"Board decks are a scattered mess, take endless hours to prepare, and are generally terrible to read.
It’s often difficult for the Board to get a holistic picture of your company's progress, its critical challenges and pressing strategic questions. And this is after your team spent way too many hours creating way too many materials...While other functional areas of the business have seen tremendous innovation and new technology, the board meeting process is still performed in presentation software that was never designed to run effective meetings."

Parties could involve PowerPoint
By Hicbd
"But even as we've gotten back to normal hangouts, people are still connecting their laptops to TVs and sharing slides in social settings. Take a spin around TikTok, and you can find loads of PowerPoint-party content. There are presentations on which Beyoncé songs best represent each friend, what to do if you're trapped in an elevator, or whether pigeons are a pest or a pet."

Crying babies could be at festivals
By Hicbd
"The Naki Sumo Crying Baby Festival is an annual Japanese festival in which babies are held in the arms of sumo wrestlers in an open-air sumo ring. Two babies compete in a short match in which the first child to cry is proclaimed the winner. According to Japanese folklore, a crying baby has the power to ward off evil spirits, while a strong, loud cry indicates the child will grow up strong and healthy."

Lady Bird Lake in Austin could be safer with signs / guardrails
By Hicbd
"East Austin residents say drownings in Lady Bird Lake have been ongoing for decades, but the city has done very little to improve safety conditions in their neighborhood. Advocates say something as simple as signs and guardrails could help prevent future deaths."

People could live in country clubs / communities
By Hicbd
"Nick believes millennials—born between 1981 and 1996—are tired of paying more for less in the city. In Austin, $3 million might buy a roughly 3,000-square-foot house on a small parcel, she says, whereas that same price in Barton Creek might buy a 5,000-square-foot to 6,000-square-foot house on a half to one acre in a community with easy access to four 18-hole golf courses, tennis, workout facilities, swimming and more."

Mindfulness could be through starfish breathing
By Hicbd
"Step 1: You and your child will put one hand up and make a starfish.
Step 2: Use your child’s other hand to track the perimeter of each finger and follow with their eyes.
Step 3: When their finger is going up, they will take a deep breath in,
Step 4: When their finger is going down, they will let out their breath."

Bread bags could use ties instead of potentially dangerous clips
By Hicbd
"The two studies were published in this week's Medical Journal of Australia. The author emphasises the dangers associated with hard plastic bread bag clips, and recommends replacing them with tape. Typically, people who swallow clips are elderly. The clips tend to snag on the small bowel lining, which causes obstruction or perforation."

U.S. Medicaid could be more available to those in need / have less administrative errors
By Hicbd
"Several states keep the bar for qualifying “troublingly high” while adopting a “deeply moralizing tone” with barriers to entry such as work requirements...In the meantime, he advised handling the current unwinding and Medicaid enrollment in general with more care and efficiency, such as using existing information to re-enroll rather than onerous annual paperwork, as well as more oversight for MCOs."

Chocolate chip cookies could be chip-less
By Hicbd
"A chocolate chipless cookie has a soft center, crisp edges, and tastes darkly sweet like caramel. And it doesn’t contain those pesky chocolate morsels."

Grieving students could be given more / better support in schools
By Hicbd
"Childhood bereavement is all too common; the vast majority of children experience a significant loss by the time they complete high school. Yet grieving children are vastly overlooked—both in society at large and in schools in particular. Schools have a critical role to play in the grief journeys of children who have lost a loved one. Teachers’ and classmates’ responses to a student’s grief can either serve as a source of support and stability during a difficult time, or as an additional hurdle to surmount. Moreover, grief can have a serious impact on learning for school-age children; bereavement can manifest itself in decreased academic performance, social withdrawal, and behavioral problems."
