It was a good blog post and some readers really appreciated it, but I realized that there is a step, a precursor to how to master a subject. If you are investing the time to master a subject, it makes sense that you choose an area that you have an interest in as well as an affinity for. If you do not already know what your interests are, or if you want to test what you think, the first step in this process is to conduct a Personal SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats). Personal SWOT Analysis Answering the questions in the above table creates an inventory of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, which will determine possible areas to achieve mastery in.

Over $68,000. THAT is the power of having a great credit score. They do this because lattes and coupons are obvious and top-of-mind.

The Survival Monkey Fabriquer soi-même son gaz naturel Si le principe de méthanisation de la matière organique est connu et déjà employé pour produire du gaz à partir de toutes sortes de résidus, c’est la première fois en revanche qu’une invention permet de l’appliquer facilement à petite échelle, pour un investissement dérisoire. Pratique, bon marché et surtout écologique, le biodigesteur de Camilo Pagés est un dispositif capable de “digérer” la matière organique pour produire du gaz naturel grâce à des bactéries anaérobies (qui se développent dans des milieux privés d’oxygène). Ce jeune chercheur mexicain a eu l’idée d’utiliser une poche en plastique allongée de plusieurs mètres de long fonctionnant comme un tunnel. Les déchets sont introduits à une extrémité et parcourent lentement le sac pour se transformer en engrais, tout en libérant du biogaz. Celui-ci est récupéré grâce à un tuyau, pour être stocké dans une autre poche placée en hauteur qui servira par exemple à alimenter une cuisinière, un radiateur, ou encore un groupe électrogène.

How Strava Is Changing the Way We Ride - Page 6 | Biking Fitness Plans and Advice Strava CEO Michael Horvath. Cyclocross pro Tim Johnson. A few winters ago 35-year-old Massachusetts cyclist Tim Johnson, one of the country’s top cyclocross pros, was holed up in the Santa Monica Mountains near Malibu, training on the area’s labyrinthine network of canyon roads. He was staying at the house of Ben Bostrom, 38, a champion motorcycle racer and accomplished road cyclist. “It was pissing rain and cold,” he says. For the uninitiated, KOM is short for “king of the mountain.” And so, back in Bostrom’s kitchen, Johnson was suggesting that Latigo Canyon—Bostrom’s canyon—was no longer his. Johnson reloaded the site one last time. It’s not just competitive pros who are taken with Strava, of course: an army of more than a million users are turning their local tarmac into a daily time trial—sometimes bespoiling singletrack etiquette and terrifying casual riders and walkers on multiuse paths—and telling the world about it. This, in essence, is why Strava exists. Fast-forward a decade.
