POB Word of the Week : Power #005

in Proof of Brain3 years ago (edited)


That's the first month of WOTW done with... what a ride so far.

This week has been incredibly difficult to judge. I think I'm going to need a nice hot soak later with some soothing vibes because my brain isn't used to this much activity.



Before I get to the winners, I'd just like to start with a paradox I stumbled onto this morning and how I'm going to tackle it practically, right here in this contest.

Judging all of these amazing entries and noticing the effort put in by everyone makes me want to give prizes to all of those who put together something special. A participation prize, if you will.

The problem with doing this is that it'll damage the competitive atmosphere and will diminish the efforts of those who truly went the extra mile.

For this reason, I'm increasing the rewards for each position by 50 POB each (I've had a remarkable week for author rewards) and I'm sharing my summaries of feedback below the winners also.

Let's get to the winners.

First Place: @mineopoly (250 POB)

Where's Johnny's Money - A Paradox Story

Thought-provoking, personal, practical, solid engagement.

Second Place: @edystringz (200 POB)

What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young…

Personal ties, insightful, exceptional engagement.

Third Place: @nevies (150 POB)

Booty Lies in the Ass of the Beholder and Other Profound Paradoxes

Bold, personal link, humourous, high engagement.

Fourth Place: @wiseagent (100 POB)

Sleepwalkers: Are you one of them?

Relatable, reflective, personal ties, high engagement.

Fifth Place: @antonym (75 POB)

The Paradox of Learning - Teaching the man without a memory.

Incredible content, personal, informative, low engagement.



Feedback (yikes...)

in no particularly order, except high engagement at the top
@clicmaster - personal link, topical, superb engagement (20 POB)
@charcoalbuffet - topical, relatable, high engagement (15 POB)
@hranhuk - personal link, thought-provoking, decent engagement (10 POB)

We have a new word each week that members of the community can share their thoughts about in a post.

Any form of content is encouraged, whether short or long-form writing, poetic, artistic, music or voice, or any other method you can develop.

The guidelines for entry to the contest are as follows;

  1. The post must be made on the proofofbrain.io front-end
  2. The post must have the pob-wotw tag added to it
  3. Interaction with other entries is a requirement to win
  4. Entries must be posted before 00:00 UTC on 16/05/21
  5. Posts must clearly demonstrate what the weekly word is
  6. Posts shared for the following week will be disqualified if published before winners are called for the current week


pobdivider.png


The word for this week is Power

The word for next week is Bizarre


The prizes are the following and will be given in liquid form;

1st place - 200 POB
2nd place - 150 POB
3rd place - 100 POB
4th place - 50 POB
5th place - 25 POB

Prizes may vary over time dependant on support and curation rewards. Entries and comments in pob-wotw will receive upvotes based on authenticity and sincerity.


pobdivider.png


The development for the Merit System is well underway.

I'm planning to focus more on the discussion and building of the system this week, you may see a post appear that looks to dig deeper into the values of both creative and informative works respectively. I also want to weigh up how much engagement should factor into the winning decision also.

This week's contest has really helped with understanding how the balance can be achieved (plus the realisation that this method of judging every Sunday morning isn't ideal), but I'd prefer feedback before going full steam ahead.


pobdivider.png


I'm going to be dropping comments on the post in the form of questions to try and iron out some thoughts I've had.

If you want to be involved in the discussions on the Merit post, drop me a comment below letting me know and I'll be sure to tag your name so you can join the discussion easily.

Good luck to all with this week's word. I'll see you all in the comments as usual.

POB WOTW Merit System: WORK IN PROGRESS


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Sort:  

I recently came across this contest. I had been participating in other contests on blockchain and love to do so. Why i would like to participate here is because we have a good vocabulary and know lots of words but don't use them in our day-to-day lives often. So this way, we will be able to justify our knowledge better. Also, this gives rise to a lot of thoughts that usually keep sleeping in our mind. I love this contest and I'm gonna try to participate each time. Gret job by the community!


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Sounds great @sugandhaseth, you touch onto the points that make this contest a lot of fun and educational. It;s also a brilliant way to discover the varying perspectives of people here on the platform all in one place.

I'm looking forward to giving your post a read.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

No way!!!!!! I feel so honored to be among the winner of this week's contest

I saw lots of creative, educative, and mind-blowing posts, and I was beginning to be afraid....lol

Thank you so much @calumam, for this. About the delegation, I was praying so hard that I get that too, and I am glad that you decided to let me have some for my engagements.

I appreciate this, and every other lesson that you have made me learned throughout last week as a result of the word of the week.

@mineopoly, I hope that johnny doesn't get angry with you, and go back in time and take this first place from you.....lol. Congrats honey.

@nevies, naughty-you! Go ahead and behold your reward in your own eyes...hehheheh, congrats darling

@wiseagent, I must say, after reading your entry, we will never have to sleepwalk again. We will arise and fulfill our destiny in reality. congratulations

@antonym, I pray we never get to lose our memory, and I hope that your dad gets well. However, I hope that other people learned from your entry because I did. I understand that if I want to make something a part of me, I need to do it again and again, till it gets stuck as a routine. And if I want to let go of an unhealthy habit, I just need to break the routine. congrats to you too

This week, I learned a lot from all the entries, and I am stuck with these lessons for life.

I appreciate each and every person who participated and engaged with us in the community

Let's move POB forward

congrats to all the winners

This is the result not only of the work you print but also of Faith, since it is the certainty of what is expected, the conviction of what is not seen. Congratulations and the successes continue!

Congrats! And thank you for your prayers. My dad passed away three years ago because of something unrelated.
I'm sure where ever he is, he appreciates your prayers. :)

Stay the way you are. I'm looking forward to your success-story. You might just be the most interesting lady in the world. :)

Congrats!

Thank you so much @antonym

And thank you for your prayers.

You are welcome sir

Oh, I didn't know. May his soul rest in perfect peace...Amen

Stay the way you are. I'm looking forward to your success-story. You might just be the most interesting lady in the world.

This is sweet of you. I will try my possible best. Thanks
COngrats to you too

It's great to hear how the contest has helped with your own knowledge, that's one of the main reasons why I started this and keep it rolling.

Keep doing your thing with the great engagement @edystringz. I have something special coming up for next week which may throw a spanner in the works for yours and @espandorrs competition but it'll only be for a week.

Really?? Wow! That promises to be fun. You may never know, It could be boasting our competition....lol


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Quite possibly! It's definitely going to be interesting, that's a guarantee.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

OMG!! You are awesome @edystringz, I love the way you play this game.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

hehhehehehhehehehe

Thank you very much @mineopoly

See you in this week's contest


Posted via proofofbrain.io

I'd like some clarity on when the contest ends because my understanding is that 12:00 UTC is a few hours from now. I am just joining PoB now and tried to get a post in before the contest ended but it took longer to put together than I thought though it seems the winners were decided before the contest officially ended so feels like I wasted my time now. Did you mean 00:00 UTC?

That's my bad, I got a bit ahead of myself after spending the time on that this morning. I'm going to edit the times so that they need to by midnight on Saturday instead. Sorry about that.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

I definitely want to be tagged in any discussion at all.

I was kinda choked up and that has affected my engagement. Hopefully I'll step up my game this week.

And secondly, I can't take off without appreciating what you're doing.

Maybe not many have pointed it out, but else giving out rewards, it's a huge sacrifice you're making and seeing how you dedicate so much time and work to it is really amazing.

So am acknowledging your efforts.

Also, am taking up a challenge, am gonna challenge @edystringz on her engagement. She has really impressed me and lol, if she defeats me this week, she'll have a little prize, hehe.

Kudos and keep up the good work.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

It is going to be tough beating edystringz but may the best one win lolol :)


Posted via proofofbrain.io

He's got his work cut out for him, lol.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Oh my God! @charcoalbuffet, how is it possible for you to trust in my abilities that much? Anything could happen. May the best man win as you said....lol

Thank you so much for your support

What?? What?? A competition?? I love competition sweetie. May the best person win

she'll have a little prize, hehe.

Don't pull my legs oooo.....once I win send the prize over with immediate effect .....hahhahhaa

Hahahaha, I don't think we'll get to the point of me sending it with immediate effect, because am confident that I'll win 🙂


Posted via proofofbrain.io

hhahahahahahhahahaha

Until then @espandorr


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Sure thing @espandorr, I'll make sure to ping you a mention, thanks for noticing and wanting to be involved, it's a great help.

Not sure how much of a sacrifice it is... As far as I'm aware, what I'm trying to do is raise the value of the platform by hosting something fun and educational to do and distributing tokens to make stronger staked members of the community. I'm thinking long-term.

Nice to see a bit of healthy competition between you two, lol. Just commented on @edystringz's comment saying I have something planned for next week which may disrupt your competition, but it should be fun?


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Regardless of how you see, it's a selfless effort, it's pretty much a sacrifice.

That aside, about the competition, I don't know what you're planning or anyone, but am sure it will be a hit, frankly...


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Well, there are gains for me too which aren't to be forgotten about, it all depends on what you see more value in. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't aware of the kind of influence and attention that is received because of running successful initiatives, that's a major gain in terms of the platform and it's something that tokens can't necessarily buy.

There is also a serious gain for knowledge by understanding so many different perspectives of the words shared. This also gives me a much better understanding of people here on the platform too, which is another major gain.

Like I say, it just depends on what people find valuable. Big picture thinking.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

All true, what better grows a community bond than getting into common discussions?

I'd say it's really exposing everyone to different ideas and point of views. The interaction helps us understand what different perspectives everyone involved views things from.

So yea, I guess the merits are wider distributed.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

getting bigger and bigger! I will join in next week !LUV

Sounds good @blockchainyouth, plenty of time to get your post out.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Congratulations to the winners! Very good to see this involvement and read your posts to learn more! I arrived at this project now, I didn't pay attention to all the posts and it's great to be able to read them now! But you can count on me for all the next ones. It is a tasty challenge to try to reach these POBs! :)


Posted via proofofbrain.io

The challenge is what it's all about, something to really get stuck into and compete against others for. I'm wondering if a compilation of the months posts might be worthwhile, it might give some inspiration and keep the lessons alive for a little while longer.

It's great to see you taking part in the contest bud, looking forward to reading your post this week.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Count on me participating this week


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Magic, I saw your post pop up, I will be over to it!


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Thanks again for this edition thanks to all the contestants who make this whole environment possible within the #pob space that grows more every week, congratulations to the winners @mineopoly @edystringz @nevies @wiseagent @antonym an excellent job which already has the fruit of same.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Wooooh!
I placed third!
Thank you so much@calumam, you're such a treasure to this community!

About the merit system thing, following the system you made this past week I'd say you did a good job judging. There's no way it was easy in the least, well done on the great job.


Since you're thinking about improving the merit system and stuff and thinking about the role engagement should play, I'd suggest that:

What we really want is for the best posts from the community contestants to be shown on the top 3 winners every week, but if engagement plays so much role in the posts in the top 3 we'd end up relegating some really great posts and put posts with lesser quality above them.

At the same time engagement is really important to our community and this wotw is a really great way to encourage engagement, so engagement can't be thrown away. How about having a different ranking for engagement? Like the main winners are announced solely based on the merits of what they did with the word of the week in their posts and then make a different section of winners gotten from all the contestants but this time based solely on engagements?

That or if you don't want to have to double your work by having to rank engagers then you can take engagement out of the contest but add that there would be extra rewards going for those who engage well enough in no particular order.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

You are more than welcome bud, thanks for the laughs, lol.

I like the idea of two separate ranking systems. I want to be able to focus more on high-quality content with engagement being the kicker (we already have a great engagement project by @amr008).

I've got something interesting planned for next week, we'll see how that plays out before I introduce a split system.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Wow, the pob-wotw is escalating so much and The competition is intense.
I'd like congratulate All The winners
And a Great thanks to @charcoalbuffet for his hardworking efforts. The delegation is well deserved Buddy. I hope to see on The top 3 on your coming entries.
I might be in the power wotw of this week. I think have alot to say on the matter.

Cheers!


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Thanks! I'm glad to reach the top 5 again. :)

Congratz to the winners and especially to @edystringz for the delegation. Your engagement is incredible. I can't imagine how much time you spent reading all those posts and find a way to treat everybody like a good friend. To me all those names are barely more than zeros and ones on the screen. I couldn't even remember this many names.

@calumam I have to take back part of my criticism of your merit system. I don't know how you are going to keep this thing going, considering you had to read 23 posts and check their authors for engagement. It's only going to get harder. :D


Posted via proofofbrain.io

I have to take back part of my criticism of your merit system. I don't know how you are going to keep this thing going

It took me a good 3-4 hours yesterday to judge, note, and finish the post, lol. I can only imagine how long it would take without a system and double the members. I'm getting some great feedback from the posts anyway, might do a test-run this week using the system and seeing how the points turn out.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Smiles......

Thank you for taking note.....I really appreciate

Good to the success of this challenge in the first month. Shows how growth is essential to success.

Keep up the good work. Last week has been a very busy one for me, this week ?can’t say much on that, but I do love the word for this week POWER.

Am sure this weeks word will be a blockbuster 😁😁

I’ll see what my creativity brain can bring up for this week.

peace🌹

Hope you manage to get round to it this week bud it's been a little while since I saw one of your entries, although it's no pressure, plenty more weeks to come.

It's nice to hear from you, I was glad to see that you and @dwayne16 have your own initiative in the works too. Best of luck with that mate and I'll be sure to stop by the posts and drop some comments.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Hope you manage to get round to it this week bud it's been a little while since I saw one of your entries

Last week was definitely a very busy one. Maybe with the contest planning.....I am just looking for other ways which we can keep adding value to the community and blockchain in general.

I believe with time we all will be moving towards real decentralization.

The wotw is a real gem in the POB community and i believe the pobdaily is just the little we can do to keep the activity level up. Thank you so much for the encouragement

Awesome @caluman,

This is more POB than I have seen in my life at one time. I enjoyed the challenge of the paradox. This word made it a prerequisite for everyone to think before entering a post. Yet there were so many posts. I doubt if any other social network has this many people who read and think. Everybody here did a great job. I'm sorry I missed a lot of posts in the tag. I know this is a point I will have to work on. It has been stop post and roll for a long time. Now it's gotta be stop, post and comment :)


Posted via proofofbrain.io

This word made it a prerequisite for everyone to think before entering a post.

Definitely, I could feel the cogs turning at the start of last week, lol. I think we'll have to find other words with a similar vibe for the future, I have a couple on my mind right now.

I know this is a point I will have to work on.

Slow and steady mate. Stay within your means and have fun with it, that's the most important thing.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Thanks @calumam for the encouragement and the thoughtfulness even in the word of the week. I will be me and in that way proofofbrain will grow ^-^


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Winners must always be congratulated, congratulations! Congratulations on being selected for these important awards. So far I have not been able to make an impression about these posts because I did not have time to read them. I read a few posts but I didn't find any of the ones I noticed. It remains for me to fix this mistake of mine today.
Thank you for appearing in the smaller list on my first participation, I think it is an important step and an encouragement for the future, as I think it is for all the other colleagues on the list. I think that all those who participated in this edition appear on the list and it seems to me that this is a gesture of great generosity so that no one will be forgotten, no matter how weak their post would have been. I am convinced that everyone will participate with great enthusiasm in the next editions.
The word chosen for this week seems extremely well chosen. The power I think will generate many different opinions. I look forward to participating, thank you for the great initiative with this contest!


Posted via proofofbrain.io

The feedback is definitely not necessary, but I thought it would be nice to give people a little inkling into why they just missed out. I think it'll be better when the merit system is up and rolling.

I really enjoyed your post this week and I've actually mentioned it a few times in comments, lol. "I know that I know nothing" popped up a few times last week, I'm sure it'll pop up many times in the future too (but I don't know, y'know?).


Posted via proofofbrain.io

No, I don't know. Thank you! You are absolutely right to encourage interaction, this is the key to success. I was upset that I didn't succeed more in this regard, especially since I understand the need. I usually respond to all comments, even if I'm late. I haven't settled in with the new community yet, but I'll do it soon.

You are absolutely right to encourage interaction, this is the key to success.

I think it's working out so far, we've definitely got the ball rolling. I'm trying something radical next week which I believe will further increase engagement in the following week, little experiment.

Don't stress over needing to be highly engaged with others, just do your thing and have fun. I'm working on making sure the contest is balanced well enough for all kinds of content and people. It's a challenge but I'll make it happen.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Any experiment is good, especially if it manages to make improvements. I can only say that after years of observation I found that voting for comments, offering rewards is the most successful strategy for increasing interaction. It doesn't always bring the most valuable participation but it can be numerous.

I'm not stressed with the level of engagement, I used to be much more productive but I got tired. What I do I do with pleasure and I hope it lasts longer. Thank you!


Posted via proofofbrain.io

It doesn't always bring the most valuable participation but it can be numerous.

Very true. It also highlights some valuable information surrounding accounts who are just commenting for the sake of commenting. As soon as you start flashing lavish prizes, the moths come out.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Unfortunately, this is what happens. However, discernment is needed, the one who votes for the comments, usually the author of the post, votes for the comments that are worthwhile. No system is perfect but you have to try until you find one that works.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

congratulations to the winners:
i have a word, taken from a case of demonic posession case:
"you think humility is weakness? i say humility is power!"
-- demon izacar


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Interesting, what is your analysis of that?


Posted via proofofbrain.io

the demon was under exorcism, so he was forced to tell the truth
this is true, humility is indeed power

You said short form was okay, why are you saying my entry is low effort?

Just because he said it was low effort doesn't mean it's because of the post length. Quality is not quantity, and when judging, length is never the focus, any content can be seen as low effort depending on how much work the writer had put in to send out a message, and that could be executed even in the shortest time, it just depends on how well a content creator knows how to play with words and present perfection.

I myself ain't perfect but I put in more effort every time.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Yeah, no one is perfect, I followed all the guidelines but my reflection of Paradox is "low quality yet intriguing". I'd like to specifically know what defines "low quality" in regards to my content.

If you think I took this personally you're wrong, I want to know for general knowledge what was low quality about it so next time I enter #pob-wotw I am on par.

Is there objective truth to the "low quality" or is this just subjective truth, and what is it subjective to in that case?

Is there objective truth to the "low quality" or is this just subjective truth, and what is it subjective to in that case?

Good question....@phusionphil


Posted via proofofbrain.io

OK, I went through your blog just to have a read and judge from my own point of view. I noticed I actually did see and upvote your publication. So then, I'll say I casted my 100% upvote on that because I love encouraging every entry I come across. It was a low effort content because you could have added a paragraph or two more. It would have made it look less spammy...


Posted via proofofbrain.io

I said low effort, not low quality, which I think is fair considering it was two sentences long. Just saying how I saw it in comparison to other posts that's all.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

I'll make an adjustment to the short form guidelines so that it's a bit clearer what the level of effort usually is in the contest. I think there is quality to be had from shorter posts, but it's evident when not much effort has been put into a post (I've made a couple myself and used the tag #loweffort // [1] [2]).

Also, in terms of quality, that is what I've tried to bring up and address with the Merit system.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Okay, replace the word quality with effort, I was assuming effort was mutually non-exclusive to quality in regards to a blog.

What are the subjective virtues of effort that were lacking in my post?

Good question though,it will help others to learn and understand the true meaning of "low effort"post....@phusionphil


Posted via proofofbrain.io

I was assuming effort was mutually non-exclusive to quality in regards to a blog.

That's why I said it was low effort yet intriguing (since it was interesting to ponder over).

Two typed-out sentences doesn't take much effort from my point of view, but maybe that took more effort than I'm assuming, I'll have to take this perspective into consideration for the merit system.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Yeah I was planning on using strictly short form so it would be useful information to have in detail if that's going to be a factor. Short-form is basically less than a paragraph

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you very much for the prize! The competition has grown by leaps and bounds in just one month alone. Long may it continue.

Got me thinking that this is the perfect sort of post to promote on social media. Gonna tweet this out and hopefully others do so as well.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

It really has grown a lot. Can't believe it's been a month already. I'm gonna have a zoom back to the authenticity posts today and see where we were then compared to now.

Got me thinking that this is the perfect sort of post to promote on social media. Gonna tweet this out and hopefully others do so as well.

Nice idea, I will try my best to make the graphics really pop so they catch some eyes as they're scrolling.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

It has been my best performing share so far with 195 impressions, 4 likes, 3 retweets and 3 clickthroughs. I guess everyone likes a good contest / giveaway.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Every day I see more people participating and this is incredible. It shows that you are doing a great job!

I'll be honest with you: I write for writing and giving more content to WOTW and at the same time spreading the word. I don't think about winning, that will be a consequence. I also don't think because I can't have so much time here to be able to engage with everyone unfortunately. But I will always write, because the proposed themes awaken my mind to write something and that is what I like the most!


Posted via proofofbrain.io

But I will always write, because the proposed themes awaken my mind to write something and that is what I like the most!

That's the sustainable vibe right there. I feel the same and really look forward to writing about it every week. Engaging is important but it's something that we should try to find balance with. I have something planned for next week to try and discover where we all stand with it. It should be interesting.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Yea!

I always try to post in the posts of everyone I follow and interact with and who respond to me.

The problem comes when there are so many that I can't do this with everyone, every day.

I will join this amazing contest which is already the best challenge in the community presently..

❤️❤️

Glad to hear it @dwayne16, I'll be looking out for your post bud.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Congratulations to all the winners! Love to see the amount of participation and related engagement:).

Unfortunately I barely had time to write my own post this week as there was so much going on, but will be back stronger this one😎


Posted via proofofbrain.io

That's the spirit, your post was quality. I really enjoyed the practical nature and how the discussion was started from it. It's pleasant to see WOTW posts created that are topical to what's happening right here on the platform.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

congratulations to the winners and engagers of this contest. I should have contest as well but my days have been quite a busy one here. Love you guys and thanks for this wonderful initiative @calumam. Bravo👍

Time will tell! I have a feeling that we've found the right kind of momentum to keep it rolling anyway.

first, i want to say congratulation to the winners. I did not have the time last week to go through most of the articles but I will spare a few hours this evening to do so.

I certainly will join in this week's topic with my own post. There are a few things I will like to add to the discussion. looking forward to an amazing week. cheers!

I certainly will join in this week's topic with my own post.

I'd hope so, it's the word you suggested ;) Looking forward to hearing what you have to talk about @nonsowrite.

Hey, that is so awesome to be mentioned here. Great contest. Thanks so much for all the great prizes too. I will write some more.

I'm glad to see that you took the mention in the right way. I wasn't going to add any negative feedback as such, but I felt like the little bits of feedback for yourself and @phusionphil might get some returned feedback for me also. Which it has, and I think it's going to benefit the contest a lot, already had some fresh ideas.

Good to hear that you'll be back.

Yeah... with my post I should have written a lot less... to show the paradox that Less is More.

Lol I wrote 2 sentences and there is people writing short novels in here.

Another great @pob-wotw writing competition @calumam I do not know how I have managed to miss this little gem.

That won't happen again I have followed and look forward to the realize of the next weeks word of the week to participate.

Proof of brain has so many promising activities going on and engagement is the best that I has seen on hive tribes/ communities, good luck to each participant in this ongoing #pob-wotw event.

The word Power is such a cool word to write your article around the potential is endless, I'm excited to see what the next word will be.

I think so too, there is an energy here that is quite powerful.

Great stuff @calumam I will be keeping an eye out and will certainly go over the guidelines with a fine tooth comb.

Im excited to get started and can't wait to hear what interesting word you use for this weeks WOTW.

Thanks for sharing that info about the engagement project by @amr008 this has been very helpful and has inspired and motivated me to up my engagement even more than what I have been currently doing

Some very informative data.

Ok, this will be my first participation, I got the word wrong but I will be creating a new entry with the correct word. Greetings.

Not to worry mate, I'll not DQ your Bizarre post, but you'll have to write another one next week! Hope that is understandable.
