Today, a new prescription drug was launched to address a new market that has emerged since Donald Trump won the U.S. Presidency. Since Mr. Trump’s inauguration as U.S. president,  some U.S. citizens are experiencing major health crises. Time has reported that “calls to crisis support lines have gone up significantly” since the election.

Medical experts have diagnosed the symptoms. They call the disease vector Trump Induced Anxiety Disorder, or TIAD.

Dr Texash-Americana Patrotica noted that Trump is the cause of TIAD in this mode

 

Many drug companies sensing opportunities have been working on this new disease which is a serious healthcare problem.  Until today, no solution exists for TIAD..Trumpater provides immunity and guards the security of the minds of Americans when consumed in the right dose as presented by the drug maker.

Symptoms of TIAD

The major symptoms are feeling of hopelessness, exhibiting bouts of sudden rage or regularly arguing with friends and family. You may also experience subdued feelings when you meet nationals from Britain, Canada and Germany. You keep comparing your president with leaders of other OECD countries.

It has been established that some of Mr. Trump’s executive actions and his gyrating press conferences are the factors triggering these anxieties in Americans. Medical doctors are yet to diagnose this problem in non-Americans.

In a study in Texas, there is a small cohort of Mexican immigrants who are experiencing TIAD. However, majority of sufferers are Americans.

Triggers of TIAD

The following are some major triggers of TIAD:

  • Trump’s tweets that make Americans look stupid before the world
  • Press conference performances so bad that circuits inside cameras get hot after recording Trump
  • Executive order aimed at “reorganizing the executive branch” and intended to “make it less wasteful and more productive.”
  • Revised executive order of the extreme vetting and travel ban the administration rolled out on Jan. 27, 2017.
  • An executive order that reviews the Waters of the U.S. Rule and Clean Water Act of 1972
  • An executive order that establishes regulatory reform officers to implement regulatory policies and cut those that unduly burden businesses
  • An order that changes the order of succession in the Department of Justice, it lays out who takes over if the attorney general dies, resigns or is incapable of ably performing the job.
  • A series of interrelated orders that focus on crime and violence against police officers.
  • An order directing the Secretary of the Treasury to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank Regulatory Law.
  • An executive order that expands regulatory review and aims to cut two existing regulations for each new regulation proposed.
  • An executive order that strengthens restrictions on lobbying. Employees of the executive branch, including those now in the White House, are barred from lobbying the agency where they worked for five years.
  • Calls for extreme vetting of refugees from “terrorist countries” who are attempting to seek asylum in the United States.
  • A directive for the Secretary of Homeland Security to prioritize particular undocumented immigrants (including those with criminal convictions and those who have only been charged) for deportation
  • A directive for the Secretary of Homeland Security to: begin the process of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, find federal funding for such a project, create border detention centers, add 5,000 Border Patrol agents to the current work force, cease
  • Expedites environmental reviews and approvals for “high priority infrastructure” projects.
  • An order minimizing the economic burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act pending repeal.

The Drug and Effect

Trumpazer is a prescription pill made by a U.S. based drug company which has come to the help of citizens for years with excellent drug for the security of human souls and assets. By taking this drug, an American develops immunity against TIAD security challenges in the mind.
It works on the metabolism transfiguring the central nervous system with parasympathetic nervous system with the result that endoplasmic hypothalamus moves to frontal lobe of the brain. When that happens, the efferent neurons are disconnected from the afferent neurons going to the intermediate neurons thereby disconnecting the synapses.
The effect is that the security threat in the mind is gone.

Order Trumpazer

To order Trumpazer, you must be at least 12 years old. Please schedule a visit for examination first. Click here today and you will be free of TIAD once Trimpazer begins to work on you after a week. It presents you with security of mind awareness to overcome all symptoms from TIAD.

What is Big Data? Beyond the “Three Vs”, The Additional “Four Vs”

By

The world generates data at an astonishing rate—about 2.5 quintillion bytes each day. Big data is huge and it is an emerging fascinating area.

But what is big data? That’s a good question. There seems to be as many definitions for big data as there are businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and individuals who want to benefit from it.

One popular interpretation of big data refers to extremely large data sets. A 2011 McKinsey study defined big data as “datasets whose size is beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage, and analyze.” Some have defined big data as an amount of data that exceeds a petabyte—one million gigabytes.

Another definition for big data is the exponential increase and availability of data in our world.

This data comes from myriad sources: smartphones and social media posts; sensors, such as traffic signals and utility meters; point-of-sale terminals; consumer wearables such as fit meters; electronic health records; and on and on.

Buried deep within this data are immense opportunities for organizations that have the talent and technology to transform their vast stores of data into actionable insight, improved decision making, and competitive advantage.

By harnessing the power of big data, healthcare systems can identify at-risk patients and intervene sooner. Police departments can predict crime and stop it before it starts. Retailers can better forecast inventory to optimize supply-chain efficiency. The possibilities are endless.

But to fulfill this promise, organizations need qualified professionals with the skills to extract meaning from the mountains of data—and these elusive data scientists are in short supply.

The “Three Vs” of big data

In 2001, industry analyst Doug Laney defined the “Three Vs” of big data:

  1. Volume

    The unprecedented explosion of data means that 90 percent of all the world’s data has been created in the past two years. The global digital universe now exceeds 2.7 zettabytes, and volume is expected to double every two years. Today, the challenge with data volume is not so much storage as it is how to identify relevant data within gigantic data sets and make good use of it.

  2. Velocity

    Data is generated at an ever-accelerating pace. Every minute, 571 new websites are created. Email users send 204,166,667 messages. Google receives more than two million search queries. The challenge for data scientists is to find ways to collect, process, and make use of huge amounts of data as it comes in.

  3. Variety

    Data comes in different forms. Structured data is that which can be organized neatly within the columns of a database. This type of data is relatively easy to enter, store, query, and analyze. Unstructured data is more difficult to sort and extract value from. Examples of unstructured data include emails, social media posts, word-processing documents; audio, video and photo files; web pages, and more.

Beyond the big three Vs

More recently, big-data practitioners and thought leaders have proposed additional Vs:

  • Veracity

    This refers to the quality of the collected data. If source data is not correct, analyses will be worthless. As the world moves toward automated decision-making, where computers make choices instead of humans, it becomes imperative that organizations be able to trust the quality of the data.

     


    IBM data scientists break big data into four dimensions: volume, variety, velocity and veracity. This infographic explains and gives examples of each.

  • Variability

    Data’s meaning is constantly changing. For example, language processing by computers is exceedingly difficult because words often have several meanings. Data scientists must account for this variability by creating sophisticated programs that understand context and meaning.

  • Visualization

    Data must be understandable to nontechnical stakeholders and decision makers. Visualization is the creation of complex graphs that tell the data scientist’s story, transforming the data into information, information into insight, insight into knowledge, and knowledge into advantage.

  • Value

    How can organizations make use of big data to improve decision-making? A McKinsey articleabout the potential impact of big data on health care in the U.S. suggested that big-data initiatives “could account for $300 billion to $450 billion in reduced health-care spending, or 12 to 17 percent of the $2.6 trillion baseline in US health-care costs.” The secrets hidden within big data can be a goldmine of opportunity and savings.

Bringing it all together

No matter how many Vs you prefer in your big data, one thing is sure: Big data is here, and it’s only getting bigger. Every organization needs to understand what big data means to them and what it can help them do. The possibilities really are endless.

Security threats are increasing exponentially in terms of frequency, targeted devices, malignancy and costs of attacks. In today’s vast interconnected world, the need to provide greater security within a customer’s product or system is becoming a standard requirement.

To stay one step ahead of the criminal element and prevent theft of software/hardware, intellectual property and data, or communications services, customers today are designing their products with an eye on providing robust, connected and secure systems.

We are in the golden age of IoT and security is increasingly moving to hardware. not just software.Microchip has unveiled a new product – CEC1702. The CEC1702 full-featured microcontroller streamlines security implementation for an increasingly connected world

Microchip CEC1702

The CEC1702 hardware cryptography-enabled microcontroller is now available from Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions. The CEC1702 addresses the increasing need for security measures, such as secure boot, driven by the continual growth of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The CEC1702 is a full-featured ARM Cortex-M4-based microcontroller with a complete hardware cryptography-enabled solution in a single package. This low-power but powerful, programmable 32-bit microcontroller offers easy-to-use encryption, authentication, private and public key capabilities and allows customer programming flexibility to minimise customer risk.

The CEC1702 also provides significant performance improvements when compared to firmware-based solutions. The device’s hardware cryptographic cipher suite reduces compute time by orders of magnitude over software solutions, and, as an example, provides 20x-50x performance improvement for PKE acceleration as well as 100x improvement for encryption/decryption. This robust hardware-based feature set results in applications that can run security measures quickly, effectively and with significantly lower cost and power consumption.

Protecting system integrity has never been more important. Whether it’s being used as a security coprocessor or a standalone microcontroller, the CEC1702 delivers a multi-dimensional defense against attacks, including:

  • Pre-boot authentication of system firmware: Providing an immutable identity and a root of trust to ensure that the firmware is untouched and hasn’t been corrupted
  • Firmware update authentication: Verifying that the firmware update has not been corrupted and is from a trusted source
  • Authentication of system critical commands: Attesting that any system-critical command is from a known source with authorisation to make the given change, preventing potentially devastating actions
  • Protection of secrets with encryption: Safeguarding code and data to prevent theft or malicious activities

Boot Code Security

“The acceleration of the Internet of Things has brought higher visibility to the security considerations of new designs,” said, Ian Harris, vice president of Microchip’s computing products group. “One of the hardest challenges to solve in a connected system is the ability to ensure that the boot code has not been comprised. The CEC1702 eliminates this issue by making it easy for designers to verify pre-boot authentication and then provide firmware updated from known, trusted resources.”

This is why you cannot believe anything a Nigerian politician tells you – most of the guys are really not working for the country.

It has emerged that the ongoing scrutiny of the Nigerian Customs Service leadership by the Senate stemmed from the seizure of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s bulletproof Range Rover Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).

According to Sahara Reporters, Customs officers in Lagos had on January 11, 2017, intercepted and impounded the SUV, which they claimed belongs to Saraki, over unpaid customs duty.

The Vehicle, with chassis number “SALGV3TF3EA190243, is said to be valued for N298 million, which means that customs duty of N74 million should have been paid on it.

It was reported that upon interception, the driver of the SUV confirmed Saraki owns it.

Here are the documents which we have aggregated in pdf.

Agricultural tech, or agtech for short, has gradually become a fascinating  hot trend across the globe. It is the engine which is transforming farming. With readily available computational systems made possibly by embedded systems and cheap processing systems which can be rented in the cloud, agtech is blossoming. The era of smart farming is one driven by agtech  which is still a growing industry.

The following agtech companies are the most innovative right now in the word.

Resson is an aerial image analytics company that uses computer vision and machine learning techniques to detect and classify in-season biotic and abiotic stressors such as plant disease, insect damage or water shortage. The Resson Agricultural Management & Analytics System (RAMAS) takes in imagery from multiple platforms, including ground-based cameras and UAVs, to perform these analyses, moving beyond NDVI. It detects and localizes anomalies allowing growers to follow individual plant growth and make in-season course corrections.

Zenvus is an intelligent solution for farms that uses proprietary electronics sensors to collect soil data like moisture, nutrients, pH etc and send them to a cloud server via GSM, satellite or Wifi. Algorithms in the server analyze the data and advice farmers on farming. As the crops grow, the system deploys special cameras to build vegetative health for drought stress, pest and diseases. The data generated is aggregated, annonymized and subscribed for agro-lending, agro-insurance, commodity trading to banks, insurers and investors.

PrecisionHawk recently partnered with A&L Canada, the agronomy lab, to integrate A&L’s ground sampling data with PrecisionHawk’s drone imagery. PrecisionHawk is an information delivery company that combines unmanned aerial systems, remote sensing technologies and advanced data analytics to improve business operations and day-to-day decision making. PrecisionHawk brings value to an emerging market by offering an end-to-end solution for aerial data gathering, processing and analysis to provide actionable information across a wide range of data-intensive civilian industries.

Mavrx, which first based its insights on aerial imagery from planes, recently added a drone scout feature to its app to create specific drone flight maps for farmers to assess potential problems areas identified with its ultra high-resolution imagery from planes. The idea is to help farmers locate fields where yield is at risk efficiently to eliminate the burden of drone-based image processing. Mavrx is on a mission to collect and organize the earth’s physical data. Their job is to connect the world of agriculture with the world of big data—driving improvements in crop productivity and land management.

IntelinAir is also using machine learning to analyze aerial imagery as a service, although it acquires this imagery through third parties. IntelinAir, Inc., is an aerial imagery analytics company focused on agriculture that delivers actionable intelligence to help farmers make data-driven decisions to improve operational efficiency, yields, and ultimately their profitability. IntelinAir combines the power of aerial imagery analytics through traditional computer vision and modern deep learning methodologies, agronomic science and user-friendly interface (mobile) technologies to deliver near real-time decision support to farmers. The company’s flagship solution AG-MRI™ is a field health monitoring and early-warning system that enables farmers to manage their operations proactively and with confidence. The company, founded in 2015, has dual headquarters in San Jose, Calif., and Champaign, Ill.

Hummingbird is a drone-enabled data and imagery analytics company leveraging machine learning and crop science. The UK-based startup offers 10 flights per growing season to detect weeds and disease at key times during the growing season to help farmers decide what and how much input to apply. It promises a 24-hour turnaround after each flight. It also offers yield prediction. Hummingbird is drone-agnostic, but mostly uses senseFly and Parrot drones and sensors. The startup layers satellite imagery and soil maps over the drone imagery as well as combine harvester reading for yield maps.

SlantRange is a drone sensor manufacturer and imagery analytics provider using computer vision. It recently announced a new multispectral sensor called the 3p. One of the main benefits of the 3p is its on-board image processing and in-field analytics capabilities, which can give farmers instant insights in the field, without the need for cellular connectivity and cloud connection.

Agribotix, which was founded in Colorado in 2013 as one of agriculture’s first drone startups, produces NDVI maps for its clients including Jamie Dumalski, a Canadian farm operator who manages 35k acres of peas, lentils, canola, wheat, barley, and soy for a farmland investment group in Saskatchewan. Agribotix is a drone-enabled software company that provides advanced imaging and analysis for precision agriculture. It offers Agribotix Hornet Drone, a rugged low-cost drone airframe purpose-built for operational use on the farm; and Agribotix Infrared and Thermal Sensors, which are thermal cameras that collect images over fields of interest.
