4 Great Tips For Choosing A Shoe

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It’s hard to find the best shoe since different people need footwear for different purposes. There are many things that determine the right shoe for you including biomechanics, weight, surfaces and the shape of your feet. By using characteristics such as performance, stability, minimalist and neutral, you can easily find the right shoe for your needs. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Stability - It’s a shoe feature that’s recommended for runners who are mild or moderate overpronators, especially those with low and normal arches. They need shoes with proper support and midsole cushioning.

2. Performance - It’s a feature in shoes recommended for racing and for training, especially for people who are biomechanically efficient. They provide various types of cushioning and support. However, they tend to be lighter or narrower than other shoes adapted for running such as these Powerstep trainers.

3. Neutral - It’s perfect for runners looking for maximum cushioning in their midsole and the least medial support. They are the best shoes for biomechanically efficient runners with least pronation and forefoot or midfoot strikers with normal or high arches.

4. Minimalist - Perfect for shoes biomechanically efficient runners looking for maximum response and a stripped-down shoe. They are the midpoint between neutral cushioned shoes with top performance. Check out these options - http://www.soletrader.co.uk/womens/

If you’re looking for the best shoe for your needs, check out the ‘Wet Test’ outlined below. You should also think about visiting an experienced shoe retailer or biomechanics expert.  With the Wet Test, your wet footprint on a piece of paper or dry floor determines your stability, the features required and help you find the right shoes for your needs. Therefore, if you want to improve the health of your feet, take the time to determine the basic features required for the best results.

Capacity Enhancement of the Energy Sector on Hazard, Risk Assessment and Exposure Database Development Through the Use of the REDAS Software

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST-PHIVOLCS) collaborated to enhance the capacity of the energy sector in terms of determining the areas of concern for earthquake incidents using their state-of-the-art software: Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS).

The REDAS is a tool for emergency preparedness, contingency planning and mainstreaming disaster risk reduction on the adverse effect of earthquake.

The use of REDAS will benefit the energy sector by having a near real-time simulated earthquake hazard information that can help assess the situation on the ground.

Through this MOA signing, the Energy Sector will pursue REDAS Training to support and strengthen disaster management capabilities of the energy sector.

The partnership of the DOE and DOST-PHIVOLCS is in line with the recently signed Department Circular No. 2018-01- 0001 or the “Adoption of Energy Resiliency in the Planning and Programming of the Energy Sector to Mitigate Potential Impacts of Disasters” also known as the Energy Resiliency Policy.

WHAT: Signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between DOE-PHIVOLCS entitled

“Capacity Enhancement of the Energy Sector on Hazard, Risk Assessment and Exposure Database Development Through the Use of the REDAS Software”/Press Conference

WHEN: March 16, 2017 (FRIDAY), 9:00 AM-12:00 NN

WHERE: DOE-Media Center, 3rd Flr., PNOC Bldg. 5, DOE Compound, BGC, Taguig
