Today, I wanted to share some insights on the Meta Verified subscription for Facebook and Instagram. This feature has been generating a lot of buzz lately, and I wanted to give you an honest breakdown of the pros and cons to help you decide if it's worth your investment.<br>First, let's review what the Meta Verified subscription offers for a monthly fee of $14.99 (or $11.99 if you sign up via the web):<br> 1. A verified badge on your profile<br> 2. Enhanced account security<br> 3. Direct support for account issues<br> 4. Exclusive stars and stickers for verified accounts<br>Initially, Meta also promised increased reach for subscribers' posts, but that perk has since been removed.<br>Now, let's discuss the pros and cons based on feedback from those who have tried the service.<br>Pros:<br> • The verified badge can boost your credibility and online presence.<br> • Extra account security adds an additional layer of protection against hacking and phishing attempts.<br> • Direct support can be a lifesaver when dealing with account issues.<br> Cons:<br> • Many users don't find the service worth the monthly fee unless they need support for account issues.<br> • Some users subscribe to resolve account issues and then cancel the subscription afterward.<br> • One significant drawback is the inability to change your profile picture while verified. To do so, you need to cancel your subscription, change the photo, and then reapply for verification.<br>It's surprising that a billion-dollar company like Meta hasn't developed a more user-friendly solution for this issue.<br>In conclusion, the Meta Verified subscription might be useful for those who need direct support or are seeking the credibility boost that comes with a verified badge. However, it's important to weigh the benefits against the cost and potential drawbacks, such as the profile photo restriction.<br>As always, I hope this information is helpful in making an informed decision.

<p>Ok for those of you that have no idea I’ll break it down for you in a way you may be able to understand better…… </p>
<p>The Ukraine & Russia crisis In simple terms for those that have no idea what is going on. </p>
<p>-Ukraine used to be in an abusive relationship with Russia, feeding him, letting him use her car & giving him whatever he asked for until she built up the confidence to call it quits back in 1991 </p>
<p>-Since then Ukraine has been working on herself, becoming a strong independent woman with help from friends like France, America, Poland etc. offering her support, loaning her money, & helping her find her way. </p>
<p>-Ukraine has been enjoying being single for 30 years & looking forward to continuing to grow & create new friendships. </p>
<p>-Now Russia being the toxic Ex that it is wants her back, and doesn’t want her meeting new people or creating any new relationships. </p>
<p>-A couple of weeks ago Russia started sitting in the front of Ukraine’s house & when her friends ask him what was he doing there, he said “Oh nothing, just getting a little bit of exercise in, that’s all.” </p>
<p>-After her friends told her that Russia was potentially getting ready to do something bad to her, he said “They’re lying, they just want you to be scared of me & that’s not what it is” </p>
<p>-Yesterday Russia broke into Ukraine’s house, beating her up & “taking advantage” of her while on Livestream & double dog daring any of her friends to do something about it & if they do want the smoke, Russia got that thang on him. </p>Hog Head G-Notetag:hogheadgnote.com,2005:Post/67192202021-08-17T08:43:14-04:002023-12-10T14:34:20-05:00Back 2 School Ideals To Get Your Kids Back On Track<p>According to Phineas and Ferb, “There’s a hundred and four days of summer vacation. Then school comes along just to end it.” Some kids are super excited about going back to school. Heck for them, it’s been an eternity since they have seen some of their friends (or it feels that way, anyway). Others might be anxious or even scared. Maybe it’s a new school and they don’t know anyone, or they have a hard time making friends. Whichever the case may be in your household, we’ve got 7 tips to help get you and your child off on the right foot for a successful school year. </p><p>1. Reset your rhythm </p><p>If your kids spent the summer indulging in a very relaxed bedtime where they stay up late most nights and sleep in every morning, it’s important to get their sleep schedules back on a set routine. Start two weeks before school with setting a bedtime and a morning routine. If they will be getting themselves up, use whatever device will be waking them up now, so they get used to hearing it. My kids loved to sleep through their alarm clocks. You have to train the brain to listen for and recognize the sound of the alarm. </p><p>Create routines that are easy for your child to follow - short, sweet, and consistent. Routine will help with bedtime struggles and aid your child in getting that much needed good night’s sleep. Children who get enough sleep (between 9-12 hours per night for this age group) have better attention spans, are typically better behaved (not moody or angry/aggressive because they are tired) and have increased learning and memory retention. Those with inadequate sleep tend to be moody, emotional, and sometimes depressed. </p><p>To create a bedtime routine, pick 3-4 activities and have your child do them in the same manner every night. This helps bring the day to a close and allows them to mentally prepare for sleep. A few ideas for your bedtime routine could include: </p><p>Set an alarm 30 minutes before bedtime so kids can mentally prepare <br>5 minutes of silly time to unwind and get the “giggly wigglies” out <br>Bedtime snack <br>Taking a warm bath or shower <br>Brushing teeth <br>Putting on pajamas <br>Turn on nightlight or white noise for kids that need them <br>Prayers <br>Bedtime story <br>Singing a lullaby or bedtime song <br>Pick out tomorrow’s outfit <br>Pack tomorrow’s lunch and put in fridge to save time in the morning <br>A morning routine might include the following habits to get your kids started for the day: </p><p>Bathing or showering <br>Getting dressed and putting on shoes <br>Make bed and put pajamas away <br>Combing hair <br>Eating a good breakfast <br>Brushing teeth and washing face <br>Putting supplies into backpack/bookbag <br>Use bathroom before heading out the door <br>Put on your happy face <br>2. Attend Open House/Orientation </p><p>Meet your child’s teacher(s) and tour the facility before the school year starts. This might be in person, or it could be virtual, thanks to technology. Now would be a great time to ask questions. Get the lists of school supplies, books, and technology your kids will need. Then create your list of items you need to purchase and a budget. Your list and budget will help control impulse buys when you go shopping. It’s easy to splurge on all the supplies with fun colors/patterns. Remember to get the supplies early to beat the rush and items being out of stock causing added stress. If you haven’t seen it yet, the Trapper Keeper has made its return and is the hot back to school item this year. </p><p>Pick up an item or two for the good of the classroom, such as a bottle of sanitizer or wipes. The teacher will thank you for doing so. Don’t forget to stop by the school’s health office and ensure vaccines are up to date. From the voice of experience, there's nothing like being told on the second day of school that your child can’t return until they have their vaccines updated and finding out you can’t get an appointment for a week. </p><p>3. Create a homework area </p><p>Remove distractions like TVs and video game consoles from homework areas. Repurpose and relabel plastic tubs to organize all school supplies. Use empty containers such as pringles cans and redecorate them with your child to store supplies like pencils, pens, scissors. Help your kids develop a filing system for organizing their documents for each class. Get a couple of dollar store picture frames and use them to display your child’s artwork of the week or the good grade on an assignment they are so proud of and change out as needed. Another wonderful way to organize supplies is to get an over the door shoe rack and use it to store items such as glue, stapler, crayons, colored pencils, ruler etc. Set a timer for regular breaks from homework to stretch or get a drink or water. Setting the routine for good study habits is important to start young as it will carry over into their high school and college years. </p><p>"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow." - Anthony J. D'Angelo </p><p>4. Afterschool Activities </p><p>Do you have a plan in place for after school care? Will they be playing sports? Having tutor session? Daycare or a babysitter? Block out some fun time for your kids, whether it’s through sports or playdates but don’t overload their day, kids need quiet time too. Create a list of fun after-school activities and games to keep your kids entertained and avoid boredom. </p><p>For my kids, I have a “Daddy I’m bored” jar. This is easy to create some are fun, some items are chores. Here’s what you do: </p><p>Find an empty jar or even a bowl can work <br>Decorate the outside if you desire, mine says “Daddy Daddy" I’m Bored” <br>I used large craft sticks and wrote tasks on each one, you can just use strips of paper. <br>Kids pull on stick but have to agree to whatever it says before they choose. <br>Here are 21 boredom busting ideas to include for your jar: </p><p>Playing a board game <br>Washing/putting away the dishes <br>Painting/coloring a picture <br>Riding a bike or skateboard <br>Building a blanket fort <br>Write a letter or make a card for someone <br>Put on a puppet show <br>Help prepare dinner <br>30 minutes of cartoon time (important to limit screen time) <br> Draw a treasure map of the yard (where do you think the pirates would have hidden treasure in our yard? Hide something ahead of time and then go find it on a treasure hunt!) <br> Vacuum or sweep the floor in one room <br> Play hide and seek <br> Call grandma or grandpa <br> Read for 30 minutes <br> Tell a story or write a play <br> Make cookies with a grown up <br> Empty the trash <br> Jump rope for 10 minutes <br> Collect and sort or fold laundry <br> Take a bubble bath or play with bubbles <br> Have a dance party (put on some songs and dance around!) <br>These are just a few activities, and they may not be suitable for all ages, but they can sure get you started. Create your list and have fun with them. </p><p>5. Schedule Family Time! </p><p>For many kids, they are used to being home over the summer so going back to school (or going for the first time) will disrupt their comfort zone. Help them by establishing a set “Family Time” daily, whether it’s during dinner or before bed. Ask them about their day and listen as they talk to you. Take them grocery shopping and let them pick out their afterschool and bedtime snacks. This gives them the precious gift of time. Give kids a specific day that they can choose all the activities you do together, then mark it on the calendar so it gives them something to look forward to outside of schoolwork. </p><p>How about baking some cookies or brownies with your little one? Try out this super fudgy and uber chocolatey brownie recipe. it’s a delicious, sweet treat that can’t be beat. </p><p>INGREDIENTS </p><p>2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided in half) <br>1 cup granulated sugar <br>3 eggs <br>½ cup butter <br>1 teaspoon vanilla extract <br>1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour <br>¼ teaspoon baking soda <br>INSTRUCTIONS </p><p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees <br>In a heavy-duty saucepan or microwaveable bowl, melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips and the butter over low heat, stirring frequently until chips are completely melted. If you're using the microwave method, heat chips in short increments, and stir in between. <br>Remove from heat, allow to cool one minute then stir in the vanilla extract, and add the eggs, one at a time. <br>Mix in the sugar, flour, and baking soda. Stir until thoroughly blended. <br>Stir in the remaining chocolate chips or sprinkle over once in pan. <br>Spread brownie batter into a greased or parchment paper-lined 13 X 9-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are firm, center is set, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Do not over bake -- center will firm up as brownies cool <br>Allow to cool, cut into servings, and enjoy! <br>6. Get the Look! </p><p>Let your kids help pick out their school clothes or shoes. Some wear uniforms so there’s not much leeway there. Why not indulge your child by allowing them to pick their backpacks, lunchboxes and folders? This helps your child be involved and get excited about their new choices, thus helping them be excited about getting to or back to school. </p><p>Remember to plan for weather issues and help protect your little one from mother nature. Raincoats, jackets, coats, hats, gloves, and boots depending on your location will help them brace the elements and equip them to enjoy the weather. </p><p>To complete and compliment the back-to-school look, don’t forget the crowning glory … haircuts! Get them early so you can practice and play with the new hair-do a few days before school to ensure they are thrilled with their new look. </p><p>7. Giving is Better than Receiving </p><p>A great way to show your vested interest in your child’s education is to be an involved parent. Consider volunteering and attending your child’s school functions. </p><p>Here’s some ways parents can get involved: </p><p>Chaperoning field trips <br>Sign-up to be a classroom helper, teacher aid, or homeroom parent <br>Organizing and/or working at school fundraising activities and other events, like the school carnival, bake sales, and book fairs <br>Planning classroom parties and festivities <br>Joining the school's parent-teacher organization <br>Volunteering in the library (help kids find books or restock the shelves) <br>Attend career day and describe what you do <br>Attending your child’s school concerts or plays (precious memories!) <br>With all this back-to-school prep work, you and your child are going to be in great shape for a successful school year. If you’re calm, not stressed, they will follow your lead and be excited as well, ready to embrace this adventure head on. Take a deep breath and enjoy this magic time with your young one.</p>Hog Head G-Notetag:hogheadgnote.com,2005:Post/65394502021-02-04T12:21:11-05:002023-02-27T18:31:57-05:00Clubhouse Invite Only Who Is The Real Winner<p> So tell me this again why do every one in the Entertainment Business need to be on Clubhouse.To make another Culture Vulture Rich again when will we Learn.

<p>Thinking of going out to eat during this pandemic? According to a recent study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults over the age of 18 who tested positive for the coronavirus are “twice as likely” to have dined at a restaurant two weeks before reporting symptoms, CNN reports. </p>
<p>The study used data from 314 adults throughout 10 states who experienced COVID-19 symptoms in July. Of those adults, 154 tested positive, and 160 came back negative. </p>
<p>Patients were asked about their mask-wearing habits, as well as their daily activities, like going to the gym or grocery shopping. Though there were few differences between the positive and negative sets, one thing stuck out: those who tested positive were more likely to have dined at a restaurant 14 days prior to reporting symptoms. </p>
<p>“In addition to dining at a restaurant, case-patients were more likely to report going to a bar/coffee shop, but only when the analysis was restricted to participants without close contact with persons with known COVID-19 before illness onset,” the study reads. </p>
<p>The data also revealed that of the adults who tested positive, 42% said they had been in “close contact” with someone who had coronavirus. Just 14% of those with negative cases had reported being in close contact with a positive case, 51% of which were family members. </p>
<p>Most of the adults used in the study — 71% of those with COVID-19 and 74% of those without — said they “always” wear a face mask in public. </p>
<p>Researchers wrote that exposure in restaurants have been linked to air circulation. </p>
<p>“Direction, ventilation, and intensity of airflow might affect virus transmission, even if social distancing measures and mask use are implemented according to current guidance,” the researchers wrote. </p>
<p>When Michigan reopened indoor dining in June, Harper’s Restaurant and Brew Pub in East Lansing was linked to 138 coronavirus cases over the course of a weekend. (The restaurant blamed long lines and overcrowding beyond their control. Soon after, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer banned indoor service at bars, citing the fact that alcohol tends to get people to speak loudly, gather closely, and lower their inhibitions.) </p>
<p>In August, six front of house employees of Birmingham sushi restaurant Adachi tested positive for COVID-19. Also last month, the State of Michigan began publicly publishing its outbreak data, which includes various services like bars and restaurants. The data is organized by region and shows if outbreaks were linked to staff or customers or both. </p>
<p>The CDC labels dining out at restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating where capacity has not been reduced and tables are not spaced six feet apart as being the highest risk to contract or expose others to the coronavirus, as eating and drinking with a mask on is, well, impossible. Dining in or on patios, even where some precautionary measures are being enforced, still pose a threat for those dining and service industry employees. </p>
<p>The lowest risk is, of course, ordering takeout, using drive-thru services, or curbside pick-up. <br>RELATED Introducing Good To-Go Detroit, a database of local restaurants with carry-out and delivery during the coronavirus pandemic <br>So many restaurants, so little time. <br>Follow me at hogheadgnote.com and stay safe</p>Hog Head G-Notetag:hogheadgnote.com,2005:Post/64265392020-09-06T16:53:39-04:002023-07-06T06:07:40-04:00My Life I Can't Make This Up<p>I got a story for you Back when 50cent first came out I was a Ganster Rapper from Detroit similar to him.50 Cent hadn't officially came out yet though I was a young teenager and all the Producer and Labels wouldn't sign me saying there not into Ganster Rappers anymore that Music was going in a positive direction.

<p>I don't think stiffer gun laws will change much of what's going on.</p>
<p>As it's mainly students of the school who is doing all the shootings.</p>
<p>Therefore I'm sure there not allowed to own a gun yet.</p>
<p>I mean sure metal detector's and added security will aide in making the schools safer but not fool proof.</p>
<p>I'm very much against armed Teacher's that's a no no for me.</p>
<p>To much power to the teacher which can be used in the wrong way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the other hand we do need some type of system in place.</p>
<p>I suggest having and armed law enforcement officer in every school.</p>
<p>Also have an monthly drill just like an fire drill for students and teachers.</p>
<p>I would like to see more counselor's in the schools as well.</p>
<p>I will suggest camera at every entrance of the school's</p>
<p>I think this would be a good start to cut down on the school violence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As alot of you may not know I was a victim of an school violence shooting.</p>
<p>In which we had metal detector's and camera's as well.</p>
<p>The culprit snuck in an unlocked door that was propped open with a loaded gun.</p>
<p>Which he had all day in school until it was time for football practice as we was walking from class.</p>
<p>In the hallway the culprit pulled out his weapon during school hour's and fired a shot in the hallway hitting me in the abdomen.</p>
<p>As I was pronounced dead on the scene before being brought back to life.</p>
<p>I'm saying this to say there is no way to fully protect the school's but there is ways to make them safer.</p>

I find the process comes very easy to me.I start out with an Idea then it quickly turns to a vision.Ideas just pop into my head and soon as they come I write them down rather it be a phone pen and pad or voice recording anything so I don't forget.Thats where all the creative process begins for me.Everytime I write it's like im writimg a script for a movie or tv show but it's all real life and authentic. My music is basically about personal experience of mine and other friends and conrads growing up in Detroit.Mi poorest an proverty stricken neighborhood you will experience alot of things good and bad.Im thankful for being able to have been apart an to make me the person that I am today.</p>Hog Head G-Notetag:hogheadgnote.com,2005:Post/51579912018-03-31T12:32:18-04:002022-04-02T16:00:08-04:00Life I Wonder WIll It Take Me Under<p> I remember going up on the rough and rugged streets of Detroit.Mi.</p>
<p>At the age of 17 I encountered a life changing mind altering experience.</p>
<p>To remind you there was nothing more I loved then gangs It was my family friends someone to depend on all of that.</p>
<p>Then boom the unthinkable happened a Grocery Store gets Robbed the Owner Shot and Killed three other employees injured.</p>
<p>I just so happen to go to the Grocery store like a week later the D.P.D. Raid Vans are on the seen.</p>
<p>One of the Police and I makes eye contact he looking at me I'm looking at him,we get into a stare off.</p>
<p>I hop and my car with my pregnant girlfriend at the time and pull of.</p>
<p>As i'm pulling of I see the officer had jumped in the van also I continue driving.</p>
<p>I make it to the next block boom boom the police are actually ramming both sides of my brand new car with not one but two raid fans.</p>
<p>Telling me to pull over me being the I don't care type of course I didn't stop so Im driving there hitting my car tearing it up.</p>
<p>I finally make it to my destination I jump out and run they chase me I close and lock the door.</p>
<p>They wait finally with a search warrant they take me into custody my pregnant girlfriend as well.</p>
<p>We make it to Homicide at this point you want believe what happens next.</p>
<p>They tell my Pregnant Girlfriend which is 16 at the time if you don't tell us what happened you will never see your unborn child.</p>
<p>With my girlfriend being a minor the weren't even suppose to question her about anything in which she didn't know anything anyway.</p>
<p>Her mother came in picked her up and she was able to leave.</p>
<p>As for me we get to Homicide that ask me about a bunch of murders that I know nothing about.</p>
<p>So then the Detectives or what y'all call them dicks starts showing a bunch of dead folks with there Brains blew out pictures asking if i know them.</p>
<p>I guess some type of scare tactic or something I still say no.</p>
<p>At this point there getting frustrated and start to bring in some guys from my neighborhood paperwork showing it to me with me name stated on it.</p>
<p>For the next few days I would stay there without being able to call and let anyone know were I'm at not being able to shower at all or barely able to eat.</p>
<p>Finally I was freed and let go for know.</p>
<p>A week later Homicide come knocking on my door again asking me to come with them I reply do I have to come?</p>
<p>They reply you can come willing or not so know were back to Homicide again they ask about some more Murders that I know nothing about.</p>
<p>After a few hours I was free to go thats why to this day I'm not a fan of Law Enforcement because they tried to take my first born from me.</p>
<p>And in a strange turn of events would you believe my Children Mother is now dating a Law Enforcement Officer I know crazy right.</p>
<p>This is the event that inspired me to right this song click on the link and listen for your self.</p>

<p>With that being said If you have been blessed with the gift of life why would you take it away?</p>
<p>Which is a gift that is sent from heaven a whole human living being in your body.</p>
<p>The most precious loving adorable being on earth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the other hand if you been Raped Sexually Assaulted or Molested should you be forced to keep the baby.</p>
<p>Will that be considered a sin if you decide you did not want to keep the baby,because it wasn't consensual?</p>
<p>Rape and other sexual assaults average around 321,500 victims a year which is one every 98 seconds.</p>
<p>I wonder if you choose pro life in this situation will you think about the crime and keep reliving it over and over again?</p>
<p>Will you take it out on the child,what if it looks just like the father?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for me Im Pro Life but it certain situations that need to be taking in consideration.</p>
<p>I mean will the world look at you differently based on your decision.</p>
<p>Even without them knowing your circumstances I would hate to be judged if something like that happened in my life and i chose not to keep the offspring.</p>
<p>At the end of the day it's up to you to decide what's the best choice for you.</p>
<p>I suggest you go with your gut and what you feel is right for you.</p>

<p>i'm a firm believer that if you live by the gun you die by the gun. With that being said there is always a consequence for your actions,But on the other hand some young people might not have the knowledge of knowing that. I for one can not see any of my kids passing on before me for any reason As I wouldn't know what to do.I know I don't have the power to make that decision though only one person can make that call and its not you nor me.Everybody eventually will have there day im just praying that I go before my kids.I hope that I have installed alot of values in them and encourage them to be loyal honest and trustworthy and have the courage to stand for what they believe in.I wish that one of them would change the World one day.I rather die before any of my seeds and continue to water them and watch them grow.</p>Hog Head G-Notetag:hogheadgnote.com,2005:Post/51326492018-03-16T18:07:08-04:002022-07-26T09:17:23-04:00Doing Shows Or Making Videos<p>I have had the honor of playing many live shows which is a blast when you have old fans and new fans listening and the excitement on there face as your controling the crowd gaining new fans and exposure the heat of the moment when that light hit the stage and you get an instant adrenaline rush as the crowd gets to cheering louder and louder and singing along with your song is unbelievableOn the other hand when you make a music video you have people from all over the world liking commenting and watching your video as your getting instant feedback.As you get to see yourself on tv getting a visual as well.In which you can always come back and watch over and over again for as long as you want.Youy can play it for your family and friends and get therte reactions and come up with more ideas </p>Hog Head G-Note
