Great Escape 80-th anniversary. On the night on 24 March 1944, 76 Allied prisoners of war evade their German captors, escaping via a tunnel codenamed Harry, under the wire of a prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III in Żagań (former Sagan). Tunnel Harry and digging effort in some numbers: ▶ length - 111 m ▶ depth - 9 m ▶ width - 0,6 m ▶ boards for shoring - aprox. 3000 to 4000 (from beds, chairs, tables, benches) ▶ electric lighting - yes (!!!) ▶ ventilation system - yes - a pump and aprox. 1000 tins. ▶ tons of soil removed - aprox. 130 ▶ spoons for digging - aprox. 500 ▶ shovels - aprox. 30 ▶ matresses, pilow cases, bed covers - to muffle sounds ❗ Done in secret amid a security operation policed by the POWs. https://lnkd.in/dU5wy-Dp

In the belly, planting seeds The festivals of Imbolg and Saint Brigid's Day are technically different days. Imbolg (sometimes Imbolc) is the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. That means that it can move from February 1st to February 2nd, while the festival of St. Brigid is always February 1st. The name Imbolg seems to come from the term "in the belly". The idea is that as the weather is supposed to get warmer (looks outside and shouts "supposed"), the rams get frisky and most of the sheep will be on the way to getting lambs soon. This might be why St Brigid's Day is a traditional seed planting day. And once again CyberTwin used the AnamoLABS™ - Cork facility to create the motion capture for the Muckross House Research Library seasonal update animation. https://lnkd.in/eFyZX9kr Speaking of a good time to plant seeds, tonight will be the first meetup of the Munster Animation Cluster. There will be a lot of "getting to know" and "finally in the flesh" type conversations. It's one more seed that might grow into something really big.

So is your solution at the top of the map? Is it leading the drive to the right? If not you, then who? If you aren't the most visible source of value to your customers, which of your competitors is? How long do you think they'll wait before they cut you out of the stack? If you're not planning to lead the move to the next tier of service, which of your competitors will?
