comment écrire un bon profil de médias sociaux
Si vous n'avez pas de marque, vous n'avez pas de vie. Cela est particulièrement vrai sur les médias sociaux. Plus votre profil sur les médias sociaux est grand, meilleures sont vos chances de réussir dans votre vie personnelle et dans votre entreprise. Aujourd'hui, nous allons examiner la meilleure façon de stimuler votre profil de médias sociaux, de sorte qu'il résistera à l'examen des cyniques et éblouir le vaste monde. Et rappelez-vous, la soi-disant «vérité» sur les médias sociaux est aussi souple qu'un serpent sans squelette! Qu'est-ce qu'il y a dans un nom? Votre nom d'utilisateur est la clé pour que d'autres personnes vous trouvent sur les réseaux sociaux. Si vous voulez qu'ils affluent vers vos sites, réfléchissez à deux fois avant d'utiliser quelque chose comme httr: //twitter.com/boogerbreath. Certaines poignées qui auraient plus de succès sont des variations sur des noms d'utilisateurs tels que FreeBeer ou IGIveMoneyAway. Votre photo de profil Avouons-le; la plupart des gens sont aussi simples que cinq milles de mauvaise route. Ainsi, le but d'une image de profil de médias sociaux est de CACHER vos caractéristiques naturelles, pas les AFFICHER. Cela peut être fait en portant un masque de ski coloré. Ou photoshopping une vieille photo de Tom Cruise, en ajoutant une moustache et / ou des seins. Bio con brio Le secret d'une grande bio sur les médias sociaux est de se concentrer sur des affirmations qui ne peuvent être prouvées, d'une manière ou d'une autre. Par exemple, si vous dites que vous avez un diplôme en philosophie de l'Union théologique de Washington, qui, selon Wikipedia, a définitivement disparu en 2015, comment quelqu'un pourrait-il appeler votre bluff? Ou vous pouvez prétendre avoir passé votre enfance à collecter des excréments d'éléphants au cirque Ringling Brothers pour faire un don aux jardins urbains. Depuis qu'ils ont plié leurs tentes et disparu il y a six mois, qui sait mieux?

die Geburt eines Baby Bot
Bots sind genau wie das Wetter, wie von Mark Twain erzählt; Jeder redet darüber, aber niemand tut etwas dagegen. Nun, heute werden wir nicht nur darüber reden, sondern etwas dagegen unternehmen. Wir werden erklären, wie Bots erstellt werden. Und sobald der Social-Media-Nutzer diese Informationen zur Hand hat, ist es nur ein kleiner Schritt zur Herstellung von Counter-Bots und Anti-Bots und Hacker-Bots und Ersatz-Bots. Denn Wissen ist Macht, und Macht ist immer besser als ein Stachel im Auge mit einer scharfen Bemerkung. Was ich meiner Meinung nach auch Mark Twain gesagt hat. Dieser Typ konnte nicht den Mund halten.
Bevor es einen Bot geben kann, muss es einen kleinen Algorithmus geben, der auf ein schönes junges Software-Programm trifft. Wenn die beiden es schaffen und davonrennen, um zu heiraten, ist das Ergebnis normalerweise ein Baby-Bot innerhalb der nächsten neun Nanosekunden.
Der Säuglingsroboter nimmt sehr viel Pflege und Nahrung auf, um die Reife zu erreichen. Es muss gebadet, gefüttert, geärgert und gelehrt werden, den Unterschied zwischen richtig und falsch zu kennen, damit es den Unterschied ignorieren kann. Sobald es von Neutrinos entwöhnt ist, ist es bereit zu kriechen - und merkwürdigerweise lernen Bots nie zu laufen, sondern bleiben wie Spinnen über das ganze Netz kriechen. Sie beginnen bereits eine Woche nach ihrer Geburt damit, ihre Umgebung zu analysieren und sind bereit, Daten abzunehmen, sobald sie in der High School sind - was sie nie besuchen, da sich ihre Eltern getrennt haben und zum Halidon Collider emigriert sind in der Schweiz.
Die Lebensdauer eines Bot beträgt ca. sechs Monate. Danach wandern sie instinktiv auf den Bot Graveyard irgendwo in Afrika, wo ihre Elfenbeinstoßzähne in der tropischen Sonne bleichen. . .

comment devenir un influenceur de médias sociaux
"Vous obtenez ce que vous payez" est un adage plus ancien que les Pyramides d'Egypte ou Windows 8.1. Et les influenceurs des médias sociaux trouvent cela plus vrai que jamais, quand il s'agit d'acheter des abonnés. Le marché des abonnés payants n'a jamais été aussi chargé qu'aujourd'hui, quand tout le monde, des aspirants de la Maison-Blanche à Hollywood, se vante d'avoir des adeptes parmi des centaines de milliers sur Twitter et Facebook. Aujourd'hui, une célébrité sans médias sociaux qui suit un million de dollars est évitée comme un lépreux. En fait, il n'est plus nécessaire d'avoir un talent ou une capacité quelconque pour devenir un influenceur des médias sociaux - tout ce dont vous avez besoin est assez d'adeptes, et les entreprises vont battre votre porte pour vous parrainer leur produit. Alors, comment obtient-on assez de disciples? Je pensais que tu ne demanderais jamais: Soyez prêt à bien payer Évitez les organisations qui promettent des partisans gazillion pour quelques dollars par mois. Sinon, vous vous retrouvez avec des noms comme I.P. Freely et Otto Focus sur votre liste. Vous devriez être prêt à dépenser au moins vingt dollars par mois pour que votre liste inclue des noms comme George Washington et Mahatma Gandhi. Aime-moi, aime mes robots! Les robots sont aussi des gens, vous savez. Traitez donc ces innombrables robots infestant vos sites de médias sociaux avec amour et compassion en sacrifiant un coq noir pendant la pleine lune, en sauvant le sang pour Andrew Zimmern sur Travel Channel. Utilisez ces mots clés dans tous vos posts sur les réseaux sociaux: Kardashian. Atout. Bitcoin. Rutabaga. Nostradamus. Chou frisé. Unilever. Meghan Markle. et Deracinate. Vous aurez tellement de vrais adeptes que vous devrez les battre avec un bâton.

The Candy of My Youth
My mother kept a candy dish on the coffee table in the living room.
It was for adult company, not for children. Though I doubt she
kept exact count of how many pieces of All Sorts were in the
dish at any given moment, she did have an uncanny knack of
knowing just when my stealthy hand had been picking through
the mix for a yellow coconut piece.

the mix for a yellow coconut piece.
“Have you been at the candy again?” she would sternly inquire.
“So what if I have, old lady -- what’s it to you?” I’d sneer back
(in my imagination -- in real life I just grizzled a bit and promised
never to do it again.)

I have no doubt that mothers the world over all have the exact
same objection to good honest delicious candy -- “You’ll spoil
your appetite for dinner!”

your appetite for dinner!”
As a steadily maturing adult, I have exploded that particular
bugaboo entirely. I often start my noonday repast with a Mounds
bar or a handful of malted milk balls. Such a treat works like a
non-alcoholic aperitif, and I enjoy my salami/anchovy sandwich
with potato chips that much more. Before my evening meal a
generous helping of french burnt peanuts or Raisinettes gives a
distinct relish to my poached egg and ramen noodles.

But you’ll never convince a mother, any mother, that a Kit Kat
bar prior to the spinach souffle might entice the little nippers to
eat their veggies hearty.

And, at least with my own mother, candy was just plain wrong
on general principles because it brought me so much pleasure.
My mother belonged to that strait-laced generation that believed
happy children were either wasting time or sowing wild provender.
A dutiful sobriety was called for in children at all times.

Certainly wasting time was one of the main pleasures of candy
when I was a boy. Wayne Matsuura and I would sit on my front
porch, with jawbreakers rolling around inside our mouths, taking
them out from time to time to see the color gradually dissolve from
red to blue to green to orange. This seemed like absorbing work to
our picayune minds. Candy button sheets were another reliable
source of entertainment; you picked them off, one at a time,
attempting to get as little paper as possible with each button.
If not done carefully I’d have to spit out the paper pulp like a
watermelon seed.

Harry’s grocery on the corner sold miniature wax soda bottles
filled with colored sugar water. After drinking the liquid, I could
chew contentedly on the wax like a cow for blissful hours on end.

Though my tastes in candy were liberal and catholic, I never
could quite cotton to the many peanut-based candies around,
like the salted nut rolls handed out by ersatz Santas at Christmas
or the stash of peanut brittle my mother bought at Powers
Department Store to nibble on when she tried to quit smoking.
I prefered anything with chocolate and coconut. And marshmallow --
although after viewing one of Don Herbert’s “Watch Mr. Wizard” tv
shows where he put a marshmallow in a vacuum jar and pumped
out all the air, causing the marshmallow to expand to the size of
a basketball, I grew obsessed with the fear that I might someday
be eating a bag of Peeps and suddenly be sucked into the vortex
vacuum of a tornado and thus explode into sticky white pulp.

Bubble gum was exempt from my mother’s interdiction, since
there was nothing to swallow. I always bought the Bazooka brand,
because each wrapped piece contained a Bazooka Joe comic
panel on waxed paper. I fondly recall one panel where Bazooka
Joe is wearing a belt made of clocks and one of his sidekicks tells
him it’s a “waist of time.” When you’re six years old, it doesn’t
get much funnier than that.

Of course Halloween was my saturnalia of sugar -- all the candy
I could collect and carry; so damn the cavities, full speed ahead!
Back in the Eisenhower era adults at least had some idea of how
to celebrate the day with overflowing generosity. There were none
of those wretched bite-size bars or disappointing candy kisses that
are palmed off on kids today. No siree bob! My bag was filled
to the brim with full-size Hershey bars, homemade popcorn balls,
gigantic all-day suckers, caramel apples, big bags of M&Ms and
candy corn, log-size Tootsie Rolls, and hefty boxes of Dots or
Milk Duds. (Just writing about such wonderful sweet excess makes
me think I should get my blood sugar checked right away . . . )

The ne plus ultra of candy in my neck of the woods was a box of
Fanny Farmer assorted chocolates. They only appeared at
Christmas, when my dad would bring home a one pound box
on Christmas Eve. We children were allowed to pick one piece,
just one, out of the red satin innards of the box -- and I always
seemed to choose the one with maple nut nougat, which I
thoroughly despised. To me, maple was not a candy flavor
at all. One year I finally got fed up with this state of affairs,
and when no one was looking I surreptitiously took a bite
out of half a dozen pieces until I found one with a creamy
coconut center, which I scarfed down in a trice. The resulting
furor when my clandestine gnawing was discovered sent me to
bed early, with a grim warning that Santa would be informed of
my malfeasance -- which just might interfere with his
open-handed spirit that year.

I slept badly that night, as only a greedy and guilty little boy can,
but the next morning proved that the jolly old fat gent had not
stinted despite my crimes. I got a Wham O Air Blaster, an
Erector Set, and a stocking full of chocolate coins wrapped
in gold foil. Having demolished the chocolate coins in one
piggish sitting, I declined the waffles mom had made that
morning for breakfast. And for once, thank heavens, nobody
prated at me about spoiling my appetite.

Explaining my Shopping List
I could go grocery shopping every day, and never feel bored or weary. I love to see the latest wrinkle in pastas, produce, and pickles. But like the gambler in Las Vegas or the bookworm in Barnes & Noble, I have to pace myself lest I blow the rent money.
Having spent all morning today writing light verse, haiku, and a brief memoir about telemarketing for Time/Life Books, I felt I deserved a break, a respite from the cares of literary tomfoolery. So my little blue cart and I traipsed off to Fresh Market, just two blocks away. But I did not just dash out the door, helter-skelter, no indeed! I first sat down and used the back of a discarded outside envelope from some importunate bill collector to make up my list.
And, for the most part, I stuck to it. I attempted to group together everything I would need until next Saturday, so I would not be tempted to go back during the week for a fresh bagel or some of their excellent fried chicken. Here's the breakdown:
1 can frozen orange juice. $1.59
1 can white grape juice. $1.89
1 bag baking soda. $1.79 -- I use it both in my laundry and when I soak my feet. Much cheaper than Epsom salts.
1 small jar mayonnaise. $2.49. I needed it for my chicken pasta salad I'm serving before Sacrament Meeting here in the lobby tomorrow. I could have gotten a huge jar of a different brand for $2.99, but I already have a jar of jalapeno mayonnaise I'm using on my sandwiches. Too much mayonnaise in the fridge has led to some unfortunate culinary experiments in the past.
4 packages of Ramen noodles, pork flavored. $1.00
1 box bow tie pasta. $1.69
1 bottle of Shasta orange soda. 59 cents
1 can white meat chicken. $2.89
1 jar orange marmalade. $3.49 (Pricey!)
1 can mushroom stems & pieces. 77 cents
1 can sliced black olives. $1.49
1 lb sliced beef heart. $2.90. Much cheaper than hamburger, which was originally on my list because it's so versatile. But beef heart, when pounded a while, fries up just as tender and savory as hamburger. I'll use it for sandwiches.
1 package Canadian bacon. $2.99. I've been frying up a lot of bacon the last two weeks, so thought I'd better switch to something less greasy.
1 roll paper towels. 99 cents.
1 gallon 2% milk. $1.99
1 package American cheese slices. $2.49
1 bunch celery. $1.29
1 pack mini carrots. $1.69. I'm really proud of this purchase, which I bought instead of the potato chips I had listed, to eat with my sandwich. When I'm engrossed in a sandwich and a book, as I often am, I really don't care what I eat with the sandwich. So why not raw veggies? They're actually cheaper than chips. Time will tell how much gas and indigestion they leave me with, as they have done in the past.
1 dozen large eggs. $1.79
1 box Eskimo pies. $2.49
1 loaf white bread. $2.59
I'm really proud of myself for not buying any pickles. I love 'em, but even a small jar of gherkins is getting outrageously expensive.
My food stamps came in yesterday, so I used them to partially pay for these groceries. I'd forgotten to use my stamps last month, so added to this month it came to $36.00. So I only had to pay a little over eleven bucks cash for my groceries today. My Social Security won't come in for another week at least, so I'm gonna have to make do with what I've got on hand. (I'm holding back a ten spot in case the grand kids want to go see Incredibles 2 and ask me to come along.)
Another Artist Attacked by Trumpinistas
Tribune Review
There once was an artist named Rob
Whose cartoons did cost him his job.
His Trump illustrations
Were called aberrations
By a redacting lynch mob.
