Wraithvine, Lilibit, and Gikka meet a person who is deep in depression and drinking themselves into an early grave. And stops them before they end up destroying their life. -- Anon Guest

Gikka didn't dip into the Hellkin's pockets. One of the rules of Wraithvine was not to steal from people who were already going through enough. Hellkin were automatically in that category most of the time, but this one was having a worse time than normal.

She was drunk and unhappy, steadily imbibing assorted liquors as if it were her job. And, because she was a Hellkin, was generating an aura of shadows surrounding her. Like a cloud of doom.

Giving her money might solve her problems, but it may also make them worse. Gikka looked to Wraithvine, who nodded.

Life Expectancy takes a big hit due to Covid-19

Covid-19 has caused the biggest decrease in life expectancy among people from most developed nations including The United States and the United Kingdom since the second world war. In fact, United States has had the biggest impact with some Western European countries close behind. The normal pattern with life expectancy around the world is a gradual but steady increase. It is the first time in 40…

This is an excerpt from The Average Lifespan Of Your Posts On Social Media Channels

Do you know how long is the average lifespan of your posts on social media channels you use?

Since the social media is rapidly growing and constantly evolving, it is essential to understand. Knowing this, you can easily get more insights about how often you should post on your channels.

Since the social media is rapidly growing and constantly evolving, it is essential to understand the lifespan of your social media posts. Knowing this, you can easily get more insights about how often you should post on your channels.

Consistency is the key element to a complete social media strategy. No matter which social media channel you are using, you should be posting consistently. When developing your marketing strategy, posting frequency is a big challenge. You need to optimize it to reach and engage your audience enough for staying on top but without being boring. It is a tricky balance since every social media channel has its own posting frequency rules. Sounds complicated, right? Let’s take a look at the average lifespan of some of the social media channels.

Twitter

 The lifespan of this social media channel moves the fastest. The average lifespan of one tweet is considered to be 18 minutes. That’s why you see so many people posting a lot on Twitter.

You may have also noticed that some people are posting the same tweet at different times of the day. Twitter is maybe the only social media channel where it is okay to do this. You can achieve this by scheduling your tweets and reusing them at different times of the day. You can easily do this by using Populizr’s scheduling types: Promotional, Standard, and Evergreen.

 You can also make a Custom scheduling time for Twitter where you can choose to run your social media campaign from 1 day up to 1 year.

Misuse of the “Average Lifespan” Statistic.

To imply that humans a few centuries ago were just dropping dead before the age of 50 (Looking at you, History Channel!) is a gross misunderstanding of exactly what that statistic means.

“Average Lifespan” = “Average Lifespan at Birth”

You know what that includes? Infant mortality.

That’s right. This statistic--cited directly--is ridiculously skewed. 

This statistic is not saying that 30-year-olds were “elderly” for a given time period. It’s saying that, when you take infant mortality, traumatic injury, disease, etc. into account, the total average lifespan is a given number. (Again, this includes babies who may have died days or even hours after birth.)

In other words, most people aren’t dying of old age.

That is a good question! The easy/short answer is that they molt until they're mature. Unless you watch a spider from the day they hatch, onward, it's really tricky- to impossible- to tell how old they are. And since you said "he", I'm assuming you've correctly identified him by his palps- those boxing gloves on the ends are the best indicator of a male for most spiders. 

The gender is important because females almost always live longer than males. Since the main purpose of the male spider is to mate, he dies not too long after that goal is achieved. I could better answer your question if you knew what genus your spider was. Or, better still, had some photos of him. Then I could look into the average lifespan for that specific spider.

Lookout Finds 62% of People Hoard at Least One Old Mobile Phones

Old Mobile Phones-62% of People Hoard at Least One

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This holiday season, 33 million new smartphones1 will hit store shelves, and people everywhere will upgrade to new devices. Mobile phones have an average lifespan of 18 months2, so what happens to the old mobile phones, and the personal information on the phones, when they are retired for the next best device? Lookout, mobile security leader and makers of an app that helps people safeguard their phone and their data even if it is lost or stolen, conducted a survey3 to learn more about the growing old mobile phones problem.

“Before you donate, resell or recycle your old mobile phones, it’s important to take steps to remove the data so if your phone gets a new owner, your information doesn’t get exposed.”

Lookout found that there is a mountain of unwanted, unused old mobile phones in households across the country. If the unwanted old mobile phones in the U.S. were to physically be lined up, there would be an old mobile phone trail from San Francisco to the North Pole and back.

62% said they have at least one unused old mobile phone in their household (21% have one, 21% have two, 9% have three).

Some hoard more than others: 11% said they have four or more unused old mobile phones in their household.

Despite an increasing number of alternatives to dispose of old mobile phones, there are a number of reasons why people leave them unused in drawers and cupboards.

Nearly 1 in 3 said they just don’t know what to do with their old mobile phones.

13% said they are concerned about the information on the old phone being exposed.

17% said they have not yet erased the information on their old mobile phones.

“We were surprised to learn how many people hold on to old phones. People are concerned about the personal information living on the device, and we suspect it contributes to why people are still holding on to it,” said Jenny Roy, mobile safety advocate at Lookout. “Before you donate, resell or recycle your phone, it’s important to take steps to remove the data so if your phone gets a new owner, your information doesn’t get exposed.”

In the U.S., it’s estimated that fewer than 11% of discarded mobile phones will be recycled.4 However, people are not against letting go of the device. Nearly 52% of people Lookout surveyed said they would give their phone to a charitable cause, while 22% said they would trade it or sell it for money. According to Comparemymobile.com, the average mobile phone owner has an estimated $160 worth of unused phones in their household.

Lookout Recommends what to do with Old Mobile Phones

Lookout recommends that people take a few steps to protect their data and privacy before letting go of an old device:

If desired, first save the data. Some might want to save photos and other content from an old phone, and there are several options available, depending largely on device type. For Android, Lookout Premium (14 day free trial – $2.99 per month/$29.99 per year) backs up photos and contacts and can restore data to a new device. iPhone owners can use iCloud to back up and store important data.

Before saying goodbye, wipe the phone clean. It’s important to remove data off of the phone before reselling, donating or recycling. For Android, Lookout Premium can wipe personal information, restoring the phone to its original settings. For other device types, do a Google search on how to factory reset. Factory resetting will restore an old phone to its original state, erasing apps, photos, contacts, call logs and more.

Don’t forget to ditch the SIM card. If the phone has a SIM card, remove it to ensure that your information cannot be passed on to a potential future owner.

Once the personal data is removed or erased, Lookout urges people to find a productive way to dispose of their old phones. Cell Phones for Soldiers is a charitable organization that collects unwanted mobile phones and provides troops abroad with free calling cards so they can connect with their families at home.

“Those serving abroad don’t have free access to make calls home, so we wanted to provide a way for our country’s heroes to connect with loved ones for free,” said Brittany Bergquist, founder of Cell Phones for Soldiers. “Recycling an old phone is a simple and easy way to support our troops and show gratitude for their service this holiday season, and we’re thrilled that Lookout is helping the cause.”

In addition to donating an unwanted phone, people can also opt to recycle it to protect the environment or resell it to make some extra cash. The Sprint Buy Back Program takes unwanted phones of any type or carrier and credits owners the buyback value. Online sites such as Glyde and Gazelle also offer cash in exchange for old mobile phones.
