Normal email validators check to see if the email address submitted is  syntactically  correct, but don't actually check to see if the address is real. Asking customers to confirm their email address is effective at weeding-out spam registrations, but has been proven to substantially reduce conversion rates. Spam registrations and bot signups can pollute your user-acquisition metrics, and spam newsletter signups can pollute your mail server IP space, leading to low deliverability or even service suspensions by your mailing list provider. https://goodforms.com/

Dear Friends,  It's been a long time since I have been posting recipes here.  The locked down time is a good time to learn and cook new recipes.  Hoping to share many more beautiful and exotic recipes with you'll. Eat nutritious. Stay home👍 Stay Safe👍. Sukanya Yogesh www.Sukanyasmusings.com WATERMELON RIND HALWA This locked down has given us a lot of valuable lessons and one such lesson is reducing wastage and conserving our resources, valuing nature and living quality lives, something that was by being practised by our previous generations but somehow forgotten by us. There are many parts of vegetables or fruits that we tend to throw missing out on the huge nutritional quotient that it offers. It’s time to start making wonderful recipes from them and getting more value out of your buck. Something that fancied me during this lock down was the watermelon rind halwa. All my life I never knew that we could eat the watermelon rind, imagine the gross wastage...

We all like to consider ourselves smart, but raw intelligence isn’t everything. When we get stuck on a problem, sometimes it’s because we’re overthinking it. Pay attention to when focused thinking isn’t getting you anywhere; perhaps it has turned into obsessing over the same answers or approaches. Consider whether experimenting with a new strategy or talking ideas through with others might be more likely to result in success. Take breaks to let your brain relax and get unstuck. Expand your range of skills for reaching insights and coming up with new ideas; don’t be someone who sees every problem as a nail because your only tool is a hammer. And when you do find yourself ruminating, disrupt it by doing a few minutes of an absorbing activity, such as a puzzle. This can be a surprisingly effective way to break your brain out of a rut.

Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
