Surrounded by tropical greenery, the Riu Tequila has a secluded setting and a great pool scene.
Tucked inside a palm grove in the quiet resort of Playacar, the Riu Tequila is a retreat. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to a peaceful platinum-shine beach from here.
This hotel is in a relaxed part of the Caribbean Coast. When you want to up the tempo, the colourful resort of Playa del Carmen is a 5-minute drive away.

his is our 5th visit to Riu Tequila over the years and I am always a little anxious when I go back to a place - will it be as good as before? It was BRILLIANT!!! We were greeted with the usual warm Mexican welcome and better still staff recognised us. This hotel has great food, entertainment and, of course the staff! The kind and wonderful staff will make any hotel great! Seriously the choice of food is excellent, my only criticism is when you go to the Steak House the portion sizes are, for me too big! Leo the Restaurant Manager is wonderful and greeted us as part of the family, along with many of the excellent waiting staff - Edgar, Luis, Felix (our favourite at the Steak house) and sooooo many others. Entertainment is great lots to do in the day if you decide to stay on the complex and the evening shows are great - Hilario is wonderful and holds a great stretching/yoga class in the morning. Gym at the sister hotel across the road is great and the Spa is excellent too! The beach is beautiful with crystal clear waters. Cancun airport seems more efficient now and check in was quick as well as boarding the plane. Overall this is a great value for money and wonderful place to go. If booking any trips nip down to the local plaza and save a fortune!!!!More

DO NoT Go!!!
How this gets a 5 star (maybe the hotels pay money to get better stars) is beyond me three stars at best. Have been to Mayan five times and this was the WORST resort I have ever been to. Our room smelled so bad it was unbearable. Beach was far and the cart barely comes around. Food was alright at best. The restaurants slightly better than buffet. And only a few. Staff was rude...just to explain one instance...I was pushing my stroller up the ramp the only way to get into the lobby with a stroller...and two employees were standing right in front of the exit off the ramp I litterly stood there for a few mins while they continued to talk and did not move out of the way...just a couple steps to the left or right and I could have gotten by. Hotel is old...which whatever not going for what it looks like anyway but thought just add the observation. I have never written a review because I have never had this bad of an experience. Highly recommend the Bahia.More

Better than the 5 star I stayed at last time I went.
The staff really make this place. From the concierge to the maids and barmen they all love making your stay a pleasure. The entertainment can be a bit samey but it is what it is and you always have a laugh. Â£5 dollars to 5th ave so if you fancy a change it's not much.More
Just returned from 2 weeks, having had a brilliant holiday at this Hotel. We've previously stayed at the Riu Playacar and had been to the Tequila on evenings and knew how good it was, so decided to book here, Staff The Staff at this Hotel are fabulous. They all have a smile on their faces and are really pleasant and hard working. The Cleaner had our room spotless and they even moved the bed every day to clean underneath it. The room was literally gleaming each day. The Staff in the Restaurant were really efficient and pleasant and the bar staff were really quick and efficient. One of the Staff in the main entertainment area knew our drinks after one night and would ask " 2 Capitains?" as we were drinking Captain Morgans and coke. The Entertainment staff are absolutely fantastic too. They are on the go all day arranging all sorts of games etc during the day and then putting on a show most evenings. They literally put their hearts and souls into the shows and you can tell they thoroughly enjoy what they do. Food The food here is wonderful, as displayed on my stomach as I now resemble Bubbles Devere ( from the UK comedy programme Little Britain). Started off a size 12 at the beginning of the holiday but wouldn't like to guess what I am now! Breakfasts include cereals, wide ranges of fruit and yoghurts, eggs fried, poached, scrambled and boiled,omelettes, various cooked meats and cheeses, various breads, croissants and danish pastries, churittzo with chocolate, almonds, pancakes and waffles. Evening meals included- Daily carvery e.g leg of lamb, pork and beef. Various salads, soup, mexican foods e.g chilli and fahitas, chicken, pork, wide range of fish and seafood including mussels, octopus, calamari, grouper, tuna, salmon and sushi. Massive desert and cheese and biscuit selection, ice cream and a chocolate fountain.Pastas and Pizzas, pulled pork, chips, mashed potato, boiled potato and vegetables. There is also a wide range of sauces available with various chillis and guacamole, White wine, rose and red wine are available along with beer and soft drinks. There is also a machine for tea and coffee Lunch is served near the pools and there is also a good range including pasta, pizza,burgers, hot dogs, fish, salads, soups, ice cream and deserts. There is a barbecue by the pool bar daily which serves burgers, salad hot dogs, chicken breast, guacamole, salsa and ketchups. My only concern about the main Restaurant was the tables were a bit close together. I didn't want to be making new friends while I had a mouthful of food and you were literally inches away from the nearest table. The Restaurant and hotel has a Hacienda type feel to it and the furniture looks authentic and gives it a great ambience. Wifi I could only get Wifi in the Hotel reception and not around the pool like some other people managed but maybe they had paid for their usage. Entertainment This Hotel excels with what is on offer. During the day there is aqua aerobics, spanish lessons, dancing lessons. volley ball, darts, shuffleboard etc At night there is often very good entertainment on before the main show which starts at 9.30pm. From around 8pm we saw circus acts, breakdancing troupes, Mexican games, Mariatchi bands etc. The main shows included Mama Mia, Grease, Michael Jackson, 80s disco. The costumes were excellent and most of the shows were put on by the entertainment crew. They must be trained dancers because they are so professional and talented. One of the guys was in drag for a few of the shows and had everyone in stitches he was so good. There was also a karaoke on one night and a guy got up to sing Nessan Dorma. We were incredulous thinking he is either going to ruin this in a big way or be brilliant. He turned out to have this fantastic operatic voice and the place came to a standstill and he got a standing ovation. What a voice. Bars There are 2 bars near the entertainment area and a Sports bar for evening drinks, along with the Pinata nightclub. The Sports bar and nightclub are air conditioned and are a welcome break from the heat. The pool bar does a roaring trade and serve a huge variation of cocktails both with and without alcohol. Some days it was like being in a bar as a lot of drinking went on in the pool and sometimes people were quite drunk. One girl had to be lifted out of the pool and they got one of the staff to bring a wheelchair to put her in as she was so out of it. Pools There are 2 pools available, one where the entertainment staff do the water polo and aqua aerobics and the other which can't really be described as the quite pool due to the drinking. However they are both great and have easy access steps and don't have a deep end, so none swimmers are ok in there. There is a jacuzzi in the pool with the bar with seats and also concrete beds in one area for you to lie on. They are surrounded by tropical palm trees and plants and quite a lot is in the shade. We didn't have any problems getting beds at any time and found the pools to be lovely and relaxing. Mattresses are also on the beds so they are quite comfortable and a lot of beds are covered by thatched parasols. Usually a member of staff walks round at 30 minute intervals with a tray with drinks on offering various cocktails, beer and soft drinks. There were a lot of people with waterproof cameras and selfie sticks. Goodness knows how many peoples videos we are on Coatis These are like meercats and were quite funny to watch until they stole my partner's Burger off him! If anyone gets food from the barbecue they come out in force and it can be a bit like the pied piper when you have a trail of 5 coatis following you wanting your food. They are wild animals and aren't scared of humans. Two of them jumped up and pulled my partner's plate off him and ran off with his burger so he wasn't best pleased and that was the end of our out door eating. They are also very dextrous and can open beach bags and zips, If anyone has food or mints in their bags the coatis will be in there. They also fight amongst each other over food and some had chunks of fur ripped off. Rooms Our room was spacious and immaculate, and cleaned to a very impressive standard. There is plenty of wardrobe and drawer space and a free safe which you input your own code into. 4 bottles of water were constantly replenished along with coke, orange and lemonade and soda water and Dos Aquis beer. There are also 4 optics containing spirits. Some blocks have an ice machine but ours didn't. There are a lot of TV channels and quite a few were in English including News, sports and movie and drama channels. We had an incident where we came back to the room one afternoon and there was a Do not disturb sign on the door and the room hadn't been cleaned but things had been moved so I realised someone had been in. I then noticed the safe was open. I had a mega panic and then checked and found nothing was missing. We realised then that they we must have left the safe open and the cleaner has come in and noticed then immediately left and put the do not disturb sign on. This must be the correct procedure for them to follow as two security staff came to our room later and the cleaner came back to complete the cleaning. We were really impressed that there is a procedure in place and that nothing had been taken Neigbouring hotels Riu Playacar will be available to use once it reopens later this month. Over the 2 weeks we were there they had around 50 workmen at the front each day grafting hard and from us thinking there will be no way it could open in time, we now think it might by the amount of workmen there each day including weekends. Looks like the reception and entrance is nearly complete now and it is a modern design Riu Yucatan- We visited here a number of times and it has changed a lot since our previous visit. It is better than the pictures show and the cocktail bar near reception is very nice with a good atmosphere and comfortable seats. We visited for lunch one day but weren't impressed. The containers where the salad and deserts are did not have covered exteriors like the Tequila and had flies on the food. The standard of cleanliness in the downstairs toilet near to the Cocktail bar was also pretty dire. The beach is large and there are plenty of beds. The pool has a modern feel to it and reminded me of a Vegas type pool. There was loud music and lots of people drinking in the small area in front of the pool bar. I thought the sunbeds were too close together and there seemed to be more space at the Tequila Surrounding area We visited Playa Del Carmen a few times, sometimes taking a leisurely 20 minute stroll and other times getting a taxi which was 90 pesos there and between 100 and 120 pesos back. It is a really buzzing resort with a great atmosphere. There are loads of shops, bars , restaurants and clubs and we heard the same patter a lot of other people have mentioned e.g Don't you recognise me I'm your waiter at the Tequila etc. Some new lines such as ' Come and look at my shop instead of my ugly neighbour' and ' All of these necklaces are hand made, made by my mother' were new lines. Especially about the necklaces which we saw in numerous places and unless his mother worked in China, she certainly hadn't made any. There are a lot more shops and an American style Mall with stores such as H and M, American Eagle. Forever 21 and Harley Davison. Mosquitos From reading the forum I was well prepared. I took fly spray with me for the room which seemed to help a lot and then I used 50% Deet repelland and Avon Skin so Soft spray and I didn't get bitten once. My partner got 4 bites as he ignored my nagging one night and went out without repellant. Needless to say I didn't mention this much! Departure tax We were told this was Â£35 or 865 pesos but when we got to the airport it was Â£20 or 440 pesos. Unsure if this is a permanent reduction or a temporary measure All in all we had a fabulous holiday and would return to this hotel without question. I would say this is the best hotel I've ever stayed inMore

Map created by CUHK SpatioEpi Group
Between the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, the influenza epidemic has occurred not only in Hong Kong but also the world. The map shows the distribution of main influenza subtype during this Winter influenza season of the northern hemisphere (between week 45 of 2017 and week 8 of 2018). These main reporting subtypes were confirmed in laboratory, and could be categorized as subtype A, B and C. Subtype A can be further classified as A (H1N1) and A(H3N2), etc., and subtype B as B (Yamagata lineage) and B (Victoria lineage), etc. Subtype C is however not common. It can be seen that the circulating subtype of a place is the same as that among countries nearby. For instance, the main subtype in China and her nearby south-east Asian countries is B, and the main subtype in North America (USA and Canada) is A(H3N2). From another perspective, there’s little relationship between the virus circulating in USA and Hong Kong or China.
The reported influenza subtype data on the maps were obtained from the WHO FluNet http://www.who.int/influenza/gisrs_laboratory/flunet/en/.
Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus, different forms of which are normally circulating in not just human beings but pigs and birds. All influenza viruses are divided into A, B and C, and further distinguished by their H and N antigens. There are currently 18 H (standing for haemagglutinin) and 11 N (standing for neuraminidase) antigens. Epidemics occurred when novel viruses are introduced to the human population. Pandemic influenza A (H1N1), previously referred as Swine flu, was an example causing worldwide outbreaks in 2009. The genetic structure of this influenza virus contains segments from pig, bird and human, reflecting the occurrence of reassortment. Studies suggested a case fatality rate of 0.4% for the novel infection, and a higher tendency for causing disease in young people compared to other forms of seasonal flu. Since 2009, the same virus has continued to cause outbreaks in different populations at different timepoints.

If you've ever supped at Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room in Savannah, GA, then you'll remember a midday meal with endless side dishes like candied sweet potatoes, okra and tomatoes, macaroni and cheese, rutabega, cabbage, peas with noodles and cole slaw.
And here are more options with recipes for soul food touches to a Staten Island meal.
1.) Macaroni and cheese can be enjoyed at both the adult and kiddie tables. Take a your favorite recipe and jack it up with shredded smoked Gouda, Emmental or dollops of goat cheese. Mix in a handful or two of diced ham or slab bacon strips, baby peas, cooked broccoli or caramelized onions. Coat the top of the mac 'n' cheese with spoonfuls of seasoned breadcrumbs pan-fried with butter or olive oil, then brown under the broiler.
Here is an easy recipe from "3-Step Easy Cooking with Flavor" by McCormick spices.
Macaroni and Cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup butter
8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked and crained
3/4 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Stir together milk, ground mustard and paprika in medium bowl until blended. Set aside.
Heat butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Stir in cooked macaroni, then stir in milk mixture, cheese, onion powder, salt and black pepper.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, 10 minutes or until sauce barely begins to bubble around edges of the pan. Do not boil: It will separate and cheese will curdle. Reduce heat and cook, stirring, 5 minutes, just until sauce has thickened. Serve hot.
Other options: Stir in a few handfuls of cooked peas, diced ham or bacon. Add 1/4 cup of Gruyere or Swiss cheese along with cheddar.
2.) Simmer collard greens with vegetable or chicken broth then flavor with smoked ham, ham hocks or smoked turkey necks.Smoked salt --- available in the spice aisle at Stop and Shop in New Springville --- is a meat-free way to add smoke.
3.) Rutabegas are similar to turnips but have a pleasant golden tinge. It is an ideal accompaniment to smoked ham and can be substituted for potatoes in mashed potato recipes.
Discard peeled skin from rutabegas and cut flesh into chunks. Cover with salted water and simmer over medium heat for 35 to 40 minutes or until tender. Strain and mash with a few tablespoons butter, a bit of milk or cream and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
4.) Black eyed peas are believed to bring prosperity and good luck in the New Year. Superstition aside, other options in the soul food legume family include buttered lima beans with a dash of cayenne and turkey sausage crumbles, navy beans baked with a smoked ham bone, Hoppin' John (black eyed peas with long-grain white rice, black beans simmered with a Jamaican hot pepper,
Legume tips: Lentils, split peas, dried lima beans and black-eyed peas can be cooked in 35 to 40 minutes and generally require no soaking. Navy beans, black beans, pink beans and the like should be soaked for about 8 hours with a change of water before cooking. Two cups of dried peas and beans (1 pound) yields between 6 and 8 cups of beans which translates to 8 to 10 servings.
While it's ideal to do-it-yourself, an easy way out of biscuit-making is buying instant bake biscuits. When they're fresh out of the oven, doctor them up with shreds of sharp cheddar on top or slice the biscuit in half to tuck a piece of jalapeno-cheddar or pepper-Jack cheese between the flaky layers.
For an easy buttermilk biscuit recipe, check out this one courtesy of Bisquick:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried herb leaves, such as rosemary, basil or thyme, or Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, herbs, salt and baking soda. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
On lightly floured surface, lightly knead dough 10 times. Roll or pat dough about 1 inch thick. Cut with floured 2-inch cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place biscuits about 1 inch apart. Brush with butter.
Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
6.) A cold dish such as cole slaw is ideal to make ahead of time. Plus if ham or turkey is the centerpiece of your table, a spoonful of slaw is a great condiment for leftovers (i.e. biscuit and meat sandwich topped with cole slaw.)
Daisy Reeves' Creamy Cole Slaw
Serves 8 to 10 guests
1 large head of green cabbage, about 2 pounds
1 green pepper
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup of commercial or homemade mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
Choose a heavy head of cabbage with tight, crisp green leaves. Place the cabbage on a cutting board and cut into quarters. Rinse the cabbage well with cold water and drain until dry or spin to dry in a lettuce spinner.
Wrap the cabbage in toweling and allow to crisp overnight in the refrigerator. When the cabbage is dry and crisp, cut away the core and then shred finely.
Core and finely dice the green pepper and chop the onion. Combine the vegetables in a large bowl.
Make the dressing: Combine in a small bowl the cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, sugar, dry mustard, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Beat together with a fork or wire whisk until well-blended.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill again for 2 or 3 hours or overnight.
--- Ms. Reeves is a member of Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, Princeton, NJ. The recipe is reprinted from Joyce White's "Soul Food: Recipes and Reflections from African-American Churches." You can skip a few cabbage prep steps but it's important that the recipe sits for a couple of hours before serving so that flavors can mingle.

text: Canada has a rich history of innovation, but in the next few decades, powerful technological forces will transform the global economy. Large multinational companies have jumped out to a headstart in the race to succeed, and Canada runs the risk of falling behind. At stake is nothing less than our prosperity and economic well-being. The Financial Post set out explore what is needed for businesses to flourish and grow. You can find all of our coverage here.Shortly after Amazon picked New York to host half of its HQ2, an architect’s group published a concept drawing of a giant fulfillment centre carving through the Manhattan skyline. Purposely provocative, the image carried a clear message: The city would be good for Amazon, but would Amazon be good for the city?A similar question is being asked here in Toronto following an influx of global tech corporations that includes Uber, Samsung, LG, Intel, Microsoft and Alphabet. The only sensible response is that of course such massive inward investment — $1.4 billion in September alone — will be good for Toronto. It will directly create hundreds of well-paying jobs and also provide a substantial boost to our homegrown tech companies.Some have voiced concerns that the arrival of deep-pocketed U.S. corporations will price our own startups out of the market for top talent, thereby slowing their growth and confining us to branch-plant operations for foreign companies. Others have painted these companies as a new generation of corporate raiders, who will do a smash-and-grab for our intellectual property. Innovation Nation: How technology is reshaping the insurance industry A robot in every factory: The $230-million bid to help automate Ontario’s manufacturing sector Ottawa ‘bending over backward’ for foreign tech giants at the expense of homegrown stars, insiders say The mistaken assumption underlying these worries is that innovation is a zero-sum game — that an engineer employed by Samsung or Google is irredeemably lost to the startup ecosystem. In reality, there are countless examples of workers who cycle through the corporate world, then go on to establish their own companies with upgraded skills and more experience: I was one of those people.You see, talent is “borderless.” The best engineers and entrepreneurs will go wherever they need to go, find the best possible opportunities to build their skills, experience and ventures. And as always, the best always want to work with the best, build with the best and learn from the best. The arrival of big-name companies is a signal to the market that global companies can be built in Toronto. That will draw more talented workers and investors, particularly as competitors like the U.S. and U.K. become less welcoming to immigrants.Yes, we need to be vigilant that we have safeguards in place for our data and intellectual property. But Toronto’s tech sector is having a moment on the world stage and we need to use it — not work against it — to accelerate the growth of made-in-Canada ventures. To do this, we need to do three things:Leverage the arrival of big tech companies Toronto’s tech sector is connected and collaborative like few others. The best way to ensure that corporates bring more to this ecosystem than they take from it is by forging partnerships with them. Venture arms of big tech companies can be an important source of capital — Salesforce, for instance, is investing US$100 million in Canadian startups. They can also be vital customers and partners, enabling new technologies to be rapidly scaled on their platforms. We are already seeing the power of this approach in the financial industry, where nimble fintech startups are growing fast by building white-label technologies that integrate into the systems of large financial institutions around the world.Connect ventures to sources of strategic global capitalThe arrival of big-name tech companies has put Toronto firmly on the radar of investors. That will help close our venture capital gap with the U.S. — our ventures raise about half as much capital as theirs. But we also need to focus on the quality of that capital, especially as we are likely heading into choppier waters for the global economy. Our companies are export-driven, so we need investors who are internationally connected and can help them enter new markets. As well as continuing to draw global venture capitalists here, we should explore ways to make it easier for Canada’s enormous pension funds to invest in tech ventures while meeting their fiduciary responsibilities. Our pension funds are among the world’s smartest investors and bringing more of their talent and financial firepower to bear could rapidly accelerate growth of our innovative companies.Focus on key sectors where we have strategic advantageCanada’s inclusive approach to innovation is serving us well, but we have to be careful that we don’t spread ourselves too thin. We have to choose the sectors where we have a natural advantage and back those to the hilt. Our leadership in artificial intelligence is clearly a crown jewel — funding in that sector reached an all-time quarterly high of $169 million in Q2 2018 — but we also have natural advantages in clean technologies and health care. Our sweet spot might well come from combining these strengths. We are already seeing ventures emerge that use artificial intelligence to make clean technologies smarter and more efficient.We should take pride in the fact that Toronto is a bonafide global centre of innovation. That’s why international corporations are setting up here.

If I were to pick a favorite childhood candy, it would be Snickers. When I would go trick-or-treating, I would fill a plastic pumpkin pail to the brim with various candies. Which I would then hide from my brothers in the bottom of my underwear drawer for months.
Being the type of kid that passed the marshmallow test with flying colors, I always saved the best loot for last. Smarties were everyday candy. You didn’t wait to savor those. Usually by mid-January, my candy/underwear drawer would be mostly Snickers bars. Yes, I was a candy hoarder.
Flip a Snickers over and look at the label. Unlike Smarties, which are just circular sugar chunks, Snickers have some substance to them. There are actual ingredients in there.
To grossly oversimplify things, what you’re feeding your dog is basically a Snickers bar.
I’ve been thinking about how I can keep my dog Xena as healthy as possible and maximize her enjoyment of life. Without spending all of the money.
It’s trickier than it sounds. I’ve tested over 10 different dog foods over the course of a year. I’ve spent hours trying to make sense out of dog food labels (note: this is a shortcut to madness). And studying what a good dog food even looks like from a nutritional perspective.
I’ve even considered the ancestral progression of wolves to dogs. Where they differ. How they are similar. And why your dog is fat. You can read more about that in one of my other articles.
I don’t do affiliate links. I don’t do ads. I don’t get free stuff in exchange for positive reviews. I don’t make a single penny from writing this article or for you reading it. I pay for this site out of my own pocket as my gift to you.
Any product, site, or service I recommend is out of my belief that it could improve your life. I use everything myself first. If (and only if) it passes my excessively high standards, I’ll recommend it to you.
The lowdown on macronutrients
Let’s talk macronutrients. A macronutrient is simply a way to break down food into the types of energy it contains. The three biggest macronutrients are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
If I were to describe each of the big 3 macronutrients at a high level it would be as follows. Carbohydrates are pure energy that are easily be stored as fat if not used (except for dietary fiber). Proteins and fats are like tiny Lego bricks that are used to build most of your dog’s cells, but can also be converted to energy if required.
(Biochemists, please don’t cringe. Yes, I am grossly oversimplifying complex topics like gluconeogenesis, the Krebs cycle, fatty acid metabolism, and amino acids. And I’m ignoring micronutrients completely in my analysis.)
The macronutrient breakdown of a given food is what percentages it contains of each.
- Table sugar – 100% carbohydrates
- Bacon grease – 100% fat
- Egg – 60% fat, 35% protein, 5% carbohydrates
What your dog should be eating
Your Dog is basically a wolf that lives in your house. In fact, both dogs and wolves are members of the same species – Canis Lupus – and both could hook up and make puppies together. Yes, even your Chihuahua could get it on with a wolf to create some terrifying offspring. Try to not picture that.
There are some obvious differences. A primary one is that dogs can digest complex carbohydrates like grains. Wolves can’t. But because dogs can eat massive quantities of carbohydrates doesn’t mean that they should. In fact, the bible of dog nutrition, Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Cats, produced by the NRCNA, reiterates that dogs don’t need carbs at all, if they are getting their required vitamins and minerals from other sources.
Your dog will die without protein and fat in their diet. But your dog could go their entire life without eating any carbohydrates.
Comparing macronutrients of various diets
I put together an infographic that shows the differences in macronutrients for comparison:
The first thing to note is that your average dry dog food looks a lot like a Snickers bar. If the Snickers had a few more peanuts in it, they’d be identical in terms of macronutrients.
Wonder why your dog is fat? You’d be fat too if you ate Snickers for every meal.
Wolves don’t eat carbs at all. Very rarely an easily digestible berry or two. Only 1% of the wolf diet in the wild is carbohydrates. Most of it is protein and fat in around a 50/50 split.
Dogs, given the choice to sniff out and eat the foods they prefer follow a similar diet to a wolf. In a comprehensive university study, dogs end up with a 60:30 split of fat and protein, with only 7% carbohydrates. Much more like a wolf diet than your average dog food.
Finally, I compared this to what I consider to be the optimal dry dog food on the market today – Orijen Regional Red. It’s the same food I feed Xena. I have no relationship with Orijen, nor do I make any money from advertising on this site. I believe they make a fantastic product. I pay regular price for it at my local pet store like everybody else.
Unfortunately, even the best kibbles still have more carbohydrates than a dog would prefer to eat. And not as much fat as they would like either. They are more like a Snickers bar than the preferred dog or wolf diet.
My view is that your dog can’t perform at their best unless you reduce their carbohydrate intake and replace it with high quality fats and proteins.
It may even help keep your dog at an optimal weight and increase their energy. My opinion from my extensive research and my personal observations with Xena is that it will. But I’m not a veterinarian so I can’t make definitive statements for every dog.
What you can do about it
Most high-quality dog food already has sufficient protein for your dog. You don’t need to add more. If you want to optimize your dog’s carbohydrate levels, I’d recommend adding some fat.
This is an easy change for you to make. Chances are your dog loves fat. And fats can be easily drizzled on top of your existing dog food for an extra-savory meal. A healthy fat booster will reduce the overall carbohydrate load of your dog’s food.
Good Fat Boosters
You can see in the chart that adding a fat booster to a high-carbohydrate dog food decreases the carbohydrate percentage and increases the fat percentage significantly. Much more than adding a fat booster to an already high-fat dog food would.
Don’t go overboard with added fat. Start off slow so your dog’s digestive tract can adjust. I keep Xena’s added fats to be no more than 15% of her total calories.
Xena, an 85lb Rottweiler, receives 250 calories per day, or roughly two tablespoons of oils or bacon grease. She gets one tablespoon on her food at both breakfast and dinner.
Make sure you are subtracting an equivalent amount of food to compensate so you aren’t overfeeding your dog.
Xena’s food is 449 calories per cup. I’m giving her 250 extra calories of fat. The math is:
- 250 fat calories / 449 calories per cup of food = 0.55 cups food less per day
Since she gets fed twice a day, I just subtract a quarter cup of dry food for each meal when I add a tablespoon of fat. Easy!
My favorite fat topper for Xena is MCT oil. MCT oil (specifically, a capric and capryllic acid MCT blend) is distilled from pure coconut oil. Unlike traditional fats, MCT oil gets converted immediately into energy and can have additional fat-burning effects. Here’s a great guide on why coconut (and MCT) oils are great for dogs.
Side note – I order the Viva Naturals brand via the Amazon Subscribe and Save program for a 15% discount, which brings my cost down to around $16 per liter. For a coconut-derived MCT formulation that is 100% capric (C10) and capryllic (C8) acid (e.g. the good stuff), that’s a fantastic price. Xena consumes 1 bottle per month.
Xena’s personal favorite fat topper is bacon grease. No surprises there. Whenever I make bacon, I save the drippings in a container and store in the fridge for special occasions. It helps to warm it up slightly first before pouring it on food. Not too hot or you risk burning your dog’s mouth.
Try a fat booster for 60 days. Weigh your dog before and after. See if your pet’s energy levels have increased. See if they have a glossier coat. I think you’ll be pleased with the results.
If your dog is significantly overweight, consider an extremely low-carbohydrate food like Orijen Regional Red.
Don’t suffer from sticker shock
High-fat dog foods look more expensive initially. Because they are so much denser, your dog doesn’t eat nearly as much. Critter Cabana has put together a cost comparison matrix of various dog foods.
The cheapest of the cheap dog foods, Walmart’s Ol’ Roy ($20 per 50lb bag) is $0.76 per day to feed a 50lb dog. Orijen Adult is $1.13 per day. Orijen Regional Red is around $2.00 per day.
The difference between the cheapest dog food you can buy and one of the best dry kibbles available is $1.25 per day for a 50lb dog. I’m convinced it will save me at least that amount over Xena’s lifetime in the reduction of vet bills alone.
Side note – I buy Orijen Regional Red for $94 per 25lb bag ($85 after my local pet store’s loyalty discounts). Don’t overpay online.
Try boosting your dog’s food with a healthy fat today. And please don’t feed your dog Snickers.

The planning of ‘villages-in-the-city’ in Shenzhen, China: The significance of the new state-led approach
This article investigates the 'state-led' approach to the planning of villages-in-the-city in Shenzhen City, China. Villages-in-the-city have been regarded as spaces of disorder in Chinese cities because existing planning prescriptions have not been able to address effectively the problems related to their development. An aggressive approach has recently been adopted to the development/redevelopment of these settlements. This article shows how a new regulatory framework to villagesin- the-city has emerged recently, and how this has impacted on different dimensions of their development. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.

Most recent performance
There are currently no scheduled performances of Lucia di Lammermoor. It was last on stage 7 April—19 May 2016 as part of the Spring 2015/16 season.
The Lammermoor fortune is in danger unless Lucia makes a good marriage. Her brother Enrico is horrified to learn she has fallen in love with his sworn enemy Edgardo. Edgardo leaves to fight in France; before leaving he and Lucia privately exchange rings. Meanwhile, Enrico hastily arranges Lucia’s marriage to Arturo.

Lucia di Lammermoor is Donizetti's tragic masterpiece. The opera marked the beginning of his partnership with regular collaborator librettist Salvadore Cammarano – who, as was the fashion of the day, looked to Walter Scott. Cammarano’s adaptation of Scott’s novel The Bride of Lammermoor moved Donizetti greatly, and in the subsequent score he produced not only some of his most beautiful but also his most dramatically potent music. Within a few years of its premiere in Naples on 26 September 1835 Lucia had entered the international repertory. Here it has remained, despite a practice in the 19th and 20th centuries to make cuts that obscured Donizetti’s deft handling of his ensemble cast, with a consequent impact on the opera’s brilliant dramatic pacing.
Lucia’s ‘Mad Scene’ is the opera’s most famous moment – but it is Donizetti’s recollection of previous motifs, such as Lucia’s Act I aria ‘Regnava nel silenzio’ and her duet with Edgardo ‘Verranno a te sull’aure’ that poignantly make manifest her distracted mind. Other highlights include the acclaimed sextet ‘Chi mi frena in tal momento’, where Edgardo interrupts the wedding party, the furious duet between Enrico and Edgardo at the start of Act III and the opera’s closing Tomb Scene, with its heartfelt and sombre depiction of Edgardo’s loss. Director Katie Mitchell (Written on Skin) sets The Royal Opera’s new production in the 1840s and focusses on how an intelligent woman, failed by the men in her life, experiences a horrifying mental breakdown.

||Kinetic Evolution of Transmutation Helium Accumulation at Y-Ti-O Oxides in Nanostructured Ferritic Alloys under Irradiation
||Chris Nellis, Celine Hin
|On-Site Speaker (Planned)
Concerns about the creation and growth of bubbles composed of transmutation helium in nuclear materials prompted the material design of oxide precipitates in nanostructured ferritic alloys. These oxides act as nucleation sites for transmutation helium bubbles, protecting the materials from embrittlement. A kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model was created to simulate the formation of these oxides under heat treatment. The neutron irradiation damage and the production of transmutation helium have also been implemented in the KMC code to reproduce real radiation damage conditions in nuclear reactors. The radiation induced segregation at grain boundaries, and precipitation will be presented. Important observations including the nucleation of helium bubbles at the surface of the oxides and the bubble size distribution throughout the matrix will be discussed. The KMC code has been used to study the microstructure evolution for numerous temperatures and dose rate conditions. The results will be compared to TEM observations.

|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)|
It has three movements:
- Allegro ma non troppo
- Allegro appassionato.
The sonata was composed in between June and December 1932 during a trip to Europe as Barber was finishing his studies at the Curtis Institute of Music. It was premiered in March 1933 with the composer at the piano and his friend and colleague Orlando Cole as cellist, at a concert of the League of Composers in New York City.

Thank you to Reddit user /u/pandoira for finding this update and bringing it to the attention of the tinnitus and hearing loss community!
The image below shows delivery of FX-322 that turns to a gel in the middle ear. The drug diffuses into the cochlea and is expected to create the greatest concentration of drug in the high frequency region of the cochlea.
Phase 1/2 clinical trial
We conducted a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of FX-322 in which we enrolled 23 adult patients aged 33 to 64 with an established diagnosis of mild to moderately severe stable SNHL, defined as the average pure tone value of 26 to 70 dB at the 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz frequencies, who had no change of 10 db or more at any frequency for more than six months. Fourteen patients had mild SNHL and nine patients had moderate to moderately severe SNHL. Of the nine moderate to moderately severe patients, six were randomized to FX-322 and three to placebo. In this trial, 15 patients were treated with a single injection of FX-322 and eight patients received placebo. Each patient had a documented medical history consistent with either noise-induced hearing loss, or NIHL, typically from noise exposure at work, or sudden SNHL, or SSNHL, which is characterized as a loss of 30 dB at three adjacent frequencies occurring over a 72-hour period. All patients had stable SNHL, meaning their hearing function at study entry was not significantly different based on a documented audiogram from at least six months prior to the study. Hearing function, specifically speech intelligibility, was assessed using WR and WIN. Hearing loudness was also measured using pure tone audiometry. Patients were randomized to a single injection of FX-322 or placebo administered at one of two different dose volumes (0.05 mL and 0.2 mL) to assess the safety of FX-322 administration and systemic exposure to FX-322. Follow-up visits occurred at 15, 30, 60, and 90 days after injection.
The objectives of the trial were to assess:
the systemic safety of FX-322;
the plasma pharmacokinetic profile to determine the systemic exposure to FX-322; and
the effect of FX-322 on measures of ear health and hearing function.
FX-322 was observed to be well-tolerated in this trial. No serious adverse events were observed, and all treatment-related adverse events were mild, procedure-related, and generally resolved within minutes after dosing. We also observed limited concentrations of the FX-322 components in systemic circulation.
In addition to the prospective analysis, we conducted a prospective statistical analysis where we tested whether the Day 90 WR value for each patient fell outside of the 95% confidence interval compared to their baseline WR value. A confidence interval, or CI, is a range of values in which, statistically, there is a specified level of confidence where the result lies. In this patient-by-patient analysis, we observed statistically significant and clinically meaningful increases in WR in four of 15 patients treated with FX-322 at Day 90, who were among the six FX-322 patients that had moderate to moderately severe SNHL (shown in the figure below). There was no apparent association between WR improvements and whether the patients had stable NIHL, or stable SSNHL, and similar results were obtained with both dose volumes. This is consistent with published work showing drug delivery to the cochlea depends more on the concentration of the drug than the volume of injection. There were no clinically meaningful WR improvements observed in the placebo group.
We also performed a post hoc analysis that showed a statistically significant improvement in WR by all FX-322-treated patients versus all placebo patients (p=0.01). A p value, as expressed in the data above, is the probability that the difference between two data sets was due to chance. The smaller the p value, the more likely the differences are not due to chance alone. In general, if the p value is less than or equal to 0.05, the outcome is statistically significant. The data are presented as adjusted mean relative percent change from baseline in the figure below. FX-322 treated patients saw improvements as early as 15 days after treatment that were sustained over 90 days.
We performed an additional post hoc analysis on WIN data. As shown in the figure below, the adjusted mean relative percent change from baseline was assessed at 15, 30, 60, and 90 days after injection, and a trend in improvement was seen in FX-322-treated patients versus placebo. Also, there were non-statistically significant trends in improved WIN scores at Day 90 in the four FX-322, treated patients that had statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in WR in the prospective statistical analysis.
We assessed audiometric changes from 250 Hz to 8000 Hz for all patients. Since drug enters closest to the high frequency region, the greatest drug exposure is expected to occur in the high frequency region. While no statistical differences were observed at any frequency when comparing pooled treatment groups, four of the moderate to moderately severe FX-322 patients showed a 10 dB threshold improvement at 8000 Hz at Day 90.
Planned Phase 2a clinical trial
Based on our analysis of the data from our Phase 1/2 clinical trial, we intend to initiate a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single- and repeat-dose Phase 2a clinical trial of FX-322 at approximately 12 sites in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2019. We plan to enroll approximately 96 adults aged 18 to 65 with stable SNHL. As in the Phase 1/2 clinical trial, patients must have a documented medical history consistent with either stable NIHL or stable SSNHL, with an average range of 26 to 70 dB loss measured by pure tone audiometry across four frequencies.
To explore how a single dose compares to multiple doses of FX-322, we plan to randomize patients to one of four groups, each of which will receive four injections, once per week at weekly intervals starting at the initial visit. Group 1 will receive one injection of FX-322 and three injections of placebo. Group two will receive two injections of FX-322 and two injections of placebo. Group three will receive four injections of FX-322. Group four will receive four injections of placebo. Patients will have follow-up visits two weeks after dosing and then monthly for seven months. The efficacy endpoints of this trial are expected to be WR, WIN, and pure tone audiometry in the range of 250 to 8000 Hz. The exploratory efficacy endpoints are expected to be the Tinnitus Functional Index, the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults, and pure tone audiometry in the range of 9000 to 16000 Hz. The selection of the efficacy endpoints in this study build on the learnings from the Phase 1/2 trial,
and we believe will add to our knowledge on the potential ways in which FX-322 may improve hearing function. We expect to report top-line data from this trial in the second half of 2020. We may also conduct clinical research in presbycusis.
Prior to commencing clinical trials, we tested FX-322 in multiple preclinical studies, including in human cells ex vivo and functional hearing tests in mice in vivo. In in vitro testing of isolated human inner ear progenitor cells with the compounds comprising FX-322, we observed the formation of new progenitor cells and their subsequent conversion into hair cells. We also observed translation across species in our in vitro studies of the inner ear progenitor cells from rhesus macaques in which a similar expansion of cell numbers were observed as in the in vitro studies of human cells.
We also conducted ex vivo testing in intact cochlea isolated from mice. To cause hair cell loss, we exposed the cochlea for 16 hours to an aminoglycoside antibiotic that is toxic to hair cells. We then treated the cochlea for 72 hours with the compounds comprising the active agents in FX-322. Aminoglycoside treatment (left panel in the figure below) killed more than 80% of the hair cells in the cochlea (shown in green). By contrast, cochlea treated with the compounds in FX-322 (shown in the middle panel) regenerated hair cells to a near native level, as shown graphically in the right panel.
Restoration of Hair Cells in Mouse Cochlea
We also tested FX-322 in a mouse model of severe noise-induced hearing loss. Following noise exposure, 47 mice were treated with FX-322 and 37 were treated with placebo. Hearing function was measured using auditory brainstem response, or ABR, in which the signal generated by the auditory nerve upon sensing sound is detected by electrodes on the scalp. We performed ABR testing after 24 hours, and measured hearing recovery after 30 days. The figure below shows the percentage of mice treated with FX-322 (shown in orange) or with placebo (shown in blue) that achieved a hearing recovery of at least 10 dB at 20000 Hz, a mid-range
frequency for mice. The improvement observed in the placebo-treated mice was due to recovery of temporary effects not related to hair cell death, which is typical following acute hearing loss.
Hearing Recovery in Mice Treated with FX-322
We have also conducted pharmacokinetic tests in multiple species in which we observed that FX-322 administration achieved therapeutic levels of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the cochlea.

I have Asus Geforce 210 graphics card on the system. It has 16 CUDA cores as per specifications. But when I try to install CUDA 7 toolkit on my system, it shows I do not have supported hardware. Please let me know if CUDA toolkit can be supported on system with ASUS Geforce 210 graphics card. If yes, let me know if I need to enable some setting to install CUDA 7 toolkit or if I need to download some older version of CUDA.
No it’s not supported. The last toolkit that supported GeForce 210 was CUDA 6.5. The release notes for CUDA 6.5 and CUDA 7 contain notifications to this effect.
Thank you txbox. I’ll get the CUDA 6.5 for my system.
I have a NVidia GeForce 210 Video Card and i need to use CUDA for an academic project. I read this topic but i visited this link https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-65 and i saw that CUDA Toolkit 6.5 is only compatible with Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04. However i use Ubuntu 16.04.
Anyone help me?
You could make a virtual machine with Ubuntu 14.04, compile with CUDA 6.5 in the VM, then use the executable in your native 16.06 (with appropriate drivers that still support the 210). It’d be a hassle and I don’t recommend it, but it’d work.
The GeForce 210 is over 7 years old, and is almost the lowest end card that could even run CUDA that was ever made. Its performance will be absolutely terrible. You still might use it as a learning experience, but do not expect to accelerate anything.

From the TYSK Insider
Newsletter dated: 8 May 2010
To learn more about the newsletter click here.
TEA Party protesters and the GOP are pushing the prospect of repealing all or most of Obamacare and well they should. New information – more correctly, newly revealed information – and new analysis of the provisions buried within the massive legislation should make fence-sitters and moderate Democrats agree as well that Obamacare is a monstrous disaster and needs to be relegated to ashbin of Congressional history.
This has been a very active two weeks – oil spill, flooding, stock market, Greece, etc. – and it is no surprise that the MSM and TV news ignored some of the most damning reports coming from the government’s own agencies. Naturally reluctant to report anything negative about The Øne and his healthcare scam, other news stories made a perfect cover.
This is why it is so important for those that are aware of the facts to make sure that others are made informed as well.
Three major developments occurred.
One — Richard Foster, chief actuary for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) a part of the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a report the title of which explains it all:
Estimated Financial Effects of the "Patient Protections and Affordable Care Act," as Amended.
The report is available here: http://tinyurl.com/22pfkq6
Two (with a kicker) — Remember that Henry Waxman, chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee had scheduled hearings into just why major corporations had publically declared huge profit write downs? (AT&T declared a $1 Billion dollar write down alone.) Recall as well that just days before the scheduled hearing date it was abruptly cancelled? Why?
Hubris has its own rewards. What was revealed by those documents was that these major companies were making plans to drop employee health care coverage and pay the Obamacare mandated fines instead. The math is simple, even a caveman can do it.
Not only is this in direct contradiction to what Barack Obama continually repeated, that if you like your current health care coverage you can keep it. It also completely shifts ALL of the calculations of what Obamacare will end up costing the taxpayers!
And the kicker… In his five page memo detailing the reason for cancelling the hearing, the fact that these large companies were planning to bailout of continuing health care coverage for their employees was withheld from the members! In fact, item III of his memo is titled, The Overall Impacts of the Health Reform Law on Large Employers Could Be Beneficial.
That is true. However, the lie of omission is that while it will benefit the companies themselves – they will see greater profits – employees will be forced into the government managed health care system AND the costs to the taxpayers will skyrocket!
The Waxman memo is available here: http://tinyurl.com/24x6sqe
Three — Forbes calls it a hidden time bomb… Section 2718 of the new legislation. (Geez, a bill with over 2,700 sections!)
Section 2718, at a mere 802 words, goes into effect first thing next year and will have a huge impact on the private insurance market. It is the section that converts private insurers into regulated utilities by effectively placing a ceiling on their already-low profit margins. Depending on how the law is implemented by Kathleen Sebelius, the Health and Human Services secretary, it could end up driving many insurers out of business.
Now back to point one [Note, as with most things coming from the Obama administration, they throw so much ordure in the air it is difficult to focus on any one item at a time. Call it Barry’s Shell game... BS game for short.] The CMS report issued by Mr. Foster exposes:
Foster’s analysis already has had an impact on decisions regarding one of the first programs launched under ObamaCare – the new temporary high-risk pools for the uninsured. Congress allocated $5 billion to fund the pools until 2014 when enrollees would be transferred into new health insurance exchanges.
Foster warns that the cost of the health overhaul law may be much greater than advertised. It relies on more than $500 billion in Medicare cuts to help pay for the new entitlement spending. But these cuts “may not be fully achievable” because “Medicare productivity adjustments could become unsustainable even within the next ten years,” Foster wrote. Given Congress’s inability to address Medicare’s exploding costs thus far, Foster’s skepticism is justified.
The report also highlights the shaky financial footing of the new long-term care insurance program – the CLASS Act, which Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) has described as “a Ponzi scheme of the first order.” Foster agrees the program faces “a significant risk of failure,” resulting in “a very serious risk that the problem of adverse selection will make the CLASS program unsustainable.” At a time of ballooning deficits and record debt, he finds the program will result “in a net Federal cost in the long-term.”
Concerned you’ll be kicked off your health insurance plans due to ObamaCare? Foster’s report shows that millions of Americans will suffer just this fate. He estimates that 14 million people will lose their employer coverage by 2019 as smaller employers terminate their plans and as workers who currently have employer plans enroll in taxpayer-subsidized coverage.
Note Foster’s reference to smaller employers. He was not aware, nor was anyone that had not seen the documents requested by Waxman & Company, of the plans being laid by large employers! That was the issue mentioned in item two above. Here is a picture from an AT&T Power Point presentation explaining the math around dropping employee coverage and paying the Obamacare fine instead:
All of the above points to the fact that once Obamacare was actually read and analyzed — and, they are still reading, folks — it will have effects even worse than the GOP and conservatives ever imagined.
Bottom line, not a single member of Congress that voted for Obamacare should be allowed to remain in office. We warned everyone that failure to read, understand and fully discuss this massive overtaking of 1/6th of our economy and perhaps the most important issue affecting all of our personal lives would lead to dramatic and disastrous consequences.
Only by replacing enough of these congresscritters that a presidential veto can be overridden, can we repeal Obamacare and start anew with a sane and thoughtful plan for fixing the problems with health care costs without ruining the best health care system in the world.

IoT means… all things connected to the mighty internet - yes, like the device you’re reading this right now from. They can:
IoT makes a promise to business owners: to allow them to make more intelligent decisions and decrease their associated expenses. Here are some examples:
An IoT system is made up of sensors/devices, connectivity, data processing and a user interface.
No complete IoT solution can be built without some kind of hardware. IoT applications vary so widely in their requirements that the choices you make on hardware stem directly from your specific use case. Here are some important hardware considerations:
Not all IoT applications will need a gateway, but they’re an important class of hardware that’s often a requirement for certain use cases because they’re needed to provide the connectivity to the sensors/devices. Cellular, satellite, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, LPWAN and so on, there are many ways to connect a sensor/device to the mighty internet. Each one of them represents a tradeoff between power consumption, range, and bandwidth. The perfect one would consume little power, have huge range and be able to transmit large amounts of data. But perfection doesn’t exist, so this perfect connectivity also doesn’t exist. The good news is you can make it perfect for you: your project to run smoothly (more than the famous smooth operator) and you to lower your expenses. It all comes down to your specific needs.
If you’re building, buying, and/or implementing massive-scale IoT solutions, you need to automate as much as you can, hence you need IoT Device Management. IoT Device Management is all of the tools, capabilities, and processes necessary to support IoT solutions effectively at scale. It includes quickly and securely onboarding new devices, automatically identifying device issues, classifying devices into states contextually dependent on the use case, and decommissioning old devices.
A critical component of the IoT ecosystem are IoT Platforms. They help:
✅ Connect hardware;
✅ Handle different communication protocols;
✅ Provide security and authentication for devices and users; → Collect, visualize, and analyze data;
✅ Integrate with other web services.
The world of IoT Platforms is full of choices. So choose wisely.
A complete IoT system requires many different components all working closely together and that’s what Application Program Interfaces (APIs) make possible. APIs provide a means for different programs to overcome the “language barrier” and they mean that users of your system don’t need to leave your system to use another organization’s application.
A user interface (UI for short) is the means by which a user and a computer system interact. Users need a way to view and understand the data captured by IoT. That’s where the user interface comes in. As you’re pursuing your specific application, make sure to consider who your users are and every step of their overall interaction with your system.
Per designer and author Don Norman (Nest), user experience is “all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with the company, its services, and its products.” In conclusion, your underlying technology must be incredible (be it hardware, connectivity, or software), and humans must easily access, control, and interact with your IoT solution.
This is the end of our pretty little IoT 101 blog post and we hope this is also the beginning of a better understanding of what we do. And, why not, the beginning of a beautiful friendship between your business and our solution. You can also find the IoT 101 series on our Facebook Page (it’s even prettier there). If you have burning questions, about IoT or, even more, about how we can help you unlock your business’s true value, have no fear (of the unknown) and reach out.

Many people associate home automation with movies about the dystopian future of humanity, such as Blade Runner 2049. But according to the experts at Garage Door Nation, this technology has already started taking the market by storm.
With the rapid development of home automation systems, smart homes can soon become as popular as smartphones or smartwatches. It is very likely that they will have become a part of our lives in a few decades.
Considering this, observing the trends that shape the future of home automation seems like the right thing to do. Because of that, we prepared a list of the biggest trends in home automation. If you want to learn more about modern home automation solutions, then read on!
Internet of Things in Home Automation Systems
The Internet of Things is one of the most popular trends in the modern world. It is all about making your house and the devices you use daily smarter by connecting them to one another. As a result, we can use them in a more convenient way.
Why did the concept of the Internet of Things become so popular? It all happened thanks to the giants of the IT industry, such as Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft, who want to take control of the home automation market through their smart devices. It means that more and more smart devices will appear in our homes, no matter what we do.
Should that make us feel concerned? It depends on your approach to home automation solutions. On the one hand, they are meant to make our lives easier. After all, being able to change the temperature inside your home without leaving your sofa seems quite convenient.
On the other hand, many people are worried that such home automation systems can be used to monitor their activity on a daily basis, as well as harass them. But only time will tell if such concerns are as valid as they appear to be.
Cheap Home Automation Solutions Will Replace the More Expensive Ones
Only a few years ago, such a statement would cause different experts and specialists to start arguing. But everything has changed thanks to the fact that many technological solutions have become much cheaper and can now be used on a mass scale without any issues.
Consequently, low-cost home automation systems have started to get really popular in recent years. They enable people who are on a tight budget to buy smart thermostats, windows, and doors without having to worry about spending tens of thousands of dollars.
The Internet of Things Market Will Grow Stronger
The Internet of Things market has quite a few key players who are attracting a lot of attention from both consumers and investors, such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Due to that fact, you can safely say this particular market comes with quite a few potentially lucrative investment opportunities.
Considering this, numerous investors and consumers have started to perceive home automation and machine learning solutions more positively. Moreover, many experts have begun to say that the boom in the home automation sector may lead to many scientific breakthroughs in communications infrastructure and robotic engineering.
It is also worth mentioning that Cisco was one of the first companies to publish a report that included the Internet of Things market back in 2017. They estimated that these revenues were going to reach 30 trillion dollars by 2020. And while we are nowhere close to that number, the global Internet of Things market is now worth more than 761.4 billion dollars, which is quite impressive nonetheless.
Do People Want Smart Homes and Robots?
In conclusion, it is expected that in the near distant future, each new home will be fully automated and equipped with a robot. In fact, many people think that robots are going to become much more popular in the near distant future.
According to the International Federation of Robotics, more than one million new household robots have been sold until the end of 2020 across all industries. You can safely say that that is the case thanks to smart home appliances, which many people really like using.
It is also worth mentioning that the boom in the home automation sector was caused by the giants of the IT industry. Such companies feel like they need to adjust to the needs of their potential customers as soon as possible in order to stay relevant and competitive. And right now, they think that people are interested in smart homes, robots, and high-quality security systems.
And for a good reason! Smart devices can make your life much easier. They can help you look after your children, lower your utility bills, prepare your favorite meals, as well as take care of the security of your home. Consequently, you should definitely consider looking into purchasing smart devices if you have not done so already!

Ginseng Hunter Rescue
Ginseng Hunter Rescued After Fall
Posted: Sep 14, 2009 10:33 PM
Updated: Sep 15, 2009 7:12 AM
Two brothers on the hunt for ginseng in rural Lewis Lounty became the focus of a massive search and rescue effort.
It took 35 rescue workers from 3 counties 5 1/2 hours to find Paul Wayne and Willis Bolin, who had gone hunting ginseng in the Tar Fork area of Lewis County when Bolin lost his footing, fell over a log 12 feet and hit rocks.
Paul Wayne hiked nearly fifteen miles to a nearby store and called his sister Brenda, who called 911.
Rescue crews found Willis Bolin dehydrated with several broken bones, but alive. He was taken by helicopter to St. Mary's Hospital in Huntington.

Injured ginseng hunter rescued in Lewis County TAR FORK — By working together, three dozen rescuers were able to bring an injured ginseng hunter to safety Monday evening.
According to Lewis Count Deputy Sheriff Dwayne Stone, about 2 p.m., Monday, Willis Bolin, 48, of West Liberty, was hunting for ginseng with his brother Paul Wayne Bolin in a remote area of Lewis County known as Tar Fork.
"This is the time of year a lot of ginseng hunters are out, and they are sometimes not familiar with their surroundings," Stone said.
Willis Bolin apparently tripped over a log and fell 15 to 20 feet off a rock ledge and was severely injured, Stone said.
"He had injuries to his tibia, fibula, shoulder, collar bone and pelvis; his brother tried to make him comfortable; then he went for help." said Stone.
Getting help meant a long walk to where Paul Bolin could get a cellular phone signal out, Stone said.
"He finally got hold of family members in West Liberty who got in contact with Route 377 Fire Department along with Rowan County EMS. They met with Paul at Kentucky 377, at Nolan's Grocery," Stone said.
Eventually, Carter and Lewis county rescuers were notified of the situation and 35-40 rescuers worked their way through 15 miles of rugged terrain which crossed from Rowan County into Carter County then into Lewis County to get to Willis Bolin.
"A helicopter was called in from PHI, and MedCorp Ambulance here in Lewis County responded, along with fire and rescue units from (multiple communities in the tri-county region)," Stone said.
From the time help arrived on the scene it took another 20 minutes to prepare Willis Bolin for transport and 45 minutes for rescuers to carry him to the landing zone for the helicopter, Stone said.
"It was about 7:30 p.m., when they arrived at the helicopter. We were all really glad we got him out before dark. He was in bad shape, and if his brother had not gone for help, he may have died of exposure," Stone said.
According to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Southeast Region officials, ginseng gathering is legal this time of year, with the Kentucky season running from Aug. 15 to December 1. Wild ginseng trade in Kentucky is a $5 to $8 million industry and Kentucky is the largest supplier of wild ginseng in the United States, averaging approximately 16 percent of the national harvest annually. The average wholesale value of wild ginseng to a root digger varies between $300 and $500 per pound.
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture implements the ginseng management program in Kentucky, which is required by federal regulations in order for Kentucky’s ginseng to be eligible for export from the United States. A high percentage of Kentucky’s ginseng is exported to Southeast Asia where it is used in the medicinal trade, officials said.
Willis Bolin was taken to Saint Mary's Medical Center in Huntington, W.Va., his current condition was unknown, Stone said.
