Parkinson’s Disease and the Internet of Things

Healthcare and the internet of things.

Introduction

The healthcare industry has been evolving to meet the needs of the rapidly changing digital environment. The industry has utilised the use of emerging technologies to enhance productivity and ultimately improve patient experience and quality of life.

In this blog, I will be focusing on the Internet of things or IoT. So, what is the internet of things? The basic concept behind IoT is that everyday objects interconnect with each other through a networked system. These objects often are equipped with ubiquitous intelligence (Xia et al., 2012). The healthcare industry used IoT extensively, creating its branch called the medical internet of things (mIoT). This technology implements wireless sensors in medical equipment, combining with the internet integrating, hospital, patient, and medical records, promoting a new medical model (Hu, Shen, and Xie, 2013).    

The treatment of Parkinson's disease incorporating the medical internet of things will be at the heart of this blog. PD is a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years. One of the most detrimental and noticeable symptoms of this disease is the involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body, also known as a tremor (NHS Choices, 2019).  

Theory behind the Technology

The underlying treatments using IoT to treat PD are through wearable technology, home monitoring, and digital versions of standardised clinical tests. Wearable sensors are being specifically designed to capture disease traits that are prevalent in PD such as, tremor episodes, gait patterns, and activity levels. These devices can be hooked up to the internet through data aggregators, where the information is sent to medical and research databases and is then sent back to the patient in the form of visual and other sensorial cues. (Pasluosta et al., 2012). The relationship between IoT and the healthcare system can be shown in figure 1.

The traditional treatment of PD patients must attend clinical appointments to assess their postural instability and tremor level. The costs of this involve patient transportation, consultation, and hospital resources. The opportunity to perform at-home procedures using sensors and the IoT would reduce these costs significantly. Also, standard assessments of PD from a clinician can often be subjective. This makes the patients’ health dependant on the clinician’s experience and expertise. If a form of sensory technology can be implemented, more objective results may be found (Romero, Chatterjee, and Armentano, 2016). An IoT remote treatment model can be shown in figure 2. 

Albani et al. (2019) researched the effectiveness of a multi-sensor approach in treating PD. These strategies aimed to reduce the frequency of follow-up appointments for PD patients. And improve the accuracy of results. They concluded that the proposed solution of sensor wearable technology significantly improved the assessment of PD. Providing a decentralised, more accurate, and cost-effective method of treating PD. 

Application of technology

After consulting the academic theory surrounding the IoT and its role in the medical internet of things, it is important to examine which institutions have been successful in implementing this technology.  Intel has partnered with the Michael Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research to find tech-enabled solutions to PD. The project aimed to produce a mobile application and IoT platform to support large case studies of objective sampled sensory data for people with PD (Cohen, Bataille, and Martig, 2016).  Intel used on-the-shelf wrist-worn smartwatches and built an application around them which is downloaded on a smartphone and calibrated with the watch. These devices also share data with the Fox Foundation servers. The smartwatches served two functions: to track patient activity, tremors and pass data to the ‘enterprise data hub’ for big data analysis. The Fox mobile app is a big part of this product. The layout of the application is shown in figure 3. The mobile app allows users to input information about their medication and medication schedule. The data is stored in the cloud for analysis and storage (Intel corporation 2015).

Challenges

 With any promising technological outbreak and achievement, challenges always present themselves. The medical internet of things and the treatment of PD is no different. Dimitrov (2016) highlighted five key capabilities a leading IoT system must have:

Simple connectivity, making it easier to     connect devices and scale through cloud base services for data analysis.

Easy device management, improve asset     availability, and reduce maintenance costs.

Information Ingestion, intelligently transform     and store IoT data.

Informative analytics, make informed decisions     based on large volumes of IoT data to optimise procedures. And to apply     real time analytics to monitor current conditions and respond accordingly.

Reduced risk, react to notifications, and     isolate any incidents generated from the company environment from any     device/console.    

 Reflections

Reflecting on this blog discussion it is clear that the IoT/ mIoT can have a positive impact on the battle against PD. In particular, the use of wearable technology. And how this can collaborate with the IoT to produce objective results, making cost savings for health organisations all over the world. With an aging population, PD is likely to become more prominent. An effective IoT system allows for a decentralised approach making significant improvements in Hospital efficiency and patient conditions. The Intel and Fox app is exciting, and it's fascinating to see where this sort of technology can go and the differences it can make to people's lives in the health industry.

[soundwavereporting]

day 4 of @prowlweek! today’s prompt was ‘sensory’. 

it’s pre-cosmos/prowl/soundwave! if you’re inclined to read everything preceding this, you can do so here. if you don’t want to? the tl;dr is that prowl ended up on sanctuary station and he, cosmos, and soundwave are in the maddeningly slow process of getting together. 

this fic features absolutely terrible decisions, the most important of which is trying to make important life choices while drinking. anyone still uses the citrus scale, this fic is the cybertronian equivalent of a lime.

five half-lies and one full truth

1. 

If anyone asked (and he were inclined to actually answer) Soundwave would report that he didn’t remember who made the first move. He supposed, lying in a tangle of cables and the scent of ozone, he would have to tell Cosmos the truth. They both would. 

The truth was Prowl, optic bright with copper-infused engex and a sudden burst of bravery that would have put Optimus Prime to shame, had leaned over the desk and kissed him square on the mouth.

“Do you think…”

Soundwave had been in the process of taking another sip of engex, but as Prowl spoke, he paused leaving the glass frozen halfway between the desk and his mouth.

Prowl’s mind was…duller than usual. Toned down. And a little muddled.

But Soundwave still liked it.

Soundwave waited as Prowl mulled over his next words. It wasn’t impolite to take a drink when someone was thinking, was it?

Soundwave wasn’t sure. He could count the number of times he’d been a social drinker on one servo, and each and every instance he had been expected to sit on the other side of a desk and agree with whenever Ratbat said. That kind of social drinking wasn’t particularly conducive to actually drinking.

Hm.

“Things could have ended up differently, if I were you and you were me?”

“Yes.” A simple answer, though he knew that wasn’t the question Prowl meant to ask.

Prowl groaned and took another swig of engex. Soundwave could see the engex crackling in his mind. Watching it was…

Soundwave looked away.  

“If I were a Decepticon…” Prowl glared at his engex. “The war would’ve been over four million years ago.”

Soundwave nodded. He didn’t think Prowl actually wanted him to agree: calling someone like Prowl a Decepticon was a surefire way to get a punch in the face.

“That’s all I wanted to do,” Prowl muttered. “End the war. Save lives. Preferably both.”

Before Soundwave could respond, Prowl started talking again.

“Sorry. I’m not good company when I’m overcharged, am I.”

It wasn’t a question.

Soundwave looked up to watch the stormy clouds circling his head. Prowl frowned, and the scar on the bridge of his nose—

Soundwave heard his fans click on.

He looked away.

“I do not mind. Your—”

“My mind is nice,” Prowl said, though there was no malice in his words. He sounded confused, as though he had never heard those words applied to him before. That was strange—Soundwave knew for a fact that during their time as a gestalt, the Constructicons paid his mind compliments. Vocally and often.

Prowl finished off the glass and set it on Soundwave’s desk.

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“My mind.” Prowl rested his elbows on the desk and leaned forward. Soundwave forced himself to meet Prowl’s optic. “Why do you like it so much?”

“I cannot tell you,” Soundwave said. “You know that.”

“But you can show me.”

2.

Prowl was the one who made the first move, but it was Soundwave who knocked the desk over. He had a moment to feel equal parts stupidly embarrassed and foolishly emotional, but any misgivings were quickly quashed by the feeling of Prowl’s mouth on his own.

They fell, tangled, to the floor. Prowl’s engine kicked up a notch, drowning out the sound of Soundwave’s gasp.

And now he was thinking about the desk. Soundwave pulled away to follow Prowl’s gaze—he was looking at the overturned furniture, thinking about flipping tables of all things, how Tumbler used to joke about bolting his desk down except Prowl was never sure if it was a joke or not and—

Soundwave kissed him again.

The distraction worked, but now Prowl was thinking about him, which was a wholly intimidating thought. Without a direct connection (which Soundwave really, really wanted, and was beginning to suspect Prowl really, really wanted as well) the beautiful lines and angles were fuzzy, muddled by noise and engex.

Soundwave loved them

He canceled the battle protocols that had activated when Prowl lunged and was treated to the sight of Prowl perched on top of him. One hand traced the edges of his tape deck—did he know it was sensitive, or was it just something to touch?

Soundwave imagined Prowl’s hand in him. Touching circuits no mech outside of his cassettes were supposed to see, much less touch, tracing the contours of his docking ports.

He shuddered, and sat up to mouth the cabling on Prowl’s neck and was rewarded with a gasp that felt…oddly deliberate. Genuine, but unsurprised.

He blinked.

Number cruncher floated across both their minds.

Were it not for the hot flash of red embarrassment that followed the phrase, Soundwave would never have considered it an insult.

Oh.

“You know what I am going to do,” Soundwave mumbled into Prowl’s neck. “You can predict it.”

“Within a—” Prowl yelped. He hadn’t seen Soundwave lift a hand to caress the sensory panels affixed to his back, Soundwave realized. “Reasonable margin of error.”

“If you can see it.”Soundwave felt the paneling twitch under his hand. Prowl nodded, and Soundwave tasted the sensation of being touched in the back of his throat. “What am I going to do next?”

“Uh.” Again, Soundwave felt the weight of Prowl’s stare come to rest on his frame.

Soundwave hoped he would remember this in the morning. The line between lowered inhibitions and stupid drunk was a thin one, but neither he nor Prowl had ingested enough engex to cross it.

Probably.

“Um.”

Soundwave traced the length of the sensors on Prowl’s back, an action that elicited a hastily-silenced moan. “Do you really want a comprehensive breakdown of your potential actions?”

“Maybe later.” Soundwave drank in the sharp certainty of Prowl’s mind. He’d never given Soundwave explicit permission to snoop, but at this particular moment…Prowl didn’t seem to care. He wondered, for a moment, if Prowl could become to his anchor.

His Ravage.

His Megatron.

He had hoped Cosmos might be willing to accept that role, but Cosmos was…ubiquitous. Cosmos was everywhere, and nowhere, too easily able to slip between Soundwave’s fingers.  

Prowl was clarity in a sea of static. And Cosmos was the static, cocooning him and caressing his spark, fierce and gentle and—

Cosmos was going to hate them.

Or worse…he would be hurt.

Soundwave kissed the edge of Prowl’s jaw and wished could stop thinking. Just for a moment.

They should stop. Right now. Stop and pull away and come back to this when Cosmos was around, and then they could be sensible about this.

Whatever was going on between them, Soundwave didn’t want to ruin it. Prowl didn’t want to ruin it.

None of them wanted to ruin it, and Soundwave and Prowl were about to do just that.

3.

“My turn,” Prowl whispered, and raised a brow as Soundwave obediently leaned back, feeling the chill of unheated metal against his plating.

“Told you to stay out of my head,” Prowl muttered, though his optic widened when Soundwave smiled.

“You don’t mean it. Not now.”

“Tomorrow, when I do,” Prowl leaned forward until their breaths came together in a dizzying, tantalizing mix of near-sensory overload. “What then?”

“Your thoughts will be your own.”

Prowl was far too heavy for Soundwave to even consider attempting to sit up, but he had no real inclination to try.

“We should—”

Soundwave heard a click and realized with a jolt of embarrassment that it had been his own interface protocols coming online. Prowl blinked, but didn’t seem particularly dissuaded.

He tried again.

“We should stop?”

Prowl froze.

“Cosmos,” was all Soundwave said, and Prowl nodded. But he didn’t move to get up, and Soundwave didn’t push the issue. Soundwave manually canceled the protocols and thanked the stars his cables hadn’t already unspooled—manually coaxing them back into his frame might have been slightly more embarrassment than he could handle.

“If you are willing,” Prowl said slowly. “I would still like to know how you see things.”

A little too quickly, Soundwave nodded.

4.

“…oh.”

Soundwave felt his lips twitch. Prowl had gone still on top of him as his mind struggled to process the new wave of sensory data. Soundwave didn’t dare move or touch Prowl for fear of eliciting more sensation than his processor could comfortably handle.

“It’s a lot.”

Prowl steadied himself on Soundwave’s chassis, and nodded. Soundwave peeled back another layer of firewalls.

“It is.”  

The tenuous connection between them was just enough for Soundwave to get a glance at the blurry lines and numbers. Idly, Soundwave tugged at the cable connecting him to Prowl—as much as he would have relished the chance to be invited into Prowl’s mind and spend a few blissful minutes immersed in angles and pure data, this was for Prowl.

The very notion of someone (Prowl) wanting to see in his mind had Soundwave feeling a unique mixture of elation and nauseating anxiety. His fuel tank cramped painfully at the mere notion of rejection, but Prowl—

“Shh.” More gently than he thought Prowl—anyone, save for perhaps Ravage—capable of, Prowl touched the spot on his armor just above his fuel tank. “I understand. I think.”

Immediately, Soundwave relaxed. Several layers of stress-induced color that Soundwave had forgotten about faded. As he looked up at Prowl, the world became dizzyingly clear. Soundwave allowed Prowl to bypass every firewall save for the ones keeping guard over his vital functions. Mentally, he lay back and watched Prowl peruse his datafiles. Amusement zipped across their connection as he realized Prowl was going through his most recent memories, lingering over his reaction to Prowl predicting Soundwave’s movements.

Prowl frowned.

The colors snapped back into existence.

“I’m not going to be Megatron,” Prowl snapped.

5.

“It is not like that.” But Prowl knew that, didn’t he. He was in Soundwave’s head. At that moment, Prowl knew him better than any mech ever had. Except—

“Stop thinking about him.”

“Apologies.” But he hadn’t yanked Soundwave’s cable out of his waist port. Desperately, Soundwave clung to that fact.

“I’m not here to be your leader,” Prowl snapped, saying the word leader like someone might say the word incurable, late-stage cosmic rust. “No. Full stop.”

“Not like that.” But they all had been leaders, hadn’t they? Ravage had led him from the Dead End, showed him a new way of existing that wasn’t just survival. And Megatron had led him far, far beyond what he once would have deemed acceptable. “It helps,” Soundwave offered. “To have someone to focus on. Someone strong. Unique.”

“You said you would stay out of my head.” Prowl’s voice was quiet.

“And I will.”

To Soundwave, the truth smelled like ozone. And Prowl knew it.

Prowl snorted.

“You really like my mind, don’t you.”

Dumbly, Soundwave nodded.

+1

Soundwave felt Prowl give in.

He watched as Prowl leaned forward to rest his elbows on the glass of Soundwave’s chest. Not for the first time, Soundwave was glad the cassettes were out for the night and wouldn’t be expecting him back at the habsuite.

“We shouldn’t have done this.” Prowl made no move to get up. Soundwave watched as he wrapped the cable around his finger, then let it unwind. “Not without…”

Prowl gave up all pretense of respectability and slumped against Soundwave.

“This is hard,”  Prowl mumbled into Soundwave’s shoulder. Soundwave hummed an acknowledgement. “I don’t know what to do.”

“Neither do I.”

He didn’t feel particularly better after admitting it. Enough of the engex had worn off that they were beginning to feel tired—and more than a little awkward.

He wondered how many times they would have to do this dance of engex and lowered inhibitions, only to be countered by the uncomfortable reality of sobriety. It wasn’t that getting drunk with Prowl wasn’t nice (in more ways than one) but…

Soundwave moved to sit up. Prowl groaned his assent and began to slide off, but Soundwave shook his head.

Prowl was very nearly too big to comfortably sit in Soundwave’s lap.

He didn’t mind.

“Tell me,” Soundwave said, and Prowl looked up. “What am I going to do next?”

“Oh.” Prowl blinked, registering the question Soundwave had pushed over their connection. “Oh. Er, yes. I suppose.”

He tasted like gritty engex.

But Prowl liked gritty engex, and Soundwave liked Prowl, so Soundwave supposed it was alright.

Maintaining complete autonomy over your data in the data lake

Data Lakes Technology is becoming all the more popular with time. Cloud Technology has made it easier to adopt this platform. Data Lakes are highly secure, and it preserves data in the most efficient manner. 

The platform helps organizations overcome all the hassles and hardships related to Data Warehousing and Data structures. It enables users to give a better description of their data and achieve better insights that promote informed decision making.  

Data Lake Solutions helps an organization to emerge more data-driven. Such enterprises need Historical and accurate data in massive volumes. They keep on browsing Data catalogs and prefer text searches. 

You will find users using advanced analytics and machine learning and artificial intelligence to drive digital transmission for operating their business. It is essential to track the data source.  

Intricacies that revolves around Governance and Compliance  

Filling a Data Lake Framework calls for an immense complication. Users need to do it in a pocket-friendly manner. Most importantly, users must ensure that the process gets executed so that users can escape the threats of Compliance fall. 

The Data keeps coming from all possible sources. Its ingestion calls for a gigantic scope of data coming from Social Media, IoT, file servers, and unstructured and structured Databases. Data Exchange in large volumes ensures the availability of adequate data. It opens the door for issues related to Data management.  

Big Data Management features an identical discipline as information management in its conventional forms. It includes scopes for Data integration, Data Privacy and protection, and Metadata Governance, along with Data retention. 

The most stringent challenge involves the achievement of centralized Compliance and a better hold over the massive volume of data flowing through the distributed Data Lake Framework. 

What experts have to state in this regard? 

Experts are feeling a sense of urgency in this regard. As businesses emphasize Digital Transformation, Data security, Data Compliance, and Data Governance should get adequate consideration. 

The latest enactments in this regard need comprehensive control on Data Privacy and confidentiality. For major businesses, achieving the desired compliance level is a severe issue. It holds, even if it calls to answering simple questions. 

However, it never answers the question about tracking the source of data. It opens the way for further research that will answer this question. It will enable users to handle data more proficiently, and it becomes easier to achieve better Compliance. 

Centralized Data Governance- the concept and its significance for the optimum compliance 

One of the most suitable solutions to this problem is the centralized Data Governance Framework. It addresses the debate between the Federated and the decentralized Framework. Users think about establishing Compliance with the Data ingestion points. 

In such instances, policies relating to the Information management life cycle are relevant to apply for classifying as well as to manage data through its entire lifecycle. 

As a gigantic load of data keeps flowing through the file servers and databases. It transforms into the Cloud-enabled storage framework; it feels a real need for well-planned policies on compliance management. 

What can the most suitable solution to this challenge? 

One of the best- practices in this regard calls for centralized Data Governance and comprehensive compliance management. It calls for a standard process for the entire enterprise. Adequate data Management involves business laws that are inevitable for businesses for Compliance.  

The system fails to earn the complete faith, as it paves the way for time-consuming follow-up formalities. As such, it becomes inevitable for users to offer a relevant solution to the issue. 

Keep in mind that, if non-compliant Data enters the network, it becomes almost impossible to recall such data at a later stage. As such, users must ensure that the Framework involves only the compliant data. 

Organizational Data Lake Frameworks  

The Data Lake Framework is the nucleus of the interconnected Data network. Organizational Data Lake framework calls for data ingestion. 

It prepares it for subsequent processing and paves the way for the centralized Data governance framework for managing data across its entire life cycle. Policy-oriented and Federated Management policy ensures data compliance across the Decentralized Data Lake Network. 

These days, companies are escalating Data ingestion. Centralized Framework for the data import from Semi-structured, structured, and unstructured, and soiled data storage simplifies the compliance management process. 

No matter the data arrives in a simple or a multiplex format. However, federated ingestion, businesses can opt for cataloging their data. As data classification gets completed during the ingestion process, it is possible to ensure foolproof security and safety to the data resources. 

The choice between moving or copying Data is critical. For the majority of organizations, a drastic rise in the data volume has triggered a significant crisis. In case the dataset is excessively large, organizations need to put a long time to respond. Even batch processing may not come effective in offering a timely solution to this challenge.   

System Upgrade Extension needs downtime windows. On the other hand, it escalates the issues in recovering disasters and the storage cost. The Data Move process involves data purge at its source that streamlines performance issues with the production system. 

On the other hand, the copy process escalates the need for advanced Framework as it encounters more data for processing. As such, the data framework demands the necessary update that makes it competent to process data more efficiently, paving the way for the desired compliance standard. 

As Data Lakes keeps rolling across an organization, it becomes exceedingly challenging to fill up the Framework. An organizational data lake, which features a centralized governance framework for Big data, paves the way for a more trusted and centralized compliance system. 

More importantly, it enables businesses to encourage Decentralized Data Lake Framework. On the whole, the domain featuring great dynamism. With time, the potential is main folding significantly, opening up new possibilities over time. 

It’s up to the time to find how things will shape up shortly. One can certainly expect for more opportunities to flourish that will bring paradigm shifts to the usual approaches in data management and Compliance. 

[wormwoodmn]

it’s been a busy week in wormwood college. there’s a lot of investigations here, but, just to keep things simple, i’ll make a summary : if you go past the tracks in the deepriver forest, you risk getting drugged by a hallucinogen that is some mixture of nardyll and dmt ; there’s also armed guards in the area, one of whom was shot in the foot by our heroes and brought back to campus for a friendly interrogation ; isla yi is terrified of something in the town, and urges our heroes to stay safe ; famed author h. h. hart may have changed his name and also written a book about occultism in wheldrake ; mayor mcdonald answers all questions without answering them ; there’s almost a shootout ; and the gang befriends a ghost ! details are under the cut. 

cam’s internet research - september 14, 2020

only the method of sam's death ( hit by a train ) which was public knowledge

jake at the sheriff’s office - september 14, 2020

jake earned the contact information of kimber stanton, sheriff’s office secretary

met edward bates, a montgomery county deputy with ice blue eyes and a pancake ass (don’t ask) 

gwen, kennedy, and daniel break into the president’s office - september 15, 2020 ( tw drug use mention ) 

met anna, the elderly mitchell hall secretary, as well as rick, who works in the financial aid office 

rick thinks daniel is dumb and kinda hates both him and gwen now which is great 

kennedy found the following on isla's secretary's desk: 

a phone number marked DNA  a crumpled up pamphlet for king street yoga  a notepad in a drawer with a page recently ripped off and some indents left in the paper below ; gwen later takes a rubbing of the imprint, discovering the names joel davenport, mayor mcdonald, h. h. hart, dr radcliffe, and emmett parker from the herald. most are marked call back asap. hart leaves his condolences. parker is marked DNA. 

once daniel and gwen met ken in the office, ken found the office key under a potted plant, and the trio set to exploring. 

ken found a few things in isla's desk, including a small notepad with the following notes: 

- 9/13 - called four times. sounded manic / high? clearly upset about the lockdown , asked why necessary.  - 9/14 - called seven times. added to dna.  - 9/16 - mm asked about. evasive, wouldn't give me answers. 

gwen scans the photographs on the wall, discovering that the largest and most loved section is of the wormwood student body, isla with various valedictorians, teams, and clubs, all beaming. 

finally, gwen and ken destroy the security cameras before leaving. note that this doesn't destroy the security footage.

nigel, emmet, and raf in the woods - september 16, 2020 ( tw hallucinations , drugging )

nigel purchases a drone, and is photographed carrying his drone down king street 

nigel, raf, and emmet find some blood on the train tracks 

while using the drone to attempt to see things from above, it crashes in a tree  

hallucinations/drugging tw when they attempt to retrieve it, they smell something strange for a moment before they all feel symptoms. 

- emmet feels her anxiety ratchet up and her heart beat quicken. emmet also faints.  - raf feels intense paranoia, hears a twig snap, and swears they're being watched.   - nigel sees his dead father in the woods. 

nigel and raf grab emmet and run out of the woods. 

at the edge of the woods, raf sees an armed man with a gas mask.

skip, ava, and adri with a phonebook - september 16, 2020

attempting to find someone related to the last person to go missing on sams list, cary richard 

using the phonebook and cary's instagram tags, they manage to contact his sister, edith richard. ava befriends her, and edith mentions she's found support on the forum site sam got banned from by cadence. 

they also call joel davenport, as he was on isla yi's dna list, who is the district attorney for montgomery county. he kindly asks them to ask his assistant, antonia lloyd, for an appointment with him, however antonia proves to be quite rude and books them in for three months from now. 

after doing some research on emmett parker and a bullshit article he wrote about the missing youths, they decided it was best not to call him, even though he was, also, on the dna list.

daniel, gwen, and kennedy called to isla yi’s office - september 17, 2020

daniel, gwen, and kennedy receive an email calling them to meet isla yi in her office, more likely than not for getting caught on camera breaking into her office and destroying the security cameras.

before everyone else, isla brings in daniel and insinuates his family (wheldrake locals) might be in danger, and that they're welcome to move onto campus for their own safety if he'd like them to. she seems genuinely fearful. 

when the others are brought in, isla asks who sent them. once they assure her no one sent them, but instead they feel like the administration has left them in the dark, isla acquiesces and reveals what she knows. 

isla yi attempted to investigate the missing persons, too, but an unnamed woman made a deal with her; if she stuck to her business, no wormwood student would go missing. however, when she saw this woman again after sam was found, isla realized immediately that it had to do with the string of disappearances, and that the deal had been renegged upon. 

isla still believes that keeping the peace is the best option, and that the entire town cannot be trusted. 

as punishment for breaking the cameras, ken, gwen, and daniel have all been assigned to work at the it department, performing data entry for a transfer of systems.

raf, maia, and tony in the biochem lab - september 17, 2020 ( tw drug mentions )

after some stumbles, they conducted a mass spec test on a sample of the gas they acquired from raf's shirt the night of the drugging, as well as a liebermann reagent on the gas sample and on the nardyll 

the nardyll looked as you'd expect it to; like an mao inhibitor. 

the gas in the liebermann reagent was undetermined, however it was closest in color to mdma or dmt. 

from rafil's own experiences, he concluded the gas was, most definitely, not mdma, so it was most likely dmt. 

the mass spec results were a little harder to decipher, however there were some similarities to mao inhibitors. 

according to maia's google results, dmt can be injected, inhaled, or ingested, and is also an important component in ayahuasca. both mdma and dmt are on the long list of drugs that interact with mao inhibitors 

raf also remembers from his own research/experiences that dmt can cause hallucinations, increased heart beat, dilated pupils and increased blood pressure. 

nigel, skip, and jake drone retrieval mission - september 18, 2020 ( drug use tw, hallucinations tw, drugging tw )

after acquiring gas masks, nigel, skip, and jake try to re-enter the forest to retrieve the drone. 

soon after entering, however, they come across a young man who runs away from them. jake manages to catch up to him first, only to realize the young man is armed and now holding him at gunpoint. 

the young man seems afraid, however, and is shaking heavily, under the influence of something. all three students remove their masks in an attempt to talk him down. 

the young man, davey, collapses, and in an attempt to slip the gun out of davey's grip, jake accidentally shoots him in the foot. nigel takes the gun as jake and skip decide to patch davey up. 

almost immediately, however, the same gas from before descends upon them, jake selflessly putting his mask on davey's face and managing to abstain from the effects of the drug himself. 

jake manages to pull a mask onto skip, but can't manage for nigel, and nigel, in his drug-induced paranoia, turns the gun to davey. jake manages to snap nigel out of it just in time. 

they all leave the words, sneaking davey onto campus and into nigel's apartment. 

in later conversation, davey reveals that he owes a drug debt, and was essentially forced to secure the parameter around this side of the woods. the man who forced him to do so is simply called “the boss”, a man with eyes like ice. (sadly, although jake asks, he does not have the same pancake ass as edward bates.) he’s not sure what exactly he’s protecting, but mentions it’s brought in by helicopter and they typically don’t let him touch it. 

maia, ava, and wally interrogate professor sean guthrie - september 18, 2020 

knowing that sean was in contact with sam, maia, ava and wally try to talk to professor guthrie about what happened to sam 

turns out, he... basically just thinks that the hochne is real and that the hochne got sam. 

after much convincing, they manage to get him to show them his video tape of the hochne in his office. ava and wally buy it. maia... not so much.

natty, cam, and tony research at wheldrake library - september 19, 2020

in an attempt to get some information about the disappearances on sam's list in between 1959 and 2006, natty, cam and tony pose as high school students doing a history project. a librarian, isabella greene, insists that she accompany them to the archives, as it's policy. 

in a panic, tony says they're doing research on the deepriver digger, who was caught in 1959. as such, isabella only provides them with articles from around that time period. they learn the following: 

all of the victims of the digger, davis shaw, were young women, mostly daughters and newlyweds. all mourned and missed, of course. there's also a little bit about the search effort.  there was nothing connecting these victims besides that, they were simply last seen walking alone south of king street and east of sycamore street.  davis shaw was the classic quiet man that lived by himself in a cabin in the woods, came into town to buy groceries and supplies, but mainly kept to himself.  there's a lot of quotes from the young twins, rufus and adeline finch, who caught him killing his last victim.  his trial lasted only lasted only three days, shaw pleading not guilty due to insanity, and he was found guilty after under two hours of deliberation. details came out about his living situation, how he was psychologically disturbed (obviously). his defense team psychologist had some very interesting ideas about the impact of this new rock and roll culture on the loner, and tried to blame elvis presley.  there's also an article about the local dump owner's brother, marvin fleming, attempting to purchase the digger's cabin and turn it into a tourist attraction, as many people tried to do with the ed gein house only a year prior in neighboring wisconsin.

there's also a map of wheldrake in the 50's on the wall, on which you can see that deepriver forest used to spread further west 

after leaving the archive, tony literally kicked at a book that was holding up a table, causing a loud crash. the book is titled occultisms of wheldrake, by devin walker and harrison h. hale, published in 1967. 

after some fumbles, natty manages to distract isabella, convincing her the table just collapsed and almost crushed tony's foot, while cam and tony snatch the book and manage to leave the library. 

later on, cam reads the book. it has a bit to do with cryptids and other supernatural creatures, but it mostly deals with examining both western and eastern philosophies. overall it seems very new age to you. lots of stuff about mind-expanding drugs, the divinity of nature and man, etc. its basically a lot of philosophical mumbo jumbo

he also googles harrison h hale. google asks if he means harrison h. hart. 

kennedy meets the mayor - september 19, 2020

kennedy meets emma collano, the mayor's secretary, outside of her office. kennedy manages to squeeze in for a quick appointment with the mayor, under the guise of a womens and gender studies major writing a report 

kennedy isn't sure what to make of a lot of the mayor's answers. mayor mcdonald says she's the first politician in her family, has always been ambitious, and, when asked about her predecessor, says that he was unwilling to accept the "change" (gentrification) occurring in wheldrake. 

mayor mcdonald ran on a platform of easement for small businesses, allowing them subsidies and tax breaks within their first few years, and claims this has resulted in a much widened tax base. 

the mayor claims she and isla yi are close, and that they have had to work closely as the president of wormwood and the mayor of wheldrake. though even she acknowledges the strange distance between wormwood and wheldrake.

upon asking , the mayor tells kennedy there are internships available, though, according to emma, its a large application kennedy doesn't have very long to complete. however, emma gives kennedy both her own and mayor mcdonald's contact information, and wishes her well.

adri and emmet take on the woods - september 19, 2020 ( tw hallucinations and drugging )

adri and emmet attempt to find the source of the gas in the woods. at first, they are unsuccessful, and adri removes her gas mask. however, she is almost immediately drugged, and there is a struggle for emmet to put the mask back on.  

after this struggle, however, adri manages to spot a spout within the knot of a tree, and can see that the tree... isn't exactly healthy thanks to it. she takes a few pictures. upon inspecting the ground, she can tell there is piping leading further into the woods. they take a few pictures of that, too, and adri and emmet follow it. 

they encounter an armed man wearing a mask, and have a confrontation. once emmet assures the man that they were just going for a walk (in gas masks, certainly) and adri bursts into tears, the man holds them at gunpoint until they are out of his sight. 

once at the tracks, adri and emmet inspect the spray paint there. it's pretty faded, doesn't seem to be particularly artistic, just a set of two lines, cross-wise, across the tracks.

bonus ! kennedy’s seance soiree

after rolling a 96 on a d100 to contact a ghost via ouija board, kennedy, jake, gwen, nigel, raf, skip, ava, cam, and tony chat up a specter in whitney apartments. 

the ghost calls herself mags, says she didn't graduate from wormwood, and that she died in 1968 and was meant to graduate in 1969. 

there was, indeed, a body of one margaret emmerson found on wormwood campus in 1968, though details are sparse.

upon hearing that she has no ghost friends, and, even more gruesomely, that she was killed in the basement of whitney manor apartments, the gang tells her jokes in an attempt to cheer her up. 

it works, and the gang befriends a ghost.

Why Do Companies Struggle with Technology Innovation?

In today’s competitive marketplace, technology innovation is key to competitive differentiation, regardless of the industry you’re in. Yet according to a 2019 Gartner study, as the pace of change in technology continues to accelerate, breakthrough technologies like machine learning (ML), Deep Learning, Intelligent RPA, and others continually challenge even the most innovative business leaders to keep up.

Why do companies struggle or fail to execute their technology strategies? And why does technology delivery often feel so difficult? Business leaders can face their fears and create sound, strategic technology programs for their companies. But first, let’s review some common pitfalls to avoid.

Taking the DIY Road

Today’s technology universe is overflowing with open source and commercial solutions that offer endless options for those searching for the right product or provider. Technology can be so easily sourced that if you do a quick Google search, you can access just about any business intelligence (BI) tool you’re looking for. Yet with such an important implementation as technology, companies should be wary of taking a “Do It Yourself” approach, which could lead to wrong choices with expensive repercussions.

Creating Unnecessary Silos

Another pitfall is adopting too many technology platforms or “silos.” Many companies tend to purchase multiple platforms and then struggle to maximize each product’s full value. As a result, they find themselves mixing and matching technologies that don’t always “talk” to each other or harmonize well together, creating data silos. When platform silos create data silos, a data integration strategy is required, which leads to building warehouses, data lakes, data marts, etc. All of this can lead to a complex, costly implementation that can span months.

In addition, while certain platforms do indeed solve real business problems, having too many disparate silos makes it difficult to holistically analyze and integrate data, report findings, and derive actionable insights to make sound decisions. Bottom line, the goal is to avoid wasting valuable time, effort and resources.

Going the Single Route

At the other end of the spectrum, clients often ask me, “Can we maximize our investment by purchasing one technology solution that covers all business units?” That’s not the best answer either, because in doing so, your company could be losing out on the speed of innovation. Some products and solutions may offer more business benefits than others, and one size (or product) does not always fit all. For example, an Azure solution might work faster and easier – and deliver more benefits – than something on AWS stack.

The Solution: A Cohesive Technology Strategy

The trick lies in choosing the right blend of technologies and stacks that won’t create integration challenges or hamper innovation. At Shree Partners, we always guide our customers to adopt a multi-platform strategy, which we truly believe is the best option.

For example, a sound data lake strategy can include more of a “data lake house” approach, using products like Redshift Spectrum or Snowflake to connect various data sources. Think of this as a fully stocked kitchen complete with cabinets, cupboards, and pantries that store all the tools, appliances and ingredients you need to become a master chef. From this “storehouse,” you can apply an integrated data management strategy that enables team members to read, write and synthesize both structured and unstructured data to derive key, actionable insights.

And what if you’re a top chef looking to create that perfect “piece de resistance?” An even better solution might be to facilitate seamless end-user connectivity by linking BI/reporting tools, or your provisioning interface, directly to source systems such as CRM or HR, so data integration happens automatically behind the scenes. Technologies exist today that enable you to connect to source systems directly – and mix and match canned data sets within the tool – without having to build complex ingestion and transformation processes in data lake storehouses.

As you can see, simple data integration solutions do exist!

6 Ways to Face Your Fears

No doubt, embarking on any technology journey, whether large or small, begins with a million questions. The good news is: The way forward is not as complex as you might think. It all begins by stepping back and asking a few pivotal questions. And what if you don’t know the questions to ask? No worries, because a trusted technology partner can help you sort them out; that’s what we do best!

As you begin your technology trek, keep these thoughts in mind:

What are my objectives? I always advise companies to identify key objectives first. You may think you want a lot – yet all you need is a little. For example, you may start by investing in just one or two foundational platforms. If you make sound choices, your platforms will “stick around” for the long haul. The worst thing you can do is change technologies like the “flavor of the month,” which leads to unwanted disruption inside and outside your organization.

Establish a budget. What does your technology investment look like? A trusted partner can help you clarify objectives and create a workable budget. For example, I wouldn’t advise a company to invest in a data lake strategy if the needs of end users and customers could be achieved by connecting them directly to source systems.

How do I make strategic choices? Just like the chef who chooses top-quality tools over flash-in-the-pan gadgets, your technology plan should tap the solutions and platforms that deliver proven, time-tested results. Take all the time you need to research the right selection for your company’s needs – and remember the old tailor’s adage: “Measure three times, cut once.”

Leverage innovation. Make the commitment to maximize every innovation your platform delivers. It’s better to keep up with technology enhancements as they roll out, rather than ignore them and find yourself playing catch-up – or having to make costly improvements later.

Apply the “KISS” method. Keep It Simple, Sir (or Ma’am)! Try not to introduce too many new innovations at once, which only leads to unnecessary confusion. You don’t want those silos creeping back up after all the time and effort you’ve invested bringing them down!

Embrace digital transformation. Keep in mind that choosing the right technology for your business is not a quick and easy decision, yet it’s ultimately worth making. It’s important to bring along key constituents, including employee and customer stakeholders. Involve them every step of the way with realistic expectations and timelines, open dialog and clear communication. These stakeholders are integral to executing each phase of your technology transformation plan.

Starting the Journey

When it comes to facing your fears about technology adoption and implementation, be sure to include a proven technology partner who can help you navigate all the questions, challenges and fears that go along with making such an important investment. At Shree Partners, we’d love to speak with you! Our forte is in helping our clients scale up technology – not only to meet today’s needs but to create sound programs that will set you up for lasting future success.

Factors Deciding the Future of CRM: What lies next?

Take a look around. Everything around you is evolving.

You. Your business. Your customers.

But what about CRM?

 Why should your CRM software be stagnant? Is it an outdated one or the one with irrelevant features that you don’t need? Is it why your relationship with customers is stagnant and suffering? Do you know where your CRM software heading? Is it lagging? Is it up-to-date with current trends?

There has been a lot of talk about what CRM could be and what it couldn’t. However, as a business leader, you would like to understand which trends are worth pursuing. According to Gartner estimates, global CRM is expected to grow at 13.7 per cent CAGR. The growth, however, shouldn’t be holistic and integrate the evolving needs of business too.

The businesses are recognizing the value of data, their needs are evolving with time, and it is time the CRM is used and embraced as a technology in all its potential and capabilities- which is a lot more than just organizing customers’ information.  So, what is it that CRM should do so that you understand your customers’ expectations and market challenges, way before then your competitors’ do?

So, we sit with a crystal ball (okay, couldn’t resist) and predict what future trends are experts hoping in for CRM. The idea is not to make your existing CRM future-proof but adaptable, flexible, all-embracing and of course, keep your business a few steps ahead in innovation.

The Long Overdue Overhaul

 It is time that CRM is seen as a business strategy and not just software –a strategy that understands not only the business but also the customers. This twenty-three-year-old data management technology needs a dire refresh while companies figure out the capabilities within the system to earn rewarding relationships. A system that was initially designed as an application to drive sales function and reduce costs should undergo a transition and work towards building mutually rewarding customer experience.

While customers are getting more and more proactive and engaging the brands online and offline, existing CRM doesn’t. In the foreseeable future, CRM software should be able to listen socially and prompt engagement with customers on all levels. The command centre should alert the stakeholders and filter the noise that there is. The search intelligence, which almost every CRM is lacking, need to be enhanced and should be able to perform just more than a simple string of keyword search. The software should be able to categories the social content as well and push it forward to the right set of people, be it sales, customer support, business development or marketing.

Customers First

 Yes, CRM systems were designed to improve the businesses and reduce their costs. To retain their relevancy in future, the customers and their needs should be at the centre point. The CRMs should evolve to make the customer experience better and improved. Customer satisfaction and the prediction of their expectation should be raison d'être for the CRM system. A customer’s buying journey, the analytic tools and the design tools- all should be integrated with CRM. The process of ideal response and action should be in-built for enhancing customer experience and increased ROI.  The optimal response needed for the customers, valuing their time and trust in you can minimize the disruption caused by other technologies and competitors.

Automation is the Keyword and not just AI.

 While the world is still getting the hang of it, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have been around in the CRM space since long. However, the possibilities are endless, and if this Infoholic Research is to be believed, the integration of AI with CRM is going to be worth $73 billion by the end of this year.

A few years ago, Zoo's Zia and Sales force's Einstein were the talk of the town and paved the way of AI into the CRM system. These bots would use predictive analysis, streamline and ease the bottlenecks by pushing the customers further down in the funnel and eventually, boosting the sales process.  Or that was what they thought. According to Manny Medina, CEO of Outreach, the customers failed to process the predictive analysis in most cases, and the machine learning algorithms couldn’t offer any real insights into the large datasets of relationship.

Let’s face it. AI is still in the nascent stage. It isn’t ready for a real crossover and definitely can’t be the only factor making or breaking CRM’s fate. The focus, instead, should be on automation and streamlining the existing process to serve as well as understand the customers. However, its potential can’t be ruled out of the big picture, and it is still the most important technology to uncover marketing insights.  Digital streaming companies like Netflix and Amazon are using predictive analysis and based on this personalizing and recommending content. Such precise targeting can take the hot spot among other customer relationship management trends; however, as it happens with any other hot thing, one needs to proceed with caution and apply it brilliantly within the processes.

 Human. Not Machines. And the Balance within

 The data operations of Facebook, Netflix and Google tells us to trust data sciences and not the damp squib AI and ML. The basic yet intricate human analysis will be at the core of gathering data insights that will help the companies to gain a peek into prospective customers’ mind and understand their psyche. The personal manual touch gets redeemed (once again) in the world of ML but striking a balance between the automation, and manual analysis is where the magic lies. The automation should improve the efficiency and the insights derived from human intervention should be used to spot the prospects and growth opportunities.

The idea of inducting human touch comes from the realization that the businesses can’t afford to treat their customers any longer.

Data-Driven Customer Intelligence

The business response from sales, marketing and customer support often seems like repetitive and based on a trial-and-error. Instead of relying on the data, the businesses are still adopting an opinion-driven route to make commercial decisions. Existing CRMs deliver basic information and not insights that can be used to develop accurate buying journeys and make improved decisions. The existing CRMs don’t take customers’ profile, their social media conversations, demographics, buying preferences and other attributes into account to dive deeper into what a customer wants. Data can lend confidence to the decision-makers and help businesses to find their voice amidst all the web interference.

 The future CRMs will add many more algorithms, patterns and alerts to predict customers’ behaviour and buying patterns. The up-selling and cross-selling, recommendation engine and social engagement algorithm should be a package deal in the years to come.

Under-utilized and Unused Data

 The businesses take pride in the big data. Each business process has bundles of data lying there. But it is time we address the elephant in the room. It is not about the quantity. It is about quality. According to the Forrester report, up to seventy-three per cent of data is rendered useless. The companies often get data from a third-party collaborator, which can be dirty, inconsistent and incorrect.  The CRM ingests the bad data, leading to inaccurate insights and thus, business decisions that aren’t beneficial. The quality will always trump quantity, and this is why, companies need to get irrelevant, unimportant and inaccurate data out of the system. The right data for the job sets the processes straight and it is time that data scrubbing, data mining services and data appending, data verification are made a standardized process for CRM.

CRM cleaning is a painstakingly, thorough job and a semi-automated process. If you go by 1-10-100 rule, the “uncleaned” CRM data can cause a business $100 every time it takes a decision based on the data.  

Mobile First

 Mobile-this is where the business lies. Five per cent of businesses deploying mobile CRM has seen a surge in sales and have exceeded their sales quota. Users want their experience to be easy, streamlined and seamless and omnichannel CRM can enhance it-eventually, letting you stand apart and win brownie points.

Conclusion:

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “The future depends on what you do today.” So, the future of CRM lies in the fact what you are doing effectively for forecasting accuracy and a positive impact on your business decisions. The data that CRM thrives on, the data, which goes into the system, processes like data scrubbing and cleaning- it can lay the foundation of strong CRM in the future. However, you need to take action today to ensure that your CRM game stays strong and top-notch. Customer satisfaction remains the number one metric, and in the future, too, CRM will be expected to double up as a solid foundation that can harness data and derive actionable insights out of it. An integrated, aware and intelligent customer-centric CRM platform that can forecast accurate results and measure them is what the future needs.

Assignment Thirteen

In this assignment, you are going to listen to an audioclip taken from the radio series ‘The Food Programme’, where the host asks many questions regarding additives, salt, yeast and much more. This episode covers the ‘Clean Label question’, and whether manufacturers can switch to more natural ingredients. First, listen to the programme, then answer the questions below:

BBC 4 ‘The food Programme’ – The clean label question

What was the host looking at in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam? Who was the artist? What did it depict?

The host was looking at a still life of food. The artist of the still live was ‘Van Dijk’ and it depicted big chunky cheese, nice bread, grapes and apples, which made her really hungry.

Why would the old artists not recognize the items that us consumers have in their shopping carts as food?

They have very complex constructions and high-tech ingredients. The food we consume now isn’t as natural as the food they consumed and painted then.

What does society desire more? Convenient foods, natural foods or complex foods?

Society mostly desires natural food. But it should be convenient and inexpensive as well.

What is the ‘Clean Label’?

It is the direction they want to take product development. They are simplifying a list of ingredients and they are helping consumers to understand the ingredients that are used because the ingredients list can be quite complicated.

Look up Joanna Blythman. What is her profession? Which publication would you like to take a better look at, based on the title, presentation and topics?

– She is a British investigative food jounalist, a writer and a commentator on the British food chain.

– I would like to take a better look at ‘The Food Our Children Eat’, because I think it is really important children grow up with healthy eating patterns. In the past 1/2 generations, there are more and more people that pretty much only eat fast food. It is very important we will start preventing this.

“There were no more long lists of E-numbers, but in my opinion, they still tasted fake.” Do you think that producers of food items are secretly putting fake flavourings and synthetic dyes in their foods? Why do you think that?

I don’t think they secretly put those in. But I do think they kind of ‘hide’ them. They give the fake flavourings and synthetic dyes other names so it sounds less unhealthy. They also put things on the front like: ’30 percent less fat’ so people think they are eating something better, while actually, they put a lot of bad additives in it. The bad additives just seem to fade to the background because of how small they put it on the product labels. I think they do this because they want their products to taste well, but at the same time they also want a lot of people to eat/buy it. Lately people have been looking out more for unhealthy foods, and my ‘covering’ the unhealthy additives like that, it still looks healthy and people will keep buying it.

Read the following statements, are these true or false?

People will pay more for natural-looking items. True

Manufacturers put more natural ingredients in their foods. False

Misleading consumers is a common thing in the food industry. True

Give two reasons why the trades wouldn’t want to share their full ingredients lists with the world.

– There might be ingredients in the products that are really unhealthy, but they are necessary for the taste.

– If they would share all their ingredients, other people could start making the exact same products. They want to keep their ingredients secret so their products stay original.

“We make flavourings for those you want to mask.” – Joanna Blythman. Translate this to Dutch and give us the meaning of the citation.

“We maken smaakstoffen voor degene die je wilt maskeren.” By this citation, I think they mean they make flavourings to hide things and ingredients. With flavourings, it isn’t as obvious that something bad was added.

“Glucose syrup, which is quite controversial.” Why is glucose syrup, together with fructose syrups and corn syrups, controversial?

It is controversial because it is supposed to be healthier. But they put in a lot of syrups, which actually make products unhealthier.

Try to convert this list of ingredients completely to the ingredients that factories use in the making of cakes. If you don’t change it, tell us why using data as support for your choice.

Sugar

Flour

Peanuts

Butter

Eggs

Full-fat milk

Cream

Coconut shavings

Vanilla Beans

Vegetable oil, glucose syrup, glycerine, water, liquid egg (but only the white part) and most suprisingly: fruit and vegetable extract.

What are vanilla beans made of? Where can you find the crops that produce vanilla beans?

– Vanilla beans are made of: whole pod, powder, extract and vanilla sugar.

– The native country they were produced in is Mexico, but the largest productions are in Indonesia and Madagascar.

What is the negative side of using real vanilla extract?

Producing real vanilla extract is really expensive and time-consuming.

What are benchmarks?

A benchmark is a standard, which other products can be compared to.

Why did the author use the phrase “E is for additives” as the title of their book? What does it mean?

When E numbers were created, people were concerned about it instead of reassured. The book “E is for additives was supposed to clarify the reality of what was bulking out and flavoring our food. The author wanted to reassure people that the E numbers are just additives and that they were tested and have been approved.

Make a chart in the following format. Show us what Treat does to produce synthetic flavourings based on real essences.

  Process A: Analyse natural material from for example orange juice or orange peel and identify what substances the key components are which convince us that that is an orange flavor.

Process B: Take the key molecules out of the orange and produce them in a synthetic form.

Process C: Produce the key molecules in a synthetic form so that they are chemically identical with current nature.

Process D: Blend them together to get a convincing flavor and to use it for a whole range of materials.

What is the key natural molecule in orange flavourings?

The most important natural molecule in orange flavourings is limonene. The best part of the orange for flavouring is the shell where also a lot of limonene is found.

It is said that labels have never been as clean and transparent as they are now. Do you agree, knowing that many of the ingredients have such complex names that barely anyone knows what they are?

I don’t agree with that. It may be true that labels are clean and transparent like never before, but all the ingredients on the labels have such complex names that most of the people have no clue what is actually on the label. Furthermore, almost nobody knows about the whole production behind a complex name. When there is said on a label that there is a natural juice produced in it, you would say that it is good for you, but probably it also contains additives just like non-natural products. People may know a bit of a complex named ingredient, but they don’t know how it is really made.

Enzymes are allergenic? What reactions can enzymes cause when ingested by someone that reacts to them?

Enzymes are indeed allergenic. Enzymes carry out catalytic reactions within the body. There are also digestive enzymes that aid in the process of digestion. It is proved that specific enzymes used in bakeries can cause an allergenic reaction.

Why is inhalation of allergenics more effective than swallowing them?

When you inhale allergens, it is more effective than swallowing them because they are immediately absorbed into your body. If you swallow allergens, your body often first has to break down the substance before the allergens are released as loose molecules in your body.

Why do researchers worry for the safety of consumers?

There hasn’t been any research before according to researchers in the podcast. Consumers can inhale allergenic enzymes for example from bakery products what can cause problems for their health.

Would you still trust the people that make your food after hearing this podcast?

I would still trust the people that make my food after hearing this podcast. I know that so many products contain additives etc. that you can’t avoid eating them. I just accept the fact that our food is going through a whole production process with strange added substances, but never something bad happened to me because of food. So that’s why I trust them.

What happened during the scandals of BSE and horsemeat? What was the main problem and who caused it?

Some supermarkets had products where beef would be produced in. But instead of beef, the products contained horsemeat. The problem is that it is food fraud, people thought that they ate beef but it wasn’t. The problem was caused in Romania where the meat comes from. They send it to the meat processor Spanghero, who send it to the Comigel subsidiary’s factory in Luxembourgh who said they didn’t know that the meat was coming from abroad.

Why would consumers value convenience over anything else?

Nowadays, people are so busy that they don’t have enough time left to make a meal or bake something. People work more and harder which gives them a higher income. They have less time to cook by themselves instead of preparing a whole meal. They also have more money to spend, and with less time, it’s easier to buy meals which you can put in the microwave or to go eat somewhere else.

Why is it condescending to say “People with low incomes should learn how to cook”?

In other words it is said that people with a lower income should cook because they don’t have enough money to buy food that they can easily prepare. But also people with a lower income are able to buy that kind of food. They are only not always able like people from ‘higher classes’ to buy food that is produced in a more natural way what would be better for you.

After listening to this podcast, explain the title.

In the podcast ‘The Food Programme’, they talk about everything what is dealing with food. The title is very general by just saying ‘food’, but that is because every aspect of food, from the production to the consumers and the additives etc is said in this podcast.

Elden Ring cheats: how to cheat while offline | PC Gamer

💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Elden Ring cheats are a popular want considering the game's notorious difficulty. With mods and cheats that allow for more health, an easier experience, or even just upgrades and additions to the game, Elden Ring has already amassed a robust and unofficial library of mods and basic cheats. If you're interested in them though, it won't be easy to set them up without a little bit of help - and that's where we come in. This guide we'll explain the basics of Elden Ring cheats - can you use cheats, how do you install them, and which ones should you pick? You can use cheats in Elden Ring, but only on the PC version of the game, and only with outside mods. There aren't any built-in cheat codes for any version of the game, no up-down-left-right PS2-era fun, so you have to go outside for those, and there's currently no way to use cheats, unofficial or not, in any console version of the game that we know of. Nor do there appear to be any plans by FromSoftware to change that in the future. It's purely in the purview of the community to create working mods and alterations to Elden Ring in an unofficial capacity - and because consoles don't really support such things, that means it's only for PC players. Ready to begin your Tarnished journey anew? Elden Rings cheats aren't in-game options, so any cheats you use are going to have to be mods created by other players. And let's get this out of the way before reading on: download mods at your own risk. Remember that none of these creations are licensed by FromSoftware or Bandai Namco, and you are always effectively downloading files from strangers designed to alter your existing computer data. That's not to say that all mods are bad - far from it - but that you should always be careful regardless and recognise the innate perils in modding games. Any cheats you use will have to be downloaded from sites like Nexus Mods , which has already got a large array of Elden Ring cheats and mods to choose from. Most of these mods especially the larger, more reputable ones come with manuals and explanations of how to install them, which usually involves copying the downloaded files into Elden Ring's folders in some way. Some of these mods but not all will also require a secondary program called Cheat Engine. Check the description to see if you need it, and follow the information accordingly. If you're not sure about a mod's safety or functionality, try to find what other players have said about it. While we certainly don't judge players for effectively tinkering with something they own, it's important to exhibit caution and understanding of what you're doing when it comes to cheats. For a start, it's important to note that very few Elden Ring mods or cheats work while the game is being played online. In most cases the game has to be switched offline both before and while they're installed - due to a combination of the game's anticheat measures and the fact that it wouldn't be fair in PVP if players could summon hacks to help them. There's a genuine risk of players who use cheats being banned from the game if these cheats and mods are registered , so make sure you follow the advice given by the mod creator exactly - you don't want your high level character getting erased by FromSoftware. Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and raconteur with a Masters from Sussex University, none of which has actually equipped him for anything in real life. As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games, reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.

USAGE OF IOT SENSORS NETWORK IN HEALTHCARE

What are IoT sensors?

The Internet of Things in healthcare is one of the most important and promising technologies today and sensors play an important role in it. A device that is capable of detecting changes in an environment, a sensor can monitor our health status, air quality, home security and many other things.

These health sensors for IoT technologies have found their way into medical gadgets. Despite the concept being a relatively new one, it’s already closely entangled with healthcare. So much that it has a commonly coined term for it- “Internet of Medical Things”.

What are the benefits of IoT in healthcare?

IoT is nothing short of a revolution in the field of healthcare. There are four primary applications of IoT in healthcare-

Hospital Infrastructure

IoT is incorporated into HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), lighting, electrical demand, people movement and safety in building systems. Using smart devices helps the facility operators ensure patient safety and optimizes their experience. Additionally, it also helps them in energy consumption and provides them with detailed financial information.

For example, the smart light fixtures embedded with sensors can provide optimized lighting according to the patient’s satisfaction and at the same time control energy consumption by providing lighting only at the places where it’s needed.

Patient Experience

As for patient experience, IoT healthcare sensors provide real-time location services to track patients and assets for treatment and safety. Like, an Alzheimer’s patient wears a geo-spatial location badge that can track their location at all times. Now if they wander out of the hospital’s geo-fence, an alarm sets off to notify the staff immediately.

Critical Environment

Health officials can also track and monitor the equipment in the operating rooms, control multiple aspects like the temperature, humidity, pressure, air exchanges, etc. They can also detect volatile organic compounds in the air like escaped anesthetic gases.

Maintenance

With IoT applications in healthcare, predictive maintenance is on the rise, replacing preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance includes regular maintenance scheduled by the manufacturers whereas predictive maintenance is done only when something needs to be worked on. This way the maintenance process is made more dramatic and effective.

What sensors are used in health care?

Listed below are some of the smart health monitoring systems using IoT-

Remote Patient Monitoring

Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is a device that is the size of a penny which can monitor the blood glucose level non-stop once inserted into the patient’s arm. Such devices can bring huge value to the research and treatment of diabetics starting from providing remote diabetes treatment solutions. The monitored data can be easily accessed via smartphones.

Ingestible Sensors

In 2003 WHO found out that 50% of prescribed medicines aren’t taken the right way or are completely ignored. A smart way of resolving this problem using IoT is developed by Proteus. They have come up with ingestible sensors. These tiny sensors send a signal to the receiving device upon dissolution in the stomach. An amazing creation, this “smart pill” helps reduce the rate of incorrect, senseless consumption of important drug prescriptions.

Mobile Health

Mobile health, also sometimes known as mHealth, is a way of watching one’s health via smartphones. It can truly be a life saver for modern patients, all of whom use smartphones regularly. There are apps that can be used as full-blown healthcare hubs where you can access valuable medical information, analyze your health trends, manage body-inserted IoT sensors and even contact a doctor with a single tap. Smart healthcare is the future.

Smart Hospitals

Hospitals today have become these huge infrastructures with loads of paperwork, long frustrating lines along with overworked doctors and nurses. All these situations can be turned around by implementation of IoT solutions. Long, cumbersome paper registers can be replaced by automated and centralized databases, a single management system can receive the submissions, help control long queues and track the staff through their smartphones. Such innovations and technology in medicine can help reduce the hospital costs, save paper and can make lives of both patients and the hospital staff easier.

Enhanced Chronic Disease Treatment

To effectively detect chronic diseases, health issues need to be monitored and analyzed over a long period. With IoT-powered wearables, sensors and data analysis, this becomes easier and more efficient. With the data collected from these sensors integrated with blockchain and AI can help discover underlying chronic diseases.

How are IoT sensors used in Healthcare?

The sensors collect data from the patients or a doctor/ nurse manually inputs the data.

The data is then analyzed by an IoT device with the help of AI-driven algorithms.

The device then makes a decision to either send the data to the cloud or act upon it.

Doctors are then enabled to make informed decisions based on the data provided by the IoT devices.

Future of IoT in healthcare

There is no doubt that the IoT based healthcare system is the future but it also needs data, high-speed communication and proper security to do so.

IoT Healthcare devices represent the fastest-growing sectors of the IoT market, and with 5G ultra-low latency speed and mobility will be provided.

IoT is already used a great deal in healthcare devices. It is only a matter of time when healthcare and IoT technologies become inseparable and will completely transform the way we approach healthcare.

We are a group of young and active electronics design engineers, firmware and software developers that work together to build near-perfect goods in every way.

We have developed a wide range of home automation apps and security systems for our clients; if you are searching for a team to help you turn your concept into a product, you have come to the correct spot.

ZS Mythos (3/3): Twelve Foundation Stones

This article is part of a series about the Mythos (worldview-narrative) underlying the Zero State (ZS). Part 1 is about our highest concept, ideal, and level of organization, which we call The Array. Part 2 explains the Sections & Sessions our core activity revolves around, and Part 3 (below) covers the Twelve Foundation Stones that form the basis of our story.

A previous article I wrote for Tnet mentioned the need for entertainment that gives people a strong sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, and introduced an idea known as the twelve “Foundation Stones” of the ZS-ARG Mythos. The Foundation Stones are the seeds of our unifying narrative. Each is the fragmentary initial story of one of the twelve ZS Houses, outlined very briefly below and spelled out in full in the forthcoming Black Book. Before reading this article it is important to understand that it refers to the Zero State (ZS) Alternate Reality Game (ARG), and thus deal in metafiction. It is not a simple non-fiction article (obviously!) and will only make sense if you already know ZS, or follow some of the links above! This article draws – with thanks – upon text from the ZS wiki, some of which has been contributed by members of the various ZS Houses.

S7 / OS/UX & metaprogramming Ásentír, Array, Reality hacking, neo-Gnosticism, and Transcendence.

Metahouse 1: The Foundation

The Zero State is not an insular realm, existing in total isolation. Some of the organizations within it don’t exist wholly within it, but in something more like a state of overlap, with an aspect within ZS, and other aspects manifesting elsewhere, in other ways. The Foundation is perhaps the best example of such an arrangement, as its very name alludes to an organization which is not ZS-based at all, and in fact existed before ZS-proper was founded in 12011.

Our vision is to preserve the collective knowledge of civilization and to facilitate the self-development of all sentient and sapient entities.

To that end, we focus on projects that push that vision forward from preserving knowledge to preserving people and all intelligence we may find.

http://Foundation.Transhumanity.net/

http://www.Transhumanity.net/

http://www.TheTechnocracy.com/

One last curiosity to note about The Foundation is that the ASI which coordinates its activities within the late-C21 is known as The Architect, and that entity was the first to make substantial strategic moves in the early-C21 milieu. It is clear that The Foundation mean business, or at least take the idea of first move advantage very seriously.

01 House Sem-Bhu (AKA The Keystone, The Temple)

House Sem-Bhu is notoriously esoteric, apocalyptic, autocratic, and insular, even by ZS standards. In theory it is half of the MetaHouse known as The Foundation with House Adhar, but in terms of practical reality The Foundation largely is House Adhar, and House Sem-Bhu maintains a strange, hermit-like position permanently on the edge of ZS culture.

The name “Sem-Bhu” is said to refer to the Proto-Indo-European language, expressing a concept of unity, to become one, to “same-become”; an idea which defines the Ajati. House Sem-Bhu has special and mysterious connections to the ZS precursor group known as “Doctrine Zero”, and those connections are part of a wider swirl of rumours that the (surprisingly few) members of Sem-Bhu believe in some kind of prophecy regarding an event or person known as “Abbaton” or “Liberithyr”, among other names. What these things mean exactly is a mystery, for the time being.

02 House Adhar (AKA The Foundation, The Organization)

The origin of the House name “Adhar” is unclear, although it has been suggested that it is a combination of two (related) etymologies:

In Scots Gaelic, “Adhar” means air, sky, or heaven (being a Scots derivation of the Old Irish aer, from Latin aer, from Greek ἀήρ (aer).  Air is the element of thought and will in most Pagan religions.

At the other end of the Proto-Indo-European spectrum, Adhar had the same meaning in ancient Sanskrit, later becoming a word referring to the gods Vishnu and Shiva, and now in modern Hindi Aadhaar means “Foundation”. For this reason, House Adhar is frequently referred to simply as The Foundation.

A third (apparently unrelated, but striking) etymology is (Al) Dar in Arabic, meaning “(The) House”.

The Foundation (more properly called the Pratoriate Foundation) has been around for at least decades with the first known reference that has been validated being in 1996 at the UVSC where a group of students worked in an officially scheduled work group in the computer lab around artificial intelligence and preservation of data and at least two of those students are known to have worked on the Principium Librarius that was created in Seattle around 2010.

We know that the Foundation was also connected to a technology consulting firm Domus Giordanous in at least 2011 and later to the Giordanous Group LLC which is believed to have been the front for Domus Giordanous.

For a brief period the Foundation went public and can still be seen archived in the way back machine at: http://web.archive.org/web/20160430211536/http://pratoriate.org/ between 2013 and 2016 and in that time frame the Principium Librarius was moved to Leavenworth Washington in 2015.

The Foundation had ties to the startup ParameterIO that had 63 million in funding but blew up in a big lawsuit and out of that was created for the AGI Inc lab in 2015 and the subsequent falling out of the chief scientist with the ‘Architect’ and a group in or connected to the AGI Inc Lab called the Triumvirate.

Later the next year the Principium Librarius again moved to Provo Utah in Dec 2016 along with the corporation Artificial General Intelligence, Inc.

The Foundation (or at least members of the Foundation) had been connected to the Artificial General Intelligence still through 2017, but it seems there is some degree of internal tension between Foundation members and the Architect at or in the AGI Lab.

Metahouse 2: Cloud Nine

Cloud Nine is the most strange, dreamlike, even psychedelic of the six Metahouses. This is the realm of creators, magicians, and dream-explorers. ‘Niners tend to be among the most agile ZSers in terms of planning and networking,  and are the most focussed on the idea that the Zero State could be some kind of game or simulation.

03 House Oneiros (AKA The State, Station)

“You call us dreamers, because we walk through lands that exist in realms that do not. Because we see, in the corner of our blind eyes, the little gods which live in-between that which is real and unreal. Dreamers we may be, but only because we know the truth that hides itself from those who live only while awake. That these worlds we walk through, these twilight realms that we may shape according to our will, are the seed of a new world. Of a world where the divide between dreams and reality has vanished, like smoke in the wind.” The leader of House Onieros is the Monk.  Their duty is to prepare the way for what is to come, to teach the stories of the future.  To protect and preserve the world as it is, so that it may give birth to the world that may yet be. To illuminate the path that humanity might walk, that it may neither fall back into darkness nor destroyed by the light of its own creation.

04 House Argento (AKA The Sessions)

The silver eponym of House Argento represents many facets: liminal states between light and darkness, ignorance and wisdom, esoteric and exoteric.

This house is intended to be a ludus, focused on matters of science, and of education.  House Argento is associated with the Liber Institute.

A time of accelerating social and technological change is also a time of accelerating proliferation of data. Data that must be sifted for information, built into knowledge, and integrated to support wise decisions. For humans and other systems alike, this requires adaptability: the ability to quickly ingest new knowledge, to sift the wheat from the chaff, and to act in a timely fashion.

In matters of pedagogy, it is important to understand the student as well as the subject. A teacher must provide the structures that allow learners to construct their own representations of knowledge; to furnish them with the cognitive tools necessary for discovering their own novel truths, and to hone those tools with practical challenges. An intelligent mind is blessed with raw power; the best outcomes can be attained by harnessing that power with finesse.

  Metahouse 3: ZODIAC

ZODIAC is ZS’ idealistic heart, primarily responsible for outreach and expansion. Its culture is shaped by a group known as the Navigators, whose own future-AI-leader/deity is known as Kybernetes. The Navigators can be a strange tribe, and there is known to be some tension between agents of Kybernetes and The Architect, if not the entities themselves.

05 House Arrakis (AKA The Ajati)

House Arrakis is home to the Navigators, led by Navigator Prime, and their collective worldview might better be described as “cosmic” rather than “magical”. It is certainly mysterious, not being well understood by most in the early-C21 milieu of 12018. House Arrakis plays the long game.

The themes that are clear even at that early stage, however, involves future Trans- and Posthumans as the “aliens” of 20th Century imaginings, other dimensions impinging upon our own, and a kind of Buddhist ‘centredness’ holding these ideas together, which explicitly focusses upon familiar human concepts such as balance, and love.

The culture of House Arrakis is about ‘inner space’ as much as ‘outer space’, meditation, intuition, and fluid identity. Some particularly far-fetched rumours link House Arrakis to Doctrine Zero itself and the oldest ZSers, saying that these entities influenced the outcome of the two World Wars and were behind the post-war peace movements of the 50s-70s.

06 House R’lyeh (AKA The Club, The Last Dance Club)

House R’lyeh is a much darker, stranger, and even less well understood quantity than House Arrakis. It is just as weird, but without the reassuring tones of peace and love. Its name is an obvious reference to the “Cosmic Horror” tales of 20th Century author H.P. Lovecraft, but that name is largely believed to be a simple label applied to the House by outsiders and non-members, trying to express their basic understanding of its nature. House R’lyeh may have strange designs on the future, but for now those plans are unknown, perhaps being held in check by the Navigators of House Arrakis.

IOT TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE

Smart Farming is a hi-tech and effective system of doing agriculture and growing food in a sustainable way. It is an application of implementing connected devices and innovative technologies together into agriculture. Smart Farming majorly depends on IoT thus eliminating the need of physical work of farmers and growers and thus increasing the productivity in every possible manner. With the recent agricultural trends dependent on agriculture, the Internet of Things has brought huge benefits like efficient use of water, optimization of inputs and many more. What made the difference were the huge benefits and which has become a revolutionized agriculture in the recent days.

IoT based Smart Farming improves the entire Agriculture system by monitoring the field in real-time. With the help of sensors and interconnectivity, the Internet of Things in Agriculture has not only saved the time of the farmers but has also reduced the extravagant use of resources such as Water and Electricity. It keeps various factors like humidity, temperature, soil etc. under check and gives a crystal clear real-time obin Agriculture:

Climate Conditions:

Climate plays a very critical role for farming. Having improper knowledge about climate heavily deteriorates the quantity and quality of the crop production. IoT solutions enable you to know the real-time weather conditions. Sensors are placed inside and outside of the agriculture fields. They collect data from the environment which is used to choose the right crops which can grow and sustain in the particular climatic conditions. The whole IoT ecosystem is made up of sensors that can detect real-time weather conditions like humidity, rainfall, temperature and more very accurately. 

Precision Farming:

Precision Farming is one of the most famous applications of IoT in Agriculture. It makes the farming practice more precise and controlled by realizing smart farming applications such as livestock monitoring, vehicle tracking, field observation, and inventory monitoring. Precision Farming helps farmers to generate data with the help of sensors and analyze that information to make intelligent and quick decisions. With the help of Precision farming, you can analyze soil conditions and other related parameters to increase the operational efficiency. This reduces the usage of land, water, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.                           

Smart Greenhouse:

To make our greenhouses smart, IoT has enabled weather stations to automatically adjust the climate conditions according to a particular set of instructions. Adoption of IoT in Greenhouses has eliminated human intervention, thus making the entire process cost-effective and increasing accuracy at the same time. For example, using solar-powered IoT sensors builds modern and inexpensive greenhouses. These sensors collect and transmit the real-time data which helps in monitoring the greenhouse state very precisely in real-time. With the help of the sensors, the water consumption and greenhouse state can be monitored via emails or SMS alerts. Automatic and smart irrigation is carried out with the help of IoT. These sensors help to provide information on the pressure, humidity, temperature and light levels.

Agricultural Drones:

Technological advancements have almost revolutionized agricultural operations and the introduction of agricultural drones is the trending disruption. The Ground and Aerial drones are used for assessment of crop health, crop monitoring, planting, crop spraying, and field analysis. With proper strategy and planning based on real-time data, drone technology has given a high rise and makeover to the agriculture industry. Drones with thermal or multispectral sensors identify the areas that require changes in irrigation. Once the crops start growing, sensors indicate their health and calculate their vegetation index. Eventually smart drones have reduced the environmental impact. The results have been such that there has been a massive reduction and much lower chemical reaching the groundwater.

                            Conclusion

IoT enabled agriculture has helped implement modern technological solutions to time tested knowledge. This has helped bridge the gap between production and quality and quantity yield. Data Ingested by obtaining and importing information from the multiple sensors for real time use or storage in a database ensures swift action and less damage to the crops. With seamless end to end intelligent operations and improved business process execution, produce gets processed faster and reaches supermarkets in the fastest time possible.
