Wishing all a great 2016 going ahead & a great holiday season. Every once in a while all people reflect on what is happening is right or wrong - many times people must correct the course being taken to become better people one will always be able to https://www.enjoy.com/ and laze around - that said I read about a new concept being tried out in New Zealand called TimeBank - http://www.lyttelton.net.nz/ the only currency is time.Now think of time being spent productively to make the difference locally,globally & for that matter even in space (yes people are there in space stations).

The fact is one must be able to provide for family,friends & contribute back to the society - the recent floods in Chennai,Cuddalore & a other extreme events remind all of us that we are not alone.More investment is a must in basic necessities like food,water,sanitation,energy,efficiency of use & yet the most basic stuff is forgotten - most are abusive to elders,many are unemployed (underemployed what ever) and there is absolutely no hope as investment is just not happening for a variety of reasons.

Yet there is hope as a New deal in Paris has taken shape & the n we hear Nairobi talks are a disaster for developing countries & sustainable development goals - even armed conflict among countries & local populations is just not reducing for a variety of reasons - all this is just not helping the world economy. Then comes the big announcement about Open AI and then the super achievement by SpaceX now. There are many open projects & the bar is advancing with every moment https://www.openproject.org

There is always talk about robots, drones a great project is https://www.dronesforgood.ae/ - I have just returned a few days ago from UAE after attending https://www.thebig5.ae - I am looking for projects and/or work was able to connect with truly amazing firms like SABIC, Borouge Henkel and other construction majors in Middle east. 

That is all for now - hope this blog gets noticed & the info used!

People really want to do good positive work that benefits everybody - it is a legitimate desire to earn & do even more good - today there are plenty of good opportunities to invest - that said people just do not want to take any risk at all - to such people the only advise to give them is "taking no risk is the worst as one never really gets out of the muck - the situation always remains the same & more often than not deteriororates even further - becomes worse & everytime time the most valuable commodity is lost,resources - physical goods, good thoughts & ideas are lost, opportunities to provide services,software & streamline deliveries of critical results - everything in a nutshell is lost. What is worse is even lives and useful results get wasted - what is the use of acting after an event - the only way forward is to then act so that the mistakes are not repeated ever again. Today lots of water,energy,time & resources can be saved &/or used better for spectacular results.

There are opportunities in many countries http://opportunity.org

Solar water pumps exist today,hybrid solutions for energy (solar+wind+small hydro) for agriculture, vertical farming is also doing the rounds,many innovative people are growing vegetables in rooftop gardens in cities, ICAR,FAO,IRRI, are 3 wonderful organizations doing amazing work in agriculture - that said some of the work must done with help of private companies.

Many opportunities exist today. All of us must go get these opportunities and take risks - doing nothing just wastes time!

Water - Businesses,people,waste & energy a few thoughts

I want to first submit that I keep reading many things on the internet,magazines (both trade & general magazines) & many people share info with me some of which I use & most of it is shared in some way or the other on Social Media and or the internet or this blog - the idea is to help one & all take local action at the least cost for a beneficial impact.

A few links are shared which lead to other firms or bodies that enable you to learn further & act when necessary.

I want to share some more ideas about "Water" - "Businesses", utilities, nonprofits,governments & people in general. The idea is to really make all of us CARE a lot more about water - its source,preventing contamination of the source, purification of dirty water & its recycling,reuse and recovery of nutrients from that water - lastly I am trying to out line why it is more important than ever NOW.

It is critical to take the "LEAD" NOW!. Anyone will be able to lead when one:

L-Learns
E-Empowers
A-Acts
D-Distributes

Sales and getting ahead of the competition comes by Sharing of ideas with a few influential people in firms, governments and nonprofits.

Coming to water now - many businesses,utilities,nonprofitd & people care a lot more about water - a few reasons are shared here.

Everybodys, every things & every living creatures existence depends on water directly or indirectly. Even more importantly Businesses,governments stability & their ability to manage land,biodiversity,water,utilities and their survival depends on water - a general rule is one feels very dirty if water is not provided at affordable costs.

There was & to an extent is little concern about water & the masses that said it is changing for the better among most people - the imminent threat is there is water level rise in many countries,a threat of flood is there and as of now today almost 700 Million + people in over 20 countries threatened by water & even more importantly influential people not doing much for them exist - many stinking rich people & companies are becoming richer by evading taxes & stashing the gains in tax havens.

For water the 2 biggest reasons & yet other important reasons why it is not available are:

1. Evaporation
2. Leakages
3. A lack of power for pumping water & a lack of water itself
4. Contamination
5. Distribution capabilities 

The first impact of such a situation is felt by businesses - large & small and the next impact is on government collection of taxes (direct and/or indirect). People want to become better citizens and are unable to for a lack of water & energy as their energies are sapped up worrying for families & their own survival,relevance and most start doubting their efforts,the results - that said the recompense for doing good work is nothing but glad tidings - just be patient & be rewarded for patience.

The way out of the mess is ordinary folks must work more with each other in good spirit and evaluate all ideas. This strengthens local business & government both & leads to lesser crime - benefits are better long term results that benefit one & all.To sum up benefits are:

1. Local residents,workers,nonprofits and most importantly are empowered - eg http://www.nextdrop.org/waterstory/  people know when water will be available next
    time.
2. Know how much ground water is available in that area. Prepare for capture of rain water & use even waste water!
3. Evaporation,soil erosion & leaks are minimized by say using Solar power on top of Canals,soil erosion by suitable polymer films,evaporation by say use of shade balls!
4. Accurately measure & distribute water for all. Stick on water meters are or will be available.
5.  Consumption & conservation efforts by different sectors must be highlighted for others to use - eg there is new tech that uses sound to suppress fires in certain cases!

 When people have more cash on hand & are literally not forced to pay very high rates for basic water - a certain section of people call them the silent minority who make the difference by paying taxes on time,ensure cordial relations with neighbors & government officials only then they stay other wise many such people move elsewhere for a better life. No city or village wants to lose such a backbone.

That is why there is a very strong case for Big businesses to give back more,governments also have to facilitate a lot more & not harass citizens - there is a genuine need to take care of water stress,energy shortage & use water a lot better.

Just remember almost everything depends on water directly or indirectly and all gadgets + people working together gives meaningful results a lot faster - a great eg of such an effort is http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/c4cw/overview.do

Hope this guides at least a few big businesses & influential people to do more for water stress alleviation and limiting water level rise & sustainable everything - COP 21 talks is an awesome opportunity - let us all act together!NOW!

Become awesome ....

Become awesome at work,earn,learn & spread joy - get more followers - Some very useful tips on food & water with some relevant links!

1. Drink enough water - you have heard & read enough about the importance of drinking water - now know when thirst will start to drain you & act to replenish the water in your body please see www.hidrate.me 
2. Green tea during snack hours - for a few people green tea or coffee works like magic - include including such breaks rejuvenates people - for many the point is doing something which gives global benefits & yet the start is small - the drink can be coffee & the snack can be eating biscuits made with Coffee Flour read more at http://www.coffeeflour.com
3. Almonds,honey,pomegranates &  oranges are amazing these really benefit & give most antioxidants our body needs.
4. Breakfast is increases metabolism - jumpstart the day with antioxidants in breakfast - antioxidants help with weight loss, to improve quality of sleep, give some allergy relief, increase energy, and lots more & here is the simple definition of an "antioxidant" - it is a compound that fights oxidation and helps block cellular damage from free radicals.
5. Get sunshine - the morning sun is most beneficial - that said over exposure to sun may cause melanoma - be aware & keep checking for signs of Melanoma - a great website to know about skin cancer is https://www.skinvision.com - just take a snap with a smartphone & send it to doctors you trust!

9. Switch to brown rice - for some people brown rice works - helps in the control of diabetes & cholesterol.
10. Add your own interesting tips !

Water,loans and simplfy lives by doing more

Doing more cleanly literally transforms life by making it easier to do work and measure results-simple same language subtitling in TV and/or any display increases literacy globally and enables faster learning of multiple languages-the same message translated into different languages enables entering new markets for the same products.Access to clean water transforms lives- people spend 40 billion hours every year walking for water. Women and children usually bear the burden of water collection, walking miles to the nearest source, which is unprotected and likely contaminated.
Time spent walking and resulting diseases keep them from school, work and taking care of their families. With safe water nearby, women are free to pursue new opportunities and improve their families’ lives. Clean water transforms lives, communities and generations — and at a surprisingly low cost.New services like Kiva (see http://www.kiva.org/) and microfinance will be able to empower people to participate in projects that provide clear drinking water like http://hundredpump.doutreach.org/ to common people. Water is an answer to many a prayer globally and so is exposure to opportunities to provide water,energy affordably and in general spreading good work to many people who do not have-the other most important thing that happens in the process that some cynics convert and this provides even more opportunities to people.More later.

A few lessons in customer service.

Always be nice.
Tell how you will benefit the client and proceed to do the same in the shortest possible time.
Contribute back to society in what ever way possible.
Waste no time and try to do more when ever free.
Use more technology and make it convenient for people to do business.
Facilitate meetings and reward outcomes.
Keep yourself mobile as when necessary-means the tires must be properly inflated,vehicle be serviced and in needed a driver be hired. Protect sensitive data from prying eyes and malware.
Keep posting relevant info when ever possible.
Take breaks as and when necessary to be with family and friends.
Reduce pollution globally-ordinary people will bless you for the same.
Always look for opportunities.

Have a happy thanks giving and a holiday season thanks for http://www.blowhorn.net/

One does feel cheated when the truth has not been told. It leads to unnecessary tensions with everyone who is a friend,stranger,partner and costs just keep rising-things being tried just do not work out and everyone brands you stupid,greedy,criminal or worse is everything combined-people become indifferent and just ignore or look the other-that feels the worst.
Yet in spite of everything the hope of creating a better day is what keeps people alive-being able to contribute simple things that really help people become better and that is what creates a better society,place and country-so find your true friends,helpers and keep contributing,learning,teaching and smiling-that is what keeps hopes alive and leads to more positive results.To create changes in everything we see around we want everyone to act-so inspire one and all and hope for the best-the truth comes out and the change you want seen begins from the there-forgive,forget,learn and do more-never give up is what is important-the moment you give up the opportunity is lost forever.
There is still time and hope so get up and start to act.Jaan hai-jahaan hai-where there is life there is hope in the world for all-put yourself together and do more.

Be alert about tech

There are people who search and then there are people who do some homework about topics they are interested in - the type who create alerts and many people benefit from sharing of such useful information.

See www.talkwalker.com and www.google.com/alterts - oops I let out 2 big secrets.Have fund finding about stuff on the internet.

Want to write about waste today. The most irresponsible waste is a waste of ideas, time, inability to introduce people to others who will really help out and a waste of resources (food,energy,water, software,hardware, AI, and everything else that is capable of generating opportunities for people). Visible resources are what is seen-they lead to direct problems like:

1. Solid waste itself-takes up a lot of land.
2. Air pollution - toxic fumes and gases 
3. Water Pollution - presence of heavy metals,organic compounds,oils and polymer products present in water.
4. Acidification of water ruining the sea and marine life.
5. Inhuman conditions in slum areas leading to large scale social unrest.

To reduce waste people must ensure that:

1. Nothing is wasted-new or relevant uses for everything must be found.
2. The area occupied (by the waste) must be minimal- compacting of solid waste is a an answer.
3. Wet and dry waste must be separated.
4. There should not be unnecessary combustion.
5. More public education has to be ensured to spread the word.
6. Polluters pay must be enforced and there must be total accountability for the taxes paid by ordinary citizens.
7. Credit is given to residents,workers and volunteers who are making a difference on the ground.
8. Software must be used to simplify the task and do things faster.

Lastly no time must be wasted in doing these things-once a majority of people decides and buys into this there is no way pollution will not be reduced.

A firm that does Waste Management really well in my opinion is
http://www.wm.com

who says what

People must communicate about their thoughts,ideas,solutions,services and the execution of the same-disinterest leads to death of many a great initiative-must often the masses (ordinary people who are to blame-they are bent,broken,tired,cynical,retired,aloof,lazy,busy,anarchists,overwhelmed,.....,etc)-there is politics every where in almost every area-one must recognize and respond suitably.The best way to negate the politics is very subtly-in a way that gets results and one must be serious-that is the only way forward-most other ways have been tried yes-know of new ones do share with me.
Writing,video,audio,podcasts are still the clearest and most definitive tools for demonstrating expertise on the internet and most are free or cost minimum.Once the content in what ever form is there it can be shared using social media,spoken about by consumers,offerings will invariably lead to clients and the currency is patience or impatience both-one must be patient to get clients and impatient to post and reach out.Amazing content becomes viral in no time and overnight sensations get created almost instantly - that said the amount of effort that goes in creating that type of blockbuster content is amazing and exhaustive in most if not all-for rare cases something just catches on and there is no explanation behind the same.
One must really examine blogging,better use of the internet,promoting safety,help clients and consumers feel secure online,bring out the best from people,suggest ways of getting things done locally,globally,even for space for that matter-today resources are few and problems are overwhelming,decision making is pathetic and just keeps getting postponed by most people type politics and any other vertical and you drown in a deluge of results-most being meaningless as people in power do not act and ordinary do not empower themselves-till people decide enough is enough and rebel-surely enough from among the masses a few rotten hooligans take over and/or are planted and the agitation is broken down-innocents suffer again-the cycle gets repeated.The way forward is stick to one's guns and really unite to forge a way forward-the past cannot and will not be changed-the only way out of this is voluntary admission of guilt and truth and reconciliation will happen-it is the only and best way forward in my opinion.
Life is busy no doubt-simplify it

Nanotechnology - think very small,get the applications,the science,chemistry,physics and customers right and grow really big - the opportunity is there "Nanotech is expected to be at least US $ 1 Trillion as of today".Applications range from medicine,agriculture,devices,packaging,synthetic biology,cooling of laptops,mobiles,transport and what not as of today.
Great initiatives in nanotechnology are a result of clarity in policy,backed by investment from private and government firms.
In nanotech the smallest discovery is sometimes the most important - all depends on how the info is used locally,globally.
Some great work in nanotech is going on in http://www.ibm.com , http://www.ge.com, http://www.dupont.com and all the usual suspects 
Also look at a point of view from EU http://www.nanofutures.info

It is all about applications,discoveries,energy,efficiencies,excitement,engineering,technology and taking things forward from the beauty to the beast (the bad people in nanotech).Choose well solve problems I believe in minimizing hunger,thirst and a lack of energy-more on this later.

Set your dreams afire-a poem on entrepreneurship!

Entrepreneurship sets innermost dreams on fire,

These dreams showcase the truest of desire,

Make companies, organizations and people aspire,

Then moments of truth strike-everything gets separated from the hype,

Most established firms and influential people say you’re just not my type!

The amount of work that goes in is truly a lot more,

A lot of homework and housekeeping must be done before,

One must find an edge, create opportunities and keep oneself ashore,

New ideas or ways to work must be found,

Problems must be solved, minimized and/or gotten around,

The business, technology and execution must be truly sound,

The impact must be global and profound!

 

Hope is always eternal

Opportunities today and yesterday will always be global,

Yet one must also be local,

People must be more vocal!

Be willing to see points of pivots (change),

Even if it means using of robots,

Always give the opportunity the best shots!

Show case the value!

Only then will people say I do!

Never waste time!

That is the biggest crime!

3. Do I ever apologize? Ans: One must start somewhere!
4. Do I complain rather than try to make a situation better? (E.g., “They really need to fix that.”) Ans: Do what ever is needed to change the situation!

Importance of ideas

Ideas are most often the only hope for individuals hoping to be noticed in a party,in a crowd,at a function,presentation or in any gathering globally and perhaps even in space.

Ideas are:

1. Inspiration for an action to take place.
2. Invigorating 
3. Infuriating
4. Impossible to execute at times-be patient there will be way out one must think individually or in groups to achieve a desired result-working with a competitor could be your smartest move yet.
5. Information to absorbed,improved upon and filtered.
6. Reflect the intelligence and the intent of the person and/or mass
7. Share able at the lowest possible costs with the help of technology today
8. Involve a lot of effort to present to an audience (even if it just one person)-the goal is almost always to influence the other person.
9. Influential
10. Important-one must be able to take the next steps going forward.

Always remember people come up with ideas and insights and people are buying and selling almost all the time these days.Even children come up with brilliant ideas-one must just really look around for role models.
Startups (today even many established firms and nonprofits too) are almost always looking for money and people to execute their programs.People hire,partner and fire people and the biggest lesson here is one must find the right person to accomplish a lot more together as individual efforts take one only so far-and then there are the modern day leaders who are doing awesome work all over the world-some examples-Room to read, Ryan's Well,Pay it Forward,Selco Solar, crowdsourcing pioneers,open innovation platforms,open source ideas for almost everything,lower and lower costs of consumer devices and services-cybercafes and the mobile internet is what one needs today.
Voting for ideas too has a place in almost every sector-many have always asked for good ideas to do almost anything from almost everybody these days.A lack of ideas make people,websites,readers,conversations and books boring almost everytime.
Ideas are vital ingredients for almost anything today and are a very powerful source of motivation.All I want to say is get an idea about what you want to do next and hopefully this post will inspire many reader who have the right ideas.Lastly many great ideas are found on
