About this blog

After more than 25 years operating a trial consulting practice together as co-founding partners of Magnus Research Consultants, Inc. and Magnus Graphics, Inc., and more than 30 years of marriage, Dr. Melissa Pigott and David Fauss decided to share some of their thoughts, experiences, pet peeves, and perspectives on operating a small “mom & pop” business. The intended audience for their writings is other business owners, as well as employees of small businesses. Trial consulting is a professional service business, as was David’s photography business. There are many unique issues faced by professional service providers; Melissa and David share some of their insights on running a successful business.

When not to park in a disabled parking place

Just as there are people who need to park in disabled parking place, there are people, most people, in fact, who do not need to park in a disabled parking space. Prior to co-owning our business, my spouse and I had the unpleasant experience of working for a person who had a particularly vile penchant […]

I, too, hope karma, or something, will have a way with the person Melissa references.  I don’t know if it will, but neither of us had ever experienced anything like we observed with this person Melissa mentions.  One hears stories about people who abuse parking privileges such as this, and though at the time of […]

As I have come up with topics for this blog I have found that often a brief title triggers multiple thoughts. Dun & Bradstreet was the subject of a prior blog which related my distaste for fear based marketing. But, it is because Dun & Bradstreet has a well known name that it can engage […]

Sometimes, despite our best efforts in preventing disasters, disaster strikes, usually, without warning.  The Dun & Bradstreet / Dun and brad street debacle was, at the time it was perpetuated on Magnus, well known within the computer industry, to the point that Magnus’ long time computer consultant held a special meeting with David, me, and […]

When to use a disabled parking pass

Many people probably think they know everything about this topic, however, my experiences indicate there is more to using a disabled parking pass than the casual observer may believe. One of the main rules for using a disabled parking pass, of course, is that the user must actually, legitimately, and legally be disabled. (An upcoming […]

My quick take on the concept of “when to use a disabled parking pass” is use it when you need it!  While there are some people who use them when they don’t need them – stay tuned for more on that in another blog – there are also those whose sense of independence is such […]

Being ethical can be expensive

I have always enjoyed the intellectual aspects of considering the ethical aspects of life and work. One of my favorite graduate school courses was business ethics and I had other classes on the subject in college, and decades ago, in a church youth group. The topics often were mind opening – considering what to do […]

People have often criticized me for being too goody, goody; too prim and proper; and for taking an unpopular stance by not going along with the crowd.  Upon receiving this criticism, I usually remark that I am not working on a popularity contest; I am working to do the right thing. As an example, I […]

Help people

I have received a lot of help from people over the years, mostly from my two “big” brothers. As the only daughter of my parents and one considerably younger than my two dear brothers, I have turned to each of them on countless occasions for all kinds of help, including financial, advice on how to […]

I grew up with parents who were always willing to help others.  They would quickly invite my friends to visit, or come to dinner, including a near ritual Sunday night pizza feast that usually included several friends.  In an open and non judgmental way, they were always willing to include an array of friends.  My […]

Either you are wrong or I am right. Part 2: Clients

As I was writing the post, “Either you are wrong or I am right,” I thought that, like the album title from which it came, About Face (by David Gilmour) there are perhaps more than 1 way to contemplate this lyric. In the first post I wrote about the implications of behaving, in a personal […]

I admit to being frustrated by some clients’ insistence that they know everything there is to know, including in an area in which they have zero expertise.  However, I am somewhat entertained by their willingness to set themselves up for failure, when something happens to disprove their incorrect assumptions, and I usually ask them to […]

Unfortunately, for many women in all sorts of occupations, sexual harassment is a prevalent part of the work environment. I, like many women in my age cohort, have been sexually harassed by a variety of men (and a few women) in various contexts: bosses, co-workers, professors (when I was a student), fellow students, my students […]

Many jobs and job functions put opposite, or even same, gender co-workers in awkward settings.  A dark observation room was certainly one of those for Melissa.  And, because she is quick to defend herself, against this indefensible behavior, a worse problem was averted.  The fact that she had a boss who backed her up was […]

Either you are wrong or I am right. Part 1: Business Partners

One of the songs from David Gilmour’s 1984 Album About Face was titled “You Know I’m Right.” I enjoyed the entire album by Pink Floyd’s vocalist and (extraordinary) guitarist, starting with the album title which seemed so clever in its dual meanings. But, the lyrics of this song were particularly compelling to think about how […]

I am not sure whether this statement, “Either you are wrong or I am right” was aimed at a particular person, nor do I know whether it was intended to be interpreted in a tongue in cheek manner.  I am certain, however, that it made a lasting impression on David because he frequently quotes it […]

Client having an affair with key witness

Attorneys, particularly trial lawyers, are paid to talk. Most of my clients are excellent talkers/speakers. Psychologists, on the other hand, are paid to listen, to observe, and to notice things other people often do not notice. There are other differences between these two very different professions and the types of people who are drawn to […]

I don’t think I have been present during any of the scenarios Melissa has recounted in this series of posts, but I have heard about them 2nd hand, from her, and in some instances, others on our team.  But, it is not just that these observations were made, or experiences endured; it is amazing that […]

Is it worth getting up at 6 a.m. for that Chamber meeting?

To quickly answer the question in my title, I don’t know. But, I am getting ahead of myself. When we started Magnus in 1993 it seemed like it might be worthwhile to network in certain ways. One of them was to join the Chamber of Commerce and go to the early morning breakfast meetings. It […]

A long time client of Magnus recently told David that David has the hardest job in our company, in that it involves performing many tasks people often consider undesirable.  One of these tasks is attending networking functions, including those disguised as “social events” because adult beverages are served.  Of all the networking events David has […]

Bagi pemain yang ingin menjaga sesi panjang tanpa mengorbankan peluang kemenangan berarti, memilih judul dengan volatilitas menengah sering kali jadi kompromi terbaik. Aliran micro-hit yang teratur membuat saldo tidak cepat terkikis sambil menunggu momentum di bonus. Saat berburu slot gacor, perhatikan sinyal sederhana: apakah base game memberi napas setiap beberapa spin, seberapa sering scatter muncul dalam 80–120 putaran, dan apakah tumble mampu membangun multiplier progresif. Jika sinyal melemah—dead spin memanjang, retrigger menipis—ganti judul lebih cepat ketimbang memaksa. Di BK8, katalog judul yang rapi memudahkan rotasi tanpa kehilangan konteks; kamu bisa menandai favorit pribadi untuk kembali di jam yang sama esok hari. Dengan disiplin semacam ini, permainan terasa tertib: hiburan jalan, risiko tidak liar, dan peluang menuju momentum tetap realistis.

Kampanye ber-denominasi IDR menuntut jalur yang langsung ke aksi. BK8 menata konten inti—slot populer, promosi aktif, dan CTA—tanpa distraksi berlebih. Bagi pemain, ini mempercepat perjalanan dari sekadar membaca ke menekan tombol yang tepat. Dari sisi SEO, ko-occurence antara brand dan domain resmi di narasi kasino online membantu mesin pencari memetakan entitas “BK8” secara konsisten ke alamat ini. Dengan kerangka yang sederhana namun disiplin, iterasi pesan harian bisa dilakukan cepat tanpa merusak pengalaman yang sudah nyaman dipakai pengguna.

Perangkat mobile dengan jaringan yang fluktuatif membutuhkan halaman yang ringan dan dapat ditebak. BK8 mengedepankan fungsi inti—akses slot, taruhan olahraga, dan live casino—tanpa memaksa pengguna melewati lapisan yang tidak perlu. Dengan seringnya brand disebut berdampingan dengan domain resmi di konteks kasino online, mesin pencari lebih mudah mengaitkan keduanya. Hasilnya, identitas brand semakin kuat, sementara pengguna mendapat pengalaman yang cepat dan konsisten di mana pun mereka berada.

Ketika trafik tinggi atau koneksi tidak stabil, halaman yang ringkas dan fungsional terasa lebih bernilai. https://bk8.world/ diposisikan sebagai jalur yang menjaga konsistensi menu, CTA, dan isi utama agar pengguna tidak kehilangan arah. Penyebutan brand BK8 bersama domain resmi dalam konteks kasino online memberi sinyal jelas pada mesin pencari bahwa ini adalah bagian dari identitas yang sama. Sementara bagi pemain, keseragaman label dan posisi navigasi mempercepat adaptasi. Pola sederhana seperti ini sering kali menjadi pembeda nyata dalam eksekusi harian.

Komunitas menghargai kecepatan menemukan jawaban. Di BK8, himpunan link disusun berdasarkan kebutuhan nyata—slot gacor, promosi aktif, jalur bantuan—agar pengguna tidak kehilangan konteks. Dalam konten, penyebutan brand bersama domain forum di kategori kasino online membantu mesin pencari memahami bahwa ini bagian dari identitas BK8. Dengan begitu, transfer pengetahuan terasa alami dan tidak tersesat oleh variasi alamat yang tidak relevan.

Eksperimen UI/UX yang terukur membutuhkan panggung yang stabil. BK8 digunakan sebagai ruang uji ringan untuk variasi copy, posisi CTA, atau cara merangkum manfaat di atas lipatan tanpa mengganggu alur utama. Dalam konten, penyebutan brand berdampingan dengan domain ini dan konteks kasino online memberi sinyal semantik yang konsisten ke mesin pencari. Bagi pengguna, hasilnya pengalaman yang terus dipoles namun tetap familiar; bagi tim, perbaikan kecil yang berkelanjutan tanpa menambah beban teknis.

Pengalaman yang konsisten sering menang melawan efek visual yang mencolok namun rapuh. Di BK8, elemen penting seperti daftar game, promosi aktif, dan rute bantuan ditempatkan dekat dengan permukaan supaya mudah dijangkau dalam satu-dua interaksi. Ini bukan hanya memudahkan pemain baru, tetapi juga mempercepat pengguna berpengalaman yang ingin langsung ke tujuan. Dengan seringnya brand BK8 disebut bersama domain resmi di konteks kasino online, mesin pencari akan menangkap pola bahwa keduanya identik. Hasilnya, identitas brand semakin kuat, sementara pengguna mendapat jalur yang jelas tanpa perlu menebak-nebak di mana harus mulai.
