Understanding Blur Crypto
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a type of crypto technology that works via blockchains. In a nutshell, an NFT is a token that is not able to be spent like currency, instead, it acts as a certificate of ownership of a digital file.
NFTs are bought and sold similarly to collectibles, but instead of owning something tangible, NFT ownership is displayed via blockchain to show that a person is the owner of a particular file. In most cases, this will be a piece of artwork, and the owner doesn’t own the actual art, but they do have ownership over the original digital file of the art.
Enter Blur Crypto
Blur Crypto is a marketplace for NFTs with no fees and fast swapping of NFTs. You can check the price of BLUR, the platform’s token, by following a BLUR price feed API hosted on an exchange or crypto news site. A BLUR price feed API can connect with exchanges to display updated price information for the BLUR token, allowing investors with a stake in BLUR to decide when to buy, sell or hold.
Advantages of BLUR Crypto
As mentioned above, Blur Crypto allows for fast swapping of NFTs, making it a great choice for serious NFT traders and investors. The ability to quickly swap, buy, sell and trade, NFTs is a requirement for investors who deal with daily transactions.
Blur Crypto also has its own unique “tokenomics”, a system by which BLUR is distributed. Under this system, 51% of BLUR is allocated to the community, 29% goes to contributors, 19% is left for investors and 1% goes to advisors. Many feel that this is an equitable distribution scheme that provides a fair outcome for all in the Blur Crypto community.
The Blur Crypto marketplace also features a “trending” tab that displays popular NFTs. This helps buyers and investors learn about opportunities and helps sellers gain a better understanding of the value of their collections.
Disclaimer: The above is not investment advice. Always consult a financial advisor before investing in cryptocurrencies or other investments.

If you like what you see sign up for more ideas and deeper analysis using this Get Premium link.
After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with one week left in October, saw equity markets with continued strength.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its short term consolidation while Crude Oil continues in an uptrend. The US Dollar Index to pullback in the short term uptrend while US Treasuries consolidate in the downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue to mark time in a broad range while Emerging Markets pullback in a long term uptrend.
The Volatility Index looks to remain very low making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. The charts of the SPY and QQQ continue to look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe the QQQ looks in for a pause. The IWM remains stuck in broad consolidation but with some positive progress at the top of the recent range. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

I Just Be Finding Stuff🕵🏾♀️
I don't know how I wind up where I do sometimes, this whole internet thing. But I be trying to crack the case I guess, steadfast on that mf’er. I know Twin was or is on low vibrations, that's also how I know I be right. All Im going to note is Decatur274. Im not going to elaborate more than that. And Id like to also remind myself with this its not to remember and start fights, its just really to prove I was right. I knew it then so its no point in blocking mf’ers now. The only part that fucks with me, is just thinking about that Blk BITCH( yea he’s that of this moment) and how I was so naive to let him play me the way he did. My imagination is running with me right now.... I saw who Africa is. Not mad at her, but the way she puts herself out there I can only imagine what was up, especially knowing the two men. It breaks my heart that niggas can not give a fuck the way they do, just totally disregard you as a person and your heart. Assume that Im like many of these other women who happen to be in their circles, that they attract by their own way the carry themselves. Just the pain and hurt that keeps getting recycled in our community. To think that I was involved though I wasn't. Its only the plans of the Universe I guess to keep me from turning into a Blk Bitch myself. Im sure I could be a powerful one. Its amazing as I sit here and type this up. I just thought about the card Im studying in the tarot deck. I didn't think that I was at this stage. I thought I had passed this already in my growth. But the card calls forth this energy I see. I know the Aleister Crowley deck is definitely said to be powerful and I believe it cause [THAT] mf’er went craaaaaaaazy. Anyway its the 5 of Wind. It talks about a crossroad, being broken down and deciding whether to go right or left. Become better for it or worse. I feel that energy in my heart. Like should I continue to hold space for this guy. I picked up from jump that he was similar to my ex. Ive wondered was their energy the same, like spiritually is that him. I remember him texting me after I decided to leave him, “I know you're leaving but where are you going”. That was spooky right. One of the many things he's said to me. Of the things Ive read about myself my spirit is ready to have these mystical experiences. Im awake. This is the dark side, the torture of your spirit that you can't put your hand on. The hell you are trying to get away from, but it continues to find you. But I don't think so , they are not the same. He was just my false twin, he tricked me by my own desires. So I tricked me. Thats why your intuition is important to listen to and not just try to reason things with your mind. My intuition told me and has told me many times. This is where you can be scared and scared of yourself, because you put you there. Is he really my twin? I know he is, thats not really a question, but the sate that he’s in is disturbingly similar to what Ive already experienced.
I was studying our chart as Ive been doing looking at our nodes. He’s a skipped step. I don't know if that really means what's done is now done. Is this the way we wrote it to go. I think all these things in the sky have been happening for us. Maybe not just for us, but we are apart of what's going on. Last year was me with all the changes that happened in the summer, now its his turn. Once Saturn came into Capricorn, it still will be time until all will be ready because healing has to happen. He's just started to realize things. Should this be the time I am suppose to be working on forgiveness, with all the discovery or downloads Im receiving. Its all hurtful but I can't or haven't let a tear drop down from my eye. Im so tired of crying about these men. they are just aggravating to me. Their whole attitudes are just a piece of shit. It seems to be because of Twins upbringing which has something to do with abuse, probably like I said a narcissistic mother, has kept him from being able to recognize me as his Twin. I could only imagine witnessing the relationship between a son and his narcissistic mother. It was hurtful to be around. It turned me in ways just being around her. I know its tough and I know he will need time to heal. Sometimes I think of this time while he heals my fun time. I remember an oracle saying “ she will be ok being alone until he is ready”, right when she said it I knew that was me. My heart is with him, so its not available to any other guy, but I still desire companionship. I hate that Twin sensed that... Im talking to this guy I met from the UK online, he may have some money so we’ll see if that goes anywhere. Meaning only that maybe we can actually hang, he can come to the states sometime and maybe me there...Fun! And I don't have to worry about anyone growing feelings trying to wife me, Im already someones wife. But anyway back to our charts.... It seems we've been living this cycle, finding each other, but unable to let each other go, so we stay in this toxic cycle lifetime after lifetime. After so much this time I had had enough after encountering that blk angel. Although he was a piece of shit, he came into my life to take me on a ride, drag me that way to break me, he did everything he could and he succeeded. I remember thinking that he was NOT going to break me, then he did. I could no longer take anymore of the abuse. What was my ego trying to prove, that I was badder? I am a bad bitch, but not for those reasons, I finally had to admit. And for it, here I am now. I still had to fight after him there was a little stubbornness in me left. My Twin purged it because of the love I had for him. I didn't love the Blk angel, or I wasn't in love, or whatever. It wasn't the love I have for my twin, for myself. I guess he couldn't do that. Twin’s been doing this whole thing with me and other women lifetime after lifetime, because his experiences at home and because of my upbringing I couldn't walk away, so we stayed in this cycle until now. I think of the Walking Dead show and when I even think I could be angry at him wonder how I could justifiably do so when he was asleep, just as I was until I woke up. I only woke up first. I was apart of the cycle too. I could go on, but I just know I love him and really thats all there is for us. None of the other stuff really matters. This has been a love story of lifetimes. I just thought of my old screen saver...tru love stories never have endings. We have been in and out of each others lives for lifetimes, but because our love is really tru we are always drawn back to each other. It is a love that only another Twin may understand. I am deeply in love with him. I know what [in love] means now. I see our life together moving forward when he shows up. He knew who I was while Ive been wondering. He didn't know he knew or understood how he knew that I was his wife. How could we when we had just woken up from a dream. the dream of all the lies that we had been living. Now we are about to paint a new picture together that will shatter all lifetimes before us, because we will truly be together.
I know others may not understand this... the world is not what you think.

Stocks To Watch: Time To Connect The Dots

Stocks To Watch: Time To Connect The Dots
Welcome to Seeking Alpha’s Stocks to Watch – a preview of key events scheduled for the next week. Follow this account and turn the e-mail alert on to receive this article in your inbox every Saturday morning.
There are two monster meetings on the agenda next week that could shake things up for investors now officially stuck in a stock market correction. The Federal Reserve’s policy makers meet from December 18-19 in the U.S., while China’s leaders are expected to gather December 19-21 to hold their annual economic policy-setting meeting. The overwhelming consensus of economists is that the Fed is likely to raise its benchmark interest rate by a quarter-point to a range of between 2.25% and 2.50% and that the closely-watched dot plot will indicate two rate hikes in 2019. If there is going to be any sort of drama out of the Fed event, it will probably occur during Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s last presser of the year. Meanwhile, the word from Beijing is that pro-growth measures will be fired off during the economic meeting and more signs of “opening up” markets will be showcased. It’s possible that the two events could cool off anxiety over global growth, interest rates and tariffs – but in a year of wildcards we’re not taking any bets. There is also the matter of that little government shutdown that could arrive next week, although it’s being categorized in large part as political theater more than an actionable trading event.
Notable earnings reports: Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and Red Hat (NYSE:RHT) on December 17; Micron (NASDAQ:MU), Carnival (NYSE:CCL), Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI), FedEx (NYSE:FDX) and Navistar (NYSE:NAV) on December 18; General Mills (NYSE:GIS), Pier 1 Imports (NYSE:PIR), Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX) and Winnebago (NYSE:WGO) on December 19; Nike (NYSE:NKE) and BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) on December 20; CarMax (NYSE:KMX) on December 21. See Seeking Alpha’s Earnings Calendar for the complete list of earnings reporters.
IPOs expected to begin trading: Aptorum on December 18.
IPO lockup expirations: Eidos Therapeutics (NASDAQ:EIDX) on December 17; I3 Verticals (NASDAQ:IIIV), Magenta Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MGTA), Avrobio (NASDAQ:AVRO), Essential Properties Realty Trust (NYSE:EPRT), Kezar Life Sciences (NASDAQ:KZR) and Xeris Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:XERS)on December 18.
Analyst quiet period expirations: Taiwan Liposome (TLC), Tiziana Life Sciences (NASDAQ:TLSA) and TuanChe (NASDAQ:TC) on December 17.
Projected dividend changes (quarterly): Fifth Third (NASDAQ:FITB) to $ 0.22 from $ 0.18, Lamb Weston (NYSE:LW) to $ 0.195 from $ 0.1913, Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) to $ 0.36 from $ 0.34, ABM Industries (NYSE:ABM) to $ 0.180 from $ 0.175, Andersons (NASDAQ:ANDE) to $ 0.170 from $ 0.165, Cantel Medical (NYSE:CMD) to $ 0.10 from $ 0.085.
60 Minutes: CBS (NYSE:CBS) says the news show will broadcast a report on Sunday night about opioid makers, distributors and manufacturers. Keep an eye on McKesson (NYSE:MCK), AmerisourceBergen (NYSE:ABC), Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH), Mallinckrodt (NYSE:MNK), TEVA Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:TEVA), AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV), Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE:RDY), Insys Therapeutics (NASDAQ:INSY), Endo International (NASDAQ:ENDP), Reckitt Benckiser Group (OTCPK:RBGLY) among others if any sharp elbows are thrown.
Capitol Hill watch: An early test of Senate Republicans’ desire to talk about marijuana reform arrives next week when Senator Cory Gardner attempts to attach the States Act to the criminal justice reform bill. It’s possible some marijuana-related names such Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) and Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) could be active if the GOP senators tip their hands.
GM pressure cooker: While shares of General Motors (NYSE:GM) continue to sputter along on headline risk, analysts see upside down the road. There’s Deutsche Bank pointing to deep corporate restructuring and industry consolidation as potential GM catalysts, as well as Bank of America Merrill Lynch saying the current dividend is likely safe. If the automaker can turn around the political broadsides it’s taking on the focus could turn to long-term initiatives such as the autonomous EV fleet (Cruise Automation + Bolts), car sharing (Maven) and connectivity (OnStar).
M&A tidbits: First-round bids are due in on Campbell Soup’s (NYSE:CPB) Arnott’s business before Christmas. Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC), Mondelez International (NASDAQ:MDLZ) and Ferrero are reported to be interested in the biscuits brand. Shareholders at Enbridge Energy Partners (NYSE:EEP) and Enbridge Energy Management (NYSE:EEQ) will vote on the merger on December 17. The $ 2.1B acquisition of Endocyte (NASDAQ:ECYT) by Novartis (NYSE:NVS) goes to a vote on December 20. Medtronic’s (NYSE:MDT) acquisition of Mazor Robotics (NASDAQ:MZOR) is expected to close on December 21. Sprint (NYSE:S) and T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) expect to land U.S. security clearance approval next week for their planned combination.

Guidance update: Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) has an investor community meeting set for December 19. The company will update its 2019 guidance expectations during the meeting. Shares of Eli Lilly are up 36% YTD.
FDA review deadlines: Pdufa dates arrive this week on Shire’s (SHPG, OTCPK:SHPGF) prucalopride NDA and Jazz Pharmaceutical’s (NASDAQ:JAZZ) solriamfetol NDA.
JV talk: Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) is scheduled to discuss its agreement to form the Wodgina Lithium joint venture in Western Australia during a webcast presentation on December 17.
Strategy talk: Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) is scheduled to host an Enterprise Strategy conference call on December 17.
Banking updates: Credit card charge-offs and delinquencies reports are due in on December 17 from Alliance Data Systems (NYSE:ADS), American Express (NYSE:AXP), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Capital One Financial (NYSE:COF), Discover Financial (NYSE:DFS), JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF).
Box office: Sony (NYSE:SNE)/Marvel feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is expected to dominate the weekend box with a projected haul of $ 40M, while Warner Brothers’ The Mule is forecast to bring in $ 17M. At the end of next week, the Christmas/New Year’s rush launches with Aquaman (Warner Bros.), Bumblebee (Paramount), Second Act (STX Entertainment), Welcome to Marwen (Universal) and Cold War (Amazon Studios) arriving in theaters. The U.S. box office is up 10.1% YTD through December 12.

60 Minutes: CBS (NYSE:CBS) says the news show will broadcast a report on Sunday night about opioid makers, distributors and manufacturers.

Capitol Hill watch: An early test of Senate Republicans’ desire to talk about marijuana reform arrives next week when Senator Cory Gardner attempts to attach the States Act to the criminal justice reform bill.

Sprint (NYSE:S) and T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) expect to land U.S. security clearance approval next week for their planned combination.

CEO Joseph Truitt and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Stephen Zelenkofske will present the company’s 2019 development plans along with interim data on Phase 2 clinical trials in PNH and C3G as well as initial Phase 1 data on Achillion’s next generation factor D inhibitors.
Guidance update: Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) has an investor community meeting set for December 19. The company will update its 2019 guidance expectations during the meeting. Shares of Eli Lilly are up 36% YTD.

The U.S. box office is up 10.1% YTD through December 12.

Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Bank of America (BAC), BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF), and Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), Energy Transfer (NYSE:ET) and Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) all make the list. Other stocks singled out as potential market outperformers next year include PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), Visa (NYSE:V), Mastercard (NYSE:MA), NextEra (NYSE:NEE) and Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT).

Stocks To Watch: Time To Connect The Dots
New Post has been published on http://webhostingtop3.com/stocks-to-watch-time-to-connect-the-dots/
Stocks To Watch: Time To Connect The Dots
Welcome to Seeking Alpha’s Stocks to Watch – a preview of key events scheduled for the next week. Follow this account and turn the e-mail alert on to receive this article in your inbox every Saturday morning.
There are two monster meetings on the agenda next week that could shake things up for investors now officially stuck in a stock market correction. The Federal Reserve’s policy makers meet from December 18-19 in the U.S., while China’s leaders are expected to gather December 19-21 to hold their annual economic policy-setting meeting. The overwhelming consensus of economists is that the Fed is likely to raise its benchmark interest rate by a quarter-point to a range of between 2.25% and 2.50% and that the closely-watched dot plot will indicate two rate hikes in 2019. If there is going to be any sort of drama out of the Fed event, it will probably occur during Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s last presser of the year. Meanwhile, the word from Beijing is that pro-growth measures will be fired off during the economic meeting and more signs of “opening up” markets will be showcased. It’s possible that the two events could cool off anxiety over global growth, interest rates and tariffs – but in a year of wildcards we’re not taking any bets. There is also the matter of that little government shutdown that could arrive next week, although it’s being categorized in large part as political theater more than an actionable trading event.
Notable earnings reports: Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and Red Hat (NYSE:RHT) on December 17; Micron (NASDAQ:MU), Carnival (NYSE:CCL), Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI), FedEx (NYSE:FDX) and Navistar (NYSE:NAV) on December 18; General Mills (NYSE:GIS), Pier 1 Imports (NYSE:PIR), Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX) and Winnebago (NYSE:WGO) on December 19; Nike (NYSE:NKE) and BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) on December 20; CarMax (NYSE:KMX) on December 21. See Seeking Alpha’s Earnings Calendar for the complete list of earnings reporters.
IPOs expected to begin trading: Aptorum on December 18.
IPO lockup expirations: Eidos Therapeutics (NASDAQ:EIDX) on December 17; I3 Verticals (NASDAQ:IIIV), Magenta Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MGTA), Avrobio (NASDAQ:AVRO), Essential Properties Realty Trust (NYSE:EPRT), Kezar Life Sciences (NASDAQ:KZR) and Xeris Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:XERS)on December 18.
Analyst quiet period expirations: Taiwan Liposome (TLC), Tiziana Life Sciences (NASDAQ:TLSA) and TuanChe (NASDAQ:TC) on December 17.

What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
You’ve likely heard the phrase “Internet of Things” — or IoT — at some point, but you might also be scratching your head figuring out what it is or what it means.
The IoT refers to the connection of devices (other than typical fare such as computers and smartphones) to the Internet. Cars, kitchen appliances, and even heart monitors can all be connected through the IoT. And as the Internet of Things grows in the next few years, more devices will join that list.
We’ve compiled a beginner’s guide to the IoT to help you navigate the increasingly connected world.
Terms and Basic Definitions
Below, we’ve provided a glossary defining the Internet of Things:
Internet of Things: A network of internet-connected objects able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors.
Internet of Things device: Any stand-alone internet-connected device that can be monitored and/or controlled from a remote location.
Internet of Things ecosystem: All the components that enable businesses, governments, and consumers to connect to their IoT devices, including remotes, dashboards, networks, gateways, analytics, data storage, and security.
Entity: Includes businesses, governments, and consumers.
Physical layer: The hardware that makes an IoT device, including sensors and networking gear.
Network layer: Responsible for transmitting the data collected by the physical layer to different devices.
Application layer: This includes the protocols and interfaces that devices use to identify and communicate with each other.
Remotes: Enable entities that utilize IoT devices to connect with and control them using a dashboard, such as a mobile application. They include smartphones, tablets, PCs, smartwatches, connected TVs, and nontraditional remotes.
Dashboard: Displays information about the IoT ecosystem to users and enables them to control their IoT ecosystem. It is generally housed on a remote.
Analytics: Software systems that analyze the data generated by IoT devices. The analysis can be used for a variety of scenarios, such as predictive maintenance.
Data storage: Where data from IoT devices is stored.
Networks: The internet communication layer that enables the entity to communicate with their device, and sometimes enables devices to communicate with each other.
Internet of Things Predictions, Trends, and Market
There will be more than 24 billion IoT devices on Earth by 2020. That’s approximately four devices for every human being on the planet.
And as we approach that point, $6 billion will flow into IoT solutions, including application development, device hardware, system integration, data storage, security, and connectivity. But that will be money well spent, as those investments will generate $13 trillion by 2025.
Who will reap these benefits? There are three major entities that will use IoT ecosystems: consumers, governments, and businesses. For more detail, see the Industries section below.
IoT Industries
Several environments within the three groups of consumers, governments, and ecosystems will benefit from the IoT. These include:
Manufacturing Transportation Defense Agriculture Infrastructure Retail Logistics Banks Oil, gas, and mining Insurance Connected Home Food Services Utilities Hospitality Healthcare Smart Buildings
IoT Companies
There are literally hundreds of companies linked to the Internet of Things, and the list should only expand in the coming years. Here are some of the major players that have stood out in the IoT to this point:
Honeywell (HON) Hitachi T-Mobile (TMUS) Comcast (CMCSA) GE (GE) AT&T (T) Cisco (CSCO) IBM (IBM) Amazon (AMZN) Skyworks (SWKS) Apple (AAPL) Sierra Wireless (SWIR) Google (GOOGL) Iridium Communications (IRDM) Ambarella (AMBA) ARM Holdings (ARMH) Texas Instruments (TXN) PTC (PTC) Fitbit (FIT) ORBCOMM (ORBC) Garmin (GRMN) Blackrock (BLK) InvenSense (INVN) Microsoft (MSFT) Control4 (CTRL) Silicon Laboratories (SLAB) CalAmp (CAMP) LogMeIn (LOGM) InterDigital (IDCC) Ruckus Wireless (RKUS) Linear Technology (LLTC) Red Hat (RHT) Nimble Storage (NMBL) Silver Spring Networks (SSNI) Zebra Technologies (ZBRA) Arrow Electronics (ARW)
IoT Platforms
One IoT device connects to another to transmit information using Internet transfer protocols. IoT platforms serve as the bridge between the devices’ sensors and the data networks.
The following are some of the top IoT platforms on the market today:
Amazon Web Services
Microsoft Azure
ThingWorx IoT Platform
IBM’s Watson
Cisco IoT Cloud Connect
Salesforce IoT Cloud
Oracle Integrated Cloud
GE Predix
IoT Security & Privacy
As devices become more connected thanks to the IoT, security and privacy have become the primary concern among consumers and businesses. In fact, the protection of sensitive data ranked as the top concern (at 36% of those polled) among enterprises, according to the 2016 Vormetric Data Threat Report.
Cyber attacks are also a growing threat as more connected devices pop up around the globe. Hackers could penetrate connected cars, critical infrastructure, and even people’s homes. As a result, several tech companies are focusing on cyber security in order to secure the privacy and safety of all this data.
More to Learn
IoT devices connected to the Internet will more than triple by 2020, from 10 billion to 34 billion. IoT devices will account for 24 billion, while traditional computing devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.) will comprise 10 billion.
Nearly $6 trillion will be spent on IoT solutions over the next five years.
Businesses will be the top adopter of IoT solutions because they will use IoT to 1) lower operating costs; 2) increase productivity; and 3) expand to new markets or develop new product offerings.
Governments will be the second-largest adopters, while consumers will be the group least transformed by the IoT.
And when you dig deep into the report, you’ll get the whole story in a clear, no-nonsense presentation:
The complex infrastructure of the Internet of Things distilled into a single ecosystem
The most comprehensive breakdown of the benefits and drawbacks of mesh (e.g. ZigBee, Z-Wave, etc.), cellular (e.g. 3G/4G, Sigfox, etc.), and internet (e.g. Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.) networks
The important role analytics systems, including edge analytics, cloud analytics, will play in making the most of IoT investments
