Client feedback
Our participants found it useful to learn how to embed positivity and use positive examples of success to improve performance. This has helped to shift our organizational leadership culture.
A very useful day. Most matters bottomed out or tackled, with next steps identified.
I have known Eszter for years and she has been instrumental to my professional development. Not only by following her courses and teaching in both CMI and non-CMI classes, but by having appropriate and targeted advice which guided me through my managerial journey. Eszter is extremely approachable and knowledgeable and never failed to encourage me to push on.
I am very pleased with the outcomes and the team all seemed to have a good day which was important to me too as you know. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and creativity. I thought that the certificates and trophies were lots of fun whilst of course having a serious point to them.
We would like to say thank you for your outstanding, well-reasoned and enjoyable course. We are really sorry that we had only a little time to get to know about this discipline. We wish you the best of luck in the future.
Thanks for a very well run intensive day. Tired but inspired.
The experience of doing the CMI Level 3 Certificate was exceptional. Not only did it help me to develop the skills I needed for my first line management role, it gave me the space to reflect on how we as a team could contribute effectively to the vision of our organisation. It also had wider applications, helping me to consider my long term career development and my personal values. The programme was taught in a lively, interactive way, enabling us to apply the theory to our own experiences. The CMI Level 3 Certificate is also a highly valued qualification and no doubt contributed to my subsequent promotion at another university. I am now studying towards the CMI Level 5 Diploma to continue my professional development and really enjoy it.
I set up Find Your Blind Ltd nearly three years ago and business has been fantastic. I got to a point where I needed some help with growing my business and Formium Development have been invaluable in helping me develop both personally and professionally. I feel far more able to cope with any challenges the future will bring and look forward to continuing my partnership with Formium.
The exchange of knowledge between group members, the collegiate environment were so valuable, as well as the positive reframing by trainer.
An inspiring day. Lots of food for thought, new ideas to put into practice. Very successful.

Song is good, video not so much
The song is great, the video could have been better and I agree that there are many elements from Zeitgeist.
Actually the whole video comes from Zeitgeist with a little modification like when you see them play on TVs.

"Delightfully Quirky." - Scientific American
"Schermerhorn has been labeled everything from the next cultural crusader to the ant at the honeymoon picnic." - San Francisco Chronicle
Quirky and provocative documentary film exploring modern marriage, After Happily Ever After, premieres nationally - Sunday, February 10th, 8 pm on PBS World Channel's new series, America Reframed.
After Happily Ever After -- 2012 winner of the Council for the Contemporary Family Media Award -- is Emmy-winner Kate Schermerhorn's funny and moving personal quest for the secret to a happy marriage, and for answers to some timely questions about the institution itself.
This one-hour documentary, which Schermerhorn embarked on with her second husband on their honeymoon, and unexpectedly completed as the pair divorced, features an eclectic mix of couples -- from a pair who dress alike daily to a newlywed pair of California mothers, and a feisty English widow -- all sharing their secrets to marital bliss. A lively and world-renowned group of marriage experts ground the film in fact as they piece together the history and possible future and motivations for marriage.
The film asks questions like what, for example, motivates 90% of Americans to marry when half of those unions will end in divorce? Along the way, Schermerhorn chronicles the joys and heartbreaks of her own marriage, and finds that even the best advice can't always guarantee you a happily ever after.
On Camera Talent:
John Gottman- world-renowned psychologist known for his work in divorce prediction, author of over 40 books and 190 academic articles.
Stephanie Coontz- marriage historian and author of Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy and How Love Conquered Marriage.
Betsey Stevenson- Betsey Stevenson is chief economist for U.S. secretary of labor, Hilda Solis. She has published widely on the economics of marriage.
David Barash- professor of psychology at the University of Washington and author of several books, including The Myth of Monogamy.
Filmmaker- Luna Park Productions founder, Kate Schermerhorn produced and directed 'After Happily Ever After'. Kate won a Northern California Emmy for her first film, Seeking 1906, in 2007. The documentary was also nominated for best historical/cultural feature. Kate is also an accomplished still photographer and author of America's Idea of a Good Time, a photography book looking at America's pursuit of happiness. Kate, a mother of two, blogs about relationships for the Huffington Post.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Truss's decision: badger culling will continue, with no evidence it works

5th January 2015Sneaked out shortly before MP's Christmas recess, the Government's decision to 'carry on culling' badgers with no evidence that the slaughter is reducing the incidence of bovine TB is a travesty of process, writes Lesley Docksey.

24th August 2015Based on current performance tropical forests, the world's most biodiverse ecosystems, are set to be reduced to species-impoverished fragments by the end of the century, writes Simon Lewis. But it's not inevitable. Decisive action by the world's governments in Paris in December could secure desperately needed change. more...
English Nature - no more badger cull licences!
Iain McGill & Veterinary colleagues
21st August 2015English Nature's decision to licence England's badger cull has no scientific basis, write Iain McGill and 26 other distinguished vets in this Open Letter to EN's Chief Scientist. Science Advisory Committee and Board. The body must urgently re-examine the entire issue before issuing any more licences to kill badgers. more...
The NFU's dishonesty over badger culling
Jay Tiernan & Lesley Docksey
22nd August 2015As they argue for an extended and intensified badger cull, some farmers have been making extravagant and improbable claims about giant badgers frolicking with their cattle in the sunshine, write Jay Tiernan & Lesley Docksey. But despite holding office in the NFU, they display astonishing negligence by failing to adopt the most elementary bio-security measures advised by Defra to keep their cattle TB free. more...
Do not disturb! Persecuting badgers may perpetuate TB hotspots
Oliver Tickell
17th August 2015A scientific paper published today says badger persecution may be one of the reasons for the persistence of bovine TB hotspots, writes Oliver Tickell. A further finding is that the main risk factors for bTB are all to do with cattle - not badgers at all. more...
Beyond squirrels: biodiversity doesn't stop at Dover
James Borrell
8th August 2015Should we really be spending £1.2 million a year to conserve red squirrels? Yes we should, writes James Borrell. But with Africa's rhinos facing extinction, and vital conservation in UK's overseas 'biodiversity jewels' sadly underfunded, there are much better investments we should be making too. more...
Rewilding isn't about nostalgia - exciting new worlds are possible
Paul Jepson
22nd July 2015Rewilding is now firmly on the agenda, writes Paul Jepson, and that brings a huge opportunity to re-invigorate conservation. But we must look to creating new functional ecosystems for the future, rather than trying to recreate a lost and perhaps imagined past. more...

European Commission's deregulation drive threatens EU nature laws
Leonardo Mazza
11th July 2015The EU's nature directives provide effective protection for endangered species and habitats, writes Leonardo Mazza. So why the Commission's decision to 'review' and 'modernise' the laws? With its commitment to business-friendly deregulation and uninterest in the environment, the aim is surely to gut them - something only EU-wide citizens' mobilisation can prevent. more...

WASHINGTON Oct 18 The drought that ravaged the United States this year does not appear to be abating and may spread through the winter, government forecasters said on Thursday.
"The large majority of that drought we expect to persist," said Mike Halpert, deputy director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "We even see drought expanding westward ... into Montana, Idaho and part of Oregon and Washington."

High resolution monsoon record from a Maar Lake in cantorial Burma
- Indicative Funding
- $6,950
- Summary
- The Indian/Asian monsoon represents one of the major climate systems on the planet and is intimately connected to the Australian monsoon. Most previous research monsoon variability has focused on widely separated records from the Arabian Sea/India and Indochina/China. Between these there are no well-resolved lowland terrestrial records. We identified volcanic and cored a crater lake in Myanmar producing a 3,000 year sediment record. From Itrax, XRF we conclude that the core contains the first continuous terrestrial record of monsoon variability from Myanmar, providing a critical link between records of Indian and Asian monsoon variability. We seek dates to develop the chronology of this record.

Palaeo-vegetation, biodiversity and early human dispersal through island Southeast Asia
- Indicative Funding
- $306,666 over 2 years
- Summary
- This study will use newly developed and fully validated isotope techniques to obtain robustly dated proxy records of vegetation change from the thick deposits of cave guano that occur extensively throughout island Southeast Asia (Sundaland). We will test the hypothesis that during the Last Glacial Period, there was a substantial contraction of the rainforest towards the equator into refugia. This led to the development of an open 'savannah corridor' connecting savanna north and south of the equator. The project will shed new light on the palaeoclimatology of the region and provide a major contribution to explaining modern biogeographic patterns across Sundaland, as well as the trajectories of early human dispersal through the region.

Compost and Biochar Amendments for Increased Carbon Sequestration, Increased Soil Resilience and Decreased Greenhouse Gas Fluxes In Tropical Agricultural Soils
- Indicative Funding
- $887,636 over 4 years
- Summary
- Compost and biochar are used separately for improving soil condition and sequestering carbon, and have been shown to be of particular benefit in tropical agricultural soils. This project will mix biochar with organic waste prior to composting (COMBI-mix) to synergistically enhance the acknowledged benefits of both materials. We will (i) trial business as usual, compost alone, biochar alone, COMBI-mix and compost mixed with biochar at nine field sites across North Queensland (ii) determine the impact of each on carbon sequestration, GHG fluxes and crop performance (iii) provide inputs to better model soil carbon in agricultural systems (iv) develop a DOIC methodology and (v) model costs/benefits at the farm/regional/industry scale.

What is 'natural'? : Locating and deciphering pre-human records of vegetation from northern Australian savannas
- Indicative Funding
- $190,000
- Summary
- Pilot fieldwork has identified sinkholes of considerable depth and antiquity in the northern Territory, representing persistent long-term sediment traps akin to crater lakes. This study will assess the potential of these sinkholes to provide local, dateable, high-resolution palaeoenvironmental records, extending through the last interglacial. We believe these sedimentary archives, from prior to human colonisation of the continent, will provide the essential, but currently missing data required to determine whether humans modified fire regimes to the extent that monsoon and dry forest types were substituted by savannah in northern Australia with the result that the water balance of interior Australia was permanently modified.

Court rebukes senior cop for `casual` approach
Thane: A senior police inspector was pulled up by a local court for not coming prepared for a murder trial.
Additional sessions judge AA Sayeed came down heavily on senior police inspector Subhash Divekar, attached to Thane Commissionerate, during his deposition in the ongoing trial in a 2011 triple murder case.
When the officer fumbled to explain, the judge rebuked him saying "you are sitting in front of me since morning. You could have prepared for deposition before stepping in the witness box, which you did not".
As Divekar tried to explain that since he has some law and order issues to tackle in his jurisdiction he could not find time to prepare, the court said "should we check this up with your seniors"?
The court rebuked Divekar for not being attentive.
The case relates to the murder of Bhiwandi-based moneylender Irfan Shah (32), his wife Gulista and their four-year-old daughter Mohak who were hacked to death in 2011, allegedly by Mohammad Rafique Khan (25) and Mohammad Safique Khan (30) over loan.

There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans – intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted.

Two takeaway companies known for using shock tactics in marketing campaigns have had to apologise for content on their Facebook pages.
Habitual Fix have retracted an advertisement which mocks shamed Belarusian shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk's gender.
Following the news Val Adams would receive the gold medal for the shot-put, the company came out with a voucher for The Manwich, offering 'No added hormones or steroids' or 'hidden a-genders'.
Critics said the ad poked fun at the women's appearance and feminity.
"Not impressed with Habitual Fix campaign mocking Ostapchuk's gender. Just because she isn't dainty doesn't mean she isn't a woman," Twitter user Jacob Toner said.
"Couldn't you celebrate Val's gold in style rather than resorting to this?" tweeted Anna Connell.
In response, Habitual Fix removed the ad from their Facebook page and posted a retraction.
"To stand out in a vanilla society that's currently happy and safely sitting on the fence, we need an opinion, to stand for something and yes, a lot of attitude.
"We also take your feedback very seriously and to prove this, we have removed the offending current shot-put ad."
The offer on the voucher - two for one Manwiches - still stood, but the image had been replaced by a cute kitten.
Hell Pizza have again caused offence, this time for posting a message on their Facebook with last week's winning "confessional" which described a scene of sexual abuse.
The post was quickly taken down but not before screen grabs were sent around the internet.
Hell Pizza responded to one Facebook user saying a computer picked the winner of their confessional competition.
"We saw this as a Jackass-type confession, guys making fun of other guys which we're sure is the way that it was given and received. We certainly don't condone anything further than that. Have taken all of your views on board though and thanks for the comments."
A twitter user wrote: "I remember when Hell Pizza used to be clever. Now even their "shock" marketing is just dumb offensiveness dressed up."

This Fourth of July for the Minnesota Wild was a little less eventful than the last.
Still, the Wild made another holiday splash by bringing in more help for their blue line.
The Wild announced Thursday they agreed to terms on a two-year contract with defenseman Keith Ballard, who was available after being let go by Vancouver earlier this week with a compliance buyout to clear space under the salary cap.
The Wild said paperwork for Ballard's deal would be filed Friday, when the free agent market opens. The Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported Ballard's contract is worth $3 million. He was scheduled to make $4.2 million in each of the final two seasons of his previous deal with the Canucks.
The 30-year-old Ballard managed just two assists in 36 games for Vancouver in 2013. Over three seasons there since being acquired in a draft-day trade in 2010 with Florida, Ballard had only 16 points in 148 games. He was hindered by several injuries.
Before that, though, the former University of Minnesota star was far more productive. Over five seasons with Phoenix and Florida, he averaged nearly 30 points while playing in 97 percent of the games. As a rookie with the Coyotes in 2005-06, Ballard had eight goals and 31 assists and played in all 82 games. In his first year with the Panthers in 2008-09, the 5-foot-11, 200-pound Ballard had six goals and 28 goals with a plus-14 rating while again playing all 82 games.
Ballard will essentially replace defenseman Tom Gilbert, another local guy, who was dumped by the Wild with a compliance buyout this week. Ballard is from Baudette, Minn., on the Canadian border. He won two NCAA championships in his career with the Gophers.
Another Minnesotan, center Matt Cullen, will be moving on as the Wild's most prominent unrestricted free agent. Cullen told the Star Tribune that Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher informed him he couldn't offer him a fair contract given the team's cap constraints.
