You love CATs and you like running part 2

The video in part 2 talks about the technology for performance running; adaptive running.PUMA Mobium Elite is a performance trainer that expands and contracts as the foot moves. Rooted in anatomy and inspired by nature, PUMA Mobium Elite is the product of two years intense design and development based on how the foot moves.  Considering that the foot expands in three directions, longitudinally, laterally and vertically, PUMA's innovative footwear adapts with the body in motion, encouraging a more natural and efficient mid-foot strike.

Louis Joseph, Director Strategy and Innovation discusses the technological innovation behind PUMA Mobium:  "PUMA's sport innovations have always focused on provocative, risk-taking ideas aimed at enhancing the athlete experience.  In the case of the Mobium Elite, PUMA has combined performance research with imagination to produce an entirely new class of running footwear. Developed with the vision of creating dynamic products that move with the human body in motion, the Mobium Elite represents the premier model within PUMA's new Adaptive Running collection.  Designed to expand and contract with the foot's changing shape during the gait cycle, the Mobium Elite is a first generation concept built to challenge the conventional standard of static footwear construction. Incorporating a host of patent pending technologies, we are excited by the prospects of the Mobium Elite trainer and believe that Adaptive Running is a breakthrough proposition with transformational potential."

PUMA Mobium Elite's Mobium Band is constructed to enhance the foot's natural spring.  Running through the outsole in a "figure eight" it's designed to work dynamically like the tendons in the foot.  The more force applied, the more spring it returns. Runners check them out.

Run for life Brooks Mach 13 Spikeless

These shoes are the spikeless version. Ultra light, Ultra minimalistic which provides amazing fit and performance. The Mach 13 provides exceptional traction. It's for neutral pronating feet and personally i felt it's for intervals training and sprint actions at stadium tracks however Brooks mentioned that they are for trail blaze running. I felt that a 3km - 5km short distance run would be more appropriate. The overall built and design is fabulous, i would use them for training the un-use sprinting muscles on the calves and the quadriceps for endurance enhancement. So grab them while they last, the speed dragon. And, yes, you’d better be fast to rock these kicks.
Recommend for:
Neutral Feet
Minimalistic running
bold design, bright colors
Light weight, breathable

PS. i attached a cool motivation picture for running for life!

Success : A simple life well lived

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and affection of children; to learn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of
false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in
others; to leave the world a little bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bang for Bucks:
If you would like to turn your first/ second gen LCD Tvs into a Smart Tv at a low cost. This is it! The device at low cost and packs a punch. The Minix Neo G4 is a mini PC, a fully functional computer. Why waste $500 bucks or 1k if your needs are only for surfing net and playing simple games. Turn your 32 inch TV into a full functional interactive media player.

The Minix comes only with one USB port, but that is no problem as long as you get a powered USB hub. Minix uses the Android operating system. Folks who have Android phones will be right at home navigating around and using apps, etc. You can surf the net, download apps, watch tv, play games and perhaps do your spreadsheet all at the same time.

For USD $70 (Amazon) it draws much less power compare to a T Rex Desktop. It uses an operating system that you are already comfortable with.( at this technological age, any OS is no longer complicated, remember DOS) and let you use your existing smartphone apps, and yet has the advantage of a full size screen and keyboard. Nuff said.

Puzzle of Motivation

Scientific findings often conflict with business dealing whereas you use to think that incentives are the best form of reward to motivate employees. This is what most people think or most people believed in. Dan Pink take a closer look at the benefits of intrinsic motivation, the old ways of doing things doesn't work anymore. In local context(spore), we see this happening everywhere in any industry, on most companies. Often at times you see middle management chasing revenues on the frontline with little effect and detrimental in the long term.

The Dunce of FAS

Appalled and "Con-fuzzled" with FAS decision on the appointment of Raddy on today's New paper. I wonder if FAS has got the same foreign workers and immigration policy as the government since they are interlink with the sports council. I sympathize with Fandi Ahmad and Terry Pathmanathan as it does reflect the bureaucratic and the incompetence of the organization. In this instance meritocracy is such an overrate commodity that i find the argument to have a foreign coach compelling dumbfounded.
An admirer of Fandi for all he is skilled at and known for, he had proven his credentials exceeding expectations on the field and work hard for his coaching badges. I am not against foreign coaches with big time credentials but foreign coaches with a name like Radojko Avramovic, a name as long as to a certain Jose Murinho are difficult to accept for just winning Suzuki Cups. You bring in a highly paid substitute from overseas to alleviate the quality of local soccer, not to win Mickey Mouse cups and confuse and alienate the soccer fans with delusional "talk cock" session. Who is Radojko? who in the world of football recognize the credentials of Raddy? Before his appointment as the national coach, i have never heard nor seen him as a player nor heard of him as a famous coach in asia. Perhaps he like many foreigners just paint a superbly numerically CV showing the number of mickey mouse cup he won in SE.asia.
Let's just say even if i am proven wrong, the fact remains the same. The country don't need an expat to win Suzuki Cups and SEA game trophies, PN Savaji can do that. I wonder what kind of KPI they set in FAS, perhaps they have too many bureaucratic layers and countless of redundant meetings to attend. That's why they took so long to make a good offer to Fandi and Path. Instead they are swift to offer $35,000 to Raddy and that's for winning Tom & Jerry's cup. Could you blame them? well i can only say there is no fire without smoke. The fear of risking their reputation if the job was given to a local just show the narrow-mindedness of the organization. If accountability was as efficient, i think FAS have failed miserably over the years with the S-league and overweight foreign players. Last but not least, let me solve your problem, get PN Savaji for $10,000 and he can win you loads of Mickey Mouse Cups, at least it solve the patriotic side of things.
