A Scandalous Wager
Imprint: Escape Publishing
Release date: 2014-11-01
Pages: 173 Pages
As the Black Raven, she's cold, distant and alone…untouched by the gossip and scorn of her aristocratic peers. Until he enters her house — and her life — then suddenly her icy shell is no match for the heat of attraction...
Notorious Widow Lisbeth Carslake, Countess of Blackhurst was acquitted of her husband's murder, but no one believes in her innocence. Known as the Black Raven, bringer of bad luck and death, she is eviscerated by the gossips and mocked in the clubs.
She's also the subject of London's most scandalous wager.
Oliver Whitely, Earl of Bellamy, needs money, but it takes more than a few drinks to take on The Black Raven Wager. He finds himself drunk, at her house, and—more surprisingly—agreeing to a business proposal at the end of a fire poker.
She will let him win the wager, and he will help find her husband's killer before the killer finds her. But business agreements don't mean trust, and Lisbeth certainly doesn't trust Oliver, her body's reaction to him, or her heart.
Love may be the biggest gamble of their lives, but is it a wager their hearts can afford to lose?

THE READERS WRITEThe story of the suffocating culture at the AKI art academy in Enschede, and in particular the response from the board, has raised eyebrows at Geert Sanders, professor of Organizational Culture at the University of Groningen. He wrote an open letter to the chairman of the ArtEZ Supervisory Board.
I would like to draw your attention to the following. On Wednesday 28 September 2022 I read in Tubantia the article ‘AKI’s culture (ArtEZ – University of the Arts) is under heavy fire’. An overview is given of a grim, suffocating working atmosphere that burdens both students and teachers.
Educators are resigning, fed up with the processes of disqualification, vilification and manipulation. In 2020, the students addressed the board in an open letter, in which they indicated that both they and their critical lecturers feel silenced by the board.
I got a concrete insight into ArtEZ’s operation from the Gelderland district court’s judgment of 8 June 2022, in which the district court concluded that ArtEZ acted illegally towards a student and that ArtEZ must therefore compensate the damage the student has suffered. It literally says that ArtEZ has not acted as can be expected of a reasonably acting and reasonably competent educational institution.
In said article i Tubantia also includes the reaction of the chairman of ArtEZ’s executive board. I fell off my chair reading this. I would expect that the instructor, after knowing the content, would adopt an open attitude and take the trouble to put himself in the position of the various parties involved in the training. In my view, that would be the appropriate attitude of a reasonably functioning and reasonably competent director.
The opposite happened. Instead of letting the alarming developments in the institution and the problems that students and teachers deal with on a daily basis take effect, the chairman of the board states that ‘the board wants to guarantee the safety of our courses’ and ‘that the board is doing well. -being of the students always comes first’. The flight to the front ends with the observation that ‘the board must make do with what it has.’
There is no sign of any critical self-reflection and any degree of self-responsibility. Admittedly, the chairman of the board says that he is aware that ArtEZ has lost the aforementioned lawsuit. But the chairman insists the program has tried to do so carefully. Not a word about the pain and sorrow of the student who saw his studies fail and who has to start all over again somewhere else.
I can only conclude that this driver is using all his energy to save his own skin. “Of course, an objective culture survey will be conducted soon and any necessary adjustments will be made.” Do you believe it? Not me. Self-reinforcing processes of intimidation and fear will continue to plague training. Unless…
I am sending you this letter out of my interest in the role you envision as Chairman of the ArtEZ Supervisory Board. My colleague Rienk Goodijk (VU), an expert in research into the quality of management and supervision, states that a supervisor is expected to be able to challenge the director, but at the same time he actively monitors whether he/she does so. not exhibit irresponsible behavior and that the public importance is not lost sight of.
You understand that I am seriously concerned about the functioning of the ArtEZ Executive Board. I would be happy to receive further information from you on the steps you intend to take from the ArtEZ Supervisory Board.

Why Air Conditioning Fixing is essential for Your Home or Company
As the temperature level climbs throughout the summertime, a/c comes to be a crucial component of your residence or service. However, gradually, your a/c system will certainly begin to break, which can cause inefficient cooling, high energy costs, and also prospective safety risks. That’s why a/c repair service is essential for your comfort and safety and security. In this post, we’ll talk about why cooling repair work is vital and also what benefits it can provide.
Benefits of Cooling Repair
1. Energy Savings A properly maintained air conditioning system takes in much less energy than a malfunctioning one. When your AC system is not operating correctly or has a blocked filter, it needs to work more difficult to cool your home or organization. This causes increased power consumption, which can lead to higher power costs. By having your air conditioner system fixed, you can decrease your power usage and also conserve cash on your regular monthly energy costs. 2. Improved Air Top Quality An improperly preserved air conditioner system can lead to an accumulation of dust, dirt, and various other airborne allergens in the ductwork or filters. Breathing in these pollutants can cause breathing troubles, allergic reactions, as well as other wellness issues. Routine cooling repair service can aid guarantee that your air conditioning system is running efficiently, which can cause better air quality for you, your family, or your staff members.
3. Longer Life expectancy Like any type of various other home appliance, air conditioning systems can be vulnerable to deterioration, specifically when they’re being used regularly in hotter temperature levels. Disregarding air conditioning repair can result in system malfunctions, which can be expensive to fix or perhaps require a complete replacement of your air conditioner system. By organizing normal maintenance and repairs, you can prolong the life of your a/c system as well as prevent pricey substitutes.
Cooling repair work is necessary to make sure that your a/c system is working at its finest to keep your residence or organization cool as well as secure. Routine maintenance and also upkeep can reduce power consumption, enhance air quality, and extend the life expectancy of your air conditioner system. If you’re experiencing any type of cooling problems or seeing signs and symptoms such as mildewy smells or bad air movement, it’s time to arrange a/c repair service. By focusing on maintenance and repairs, you can take pleasure in trusted, reliable cooling throughout the summer season.

When Congress allowed the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program to sunset in 2013, Republicans were vilified for enacting such a draconian measure. In hindsight it worked and resulted was a surge of “long-term unemployed” workers going back to work. In 2014 unemployment steadily declined from 6.6% to 5.6% in 2014.
At the start of 2016 unemployment stood at a healthy 4.9%. The only remaining conundrum was how to get more able bodied Americans workers back into the labor force. That appears to be happening this year. The March employment report included an observation that after a decade long decline the labor force participation rate continued to inch up from 62.6% at the end of the year to 63% in March.
Where and why are workers finally starting to emerge from the abyss of the great recession? It’s not demographics or economic strength. Once again it appears to be sensible changes to government food assistance programs. We used to call them food stamps but nowadays the 74 billion dollar Federal food program is called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP.
Starting in April, SNAP benefits for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWD) will be limited as Congress passes more authority back to states to make the program more efficient. 40 states will limit the able bodied to 3 months of benefits every three years. I will be watching the labor force participation rates in these states to see if they vary from other states who aren’t limiting food stamps to the most needy. I would wager that the 3 month participation rate trend will grow as people who can work are nudged back into the workforce.

'Inner voices': US scientists spy on human minds with brain decoder
Keeping your thoughts strictly to yourself may soon prove infeasible, with scientists working on a break-through, mind-reading device. The idea is to help people who are physically unable to interact with the outside world.
In fact, it's all about hearing "inner voices" and correctly
interpreting them with the help of unique individual decoders, a
researcher from the University of California, Berkley, explained.
"If you're reading text in a newspaper or a book, you hear a voice in your own head. We're trying to decode the brain activity related to that voice to create a medical prosthesis that can allow someone who is paralyzed or locked in to speak," Brian Pasley told New Scientist magazine.
The team of researchers recorded brain activity in seven people
undergoing epilepsy surgery, while they looked at a screen
displaying texts from either one of the best-known speeches in US
history: the Gettysburg Address by President Abraham Lincoln, or
John F. Kennedy's inaugural address.
Each volunteer taking part in the experiment was asked to read their chosen text both aloud and silently. The challenge was to figure out which neurons reacted to specific aspects of speech in order to create a personalized decoder to turn this information into a visual representation.
Although the decoder was able to successfully reconstruct which
words several of the volunteers were thinking, "it's not good
enough yet to build a device," Stephanie Martin, who worked
on the study with Pasley, told the magazine.
The researchers are currently sharpening the algorithms, scrutinizing the nuts and bolts of neural activity, especially the area concerned with speaking rate and different pronunciations of the same word.
The team is also trying to guess what a person is listening to by
playing Pink Floyd songs to volunteers. "Sound is
sound," Pasley wrapped up. "It all helps us understand
different aspects of how the brain processes it."
In their previous study, when neuroscientists were hoping to produce sound from thoughts, they recorded brain activity in people who already had electrodes in their brain to treat epilepsy. They discovered that certain neurons in the brain's temporal lobe only responded actively to particular aspects of sound.
In 2011, Hollywood epics, such as Madagascar 2, Pink Panther 2 and Star Trek, helped researchers from UC Berkeley monitor the blood flow in human brain with MRI scanners, and eventually recreate images similar to those being screened.

What if the most important story in your life was not your own?
Billie Holiday, one of the greatest voices of all time, a woman of breath-taking talent and global popularity, was throughout her short life a figure of controversy - a black woman in a white man’s world, a victim and a rebel whose infamous ‘Strange Fruit’, the first protest song, earned her powerful enemies. She was also an enigma, her telling of her own life story a mix of half-truths and free-form improvisations.
Then in 1971, journalist Linda Kuehl set out to write the definitive biography of Billie. Over 8 years, she tracked down and tape-recorded interviews with the extraordinary characters that populated the iconic singer’s short, tumultuous life. Raw, emotional and brutally honest, these incredible testimonies ranged from jazz greats like Charles Mingus, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett and Count Basie to her step-parents and school friends, jail-mates and lawyers, pushers, pimps and even the FBI agents who arrested her. But Linda’s book was never finished and the tapes thought lost forever – until now.
With unprecedented and exclusive access to Linda's astonishing 200 hours of never-before-heard interviews, BILLIE will play out like a film noir. Melding archive and drama, animation and still images, true crime and social history, BILLIE will capture the depths and complexity of a legend from those who knew her best, talking candidly to the woman whose obsession with the story would lead to her own mysterious and untimely death.

Baxter has committed resources to relief organizations and Baxter teams are providing support to hospitals and healthcare providers who are on the frontlines of patient care.
- Donations for Humanitarian Relief: Through the Baxter International Foundation, we’ve provided financial support to Project HOPE to mobilize critical supplies for healthcare workers in China. The organization has delivered personal protective equipment throughout the country, including more than two million respirator masks, 280,000 pairs of exam gloves, and 11,000 protective coveralls. We have also made cash donations to the Chinese Red Cross to aid in its relief efforts.
- Product Donations: Given the critical role our medical devices and medicines play in patient care, we have a comprehensive product donation program to support communities in need around the world. In response to the coronavirus outbreak, we have donated several continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) systems, which are used to treat patients experiencing sudden kidney failure due to a severe case of the disease. Additionally, we have donated thousands of masks and other personal protective equipment for use by healthcare providers.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): PPE, such as gloves, masks and gowns, is in high demand by healthcare professionals and companies like Baxter, as our infection control procedures require that all manufacturing employees wear PPE while on the job. We have worked collaboratively with our global network of suppliers to significantly ramp up the amount of PPE available for our employees and partners. We have donated thousands of pieces of PPE for use by healthcare providers in China, provided PPE to our suppliers so they could restart operations while protecting their teams, and distributed PPE to our employees so they could take them home for their families.
- Critical Support for Healthcare Providers: Our team is providing frontline assistance to healthcare providers as they manage the influx of critically ill patients requiring care. We have increased production of key products and optimized our supply chain network, including working with third-party suppliers and expanding shipping options, all to ensure healthcare needs are being met. Our technical services and clinical support teams have quickly installed more than 150 CRRT and hemodialysis systems across several hospitals in China and have provided clinical training to hospital staff to enable them to treat more patients. We are also using digital tools for live training and individualized clinical support for nurses and physicians.
- Supporting Dialysis Patients: The outbreak has impacted other areas of healthcare. Given reduced shipping capacity in China, our logistics team is working tirelessly to ensure that home dialysis patients have the supplies they need to continue to complete daily treatment. In Hong Kong and China, our clinical teams are using virtual training tools, so patients can begin home dialysis treatment without delay.
- Protecting Our Employees: We immediately activated our response plan to protect our employees’ health and safety across all Baxter facilities. Our plan follows the guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization and includes steps such as symptom screening at building entrances, use of respiratory protection for key personnel, and travel restrictions. Our existing flexible workplace policies have enabled our employees to work remotely while maintaining business continuity. All Baxter sites are currently prepared to implement additional measures should the need arise.

If you haven't been paying attention to software containers and Docker, you might want to start now. Based on the new strategic partnership announced by Google, VMware and Pivotal called Pivotal Container Service (PKS - that's not a typo), it would appear the enterprise container market is for real. In fact many IT insiders consider the potential impact of software containers on IT to be along the same scale as server virtualization.
HOW DID ENTERPRISE CONTAINER PLATFORMS BECOME A THING?
At the core of the enterprise container movement is a smartly run, little ($1B) startup called Docker, Inc. They spent most of their first three years sponsoring the Docker community project and in their 4th year started on a brisk path to change how software is built, managed and deployed in the enterprise with Docker Enterprise Edition. As a result of Docker enterprise product strategy and latest release of Docker EE 17.06, large vendors who sell commercial proprietary data center and cloud solutions are starting to respond. Docker EE's capabilities and continued commitment to the Docker Community pose a real threat to VMware, AWS ECS, Red Hat and Pivotal's Cloud Foundry.
OK, maybe. ...but why do Google, VMware and Pivotal really care about Docker?
- Docker (Enterprise or Community Editions) running on a bare metal OS could make VMware irrelevant. It's worth noting both Pivotal and VMware are owned by Dell-EMC. Meanwhile Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is working closely with Docker on their Modernization of Traditional Applications (MTA) program to demonstrate up to a 45% reduction in resource consumption when going to bare metal (cutting VMware out of the picture). Oh, and HPE announced they are now shipping Docker with their servers.
- While PaaS usually works well for cloud hosted solutions, by most accounts running a PaaS like Pivotal's Cloud Foundry in your own data center is a pretty daunting task. Docker EE on the other hand, allows enterprises to migrate to and from the cloud without re-architecting their stack or incurring additional licensing cost. So, Docker opens the door for PaaS customers to seek the freedom of open container-based development and to build their own completely extensible container-based service platforms without the inherent functional limitations of PaaS. The new PKS offering gives Pivotal an on premises story for open(ish) container-based development, albeit heavily tied to VMware.
- Google should be concerned about Docker's built in Swarm orchestration is becoming a capable competitor to Google's Kubernetes orchestration tool. Swarm is baked into the Docker Community and Enterprise editions so there is nothing to install, it is secure by default, it is easy to use and it supports Windows nodes. Kubernetes has some cool features, but is difficult to install, configure and at the end of the day is just one more moving part/vendor in your stack. PKS gives Kubernetes an on-premise story and hopefully makes it a lot easier to install as long as you are willing to pay the price of VMware licensing.
- Finally, Google appears to be losing ground in the cloud services battle with Microsoft. Microsoft, a leading Docker contributor and Docker partner, is heavily leveraging Docker in their Azure cloud environment and their Windows Server 2016 Enterprise OS. Albeit Docker is just one part of Microsoft's cloud strategy, they are clearly moving ahead of Google in the cloud hosting space.
While I am not an expert on Pivotal's new PKS container service, it is clear from their website that it is heavily dependent on VMware. Meaning that even though you have some great community software in your stack, you are still locked into VMware and the associated fees.
On the other hand, if you opt for the Docker EE path, you can host your stack on bare metal servers, VMs and/or any cloud platform. This way you choose what's best for your enterprise and move your applications any time you need to without re-architecting your applications or the deployment stack. Oh ya, and your software is all part the Docker platform - all of the parts are designed to work together.
SO, IS DOCKER ENTERPRISE EDITION REALLY READY?
Docker clearly follows Lean/Agile development practices for their products. The feature set is driven by the needs of real users and they started with a minimal viable product (MVP). That means the early releases Docker EE were minimal and probably not on the radar of the big players. However, while this approach starts small by design, it also quickly yields a great product for users in a relatively short period of time. ...and that's exactly what's happened with Docker EE over the last 12 months.
Just a few weeks ago Docker released their EE 17.06 product. This version feels like a polished enterprise product that adds some practical and very useful overhaul of the previous version, including a clean GUI update for their Universal Control Plane, resource collections and straight forward, fine-grained role-based access control for enterprise containers. Combine that with Community Editions multi-stage build and improved scheduling strategies along with the Docker Trusted Registry's support for better CI pipeline automation and you have something that's looking like an enterprise contender.
If you have not seen 17.06, you should take a look, especially if you are a Cloud Foundry customer and don't want to wait for PKS v1 to hit the market in Q4.
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE TRENCHES
Since now might be a really good time for you to start or take a fresh look at your enterprise container plans, I thought I'd share some recommendations based on experience with large and small clients. Upfront, I will stress that guidance from Docker accredited resources like NVISIA will dramatically reduce your timelines and improve the results. While I understand this sounds really self-serving, I have seen first-hand how an experienced Docker consultant can accomplish in just a few hours what a very smart in-house team struggles with for months.
Here are some recommendations for evaluating Docker EE:
- Get your technology leaders up to speed with authentic Docker guidance. The do it yourself (DIY) approach doesn't work well even with a very smart team. Because so much has changed so quickly in Docker platform there's a lot of outdated and possibly confusing information on the web. Since Docker is at the core of this movement and has the deepest experience with a variety of stacks, you should strongly consider sending a small team (prior to a proof of concept (POC) or Pilot) to Docker's instructor led, hands-on training. It covers both enterprise and community edition best practices and reference architectures.
- Don't waste your POC team's time installing Docker EE. The install is pretty straightforward, but nonetheless there are a few potential gotchas. So get a Docker expert like NVISIA to get you set up with a highly available environment - AWS is usually a great place to start. It takes less than a day and then have them walk you through the care and feeding of your new Docker EE VPC.
- Start small and change as little as possible. Pick up some existing applications, containerize them and deploy them. Initially, stick with your current data storage, database, logging, monitoring and backup technologies (adapted to containers of course).
- During the POC, evaluate resource requirements and maintenance efforts against your traditional hosting environment. If you don't see a dramatic drop in maintenance effort/time/cost, make sure you consult a Docker expert to make sure you have a solid container image design and build strategy.
- Move your POC application to Pilot mode and start bringing your developers CI Pipeline into your modernized enterprise container platform.
Please look for future posts on:

LaplandUK remains a royal favorite, having been visited by Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis in 2022.
The festive attraction’s popularity soared last year, drawing stars like Katie Piper, Jessie J, Michael Sheen, and David Tennant, who brought their families to Berkshire for a memorable holiday experience. Among the million guests who have attended since its opening in 2007 are celebrities such as Tom Hardy, Elton John, and the Beckhams.
Make sure to note the date in your calendar if you’re eager to partake in the enchanting theatrical Christmas event near Ascot, featuring reindeer, elves, and, of course, Santa Claus. Tickets for LaplandUK will be released on March 18, 2024.
Similar to Glastonbury’s ticket drop, last year’s event saw an overwhelming response, with over 200,000 guests anxiously waiting in the virtual queue, and tickets were sold out within a few hours.
So, what makes LaplandUK so special, you may wonder? In an interview last November, co-founders and executive producers of LaplandUK, Mike and Alison Battle explained why families from over 54 different countries come: “Every year the production continues to improve, powered by our commitment to create a believable world.”
The couple, alongside their children – who also work in the family business – are incredibly hard at work to make LaplandUK an amazing experience every year, so as many children as possible can enjoy it.
Of future plans, they added: “We have received interest from around the world for the live show and are in the planning stages of opening a second site in the UK.”
Mike and Alison also spoke about their inspiring plans to start a foundation “with the ambition, amongst other things, of placing a stocking on the bed of every child spending Christmas Eve in a UK hospital.” They added: “Our hope is that in five years’ time, we will have achieved this mission and expanded our horizons further, fulfilling the Christmas dreams of children all over the world.”
LaplandUK tickets can be purchased for dates ranging from November 9th to December 24th. Ticket prices vary between £60 and £190 per person, depending on the selected date. Premium prices apply to weekends and dates closer to Christmas Eve.

"Enter Dave and his newfound sunny disposition (that manifests itself in a curious way), all thanks to his new 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. Get in. Get happy."
Volkswagen says that Dave, who hails from Minnesota, "brightens up his dreary office environment with a positive attitude and inexplicable Caribbean accent."
Volkswagen teased its 2013 Super Bowl commercial last week with a video featuring reggae singer Jimmy Cliff teaching YouTube meltdowns to smile.
The automaker's 2013 Super Bowl ad is set to air during the second quarter of the game. The bar is high for Volkswagen's Super Bowl advertising effort. Edmunds has named The Force, the 2012 Super Bowl commercial for the Volkswagen Passat the best Super Bowl car ad of all time.
Edmunds says: Volkswagen seems to strike just the right note for the times with its 2013 Super Bowl commercial. But is it enough to top The Force?

The International Whaling Commission (IWC) is the global body charged with the conservation of whales and the management of whaling. The IWC currently has 88 member governments from countries all over the world. All members are signatories to the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW). This Convention is the legal framework which established the IWC in 1946.
Uncertainty over whale numbers led to the introduction of a ‘moratorium’ on commercial whaling in 1986. This remains in place although the Commission continues to set catch limits for aboriginal subsistence whaling. Today, the Commission also works to understand and address a wide range of non-whaling threats to cetaceans including entanglement, ship strike, marine debris, climate change and other environmental concerns.
OceanCare has been the only Swiss NGO acting as an observer to the IWC since 1992, with the objective of securing protection for whales in the world’s oceans. OceanCare has shed light on the health risks of whale meat consumption and the need for the IWC to cooperate with the World Health Organisation. OceanCare has provided focus on the legal limits of exercising power by states on other states (vote buying), and on NGO rights and duties. OceanCare experts formally participate in the IWC Scientific Committee.

As I begin to block in color on the distant part of this abandoned ore trestle, I am impressed by the amount of toil and sweat that went into building the Independence Mine. Every timber and rail had to be brought up Hatcher Pass with trucks and then ferried up the mountainside. Many of the heavy ore carts are still there, rusting on their tracks as if frozen in time. I think about the type of individual who worked at this huge mine, braving the elements and myriad dangers to blast the gold from its hidden veins inside the mountain. I hope this painting can in some way be a tribute to the rugged Alaskan spirit of the men who worked here.

It’s true. He really said that today.
He either does not understand that Canadian government debt is utterly the same thing as Canadian taxpayer debt, or worse, he does know, and he thinks you’re a complete freaking moron.
#BREAKING TRUDEAU: “WE TOOK ON DEBT SO CANADIANS DIDN’T HAVE TO”
This is right up there with “The budgets will balance themselves.”
In fact it’s right up there with the utter stupidity of his massive tens of billions of dollars in deficit spending in the years before the pandemic, during economic boom times in North America, when massive surpluses could have and should have been banked.
And right up there with not closing the borders and implementing strict quarantines early in the pandemic when he could have but chose not to, citing the possibility of it being perceived as “racist” and thus harming his relationship with the woke set.
And right up there with going out and joining a BLM demonstration in the midst of said pandemic, and literally getting down and taking a knee —in fealty to them and in a grand display of performative acquiescence to the trendy leftist revolution.
And actually, I could go on for an hour providing more examples of what it’s right up there with.

|Title:||Low cost black box for cars|
Sumam, David S.
|Citation:||Proceedings - 2013 Texas Instruments India Educators' Conference, TIIEC 2013, 2013, Vol., , pp.49-55|
|Abstract:||Automotive electronics plays a significant role in the automobile industry and provides luxurious features and more importantly addresses the safety and security concerns. The work presented in this paper aims at providing a cost effective solution to the design and development of an event data recorder which has been basically adopted from the aviation sector considering the need and the correlated benefits. The paper presents an integrated design of the black box with the basic features of the data recorder which could be very useful for domestic vehicles and at the same time it also hosts several additional features that could assist in mitigating the number of accidents, or at bare minimum, will serve as an analysis tool to prevent future accidents by analyzing the previous accidents. The black box also provides automatic accident notification system which helps in informing the nearest hospital and the traffic authority by providing not only the coordinates of the accident but also the exact physical address for immediate medical attention which can save numerous lives every day. The black box also hosts several other features like CAN compatibility, attractive user console and advanced web tracking anytime and from anywhere. Thus the overall cost is highly optimized by integrating such multiple features. � 2013 IEEE.|

This study included 2,315 healthy men between the age of 42 and 60 years (Laukkanen T, et. al., 2017).
The researchers investigated whether frequency of sauna bathing is associated with the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The sauna they used was a traditional Finish sauna.
The results showed that the men who used the sauna four to seven times per week had a 66 percent lower risk of developing dementia and a 65 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, compared to men who used the sauna only one time per week.
This was a dry sauna, and the temperature was at least 174 degrees Fahrenheit, and the time spent in the sauna was 20 minutes per session.
