when you wish to maintain the"Twitter police" pleased with you!)
30 days of Utilizing CrowdFire fostered my follower count . I am after 801 people now, but that amount would be higher if I did not have the ability to unfollow men and women that aren't currently engaging with me. Social Media Business Plan
It's also important to reemphasize my Followers are decent followers, who are interested in the sort of stuff my tweets about. They are followers that click through the website , retweet them , and interact such as them. This is important, if none of those people ever look at your content, since there's no point having a follower number for vanity.
The numbers above prove I Can continue doing What I'm doing and steadily increase my Twitter following (at least till I'm following 5000 people( when things get a little more difficult). As you can see below, I've recently tipped on the 2000 mark!
These Numbers make CrowdFire worth every penny. And it is possible to do this with the version that is free also — albeit at a rate unfollow constraints.
What Crowdfire Does Favorably
Users who gave Crowdfire a Positive review stated that the program is a fantastic tool for scheduling posts. They also shared that it permits them to monitor their community and include the followers of their competitors.

CrowdFire Downsides
When I Sat down to write this, I knew I would fight with drawbacks, and in typing this up having reached this point, that stuggle remains!
1 change that has bugged me is that you utilized To be in a position to bang down on the mouse button to trace or unfollow people en masse. CrowdFire recently changed so that you now have to scroll down and click each green"plus" icon in turn (as shown in the screenshot below).
This is A fantastic thing, because it ensures you at least glance at. It stops you treating the entire thing as an exercise that is automatic and being lazy. But it has made it all take a bit longer.
But I have to be honest — this is a little criticism, And that I can not think of anything else to moan about. CrowdFire is one of those tools that is really easy to advocate. Social Media Business Plan
Most Helpful Favorable User Review

Crowdfire FAQ
Can Crowdfire provide a free trial?
There was no mention of a Free trial on Crowdfire's web site. But interested users may subscribe to their free plan and start using their services instantly.
Can I cancel my paid subscription anyhow?
Yes. You can cancel your paid Subscription still and anytime continue using your program until the end of their current billing period. Following that, your account will be converted to the program.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my paid subscription anytime?
You will have to wait till The end of your current billing period before you can upgrade or downgrade your subscription. However, you might speak to the Crowdfire support team from within the program if you need the account modification.
CrowdFire Cost
As I just Said, CrowdFire is available subject to some limitations, but there are a few premium choices available.
It's Possible to try out what CrowdFire offers without spending any money in any way, but as you can see from the aforementioned, you're limited to one account per networking. You're also restricted in terms of how a lot of people / unfollow each day can be followed by you, and suggested content you're given to share.
I used The free version of CrowdFire for a few weeks, in tandem with performing some following. Following this period I was very much convinced it had been well worth spending five dollars to the time I would save by doing everything using CrowdFire. I like that you can genuinely"try before buying."
Furthermore, For people managing plenty of social media accounts (perhaps with a company specialising in this sort of job ), the Premium and VIP choices (at $7.99 per month and $33.32 per month respectively) are excellent value.
CrowdFire Review: Wrap-up
So that Brings us to the conclusion of the (rather optimistic ) review.
Utilizing CrowdFire is a bit of a"no brainer" if you're eager to build up your social media profile. It helps you do the type of things a social media service would bill you for, however for free or at a low cost.
It pays dividends to pay attention to Who you are following, and it's obviously crucial if you are likely to keep them interested that you provide content to your followers. Employing CrowdFire does not do everything for you!
But should You've got the appropriate intentions for your social media, CrowdFire is a very Good way to speed the advancement across, rather than awaiting your following To grow gradually and organically. Social Media Business Plan

Subsequently he only made three solo studio albums, including this one, before his death in 1991. Johnny abandoned these recording sessions early, leaving confused others to complete the album without him. Now two unused tracks and more have been discovered on the multitrack tapes, and the whole album given a powerful remix by ex-Vibrators' guitarist Pat Collier. Additionally, six unreleased studio outakes feature on one side of the bonus album including two unissued songs, and five unreleased live tracks on the other.

This article proposes a PRNN/ERLS-based predictive QoS-promoted dynamic bandwidth allocation (PQ-DBA) scheme for upstream transmission in Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) systems. The proposed PQ-DBA scheme originally divides incoming packets of voice, video, data service traffic into six priorities, where packets having less room before QoS requirements violation or being in starvation situation will be dynamically promoted to high priority cycle-by-cycle. It predicts packets arriving at prediction interval for ONUs using pipeline recurrent neural network (PRNN)/extended recursive least squares (ERLS) so that the bandwidth allocation can be more up-to-date and then accurate. Simulation results show that the proposed PQ-DBA scheme achieves higher system utilization and lower average voice, video, data packet delay time than the DBAM scheme [Luo and Ansari, OSA J Opt Netw 4(9):561–572] by 4, and 21, 90, 43%, respectively, and the PQ-DBA scheme but without prediction by 2, and 26, 29, 34%, respectively.

A few days ago I finished a book by Jonathan Daugherty called "Secrets." I have to
admit, initially it was difficult for me to relate to some of the things he decribed in
his history. He was "in the church" all of his life, yet he had very deep dark secrets. I
tried to compare his story with my own to gain a better frame of reference. I could
relate to the fact that he was a child when his life was turned upside down by a trauma.
He did not ask for the effect the trauma had on him. It made me angry and sympathetic
but I could not relate to his absolute secrecy and double life style for so many years.
The obstacles I had, I found wer'e because I tried to relate from a "Christian"
perspective and I tried to relate from a woman's perspective. Because I told someone
of my trauma early in my life and because I had too much respect for God even as a
young person to be a hypocrite I was irritated knowing that he went through the motions
for so long. That was my problem and I find it to be so many "Christian's" problem. I
assure you I got over my problem by the time I finished reading his story. When I got to
the part were his wife left him, he fell apart and God heard his cry, I could totally relate!
I teared up, I rejoiced with him and I praised the Lord because I remembered my
own restoration experience. As I reflected on this I was reminded of our frailties as
human beings, how we are lost without God and accepted anew the realitiy that I didn't
need to relate to everything he experienced. What mattered most was that I like him,
came to realize how much I needed the Lord, how much the Lord loved me and
how absolute his grace is! I am planning to purchase extra copies of this book to have
on hand and to keep in our library. Women, you need to read this man's story. I can
truely say Jonathan enlightened me about this "men's issue" and truely blessed my soul!
Men, I'm sure you will relate better than us, your counterparts. Read and be blessed.
Minister Diane Jones.

Who knew there were so many meanings for the term "Fat Tuesday?"
Down south, New Orleanians and other sinful revelers are celebrating Mardi Gras, the last day you have to get all of the sins out of your system before you have to repent from all of them on Ash Wednesday.
King Cake, a flaky, cinnamon roll-like dessert is served along with the booze and the beads through the Mardi Gras season up until Fat Tuesday.
In the U.K. and Australia, Tuesday is Pancake Day — the last chance you are allowed to eat rich foods before you are supposed to give them up for Lent.
To the Pennsylvania Dutch, today is Fasnacht Day, or Doughnut Day. Traditionally, the fasnacht is made from all of the ingredients that are supposed to be forsaken during Lent: sugar, butter, eggs and flour. The doughnuts can be round with or without a hole, diamond-shaped or twisted. Fasnachts can be covered in powdered sugar or cinnamon, or stuffed with cream or peanut butter.
While many of these traditions are to be adhered to for religious reasons, Fasnacht Day brings a more ominous element to the Lenten season: If you don't eat a doughnut today, you will have bad luck and/or lice for the rest of the year, or so goes the Czech superstition.
"It's the same as Mardi Gras — it is a crazy superstition," said Victoria, a director of government affairs on K Street, and the woman who warned The Daily Caller about the consequences of failing to eat a Czech pastry today. "I am actually searching to buy a doughnut right now."
As long as you get yourself to Krispy Kreme before the day is over, you should remain lice-free for the rest of the year. (This is not a guarantee — we don't know what you do in your spare time.)
