Adoption causes way more intergenerational trauma and collective health crises than I think many "kept" people realize.
If you bother to read it, the science is clear: adoption is violently traumatic, causing devastating, irreversible health issues for millions of human beings. Yet I'd have more luck conveying the severity and longevity of my own trauma to most non-adoptees with "I was dropped on my head as a baby."
Heck, I didn't begin to contend with the horrors of my own situation until my mid forties. Being yeeted directly after birth into foster care and eventually adopted by lovely, well-intentioned folks who were not prepared *at all* to help me deal with the lifelong neurodevelopmental disorders and physical health problems directly caused by my abandonment at birth has permanently damaged me. I'm saying so as one of the "lucky ones".
I adore my adoptive family. They're incredible parents. We love each other dearly. This doesn't change the fact, not for one second, that I wouldn't wish adoption on ANYBODY. Thankfully, my folks understand this. I wish more adoptive parents did.
The modern adoption industry* is, by design, deeply misogynistic, racist, transactional, ableist, imperialist, colonial. Ignorance and hate and apathy and coercion and subjugation and dehumanization and capitalism keep the machine running.
We're already seeing the beginning of Baby Scoop Too: Electric Boogaloo on Facebook. On Twitter. On Instagram. On other social media platforms owned and controlled by obscenely wealthy white men who don't consider private adoptions to be unethical.
You may *think* that legalized human trafficking doesn't really effect you, but soon, if the Christofascists continue their cultural blitzkrieg, the amount of infants and children who end up in the foster care system, adopted by unqualified people, in devastating private "rehoming" situations like the one shared above, or worse, is gonna SKYROCKET.
So...I'm barely on Facebook anymore for a few different reasons. One of them is that I couldn't handle watching a whole bunch of ignorant self-proclaimed feminists making shitty adoption jokes after Roe was overturned.
Another reason is that Facebook is LITERALLY A BABY MARKET.
ADOPTIVE PARENTS ARE BUYING AND SELLING CHILDREN ON FACEBOOK. WHAT THE ACTUAL UNFORTUNATE FUCK.
Nearly 100 million American families are in the adoption triad, with a majority of adoptees' needs and voices being considered last instead of first. It's so backwards.
Non-kinship adoption is a systemic violence that cannot help but touch the lives of billions. That is so very, very bad for ALL of us, not just abandoned infants and children or their struggling parents.
Some straightforward response questions for every person who has ever asked me about about my adoption:
Are you a feminist? Are you antiracist? Are you a humanitarian? Anti-ableist? Do you consider yourself lefty, liberal, or otherwise progressive? Do you respect science? Then please reevaluate your perceptions of adoption.
For every adoptive or bio parent you listen to, listen to three or more adoptees. For every shitty adoption "joke" you've ever told, check in with an adoptee (or first mom) in a kind and caring way. For every ignorant question you've ever asked an adoptee about our "real parents", crack a book!
Please. Do some research. Learn. Please. Center transracial adoptees, international adoptees, disabled adoptees, queer adoptees. Please. This stuff impacts all of us just as surely as countless other aspects of systemic rape culture do. Try to understand. Please.
I'm more certain than ever that we must abolish before we can rebuild.
Please give a shit. Please.
*The fact that adoption is an industry at all should shock and horrify us all, and yet... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[image description: a screenshot of a Facebook post with a black border and caption reading, “Welcome to America, where people try to regime adopted children on Facebook Marketplace.” The Facebook post itself reads, “So basically they either want him to come back home, or have CPS place him in a foster home. Or I can find someone willing to take him in, and ‘under the table’ pay them the stipend, we get. If CPS places him they will have to have an open case against me. In doing that I will lose my job. I cannot work at a daycare, school, group home etc. if I have an open active CPS case against me. How the hell do I go about ‘re-homing’ my child? Should I create a post in market place? Through no fault of our own, we are being forced to re-home our thirteen year old son. He can be the most loving, helpful young man. He does suffer some learning difficulties. He comes with a complete wardrobe and a monthly allotment. Only serious inquiries please.” End id]

In the intricate world of academia, students often find themselves grappling with the complexities of database-related assignments. The demand for proficient individuals in this field has led to an increased need for quality education and support. As the phrase "do my UML homework" echoes in the minds of students, seeking reliable assistance becomes paramount. This blog aims to shed light on the dynamics of finding affordable and trustworthy database homework help, ensuring that students can navigate the vast landscape of online resources with confidence.
Understanding the Need for Database Homework Help:
Before delving into the secrets of finding the right assistance, it's crucial to understand why students seek help with their UML homework and other database-related tasks. The world of databases is multifaceted, encompassing various concepts such as data modeling, SQL queries, normalization, and UML diagrams. As coursework becomes more intricate, students often require guidance to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
The Keyword Dilemma: "Do My UML Homework":
The quest for the right database homework help begins with the articulation of the student's needs. The keyword "do my UML homework" encapsulates the essence of the assistance required. It signifies a plea for support in understanding and implementing Unified Modeling Language (UML) concepts, a fundamental aspect of database design and development.
Secret #1: Thorough Research is Key:
Embarking on the journey to find reliable assistance involves meticulous research. Start by exploring online platforms that specialize in database-related subjects. Pay attention to websites that showcase their expertise in UML and other relevant areas. Read reviews and testimonials from previous clients to gauge the efficacy of the service.
Secret #2: Legitimacy Matters:
To unravel the secrets of affordable and trustworthy homework help, one must decipher the legitimacy of the service. Legitimate platforms provide comprehensive information about their operations, including the qualifications of their tutors, certifications, and affiliations. A transparent service is more likely to deliver on its promises.

The heart of any database homework help service lies in the qualifications of its tutors. Look for platforms that showcase detailed profiles of their tutors, highlighting their academic and professional backgrounds. Tutors with a wealth of experience in UML and database concepts are better equipped to provide meaningful assistance.
Secret #4: Balancing Affordability and Quality:
Affordability is a critical factor for students seeking homework help. However, it's essential to strike a balance between cost and quality. Opt for services that offer competitive pricing without compromising on the standard of assistance. Some platforms may provide discounts or packages for regular users, ensuring cost-effectiveness.
Secret #5: Sample Work and Guarantees:
A reliable database homework help service often exhibits samples of its work. Analyzing these samples provides insight into the quality of assistance you can expect. Additionally, look for services that offer guarantees such as plagiarism-free work and on-time delivery, ensuring a stress-free experience for students.
Secret #6: 24/7 Support for Round-the-Clock Assistance:
In the dynamic realm of academia, the need for support can arise at any time. Choose a database homework help service that provides 24/7 customer support. A responsive support team ensures that queries can be addressed promptly, fostering a collaborative and efficient learning environment.
Conclusion:
As students navigate the labyrinth of database dynamics, the secrets to finding affordable and trustworthy homework help become invaluable. By conducting thorough research, ensuring legitimacy, evaluating tutors' qualifications, balancing affordability and quality, reviewing sample work, and securing reliable customer support, students can unlock the full potential of their educational journey.

Game Development Glossary: Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Rewards
You may have heard the terms “intrinsic” and “extrinsic” rewards used in reference to game design and wondered what they meant. These terms are ways to describe different types of rewards earned by the player over the course of gameplay. Categorizing rewards as intrinsic and extrinsic are helpful in planning the way gameplay and player progression is structured and gated. This is because intrinsic and extrinsic rewards usually make the player feel different emotions - intrinsic rewards make players feel skillful, while extrinsic rewards make them feel powerful. While these emotions are related, they are not the same thing and should not be conflated with each other.
"Extrinsic” means coming from the outside or external. An extrinsic reward is one that is not something that the player can learn, but it is something obtained by the player’s character. An extrinsic reward is can be a new weapon, gold, experience points, valuable items, etc. In order to progress through the game, the player might need to earn enough experience points to level up enough, find gear strong enough, or even find a right key to unlock the door in order to enter the next zone. Obtaining items in Zelda: Ocarina of Time like the hookshot are examples of extrinsic rewards used to gate progress through the game - Link simply cannot traverse certain areas without first obtaining the hookshot. Extrinsic rewards are typically doled out in very precise fashion - either through means determined by a systemic formula or hand-placed by a designer as a reward for something specific. Extrinsic rewards make the player feel powerful. The player hits harder, can shrug off blows that used to defeat them, the enemies feel easier to defeat, all without needing to expend any additional thought or effort.
“Intrinsic” means coming from the inside. An intrinsic reward is something that the player learns (rather than the player’s character) and can be used by the player on any playthrough. This might be a technique, a strategy, an opening sequence, or a build order. Ryu players don’t need to reach a certain level or complete a quest before they can throw a hadouken, they just need to learn how. A player who knows how to throw a hadouken can do so while playing on any platform without needing to unlock or earn anything. Other examples of intrinsic rewards include weapon-specific moves/attacks in Monster Hunter, shield surfing in Breath of the Wild, laning and jungling strategy in League of Legends, and footsies in fighting games. We can build these intrinsic rewards and teach the player how to use them or leave them for players to discover through their own experimentation. Intrinsic rewards make players feel skillful - each situation where they are required to perform and others cannot reminds them that they have earned knowledge and skill that belongs to them and cannot be taken away.
Many games gate progression with a combination of both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Games with more intrinsic rewards tend to lean more toward replayability and favor the demonstration of skill - players often must hone their ability to play the game in order to progress, like in Dark Souls games. Games with more extrinsic rewards place heavier emphasis on collecting and earning specific rewards that provide more power to the player’s character directly, like World of Warcraft where players chase the feeling of power. You might notice that a major principle of speed running research is the deconstruction of many extrinsic rewards into intrinsic skills (e.g. RNG manipulation, min/maxing leveling/money earning, etc.) so that the game can be completed more quickly and consistently. The decisions about whether rewards should be intrinsic or extrinsic have a huge effect on the overall way the game will be played. Because intrinsic rewards can be brought over to any playthrough via prior knowledge, any would-be designer must recognize that they should always be available at all times. Intrinsic rewards usually make the players feel skillful, while extrinsic rewards make the player feel more powerful. Note the difference and keep this in your design toolbox and use where appropriate.

Choose Your Email Marketing Tools
You are here because you looking for the best email marketing or maybe what is email marketing tools, either one. I can help you to choose and also learn about email marketing tools.

How Can I Pick The Best Email marketing service?
Most email marketing tools perform various functions beyond sending email campaigns and newsletters. Before we go through each email marketing tool, I want to teach you how to choose one based on your business need. I share the list of the key you should think of when you want to choose an email marketing service:
Drag & Drop Editor: A good email marketing service that lets you customize your email templates, enabling you to make a highly engaging email newsletter and create your own online form to capture subscribers and landing pages.
Automation Marketing: Beginner or advanced marketer, it doesn't matter. You should be able to easily send bulk emails that you can personalize and target without extra work. This is called automation.
Integrations: this is a simple thing but very important for any email marketer; your email tools need to be able to link up to your other applications. Your blog, e-commerce, analytics Tool, or other things.
Support: it is essential to check what kind of support they provide when you need them. Not all email marketing platforms offer live chat/ phone support or email message. They must be available for you to fix things.
Reporting: You need to monitor the performance of your email campaigns. Some companies provide more data reports than others which is very helpful.
Price: higher price always it is not mean better, some companies provide better offers than others and cheaper, which is good, and also you must look at your business needs, you might don't need all of the features all of the companies to provide so if you choose a cheaper company that can help you save money so why not to go with them.

Okay, AG did terrible with the HP line, regardless but I am a conservative trying to understand.. are people just mad because she doesn't have the same POV, because what I got from her tweets was she was being so polite about having a different opinion, even saying she supports lgbt, more than AG even is.. and as for her racism.. is this only because of fictional racist commentary? because it's fair to acknowledge it is a problem also in the fictional world too.. doesn't mean the author is in fact...
all that being said and I still think she leans left, probably is feminist anyway, and did not support trump or the conservative party even in Britain.. so are we all just going to assume she is all the above... as in are we to assume conservatives are as such, and that she must be one ??
my other question is, who is JKR talking about... like is she actually referring to trans women who are using the platform wrongly, as in taking advantage of women's sports and privacy? or is she really meaning harm to the entire community... I just think there needs to be context considered, and rules as well as exceptions because we do have young girls to protect either way. most importantly why are we buying AG when they never show their support for LGBT to begin with.. ever..
Just to make it clear to everyone who follows me, this is an American Girl blog.
I don’t want it to become a political blog. That’s why I’m responding to a bunch of asks in one post so it doesn’t clutter up the dash more than the previous asks already have. The only reason I’m even discussing JKR or trans issues is because of the AG x HP collab. Bear that in mind before sending me another ask in the future.
Read the entire post below the cut before sending me another anon about JKR, trans issues, or religion as it relates to views on LGBTQ+ issues.
Also I genuinely have no idea who sent what anon, so I’m going to reply to a few of the asks in my inbox that all have the same kinds of questions. I’ve put them in the order I think they go in. I think there are two of you at least? A couple of these messages are more polite than others, so going forwards don’t come at me making assumptions, regardless of who sent each one.
Sticking it under a cut because this could get very long. Also TW for discussion of sexual assault and general transphobia.
--
First thing I'm going to say is I don't really care where JKR leans on other political issues. I'm not interested in talking about conservatives vs liberals. I'm talking about transphobic views specifically. At no point have I referred to JKR as a conservative, so I’m not sure how this got brought up in this discussion.
I’m also not interested in discussing trans rights and personhood as a whole through the lens of potential criminality. The number of transgender people “using the platform wrongly” is so, so, so small, if it even exists at all.
- We have literally no evidence that there has ever been a trans person who assaulted a cisgender woman or girl in a bathroom. Or a locker room. Or anywhere that’s designated as being exclusively a space for women. Or really anywhere. (It doesn’t even matter how someone identifies in whatever bathroom because sexual assault is still illegal. Please just let people pee comfortably while minding their own business.)
- Transgender people are far more likely to be sexually assaulted than cisgender people. Full stop.
- There is not enough research done on transgender athletes to make a blanket statement about whether they should be allowed in sports or not. We are doing the research now. From what we know right now, trans women have some advantages in sports...but they also have some disadvantages as well. I strongly suggest you read the article in full because it’s the most thorough, least-biased article I’ve found on the topic.
While we’re here, did you know that cisgender women undergo hormone replacement therapy all the time? After menopause, many cisgender women have to take hormones (the same ones prescribed to transgender women) to replace estrogen no longer made sufficiently by their own body. You didn’t bring that up at all, but I’m bringing it up because I think it’s always important to remember that the dividing line between "cis person things” and “trans person things” isn’t so clear-cut. We’re not some foreign species. Trans people are just like you.
Now, onto JKR.
You ask “is she really meaning harm to the entire community” and to that I say it doesn’t really matter. She IS harming the entire community. Her rhetoric has been used to strike down important protections for LGBTQ+ people.
The number one concrete thing that tells everyone that JKR does not support trans people is her repeated support of the LGB Alliance. This organization claims to support lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and other individuals under the gay umbrella. However, the LGBA is an anti-trans hate group. If you don’t believe me, name one single campaign that the organization has funded that does not involve trans people or gender identity. Everything they put money into has to do with blocking transgender people from accessing healthcare and other necessary services, rather than helping gay, lesbian, and bisexual people.
She has expressly denied the fact that transgender women are women and gotten upset at others for affirming that fact. This brings me to some issues with how she and other trans-exclusionary feminists define womanhood. Are we really defining “woman” as a set of genitals? That seems demeaning, especially given that there are many people out there who are literally born without functioning reproductive organs. What about the idea that men are physically stronger than women? What happened to the feminist ideals from the 1970s where “women can do anything men can do”? Also I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to cross someone as strong as Rhea Ripley, regardless of what gender I was assigned at birth. JKR’s narrow definition of womanhood denies the womanhood and even personhood of people who don’t fit the stereotypical ideals of the female sex. That’s not just trans-exclusionary. That’s blatant sexism, probably of an internalized variety. You know a woman is having a tough time in life when she’s stereotyping and demeaning her own gender.
Additionally, another not-so-great thing JKR does to both trans and cis people: whenever someone agrees with her views on transgender people being some sinister threat to women, she’ll post their support message in a screenshot where she blocks out their username. When she doesn’t agree with them, however, she puts them on blast, retweets them directly, and sends her supporters after them to harass them. That’s dangerous behavior.
You ask “are people just mad because she doesn't have the same POV” and to that I say it’s certainly not about that. A “different viewpoint” does not demean other people. We call it hatred and bigotry. A normal, healthy, different viewpoint is something like “I think we should put tax money into space exploration programs,” not “I think transgender people are criminals who shouldn’t be a legally protected group.” And that’s exactly how many people see us. That’s how JKR talks about us. JKR makes it clear at every turn that she sees transgender people as criminals waiting for an opportunity to attack someone in a bathroom, even though studies show we do not do that. How is that a neutral viewpoint? How is that just a different POV that should be respected? I don’t respect people who demean others for just living their lives.
As for her racism, it’s not just the core Harry Potter books. It’s not just allusions to chattel slavery and antisemitism, though those are pretty bad if you actually reread the books through a critical lens. Her expanded-world “American” wizards take a questionable turn. She rewrites Native American/Indigenous legends and claims them as her own. Imagine if your family wrote a really good story and then some wealthy woman who doesn’t share your history or culture decides to rewrite it, misrepresent you and your family, and claim the royalties as her own. Native American and Indigenous people from tribes all across North America have been begging for all people to treat their stories with respect for generations. However, a rich, white, British lady is making bank off of stories that she isn’t even representing properly. That’s not cool. Rewriting a culture’s history for one’s own benefit is a racist thing to do.
--
while i understand people are capable of being religious and good, then why do we have a hard time accepting JKR or some conservatives that share differences, but both to me can be respectful about it, unless you think only small minded about conservatives or conservative leaning. because it just seems like you don't share the same feelings about politics, even though we know just like you said, religious people can be allies, or otherwise be respectful people why are you not extending the same treatment? it just seems hypocritically biased, and on top of that how do you believe in any religion that shares the commandments that openly talk against lgbt still..like do you just ignore it..?
This ask makes no sense because we jump from religion to JKR to me not being conservative to the Ten Commandments. I don’t know where to start on this ask because I’m not totally sure what the question is.
I think you’re asking “If religious people can respect LGBTQ+ people, why can’t you respect JKR for having a different viewpoint?” If I’m reading that right, that doesn’t make sense. Those are two separate issues. It seems you are equating JKR and transphobia with having religious views, despite the fact that she has never cited a religious reason for being against rights for trans people.
We’re still not talking about conservatism as a whole. We’re not talking about religion as a whole. If this is the anon who sent that first ask about religion, AG, and LGBTQ+ rights to me, you apparently did not read my response at all. You can be religious and/or conservative and also support human rights, something that you state and then proceed to forget in the above ask that I’m responding to now (once again assuming this is the same anon).
Also you need to read the Ten Commandments again because they say literally nothing about being LGBTQ+. Literally nothing. The parts in the Bible that some people interpret as talking about being gay likely had more to do with temple prostitution, rape, and incest. (TW for anyone reading that link for discussion of those topics.) And there’s some theological evidence that Adam and Eve were the first transgender people. I can’t find a link for that (I’ll update this post when I do), but in summary some theologians consider this because Eve, a woman, came from the rib of Adam, a man. In order for this to happen, Eve would have to be transgender and/or Adam would have to be initially genderless.
--
btw I am a different anon, that other one was rude, doubt they are conservative also.
??? So everyone whose tone you disagree with is not conservative? Maybe check that logic, anon, because I think you’ll find that many people, conservatives included, can be jerks on the internet.
--
like if you say boycott Jkr, but aren't telling people to quit religion that purposefully won't marry lgbt couples, and believe you're sinning..and then the same with supporting AG who is obviously supportive of jkr.. I just mean to say your hatred towards one woman, who was abused by her first husband btw, is more than the religious leaders that enforced conversion therapy etc... like how is that something to get past?
You’re making assumptions and putting words in my mouth. Where have I said that people should keep beliefs that are homophobic under the guise of religion? Where have I said I support conversion therapy or the refusal to marry LGBTQ+ couples?
People can follow a religion and not hold homophobic or transphobic beliefs. People who do hold those beliefs should challenge them and work to become more supportive of people who are just trying to live their lives. End of discussion.
Where have I even said I hate JKR? I actually feel sorry for her because of all the times she has made it clear that she doesn’t have faith in women to be strong and make their own decisions in life. I hate some of her views, not her. Views can change with time, but I won’t be supporting her financially until change happens. JKR actually holds a few views that I agree with, but she disagrees with my mere existence. She demeans me and my fellow transgender people. She insults the intelligence and strength of female-bodied people. As a result, I don’t want her or her works in my life, and I think any other rational person shouldn’t either. Simple.
--
I am still open to talking about the above issues, though future replies may be much shorter or simply a link to this ask because I feel like I’ve said most of what needs to be said already. Read the whole post and the links before sending me another ask on these topics.
As per usual, anything that is directly and obviously transphobic or otherwise bigoted will not be published or responded to. I won’t reward purposeful and open hatred with attention.
Genuinely, I hope this post was helpful to people who actually want to learn. I hope those people have a good day.
#ask#oh boy howdy this is a long one#I think the mobile formatting for this is going to suck so my apologies to everyone on mobile#I can't fix that but let me know if the desktop version is wonky and I'll see what I can do

10 Steps To Start A Furniture Business
Do you have any plans to launch a furniture company? But still unsure from where to begin? Your search for information about starting a furniture business seems to have led you to the right place.
Before moving further, consider what business model you will be comfortable with. Various business models can be chosen, but they are divided into stages to make them easier to understand. Here is the first step to consider starting a furniture business;
Step 1: The Business Model
Choosing the business model you want to use before starting is crucial. Let’s evaluate the following relevant categories of business models:
Physical retail stores – IKEA, Wayfair, HarveyNormanSingapore
Online Shop – PepperfryTV
Omnichannel/Hybrid Retail stores – IKEA, jcpenney with 667 brick & mortar stores and an online store, biglots with 1400+ physical locations.
Producing factories – Ashley.Official, Steelcase, Nilkamal Limited Group.
Model D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) – IKEA India, Burrow-Furniture, floyd9947, GodrejInterio.
Each of these business models has particular benefits and things to remember. Customers can interact with products directly in physical retail stores, providing a textural and interactive customer experience. On the other hand, online stores offer customers flexibility and accessibility because they let them shop and buy goods from the convenience of their residences. The best of both worlds is offered by omnichannel or hybrid retail, which merges offline and online channels and provides a seamless buying experience across multiple platforms. On the other hand, manufacturing facilities concentrate on creating and supplying goods.
Step 2: Market Research on the Furniture Industry
After choosing your business model, the following step is thoroughly researching the furniture market. This will assist you in locating market gaps and recognizing the competition. Market research lets you learn a lot about the market opportunities and rivalries in the furniture sector. This step depends on identifying current trends, consumer preferences and potential business possibilities in the furniture market. It will assist you in locating opportunities for your company to stand out from the competition and better serve customers. By profoundly investigating the furniture market, you can make well-informed decisions and create a winning business plan.
Step 3: Your Brand’s Niche or Distinctive Business Model
Based on the market research results, you can create a distinctive value proposition for your product. This might be a market niche that is underserved at the moment or a differentiator that makes you stand out from the competitors in the market. By doing this, you can develop a compelling value proposition for your product or service. Your brand could stand out and draw customers in a busy market by tackling an underserved product category or providing a unique differentiator.
Step 4: Finalization of the Product Range Plan
You may begin developing your product line when you’ve finalized your unique value proposition. Choosing the furniture you wish to sell, the materials you’ll utilize, and the styles you’ll provide will all fall under this category. To satisfy the particular demands of your consumers, consider customization choices.
Step 5: Creating a Business Strategy for Furniture (also for Financial Institutions and Investors)
You may create your furniture strategic plan once you’ve developed your product portfolio. This has to have a planning process, marketing strategies, and financial estimates. Your business plan will be helpful when looking for capital from investors or financial organizations and keep you on track.
Step 6: Plan for supply chain management
You must design your supply chain activities as a component of your operational strategy. This will include organizing the delivery procedures for the first, middle, and last miles. You must choose trustworthy suppliers and logistics providers to ensure that your items are delivered to your clients on time.
Step 7: Webstore development and IT software completion
The story of your website and IT applications can then begin. You must choose the best e-commerce platform, create a user-friendly website, and incorporate payment methods to do this. You must also make an inventory control system to keep track of your product availability and handle your sales.
Step 8: Creating Standard Operational Procedures (SOPs)
It would be best to create standard operating procedures (SOPs) as your company expands to maintain consistency and effectiveness in your operations. Creating SOPs for processing orders, inventory control, customer support, and logistical operations will be required. The success and development of your business will ultimately benefit from these procedures’ maintenance of a streamlined and effective workflow.
Step 9: Brand Pre-Launch and Market Entry Plan
A go-to-market and pre-launch plan must be created before your brand is introduced to the public. This will entail raising awareness of your brand, building buzz, and increasing interest amongst your target market. You may employ various marketing strategies, including PR, influencer marketing, and social networks.
Step 10: Digital Marketing Strategy for the Furniture Industry (Offline and Online)
You may finally create a digital marketing strategy for your furniture company. This will include developing a thorough offline and online marketing strategy to market your business, create leads, and boost sales. You may employ various marketing strategies, including digital marketing, SEO, email marketing, and social media advertising. Establishing a furniture company may be challenging but worthwhile.
By implementing these ten steps, you may enhance your ability to succeed and create a successful furniture business.

Houston Home Additions: A Guide to the Best Practices
Imagine having an additional space in your home where your kids can indulge in arts and crafts and execute their creative talents. Sounds interesting, right? Indeed, it is! Hiring contractors for home additions in Houston can convert your imagination into reality. However, before you partner with the professionals, you must have an idea of the best practices for optimum success. Read on to explore the details!
Understand Your Structural and Financial Feasibility
No doubt, it can be tempting to get started with your home addition project as early as possible. However, before that, gaining insights into your structural and financial feasibility can help avoid potential issues later. For instance, attaching new structures to the already existing ones can be often dicey.
Exploring the structural feasibility of your home can enable you to uncover the architectural restrictions and property setbacks. On the other hand, financial feasibility is all about getting an estimate of the home addition project from the contractors and evaluating whether it meets your budget or not.
Research and Gather Inspiration
If you do not have any idea about how to get started with your home addition project, spending time in quality research is a smart move. You can gain inspiration from home improvement platforms, online sites, and magazines and share ideas with your contractors. The professionals can evaluate the feasibility and implement modern design ideas in the best possible way.
Opt for Room Conversion
Do you have limited space but require an extra room? Then converting your existing room into the desired space can be an ideal decision. Without adding more square footage to your house, you can meet your requirements easily. The common spaces that you can convert into functional rooms include garages, attics, and basements. Room conversion will not only enable you to save space but also ensure better cost savings.
Get the Necessary Permits
Several home addition projects may require obtaining approvals from the local authorities. Not getting the permits can result in delays, fines, and other legal complications. However, obtaining permits isn’t as easy as it appears to be. Hiring expert home addition contractors in Houston can make this process relatively easier. They can enable you to get the approvals and permits on time and ensure the smooth completion of the projects.
Invest in Quality Workmanship and Materials
If you want the best and long-lasting results for your home addition project, using the best resources matters a lot. However, availing of quality materials from reliable suppliers can be tough. That is where home addition contractors come to help. They have access to a vast network of suppliers and subcontractors. As a result, you can get top-quality materials and skilled labor for your home addition projects at competitive prices.
Conclusion
When you have a growing family or are facing storage problems, home addition becomes necessary. Home addition is indeed an excellent solution to your space problems. Following the best practices listed above can provide you with exceptional outcomes. Are you looking for a top-rated Houston home additions contractor? Marwood Construction is the ideal choice.

The demand for convenient food ordering and delivery services continues to grow in today’s era. To build a successful food delivery app, you can leverage specific food app builders to simplify the development process. Now, we’ll go over the key processes and concerns for creating a food delivery app with a specialized app builder. We’ll go over the benefits of utilizing a food app builder, the features to include, the technological stack, and the whole development process.
Introduction
The food delivery sector has grown rapidly over the last decade and shows no signs of slowing down. With their hectic schedules and growing need for convenience, more individuals are turning to food delivery apps to satiate their hunger. If you want to get into this rich sector, a food app builder might be a useful tool in your app development journey.
What is a Food App Builder?
A food app builder is a software development platform that is particularly developed for the building of food delivery apps. These systems include pre-built templates, user-friendly interfaces, and a variety of functionality geared to the requirements of food delivery companies. Using a food app builder may help you save time, cut development expenses, and produce a more feature-rich app in a more effective manner.
In this blog, we’ll go over the stages needed in creating a food delivery app with a specific food app builder, as well as the important features, technological stack, and design considerations that are critical for your app’s success.
The Benefits of Using a Food App Builder
Before we go into the step-by-step process of creating your food delivery service, let��s talk about why you should use the benefits of a food delivery app builder. Here are some benefits:
Saves Time: A food app builder simplifies the development process by providing pre-built templates and components. This means you can drastically cut the time it takes to develop your software.
Cost-Effective: Building a bespoke food delivery app from the ground up might be costly. A food app builder can help you save money by removing the need for a big development team and shortening the development time.
User-Friendly: These platforms are user-friendly, making them accessible even to individuals with less technical understanding. You may concentrate on your company objectives while the builder handles the technical issues.
Customization: While there are pre-built templates accessible, most food app builders allow for modification to meet your brand and specific needs. You may customize the look, features, and functioning of your app.
Scalability: As your food delivery business expands, so should your app. Scalability features are available from many food app providers, guaranteeing that your app can manage rising user demand.
Maintenance and Updates: Maintenance and updates are frequently provided by food app makers, ensuring that your app is always up to date and safe. This relieves you of the burden of continuing technical upkeep.
Steps to Create a Food Delivery App
1. Define Your Business Strategy
Before you begin developing your app, you must first identify your company plan. Take a look at the following:
Target Audience: Who are your ideal clients? What are their preferences and habits regarding food delivery?
Business Model: Are you going to collaborate with local eateries, open your own kitchen, or do both? Decide on your income plan (commissions, delivery fees, subscriptions, and so on).
Competitive Analysis: Research your competitors and identify what sets your app apart from the rest.
Monetization Strategy: Determine how you will monetize the app. This may include charging restaurants a fee to use your platform, collecting delivery costs, or charging consumers a membership price for premium features.
2. Choose a Food App Builder
Choosing the best food app builder is a critical decision. Some common choices are:
Code Brew Labs: Code Brew Labs is a top-notch food app builder that offers a complete stack of technology and features for creating food delivery apps. It can integrate with any food applications & businesses.
Zomato Clone: This is a script-based solution that allows you to construct a food delivery app similar to Zomato. It’s a good alternative if you wish to duplicate the success of a well-known platform.
GoodBarber: GoodBarber is well-known for its elegant and easily adaptable app themes. It may be used to build both restaurant and food delivery apps.
Builder.ai: Builder.ai provides a more complex app creation environment with a high level of customisation. It’s an excellent choice if you have a clear concept for your project.
3. Design Your App
The design of every app is crucial to its success. Create a user-friendly and visually appealing interface using the templates and customization possibilities supplied by your selected food app builder. Think about the following design elements:
User Interface (UI): Make sure the software is simple to use, with clear icons and controls. The colour palette and layout should be consistent with your company’s branding.
User Experience (UX): Pay attention to the app’s flow. Users should be able to easily explore restaurants, pick food, and place orders.
Branding: In order to develop a strong brand presence, incorporate your logo and branding aspects throughout the app’s design.
4. Features and Functionality
To suit the demands of both users and restaurant partners, your food delivery app should include a diverse set of functions. Here are some important factors to consider:
User Registration and Login: Allow people to establish accounts and log in using their email addresses, phone numbers, or social network accounts.
Restaurant Listings: Display a menu and a list of eateries. For easier navigation, include search and filter options.
Menu Customization: This allows consumers to personalize their orders, include specific instructions, and select from various payment options.
Order Tracking: Allow users to follow the progress of their orders in real-time so they may stay up to date on the status of their deliveries.
Reviews and Ratings: Allow users to rate and evaluate restaurants and delivery services.

All of the magic happens in the backend of your food delivery app development software. It is in charge of data storage, user authentication, order processing, and communication between the app and third-party services. While food app builders make the process easier, it’s critical to understand the backend components and technology that allow your app to run smoothly. Backend technologies that are important include:
Server: To host the backend of your app, you’ll need a dependable server. Popular cloud systems include AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
Database: To store user and restaurant data, as well as order information, utilize a database system such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or NoSQL databases such as MongoDB.
APIs: Integrate APIs used by your app for money processing, location services, and third-party services.
Security: Put in place strong security measures to protect user data and ensure secure transactions.
6. Launch Your App
When your app has been completely tested, it is time to make it available to the general public. This entails multiple steps:
App Store Submission: Prepare your software for distribution through app shops such as the Apple Software Store and Google Play. Follow their app submission rules, which include supplying app descriptions, images, and other essential files.
Marketing: Promote your app through numerous methods, such as social media, influencer marketing, and paid promotion.
Launch Event: To build hype and attract early consumers, consider having a launch event or promotion.
Conclusion

By following the methods mentioned in this article, you may develop a successful app that fits the demands of both customers and restaurant partners. Remember to outline your business plan, select the proper food app builder, design an appealing interface, add key features, manage backend development, perform extensive testing, efficiently launch your app, and continue to enhance and expand your app post-launch.
