What’s up with WicInd Group

JEDoud-Web Log (BLOG)

We’ve been busy putting together new retailer campaigns, while at the same time trying to expand our line of products to enhance the offerings to customers. My research so far has provided me with valuable information on the viability of product awareness. I have found nearly too much information, and therefore it has been difficult to put the web site together in view of my desire to provide our customers with valuable information. We have also had some difficulty with the development of a secure form for ordering and order processing. We have considered working with PayPal on the site, but so far their customer service has not imp[ressed me. They seem okay for their transaction purposes, but I prefer to have better access to humans when I want specific answers. Even a better response from their email would be appreciated. Our next choice was to move to DirectPay from Yahoo, but there seems to be a problem with authorizing the account. My biggest complaint with the security troubles is authentication. I know that SSL will provide a secure layer, and that transaction databases can record those transactions, but payment processing is still a difficult process. Furthermore the process of remembering passwords and security keys or secrecy questions is a hassle I need to find a solution to. I am looking at alternatives, but for now standard procedures are being implemented to facilitate secure transaction through the web-site. Expect that we will be able to accept payments by the end of September.

That’s all for now—end of transmission—Huston We Have Lift Off… -James E. Doud-

A much cleaner world.

By assembling the pieces we can bring the entire puzzle into view. Each and every person could contribute to create a finer existence, not a socialist concept, but a genuine world of peace and harmony. It does require sacrifice to some extent, we must all pledge to give up some of our more wasteful actions and behaviors, however in the view of current existence, that is a small price to pay for peaceful existence. To all you who have aspirations to rule the world I ask, if given the chance what would you do with your reign? If killing people because they hold a difference of opinion is part of your new world order, perhaps you need to review your goals and policies. If religion is your sword of destruction, perhaps you need to review your belief system, and begin to have faith in the natural order of balance. For it is only balance that will bring about peace. As long as you oppress one for the other, there will always be one whom will strive to reset the balance, "in their favor". We the people of this world should strive to achieve balance with the natural order, allowing for the idiosyncratic anomalies that make life in general interesting, while understanding the difference between desires, want and need. Where the desire for want comes at the expense of the many for the few, the needs of the many become the passion of the few who will desire to balance the wants of the few who have what is beyond their needs. I don't want a luxurious life, I don't need an opulent existence, I desire balance and peace, and that cannot be won by anyone, only allowed to flourish, wild, unkempt, and unadulterated. You cannot win peace; you can only give peace, and therefore receive peace. This concept is the force behind my desire to promote the WicInd, Group and its brands, because although you cannot purchase balance, you can start the process by buying from companies like the WicInd, Group who work toward the goals of world balance, not world domination.
