4 Reasons You Need a 24-Hour Country Process Server for Your Lawsuit
The best way to ensure the court listens to your legal case and decide on it quickly is by hiring a process server. Process servers are professionals who are legally certified to deliver court documents and orders on lawsuits against a defendant. They deliver a variety of documents, from subpoenas to formal summons to appear in court. These experts can also track down a defendant. That's why it is advisable to hire professionals during the legal process to help you understand the most intricate elements of the law.
Working with process servers can help your case in various ways, such as the following.
1. Reducing Your Burden
After hiring a process server, you pass on the burden of having to serve the papers to the defendant yourself. Moreover, it is no longer your responsibility to track the other party down. That can prove helpful in cases where you may not feel safe talking to the defendant alone. The process server you hire will handle all that, reducing your burden and creating more time for you to focus on other important issues in your life.
2. Advising You On The Proper Steps To Take
Process servers have a great law background. Therefore, they understand the right way to handle different aspects of a legal case. They also understand the various duties and obligations each party needs to play in a lawsuit. Therefore, they can advise you on the ideal way to handle your case to avoid violating the court.
3. Informing You On The State Laws
If both parties in a case are living in the same state and are ready to follow all the rules around the case, then the lawsuit process may not be complicated. However, some complicated legal battles need to be careful not to break the law. However, that can be difficult if you don't understand all the intricacies of the law. The best way to get ahead of this situation is to work with professional process servers. Since these professionals handle the various complexities of the law to earn a living, they stay updated with the current state laws governing lawsuits.
4. Providing Efficient Services
The best way to ensure lawsuit papers are served immediately is by hiring process servers. These professionals offer 24-hour service every day. That means they are available during the holidays and weekends. That way, you are guaranteed your papers will land in the right hands without delays.
Working with a process server can ease the stress of handling a lawsuit. Therefore, it is best to find a qualified legal server close to you to ensure you follow the right process of filing a lawsuit and serving papers to a defendant.
If you have questions, contact a local 24-hour country process server for more information.

I just read about new research showing that exercise is more important than weight loss for good health and longevity.
In a recent column on Why You Can't Just Pedal Off the Pounds I made these points:
- Overweight even slightly can increase your risk of dying prematurely by six percent and increases the risk by 73% for an obese person.
- Body Mass Index (BMI) estimates a person's body fat based on the individual's weight. As a cyclist you have more muscle and less fat than the average person. If you are five or ten pounds over what the BMI defines as normal you probably aren't actually overweight because of your higher proportion of muscles. Ask your health care professional
- Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR) is how many calories per hour you burn when you're inactive, e.g., asleep or on your computer. Your BMR remains stable between ages 20 and 60; and declines steadily after age 60. If you are gaining weight between age 20 and 60, it's the result of your dietary and exercise habits, not your BMR.
- Energy compensation means our bodies tend to automatically compensate for at least a quarter of the calories we expend during exercise. In other words for every 100 calories you think you're burning while exercising, you're actually burning only about 75 calories.
- Eating less also important because of energy compensation when you exercise.
- Strength training significantly reduces the risk of gaining weight whether you do aerobic activities or not.
Why Exercise Is More Important Than Weight Loss
I read the report on new research on Fitness vs. Weight Loss and Obesity.
The researcher looked at "more than 200 relevant meta-analyses and individual studies. Then they set out to see what all of this research, involving tens of thousands of men and women, most of them obese, indicated about the relative benefits of losing weight or getting fit for improving metabolisms and longevity. In effect, they asked whether someone who is heavy gets more health bang from losing weight or getting up and moving."
Glenn Gaesser, a professor of exercise physiology at Arizona State University, led the study. "Compared head-to-head, the magnitude of benefit was far greater from improving fitness than from losing weight," Dr. Gaesser said.
"Sedentary, obese men and women who begin to exercise and improve their fitness can lower their risk of premature death by as much as 30 percent or more, even if their weight does not budge. This improvement generally puts them at lower risk of early death than people who are considered to be of normal weight but out of shape, Dr. Gaesser said."
"You will be better off, in terms of mortality risk, by increasing your physical activity and fitness than by intentionally losing weight," he said. (New York Times)
Note that his research doesn't indicate it's healthy to be overweight just that if you are overweight increasing your fitness will improve your health more than losing weight.

Databook Unveils Strategic Relationship Management (SRM) Platform to Boost Enterprise Sales Productivity
Advanced AI & NLP empower sellers to instantly transform complex financial data and insights into deeply tailored account strategies, plans, and content using prompts, guides, and one-click downloads
Databook today unveiled the industry's first Strategic Relationship Management (SRM) platform to enable sellers to create, manage, and maintain strategic relationships at scale. With Databook, any seller, at any level, can instantly interpret complex financial data and market insights to auto-generate strategic account plans, sales materials, and narratives that speak to executive buyers. Now sales teams can quickly align around customer priorities and urgent needs from the very beginning, resulting in a dramatic increase in face-to-face meetings, larger deal sizes, expanded pipeline, and faster cycle times.
"Databook's SRM platform empowers sales teams to do their best work by bringing new value and a personal touch to every deal," said Anand Shah, CEO of Databook. "Until now, only a handful of people in a sales organization have been equipped to position big ideas, speak to executive buyers, and prove how their solutions will improve financial and operational health. Instead, most sellers have relied on execution tools to scale – an approach that often results in spam, generic messages, and canned personalization that alienates executive buyers. Now with Databook, any seller can bring a compelling business POV to every account in their pipeline, deepening customer connections and dramatically increasing revenue per seller."
Databook also announced Strategy Builder, a new application that guides sellers through prompts and suggestions to generate dynamic opportunity roadmaps based on top-line financial metrics, management intent, key buyers, and use cases with scored fit. With Strategy Builder, teams can create, track and iterate sales opportunities – and track associated estimated value – all in one place. Account opportunities are automatically updated to changes in real time improving the speed, consistency, and quality of account planning.

The SRM Imperative
A Gartner, Inc. survey of over 1,000 B2B buyer stakeholders found 93% of respondents identified their purchase decision as a result of a larger organizational initiative, with disruptive operational barriers and market considerations1. In the face of rapid change, sales success requires every seller to see the big picture, understand a buyer's management intent, and credibly speak to financial health and weakness – not product features and benefits.
Financial disclosures such as 10-K, 10-Q, P&L statement, and Form DEF-14A hold the key to executive-level conversations, but these documents are prohibitively difficult and time-consuming to interpret and use. A recent Databook survey of nearly 800 B2B sellers found that more than 70% of sellers agree they are more successful when they use financial data but less than 30% have even looked at a 10-K in the last 6 months. When asked why, 25% say that they don't have tools that make it easy and 30% say it's too time consuming.
SRM eliminates robotic, canned sales motions and allows sellers to uplevel executive conversations and forge long-term connections based on mutual value. With SRM, buyers can quickly narrow down and purchase exactly the right solution to drive their business forward in partnership with sales people that they find "helpful," "honest," "knowledgeable," and "trustworthy."

Top tips for a successful Fellowship application
1. Follow the instructions!
Obvious, but many people don't:
- use the correct application form
- keep to the indicated word length
- ensure that they have both references and any other documentation required in the submission
In these circumstances your application will not be considered at the panel so please pay attention to the requirements.
2. Ask yourself…
When making statements such as:
'to engage students I…' or 'active learning promotes participation so I…' or similar, try to answer the following questions:
- Why is that important/relevant?
- How do you know (what is your evidence)?
In describing your examples this is where you can show the Core Knowledge and Values dimensions of the UKPSF
3. Be specific
Don't generalise ('I ensure that my materials are inclusive' – how? give an example). The panel needs to get a flavour of your actual practice and how it meets the UKPSF.
4. Stay focussed
Avoid long descriptions of your modules, syllabus or a particular situation unless it is very relevant; try to keep it brief if so. The focus is on your actions, your decisions and your reasoning.Be prepared to edit significantly as the word count is tight.
5. Remember impact
Describe the effect of what you did on student learning. What were the outcomes or changes that occurred as a result? How did you evaluate the initiative?
6. Allow failure
Don't feel that you only need to talk about successes. You can demonstrate reflexivity as a practitioner by reviewing failure or negative outcomes. What did you learn? What would you do differently? Try to be objective and critical about your work: a key feature of good reflective practice.
7. Map accurately
Examine carefully the claims you are making against each of the UKPSF statements. Is it really design or is it actually delivery (A1 or A2)? Be very strict and clear with yourself as these are the criteria against which your application will be judged. Misalignment could mean that you leave an unintended gap in your mapping. The panel will try to look at your application holistically but they do need to be able to evaluate your claims against the UKPSF.
8. Find a buddy
Ask a critical friend to read through a draft in good time. Many people find it helpful to work with a 'buddy' who is also applying. You act as a sounding board for each other and set writing objectives for when you meet up to maintain momentum.
9. Making time
Come to a writing retreat if you're finding it hard to get time to work on your application. This provides a quiet space to work alongside others who will also be writing their applications. There will be resources on hand as well as an adviser to talk through your examples with or answer any questions you may have. The schedule of retreats and workshops is on the TALENT calendar.

Surely by now you have read all about Anil Thakraney's interview of Pahlaj Nihalani, the chief of the censor board:
Speaking of Spectre, surely Bond would kiss beautiful women he encounters, he isn't going to say Namaste to them.
So why didn't people object to the earlier Bond films? There was not a single kiss shown in Skyfall. That time no one thought of the sanskaari thing? We have passed the kiss! We only asked them to reduce the duration by 20 seconds.
I don't get this logic. A kiss is a kiss. Ten seconds or one minute.
(Gets angry). This means you want to do sex in your house with your door open. And show to people the way you are doing sex.
Nihalani is a buffoon, but that is not the point. Nor is it the point whether the censor board has been more 'liberal' under the previous government or under this one. The point simply is that the censor board should not exist at all. The existence of the board is a violation of free speech. Period. Protesting against or making fun of Nihalani is besides the point. Even if the most cultured and intelligent and pro-free-speech people on the planet headed the censor board, they would be as deserving of my contempt as Nihalani is.
Forget the man; examine the principle.
And oh, by and by, wtf is 'do sex'?
Update: In an otherwise excellent column, Mitali Saran writes: 'It is time to have an adult at the head of the CBFC.'
No it isn't. It's time to do away with the CBFC. Individuals aren't the problem; systems are.

Demolition began earlier this week on four buildings on the Kodak campus in Windsor. KUNC's Erin O'Toole talks with Northern Colorado Business Report publisher Jeff Nuttall about what's behind the deconstruction.
O'Toole: Jeff, the Kodak Colorado Division has been a major employer in Northern Colorado since it built its campus east of Windsor in 1970, but now it's reducing the footprint of that campus, is that right?
Nuttall: It is, and it's an end of an era, of sorts. From its arrival in 1969, Kodak was known for its good-paying jobs and involvement in the community. In 1999, the Business Report called Kodak an indelible part of Northern Colorado, employing 1,800 people with an annual payroll of $80 million. The Windsor site was the primary manufacturing center for medical X-ray film, thermal media, motion-picture film and color paper, and was involved in some stages of manufacturing photographic films and cameras. Kodak Polychrome Graphics also manufactured printing plates there.
O'Toole: Those all sound like products that have been overtaken by the rise in digital imaging.
Nuttall: That's exactly what happened, Erin. Kodak saw steady growth every year until 2005, and then a sharp decline began. Traditional photo film gave way to digital photography, and more and more consumers began keeping their photos on digital media, rather than printing them on paper. Eventually Kodak consolidated some of its Windsor divisions to plants in other states.
O'Toole: What's happening on the Windsor campus now?
Nuttall: The local downsizing began in 2007, when Kodak sold its health imaging business to Carestream Health Inc. Then Kodak merged its entertainment imaging and lithoplate manufacturing divisions in 2009, and announced the layoffs of 300 people. Since 2010, the four buildings at the northernmost end of the 2,200-acre campus have been empty.
O'Toole: The demolition will be of just those four buildings then, not the whole campus?
Nuttall: That's right. Carestream occupies three buildings elsewhere on campus, and Kodak is still in the business of making color paper and thermal media in two other buildings. Kodak employs about 200 people, while Carestream has about 450 employees still working on the Windsor site.
O'Toole: I'm curious why Kodak didn't try to sell those four buildings instead of tearing them down…
Nuttall: The buildings, which encompass 1 million square feet total, were built specifically for Kodak processes, and would have been very difficult to repurpose, according to the company. Kodak also told us that it wanted to do what it believes is best for the community and the businesses that remain at the site. Deconstruction was the best option to relieve the company of their overhead costs and minimize adverse environmental effects.
O'Toole: You said "deconstruction." Is that different from demolition?
Nuttall: It is, Erin. The first two phases — asbestos abatement and material salvage — have already been completed. Phase three, which started yesterday, involves recycling as much as 90 percent of the building materials. The company doing the work, Alpine Demolition of Arvada, estimates that it will remove over 100,000 tons of reusable concrete, in addition to electrical and mechanical components, wood, steel and copper, from the four buildings.
O'Toole: What happens then?
Nuttall: When deconstruction is complete, in the fourth phase, Alpine will reseed the area with native grasses, leaving it ready for new developers to purchase. The 320-acre industrial parcel is being marketed through CB Richard Ellis in Denver for an undisclosed price.
O'Toole: When does Kodak expect the site to be cleared?
Nuttall: Deconstruction of the buildings should be completed in August, and reseeding will take place in September. But when the buildings are gone, they won't be forgotten. A model of the original Kodak plant, as well as other historical items, will be kept at the Windsor Art and Heritage Center at 115 Fifth St.
Jeff Nuttall is publisher of the Northern Colorado Business Report.

"Considering the health of students and teachers throughout the country and reducing the impact of the epidemic, we will extend the suspension of schools (including kindergartens) and remedial classes to 6/14," Education Minister Pan Wenzhong said, referring to the need for parents to take preventive care leave if they have children under the age of 12 or physically or mentally disabled children in their homes. 」

Code of Conduct for Epidemic Prevention, which can begin today
Longer suspensions, changing work distances, and social distances from others have dramatically changed family life around the world, including in Taiwan.
Among them, parents go through a lot of things, including how we take care of our children while working from home. Therefore, today's Code of Action on Epidemic Prevention wants to give parents at home a series of simple guidelines, through the following four actions, can maintain the steady output of their work, while doing a good job of the role of parents:
1. Make a clear division of childcare with your partner
If you have strong partners (e.g. partners, co-parents, etc.) in child-rearing, you can work together to share the responsibilities of childcare equally. And if at home, you and partners on the concept of parenting, or therefore dispute, you can first try to complete the common care of the part, others can spend more time to coordinate and communicate, don't forget your common expectations, are hope to give children a better learning environment.
In addition, partners should have good communication and weigh each other's responsibilities, such as when one person needs to get the job done, the other can stop and care about the children, or take a break and recharge.

2. Seek assistance from the resources around you
If you're a single parent or mom, remember to rely on a possible support system, whether it's a friend, family member, or neighbor who can help you, ask for help when necessary, and don't feel guilty about asking for help. Of course, you have to make sure that your child is healthy with other people who are willing to help you.
If you have to take care of your children while you're at home, remember to keep in touch with colleagues, supervisors, and be transparent about your situation, keeping in touch gives you a good idea of your new work status, syncing with each other avoids misunderstandings caused by unnecessary information gaps, and provides you with opportunities to communicate normally.
For your child, try to help them keep in touch with one or two classmates and friends, and without normal social activities at school, children are more likely to feel isolated, they will miss school, miss friends, and it is important to pay attention to their emotional state while studying at home.
3. Establish communication habits with your child
During the epidemic, not only parents feel helpless, but children will also. Therefore, the establishment of open communication with children, exchange ideas and moods of the safety net, help each other heal, understand each other.
Remember to tell your child that if they feel depressed, uncomfortable, or anxious in an online class, they can always talk to you, after all, in the face of new things, everyone may have something that doesn't fit, please tell your child, even adults, that we are still learning. Of course, online learning can also have negative effects, and if you find your child over-indulged in online activities, games, or communities, you can try active support and encouragement, inviting him to engage in other activities, such as reading, exercising, or other offline activities.
Each child is unique, they may need to communicate in different ways, there may be different emotions during home vaccination, you can take the time to adjust your condition, while understanding your child's needs, will help you communicate the best way to live at home.

4. Be flexible, but also set the necessary restrictions for your child
It is important to set the necessary restrictions for your child during long-distance work. In other words, giving your child a certain amount of time to watch cartoons, using electronics, giving them more flexible play space to keep them busy while you work can help you stay focused for personal time, but you need to establish the basic principle with your child that "this freedom will not last forever." 」
In addition to opening up the restrictions of the past and setting new rules, when you need to work hard, you should also tell your child when to enter the "do not disturb" mode, suspension means "even at home, we still have to complete as students", suspension is not a holiday, but we must start a new mode of life.
Working from home and stopping school is a real challenge for parents, you have to play multiple roles in the same space at the same time, and you have to be able to switch at any time without affecting the principles and performance of either side, this matter is particularly difficult in the epidemic, many foreign reports, but also can see that over the past year a considerable number of people are discussing related issues.
Dear reader, if you still have a little card off, that is normal, you may need a little time to adjust their living conditions, or really can not, you can try to communicate with the supervisor, to see if you can approve the application for epidemic prevention care leave in the short term, to adjust the good condition before returning to work.
If you're not sure about your personal state during this time, or if you need more ways to ease your anxiety, invite you to read the following articles together, and we'll continue to provide you with the support you need, remember that all problems aren't your responsibility alone, practice embracing your weak self, and then find a secure support network that allows us to feel safe in times of uneasiness.
- If you want to communicate with a naughty child:
- If your child's mood is a little messy:
- If the living room is like being blown up:

Although everyone is on the lookout for the next champion two-year-old who is eligible to race for millions of dollars, it is very important for each stable to have those bread and butter horses that are consistent and reliable.
These horses are usually the older horses who are able to back up week after week and keep earning a cheque at every run.
Quite often these guys become stable favourites as they are great natured however they have each learnt a few tricks over the years. This is definitely the case with the three old boys in our Victorian Stable.
While the term "Dad's Army" might sound a little uncomplimentary, Naadji, Chiefcomingfirst (pictured) and Mr Smile know that they call the shots around the stable.
Naadji (six years old), Mr Smile (seven) and Chiefcomingfirst (eight) have all been back in work for a few months and are ready to go back to the races within the next week.
They have all been showing good signs at the trials and will start over shorter trips before stepping up to the staying distances over the next few months.
While they each still have plenty to offer on the flat, you can expect to see at least a couple of them heading towards the lucrative jumps races through the winter where they have been displaying good ability at home.
In other news, we will see plenty heading back to the races shortly. They have all been trialling well and we are looking forward to the coming weeks.

The first reason for anyone to consider a property in the BVI has to be for the good climate and the hot sun that is present most of the year round. There are many properties to choose from and now is a good time to consider investing in that dream property that you have always promised yourself. Below are some of the main reasons people choose to purchase a property in the BVI.
1. Emigrating – Has become hugely popular over the recent years, partly due to a large number of people becoming disillusioned with the high cost of living in the UK or the US or even seeing more crime in their local area. Even though the property prices have fallen in the USA and UK, your money may go further overseas, especially in a region like the BVI where the weather is near perfect all year round.
2. Holidays that Provide a Holiday – Purchasing a holiday home in the BVI can take all of the stress out of your holidays each year, no more will you need to search around to find the perfect bars and restaurants, or try to find the children something to occupy them and finding what is safe for them.

Twitching Tongues release new video for 'Gaining Purpose' and a 'making of' of their latest album
This Friday, March 9th, Twitching Tongues will release their new album, 'Gaining Purpose Through Passionate Hatred', through Metal Blade Records. a video for the new single, "Gaining Purpose" was shot at the band's previous two U.S. tours leading up to the album's release. There is also a making of, which you can find below.
The title for Twitching Tongues' fourth full-length, Gaining Purpose Through Passionate Hatred, was drawn from a quote by famed social philosopher Eric Hoffer – "Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life" – and it reflects the band's mentality in approaching the record: paying homage to those who supported them while belligerently responding to their detractors.
With "failure" as a core theme driving Colin Young's lyrics, it also features his first foray into the political arena, motivated by the contemporary political climate to speak his mind. Directly inspired by film scores, the record has a strong epic feel, the band realizing their vision of having the music flow like a story being told. With interconnected parts, musical references and callbacks in each song, everything is tied together in a manner unlike any of their previous releases. At the same time, while maintaining the same levels of hardness and aggression that has characterized their later work, it features much more immediate and memorable melodies, which evoke the sound of In Love There Is No Law yet at the same time feel fresh and new.

Heading out on the open road for a winter getaway to the Northwoods of Wisconsin can be just what the doctor ordered to beat those wintertime blues. However, traveling during this time of year also requires a little extra planning and an awareness of your surroundings to ensure you reach your destination safely.
You never know when you could encounter inclement weather heading up Hwy 51 and it really only takes a little extra effort to make sure you are fully prepared for whatever comes your way.
If traveling to Nitschke's Northern Resort by car, it's a good idea to have it serviced before heading out on your journey to make sure everything is in tip-top condition. You do not want to be broken down by the side of the road during frigid temperatures, although the friendly locals around here are sure to stop and help if you do. Either way, it's still a good idea to have your tire pressure and treads checked, fluid levels filled, and fresh wiper blades put on.
According to AAA, keep the following 3 tips in mind while navigating icy, snow-covered roads:
1. Snow-covered roads are sure to decrease your tires ability to grip the road. Be sure to drive slowly and increase the amount of distance between you and the car in front of you since it will take longer for you to stop your car. (A distance of about 5-6 seconds is good.) Avoid accelerating or decelerating quickly which is sure to increase the likelihood of your car sliding on any ice and try to avoid stopping altogether especially when going uphill.
2. Keep your car stocked with some emergency supplies that you hopefully will never use. In case of a breakdown, you would need several blankets, sweatshirts, thick gloves, and other extra winter clothes to keep warm. It's a good idea to have handy a flashlight, ice scraper, cell phone charger you can plug into your vehicle, and emergency flares. Stock up on other necessities such as bottles of water and nonperishable food items like granola bars, trail mix, or peanut butter crackers and never let your fuel tank get below half full.
3. Check the weather forecast before you head out. If any winter storms loom, try to find an alternate route around the storm or change the timing of your travel if necessary. Don't worry, we'll keep your cabin nice and toasty warm for you when you do eventually arrive. Safety first!
While there are a few extra things to prepare for when traveling in the winter, it is also a beautiful and serene time of year for a getaway in the Northwoods. Just follow these tips to ensure you are prepared and ready for your Northern Resort winter vacation!

HomeDirty TackleIf superheroes had their own Sunday league
If superheroes had their own Sunday league
May 1, 2015
YouTube channel Ronnie Street Stunts released this video a few weeks ago, but if, like me, you're just seeing it now, it's worth a watch. The premise is simple: two teams of fictional characters from Superman and Wonder Woman to Super Mario and Hermione Granger play a football match against each other with no superpowers barred.
I think the main takeaway from this video is that Jose Mourinho and Gandalf have similar managerial styles.

In order to answer this question in detail, first you need to look at the overall picture of the development of the IT sector in recent years. Let's take a look at the numbers and take a look at the future forecasts from the world's recognized analytical companies.
IT market statistics for the last few years
The IT market from year to year shows a positive development trend. The trend towards ubiquitous robotization and automation of routine production processes is only fueling this growth.
Here is the data of one of the world's most reputable research and consulting companies specializing specifically in global technology markets — Gartner.
The table shows that the most significant growth is in the share of enterprise software. Moreover, according to forecasts, the growth in this industry of the IT market is only gaining momentum and in 2020 will be almost 11%, and sales in this segment will cross the psychological mark of half a trillion dollars and amount to 507 billion dollars.
Analysts attribute this data to the widespread use of cloud technologies. The development of technologies that provide high-speed and reliable access to the network has led to the transfer of most local solutions to the cloud. It has become more reliable to store data in the cloud, and not on your own servers. Office applications, CRM or a complete IT infrastructure — everything is transferred to the «cloud» or deployed from the very beginning based on cloud technologies.
This, in turn, does not require the purchase of powerful equipment when deploying an IT infrastructure, or changing the existing one for a more modern one when expanding. For most of the staff, relatively weak machines have become enough — after all, all calculations are performed on a cloud server, which can be arbitrarily powerful.
According to the data and forecasts of the same Gartner, in the next 3 years the cloud services market will show growth that is three times higher than the growth of the IT services market, and will amount to 17.5%.
- BPaaS — business process as a service;
- IaaS — infrastructure as a service;
- PaaS — platform as a service;
- SaaS — software as a service.
Note: Rounded figures are used in the table.
Now let's look at specific numbers and analyze what the IT market is. Is it big or small, and what should be done in order not to get lost among a huge number of companies?
IT market analysis
Let's turn to the statistics again, only this time — no forecasts, only exact numbers. According to Forbes, the ranking of the most valuable brands of 2019 as of May 23 is headed by Apple.
As you can see, most of the companies are related to the IT industry. This suggests that the IT market is huge and represents great prospects for start-up companies. Especially one of its segments is the IT services market. In 2018, the total expenses of companies on IT services and business services have already exceeded $1 trillion and continue to show a positive growth trend in 2019.
Back to Apple for a moment: how does the company manage to maintain its ninth consecutive number one spot amid falling sales in one of its biggest markets, China? The point is that although electronics sales are falling in some regions, services revenue continues to grow across all regions. This is a vivid example of how the support of a developed product sometimes brings a large profit that is resistant to market fluctuations.
By focusing on immediate development, companies often lose sight of the opportunity to earn on the subsequent maintenance and modernization of the final solution. Although, it would seem, who can know their product better than a developer? That is why customers need to make proposals with a long-term perspective on possible future scaling and technical support. It should be borne in mind that most of them do not like to go into details and may have a superficial idea of their own order. It is necessary to conduct conversations with such clients, covering all aspects of the project with a reserve for further participation in its implementation.
Apple went this way from the very beginning. The company has combined all its products into its own «ecosystem». Using devices inside it is very convenient, pleasant and easy. It seems that there is nothing more perfect than the "Apple ecosystem". But at the same time, it is necessary to go beyond this ecosystem and the use of gadgets becomes completely unbearable. It was the sale of services that allowed Apple to regain its leading position. We can say that they took the formula of a unique selling proposition (USP) and elevated it to an absolute.
Unique selling proposition and competitive advantage
Let's talk in more detail about such concepts as «unique selling proposition» and «competitive advantage». At first glance, they may seem similar, but this is not entirely true. What is USP and how does it differ from competitive advantage? Let's take an example.
Unique selling proposition
For any company that wants to enter the IT market, it is important to understand that the market is a harsh reality in which there is an ongoing struggle for each client. One of the tools of this struggle is the unique selling proposition.
There are cases when the right USP helped companies get out of the clutches of imminent bankruptcy. An example is Avis, a car rental company. In 1962, the company fell on hard times and almost went bankrupt, as competitor Hertz occupied a large part of the market.
The owners of Avis came to the decision that it was necessary to expand the advertising campaign, and turned to the agency Doyle Dane Bertzbach. The agency decided to approach the problem outside the box (at that time) and turned a bad characteristic — «not a leading company» — into a good one.
They made a lot of slogans, the essence of which boiled down to the following: we are only second in the car rental market, so we cannot afford to do our job poorly. We cannot afford half-empty tanks, dirty ashtrays, badly washed cars, or insufficiently polite customer service. After the advertising campaign was launched, Avis increased its market share from 11% to 35% in just 4 years.
Competitive advantage
This is what distinguishes your company from companies competing with you in the market. Literally: anything that gives you an advantage. Competitive advantage can be:
- a successful business idea and its subsequent implementation;
- more qualified and trained personnel;
- a memorable web page address (shop.rf);
- a good company name that reflects the essence of its activities, or indicates a clear superiority over other market participants;
- own production and access to inexpensive and high-quality raw materials.
The list can be continued indefinitely. In today's market realities, one of the important competitive advantages is well-implemented automation of business processes.
Best practice
Personal business process automation is the development of applications and their configuration for the specific needs of the client. It is more expensive, but has a number of significant advantages over ready-made solutions. The main advantages of personal automation include:
- the ability to connect and work with different data sources within a single system;
- the ability to choose the best solutions from various systems and combine them into your own integrated system;
- tools and applications are developed or modified in accordance with the specific tasks and needs of the client.
As practice shows, small development companies that do not need to reshape the internal structure of departments and the interaction between them are the fastest to adapt to the market.
Personal automation can be used equally effectively in both very large and very small projects. An example is the young and dynamic development company Sailet. She has a lot of completed projects to her credit. All of them were successful, although they vary in degree of complexity and scale.
It is always mutually beneficial to work with small companies engaged in personal business process automation. On the one hand, this is a professional development team, the level of which is often higher than that of employees of large corporations, and on the other hand, this is still a small well-coordinated team in which decisions are made quickly and jointly. There are no "dead phone" situations when orders come down from above and require constant clarifications, while delaying the workflow.
In addition, when ordering automation from small companies, you can be sure that you will not include in the price the cost of maintaining a huge staff of accountants, HR specialists, an advertising department and many others that are necessary for corporations, but which you will have to pay.
Personal automation is needed where standard solutions do not fit or where maximum efficiency is required. In addition, partial personalization is possible with the development of your own frontend for a ready-made backend. For example, the development of mobile and web applications.

Oil Change Services in Salem, NH
A Quick Guide to Routine Oil Changes
No vehicle lasts forever, but there are some things you can do to make yours last a lot longer. Extending the lifespan of your car requires an investment in routine maintenance. You should get the tires rotated and the wheels aligned regularly. Also make sure that you routinely invest in oil change and replacement oil filters. This is one of the best things you can do to safeguard your vehicle against everyday wear and tear. It will also keep your car running smoothly and efficiently and will ultimately save you money on costly repair work. Learn more from the team at Meineke #533 in Salem NH .How Does Engine Oil Work?
In order to understand why oil changes are so important, it is first necessary to understand what engine oil actually does. It plays a couple of key roles, one of which is transferring heat away from the engine. This prevents the engine from growing too hot while it's in use. Additionally, engine oil acts as a kind of car lube, keeping the engine components from rubbing against one another and causing too much friction. In short, engine oil keeps your engine running smoothly while extending its lifespan and safeguarding you against everyday engine wear and tear caused by driving in the streets of . Visit located on for routine oil filter maintenance.How Often Are Oil Changes Needed?
Oil changes are necessary, but how often? This is a difficult question to answer, as there are a few things that contribute to how often oil changes are needed. It used to be that oil changes were required more regularly. Today, technology has advanced enough that oil changes are needed less often. The exact interval just depends on the make and model of your vehicle. You might try consulting your owner's manual for a specific number. If that doesn't work, you can simply bring it down to Meineke #533 in Salem NH for an evaluation.What if You Skip an Oil Change?
The effects can be pretty dire if you neglect the oil change needs of your vehicle. First and foremost, the engine will overheat. It will not function as effectively and the engine parts may melt or become misshapen. Plus, friction may cause further damage. Eventually, without regular oil changes, your engine will give out completely and you will have to buy a whole new one. This is obviously undesirable, but a regular auto filter change from Meineke #533 can prevent you from experiencing this.Where Can You Get an Oil Change?
Though DIY oil changes are possible, they can be difficult and are often better left to professionals. For your oil change and auto filter change needs, come to our center at 6 Kelly Road—and don't forget to check the Meineke oil change coupons page beforehand!Schedule Oil Change service today

This thoughtful New Yorker article sparked a lively debate on my friend's Facebook wall. Most people seemed fairly hostile towards the approach.
https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/the-harsh-realm-of-gentle-parenting?fbclid=IwAR2w3BU2cflPZZMLad5SxE-8LtsPS5JxyW3ixNIJzn_d9-i1KywyZ7n4Mf4 The article says, "In its broadest outlines, gentle parenting centers on acknowledging a child's feelings and the motivations behind challenging behavior, as opposed to correcting the behavior itself." The New Yorker article goes on to say, "a gentle parent holds firm boundaries, gives a child choices instead of orders, and eschews rewards, punishments, and threats—no sticker charts, no time-outs, no "I will turn this car around right now."" What's interesting about this is firm boundaries and choices (versus orders) sound contradictory to me, right? You either have boundaries OR choices, not both. VeryWellFamily.com defines gentle parenting as, "Gentle parenting focuses on fostering the qualities you want in your child by being compassionate and enforcing consistent boundaries. Unlike some more lenient parenting methods, gentle parenting also encourages discipline, but in an age-appropriate way. Discipline methods focus on teaching valuable life lessons rather than focusing on punishments." These two different practices with the same name seem to have contradictory ideas. Guidepost.Montessori defines gentle parenting as, "Gentle parenting is a parenting approach that encourages a partnership between you and your child to make choices based on an internal willingness instead of external pressures. This parenting style asks you to become aware of the behaviour you model for your child, encourages compassion, welcomes emotions and accepts the child as a whole, capable being." It's not clear that this third approach eschews boundaries, either. It looks like a lot of the controversy is based on the differences in how gentle parenting is defined versus how it is practiced. Perhaps a lot of parents who like the idea of gentle parenting have trouble maintaining boundaries? It's hard to say. For myself, I don't like the term "gentle" because it sounds loaded. It sounds like maybe parents aren't supposed to have strong emotions, never mind strong words for their child. I don't know about you but for me, I am definitely not gentle (in my words and feelings) all of the time. Also, I find that people tend to equate "gentle" with permissive. Being afraid of upholding boundaries. I believe strong boundaries are essential not only for parents but for children. Boundaries make children feel safe! I prefer the term "respectful" parenting. It sounds like it allows some big feelings on either side. It suggests that you don't have to be calm all the time. You just have to manage those strong emotions in a thoughtful way. I am not a leader – by any stretch of the imagination – in the respectful parenting movement, if indeed there is one. But this is how I define respectful parenting to my clients:
This is simply not true of respectful parenting. You acknowledge the emotion and correct the behavior. "I know you're mad we have to leave. Do you want to put on your shoes or do you want me to help you?" "Across the parenting boards and group texts, one can detect a certain restlessness. A fatigue is setting in: about the deference to a child's every mood, the strict maintenance of emotional affect, the notion that trying to keep to a schedule that could "authoritarian." Sometimes, the people are saying, a tantrum isn't worthy of being placed on a pedastal. Sometimes, they plead, their voices rising past a gentle threshold, you just need to put your freaking shoes on." I couldn't agree more... with most of this. A tantrum should not be placed upon a pedastal. It should be tolerated, then the parent should offer a hug and move on. A schedule is authoritarian and there is no problem with this. Children's brains are not developed enough to drive the daily schedule. We adults need to do our adulting, parenting jobs. To make decisions that our children may not like. And when it's time to go, yes, you need to put on your freaking shoes. But I think this can be accomplished just as clearly without the negativity of "freaking". The reason for the "freaking" is that the parent is asking too many times. THIS, not gentle/respectful parenting, is the culprit. Ask only once, then "help" to get the job done, before you are annoyed. The only part of the above quote I disagree with is this: this is not a definition of respectful parenting and I bet it's not a rule of gentle parenting too. It's the opposite. Respectful parenting isn't easy. It's hard to always keep your cool. But by respecting your own boundaries and acting swiftly, before they are crossed, parenting actually gets a lot easier.

Problems or goals can seem insurmountable... but a little support along the way can change everything.
I've been privileged to receive life coaching in various forms over the last two years and now want to share my experience with you as I finish my certification as a life coach myself. My clients will receive three months of complimentary life coaching. There's no catch. You just have to agree to a three-month committment of weekly one-hour sessions -- of course, if you don't feel it's serving you, you are free to stop sooner -- and to bring a challenge or goal to your first session. Not sure what life coaching is? Life coaching is a bit like therapy, only instead of being mostly past-focused, it's future focused. It helps you move forward in your life to achieve the life you have always dreamed of having. I have used life coaching to address issues such as anxiety, grief, relationships, parenting, work-life balance and more. Life coaching works for nearly everything because it isn't about my knowledge of your challenge or goal, it's about helping you understand how your thoughts create everything you have in your life. If you are interested, please send me a quick email and tell me what you would like help with! I'll let you know within one week if you have been chosen. I can't wait to support you in conquering a goal or challenge! Can you sleep train a newborn?
Well, it depends. The very large practice, Tribeca Pediatris, says you can do twelve hours of "cry it out" sleep training at 2 months old. They estimate it will take 3 days and you'll be done. For those who aren't ready for this at two-months-old -- and there are many of us! -- here are some gentler strategies to improve sleep that don't involve any crying. Need help implementing better-sleep-strategies? Schedule a complimentary sleep coaching session and discover how your family's sleep can be transformed by amazing sleep. |

Who we are
Since its foundation Outdoor Portofino has been carrying out all of these activities involving experts and local realities. Aim of the project is to spread a greater awareness of nature and the territory and the behaviors to respect them.
A project that has been going on since 2011, but that was put at risk in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and its economic cuts. Thanks to The North Face we have the support to move forward and have the resources to concretely get back to working on research, coastal cleaning, monitoring and citizen science activities.
Within CRABS, we find two different strengths: the Team and the Community.
Crabs Team
A small group of high skilled, motivated and very well trained people ready for action whenever there is a need to intervene in those areas difficult to access. This group is made up by some members of the OP Team and by other enthusiasts (and experts) of the outdoor world. Some of the activities the team will be called to conduct are cleanup, data collection for monitoring and research activities. The Crabs Team will be working closely with research bodies, such as Portofino's Marine Protected Area and the CNR (Science, Research Council).
A group of qualified people ready for action
Coasts cleanup in areas that are difficult to access
Protect the sea, nature and its ecosystems
Coastal area in the Park of Portofino
Kayaking, Coasteering, Standup paddleboarding
Crabs Community
The project also sees the involvement of the local community through educational events with the participation of environmental professionals. A set of initiatives open to the public aiming to raise awareness of respect and knowledge of nature and its ecosystems. Citizen science activities such as monitoring and data collection, waste gathering and cleanup actions, participatory surveys, environmental and ecological observations.

The City of Tucson wants permission from voters to spend all the money it collects during the next four years, overriding state spending limits by about $42 million.
If passed on Nov. 3, Proposition 400, also called the Home Rule Proposition, will allow Tucson the option to spend 100 percent of what it collects in revenue, instead of putting some into savings as Arizona law requires.
Every year, the Arizona Economic Estimates Commission determines the amount municipal and county governments can spend without a city override, based on population growth and revenue from taxes and other income.
Proposition 400 will not raise taxes or fees, according to city officials.
Most city services, including public safety, parks and recreation, and business development are paid for with property taxes and fees from things like parking tickets and permit applications.
""Whatever money we have coming in, we have to spend it for this community,"" said Ward 6 City Councilwoman Nina Trasoff. ""There's nothing wrong with saving it or putting it in reserves, but right now we need to be putting the money into the programs.""
Trasoff said the money would be spent to fill holes in the city budget created by the recession.
In 2010, all Tucson services will operate from a total budget of about $1.3 billion, including about $51 million in federal stimulus funds.
While the total has increased $16.5 million from Fiscal Year 2009, the portion over which the council has discretion, the General Fund, has decreased by $49 million.
The General Fund represents only about 32 percent of Tucson's total bank account, according to the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2010.
An additional 17 percent accounts for enterprise funds like Tucson Water, which bills citizens directly, and the rest, about 51 percent, is regulated by law.
Although there is much speculation on whether the city will raise taxes if voters pass Proposition 200, which would increase police and fire staffing, the city budget reflected that overall tax rates will drop in 2010.
The council has recently come under fire for spending on non-essential programs like KIDCO, a free afterschool education and recreation program for elementary-age children.
""We could cut everything that promotes quality of life,"" Trasoff said in an interview Thursday, ""but that would only save us $3 million.""
CBS Tucson affiliate KOLD reported Thursday that the Tucson Association of Realtors, the primary sponsor of Proposition 200, has also endorsed Proposition 400.
Colin Zimmerman, public affairs director for the association, was quoted by KOLD
as saying, ""It proves that we're not out there to push back. If it's good, it's good.""
Questions remain as to whether now is the right time for the city to bet the pot.
""We're learning our lesson for not being responsible with our money,"" said Erin Sperling, a political science senior. ""(Council members) haven't been spending our money like they would spend their money.""
Speaking on his own behalf in a phone interview Tuesday night, state chair for Arizona College Republicans Andrew Clark said he'd feel more comfortable if the city kept a cushion in case the economy worsened.
""I would vote against it,"" he said. ""I don't know that we've seen the bottom yet, but there's a high degree of probability that we could see that happen.""
Both Propositions can be read in original format on the Tucson City Clerk's website at www.ci.tucson.az.us/clerks.

Gathering Bones
During the weeks before a ritual circle, I am immersed in the energies of that particular circle's theme. This month we are exploring the mythos of Bone Womyn, (a mysterious and powerful figure mentioned in the collection of women's teaching stories by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.). She who gathers bones and breathes life back into them. I am fascinated by the depth of my experience as I focus my full attention on this energy.
There are layers of meaning in every moment as I feel the presence of this circle honoring Bone Womyn as the energies build momentum. We are welcoming the restorative energies Bone Womyn represents, just in time for Spring's arrival.
As I sit in silence, breathing deeply and opening my senses to this old myth, this Old One, I am guided to delve more deeply into the hidden symbolism buried within the story and what they mean to me. I encourage my curiosity to wander. Researching sources of this myth, its origins and the connections I find with the threads of the story's underlying messages, I begin my meditation with a
bit of music to welcome Bone Womyn's Presence…
From my meditation journal…."Sinking into the meditation, I discover a deeper sense of solidity pervading…a solidity and strength that has a newness to it. Perceiving more thoroughly I wonder, is that a strengthening of my confidence I sense there?
Hmmm. Interesting. Bone Womyn moves closer to my inner wisdom's range with every passing moment, it seems. Deeper awareness. Deepening, deepening. Down into my bones, our bones, I sink. Listening deeply brings such rich rewards. The Ancestors are speaking in their ancestor tongues. If we listen intensely for the wisdom that comes from our bones.
Ancient soul-bones whispering of hidden knowledge. As science develops technology, and the lost is found, archaeology reveals to us. Languages of the Ancients, spoken in symbols, in dreams and inner realms – each in our own tongue. Visions of neurons firing, blazing unknown pathways, fresh patterns, transforming the old ways to recreate anew.
What do you choose? Where are you going? Do you know? To see our future selves, we must stand clear. Move away from the lies buried deep within. Finding our way home. Listening to the mysteries intrinsic to our evolving humanity, to our truth, that voice of our Soul-Bones. Woven from our earth's minerals, created in our mother's wombs. Hear the harmony singing in the Bones as we are called home to our whole Selves."
"Wild Bones"
"The state of affairs in the world today, are of the crazy-making kind. A glimmer of hope was heard to live, when the wild and twisted darkness was called forth into the light of day. Withering when lost again in their nonsensical musings, word-spells of those who use the tricks of the shiny-shine, to look the other way! Listen deeply to the dead, the ancient and the recent. The bones remain behind, singing in the winds of change. Re-minding, re-membering, to see past the mirror, past the shiny-shine, into the depths of reality. The bones sing of forgotten treasure. Learning from that which has past, for those who still live, to serve, to hope, to dare."
Back from my meditative journey, I am reunited with a more in tune part of my self, the part that remembers our wholeness. The part that is inseparable from nature and its cycles. The part that remembers…I AM Nature. To live in harmony with nature, means to live in harmony with my self, my whole self and all its imperfections. Perfect in its imperfectness. Restoration includes an embracing of the original.
Upon reflection, I am reminded of the words of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes…"[Bone Womyn] as an archetype is an inimicable and ineffable force which carries a bounty of ideas, images, and particularities for humankind. Archetype exists everywhere and yet is not seeable in the usual sense. What can be seen of it in the dark cannot be seen in daylight."
Archetypal energies exist in human consciousness as a reminder of the multi-dimensionality of our humanity. Through the exploration of the mysteries of creativity, I have access to a more expansive inner landscape, filled with symbols and fecund with treasure for my artist's soul.
"Though this site (our inner realms where the "biological meets the psychological") transmits great psychic wealth, it must be approached with preparation, for one may be tempted to joyously drown in the rapture of one's time there. Consensual reality may seem less exciting by comparison. In this sense, the deeper layers of psyche can become wobbly ideas and airy presentments. That is not who it's meant to be. How one is meant to return is wholly washed or dipped in a revivifying and informing water, something which impresses upon our flesh the odor of the sacred." Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD
By plumbing the depths of my own psyche, prepared to meet the demands of the unconscious, and able to integrate the information found there in my daily life, I use my creative expression to weave meaning into my art. Art then becomes an opportunity of transformation for the viewer. All this is accomplished from the drive to recognize the sacred and reveal it to others who are interested in the mystery.
( "Wild Bones" poem by C. Shepard – c2014 – Original Art by C. Shepard )

Donations Benefit Strainhurst Green Thumbs
Russ Baldwin | Apr 30, 2015 | Comments 0
It's just a small sized plot of land at the Strainhurst Apartment Complex along East Cedar Street in Lamar, but it means a lot to many of the residents. Using $300 in funds from a past yard sale, coupled with $2,000 in donations of materials, the residents there have built an above-ground vegetable garden.
"It took them only three days to complete all this," said Kim Fournier, Executive Director of the Lamar Housing Authority, "They really were happy to get all this donated and get the project underway," The donations mentioned consisted of cut railroad ties, plastic sheeting, manure, seeds and dirt. "We got the railroad ties from Diana and Dustin Tixier when we called to price some," according to Prudy Osborne from the Authority, "They just said, tell us what you need and there's no charge involved."
Big R provided plastic sheeting and seeds; the city added the dirt and the manure came from Tom Torrez. Fournier said Strainhurst has a storage shed and the garden tools are available when someone wants to work in their space in the garden. She singled out four residents, 91 year old Bob Harris, Sharon Poe, Cynthia Kaza and Richard Jara for doing most of the construction work to increase the scope of the garden. "Bob is amazing. When he sets his mind to a project, it gets done. He doesn't like to just sit around," Fournier explained.
Strainhurst has 80 apartments with about 100 residents and the ages vary from 60 to 91 and Osborne said there's a 98 year old lady that is planting her tomatoes for another year. "Over the past three years residents have gotten really involved in adding some color to our place, putting up planters on patios, painting poles and benches, growing lots of rose bushes, patio furniture, bird feeders…they've really brought this place to life," Fournier added, "You should stop by, the whole community should come and take a look in a couple of months to see what they've accomplished." Residents plant a host of table-ready produce including radishes, tomatoes, watermelon, squash beans, carrots and a few blue pumpkins were harvested last year.
Osborne said they'll begin to build some benches using the leftover timbers and circle a few of the trees so residents can sit outdoors in the shade. The Strainhurst annual yard sale is over the Memorial Day weekend and they will receive donations of unsold items from the SDS yard sale held on May 2. A special day is being planned to dedicate the garden to Shirley Hartley, who meant quite a lot to the Strainhurst residents.

In my last post I wrote about the public forum on December 2
for Mayor-elect Bowser's health and human services transition committee. That forum was dominated by issues of
homelessness, which was no surprise. But
this is still the committee – chaired by Laura Meyers and Louvenia Williams -
that will be making recommendations to the mayor-elect with respect to
disability concerns, as well. There are
crucial issues on the horizon – the need to bring the Evans lawsuit to a close,
a goal that's nearly within reach; the need to alter D.C.'s outmoded system of "commitment"
for individuals with significant intellectual disabilities; and the need to
broaden the system of waivers to cover not only persons with intellectual
disabilities, but those with developmental disabilities as well. If Laura Nuss, the current director of the
Department on Disability Services, is replaced at this time, all these urgent
goals will be dealt a serious setback.
Every one of you reading this has a stake in these essential reforms,
and therefore you have a stake in keeping Laura in this position.
The mayor-elect and her transition team have a great many
important decisions to make about filling key positions in the
administration. Just today she began
making her first appointments, but as she herself has said, not all incumbents
must go. She needs to hear from us, and
she needs to hear from us now, that Laura Nuss is one of the senior appointees
she must keep on the job! So put yourselves
down in front of your computers, go to the mayor-elect's transition website, www.wearewashingtondc.com,
hit "Contact us," and tell the mayor-elect, as well as Ms. Meyers and Ms.
Williams, that Laura Nuss needs to
stay. It'll only take you a minute,
but it's an important minute.
Once we know Laura is being kept on, we can get back to
focusing on the reform agenda. And when
the mayor-elect gets all these messages, she'll also know there's a
constituency out here that cares about disability issues, and we're going to
speak up!
All together now! Just
do it, folks!

Grants:IdeaLab/Enduring Truths and Context
Project idea edit
What is the problem you're trying to solve? edit
I'm speculating that women feel more personal agency in communicating personally experienced truths than in dealing with socially validated facts. Any approach which recognizes a gender difference as a valuable source of variety and strength would be appropriate. Know your desired audience, and now, your desired contributors as well.
Woman as Natural Creature Comparative Strengths (Strategic Improvements to Human Nature) Agency Investments in fostering constructive Agency Stewardship Truth (Internal Qualia) Example: Tetrachromatism Personal Intimate, close-at-hand Wealth Real Quality of Life, Health, and Well-Being Enduring Forms
Man as Role Model Comparative Strengths (Strategic Improvements to Human Nature) Circumstance Investments in altering the natural environment to be more comfortable and habitable Duty Facts (External Qualia) The Many Impossibilities of Flight: Challenging Conventional "Truths" Social Shared, Society, Culture, Global, Human Species Money The free and willing exchange of forms of Wealth; Goods and Services in variety, abundance and liberty Timely Processes
Just a guess.
What is your solution? edit
Ask women what would cause them to contribute as individuals, not as members of social groups.
Goals edit
Get Involved edit
Participants edit
Endorsements edit
- While I do not seem to understand the problem description, I think this idea (from section Solution) may lead to something interesting: "Ask women what would cause them to contribute as individuals, not as members of social groups." Manbe on could take the envisaged solution as the starting point. Let me rephrase the quote into what I consider my interpretation of the question to be: While Wikimedia projects are designed as individualistic games (viz. creating accounts to be shared by many are discouraged) it may be true that women tend to contribute to projects of this kind in a rather non-individualistic mode. What changes could be expected if women "contribute as individuals" and what would motivate them to do so? On a different note, seen in the light of this hypothesis: It may be worth while for Wikimedia projects to experiment with group accounts. --C.Koltzenburg (talk) 10:26, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

I always begin setting our table by start in the middle with the centerpiece. My two favorite things to incorporate are candlelight and greenery. Candles can be real or faux, sticks or pillars. I personally love real candlelight. If using pillars, I'd recommend placing them on a tray to protect your table just to be safe! Regardless, candlelight (even in the daytime) always seems to set a cozy mood. Then, I have a collection of vases in various sizes on a shelf in my pantry that I love to use for arrangements. Trader Joe's is my go to place for inexpensive, beautiful floral bouquets and greenery. I love their eucalyptus and magnolia stems for fall & winter tables!
Gather dishes, chargers, placemats and platters that are neutral so that things don't get too busy and the food can be the focal point! I love white dishes, wooden or metal chargers, and cloth linens that are cream, tan, or gray. Of course disposable napkins work too! Lay out your placemats and chargers at each place.
Place Settings
Place a plate on each placemat and/or charger, then gather your silverware. Forks go on the left, knives and spoons go on the right. Put each water glass in the top right corner of the placemat (above the knife). Lastly, I like to place my napkins on top of the dinner plates (instead of under the forks). I don't currently have napkin rings, but they're a great touch!
Now fill the table with yummy FOOD + YOUR PEOPLE and you can't go wrong! Happy Holidays!
Here are a few of our favorite recipes!

DHS experts will answer questions about COVID-19 vaccinations for children 6 months through 5 years old
- Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake, Wisconsin Department of Health Services
- Dr. Ryan Westergaard, Chief Medical Officer, DHS Bureau of Communicable Diseases
- Dr. Smriti Khare, pediatrician and chief mental and behavioral health officer, Children's Wisconsin, also representing the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics
Tuesday, June 21, 2022 from 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) supports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) recommendation that children ages 6 months through 5 years should be vaccinated against COVID-19. Children within this age group can begin receiving their COVID-19 vaccinations this week as shipments of both authorized Pfizer and Moderna vaccines continue to arrive in Wisconsin and are being distributed across the state.
The announcement follows the authorization and recommendation by both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the CDC for use of the Pfizer vaccine for children 6 months through 4 years of age as well as the Moderna vaccine for children 6 months through 5 years of age. This means that everyone 6 months and older is now eligible to receive vaccination against COVID-19.
"This news is critically important to the health of families across Wisconsin, making nearly 300,000 additional Wisconsin children eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19," said DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake. "Whether they are at day care, school, playing with their friends, or spending time with family, vaccinating your kids means they can do the things they love while also staying safe and healthy. We urge parents and guardians to get their children vaccinated as soon as possible to protect them and their families, friends, and loved ones from the virus."

A great little game for anyone from kids to seasoned musicians! The first player plays something, then the next person plays a variation of that, and it continues until it reaches the leader. A new leader then comes in and continues the fun!
Players are to be in a circle facing each other. Choose a leader to start.
Gameplay instructions
The leader starts by playing something four beats long. This is called an "event". Then the player to the right of the leader will then pick up on it and repeat the event immediately after the leader finishes - but with one small variation. Afterwards the next person to the right does the same thing, adding his/her variation. Repeat this pattern until it reaches the leader.
When the turn comes back to the leader, every player plays loud noises together for four beats. Then the person to the right of the leader becomes the new leader. The new leader starts a new event, again 4 beats.
Game end
The game continues until every player gets to be a leader. The end.
Gamemaster's notes
- For most people this game works best using all percussion.
- I find it helps to have the first leader do a 4 beat count in.
- Start with a slow or medium tempo.
- If you want to play longer: After every player had a chance to be the leader, the original leader can count off at a faster tempo for round 2. Starting with a new event, but faster. Try as many rounds as possible, playing faster each time, until someone completely messes up. Then it's game over.
- When coming back to the original leader instead of everyone making noise you can have everyone play a prepared 4 beat motif. A melody, percussive rhythmic pattern, or vocal chant for example.
