"Or what" is the answer! How many of you guys out there wear a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM)? What do you REALLY get out of it? Don't get me wrong in a professional environment HR is an important indicator of work and in data collection a lot of important trends can be determined during a training program. For the average, non-professional athlete (of which even though fitness is my business, I am one), there is a far better training aid into which to invest your hard-earned cash.
I am talking of the "speed box" or "foot pod", the small thumb-sized bit of kit that attaches to your shoe laces and communicates with your watch (more usually a HRM!) So yeah I believe most of the time you will probably be investing in a HRM as well as the speed box/foot-pod but it's the latter that will make it's biggest contribution to your training program!
Why? Quite simply the "pod" will allow you to calibrate it for optimal efficiency (usually on a 400 metre track) and from that moment onwards you will have a prettyreliable measure of speed and distance on your training runs. I say pretty reliablebecause the pod counts how many strides you take over the given distance you calibrate it to and from this number averages out your stride length. Once you activate the pod when training, it immediately starts churning out your running speed in real time whilst squirrelling away time and distance for you to record once you have completed the run.
Clearly the output can be compromised by a few factors. These are predominantly incline/decline and running speed. Running uphill your stride length will decrease and I'm guessing the pod will overestimate your distance and the opposite for running downhill when your stride length increases and the pod underestimates your distance. As the watch is also recording elapsed time, speed in both instances will be off.
Likewise for running speed. If you calibrate over 5 km's and then do a 2 km timetrial when you will likely be running more quickly and have a longer stride length as a consequence, problems again may occur. Some amateur athletes may not face this problem (professional athletes would not) because their stride length is a constant. That's why they're good!
So there are reasons why the pod will not always be that accurate but as a general rule most of us just want to run faster over a given distance. Mucking around with markers and elapsed time is not always easy to track when out there alone but with aspeedo attached to your wrist, the game just became a whole lot easier!
I bought a Beurer HRM and Speed Box at the fitness show at Expo late last year for $350, a steal (well actually a show special!!) They usually cost $540!! I have owned Polar and Timex HRM's in the past and the Beurer smashes them, easily. This is due to the Beurer having a brighter, clearer watch face, being easier to use during a run and being made of sterner stuff than either the other 2. I am quite frankly loving the kit! The most unfortunate thing is the distributor here in Singapore are complete chumps and carry a small range and seem to have over-priced them as well.
When Perks, JR, Knotty and I were training for the Urbanathlon, the Beurer kit came in very handy indeed. JR bought a Polar with footpod and found it just too hard to use and the watch face was ridiculously dark and small. Enter my Beurer! We were doing 2-3 km time trials at 14-15 km/h and it was vital we knew where we were at at all times. We got it from the Beurer!!
If anyone is keen I can enquire to Germany about getting them straight from there, let me know. In the meantime, ramp up your training with a speed-box or foot-pod and really improve your running times!

Five chapters: Prehistoric Man to Hippocrates; Arabic Medicine, The Medieval Period and the Renaissance; The Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries; the Nineteenth Century; and the Twentieth Century are devoted to this evolution of knowledge of parasites and parasitism.

1st point to think about: full-time, tenure-track on the web teaching jobs are rare. Other websites and sources of data may possibly inform you that you can get hired with a master's degree but here is the truth – most schools want you to have a terminal degree. Some on the internet faculty earned as a lot as 100,000 a year and more teaching courses on the internet. Typically such knowledge is gained in the form of teaching assistantships and research projects all through your master's or Ph.D programs.
Teaching ability: Usually aspiring academics get so caught up in their own passion that they shed track of the key function of their profession: teaching. By getting an IT associates degree you will be certified for mainly entry level positions such as a computer technician and junior programmer. Job coaching and college can be brought into the house via on-line education.
I had occasion to under go the 41st staff college course at Wellington and I can vouchsafe that the course is surely a benefit for an officer in service but also when he enters Civvy Street. For instance, If you really like numbers, an accounting or marketing and advertising degree may possibly be very good for you. Courses in places such as engineering, law and legal research, philosophy and religion are also obtainable on-line.
The subjects covered below on the internet Masters in Education consist of curriculum development and management, human resource management and instructional designing and technologies. These who wish to make a complete-time salary carrying out on the internet adjunct operate will do ideal if they locate courses that call for the least quantity of reading and grading time: these that use simple-to-grade or auto-graded assignments like multiple-option tests.
Teachers can also qualify to teach specific subjects, such as music or art, to all grades from kindergarten to high college. Now with a doctorate in management, the individual will most likely be deemed certified to teach advertising courses. Regardless of whether you are expanding your art abilities for company or just for your own pleasure, on the internet art or design classes let you to discover at your pace in your residence.

Welcome back to #SlimmingSunday, the new weight loss and fitness linky from me, MrsShilts and Michelle from Mummy From The Heart.
Thank you to everyone who linked up last week, it was great to find new blogs and found out about everyone's diet and fitness journey's. I'm looking forward to fining out more about you all as we progress throughout the year.
It's been a bit of a hit and miss week for me. I had a fantastic weekend last weekend as I spent Saturday with my friends who I've met through Slimming World and Instagram. We were brought together at Slimming World HQ back in November for the bloggers Christmas lunch and we have kept in touch and become really good friends. We had afternoon tea (not so SW friendly) at the Hyatt hotel in Birmingham which was divine. I'll be writing all about that in the week so pop back for a read once the post is live. We then had a night out in Birmingham which was brilliant, I am definitely getting too old for clubs these days and much prefer a chilled out bar with music that's not too loud so I can chat properly to my friends.
I've had ridiculous toothache too this week which has left me unable to sleep properly and irritable. Thankfully I've had some treatment but still suffering from the after effects of it. I'm lethargic and hungry all the time at the moment (turns out you can't eat much when you have toothache) and to add insult to my misery, it's star week too so my body is craving all the things I shouldn't really be having.
I've been drinking lots of water this week and can highly recommend these water bottles from Hydratem8. They're a bit pricey but really do help me with my water intake. I've been drinking at least 3 of these every day and I've really noticed how a difference with my skin. It all helps with flushing everything out too!
I lost 0.5lb at weigh in this week which I was pleased with. Following on from the weekend's indulgent afternoon tea, I got straight back on plan and tried to do a bit of damage limitation. It worked and I lost a teeny tiny half a pound but I'm still grateful it was a loss.
It was taster night in group too as it was awards night, the winner of our groups Greatest Loser was announced and I'm delighted to say that I was awarded the title. It was a bit of a shock as I wasn't expecting it and fully expected someone else to receive it so it was a lovely surprise. I've written more about it here if you fancy a read.
Hopefully with the weather turning spring like, I'm hoping to get out more of an evening and get some steps in. I don't get chance to do much walking throughout the week but I'm hoping even 15 minutes of walking will help.
That said, I'm not expecting great things to happen on the scales this week as my body holds onto lots of water during my time of the month. Water retention is such a pain but hopefully it'll settle down towards the end of next week.

Mini-Classic ll Counter Top Pure Water Distiller
Best Countertop Water Distiller
Expert Review
While high-quality food grade plastics are suitable for use with water distillers, many people still find that the absolute best will have no plastic coming into contact with their water. This is the case with the Mini-Classic, which has a durable steel construction and a glass jar. No plastic comes into contact with the water at any point, ensuring resulting water is pure and clean.
This water distiller is made in the USA, which combined with its durable and high-quality construction helps justify the high price tag. It's capable of filtering roughly one gallon every three to four hours, using both steam distillation and carbon filtration. This water distiller is easy to use, requires no assembly or installation, and produces clean, great-tasting water.

Rajmund Roman Thierry Polański (born 18 August 1933) is a French-Polish[2] film director, producer, writer, and actor. Since 1978, he has been a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, having fled the country while awaiting sentencing for statutory rape.[3] Polanski was born in Paris, and his Polish-Jewish
Polish-Jewish parents moved the family back to Poland in 1937, when he was four. Two years later Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany and the USSR starting World War II during which Polanski spent the next six years of his childhood mostly on his own, trying to survive the ongoing Holocaust. Polanski's first feature-length film, Knife in the Water
Knife in the Water (1962), was made in Poland and was nominated for a United States Academy Award
Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[4] He has since received five more Oscar nominations, along with two BAFTAs, four Césars, a Golden Globe
Golden Globe Award and the Palme d'Or
Palme d'Or of the Cannes Film Festival
Cannes Film Festival in France. In the United Kingdom he directed three films, beginning with Repulsion (1965). In 1968 he moved to the United States and cemented his status by directing the horror film Rosemary's Baby (1968). A turning point in his life took place in 1969, when his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and four friends were brutally murdered by members of the Manson Family.[5] Following her death, Polanski returned to Europe and eventually continued directing. He made Macbeth
Macbeth (1971) in England and back in Hollywood, Chinatown (1974), which was nominated for eleven Academy Awards.[6] In 1977, Polanski was arrested and charged with drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. He subsequently pled guilty to the lesser offence of unlawful sex with a minor.[7] After spending 42 days undergoing psychiatric evaluation in prison in preparation for sentencing, Polanski, who had expected to be put on probation, learned that the judge planned to imprison him, so he fled to Paris.[8] In Europe, Polanski continued to make films, including Tess (1979), starring aspiring actress Nastassja Kinski. It won France's César Awards for Best Picture and Best Director, and received three Oscars. He later produced and directed The Pianist (2002), a World War II
World War II true story drama about a Jewish-Polish musician, starring Adrien Brody. The film won three Academy Awards
Academy Awards including Best Director, along with numerous international awards. He also directed Oliver Twist (2005), a story which parallels his own life as a "young boy attempting to triumph over adversity".[9] He was awarded Best Director for The Ghost Writer (2010) at the 23rd European Film Awards[10].

Early life
Polanski was born in Paris; he was the son of Bula (née
Katz-Przedborska)[11] and Ryszard Polański,[12] a painter and
manufacturer of sculptures, who had changed his family name from
Liebling.[13] His mother had a daughter, Annette, by her previous
husband. Annette managed to survive Auschwitz, where her mother died,
and left Poland forever for France.[14] Polański's father was Jewish
and originally from Poland; Polański's mother, born in Russia, had
been raised Roman Catholic and was of half Jewish
ancestry.[15][16][17] Polański's parents were both agnostics.[18]
Polański, influenced by his education in the People's Republic of
Poland, said "I'm an atheist" in an interview about his film,
Rosemary's Baby.[19]
World War II
The Polański family moved back to the Polish city of
I had just been visiting my grandmother ... when I received a foretaste of things to come. At first I didn't know what was happening. I simply saw people scattering in all directions. Then I realized why the street had emptied so quickly. Some women were being herded along it by German soldiers. Instead of running away like the rest, I felt compelled to watch. One older woman at the rear of the column couldn't keep up. A German officer kept prodding her back into line, but she fell down on all fours, ... Suddenly a pistol appeared in the officer's hand. There was a loud bang, and blood came welling out of her back. I ran straight into the nearest building, squeezed into a smelly recess beneath some wooden stairs, and didn't come out for hours. I developed a strange habit: clenching my fists so hard that my palms became permanently calloused. I also woke up one morning to find that I had wet my bed.[22]
Polish Jews captured by Germans during the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising
His father was transferred, along with thousands of other Jews, to
Mauthausen, a group of 49 German concentration camps in Austria. His
mother was taken to
They were really simple Catholic peasants. This Polish village was like the English village in Tess. Very primitive. No electricity. The kids with whom I lived didn't know about electricity ... they wouldn't believe me when I told them it was enough to turn on a switch![27]
He stated that "you must live in a Communist country to really understand how bad it can be. Then you will appreciate capitalism."[27] He also remembered events at the war's end and his reintroduction to mainstream society when he was 12, forming friendships with other children, such as Roma Ligocka, Ryszard Horowitz and his family.[28] Introduction to movies Polanski's fascination with cinema began very early, when he was around age four or five. He recalls this period in an interview:
Even as a child, I always loved cinema and was thrilled when my parents would take me before the war. Then we were put into the ghetto in Krakòw and there was no cinema, but the Germans often showed newsreels to the people outside the ghetto, on a screen in the market place. And there was one particular corner where you could see the screen through the barbed wire. I remember watching with fascination, although all they were showing was the German army and German tanks, with occasional anti-Jewish slogans inserted on cards.[29]
After the war, he watched films, either at school or at a local cinema, using whatever pocket money he had. Polanski writes, "Most of this went on the movies, but movie seats were dirt cheap, so a little went a long way. I lapped up every kind of film."[30] As time went on, movies became more than an escape into entertainment, as he explains:
Movies were becoming an absolute obsession with me. I was enthralled by everything connected with the cinema—not just the movies themselves but the aura that surrounded them. I loved the luminous rectangle of the screen, the sight of the beam slicing through the darkness from the projection booth, the miraculous synchronization of sound and vision, even the dusty smell of the tip-up seats. More than anything else though, I was fascinated by the actual mechanics of the process.[31]
He was above all influenced by Sir Carol Reed's
Odd Man Out

co-star John Huston[52]
Polanski returned to Hollywood in 1973 to direct Chinatown (1974) for
Paramount Pictures. The film is widely considered to be one of the
finest American mystery crime movies, inspired by the real-life
California Water Wars, a series of disputes over southern California
water at the beginning of the 20th century.[53]
It was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including those for actors
Jack Nicholson
[Polanski] took a lot of time, two years, preparing me for that film.... He was strict with me, but in a good way. He made me feel smart, that I could do things.

Tess was shot in the north of France instead of Hardy's England and
became the most expensive film made in France up to that time.
Ultimately, it proved a financial success and was well received by
both critics and the public. Polanski won France's
César Awards
Polanski with wife
Emmanuelle Seigner
Polanski followed this with the dark psycho-sexual film Bitter Moon
(1992), followed by a film of the acclaimed play Death and the Maiden
(1994) starring Sigourney Weaver.
In 1997, Polanski directed a stage version of his 1967 film The
Fearless Vampire Killers, which debuted in Vienna[72] followed by
successful runs in Stuttgart, Hamburg, Berlin, and Budapest. On 11

Carnage (2011)
Polanski shot Carnage in February/March 2011. The film is a screen
version of Yasmina Reza's play God of Carnage, a comedy about the
relationship between two couples after their children get in a fight
at school and the selfishness of everyone, which eventually leads to
chaos. It stars Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster,
Christoph Waltz
The problem of the film is the combination of casting and financing, it's an expensive film and films of this scale are only made with a bankable star, as they say vulgarly, and the stars capable of satisfying the financial requirement I do not necessarily see in the role of Picquart, who is our main character. Apart from that, there are about fifty important roles. They should all speak with the same accent in English, otherwise it would be appalling. It is necessary so that the film can be sold around the world. To unlock the financial means to produce such a project is impossible if you shoot in French."[102]
Marriages and relationships Barbara Kwiatkowska-Lass Polanski's first wife, Barbara Lass (née Kwiatkowska),[12] was a Polish actress who also starred in Polanski's 1959 When Angels Fall.[103] The couple were married in 1959 and divorced in 1961.[12] Sharon Tate
Sharon Tate
Polanski met rising actress
Sharon Tate
I had long known that it was impossible for a journalist to convey 100 percent of the truth, but I didn't realize to what extent the truth is distorted, both by the intentions of the journalist and by neglect. I don't mean just the interpretations of what happened; I also mean the facts. The reporting about Sharon and the murders was virtually criminal. Reading the papers, I could not believe my eyes. I could not believe my eyes! They blamed the victims for their own murders. I really despise the press. I didn't always. The press made me despise it.[29]
Among the media-generated sensationalism were rumors that claimed Tate
and her visitors were taking drugs, despite the coroner's announcing
that no traces of drugs or nicotine were found after Tate's
autopsy.[109] For years afterward, notes Sandford, "reporters openly
speculated about the Polanskis' home life" and their personalities in
order to create more media gossip about the private lives of Hollywood
Emmanuelle Seigner
In 1989, Polanski married French actress Emmanuelle Seigner, who is 33
years younger than him. They have two children, daughter Morgane and
son Elvis.[110] Polanski and his children speak Polish at home.[111]
Legal history
Sexual abuse case
Main article:
Roman Polanski
Mugshot of Polanski following his 1977 arrest
On 11 March 1977, three years after making Chinatown, Polanski was arrested at Jack Nicholson's home for the sexual assault of 13-year-old Samantha Gailey, who was modeling for Polanski during a Vogue magazine photo shoot around the pool. Polanski was indicted on six counts of criminal behavior, including rape.[110][112] At his arraignment, he pleaded not guilty to all charges. Many executives in Hollywood came to his defense.[113] Gailey's attorney next arranged a plea bargain in which five of the six charges would be dismissed, and Polanski accepted.[114] At the time of the incident, Nicholson was out of town making a film, but his steady girlfriend, actress Anjelica Huston, had dropped by unannounced to pick up some items. She heard Polanski in the other room say "We'll be right out."[115] Polanski then came out with Gailey and he introduced her to Huston, and they chatted about Nicholson's two large dogs which were sitting nearby. Huston recalled Gailey was wearing platform heels and appeared quite tall.[115] After a brief conversation, Polanski had packed up his camera gear and Huston saw them drive off in his car. Huston told police the next day, after Polanski was arrested, that she "had witnessed nothing untoward" and never saw them together in the other room.[115] Gailey learned afterwards that Huston had recently broken up with Nicholson, but stopped by to pick up some belongings.[116]
Polanski in 2007
As a result of the plea bargain, Polanski pleaded guilty to the charge of "Unlawful Sexual Intercourse with a minor,"[117][118] and was ordered to undergo 90 days of psychiatric evaluation at California Institution for Men at Chino.[119] Upon release from prison after 42 days, Polanski agreed to the plea bargain, his penalty to be time served along with probation. However, he learned afterward that the judge, Laurence J. Rittenband, had told some friends that he was going to disregard the plea bargain and sentence Polanski to 50 years in prison:[118][120] "I'll see this man never gets out of jail," he told Polanski's friend, screenwriter Howard E. Koch.[121] Gailey's attorney confirmed the judge changed his mind after he personally met with the judge in his chambers:
He was going to sentence Polanski, rather than to time served, to fifty years. What the judge did was outrageous. We had agreed to a plea bargain and the judge had approved it.[121][122]
Polanski's attorney told Polanski that "the judge could no longer be
trusted..." that the judge's representations were "worthless".[123]
Polanski decided not to appear at his sentencing. He told his friend,
director Dino De Laurentis, "I've made up my mind. I'm getting out of
here."[121] On the day before sentencing in 1978, Polanski left the
country on a flight to London, where he had a home. One day later, he
left for France.[124][125] As a French citizen, he has been protected
from extradition and has lived mostly in France since then.[126]
However, since he fled the United States before final sentencing, the
charges are still pending.
The victim, now married and going by the name Samantha Geimer, stated

Date: 2 June 2019
The Two hundred thousand (1). That is the number of people who will arrive safely by air at their destination before I complete this report.
Some will be reuniting with friends and family. Others will be on journeys of discovery, rejuvenation or learning. Still more will be on business—exploring markets or closing deals. A few will be starting a new life in a new land. And some will be travelling to solve political crises, share ideas or deliver help to those in need.Flying generates infinite possibilities that enrich our society. Because of the hard work of the leaders in this room—and the 2.7 million airline employees (2) who stand behind them—the world of 2019 is more connected than ever.
Flying is freedom!
And we can be proud that it is our business. Flying contributes to 15 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (3). And two recent events underscored how valued aviation is:
Unfortunately, creeping protectionist or isolationist political agendas are on the rise. And they threaten to compromise the value our industry creates. For aviation to be a catalyst of prosperity, borders must be open to people and to trade.
Aviation enables globalization. Since 1990, on average, globalization has lifted 130,000 (6) people a day from poverty. The more people connect through flying, the greater the benefits to all the people of this world.That's an important message for governments to hear.
Solid financials are also needed for aviation to deliver its best.
As an industry, airlines have been in the black since 2010 (7). And since 2015 (8), returns to shareholders have exceeded their aggregate cost of capital.
The performance is not uniform. Some regions continue to struggle. But our sustained normal financial performance is a major shift from the boom and mostly bust cycles of the past.
2019 will see airlines make a $28 billion profit (9)— that's $6.12 (10) per passenger. It's a solid profit under challenging conditions. Passenger demand is robust. But trade wars and protectionist measures are taking their toll on the cargo business. And rising costs for fuel, labor and infrastructure are squeezing margins.Returns will still exceed the cost of capital, but only just. And the industry's 3.2% (11) net margin is modest and fragile compared to the margins of 20% (12) or more that Apple and Google regularly enjoy.
Looking to the future, the outlook is optimistic. Demand is forecast to double over the next two decades. With the cost of travel 40% (13) lower than a decade ago, the freedom to fly is reaching more people than ever. Aviation today is far from being an industry for the rich. The developing markets are expected to provide the majority of additional passenger demand. India and China alone are forecast to account for around 45% (14) of all additional passenger trips over the next two decades. Even more than today, the travelers of the future will come from all walks of life and economic means.
Meeting Demand
Meeting the demands of the future will test our industry's capabilities.
These issues need action today to be ready for the future.
And, as an industry built on global standards, that action must be coordinated among stakeholders and across geographies.
Let's start with infrastructure—the physical platform to spread aviation's benefits. Our requirements for airport and air traffic management are not complicated:
We are far from that today.
European air traffic management shortcomings illustrate the problem. In 2018 aircraft flying in Europe experienced 19.1 million (15) minutes of en-route delays. That's 36 years of wasted time that unnecessarily added 5.6% to our European carbon footprint. The prime causes are inadequate capacity and staff rostering. These are fixable. And that makes poor performance all the more disappointing.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated example. Air traffic bottlenecks are found in China, the US, the Gulf and elsewhere.
On the airport side, Mexico City (16) is the poster child for deficiencies. We were midway through the construction of a solution for the city's infamously congested airport. Then the newly-elected government pulled the plug with no viable alternative.
Critically congested airports are spread the world over. Sao Paolo, New York, London, Amsterdam, Mumbai, Bangkok and Sydney are all examples of airport bottlenecks due to capacity constraints—both real and artificial.
There is some good news. Some governments do understand the importance of infrastructure:

Imagine H2O recently announced the 10 finalists from more than 90 worldwide entrants to its Water Data Challenge. The 10 companies have already achieved a milestone in that they are entered into Imagine H2O's Accelerator Program, which supports burgeoning startups in a mutual quest to bring much-needed, high-impact technologies to the water sector. In particular, data and analytics is becoming an increasingly vital component for water and wastewater management.
"It will be impossible to tackle the global water challenge without basic data about our water resources," asserts Imagine H2O's VP of Programming Tom Ferguson.
While Imagine H2O will name a single overall winner in March, all of the finalists have technologies with disruptive potential, or the ability to replace the status quo, and are thus worthy of attention.
Here's a brief overview of each company and what they offer, aided by input from Ferguson and cohorts at Imagine H2O.
Specializing in heavy metals monitoring, ANDalyze has developed an EPA-approved, handheld DNA sensor that runs samples in just two minutes and can measure trace metals (such as lead) to parts per billion. According to the company, testing can be done at the "push of a button … in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional heavy metals testing methods." An automated monitoring system is in development, with organic chemical detection potentially on the horizon.
As drought and water scarcity issues trend alongside global industrialization and population growth, a water-conservation imperative emerges. With APANA's real-time water management solution, commercial and industrial facilities can immediately pinpoint water waste, whether it's through bad business practices (misuse) or structural/mechanical failures (e.g., pipe leaks). The 'complete solution' is a package of propriety technology, analytics, and software that, according to APANA, saves customers an average of 20 percent on annual water/sewer costs and typically provides return on investment (ROI) within 18 months.
Any water system can be transformed into a smart, cyber-secure water system with Wavelet from Ayyeka, which offers modular, plug-and-play, remote monitoring to promote optimization and resource efficiency. Wide-ranging capability would seem to be another selling point, as the small, energy-efficient monitoring devices can analyze and communicate water/equipment conditions for virtually any water application.
Ceres Imaging caters to the agricultural sector, enabling more efficient (and environmentally-friendly) use of water and nitrogen by providing data via spectral imaging processing — pulled off by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Ceres Imaging's business model is data as a service, whereby data is provided periodically for recurring revenue, delivered over the cloud. At current, over 100,000 acres in California and Australia are benefiting from the service.
Water and food are inextricably linked, and both require an influx of supply-side innovation to remain sustainable in terms of production and environmental impact — a reality evident in Imagine H2O's selection of finalists. FarmX does its part by helping farmers save time and resources through FarmMap, which utilizes instrumentation technology, cloud-based data collection, and real-time analytics to drive precise farming recommendations. Critical soil, plant, and environmental variables are measured by proprietary sensors and interpreted by state-of-the-art machine learning processes, arming farmers with actionable intelligence to increase production and reduced costs.
In this age of smart-phone connectivity and consumer-savviness, it only makes sense that water customers should have household water-consumption data at their fingertips. FLUID brings this capability to the fore easily and elegantly, without the need for a municipal AMI network or utility involvement whatsoever. A simple metering device latches to the water service line — no tools required — to monitor and "learn" water use. It itemizes consumption data for fixtures and appliance, and gives alerts for "erratic" water use and leaks.
If you're a farmer in the tropics reading this, you're in Ignitia's demographic. With standard weather forecasting historically unreliable in tropical regions, Ignitia developed a new methodology based on atmospheric modeling rather than differences in pressure or temperature. Results are then delivered to customers at chosen intervals via SMS (text) messaging. In a trial conducted in Ghana, forecast accuracy rate was measured at 82 percent, compared to the 39 percent for the existing standard. As small-scale farmers in the tropics know, such reliability greatly enhances informed decision-making, efficiency, and crop yields.
"Environmental Compliance Made Easy" states Mapistry's website, while the analogy shared by Imagine H2O's Ferguson was that "Mapistry is TurboTax for environmental compliance." How so? At the enterprise or single-facility level, the program streamlines compliance with environmental regulations and saves money for clients by eliminating the need for consultants. This is achieved through the development of a customized, mobile-friendly platform containing all the needed information and resources to stay organized, accountable, and compliant. Right now, the focus is on stormwater regulations — apparently a $600 million revenue opportunity for Mapistry. Platforms for more regulations are sure to follow.
NJBSoft provides software asset management (SAM) solutions for compliance management, water quality data management, asset management, training, and a range of custom needs. Local requirements for utility compliance are built into programs such as SAMSWater, SAMSWastewater, SAMSIndustrial, SAMSStormwater, and SAMSWaterOptimization — in short, the whole water gamut. Capabilities stretch beyond just water, however, with programs designed for various tasks inherent to civil, environmental, and municipal engineering.
Sourcewater has created the first online exchange for trading and recycling water, as well as for hiring services such as trucking, treatment, storage, and disposal. It was created with the unconventional oil and gas (e.g., hydraulic fracturing) market in mind, but is useful for others connected to water, including water utilities. For instance, wastewater plants with spare capacity can sell their services and the treated water. For energy companies, the marketplace reduces operating costs and helps allay water supply concerns. Just as importantly, Sourcewater transactions can reduce the environmental and community impacts of energy production.
The Water Data Challenge is among a number of programs initiated by Imagine H2O — a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization — to accelerate innovation and entrepreneurship in the water space. The Challenge awards $50,000 in cash and entry into the Imagine H2O Accelerator program, which offers introductions to leading investors, utility partners, and beta customers, as well as visibility at the largest industry conferences and tradeshows.

3 Catalysts to an Awakening Experience
It is rare for intense periods of spiritual awakening to occur in isolation. When you examine significant periods in someone's life to see when their level of awakening has shifted radically, you can often pinpoint a series of catalysts to an awakening, or events that drove that awakening to come to fruition.
Today, we're going to look at the 3 catalysts to an awakening experience. They will help you determine whether a deeper level of experience is in your immediate future, as well as the meaning of past events in the context of your life journey.
Common catalysts to an awakening experience
The three most common catalysts that drive awakening experiences include
- ecstatic experiences,
- meditative experiences, and
- traumatic experiences.
Knowledge of these catalysts to an awakening helps you choose daily habits that drive towards positive spiritual change. They'll help you make sense of traumatic issues that may have a deeper meaning when examined in hindsight.
Learn how to awaken your greatness
An ecstatic experience
Ecstatic experiences represent a class of catalysts that we humans generally exercise control over. These catalysts enable you to choose to enter them should you wish to reach a higher level of consciousness.
The most common ecstatic experiences include fasting, sleep deprivation, spiritual journeys, drugs, breathing exercises, the application of pain or discomfort, dancing, and any other activity that alters the human mind or body in a way that forces it out of homeostasis.
Homeostasis refers to the natural balance our bodies fight for every single day and includes essential things such as our blood pressure, core body temperature, metabolic rate, energy supplies, among others. While these things may drive us towards awakening, not all of the methods justify the end result.
With your body in a heightened condition, the result is often an awakening experience where a deep truth is understood. However, this isn't the case all the time, which is why this method should be used with absolute caution.
Learn about an amazing crystal to create change in your life
A deep meditative state
Meditation has been proven for centuries to be a key driver of awakening experiences, which is the reason why the practice is still so common today.
Compared to ecstatic experiences, the meditative experience is a higher quality, less stressed driver of awakening, which is why it is the preferred choice for those wishing to obtain a higher level of quality consciousness.
When we are still on the inside, we begin to tap into the universal flow of energy, as well as discover truths about ourselves as well as the world and our part in it.
Meditation only requires a calm mind in a quiet environment, but that is debatable as some people claim they can meditate regardless of their environment. Through our twenty-minute practice you can experience the power of guided meditation. Practitioners of meditation have been known to have somewhat spontaneous experiences, when they have suddenly been overcome by a wash of calm realization. That shows that an awakening experience can occur at any moment should you be in tune with your inner calm.
The simple appreciation of our bodies, our world and their offerings, assist in reaching greater levels of meditation. This can include the happiness of a stroll through nature, contact with animals, the pleasure of sex, exposure to beautiful quality music, or even gazing upon stunning artworks.
When we open ourselves up to the energies contained in these areas, we allow ourselves to go deeper into an appreciative state, which is conducive to the experience of awakening.
9 signs you are being guided toward a soulful life
Significant trauma
Nobody wishes for traumatic events to occur in their lives, but these kinds of events do appear from time to time. They are best viewed as great teachers on the path to spiritual awakening.
Traumatic experiences lead people to feel a significant degree of mental distress. Distress causes them, or forces them, to rethink their worldview, their beliefs, and their relationship with themselves and others.
While this process can be stressful, it teaches us that nothing that comes into our world is ours to own. The most traumatic experience of all is possible the concept of loss. While it's unfortunate, it is true that there is nothing in this life that we can truly possess.
Through this, our ego is dealt a significant wound as we contemplate our mortality and the meaning of our existence. Some people succumb to trauma's effects, but most people come through traumatic experiences with a significantly deep awakening. The experience forces them to conceive of life in a more simple and meaningful way.
Learn how to heal your birth story
What is your perspective when dealing with catalysts to an awakening?
If you are dealing with a difficult situation now, it is possible that a brighter future awaits you. Put the difficulty into perspective after you have gone through the process to understand better.
Overall, the three catalysts to an awakening are essential on the pathway to a deeper understanding of your life in the context of our existence. Which catalysts have occurred in your past? Which catalysts do you think are working on you right now? How can you harness these catalysts for yourself to reach a higher level of experience?

As you know I am a big fan of the business model canvas. It's a super flexible tool. It can be used to design your business model. It can also be used to stress test and analyse how well your business model is working. Think of it as a complete company strength audit in 40 questions. Without further ado here's how to test your business model. (if you haven't created a business model canvas yet – go here!)
What we have is a few questions for each segment of the business model canvas. The best way to test your business model is to have your latest iteration in front of you and look at each section in turn. For each question consider both the positive and negative side. So for example – if we look at the first question
How well do your value propositions align with customer needs?
Are they well aligned or poorly aligned? Are some value propositions better aligned than others? When I do this exercise with customers in a workshop we consider each value proposition in turn. Sometimes it becomes clear that there is a great deal of meat waiting to be discussed.
What we are doing at this initial stage is identifying the areas of the business model where you think you have problems. We're doing it in a structured way. At this stage the point is to identify issues, then return and discuss them in more depth. If you schedule 5 minutes per question you can easily hit 2 1/2 hours which is exhausting for everyone.
An alternative approach is to put the questions into a Likert Scale and then have all key stakeholders fill that out as a questionnaire pre-workshop. If done like that the workshop can spend it's time diving deep into the areas where the management team's views differ rather than thinking too much about areas where there is consensus (unless there is a need to challenge)
Value Judgements
One risk with this approach is that it's possible to make value judgements about some of the questions
Do you have synergies between your products and services?
You may have a presumption that synergies are a good thing and want to answer – yes – of course. The answers aren't objectively true. They are useful only as they are relevant to your business model. So when you test your business model it may be entirely appropriate that your products and services have no synergies. That is ok. Many diversified conglomerates in India have no synergies for example but there are great, non-synergistic reasons why their business models are successful.
What is important is that you use the questions as a trigger to reassess the health of your company. You can then use the answers to help you form the basis of a revised and more effective strategy.
How to Test your Business model
Answer each question with a score between +5 and -5. If appropriate write a single sentence answer
Value Proposition
- How well are your value propositions aligned to customer needs?
- How strong are the network effects of your value propositions?
- Do you have synergies between your products and services?
- How satisfied are your customers?
- How strong are your margins?
- How predictable are your revenues?
- How much of your revenue is recurring?
- Do customer repurchase frequently?
- How diversified are your revenue streams?
- How sustainable are your revenue streams?
- Do costs come before revenue or vice versa?
- How much of what customers are willing to pay for do you charge for?
- How much money does your pricing leave on the table?
- How predictable are your costs?
- How well does your cost structure match your business model?
- How cost efficient are your operations?
- How much do you benefit from economies of scale?
- How many of your key resources are unique and can't be replicated by competitors?
- How predictable are your resource requirements?
- How easy is it for you to have your key resources in the right place at the right time?
Key Activities
- How efficient are you are doing your key activities?
- How easy are your key activities to copy?
- How good are you at execution?
- How well have you balanced in house vs outsourced delivery of key activities?
- How well do you work with your key partners?
- Do you have enough key partners?
- How high are your customer churn rates?
- How well segmented is your customer base?
- How well do you acquire new customers?
Marketing & Distribution Channels
- How efficient are your channels at acquiring new leads?
- How effective are your channels in converting new leads?
- How well do your channels reach your target customers?
- How easy is it for target customers to find your channels?
- How well are your channels integrated?
- How strong are the economies of scope in your channels?
- How well do your channels match your customers preferred channels?
Customer Relationships
- How strong are your customer relationships?
- How well does relationship quality match the requirements of customers?
- How easy is it for customers to switch
- How strong is your brand?
The outcome of this test of your business model is that you have completed a quick and systematic strategic review. You will have identified a number of areas of the model where you feel that you are weak, or where there is possibility for improvement. This is one of the ways that you can use the business model canvas to become more competitive
The next step is to decide what you need to change and how you need to do it
If you'd like me to help you test your business model or planning a workshop please reachout. I also have an excel version which I am happy to share. Do send me an email.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Colebrook
Imposing suburban inn, with a bold but appealing brick façade. As an Ember Inn, the partially opened-out interior has a mixture of seating / dining areas, all with tidy, semi-modern furniture and generally light decor. There are a number of wooden tables out front plus a fair-sized beer garden on the low patio terrace at the back. I found five real ales - Ember (Black Sheep) Pale (£3.00), Sharp's Atlantic, London Pride, Tribute and Purity Pure UBU - and Old Rosie cider available from the two banks of five handpumps.

Bucking Fastard left this review about Colebrook Inn
The building is so typical of the large road houses built by Midland breweries in the 1930,these days it's part of the Ember Inn chain and has recently had an extensive refurb.The front entrance opens onto the main serving bar ,L shaped and running along the rear wall.This supports two banks of five real ale handpumps and as my visit was on the first day of the refurb ,best attention had been paid to the ale range offering CW Bombardier,Brakspears Bitter,Ember Inns Pale (brewed by Black Sheep),Milestone Lion's Pride,Moorhouses Black Cat Reserve,Ilkley Mary Jane,Purity UBU,Sambrooks Session and a decent Dorset Brewing Citrus Maximus (£3.25).Pint pricing started at £2.70 with various price points up to £3.50 so there are some value options but often from low ABV brews.There are two wings to the interior either side of the bar in various different section nicely broken up so you dont feel like drinking in a barn,and there is a mix of furniture with some sofas,quite a few banquettes and more dining type tables.Decor was smart but still had a corporate feel .There are benches outside to the front and a rear beer terrace with views over the next door bowling green.
Although food is served,Ember are careful this doesn't detract from a drinking atmosphere so all tables are numbered but there is no formal dining area.Likewise this also means there is no dedicated drinkers area and children will be evident throughout the interior.Given the pub was rammed on the Friday evening reopening,drinking was the order of the dasy,although I expect the atmosphere would be less pubby during the week and a weekend lunchtimes.The only flatscreen I could see was in the section to the right of the bar but this was only screening BBC News 24 ,so you wont get the footie crowd in here.
I hope ,after the initial hype has died down,Ember decide to maintain a decent range of real ale in here as this is was a decent place to drink in an area not noted for solid real ale pubs.A bit of a walk from the Stratford Canal at the Drawbridge,but probably worth it.

My wife and I went here for a pub lunch,very nice clean interior with polite and friendly staff.The food was excellent.Although prior to the meal when we were brought our cutlery,it was dirty and still had dried food stuck to it.Not a great start.The young lad we told couldnt have been more apologetic.We probably would go back again.Just check your knives and forks before eating.

If you are planning to borrow cash and return back a fixed amount monthly, you can have personal loan option. Here is what exactly you have to keep in your mind before borrow money. As well as to make sure you get an ideal offer for you.
What is a personal loan?
Personal loans are generally funding that a bank, as well as another loan provider, makes which are not secure towards any kind of resource, for example, your house.
This type of loans also called unsecured loans.
Personal loans advantages
- You can borrow more money if you have a credit card.
- You will pay back money with a fixed amount every month, which can be easy for you to manage your budget.
- The personal loan interest rates are normally fixed (Not every time, You have to check it is variable or fixed).
- It's up to you how long you would like to pay back the loan. Remember that the length of the loan will impact on interest rates.
- A personal loan can combine with many debts to reduce the monthly repayment installment costs.
To make repayments it is in your control that you can pay full or in parts, However, anytime prior to the end of the contract without having a penalty.
But, if you pay back more than £8,000 during 12 months period the loan provider may give compensation.
Personal loans disadvantages
- Personal loans have big interest rates than other types of loans, especially if you are borrowing a small amount of loan.
- For the reason that the interest level may reduce the more you lend, you may be tempted to get a big amount that you require.
- The majority of the banks did not approve loan less than £1,000 or for less than 12 months period. So maybe you will borrow money more than you need, or you can afford the interest rate.

Nichts funktioniert mehr in Albanien und speziell der Hafen von Durres geht im Chaos unter der kriminellen Elemente.
Weil viele Leute ab dem 15. September nach der Vereidigung der neuen Regierung ihre Mafia Jobs verlieren, bereichern sie sich noch schnell durch jede Art von Schmuggel und niederreisen der Zoll Barrieren. Hintergrund sind langjährige Skandale beim Zoll, welche seit Jahren von den bekannten Politischen Mafia Strukturen besetzt sind.
Port in chaos, traffics and smugglings reappear
The absence of full-functioning of state and its structures has extremely enliven not only criminal segments, but also trafficking and smuggling nets, Durres Port, where enter around 75 percent of imports and exports for the economy, turned out to be their main gate for their business in Albania.On its appearance, starting from the outside wall up to quays and ferries disembarking-square, Durres Port leaves the impression of a sort of tranquillity, which it is not real and touchable at all, because according to state employees, police forces, custom agents as well as those who lurk to impede the penetration of any illegal truck, everything breaks down either when ferries disembark, or in front of Ports gates while people try to embark, you encounter smuggling and trafficking elements. In Durres Port you see people in uniforms, which seem very scared thinking that they might loose the job after September 15. According to an agent of the custom, the work has started drowsing, the immigrants flux, which is decreasing lately, has favoured the illegal trafficking of immigrants, human beings and smuggling. It has rarely occurred that any of my colleagues confronts any tough guy, and this is happening because they feared and they do not want to have conflicts with them because no one knows what is going to happen after the coming government starts its work. You can notice the fear and the drowsing also in blue uniforms, ferries controllers and police agents of Ports police station. The specialists of anti-contraband and police forces described these two months, more than ever, as the golden time for trafficking and smuggling nets. This situation will transmit negative reflections in the coming months, where the balance sheets of CAM-Albania and General Directory of Albanian Customs have scandalous deficiencies. The inexistence of the state, enforcement of public order, laws government decisions, missing of crucial elements of executives functioning up to lower levels of governing like customs, tax offices and police is enabling chaos and serious difficulties that resemble similar with 1997, which appear dangerous rather than tranquil. Non-functioning of state structures, neglecting their mission in implementing the laws removed Durres Port from the lines of a normal functioning endangering not only foreign investments, but also degrading it and putting it into an economical collapse and in the claws of contraband and traffics. This Port is often been labelled as the Albanian gate of traffics and contraband with political support.
