53 WAYS TO SAVE THE WORLD - YOU CAN DO IT
I live in Haight Ashbury, walking distance to 4 hospitals. There are homeless tents on the streets, but there is no rush on hospitals. We live in a high density homeless mecca. Homeless people in California have typhus, bubonic plague, tuberculosis, fleas and rats and more. Everything that is highly contagious and nasty, but no covid?
Same reports from friends I know in person in other parts of the San Francisco Bay Area who drive past hospitals every day. And reports from Los Angeles, which has the biggest visible homeless population! There are new web videos of high density homeless camps by different documentary makers every week. No ambulances, no body bags. If there was any of that at hospitals, DIY documentary makers would have it all over the web. I look everyday, nothing.
I also talked to a neonatal ICU nurse, long time neighbor of 8 years. My nurse friend also has a masters in science. The vaccine was never tested long enough to check if it works nor safe. So far the vaccine doesn’t work. Nurses were told it was only one time, not they have to take it again. The extra virulent strains are fake, excuses to spread more fear to make more money for chemical companies. Lockdown is not going away until you go look for yourself and do something about it.
Do not trust the screen. It wants you to be isolated, so you don’t talk to others to find swap notes, or go see for yourself to find out the truth. Your emails and messages can be diverted and edited, posts taken down from social media. No public gatherings is a Communist takeover tactic. Divide and conquer. Marxism and Communism are the same agenda, take your freedom and your property.
There is a virus, but it’s a deep fake AI computer virus telling you that people are ill when they aren’t. Telling you a loved one is in an ICU for covid, when they only have the common flu or common cold or another illness entirely. The people on the screen are actors. The network news doesn’t check its sources, it only copies what’s out there. There are currently major court cases about it, but fake covid new takes up all the news searches, so you don’t know about it.
The software to make the deep fakes that spread the fake virus news is free, developed in the USA by game makers. I research entertainment and marketing technology for an arts biz zine. The USA has been invaded. The government you just elected is pandering to this invasion. Follow the money. Follow the yellow brick road.
Throw in some communist agents to move things along with “Defund the police”, church smear campaigns, “cancel culture” and race riots, to keep you afraid and isolated. Now you are alone and unprotected and no privacy and no spiritual centers to gather for support or pray for comfort. But YOU CAN FIX THIS in the real world… don’t let anybody say you can’t.
If you are feeling like a deer in the headlights I understand. Here are some pointers to get started:
Do not trust the screen. Socializing face to face is the best brain and health development for children and adults. Put the screen down and step away. Get back out there and rebuild your humanbeingness. YOU CAN DO IT with confidence.
Meet up with your friends face to face. Adults won’t bully face to face in front of other people. Talk about what you see with your own eyes for real. People are less likely to lie to you face to face and you have a better chance of seeing it. You also have real friends to swap real notes to check stuff.
Saving the world is a lot of small things we can each do to make a big thing. We are stuck with the screen for some things for now. Maybe bills to pay or video meeting or online duties for work. Or online workshops if there’s no classes in your neighborhood. Use the screen for those, but sparingly. Do wear your mask in public and keep clean, but forget your fear. YOU ARE BRAVE to save yourself and your community.
Save money, the planet, your mental health and time:
(This is how the middle class paid their mortgages, got great educations, and made their neighborhoods successful safe communities.)
Get social in person.
Go to a meetup or volunteer.
Have a dinner party.
Don’t use disposables.
Don’t shop on the screen.
Chat at local grocers for eye witness news.
Learn to cook and sew.
Learn to fix stuff.
Learn to upcycle.
No paper towels or wipes.
Use reusable washable dishrags.
Buy stuff that lasts or is fixable.
Invest in local made stuff.
Hand wash instead of dry clean.
Use an iron to press your clothes.
Use a dishwasher to save water.
Learn to do math in your head.
Learn basic bookkeeping.
Learn how to save water.
Avoid plastics, especially for food.
Baking soda and dish soap instead of bleach.
Brown vinegar or alcohol instead of bug spray.
Tobacco instead of diet pills and brain enhancers.
Home cooked whole food instead of vitamin pills.
Eat food made or grown nearest to you.
Learn lateral thinking - seeing knock on effects.
Do crosswords and puzzles.
Read magazines and news printed on paper.
Hand write letters to people, great privacy.
Don’t go away on holidays. Have a party instead.
Invest in mom and pop shops.
Read paper books from friends and libraries
Make friends with your neighbors.
Have regular community gatherings.
Start a neighborhood watch.
Help each other out.
Rent out rooms to pay the mortgage.
Live within bicycle distance of shops.
Go solar and off grid.
Use reusable batteries.
Grow hydroponic veggies in an apartment.
Background check all information.
Keep kids in school until at least 21 years of age.
Do not teach your kids to play computer games.
Teach your kids to play screenless games with other kids.
Teach your children the stuff in this list.
Journal every day to process your thoughts.
Check your spending everyday to know the numbers.
Set a limit on spending, so you are not borrowing.
Ward off or reprogram negative influencers.
Do public down silent protests.
Give common sense practical reasons.
Hand write protest letters and send registered mail.
Even if you don’t believe in God, pray together.
Hugs heal lots of stresses and fears.
Think positive, be positive, do positive.
I’ll not write the book full of reasons why. Try it and learn for yourself.
Something Else Important to help your community:
The mental health hospitals, homeless help, drug rehab, and local medical clinics and museums, arts centers and schools that the government is closing down. Those were founded and funded by private people who donated them to your community out of their own pockets, on top of taxes. Same with the founded police forces.
A government does not have the right to take those away.
YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT, including the legal right, to organize and protest.
Group thought works just as well for positive stuff. YOU CAN DO THIS, don’t let anybody say you can’t. You can get out of your prison and save the world by putting the screen in its place. Face to face social community fun and human to human comfort and confidence.
You’ve been bamboozled by bigoted bitches. YOU HAVE THE BALLS to be beautiful bastards and blast the bitches back big time. Don’t need big bucks and YOU CAN DO IT SCREENLESS to better beef up your privacy and freedom to talk.
DO IT!!! <3
The Marxist chick who doesn’t know that Marxism kills freedom of speech and religion. FYI she is a concept performance artist for a living. Her thing is gathering people in public to do something to disrupt. It was getting everybody to go naked and paint themselves gold, that didn’t sell books. So they decided to call themselves Marxists, because college students love that stuff, because they don’t have the educations to know better. Throw in some communist agents to move things along and you have “Defund the police” campaigns.
Pull your s..t together and get out there and fight back. Reopen your shops and schools, only buy from mom and pop, tell the big corporations to f..k off.
You cannot patent a natural medicine. You are being bullied to take it to make big Pharma rich and put kill off natural medicine. Tobacco is a better vaccine for a lot of stuff, ask native Americans.
Stop believing the screen, use your own eyes and ears. Go back to print news.
Those people on the news reporting and giving interviews about the pandemic and vaccine are deep fakes. The software to make them is free.
and treated like mushrooms. Get out and fight back, save your people, save your mom and pop shops, save your neighborhood, save your community. If somebody says defund the police, lock them up because they are trying to make things worse for you on purpose.

Flowers and date night - an extension of The Dinner Party
The walks back to the cafe had been… well, not tiring, she was already emotionally exhausted, it just wore her down that much more, but at least she had woken up with enough time to make Savill some breakfast and start the coffee.
She unlocked the old door, cracked faded green as it has always been, and let herself in to start preparing for the day, closing it again with a practiced effort that flipped the closed sign to its open face. After two days of Savill’s mother looking down on absolutely everything about the two of them, she had to wonder if her mother would disapprove of how she’d changed the shop recently. It was a rather obvious change, and had shifted the demographics of her ‘normal crowd’ by a noticeable margin.
Shrugging the thought off, she set to cleaning the tables and setting the chairs back on the floor from atop them, then to making pastries for the breakfast crowd. Maybe Frittatas.
The day had gone by rather slowly, simply keeping her from a proper night’s rest in her own bed, and her eyes felt too heavy to keep open. It was a surprise when she failed to hear the door and instead was startled back to life by a heavy click on the counter and an assortment of flowers in front of her face.
“Are you…” the boy fishing out his order card couldn’t have been any older than her, and clearly a student if the bags under his eyes were anything to go by, “are you a Ms. Raya?”
They were for her? Suddenly her sun warmed spot turned electric and icey with shock and her eyes wide.
“I… Yes?” She hesitated, only a moment, before fishing out her ID and confirming to send the boy on his way.
There’s was a white noise, she noticed, in the cafe. All eyes were on her, and she couldn’t blame these oldies, Lynch had certainly come with a colorful show today.
“Who’s it from dear?” An elderly lady in the corner spoke up above the murmur in the room, having abandoned her crossword.
Honestly, she could have guessed, but all the same she looked at the small card sticking up in the center of the bouquet, if he wanted to make such a show, she’d engulfed it.
“Well?”
A tear escaped her eyes, she knew it would be from Savill, but it was still the most any guy had done for her and it was simply touching. And beautiful.
“… a… very good friend, Mrs. Korcari.”
Date Night The flowers had been… a lot. She knew them all by heart but surely he wouldn’t know that. The blood Lilly was a gorgeous touch and reminded her of him, none the less how beautiful the rest of the arrangement was. Her face had been red all day from the unexpected gesture; the people who sat in to eat had all made their comments on how lovely it was and how lucky she was to have someone so kind to her. They weren’t wrong, and it made her rethink her position; or rather, how she sat with it.
The day had dragged on after that, with her wanting to escape quickly, a plot in mind. She closed early even, not seeing and customers coming and those who did could wait u til tomorrow. Still, she stuck a sticky note to the glass of the door beside the closed sign with her apologies.
Between customers she had filled her time with making flower crowns of the batch she was given, one smaller one for herself and the other she hoped would rest easy on Savill’s messy head.
This morning she had been so exhausted, she honestly had low hopes for staying awake all day, but she’d been so excitable it wasn’t even an option any more, it was quite the challenge to simply speed walk to his house rather than run as it was.
When she got there, she made a point to close the door quietly, she she wasn’t sure who may be present, given it was still a place of work. Very quiet, very boring work. But no, no voices, just small clicks that gave away that he was still working none the less; Raya peeped just her eyes around the corner to see what he was up to.
Savill sat hunched over a small set of bones; she loved these commissions, the ones where it was just an assembly of bone and wire. There was a proper name for it, she was sure, but remembering it was too much of a hassle. This, how ever, meant he was adequately distracted for her to simply walk up to him and drop his flower crown on his head.
He jumped, rather harshly, at it to Raya’s complete satisfaction.
“Maker’s f-“ he rounded to find a much too pleased grin on Raya’s face… and flowers. The flowers!
He reach up to confirm that was what she’d put on him this time.
“Not exactly what I thought would become of these,” he couldn’t help but crack the smallest of exhausted grins at her, “but I can’t say I’m surprised, Scila.”
The mild suspicion on his face was not an unattractive look to have, she did enjoy making him guess what schemes she would come up with, when it was her turn to that is. Her mischievous little grin faded when he, instead, continued,
“It’s good you came back though, I had intended on seeing you tomorrow,” he stood to his too y’all stature and made his way to his desk to rifle about it before producing two pierces of paper,
“I’m afraid the plan was to kidnap you once more, for only the day this time.” He’d come back to hand one of the slips to her and simply observe the shock in her eyes. How they grew wide and darted to his with her mouth agape, only just enough to see her foremost teeth.
“An apology.” He offered in explanation when her pause lasted too long for comfort.
Her eyes snapped to his, the awe mixing with something dangerous he didn’t quite like; before he could take a step back she’d snatched his face into her hands and had her forehead pressed to hers and his nose squished uncomfortably to hers,
“Savill,” his name barely a whisper, “these are for the Val Royeaux spa… <I>these are so expensive</I>!” Her whispered yell was at least amusing… luckily it was quiet and not a real screech.
She watched his face go from amused to worried in a matter of moments.
“What?” He removed her hands and stood straight once again, “is it really that big a deal? I thought you’d enjoy it…”
Finally her face changed, but something into rueful,
“No… I appreciate it…”
“But?”
“I can here to ask <I>you</I> on a date… and you both beat me too it and out did it in one go.” Her laugh was only part amusement,
“There’s no way I can compete with that kind of money Sav….” The palm of her hand went to her forehead and slid to push back her bangs, “I thought… y’know, with what yer parents said, that I maybe should try to make this real?” Her eyes trained on him again and hated how in easy he looked. Hated that she was making him feel that way more.
“It seems stupid now.”
Time passed, uneasy and long, clicks on the grandfather clock in the corner lasting more than they had a right to.
“Where did you want to go?” Raya knee she probably looked very pathetic, she could feel how wet her eyes were so she couldn’t look any better she assumed, that and how Savill was wringing his wrists as if he were in some sort of trouble.
“… There’s a carnival in Redcliffe tonight…” She snorted a pretentious little laugh and dropped her hands to her sides, a sick-with-herself smile teasing her face.
“Well,” He checked his watch before continuing, “it’ll be dusk by the time we get there then. The lights should be on…. that’s how fairs work, right? Like the movies?”
What an atrociously cute smile, how in the world was she supposed to deal with that? There wasn’t a choice in returning it,
“Yeah,” a hiccup interrupted, “like the movies Sav.”

HQ Trivia launches HQ Words tonight under reinstalled CEO
HQ’s expansion beyond trivia emerges from beta tonight, but the question is whether it’s different and accessible enough to revive the startup’s growth. HQ Words opens to everyone with today’s 6:30pm pacific broadcast within the HQ Trivia app after several weeks of closed beta testing of the Wheel Of Fortune-style game. The launch will be the first big move of Rus Yusupov now that’s been officially renamed CEO a week after the tragic death of fellow co-founder and former CEO Colin Kroll, HQ confirms to TechCrunch.
“Intermedia Labs introduced the world to a category defining product, HQ Trivia. Once again, with HQ Words, Intermedia Labs is poised to captivate the world with a revolutionary experience that will bring people together in new ways around live mobile video” Yusupov tells us. “HQ Words is the most interactive experience we’ve ever made.”
Kroll’s passing comes at a tough time for HQ. Its daily player count has declined since it became a phenomenon a year ago. The novelty has begun to wear off, and with so many experienced trivia whizzes, cash jackpots are often split between enough people that winners only get a few bucks. Interrupting your days or nights to play at a particular time can be inconvenient compared to the legions of always-available other games. Yusupov, who was HQ’s CEO until Kroll took over in September, will have to figure out what will attract casual crosswords players and those who flocked to Zynga’s Words With Friends — the kind of disruptive thinking Kroll excelled at.
“Colin and I shared many incredible life moments over the last 7 years. We embarked on an incredible journey co-founding two breakthrough companies together – and the lessons we learned at Vine and HQ will continue to have a big impact on me. Like many relationships, we’ve also had our challenges – but it was during these challenging times that Colin’s kind soul and big heart would truly shine” Yusupov wrote in a statement about his co-founder that was originally published by Digiday in a touching memorial post. Between building Vine and HQ together, the pair have reimagined mobile entertainment, giving millions a chance to show off their wits and creativity. “He had this incredible ability to make everyone feel special. He listened well. He thought deeply. But above all, he cared about people more than work. The driving force behind his innovations was the positive impact they would have on people and world. Colin’s innovations and inventions have changed many people’s lives for the better and will continue to impact the world for years to come.”
HQ Trivia’s co-founder and former CEO Colin Kroll passed away earlier this month
How To Play HQ Words
In HQ Words, players compete live to solve word puzzles by correctly choosing what letters are hidden. You can find the game inside the existing HQ Trivia iOS and Android apps. Host Anna Roisman pluckily provides a clue and then dispenses hints as the 25-second timer for each puzzle counts down. If the clue is “gemstone” and you’re shown “_ _ _ m _ _ _”, you’ll have to tap D, I, A, O, and N in any order. Choose three wrong letters or fail to fill out the words and you lose. You’ll spin a wheel before the game starts to get one letter that’s automatically revealed each round.
Make it through ten rounds and you and other winners get a cut of the cash prize, with the three who solved the puzzles fastest scoring a bigger chunk of the jackpot. The startup earns money through selling you extra lives inside Words, though it will probably feature sponsored games and product placement like Trivia does to pull in marketing dollars. Words will go live daily at 6:30pm pacific after Trivia’s 6:00 game, so you can turn it into HQ hour with family and friends.
HQ Words is much more frenetic than Trivia. Rather than picking a single answer, you have to rapidly tap letters through a combination of educated and uneducated guesses. That means it really does feel more interactive since you’re not sitting for minutes with just a sole answer tap to keep you awake. And because it doesn’t require deep and broad trivia knowledge, Words could appeal to a wider audience. The spinner also adds an element of pure luck, as a weaker player who gets to auto-reveal a vowel might fare better than a wiser player who gets stuck with a “Z” like I always seem to.
Fill In The Blank
The concern is that at its core, Words is still quite similar to Trivia. They’re both real-time, elimination round-based knowledge games played against everyone for money. Both at times feel like they use cheap tricks to eliminate you. A recent Words puzzle asked you to name a noisy instrument, but the answer wasn’t “kazoo” but “buzzing kazoo” — something I’m not sure anyone has ever formally called it. Given the faster pace of interaction, even tiny glitches or moments of lag can be enough to make you lose a round. An HQ Words beta game earlier this week failed to show some users the keyboard, causing mass elimination. The pressure to get HQ’s engineering working flawlessly has never been higher.
The phrasing of some HQ Words answers seems like a stretch
HQ originally agreed to let TechCrunch interview Kroll about what makes Words different enough to change the startup’s momentum. Yusupov was supposed to fill in after Kroll was sadly found dead last Friday of an apparent drug overdose. He later declined to talk or provide written responses. That’s understandable during this time of mourning and transition. But HQ will still need to build an answer into its app. Meanwhile, Chinese clones and US competitors have begun co-opting the live video quiz idea. Facebook has even built a game show platform for content makers to create their own.
HQ could benefit from a better onboarding experience that lets people play a sample game solo to get them hooked and tide them over until the next scheduled broadcast. Mini-games or ways to play along after you’re eliminated could boost total view time and the value of brand sponsorships. A “quiet mode” that silences the between-round chatter and distills HQ to just the questions and puzzles might make it easier to play while multi-tasking. Head-to-head versions of Trivia and Words might help HQ feel more intimate, and there’s an opportunity to integrate peer-to-peer gambling like ProveIt trivia. And branching out beyond knowledge games into more social or arcade-style titles would counter the idea that HQ is just for brainiacs.
Around the height of HQ’s popularity it raised a $15 million funding round at a $100 million valuation. That seems justified given HQ will reportedly earn around $10 million in revenue this year. Gamers are fickle, though, and today’s Fortnite can wind up tomorrow’s Pokemon Go — a flash in the pan that fizzles out. Words is a great bridge to a world outside of Trivia, but HQ must evolve not just iterate.

Host Anna Roisman pluckily provides a clue and then dispenses hints as the 25-second timer for each puzzle counts down. If the clue is “gemstone” and you’re shown “_ _ _ m _ _ _”, you’ll have to tap D, I, A, O, and N in any order. Choose three wrong letters or fail to fill out the words and you lose. You’ll spin a wheel before the game starts to get one letter that’s automatically revealed each round.
Make it through ten rounds and you and other winners get a cut of the cash prize, with the three who solved the puzzles fastest scoring a bigger chunk of the jackpot. The startup earns money through selling you extra lives inside Words, though it will probably feature sponsored games and product placement like Trivia does to pull in marketing dollars. Words will go live daily at 6:30pm pacific after Trivia’s 6:00 game, so you can turn it into HQ hour with family and friends.
HQ Words is much more frenetic than Trivia. Rather than picking a single answer, you have to rapidly tap letters through a combination of educated and uneducated guesses. That means it really does feel more interactive since you’re not sitting for minutes with just a sole answer tap to keep you awake. And because it doesn’t require deep and broad trivia knowledge, Words could appeal to a wider audience. The spinner also adds an element of pure luck, as a weaker player who gets to auto-reveal a vowel might fare better than a wiser player who gets stuck with a “Z” like I always seem to.
Fill In The Blank
The concern is that at its core, Words is still quite similar to Trivia. They’re both real-time, elimination round-based knowledge games played against everyone for money. Both at times feel like they use cheap tricks to eliminate you. A recent Words puzzle asked you to name a noisy instrument, but the answer wasn’t “kazoo” but “buzzing kazoo” — something I’m not sure anyone has ever formally called it. Given the faster pace of interaction, even tiny glitches or moments of lag can be enough to make you lose a round. An HQ Words beta game earlier this week failed to show some users the keyboard, causing mass elimination. The pressure to get HQ’s engineering working flawlessly has never been higher.
The phrasing of some HQ Words answers seems like a stretch
HQ originally agreed to let TechCrunch interview Kroll about what makes Words different enough to change the startup’s momentum. Yusupov was supposed to fill in after Kroll was sadly found dead last Friday of an apparent drug overdose. He later declined to talk or provide written responses. That’s understandable during this time of mourning and transition. But HQ will still need to build an answer into its app. Meanwhile, Chinese clones and US competitors have begun co-opting the live video quiz idea. Facebook has even built a game show platform for content makers to create their own.
HQ could benefit from a better onboarding experience that lets people play a sample game solo to get them hooked and tide them over until the next scheduled broadcast. Mini-games or ways to play along after you’re eliminated could boost total view time and the value of brand sponsorships. A “quiet mode” that silences the between-round chatter and distills HQ to just the questions and puzzles might make it easier to play while multi-tasking. Head-to-head versions of Trivia and Words might help HQ feel more intimate, and there’s an opportunity to integrate peer-to-peer gambling like ProveIt trivia. And branching out beyond knowledge games into more social or arcade-style titles would counter the idea that HQ is just for brainiacs.
Around the height of HQ’s popularity it raised a $15 million funding round at a $100 million valuation. That seems justified given HQ will reportedly earn around $10 million in revenue this year. Gamers are fickle, though, and today’s Fortnite can wind up tomorrow’s Pokemon Go — a flash in the pan that fizzles out. Words is a great bridge to a world outside of Trivia, but HQ must evolve not just iterate.

HQ’s expansion beyond trivia emerges from beta tonight, but the question is whether it’s different and accessible enough to revive the startup’s growth. HQ Words opens to everyone with today’s 6:30pm pacific broadcast within the HQ Trivia app after several weeks of closed beta testing of the Wheel Of Fortune-style game. The launch will be the first big move of Rus Yusupov now that’s been officially renamed CEO a week after the tragic death of fellow co-founder and former CEO Colin Kroll, HQ confirms to TechCrunch.
“Intermedia Labs introduced the world to a category defining product, HQ Trivia. Once again, with HQ Words, Intermedia Labs is poised to captivate the world with a revolutionary experience that will bring people together in new ways around live mobile video” Yusupov tells us. “HQ Words is the most interactive experience we’ve ever made.”
Kroll’s passing comes at a tough time for HQ. Its daily player count has declined since it became a phenomenon a year ago. The novelty has begun to wear off, and with so many experienced trivia whizzes, cash jackpots are often split between enough people that winners only get a few bucks. Interrupting your days or nights to play at a particular time can be inconvenient compared to the legions of always-available other games. Yusupov, who was HQ’s CEO until Kroll took over in September, will have to figure out what will attract casual crosswords players and those who flocked to Zynga’s Words With Friends — the kind of disruptive thinking Kroll excelled at.
“Colin and I shared many incredible life moments over the last 7 years. We embarked on an incredible journey co-founding two breakthrough companies together – and the lessons we learned at Vine and HQ will continue to have a big impact on me. Like many relationships, we’ve also had our challenges – but it was during these challenging times that Colin’s kind soul and big heart would truly shine” Yusupov wrote in a statement about his co-founder that was originally published by Digiday in a touching memorial post. Between building Vine and HQ together, the pair have reimagined mobile entertainment, giving millions a chance to show off their wits and creativity. “He had this incredible ability to make everyone feel special. He listened well. He thought deeply. But above all, he cared about people more than work. The driving force behind his innovations was the positive impact they would have on people and world. Colin’s innovations and inventions have changed many people’s lives for the better and will continue to impact the world for years to come.”

9 UNDENIABLE REASONS THAT SPEARHEAD ORGANIZED RETAIL GROWTH IN INDIA
Organized retailing is a latest and ongoing advancement. It refers to the trading activities of licensed retailers who are registered for income tax, sales tax etc. These include retail chains and hypermarkets backed by corporates and privately-owned retail businesses. With socioeconomic factors playing out a crucial role in the buildup to organized retailing, India is currently standing on the threshold of a retail revolution.
The Retail Industry is one of the rapidly evolving industries that is replete with vibrancy and dynamism. It has significantly reinforced the economic growth and development of our country in a very short span of time.
Varying demographic patterns, improving economic prosperity, increasing disposable incomes, proliferating Indian manufacturing firms and changing consumer likes and preferences are key to driving success in the domain of Indian organized retail sector.
Here are 9 top factors at the helm of the rise of organized retailing.
1. Ascent of consumerism
With the stupendous rise in consumerism, the retailer is challenged with a more intelligent and demanding consumer. As a business exists with the prime objective to placate consumer needs and preferences, the amplifying consumer expectation has compelled the retail companies to change the business model of their retail trade. Consumer demand, comfort, convenience, time and location are the critical decision makers for the evolution and expansion of organized retailing in India.
2. Rise in the number of middle-class consumers
The recent years have observed a rapid growth in the number of middle-class consumers. The burgeoning demands, better disposable income among the consumers and improvements in infrastructure have offered the retail industry an elbow room to develop and flourish.
The consumers expect the finest quality products at affordable prices. Offering a broad variety of goods and value-added services to the consumers is what modern retailers strategize on.
The development of consumerism that has predominantly enlarged the consumer markets and accelerated the confluence of consumer tastes would be a vital success driver for Indian organized retail.
3. Increase in the number of working women
The modern Indian women are literate, knowledgeable and qualified. They keep up an excellent balance between their home and work. The buying propensity of working women is out-and-out different from the homemakers. Because of their time constraint for leisure and relaxation, they insist on engaging in a seamless one-stop shopping experience to satiate their needs and the whole shebang under one roof which the ultra-modern retail outlets offer.
4. More value for money
Numerous dealers and distributors in India from the organized retail sector are able to appreciate the economies of production and distribution in large scale. They lean on eliminating intermediaries in their distribution channel. In addition, organized retailers provide decent quality products at acceptable prices. The tempting open door for ample profit is increasingly attracting entrepreneurs to enter into this breeding sector by setting up retail companies in India.
5. Emergence of the rural market
In the present times, the rural market in India is confronting fierce competition in the retail sector as well. The rural consumers have also become extremely quality conscious. To capitalize on this development organized retailers are creating new strategies to fulfill and deliver the needs of the rural customers. After agriculture, it’s the retail industry that is growing a deep penetration into rural India and proving to be the country’s next big source of employment.
6. Entry of the corporate sector
Eminent business moguls like Tata, Birla, Reliance etc. have entered and taken the retail sector by storm. They provide products and entertainment with quality par excellence. Other prominent corporates like ITC, Piramal, RPG Enterprises and retail heavyweights like Shopper’s Stop, Pantaloons and Crosswords have completely revolutionized the Indian retail landscape.
7. Ingress of foreign retailers
The Indian retail sector has caught the attention of even foreign retailers like never before. Because of considerable liberalization, many well-known multinationals are poised to make successful inroads through moneymaking joint ventures and franchising thereby majorly boosting organized retailing.
Case in point is the world-renowned furniture retail giant Ikea that has recently opened its colossal 400000-square-foot retail store in Hyderabad. Ikea is “get up and go” to fulfill its ambitions in expanding their footfall in other metros like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore in the next couple of years. The company has plans to set up around 25 stores by 2025.
8. Technological impact
Technological innovation is a dynamic aspect that has propelled organized retailing to greater heights. With the influx of digital information system, internet, explosion in electronic and social media, satellite television, digital marketing and popular unique technologies like big data, artificial intelligence, bar coding, Blockchain etc. have not only increased consumer awareness about products and services but also enabled retailers to sell online products in a transparent and profitable manner.
9. Upsurge in average income
The rise in literacy level has come about in an increase in the average income of the general populace. This growth is observed not just in cities, but in towns and rural areas as well. Increase in income levels, heightened spending habits and enhanced literacy rate among consumers have led to the genesis of a new retail structure to meet the ever-growing demands for improved quality goods and services.

Treadmills - Understanding the Technical Aspects
As soon as you set out to purchase a treadmill, you'll be able to be sure that you will have adequate alternatives obtainable to get your mind buzzing. So the excellent thing will be to have some defined tips of what elements are necessary from your treadmill, and what's merely out with the query. Horsepower has constantly baffled buyers after they appear to opt for a motorized treadmill. Some dealers money in around the confusion and rant the 'bigger the better' rhetoric. For that reason, you will need to be effectively versed, or no less than apparently well versed, in what you wish. A 2.0 HP motor would do well for your treadmill, something much less than 1.five is certainly going to wear out substantially faster than you'd expect, so go for the optimum choice. The idea is always to appear out for the gimmicks never pay heed to the terms like 'peak horsepower' or 'treadmill duty'; they imply nothing at all in the lengthy run once you want consistent speed. The essential issue could be the 'continuous duty'; which marks that the motor might be capable to make a continuous 2HP to get a full 24 hr motor usage. It is a practice with suppliers to stamp the 'continuous duty' horsepower on DC motors, so obtaining a appear below the hood would not hurt either.
Now a motor's HP will get you going, but poor Motor Electronics can mar the excellent of experience you may have with your treadmill, to not mention the amounts you will have to spend for repairs! Seasoned companies be sure that their treadmills have a steady clip which utilizes a microprocessor to sense the belt load and adjust accordingly for silky operation. So the ideal treadmills are going to be the ones that sense your resistance when you try and slow down, and adjust accordingly to keep the set pace going smoothly. Attempt slowing down a treadmill even though hanging on to the manage bars, and you will know what I am speaking about. A low top quality, low cost treadmill will show her displeasure at your rudeness by jerking and groaning, however the quality ones, I have currently described. The Motor Toque is the point that rotates the shaft which ultimately moves against your load. So plainly speaking, the motor torque has to be high to take the load of a human physique, a potentially heavy human physique at that. It's basic enough to know that you need to have high torque for your treadmill. But additionally, the number of revolutions per second have to be low. Otherwise the treadmill may make you appreciate it at higher speeds but at low speeds the high revs would definitely tax the motor. And consequently the motor will not last extended adequate to justify a superb acquire. Using a wide variety of treadmill out there, the purchaser must be sure what type of Speed he wants from his treadmill. No matter if you need to use it for operating, jogging, or just walking determines which machine will be greatest for you. For walking, speeds from 0 to 6mph would do fine, but for runners the most effective treadmill will be the 1 which delivers speeds from 0 to 12 mph. Running a motor at prime speed of its speed limit more than a extended time frame is usually a sure solution to put on out the motor is often a hurry, so keep away from that if you do not like to pay for repairs. For starters, the safe speed is half a mile, per hour, to produce sure that the jerk of the initial begin will not spill you over. The treadmill's Belt has to suit your operation style at the same time. If you want to use the treadmill for running the belt must be 18 to 22 inches wide at the very least, to keep the runner protected. Whilst the length would have to suit long strides for runners so something between 50 to 54 inches would be good. If the length or the width isn't optimum for the use, then keep clear of such treadmills, as tripping on deck moving five mph is quite likely to have you finish up performing crosswords in a hospital bed. With manufacturers competing to be the top treadmill makers, the better ones present two-ply belts that last longer and are less probably to curl in the sides. So that is the suggested stuff as it will last longer than a less expensive single ply belt. The treadmill Deck must have shock absorbing qualities to advocate it. Normally an excellent manufacturer will make sure that the deck supplies ease towards the user. In comparison with roads, a great treadmill deck gives nearly 40% shock absorption to lessen the impact on the feet and joints. For that reason, for purchasers who have joint complications, or these who do not wish to develop any, the most effective thing will be to go for effectively cushioned, pre treated decks. This will likely, naturally, result in fewer maintenance needs. Although additional impact protection is definitely going to hit you correct exactly where it matters; on the wallet. Though it is essential to possess the required Resilience, each of the speak about the effect protection shouldn't deceive you into buying a affordable treadmill with an overly soft deck. What you'll need is actually a deck that absorbs some of the influence; rubber bushings beneath a flexible deck serve the purpose ideally. Nonetheless, after you go out to basically shop for the ideal treadmill for you, you will need to keep in mind that there are actually no set requirements for cushioning and provision of resilience. The cushioning varies from treadmill to treadmill just about. Evaluation treadmills; try out as many as you are able to, be crucial. Never fall for 'the softer the better' sales line; resilience is just not meant to produce the deck spongy or bouncy, a fantastic pair of footwear plus a decent deck resilience is enough to supply relief to your feet and joints, so go for it! For treadmill Rollers although, 'the bigger the better'. This logic is based in very simple physics; rollers with larger diameter have a lot more surface area so the bearings need to do a whole lot less work in comparison with smallish rollers. Plus there's the belt to care for, in case you have modest rollers the belt may have to put up with additional tension and consequently there will be a lot more repair operate required as well. And not surprisingly the larger rollers have extra load bearing capacity so they want significantly less repair work than the smaller rollers, who would be rolling themselves rugged in case you routinely take up higher speeds. Also, remember that solid rollers are better than hollow ones, and choose steel rollers to aluminum, which start out to type an nearly sand paper like material involving the belt and also the roller surface in quick time. Although treadmills present wide array of Incline selections, they typically differ between 2-25%. Really understandably, low-cost treadmills have manual incline choices but the costlier ones offer you motorized incline attributes. Once again, motors make the treadmill much more complex piece of gear so the repair charges boost, along with the initial cost. The thing to bear in mind about incline motors is the fact that they should be very about their efforts, if they groan as they boost incline then beware, they're going to die down on you quite a bit sooner than you'd anticipate. It may be quick to hunt for the widest array of selection and choose upon that, but seriously speaking, mostly you do not will need greater than 10% of incline as more is usually hazardous for overall health. So, an revolutionary way may be to go for the motorized incline treadmills which preserve your heartbeat in verify and automatically adjust the incline to help keep it smooth. Those who still cannot get their heartbeat towards the optimum high can just believe how much they paid for the treadmill; I bet the treadmill would go downhill if it could! Potentially essentially the most luring issue about a treadmill is its Handle Panel or console. There is a wide assortment of features accessible on these consoles; from a speed monitor to heart rate monitor, electric incline control, distance and time, the treadmills boast several different features. Even so, also quite a few buttons and gauges might get confusing, too as potentially risky mainly because they complicate the treadmill further and boost repair expenses. You can find LCD displays inside the cheap treadmills while the high-end treadmills use LED displays that emit light from the display to produce them extra valuable. Displays that are big straightforward and readable will be the best possibilities for those who don't would like to devote on luxuries like the high-end treadmills. A terrific function of some high-end treadmills could be the show that show error in case some part of the treadmill isn't in ideal health, undoubtedly a superb point to possess on hand, but not needed. Ideally, the manage panel should be the final thing in your thoughts after you make a decision on a treadmill, they can catch your fancy at one glance after which you wouldn't make quite a few smart options afterwards, beware! A Treadmill features a Motor Controller that is an electrical power board that polices the current in the motor. Generally they may be either Pulse Width Modulated board (PWM) or Strong State Manage Rectifier board (SCR). A PWM board delivers more DC voltage than the SCR one particular, because it has DC present operating. Therefore, PWM boards are a lot quieter than SCR boards, which is recommendation enough. To add to that, they need significantly less repair solutions as you will find no chokes and filters to be concerned about, and the stronger present leads to much more tolerance whilst the heavier customers are on. In case you nevertheless aren't convinced then let me add that the PWM have lower electric charges, and they make much less heat as opposed for the SCR boards. For that reason, their life and functionality are enhanced to produce them user friendly and economical inside the extended run. Heart Rate Manage is crucial for optimum workout within the least level of time. The far more work you make the larger the heart rate will be the basic rule with all the stuff. It truly is perfect to possess a heart price monitor on your control panel to maintain the rate in check, going more than board with too substantially effort can harm the heart, so preserve an eye on it. As for the high quality of heart price monitors, the idea is usually to pick out one particular that of the interactive monitors. These not just hold the heart beat in verify but additionally improve or reduce the incline to maintain your heart price optimum. Very good heart rate control monitors use chest straps for evaluation, whilst other, less correct monitors use ear and finger clip pulses for monitoring purposes. Normally, the Frame of your treadmill is created of either aluminum or alloy steel. Even though steel has the possible to rust immediately but, in case you take good care of it, they may be stable sufficient to do you proud. Aluminum, on the other hand, is lighter than steel and delivers easy portability, plus it doesn't rust. Having said that, the sturdiness of aluminum is low and it isn't advisable to pick out it ahead of steel for that quite reason. An additional critical issue about frames will be the way they are made. Welded frame must be preferred over bolted ones; merely for the reason that bolts and are far significantly less tough within the extended run, thought they may possibly make moving simpler, but that still isn't enough to advise them more than welded frames. Handlebars on treadmills are utilised for stability and balance so they must be inside the attain in the user if he needs to use them. Even so, before choosing a treadmill, be certain that the handlebars don't come into the path of the arm motion no matter if you walk or run. The handlebars must be sturdy, avoid plastic ones as they may possibly not last a great deal. Plus the grips have to be comfy for uncomplicated usage. It really doesn't matter how lots of handlebars are there in your treadmill, they could be one or two rails more than the front of the handle panel or perhaps a couple around the sides. What does matter nonetheless, is the fact that handlebars should be out of your way, a swinging arm hitting a handlebar around the full could not be the best approach to workout, so select wisely. Like other moving machines, motorized treadmills need to have Safety attributes that decrease accident possible to a bare minimum. Handlebars, as we have discussed, play a really essential role in safety on the customers. As well as those, emergency shut off is some thing that must be present inside a superior treadmill. Obtaining said that, it could be no use to possess an emergency shut off switch if it is out of reach, so verify that also.

HQ’s expansion beyond trivia emerges from beta tonight, but the question is whether it’s different and accessible enough to revive the startup’s growth. HQ Words opens to everyone with today’s 6:30pm pacific broadcast within the HQ Trivia app after several weeks of closed beta testing of the Wheel Of Fortune-style game. The launch will be the first big move of Rus Yusupov now that’s been officially renamed CEO a week after the tragic death of fellow co-founder and former CEO Colin Kroll, HQ confirms to TechCrunch.
“Intermedia Labs introduced the world to a category defining product, HQ Trivia. Once again, with HQ Words, Intermedia Labs is poised to captivate the world with a revolutionary experience that will bring people together in new ways around live mobile video” Yusupov tells us. “HQ Words is the most interactive experience we’ve ever made.”
Kroll’s passing comes at a tough time for HQ. Its daily player count has declined since it became a phenomenon a year ago. The novelty has begun to wear off, and with so many experienced trivia whizzes, cash jackpots are often split between enough people that winners only get a few bucks. Interrupting your days or nights to play at a particular time can be inconvenient compared to the legions of always-available other games. Yusupov, who was HQ’s CEO until Kroll took over in September, will have to figure out what will attract casual crosswords players and those who flocked to Zynga’s Words With Friends — the kind of disruptive thinking Kroll excelled at.
“Colin and I shared many incredible life moments over the last 7 years. We embarked on an incredible journey co-founding two breakthrough companies together – and the lessons we learned at Vine and HQ will continue to have a big impact on me. Like many relationships, we’ve also had our challenges – but it was during these challenging times that Colin’s kind soul and big heart would truly shine” Yusupov wrote in a statement about his co-founder that was originally published by Digiday in a touching memorial post. Between building Vine and HQ together, the pair have reimagined mobile entertainment, giving millions a chance to show off their wits and creativity. “He had this incredible ability to make everyone feel special. He listened well. He thought deeply. But above all, he cared about people more than work. The driving force behind his innovations was the positive impact they would have on people and world. Colin’s innovations and inventions have changed many people’s lives for the better and will continue to impact the world for years to come.”
HQ Trivia’s co-founder and former CEO Colin Kroll passed away earlier this month
How To Play HQ Words
In HQ Words, players compete live to solve word puzzles by correctly choosing what letters are hidden. You can find the game inside the existing HQ Trivia iOS and Android apps. Host Anna Roisman pluckily provides a clue and then dispenses hints as the 25-second timer for each puzzle counts down. If the clue is “gemstone” and you’re shown “_ _ _ m _ _ _”, you’ll have to tap D, I, A, O, and N in any order. Choose three wrong letters or fail to fill out the words and you lose. You’ll spin a wheel before the game starts to get one letter that’s automatically revealed each round.
Make it through ten rounds and you and other winners get a cut of the cash prize, with the three who solved the puzzles fastest scoring a bigger chunk of the jackpot. The startup earns money through selling you extra lives inside Words, though it will probably feature sponsored games and product placement like Trivia does to pull in marketing dollars. Words will go live daily at 6:30pm pacific after Trivia’s 6:00 game, so you can turn it into HQ hour with family and friends.
HQ Words is much more frenetic than Trivia. Rather than picking a single answer, you have to rapidly tap letters through a combination of educated and uneducated guesses. That means it really does feel more interactive since you’re not sitting for minutes with just a sole answer tap to keep you awake. And because it doesn’t require deep and broad trivia knowledge, Words could appeal to a wider audience. The spinner also adds an element of pure luck, as a weaker player who gets to auto-reveal a vowel might fare better than a wiser player who gets stuck with a “Z” like I always seem to.
Fill In The Blank
The concern is that at its core, Words is still quite similar to Trivia. They’re both real-time, elimination round-based knowledge games played against everyone for money. Both at times feel like they use cheap tricks to eliminate you. A recent Words puzzle asked you to name a noisy instrument, but the answer wasn’t “kazoo” but “buzzing kazoo” — something I’m not sure anyone has ever formally called it. Given the faster pace of interaction, even tiny glitches or moments of lag can be enough to make you lose a round. An HQ Words beta game earlier this week failed to show some users the keyboard, causing mass elimination. The pressure to get HQ’s engineering working flawlessly has never been higher.
The phrasing of some HQ Words answers seems like a stretch
HQ originally agreed to let TechCrunch interview Kroll about what makes Words different enough to change the startup’s momentum. Yusupov was supposed to fill in after Kroll was sadly found dead last Friday of an apparent drug overdose. He later declined to talk or provide written responses. That’s understandable during this time of mourning and transition. But HQ will still need to build an answer into its app. Meanwhile, Chinese clones and US competitors have begun co-opting the live video quiz idea. Facebook has even built a game show platform for content makers to create their own.
HQ could benefit from a better onboarding experience that lets people play a sample game solo to get them hooked and tide them over until the next scheduled broadcast. Mini-games or ways to play along after you’re eliminated could boost total view time and the value of brand sponsorships. A “quiet mode” that silences the between-round chatter and distills HQ to just the questions and puzzles might make it easier to play while multi-tasking. Head-to-head versions of Trivia and Words might help HQ feel more intimate, and there’s an opportunity to integrate peer-to-peer gambling like ProveIt trivia. And branching out beyond knowledge games into more social or arcade-style titles would counter the idea that HQ is just for brainiacs.
Around the height of HQ’s popularity it raised a $15 million funding round at a $100 million valuation. That seems justified given HQ will reportedly earn around $10 million in revenue this year. Gamers are fickle, though, and today’s Fortnite can wind up tomorrow’s Pokemon Go — a flash in the pan that fizzles out. Words is a great bridge to a world outside of Trivia, but HQ must evolve not just iterate.
