ASK/Chicago: 100,000 or Bust...

The Introduction of ASK_Chicago’s 100K Twitter Club

Not for The Week at Heart. Yet, every Week more and more Tweets are generated and released by more and more People who hop on-board The Twitter Bandstand. A Muse can easily become a Household Name, sometimes if the right thing is written at the right time and read by the right ones.

Paralleling Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, there’s Music & Dance as Entertainment while others delve into The Arts, Politics, Pets and probing so much more located @ your Fingertips, oft-times only a P&C: Point & Click away. Not that long ago, Social Media was once an Alternative Method to read and be read even while you casually stroll down The Block (in oncoming Traffic) unaware that (Mis)Fortune may happen between 1 through 280 Characters. Not for The #Weak_at_Heart.

HOWEVER, when Six Figures are attained, that Milestone is important and something to celebrate.  I reached that Figure (100,000) in Mid-November of 2017 via Twitter.  But let me explain: 


I did not gain my 100,000 devoted Follower.  
[Quality Content is more important to me than Readership.
If The QC is there, the Audience will follow].

What occurred was The Phenomena of composing and releasing my 100,000 Tweet which qualifies for "something mighty special" in this Age of Social Media.  Being The First, of course, signifies you are a Pioneer, trekking across a vast Wilderness where Wild Men and Animals lurk behind every Cyber Tree and Kinetic Corner, classically and categorically speaking, of course. 



WHAT A 140 & NOW 280 CHARACTERED TWEET CAN TELL YOU
Listen up now as there will be a Pop Quiz on this Info later:

Digging into an Online History – a Treasure Trove of worthwhile Info that depicts "The Sign of Our Times" is to gain a Handle that controls and understands what is occurring inside another Person’s Head.  Added Insight  fascinates Writers (of every Degree & Genre) as The Creatif is given an Opportunity and rare Chance to see what her/his Subject was committing at th(a)t particular Time.  Being taken to that Place, an unknown Destiny makes the Story authoritative. Authored in "The Commonest of Denominators."

Today, there’s no going back.


"What's done was did."

Delete Buttons act as a Bandage and cannot change what We create. In a manner, this enables US (as Humans) to grow with The Passing of every Single Day.

As Forrest Gump asked his Mama when she was laying dying of ‘The Cancer’:

“What is my Destiny to be…”

Hopefully, with The Adjunct of more Decades ahead, I’ll be The First Individual to hit The Million Tweet Mark so that on my TombStone, I’ll be known, renown and noted as The Greatest Twitterer of Our Time, breathing the same Air as our Twitter Founders breath.  But let’s not rush and hurry Things along that quickly, Folks.


The PLAN (to be drawn up & executed on Monday, January 1, 2018) has The  Smarts and Support of Fellow Friend & Follower, Matthew J. Fitzgibbons a/k/a: BarnumLives! ~ @BarnumLives  whose Quote sums up The Sentiment of The Day:

“The noblest ART is that of making others happy”
~ P. T. Barnum ~

Fact (not Fiction or Friction) states that the upshot Popularity of Twitter rides on Numbers that continuously increase after quarter.  After all, at One Point before Tuesday, March 21, 2006 when Twitter was launched by Jack Dorsey @Jack; Evan Williams @ev; Biz Stone @biz; and Noah Glass @noah no one tweeted. Now, as they hunker down & use it as they do silverware, the kitchen stove, refrigeration and sliced bread, People will evolve becoming obsessed with The 100,000 Mark. Who’s better to engage these People and influence The Masses than one who has worked The Social Media Circuit for over Seven (7) Years now? Me.


HOW I BROKE INTO TWITTER 101: On Sunday, May 9, 2010 I attended a Workshop at the Lincoln Restaurant on the northwest side of Chicago in which Pilar Alessander, a successful and noted Hollywood Screen & Scriptwriting Professional encouraged me to start doing Social Media in order to be seen and heard by others in The Industry. She emphasized that “We (Artists/Writers) must do Social Media in order to get ahead.” Taking her valuable Advice, I signed up for my Twitter Account on May 10 and began My Foray. During the Summer of 2013, I read Four (4) enticing Twitter Books that honed My Skills. I must admit though and however, that by being “America’s Premier Eventologist” with 1,900 HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE under My Belt, My Content is out of The Ordinary. Adding Graphics and Original Photography [circa 2016] with The Arrival of Our Beloved Cali The Calico (athletic and beautiful as she is), yet another Dimension in “The Art of Twitter” evolved.


Always grateful, the following Twitter Post dated:

Friday, December 1, 2017 at 10:01 AM CST humbly states:




#On_The_Page_News ~ @onthepage
B/c of @PilarAlessandra I just reached my #100000_Post. No other Individual has accomplished this, only #Media (#TV #Radio #Newspaper & #Magazine)

#Twitter_Hall_of_Fame & Acclaim.



IMPETUS:  11 Years & Counting...

We (as a Lot of privileged People) are PiONEERS in this new fan-dangled Way of communicating and broadcasting our Assets:

WORKING THOSE ANGLES THAT DANGLE:

Curiosity intrigues The Cat. Regardless of The Fact that I am a LEO (born on Saturday - Caturday, August 9, 1952), on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 I attempted to discover who else had achieved that Numerical Milestone.

First, I visited Kim Kardashian West’s Twitter Page to learn she had accrued (only) 25.1K Tweets. (She’s probably too busy 'getting gorgeous' to devote any more to her Kause).

Second, I visited @realDonaldTrump, USA’s 45TH President’s Twitter Page to learn he had accrued (only) 36.5K Tweets. How The Press constantly hounds him, I would have thought he was far over The 100,000 Milestone Mark.

Third, I visited #HillaryClinton’s Twitter Page to learn she had accrued (only) 9,992 Tweets that come no where near to her Email Abondanza of November of 2016.

Virtually surprised that these Public Figures did not even come close to 50,000 Tweets, I instantly assumed it was because they worked or needed to uphold a Reputation; thereby were not plugged in to Twitter for long PoT: Periods of Time as they should be. Had this been The Case, their Numbers would be swelling. It's all a Matter of where one's Priorities are placed.

But who would surpass The 100,000 Mark? 

I needed to know.

I was to find out soon.   

I decided to investigate several of the leading NewsPapers (Media) for Two (2) Precise Reasons:

1. they need Twitter to get their News “out there” and expose on an hourly basis; and

2.  their Staff Members would more (than likely) tweet-out “The News,” comprised of the Stories they investigate, research & compose.

Thus, NewsPapers (Media) Numbers would gain higher Figures.  That being  The Groundwork, I found that:

BBC News Worldwide wrote & disbursed 269K
Chicago Tribune with 142K
CNN with 160K
Los Angeles Times with 184K
Chicago Sun-Times with 113K
Washington Post with 249K


This Research leads me to assume or believe that I am on "The Road" to being a bona fide Junior Media Conglomerate in “The Making” or on “The Rise.”  A Body of One intent on Cat-Faire, Holidates and what puts "The Pop" into Popular Culture.  Indeed, this is ecumenically rated as "Nice Work" if you can “get (away with) it.” That, too, is yet another Blog's worth...

From Monday, May 10, 2010 to Wednesday, November 29, 2017 that’s 2,760 Days (or 7 Years 6 Months and 19 Days) (as of 11-29-2017) which averages: 36.2318841 Tweets daily. Truly exemplifying that what’s Pop Culture in nature has stood The Test of Time. Will your Bout on Twitter become iconic or ironic?  These Days being both is advantageous and the healthiest Route to take.

THE GOAL is to muster (as in a Must-Do Project) 100,000 more Tweets within a year’s time that aids:

@SyrianCats
#CatsLivesMatter
#Furever Homes for Pets

Based in Unity & the giant Feline Network that comprises "The Internet of Things," The Precept (#PURRcept in Fluent CAT) is that every Pet Institution; Affiliation; Cat Product/toy/Brand; v or #PURRSon tweets about Cat Topics that move and improve them. Upon my citing and receipt, i will polish and embellish each with the;


#ask-koopurrsmith-on cats preface

making sure they are sent to the appropriate Cat, Media or News Account that will further assist that/those Cat(s)  in dire need.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

“Prestige and Respect are found in #Big_Numbers. For simple Reasons, People tend to like, prefer and gravitate towards that. For many, it’s Stocks, Bonds & #Money_in_the_Bank.  For others, it’s a new and exalted Commodity known as Influence &/or Popularity. Intelligence & Scope are the #New_Black where Education separates The Classes.  There4, Twitter needs a New Division for those elite Individuals (which does not include: The Media) who’ve passed over The 100,000 Twitter Post Mark when it comes to Tweeting out (sharing and liking) “The News” that has been polished to reflect The Popular and Pop Movement Culture of The Times (rapidly a’ changing as Bob Dylan foresaw) not The Secrets, Lies, Innuendos and Hate that Warmongers cast about.”

As Time goes on with The Arrival of 2020, 2030 & 2040, more and more People (indulging in this innovative Mindset) will be hitting The 100,000 Twitter Mark. For those already there as myself, they will raise “The Bar” on themselves to Half-A-Million (500,000).  A revised Golden Rule applies that implies that no Applications can be used to cheat or alter The Number of Daily Twitter Posts a Person solely and soulfully creates.  Integrity is of utmost importance.  Honesty is required. After all, these Tweets reflect what We are leaving to others both near and afar and  in TimeZones far away; those born and those whose Future is Decades and Millenniums ahead.  Imagine if The Citizenry of Ancient Rome had Twitter on March 14, upon the Eve of Julius Caesar’s Demise.  A Leak or hack-attack could have occurred. JC's early Death may have been prevented. The Course of History would be forever changed. The same for any horrific Assassination or Terrorist Attack.  Enter: A Technology that favors The Positivity of Man’s Better Side. That’s too good to be true, but then again, it’s already here.”

ADDING TO THE FIRE: In keeping The Balance fresh and in drawing upon the Veracity & Credibility of the 1900 Holidates (in 34 precise Categories) I created since July 25, 1990 as:

PAW: Pet Appreciation Week ©1994
CaveMan Never Days ©1992
National Smith Day ©1994
Hug A G.I. Day ©1996
National Splurge Day ©1996

and the various Conversations they ignite across the Online Social Media Communities,  stellar Topics of Discussion will be applied to the regularly scheduled Events of The Day and News as:

#Real_Men_love_Cats
#Cats_Lives_Matter
#CatsOptimalHealth

Top Ten Lists are popular but on Social Media, Content & Volume (well-written Posts and Captions to affect PAWS-itive Change in a Cat’s Life – all 9 of them plus more) lead to Happy Endings.  We love Happy Endings.

#BRING_CHARLIE_BACK! #BRING_CHARLIE_BACK! Boycott CBS. A Return to Radio



#BRING_CHARLIE_BACK: 
 Boycott CBS:  
#ASK_Central:  BOYCOTT, I say!

Charlie Rose is an old man. He's 75. He has Heart Problems. How many years does he have left ANYWAY! GET YOUR PRIORITIES right, CBS. Who else is going to report THE NEWS as Rose does?  No one. He was and has been in a League of his own as his many Awards and Designations he has received have proven. One day he is a hero; then next day he is ousted.   For  this REASON and your  quick and irrational  Decision to end his Career and ruin his Reputation, I am BOYCOTTING  The Station and all its SHOWS of which some of my favorite Reporters worked as:

@edcurran
@AnthonyMasonCBS
@SethDoane
@ErinKennedyTV
@LAURENVICTORY
@thattracysmith
@realJanePauley

and so many more...

And, of course, Steve Hartman's ON THE ROAD (begun 50 years ago with Charles B. Kurault) which is such a Touching Human Interest Show...as well as CBS Sunday that I would watch religiously every Friday Night during Anthony Mason's CBS Evening News and again on Sundays during CBS Sunday Mornings besides Wisdom Of The Crowd which may be the SAVINGS GRACE of Mr. Rose if all his FANS rally towards his RE-INSTATEMENT. FAST and NOW. 

Let's not forget the tens of thousands of PPL who work behind The Scenes across The World who depend on the Station for their Livelihood. This is a Day of Utter Disappointment for all of us (to bear).

WHEN IT DEALS WITH TIMING:  This is a very bad TIME FOR YOU TO BE pulling The Plug on anyone (with Standards as we define Standards) who works at CBS (or any Station for that matter).  60 Minutes has turned 50 this year (60 @ 50 as the Motto is read) while Steve Hartman's Show has also achieved and reached a Big Anniversary Date. These Milestones were not accomplished by FIRING your TOP Anchors - Reporters - Contributors as Charlie Rose.  Not only was he on CBS but 60 Minutes; PBS; Bloomberg - online and offline.  

TIME TO END THE WITCH HUNT:

THE POINT YOU (CBS) SEEM TO BE MISSING is that:
There is far more important NEWS to report on as:

Terrorism
Homegrown Terrorism
School Shootings
Hunger - Poverty
Guns killing Innocent Families and their Children in big and smaller Cities

BE SMART:  Hone in on taking CARE OF EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES and PROBLEMS that aid in the CONTINUATION OF SOCIETY and CIVILIZATION as We know it.  Walter Cronkite is gone.  Charlie Rose is the last Vestige of a Seasoned Anchor - Reporter (when Television got its start - when IT was invented) who possess that Knack & Style.  No one tells a Story as he does.  Furthermore, because he is in The Twilight Years of his Life, he should be lauded for his Efforts and not attacked by WOMEN who want yet another Last Hurrah on a Life they never had.

ALL OF OUR HARD WORK...Devotion and Stories are now tainted.

CASE IN POINT BEING:  I worked in the Editorial Department of PLAYBOY (the Office)  when it was based in Chicago in the mid-1980s.  Part of "My Job Description" was to retrieve Magazines for my Boss from their Archives.  A big, sprawling Room with Shelves stocking every Playboy from every Nation around the Globe.  I was shocked to see what "nice and wholesome" New Starlets appeared in that Publication.  This sleazy Maneuver launched their Careers. Not naming Names but you would be SHOCKED (not amused and amazed) at who We assume to be NICE AND  WHOLESOME but really are not.

Were they pawed?
Were they caught up in the Moment?
Were they manipulated by a Boss who wanted to #assert himself?

THE BOTTOM LINE REMAINS:  Sex sells.  Always did and always will...but these Allegations are ridiculous, going too far.

The Question (to Answer and Debate) no one is posing is this:

Where does FOREPLAY stop and ALLEGATIONS begin?

Perhaps as an Investigative  Reporter (as Chicago's Pam Zekman), you should consult with Dr. Ruth:

Dr. Ruth Westheimer ~ Verified Twitter Account:  @AskDrRuth
Find Dr. Ruth, the world-renowned psychosexual therapist, on YouTube at http://youtube.com/drruth  and at her official site, http://www.drruth.com
New York, NY
youtube.com/drruth

PLAYING DEVIL's ADVOCATE:
THE FUTURE OF TV: AI saturated Robots instead of Anchors is not that far-fetched.

Looking at the vast Perspective of this Social & Economic (Educational & Televised) Quandary, I'm advancing that (just) perhaps this WITCH HUNT is the BEST THING that ever happened to RADIO. Radio's been ailing for Decades now, especially since Man is SUCH a Visual Animal.  Like the renown Norman Rockwell Paintings, We will all be gathered around our Kitchen Tables listening to Radio like our Grandparents & Parents did in the GOOD OLD DAYS before brutal Accusations like this destroyed CAREERS.


My 11-21-2017 -  6:15 AM Tweet reads as:

#Bring_Charlie_Back B4 @CBSThisMorning. U wont find another CONTRIBUTOR like @charlierose.  #BOYCOTT every @CBS Show is now appropriate Act 2 take. Other Stations 2 watch OR sit back & read a #GoodBook not affiliated w/ UR Station: ie: Lost Sales 4 @simonschuster @ #Xmas Time.


My 11-21-2017 -  6:30 AM Tweet reads as:

#ASK_Chgo: @realDonaldTrump is going 2 #PARDON_THE_TURKEYS later 2day. (INSERTED: TURKEY EMOTICON HERE)  Duz that mean he is going 2 fire his entire Staff? MayB he can #PARDON all News Anchors who supposedly did same thing he did:  #Grope_Women who want 1 more #Last_Hurrah. @TIME: 2017: #Year_of_The_Allegation


ASK's EDITORIAL NOTE:  This was penned earlier on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 before CBS This Morning aired in which Charlie (Rose) shared the Anchor Seats with Gayle King & Norah O'Donnell.  Jeff Glor will probably take his place, but then we know NO ONE can fill Charlie Rose's shoes...

Corrections and Additions will be inserted throughout the next Month.  Feel free to check back and or refer to my:  @ASK_Koopersmith for updates...

The 2018 Launch of SPY: #Suicide_Prevention_Year. An International People-to-People Alert. Inspired by: Wisdom of The Crowd – CBS.


DATELINE:  Tuesday, November 7, 2017  

LOCATION:  Chicago, Illinois USA



THE POWER OF THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIE SCRIPT:

Had it not been for Wisdom of The Crowd’s Sunday, November 5, 2017 Episode spotlighting The Teen Suicide Epidemic taking place in our World, I would not have known about its Propensity taking place in Our Lives.  As Broadcast News has shown its Viewers/Listeners and vast Audiences since September 11TH of 2001, “The Age of Innocence” is gone, forever and completely.  As a 65-year-old Female living in a Big City, Chicago, the Third Largest Marketplace (being both metropolitan and cosmopolitan in nature and stance), I have seen, heard and experienced “Things” (defined below) that are and/or border on “The Horrific.” 

However, nothing could be “more horrific” than losing a “Loved One” to Suicide.  And, for that Reason, thanks to The Writers of:

WISDOM OF THE CROWD
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6522758/
http://www.cbs.com/shows/wisdom-of-the-crowd/

who shed light on this critical Social Issue, I’ve set-up Blog #1250 order to be able to list those Organizations manned by concerned and highly trained Personnel who can lend a Hand to People (many like us) who have to find “The Help” they need before they (attempt to) end their Lives far too soon.

As you know, those Individuals are comprised of our Brothers & Sisters, Cousins, Nephews & Nieces. Our Neighbors. Friends.  Friends-of-Friends. People We work with.  People that We see every Day. People that We admire from afar.  After WOTC: Wisdom Of The Crowd (CBS Anti-Crime TV Show scheduled for Sunday(s) after 60 Minutes and Football) aired and planted that Seed, I did google Research that revealed that The Numbers were higher than I previously thought.

Four (4) Sets of Data revealed that:

Every day, approximately 105 Americans die by suicide. (CDC) ... The highest suicide rates in the US are among Whites, American Indians and Alaska Natives.

The annual age-adjusted suicide rate is 13.26 per 100,000 individuals. Men die by suicide 3.5x more often than women. On average, there are 121 suicides per day. White males accounted for 7 of 10 suicides in 2015.

In 2014: Among females, the suicide rate was highest for those aged 45-64 (9.8 per 100,000). Among males, the suicide rate was highest for those aged 75 and over (38.8 per 100,000).

For help with suicide prevention and its statistics, visit Mental Health America.


Most startling were Articles entitled:

U.S. States With The Highest Suicide Rates - WorldAtlas.com

 

Suicide: 20 states with highest rates - Photo 1 - Pictures - CBS News

 

The 15 Most Suicidal Cities In America - Business Insider

 

Suicide rate hits 30-year high in U.S. | The Seattle Times

 

List of countries by suicide rate - Wikipedia

 


Since this Century acts as The Info Age and The Age of The List, then, I set to work on an Initial Roster of Twitter Suicide Prevention Organizations that runs as:

@AFSP_Iowa
@AgainstSuicide
@CASuicide
@CSYPPC
@grassroots SP
@HopeForTheDay
@IFUCARESHARE
@MentalHealth
@MentalHealthAM
@MindCharity
@ProjectBuddy
@Rethink_
@SAVEvoicesofedu
@SuicidePrevAU
@suicideresearch
@TrevorProject

that may be able to put you in contact with a Professional Organization that can help you, a loved one or associate if and when that time comes.


In these Troubled Times when Firearms can be gotten from a Preteen Thug on a Street Corner, Suicide takes on an altogether different Face or Stance than its Origins.  Those highlighted the fast and sometimes painless Death of a Troubled Person, if an Overdose of Pills were swallowed. Enter:   



Alexander McQueen.
Don Cornelius.
Ernest Hemingway.
Kurt Cobain.
Robin Williams.
Vincent Van Gogh.  Wendy O. Williams.


Today, with Terrorism, Suicide Bombers [as well as Troubled Individuals] will take-out a brick-and-mortar Nightclub/Church/School and then proceed to kill himself.  This, too, adds to The Suffering of those maimed/killed as well as The Family of The Killer...never to be “The Same” again.  The New Normal is not a pretty one. 

LIFE EXPECTANCY: Therefore, I am not a consummate Professional in this Mental Health Field, but strongly feel Common Sense tells me that if that if you see, hear, read-online or instinctively sense something strange or out-of-the-ordinary, STOP what you are doing and say something. Immediately!  Make that call ASAP.  All it takes is a few seconds and your prolonging and “Saving a Life,” a Precious Life that means something to somebody.  That’s something We can all do and should.  Now, that’s something We can all live with…

The Premise of this Blog/Page, of course, is to keep Conversation going and keep everyone engaged as that’s the underlying Theme of WOTC.


Furthermore, by being deemed as:

Washington, DC – September of 1997

and

The Premier Eventologist in The History of The World
By Eric Zorn of The Chicago Tribune 
Chicago, IL - January of 2001 


 since July 25, 1990 at 9:45 PM, I have declared that:


2018
be proclaimed as:

SPY:  Suicide Prevention Year ©2017

Thereby implanting yet another Seed (as WOTC did) so that more Precious Lives are saved and People grow stronger instead of fall(ing) Victim to an Event (often only seconds long) that forced them to do “The Unthinkable.” 

For those of you so moved to do so, the following Phrase is a TWEET you can send to your FAN-Base: Friends/Associates/Network thus spreading The Worthiness of this direly needed Year-Long Event (known as a Holidate in my Realm known as Eventology):

IN RETRO:  The I Spy TV Series running from 1965-1968 would appreciate The Word Play here; but, of course, The Message is much deeper when it comes to "The Internet" that can be used to save a Life in a matter of Nano-Seconds.  Thus, The Popularity of WOTC (who captured this Theme) will in The Years ahead be responsible for doing just that.  That indeed is a Badge of Honor to wear proudly.

#September_12_2018

 
Those Seventeen (17) Years have quickly passed. The 911 Terrorist Event on September 11, 2001 on the United States of Americas has been described as a #Suicide_Attack. Since that dreadful Day, a skyrocketing Rise in Suicides have swept The USA in Numbers that grew greater every year, crossing Multiples of Sociologic Disciplines, including all Peoples (Ethnic & Religious Group) and every Age Bracket (from Grade Schoolers to Seniors). No one [it seemed] was immune. Even The Rich, Famous & Powerful (unduly in a League in their own) suffered at their own Hands. Realizing this Increase in Human Loss & Productivity should be addressed moreso because it involved Mental & Physical Factors oft-times not realized, I launched


SPY: #Suicide_Prevention_Year


on November 7, 2017 for the Entirety of 2018. Although The Numbers continue to build and swell, the Headline News and Number of Sources/Resources helping those troubled have substantially expanded so that this #Holidate will continue into Posterity.  I’m hoping it will close down altogether.


SPY’s GOAL: To alert and shed light on Suicide, year-in and year-out.  2019, then will be noted as #SPY: SuicidePreventionYear #2 as Suicide is still at Epidemic Levels. If you see, hear, read or feel something is not exactly right with someone you know and hold dear, do something. That single solitary Act could very well be The Move that saves his/her Precious Life.

UPDATE DATELINE:  Monday, September 16, 2019 - 9:04 AM CST 
While watching CBS This Morning with Gayle King, Anthony Mason  & Tony Dokoupil, one of their Special Guests today was Marie Osmond who lost a Child to Suicide.  It's a Pain that never goes away.  Whether that Loss is via a Child, Parent, Partner or Friend as We know.  She announced that  The Hotline #988 is being considered instead of its present-day, long 10 Digit Number. 
BUT, my Question is:  Who would know or remember that Figure? 
I prefer either:
111 or 000
111 would subliminally implant 'The Seed' that the Person (thinking of committing Suicide) is #1.
 000 is just easier to remember.  
Via this Post, I'm hoping my Choices will be considered instead of 988.
