How to Know If Your Product, Service or Idea Is Destined for Success | SmallBusinessNewz

So, you've got a terrific idea for a new product, service or business. But how do you know if it's going to sell?
That's a question I hear quite a lot from my entrepreneur clients—and from random people I meet who find out what I do.
Now, some ideas may seem like winners right off the bat. And they may be. But you don't want to invest a ton of time and money based solely on an assumption. Because we all know what happens when you assume anything. ;-)

UK snow, December 2010

It’s pretty crazy in the UK right now due to all the snow over the past few days, we don’t actually get that much snow here and despite the UK’s rich resources we don’t seem to prepare for the snow and then we deal with it badly when it arrives. The country generally comes to standstill when the snow hits.
This is what the roads looked like near me, not so bad but so still enough to cause problems.

Jobs for World Changers

Can you get paid to change the world? Careers in public service are suddenly "cool" again, according to career services director HeatherKrasna of the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Affairs. In her new book, JOBS THAT MATTER, Krasna defines "public service" jobsas not just government work, but also careers at universities and otherlearning institutions, as well as nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations and many segments of the private sector devoted toimproving the world.
Krasna offers exercises for defining one's dreams and clarifying the steps to achieve them and narrowing down the aspect of the world that you want to improve, such as children's issues, civil rights, or urban development.

DEMAND FOR FOOD-SAFETY PRODUCTS PROJECTED TO INCREASE

The demand for products that help ensure a safer food supply may see  accelerating growth in the next three years, according to research by  The Freedonia Group.   Disinfectants, diagnostic products, smart labels and tags, software,  and tracking systems are among the sectors expected to see gains as consumer reaction to food contamination cases and stricter safety  regulations contribute to growing demand.   
Worldwide, demand for food-safety products grew at an average of 7.8%  per year between 2004 and 2009; Freedonia projects this to increase to 8.1% per year between 2009 and 2014.    
DETAILS: "World Food Safety Products" (November 2010, 315 pages) is available for $5,800 from The Freedonia Group Inc.

Global Warming of Lakes

Temperatures of the world's 167 largest lakes have increased by an average of 0.8 degrees Fahrenheit per decade during the past 25 years, according to NASA researchers using satellite data to measure surface temperatures.
Though the trend is global, it is more pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere; the most warming has occurred in northern Europe, note the researchers.
Water temperature changes affect such phenomena as algal blooms, which can make lakes toxic to native fish or more hospitable to invading nonnative species, the researchers warn.
