Oops! We could not locate your form.
The next phase of the Digital economy is upon us and it is called IoT. Sensor data is everywhere and those companies that don't take the leap toward turning sensor data into real time operational decisions, will quickly fall behind. The Oil and Gas Industry is at the forefront of the IoT revolution and living in a world where everything must compute.
Harnessing data and turning it into real time decisions is crucial in meeting production targets, reducing overall lifting costs, and achieving safety. While IT was moving to Public Cloud, IoT & OT is making on premise IT fashionable again! Highly intelligent applications and high performing processing capabilities will need to run at the Edge, on Oil Platforms, in Refineries, at field offices and within warehouses. This is what we call The Intelligent Edge.
Accenture and HPE will showcase how they are partnering together to activate the intelligent Edge for Oil and Gas companies. Why it is imperative for Oil & Gas companies to transform the Enterprise Network now to achieve the Enterprise wide Hybrid IT Platform IoT demands. Finally, how these solutions can be acquired on premise with minimal upfront capital under an "As-a-Service" commercial model.
Bsquare helps its customers extract business value from an array of corporate assets by making them intelligent, connecting them and using data collected from them to deliver better business outcomes. Bsquare DataV software solutions have been deployed by enterprises to create business-focused Internet of Things (IoT) systems that effectively monitor assets, automate processes, predict events and in general optimize business outcomes.

Discover your untapped assets for oil and gas applications
'Big Data' and the 'Internet of Things' are driving the rapid pace of digital adoption across multiple industries. Facing a potentially 'lower for longer' commodity price scenario, the oil and gas industry is beginning a transformation of its own, increasingly looking toward data-driven solutions to improve their bottom line. Siemens, the German engineering conglomerate, is at the forefront of this trend. With a focus on asset management—from pre-FEED through operations and maintenance—the company is applying software-based solutions to enhance design and manufacturing through advanced virtualization, as well as to optimize the performance of mission-critical equipment through remote monitoring and data analytics. Siemens built its extensive capabilities through research and development, as well as strategic acquisitions and partnerships with premier technology providers, such as Atos.

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Senslytics is carving a new space around "IoT driven Analytics" to provide alerts to avoid emergency and non compliance. We believe that emergency is NOT an accident, it happens from well coordinated set of events; just that these events happen in an "unobserved space". With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT), more and more of these obscure spaces will be visible. We can collect the relevant data from various structured and unstructured data sources and then apply data science to predict emergencies. Our vision is to reduce emergencies from happening and possibly prevent emergencies altogether. Monitoring the "context state" and projecting possible noncompliance, failure or emergencies and with great precision are the key.

Our new god and new religion.
Soon we will have new god and new religion.
What will happen when people follow a new god who lives in our technology and depends on our working model? Yes, it is possible.
Some of the sci-fi movies had shown already AI is developing rapidly without hands of human after it is started. We ask AI bot to check the weather, traffic on roads, flight schedules and also so many are listed which we can make AI work. Some of the engineers are depending on the working accuracy and intelligence of AI, and why not they believe, it gives incredible results.
Sounds bizarre but Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be going to be new god for human by 2029. Computers and technologies are developing more rapidly than any other. Moreover, now, the geek person Stephen Hawking has mentioned already AI could destroy humanity soon. We recently heard about Mark Zuckerberg and his AI which leads to damaging the Facebook and creating another language for new bots. After that we all people knew that how much it could be the danger if it gets the rise. There is no doubt it would take the place of human not only in working locations but also in real life.
Just want to add another objection upon AI, the busiest country Japan is on the top level of using new gadgets everywhere. They are so keen on their works that they use the device for pleasure and entertainments. They soon depend on bots, and after Saudi, Japan is trying to adopt the AI bot on their daily life. "The recent coverage of AI as a single, unified power is a predictable upshot of a self-aggrandizing Silicon Valley culture that believes it can summon a Godhead," says Thomas Arnold, a research associate at Tufts University's Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory.
An AI could write a bible for how to live and expect humans to become subservient. It's one reason Elon Musk has decried the dangers of AI, saying superintelligence is more dangerous than North Korean nukes. Musk has slammed the concept of an AI "god."
We saw Resident Evil Retribution's RED QUEEN, Echelon Conspiracy's AI spying software, Fast & Furious 7's GODS EYE and many more which shows different-different technologies and also proves that AI can be more dangerous after it rises into the system and human life.
However, if we see the AI from their feet, AI bot can be useful if we take them into real life with good purposes because it is likely a parrot repeats same lines what is taught in the beginning.
Of course, a super-intelligent AI would likely not want to be worshipped, preferring to merely guide humanity in ways that we perceive as being (mostly) helpful.

Due primarily to the presence of measurement bias in the selected studies, the quality of the evidence was considered predominantly moderate. Statistically significant associations were not observed when artesunate-mefloquine (ASMQ) was compared to other artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). For comparisons with artesunate-amodiaquine and artesunate+sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, the results were favourable to ASMQ. No deaths were attributed to ASMQ, severe adverse events were rare and some studies indicate a higher frequency of mild adverse events.

Outfit of the day
Yesterday I got a membership at the fitness center, course surely I need to train this summervacation tummy away!! ;D If you're sitting at home thinking maybe i should do some training. Then get your ass over to the fitness center and get a membership, it's a good start. Talking about fitness I wanted to recommend a great fitness site, slimkicker.com
Try checking it out! And think about the fitness idea, I'm usually not the type who is running and training ever but I will try, because who wants to die young? Or have 5 kilos to much? Get started now!
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been writing so much, I just have very much going on lately, I just started high school, and my new class are all very sweet! ;D And then my new job also takes a lot of my time along with homework and friends. 😉
So in my holidays, my friend and I took some pictures. Ready to see:
What I'm wearing:
H&M pants, zipper in the left side.
Vintage top from NYC.
Jeffrey Campell foxy shoes.
Mulberry bag.
I have just been looking at Nelly.com on some cheeper shoes.
These shoes are from mango.com (buy them here: http://shop.mango.com/DK/p0/mango/shoes/sandals–pumps/fetish-sandals/?id=73622028_02&n=1&s=zapatos.Sandals_Pumps&ie=0&m=&ts=1344783232733)
I have been looking at some shoes that looks like these and are a bit cheeper.
These shoes are from nelly.com
(buy them here: http://nelly.com/dk/sko-kvinde/sko/festsko/nelly-shoes-427/cit-428091-29/)
They're a bit cheeper and then I like them as well.
These are from nelly.com as well, and then they're neon, which is just great. (buy them here: http://nelly.com/dk/sko-kvinde/sko/festsko/nellyshoes-427/davidina-428107-67/)
Then I also found a bit lookalike for a lovely pair of Louis Vuitton's. These are the Louis Vuitton's.
And here:
I know that these of course, can't ever be as great as the louis vuitton's but for those of us who does not have so many money, and have to go for more cheep shoes these are great as well. (buy them here: http://nelly.com/dk/sko-kvinde/sko/festsko/nelly-shoes-427/jade-428146-75/)
They're also in white:
(buy them here: http://nelly.com/dk/sko-kvinde/sko/festsko/nellyshoes-427/jade-428146-1/)
So yesterday I just ordered a watch from ASOS.com cause I really need a watch! So I'm looking forward to getting it, though it will first be here at the 13 of August… I showed you the watch in one of my posts, it's this one: http://www.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2082816
Yesterday was a very great day I spent it with my friend shopping, I got a pair of sunglasses for only 60 danish kroner (8,06 euro, 6,34 british pound, 9,85 dollars) Now there's not long before I leave for Bornholm with my friend, I'll probably not be able to write so much while I'm there, there's no internet, but I'll try figuring something out! ;D
Beautiful photos of hiking and other outdoor adventures.

RACISM (white supremacy) - psychopathic degeneracy. 2) the local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined, which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet earth – a planet upon which the vast majority of people are classified as non-white (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people." [MORE]
- People who classify themselves as White, who wish to be taken seriously, and who are righteous and responsible, will only talk about ending White Supremacy (Racism) and replacing it with Justice. For further understanding, read "The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy)", 1970. Also, "The Isis Papers (The Keys to the Colors)", Frances C. Welsing, Third World Press, 1990. [MORE] And, FUNKTIONARY by Dr. Varius Blynd
racists - upholders, supporters and perpetrators of the institution of the White Supremacy Dynamic. An often misunderstood term confusing bigotry (personal dislike of a clan of men and women) with that of a system of oppression (structured and perpetuated injustice—racism) by merchants and slavers (Corporate State and their bastard, equally fictitious but deadly offspring, megacorporations). (See: Bigot, Corporate State, Corporations & Person). [MORE]

One of my favorite things about being "mobile" with my art supplies is taking the Canvas Painting Parties into your homes. SO much fun! Last week I was invited to Christina's and The Jensen's.
At Christina's, members of The George Family got together with dinner, vino, aunts, nieces, in-laws, and cousins on a Tuesday night. We set up in the walk-out basement, turning Christina's home into an art studio while painting "Forest Stream".
At Michael & Kim's, family members and friends gathered on a Sunday for Brunch. We painted out on the screened in porch, while enjoying muffins, mimosa's, bloody Mary's and quiche. We turned The Jensen's home into an art studio while painting "Dolphin Friends".
Check out some of our pictures. Thank you to all of you who welcome me into your home and allow me to share my love of teaching art with you! If you would like to host a Canvas Painting Party at your house, get together 10 people, pick out a painting from our Painting Library, and give me a shout! Party at your house! Let's do it!

text: I was recently reading Matthew chapter 17. In it, Matthew recounts the event we know today as the Transfiguration. Jesus is revealed in His glorious form, in front of His closest disciples: Peter, James and John.The Father speaks to those there in an audible voice saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." These are the same words the Father declared when Jesus was baptized (Matthew 3:17). However, this time, the Father adds this statement: "Listen to him!" And yes, most translations include the exclamation mark!What do we learn from this? It's a bit hard to literally "listen" to Jesus, yet we can read His words as recorded in the Bible. Is it enough to read those words? I think not! Just as with our children when we tell them something; we want them to hear what we say, but then also obey what we say. The same applies here with the Father's exhortation for us to "listen" to Jesus. He doesn't just want us to read what Jesus said, but also to do what He says.Hear and Obey!God bless,Tim Connelly

It could be said that writing any sort of memoir is an exercise in vanity; for it presupposes that some other persons might be interested in the comings and goings of the writer's life. I do not know if I am guilty of said vanity, for even as I write, I am fully aware that the very existence of this narrative could pose a great threat to those portrayed herein, should the content ever come to light. Even committing such information to paper, outside the confines of the Library of the order to which I belong is expressly forbidden, for fear it should fall into the wrong hands. And yet, I feel the need to tell this tale, for all that it could lead to my expulsion from the order and worse. Perhaps some day, God willing, circumstances will be such that no harm can come of it any more. Then, maybe this, my extreme folly, vain or otherwise, shall come to be known by others.
Allow me to introduce myself. I shall not reveal the name my mother gave me, but for want of a better pseudonym, call me Brother James. That is not the name I am known as within the order, but it will suffice. The name of the order should also remain unknown, but among ourselves, we nickname ourselves the Black Friars. That might give you the impression that we are a religious order, but we are far from monastic. The name reflects, rather, the location of our main offices, but do not go trying to find us there. With so many businesses and offices and institutions, we are not easy to find, if we do not want to be found. You might think of us as observers and recorders. Whom do we observe and recall? Our business is those who walk among us who are not entirely human; those creatures that form part of our nightmares and dreams, creatures from folklore, myth and legend; the werewolf, the vampire, the beast in the sewers and other such beings. In truth, we do more than observe; for it is our purpose and duty to ensure that such beings remain in the province of fairy tales and legends, by minimising their imprint upon the everyday world. We assist those that do more good than ill, as best we can and for those that do more ill than harm, we try to mitigate what harm we cannot prevent. Sometimes, we remain the man behind the curtain, but often we are known, as individuals anyway, to the targets of our endeavours, as employees or friends, so that we can be close without ever revealing our true purpose. And, on top of that, we make sure that we know enough of the affairs of others, enough to ensure that we always have friends in high places, should official records need a little cosmetic adjustment or news stories to remain unprinted. It is what we do, and we do it well.

Sweden is a Scandinavian nation with thousands of coastal islands and inland lakes, along with vast boreal forests and glaciated mountains. Its principal cities, eastern capital Stockholm and southwestern Gothenburg and Malmö, are all coastal. Stockholm is built on 14 islands. It has more than 50 bridges, as well as the medieval old town, Gamla Stan, royal palaces and museums such as open-air Skansen.
Summer in Stockholm is a bike lovers paradise. In some ways, using a car during the warm season seems ludicrous. Pedaling along the bright, winding alleys of old town and exploring islands of the archipelago by bike is a healthy, and useful way to get oriented.
In many ways, Stockholm is a perfect city. There are no homeless people, diversity is fully embraced, and education is free. This country has had it figured out for years. This is a metropolis you can't get bored of -- as long as you can afford it. Here is my guide to the Nordic paradise.
Stockholm's cool Nordic beauty encompasses all aspects of city life. After a several days of exploring the metropolis you'll need a moment to relax. What better way to do that than a day at the sky high spa.
Local chefs are turning Stockholm into Europe's rising culinary star. In summer, Neo-Viking chefs utilize all that nature can provide while crops are in bloom. To learn a bit more about Nordic cuisine first hand, I met with my friend Gunilla from Food Tours Stockholm.
Nature is never far away in Stockholm. From the rivers and lakes that surround the 14 islands of the metropolis, to the lush forests thirty minutes from city center. There are always opportunities to escape from the busy life of modern Stockholm. In this city, you can take a wildlife safari.
Stockholm's crisp, yet trendy, atmosphere is incredibly beautiful. What better way to learn about it's history than from above? Here they offer a unique rooftop tour that is perfect for those not afraid of heights!

Fantômas is back in town.
His penchant for masquerade is
informed by a close reading of
sermons using hermeneutic methods.
He asks for a room at the
back, not the front of the hotel.
His conception of history & geology
comes from mass-produced fictional
texts that are in transmedia circulation.
He decides to change his clothes.
He told a newspaper. "I've no ex-

on the plane. I love Harrison Ford."
He stood up for an America
staying quiet but largely
fueled by basic research
into cell biology & renewed

We recently attended Ogilvy's fascinating festival of behavioural science, which delved deeper into human nature and put the legends of the specialism in the spotlight.
The festival put on a fantastic show with an array of speakers from a multitude of industries and disciplines – from economics to forensic science to internet dating. We took out 4 key lessons for loyalty marketers.
Lesson 1:
"Don't look for rules – look for patterns. Context is key."
Rory Sutherland, Vice-chairman at Ogilvy
Data is influential in everyday marketing but can't be applied in isolation. Contextual relevance is key to understanding the situations, pressures and feelings of your audience. He explained with an anecdote:
"Once I landed at Gatwick and the pilot said, 'I've got bad news and good news. The bad news is we're not going to get an air bridge because there's a plane blocking our gate. The good news is that the bus will take you all the way to passport control, so you won't have far to walk with your bags."
It is pivotal to understand how, by showing something in a different context, you can change its desirability, even turn a negative into a positive. He urged marketers to search for behavioural patterns not rules, describing how rules stifle our success. Imagination, combined with data plus contextual relevance, is the key to creating something potent and everlasting.
What loyalty programmes can learn: Good member engagement is heavily reliant on the smart application of creativity, data and contextual relevance. Use all three, not just one in developing your loyalty strategies. For example, in our work with Virgin Red, we used our YouGov audience data to identify a need for a take-away partner from our members. That data told us that Papa John's was the perfect partner. Creativity and smart application of contextual relevance meant that we developed a series of compelling rewards and offers for members. Offering a free pizza on England match days during the World Cup was the killer combo of data, creativity and contextual relevance in action – a partnership so good it made the news https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/shopping-deals/virgin-red-world-cup-pizza-12732889.
Lesson 2:
"Understand what the evidence means"
Ruth Morgan, Professor of Crime & Forensics
"We are experts at detecting traces, whether that's gunshot residue or DNA. But to address this problem of misinterpreted evidence, we need to know what the evidence means."
This segment focused on the importance of evidence and how it is critical to understand where it is coming from and what it actually means, not what we think it means. Often loyalty marketers lack the ability to decipher what the data they have truly means.
What loyalty programmes can learn: Invest the time and resource to understand what the data actually means. For example,in our recent study with YouGov on "what the British think of Loyalty Programmes", http://www.mando-connect.co.uk/2018/06/what-the-british-think-of-loyalty-programmes/, we learnt that 39% of 18 to 24-year-olds don't belong to a loyalty programme. They are far less likely to be members of programmes than older age groups. In order to understand the meaning behind that data, we conducted further primary research. 18-24s are in fact very interested in and engaged by loyalty programmes – but they do not want to carry loyalty cards. So they don't sign up. They want apps. By offering apps programmes can significantly increase sign-up of 18-24s. This "meaning behind the data" offers great actionable insight for loyalty marketers.
Lesson 3:
"Everyone affects everyone"
Nicholas Christakis – Sol Goldman family professor
"If you have Tom, Dick and Harry in a room, whether Dick is friends with Harry, it depends not just on Dick's genes or on Harry's genes, but on Tom's genes."
The professor highlighted that everyone's habits affect everyone around them. When focussing on social connections, behavioural research studies suggest that the social effects of people using a product near your social circle can heavily determine your own behaviour. Numerous social studies also highlight that brands which target social groups to share a message can deliver a far higher ROI than those which just push widespread messages. These studies show that tapping into similarity and clustering can significantly amplify messaging effectiveness.
What are the causes of similarity and clustering?
- Homophily – the tendency of individuals to associate and bond with similar others
- Induction – where habits can spread from person to person
- Context – Sharing exposure to a norm in the same environment
Through changing the rules of a social network or community with a number of 'nudges' and through connection, contagion and position, loyalty marketers can influence behaviour, change norms and spread messages.
What loyalty programmes can learn: By building communities which interact, share and even gift points or rewards to each other, marketers can improve programme effectiveness.
Lesson 4:
Mark Brooks – Founder and president of the internet dating excellence association (IDEA)
"People are very eliminatory when it comes to dating profiles. Shorter profiles are better."
Mark highlighted that simplicity, personalisation and tapping into the sub conscious are essential for success in the dating industry; these same principles should be a core focus for loyalty marketers.
He explained less is more. Shorter dating profiles do much better due to the "halo effect" – which suggests that if the initial opinion of the individual is positive then it is more likely you will see them in a similar light in the future. He also attributed the success of the dating industry to tailored experiences, which always keep the user top of mind and keep them at the heart of the experience. And finally to the industry's ability to tap into the sub-conscious – using the example of Tinder's extremely compulsive interface and its revolutionary swipe function – as perfect ways to engage the system one part of the human brain.
What loyalty programmes can learn: Simplicity, personalisation and tapping into the sub conscious should be 3 areas of focus for programmes.
Loyalty programmes have a lot to learn from behavioural science and our day at Nudgestock merely scratched the surface of the opportunity. We are looking forward to finding out more.
4 lessons for loyalty marketers:
- Good member engagement is heavily reliant on the smart application of creativity, data and contextual relevance. Use all three, not just one in developing your loyalty strategies.
- Invest the time and resource to understand what the data actually means.
- By building communities which interact, share and even gift points or rewards to each other, marketers can improve programme effectiveness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leigh53 from Great little shaver. I bought this about a month ago but have only used it once and so far found it worked better once dry unbathed hair than it did on the other leg after a shower. I know I put a bit to much thought into that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Monty92 from Great product. Not for underarms Took a while to get used to it and finding the best way it works but now it's so quick and easy to use for shaving in and out of the shower. Gets a really close shave and leaves legs so smooth. Wouldn't recommend for underarms though as I ended up with a lot of scratches in my underarms from the shaver. Have tried it a few times and every time I have I get the scratches on my underarms, but never on my legs

What is the difference between the Remington WDF4839AU and WDF4829AU is it just the extra bikini trimmer?

Hi Suuzs, We recommend contacting your local Shaver Shop to see if they can supplement you with a spare. Thanks, Shaver Shop

Is there a better one than this one?
This is the only one I have ever used. I think there are cheaper ones and more expensive ones, but still there are very few choices with women's razors. Works well on the legs. I don't recommend using on armpits, I have a graze after trying!
Date published: 2018-11-14
Can this be used on the face?
My daughter asked the same question, (can this be used on your face). My advice is no. I would go something like an Epilady. They pull the hair from the root. Where as this dry and wet shaver only trims the hair.

My Remington Cordless (Model 4820) wet/dry lady shaver is more than 2 years old however I have misplaced the charger. Am I able to obtain a new base only?
