Application of IoT in Marketing
Soumyadeep Banerjee	 Feb 28, 2017 288 0
Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as the inter-networking of machines and information through software and devices such as sensor, actuator, and embedded systems to create an information flow chain from an end user instruction to device activation-deactivation cycles through the system. For instance, if you want to have your room cooled, a bucket of hot water for bathing by the time you reach home from your office, you could use IoT. The mobile device will act as the equipment with the requisite software to receive data about room temperature and humidity. Once the end user receives this information, he decides how much cooling he desires for his comfort and feeds the temperature and humidity level (H/L) on his mobile app. This information is delivered to the Air Conditioner through an embedded electronic sensor with a mobile device. This information is processed by the device which interacts with the AC and switches it on and sets the temperature and humidity as per instructions. To circulate the cold air, the AC sends instructions to the ceiling fan via embedded chips and transistors and keeps the fan ON for a specified duration for this purpose. If the user wants hot water, the relevant instruction fed into the mobile app is delivered to the geyser which would enable the geyser to run for a specified duration for obtaining the hot water.
IoT is a powerful tool which can be applied in Marketing to capture consumer usage patterns, buying trends, sales frequency, sales distribution network characteristics, identification of advertising spots and developing relevant marketing content. Today, marketing could be broadly divided into A) Traditional Marketing and B) Digital Marketing.
A) Traditional Marketing:
Currently, companies rely on Market Research to understand consumer's latent needs and the type of products which can be useful to satisfy these needs. The New Product Development division uses these insights to come up with new products using advanced R&D and other expertise. Once this product is created, the management decides on a pricing strategy to keep the product competitive in the market. Thirdly, it determines the target audience for the new products through extensive consumer research and secondary studies. The firm also lays out the distribution plan to reach out to maximum potential consumers quickly and in a cost-effective way. Lastly, through a smart advertising campaign, the product is positioned in an appropriate manner to convince consumers of its effectiveness as a tool to satiate his needs.
IoT can be effectively applied at each stage of the Marketing process.
Stage 1: The firm can communicate with social media sites and gather information from user database about user characteristics such common searches, the frequency of such searches, related words data, and demographic details of all such data. All the data is integrated into a common database using data extraction and analysis tools. Product engineers could then use this data to basket it under different technical features and design. Design engineers could use 3D drawings and 3D printing tools to test run each possible alternative. Each alternative could be tested on hypothetical customer right from point of purchase to application and feedback. This data can be synthesized from past data and behavior trends available from Social media, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) insights available. After all possible simulations are carried out, an evaluation software can assess the potential success of each alternative based on parameters such as innovation, relevance, utility, value for money and ease of use. The alternative with the highest Composite score shall be selected for launch.
Stage 2: Market Research of target consumers can be made latent through embedded data transfer technologies. Existing product usage characteristics can be tracked by the firm from the behavior of mobile users on lifestyle apps, online purchase prices, and camouflaged surveys. Once the firm is able to establish the maximum price consumer pays for products with an assortment of the set of its characteristics, the firm can use factor analysis to integrate all such correlations to fix an appropriate price and test run it in a small sample. Once that test is passed, the firm can go ahead with the product launch at the price determined.
Stage 3: To determine the geography and penetration level, the firm can assess the penetration of allied goods and services in the given geography through a sharing agreement and partnership with such companies. For example, if the new product is to be related to respiratory diseases, the firm could tie up with tobacco firm to gather statistics of tobacco sales and medical records of the users and their purchasing power. Once this data is available, the firm decides whether to enter this geographic area or not. Through extensive use of sensors, it could be possible to track consumption frequency from each store and obtain which stores register maximum sales. This data can be transferred to the nearby distributors for charting out micro-targeting plans.
Stage 4: Display screens with embedded computing systems can be used to display digital ad banners after receiving data about the traffic in the vicinity through data streaming from sensors. Data analytics from different geographic areas could reveal the color, design preferences which would suggest the kind of advertisement designed for use in different places. Another way of advertising is focused targeting by receiving specific consumption data about households and forwarding messages to members of that household by gathering online usage information. Viral marketing is one area which would be useful to implement via IoT.
B) Digital Marketing:
IoT is set to be a revelation in the space of Digital Marketing. One of the key applications will be using embedded chips to detect mobile signals in the vicinity. By tracking the usage details with the collaboration of telecom companies, the marketing division can precisely track the data usage patterns in each place. For example, in a shopping mall, people might be checking out movie trailers, songs, videos, shopping and lifestyle products through their smartphones. Once the marketing division receives this data, it can relay this information to the marketing division and the marketing division can extract relevant ads and campaign featuring movie stars popular in that geography and relay this message through relevant content stores like mobile, electronics and entertainment zones in the mall. This identification process can be undertaken using RFID. By connecting relevant products and images in the ad through electronic tagging, campaign sharing strategies can be undertaken by first identifying common sellers through electronic sensors, and subsequently sharing the advertisements in a bid to promote not only the core product but also the electronic good which would act as an ancillary product in the advertisement. A good implementation of Guerilla marketing has the potential to tap into the consumer's curiousness and flash an interest in this product.
To summarize, IoT has the power to address the problem of identifying and sorting areas of unmet demands and personalizing the marketing experience tailored for his demands in a cost effective manner for the company.

I first posted the trailer to this Black Metal documentary a while back on the old URL and thanks to JD, I can now post the updated Trailer. Complete with probably the best Burzum song ever as the soundtrack.
In 1991, Norwegian churches started to burn down, just after an underground circle of metal musicians had formed. The film reveals the true story behind the music, murders, and church burnings, and shows what happened to these young men, who tried to change the world using music, art, and violence. Ultimately, they lost control of what they had created.
Read up more over at the Until the Light Takes Us website!
If you're in SF and would like to see it. Make sure you catch it over at the Roxie Theater from July 31st – August 6th.


Following receipt of your detailed Homebuyers Report on the above property and your e-mail below, the Selling Agents instructed a damp specialist to inspect and report on the dampness within the property in Basingstoke. The damp specialist did indeed report significant dampness to internal and external walls, which confirmed your findings to the Seller and the Agent, and proposed rectification measures and initial quotation for the works.
However, despite the fact that it is the Seller's responsibility to rectify this problem, the Seller was not prepared to do so, which was not acceptable to us. We therefore decided not to proceed with the purchase of the property given the high financial risk to ourselves in not only the damp issue, but also the considerable structural problems also identified in your report.
We would like to thank you for your invaluable investigations in this matter, which may well have saved us a substantial sum of money because should we have proceeded without your advice, it would undoubtedly have cost us dearly.


One could easily expect such outrageousness as a doughnut burger to come from Austin, TX. While we were running around town for SXSW, we had to make a pit stop at Austin's ultimate postdrinking hotspot Gourdough's Public House. Known for its monstrous doughnuts covered in toppings like jalapeño jelly, cheddar cheese, glazed spiced apples, grilled bananas, brownie batter, and, of course, bacon, this roadside eatery has upped the ante with a huge selection of doughnut-sandwiched entrées as well!
Being a huge buffalo wing fan, the Double D's — a warm unglazed doughnut sandwiching a juicy Angus beef burger, crisp smoky bacon, a fried egg, tons of blue cheese crumbles, a huge scoop of buffalo sauce, crunchy red onions, and a nice slather of chipotle mayonnaise — piqued my interest. One bite hooked me. It's like a Texas-size party in your mouth when that warm egg yolk cracks and runs into the blue cheese and buffalo sauce, soaking into the doughnut. This is easily something I can't wait to try at home.

Seagulls stars open £670,000 3G pitch at Dorothy Stringer school
Brighton and Hove Albion FC players Connor Goldson and Rohan Ince officially opened Dorothy Stringer School's new £672,428 third generation (3G) artificial grass pitch (AGP) recently (Thursday 24 September 2015). The project was made possible thanks to a £399,479 grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund. The fund provides grants towards developing new or refurbished grassroots football facilities and is delivered by the Football Foundation.
The new floodlit 3G pitch will be used extensively by Dorothy Stringer School and its neighbouring primary and secondary schools. The site will also be regularly used by Albion in the Community, the charitable arm of Brighton & Hove Albion FC, as well as local grassroots club Withdean Youth FC.
The new facility comprises Under-13 and Under-14 pitches as well as 9v9, 7v7 and 5v5 football pitches. The grant has also gone towards improved spectator areas, floodlighting and fencing.
The club worked in partnership with the Sussex FA to secure a £399,479 grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund.
The Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund is funded by the Premier League, The FA, and the Government, via Sport England. It is delivered by the Football Foundation, the country's largest sports charity. Since it was launched in 2000, the Foundation has awarded around 13,000 grants worth more than £530m towards improving grassroots sport, which it has used to attract additional partnership funding of over £740m – over £1.3bn of investment into the grassroots game.
Since 2000 the Football Foundation Funding Partners' investment has provided 225 grants worth £10m towards grassroots sports projects worth over £82m across the whole of Sussex.
Many of the new state-of-the-art facilities will serve to strengthen the connection between professional football clubs and their local communities, particularly in the most deprived areas of the country, through the professional clubs' community trusts' outreach work.
Rohan Ince, midfielder for Brighton & Hove Albion FC, said: "It was great to attend the opening of this fantastic 3G AGP at Dorothy Stringer School. The facilities here are top-class, and I was privileged to have played on the pitch with pupils at the school and Albion in the Community.
"I am pleased to see this development so close to my team Brighton & Hove Albion FC. Not only will this 3G pitch serve as a place to train and play matches for the school and local community, but it will create some good-quality home grown talent. Thanks must go to the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund for their generous grant that has made this facility possible."
Richard Bradford, Head Teacher at Dorothy Stringer, said: "We were delighted to receive this grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund, this new facility will improve grassroots sport within Brighton & Hove.
"The pitch will provide a much needed sport and recreational outdoor space for our school, the neighbouring schools and local clubs in the community. The grant has allowed us to provide affordable use to local community youth and adult clubs who often cannot afford the rates of privately managed facilities. The provision will further endorse our commitment to healthy schools and encourage more sporting activity, particularly in young people."
Paul Thorogood, Chief Executive of the Football Foundation, said: "I am delighted that a grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund has enabled Dorothy Stringer School to build this 3G artificial grass pitch. This development will provide a real boost to sport in the local area.
"Since 2000, the Football Foundation has supported grassroots projects worth more than £1.3bn, investing into areas where the need is greatest and where it will have the biggest impact in terms of getting more people playing football and a wide range of other sports.
"With this funding, provided by the Premier League, The FA and the Government, through Sport England, we are helping to improve community sports facilities across the country and thereby the playing experience of those who take part. This latest project in Brighton is the latest addition to the inventory of modern community sports sites we are developing that cater for the needs of local people who want to play sport purely for the love if it and to stay healthy."

How Britain Hoped To Avoid War With Germany In The 1930s
Instituted in the hope of avoiding war, appeasement was the name given to Britain's policy in the 1930s of allowing Hitler to expand German territory unchecked. Most closely associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it is now widely discredited as a policy of weakness. Yet at the time, it was a popular and seemingly pragmatic policy.

Timeline of 20th and 21st Century Wars
Military conflict took place during every year of the 20th Century. There were only short periods of time that the world was free of war. The total number of deaths caused by war during the 20th Century has been estimated at 187 million and is probably higher.

NORTHBROOK, Ill., May 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hilco Real Estate LLC announces June 30, 2015 as the Call for Offers deadline for the award-winning Sportsman's Cove Lodge located near Ketchikan, Alaska. Ideally located on Prince of Wales Island with close proximity to Ketchikan and the lower 48 states, the Lodge has been acclaimed as being "Among the Top Ten Lodges in North America" by the outdoor writers of Traveling Angler magazine and Salmon and Steelhead Journal. Sportsman's Cove Lodge has also been featured on many national TV outdoor shows including Larry Csonka's "North to Alaska," "North American Fisherman TV" and ESPN 2.
Sportsman's Cove Lodge is a turnkey resort specializing in deep sea sport fishing on the protected waters of the famed Inside Passage. Located within a perfectly sheltered cove on the eastern shores of Prince of Wales Island, the Lodge is just a short 15-minute floatplane ride west from Ketchikan, Alaska. The property offers the perfect combination of access to Ketchikan, coupled with a remote location providing guests with serene fishing and a truly authentic wilderness experience. Ketchikan, Alaska's "First City," is the closest city to the Lower 48 market, only 90 minutes from Seattle by non-stop jet, with four daily flights.
Sportsman's Cove Lodge sits on a rare, 4.7-acre tract of land that was previously the site of a commercial fish cannery until the early 1930s when it was carved out from the surrounding 17 million acre Tongass National Forest by President Roosevelt. The property offers 156 feet of water frontage and is located adjacent to highly productive fishing grounds.
Today, Sportsman's Cove Lodge can accommodate 30-plus guests, based on double occupancy, in 16 guestrooms, each with private bath. The guestrooms are located in three different buildings within the lodge property and provide potential for expansion. Amenities include an eight-person hot tub and outdoor seating area, a fully stocked Otter Shoppe gift shop with $30,000 to $40,000 worth of inventory on hand, guest and staff laundry facilities, excellent AT &T and data coverage, and Wi-Fi satellite internet access available throughout the compound. The Lodge also features 21 staff rooms to accommodate a crew of more than 32 onsite personnel. Sustainability features include an approved Class-B public water system, an approved wastewater treatment plant, four generators, on-site tidal grid, and an ample and reliable water supply.
"Since the downturn in 2009, business has been coming back strong! The 2015 fishing season at Sportsman's Cove is completely sold out, and the 2016 season is already over 40 percent booked," says owner Larry McQuarrie, better known as Captain Mac. "We have loved every minute of every day at Sportsman's Cove Lodge, but after 25 years in business, it is time to pass the fishing rod to someone else, let someone else steer the ship." Additionally, Captain Mac and the management team are available to remain on board for a 12-month transition period following the sale should new ownership so desire.
The offering of Sportsman's Cove Lodge features a fleet of five fully outfitted, custom-built, 37-foot charter vessels (all in Bristol condition according to 2015 surveys) accommodating up to six guests in each fishing party. The lodge also owns a 56-foot, ex-military LCM-6 landing craft that serves as a supply vessel and can carry a 20-foot container of goods or 4,000 gallons of fuel in a spill-proof ISO tank. Additional support vessels include a 23-foot Munson fast response boat, an 18-foot Lund with new outboard, a 15-foot Skeeter and three 14-foot Lund skiffs with two new outboards. The property's 60-by-90-foot dock, with float plane extension, accommodates the fishing fleet, landing craft, and up to four DeHavilland Beavers at once, and features two dock buildings with vacuum fish packaging equipment, walk-in freezer, commercial fish smokers, 30 guest lockers for rain gear, fueling stations, chest freezers for bait and a fish weigh-in/photo station.
While the sale includes all transferable wildlife, fishing, trail, business permits and a dock Tidelands lease, the Lodge's five Charter Halibut Permits (federally controlled and issued) are being sold or leased separately. Market prices for Charter Halibut Permits range from $30,000 - $40,000 each, or the permits can be leased for $3,000 per permit annually. One permit is required for each of the five charter boats.
Also being offered for sale separately are the Saltery Cottage, a popular, three-bedroom/three bath fully furnished guest house adjacent to the Lodge, and the Ketchikan Boat Maintenance/Storage Facility – within the Gateway Yacht Condominiums, located in Ketchikan. The maintenance facility features five 20-by-50-foot adjoining condo units totaling 6,000 square feet with 16-by-18-foot overhead doors, a mezzanine level with five networked computer workstations, a lunch/meeting room, satellite and/or high speed cable internet feed and cable TV. This package also includes a host of support vehicles and equipment used for transporting and maintaining the charter fleet, including a GMC7500 5-ton tractor truck, a Hyatt 48-foot gooseneck trailer and a Hyster forklift among others.
"With consumer sentiment trending away from the standard, vanilla lodging experience, we have seen an uptick in the demand for experience-centric hospitality assets. This is readily seen on the global stage with an explosion in the popularity of unique, adventure-based vacations, ranging from sea-kayaking to mountain climbing to deep sea fishing. Discerning travelers want an alternative to the standard 'bed-in-a-box' experience," said Jeffrey Azuse, Senior Vice President of Hilco Real Estate.
Azuse further noted, "On par with this trend, Sportsman's Cove Lodge provides guests with a spectacular fishing and authentic wilderness experience, as evidenced by the fact that over 85 percent of annual customers are returning guests."
Site visits for interested buyers will be conducted prior to the initial offer deadline in mid-June. The deadline for submitting initial offers to Hilco is June 30, by 5:00 pm Central Time. Offers should be submitted via email to smadura@hilcoglobal.com prior to the expiration of the deadline.
A detailed Virtual Data Room is available for the property, containing property specific information, an explanation of the sale process and the Terms of Sale. To obtain access to the Virtual Data Room, please contact the Project Manager at 847-504-2478.

Warsaw is the tortured capital of Poland, which saw over 80% of its buildings destroyed in 1945. Since then it has been patiently and labourously rebuilt.
The following Cold War years under the iron grip of its soviet neighbour did certainly not add to its glamour. However, today as the economic centre of a Poland that is more european than ever, Warsaw has experienced a rebirth.
Of course, the city is not quiet as trendy and fashionable as Berlin but certain streets can be likened to the East Berlin of the 1990s and certainly deserves a visit. In particular, the Praga neighbourhood, which is set to become the trendy, arty and bohemian spot of an authentic and slightly wild Warsaw, deserves to be rediscovered.
By Ludovic Bischoff
Warsaw : Capital of Poland
Population : 1.7 million
Currency : Zloty
City icon : an armed mermaid whose statue stands in the old town.
Good to know : if you are invited to a "milk bar" dont be surprised, they are in fact rather trendy and popular upmarket restaurants which survived the communist era. To note: dont expect to actually drink milk but rather eat hearty meals made for stakhanovist workers!
To prepare your trip : www.pologne.travel/fr
Praga : the new east side district !
For the "happening" district of Warsaw – look no further than Praga. This town, independent for a long time, is accesible by crossing the Visule river and was preserved from the german bombs at the end of World War II. The streets of Praga are lined with many pre-war buildings which offer a snapshot of the architectual beauty that reigned in pre-war Warsaw. It is in fact in one of Praga's steets, Mata, that Roman Polanski shot part of his film 'The Pianist' to take advantage of the historical setting and streets of the 40s. However, things are changing and the "hipsters" of warsaw are envading the neighbourhood. Especially since a new subway line, which was inaugurated in spring of 2015, connects the area to the city centre in minutes! No doubt, Praga could soon be transformed under the influence of this high income population who seek the peace and quiet not found in the city centre. We suggest starting off your discovery with the orchestra that sits on a small square just off Florianska street. These street bands have always been popular in Praga and today you just need to send a text to the number enscribed on a plaque to hear a traditional song played out on the loud speakers. Continue your journey through the charming and old-fashioned Rozyckiego Bazaar to find everything and anything and lose yourself in the small streets where street art and decrepit buildings form a backdrop like no other. Could you possibly need any other proof that Praga is the up and coming arty neighbhoood of Warsaw? Then know that this is also the place where french artist Julien de Casabianca creates his masterpieces when he passes through! The artist takes photos of ancient forgotten portaits that he finds in the museums of capital citys. He then prints them and puts them up in the streets. These historical characters in the portaits illuminate the streets of Praga like nowhere else in Warsaw!
http://www.outings-project.org/#!warsaw—poland/c22zw
Soho Factory : hipsters hidout
This ancient munitions factory complex has become the creative heart of Warsaw with design studios, shops, restaurants, advertising agencies and web agencys all setting up there. A major project is underway to add luxury lofts and apartments. In short, it is an enclave in an area of Praga, still relatively working class and not serviced by the subway, which was built with the mythic soho area of New York as a reference. Walking around, it feels more like you're in London, New York or Sydney than Warsaw. 'Rage Age' a high-end mens fashion brand recently opened a flagship store and 'Soho Store' sells collections from young budding polish designers. The areas food stalls are definitely the areas to be seen. Soho Factory is without a doubt the epicentre of an area that is constantly improving and which houses the towns two atypical museums (see below)…
http://www.sohofactory.pl/
Neon Museum : a national treasure!
Whilst shops remained empty and sales nonexistant during Poland's dark Cold War era, the neon signs that remained illuminated brought a small amount of heat to Warsaws inhabitants and gave them confort as if they were just in any normal town…an illusion that many Varsavians still remember today. Indeed the neon sign's polish designers certainly brought a creative flair typical of the 40s and 50s. The signs were unfortunatly taken down and forgotton, until recently, when a passionate couple started collecting them and saved them from inevitable destruction. 3 years ago, the couple chose the heart of Soho Factory, in one of the last remaining red brick buildings , as the place to showcase their collection of neon signs, a museum unique in the world! One walks around admiring the stunning iluminations of another time. Signs whose captivating and poetic nature is so powerful we would love to see them on our own streets.
www.neonmuzeum.org
The "Charm of PRL" Museum : to relive "the good old" communist days
Across the street from Soho Factory, a symbol of the modernity and creativity of the Poland of today, lies a recently opened small and unassuming museum which exhibits everyday objects of the communist era. The "Charm of the PRL" Museum was created by the founder of Warsaw Adventre, a company which offers a unique and unusual experience of Warsaw. Like with the Neon Museum it was a bit by accident that the founders started collecting these everyday objects. Objects that most liberated poles cast aside without second thought. In the museum, one can sit in a 60s style "Formica" living room, admire a "Frania" washing machine which was also used to make butter and wine! One can also wander around an empty shop, like it would have been at the time. Or even caress an authentic toilet roll which was a very rare and prized commodity at the time! In short, this small fun-natured museum is the ideal place to better understand the state of organised shortage which prevailed in post-war Poland up until the 90s.
http://adventurewarsaw.pl/en/
Elsewhere in Warsaw…
Although Praga is naturally very attractive to western visitors in search of traces of a preserved past, one can not simply ignore a visit to Warsaw's city centre. If only to admire the Palace of Culture and Science, a kind of huge neo-gothic wedding cake which has become the icon of the city. This "Palace" conceived by Stalin as a "gift to the polish people" has long been dispised by the inhabitants of Warsaw. Built between 1952 and 1955, it cost a fortune in a country that was barely recovering from the second world war. Years after its completion, the "Gotham city" style building, sat pristine and immaculate among the ruins of a city that had not yet been rebuilt! After the fall of the Berlin wall, Varsovians even planned to destroy it…Fortunatly however, they decided against it and we can now visit what remains of an architectual feat filled with memories of a dark past. From the top of the tower, the views are simply breathtaking. For a final shopping trip, be sure to visit Mysia 3 which includes several floors of shops many of which showcase local designers. In particular, special attention must be paid for Ewelina Kustra and her shop "She's a riot" which offers a great selection of both Polish and French goods.

Q: Set graphene field when returning from query resolver We are currently upgrading from an old version of graphene (0.99) to a new one (2.15).  In the old version, we were able to set the value of a field in the query resolver. For example:
class DogType(DjangoObjectType):
    selected = graphene.Boolean()

    class Meta:
        model = Dog

class DogsQuery(graphene.ObjectType):
     dogs = graphene.List(DogType)

     resolve_dogs(self, info):
          top_dogs = Dogs.objects.all()[:10]

          return [DogType(d, selected=(i == 0)) for i, d in enumerate(top_dogs)]

This resolver hands back a list of DogTypes, and the first dog in the list has "selected=True" while the others have "selected=False".  It resolves successfully.
In newer versions of graphene, this throws an error: "'DogType' object has no attribute 'pk'". I presume this is because newer versions of graphene don't want us to return Types. So I'm just wondering if it is possible to set the graphene field "selected" in the query resolver itself in newer versions of graphene?

Test your CoQ10 yourself
What is Coenzyme Q10?
CoQ10 is a vitamin-like substance that is also a coenzyme. CoQ10 is ubiquitous in the cells all throughout the body. CoQ10 is a tiny, but nonetheless essential component in the ATP production in the mitochondria. CoQ10 helps control the cells' fat-, carbohydrate- and protein metabolism, which is subsequently turned into energy. This newly produced energy is enveloped in the molecule ATP (adenosine-triphosphate), which shortly after is broken down to transfer the chemical energy to mechanical energy for the muscles to move.
CoQ10 from the diet and supplements is absorbed from the small intestines into the lymphatic system bound to lipoproteins called chylomicrons, which are formed in the intestinal cells after ingesting fats from a meal. From the lymphatic system CoQ10 is transferred to the bloodstream.
No Effect from Tablets or Hardgel Capsules
Clinical research shows that CoQ10 in a powder form taken without any oils or fats is pracically unabsorbable. This means that CoQ10 in a tablet form or CoQ10 products with CoQ10 powder in hard gels is almost totally unusable by our body. Here, it is important to emphasize that the same goes for CoQ10 in an oil matrix in softgels unless the CoQ10 raw material has been through a thermal process that prevents unabsorbable crystals in the CoQ10 product. There are numerous CoQ10 products that look identical to Pharma Nord's brown softgels; however, this does not mean that the product can be absorbed. The only way to be sure that it is a high quality product with a satisfactory absorption level is to choose a CoQ10 product that has actual clinical research evidence documenting that the CoQ10 product increases the CoQ10 blood levels.
See the video to understand CoQ10 quality differences
Requires Special Pre-treatment
In human clinical trials where researchers have measured the CoQ10 blood content pre- and post trial, the researchers have been able to document the absorption effect from the ingested CoQ10 products. The best results have been achieved using a unique formulation of oils with softgels containing pre-heated ubiquinone to ensure a complete dissolution of the CoQ10 crystals at body temperature, not the higher melting point of the CoQ10 crystals when untreated (118.4 degrees F).
Ubiquinol or Ubiquinone?
Coenzyme Q10 supplements come in two forms: ubiquinone and ubiquinol. There are many myths and misconceptions about which form of CoQ10 supplement is better. In actual fact, there is a difference in the way in which the two forms of Coenzyme Q10 are absorbed.
In this video, it can be seen that the content of the ubiquinol supplement is mostly converted to the ubiquinone form of CoQ10 when it reaches the stomach. The CoQ10 then transits from the stomach to the small intestines where is absorbed in the ubiquinone form. Once the ubiquinone has passed from the intestinal absorption cells into the lymph, it converts back to the ubiquinol form. It passes from the lymph to the blood in the form of ubiquinol. There are two conversions in the body from the time the ubiquinol is swallowed until it enters the blood circulation.
Ubiquinone, on the other hand, passes from the stomach to the small intestines and is absorbed as ubiquinone. In the lymph, the ubiquinone is converted to the ubiquinol form, and it enters the blood circulation in the ubiquinol form. There is only one conversion in the body from the time the ubiquinone is swallowed until it enters the blood circulation.
The body will get CoQ10 in the antioxidant form in the lymph and the blood regardless of whether the CoQ10 supplement is in the ubiquinone or ubiquinol form. This basic fact begs the question: why buy a ubiquinol supplement when a ubiquinone supplement is less expensive, more stable, and better documented?
Why pay more for less?
CoQ10 switches easily between two different forms
The image shows a ubiquinone molecule that receives two hydrogen atoms (white) that each bind to its own oxygen atom (red) on the quinone head of the CoQ10 molecule. When both hydrogen atoms are attached to the quinone head, the ubiquinone molecule is altered (reduced) to ubiquinol, which is chemically an alcohol. It is also seen that the oxygen atom from having a double bond to the carbon atom (gray) now has a single bond.
Subsequently, ubiquinol delivers the two hydrogen atoms again, after which it switches back (oxidized) to ubiquinone.
This process from one form of CoQ10 to the other takes place in the gut and lymph, as well as in the inner membrane of the cell's mitochondria where the CoQ10 shifts back and forth between the various forms several hundred times each second in connection with the energy production of the mitochondria.
Reduced CoQ10 - Ubiquinol
360 view of the Ubiquinol molecule
CoQ10 appears in two slightly different forms and also has two important but completely different functions in the body. One form is its reduced form. Reduced CoQ10 is called ubiquinol. In the blood and lymphatic ducts, most of the body's CoQ10 is in the form of ubiquinol, where it acts as an antioxidant. It protects against oxidative damage of the LDL cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein), the cholesterol form everyone is worried about.
Oxidized CoQ10 - Ubiquinone
360 view of the Ubiquinone molecule
The other form of CoQ10 is its oxidized form called ubiquinone. When CoQ10 was first discovered by Dr. Frederick Crane in 1957, it was actually the ubiquinone form he identified. All research from that point forward for the rest of the century centered only on ubiquinone. Can you spot the difference? Rotate the molecules and take a look at the quinone head. Compared to ubiquinol the ubiquinone form has two double bonds between oxygen and carbon and is missing two hydrogen atoms. Ubiquinone is a more stable form.
Inside the cell's mitochondria ubiquinone takes part in the cell's energy production. During this energy production CoQ10 is constantly switching from one form to the other several hundred times each second as each are a byproduct of the other, depending on whether it receives electrons (ubiquinone) or donates them (ubiquinol). You could compare this to performing in a play, where you play two different parts requiring costume changes for each character.
Ubiquinone is More Stable
In 2006, part of the CoQ10 industry started to market CoQ10 in the form of ubiquinol. The argument was that some people have difficulty converting ubiquinone to ubiquinol and therefore the idea was that you should take the missing form, which they at that point dubbed "active Q10." It later turned out that they were wrong about their concept. Scientists pointed out that the body can convert back and forth without any issues. Studies have shown that daily supplementation with a good ubiquinone preparation will significantly increase the levels of ubiquinol in blood plasma and in lipoproteins in the blood.
It is also misleading to indicate that the ubiquinol form is more active than ubiquinone. Both are active even though they have different physiological functions.
Do Your Own Research at Home
Since ubiquinol is by nature unstable, it can be a a good idea to examine whether your ubiquinol softgel contains ubiquinol or whether the content has been oxidized to become ubiquinone. Ubiquinone is a yellow substance, whereas the ubiquinol antioxidant form is a white substance prior to oxidation. Poke a hole in your ubiquinol softgel and squeeze out the contents on a napkin or plate. If it is yellow, it has been oxidized inside the softgel and thereby converted to ubiquinone. If it is white it is true to the declared ubiquinol contents as declared by the manufacturer.

Naruto RP Saga » Hi no Kuni » Hi no Kuni » ROOT Camp, the forest.
The Forest is located northwest of the original meeting point, and consists of traditionally dense Fire Country forests. Trees several meters in diameter and several dozen meters tall dominate this battlefield, with wide branches supporting the thick canopy that lets precious little light reach the forest floor. Lush foliage casts a blanket of green across the forest that almost feels disorienting in size. The sheer size coupled with the dense plantlife allows for ample amounts of stealth for the more tactically inclined, leaving the more forward-minded combatants at a disadvantage.
Panting Sakamoto would have seemed to get ahead of the herd so to speak, there wasn't a clearing in the forest in sight as Sakamoto would pick a place in the forest that was familiar, a nice scattering of several large trees combined with many bushes and palms underneath them. Perfect foliage for a small creature like himself or a rabbit. Sites and burrows scattered the landscape where wildlife was known by him to life, small foxholes, as well as burrows in trees and in the earth, reflected the beautiful panoramic ecosystem that existed within Konohagakure no sato. Sakamoto would not have much time, focusing he would rapidly pick a location, plating a single pawprint seal on the ground in the centre of an area between two trees and kicking some leaves over it, he would activate one of his jutsu, causing just shy of a dozen replications of himself to appear around him as he activated his 'Duplicat' technique. Each of them fanning out in a different direction, together with the use of the art of the pawprint seal, they would be able to blanket the area in blank fuuinjutsu seals to await the dastardly cat's techniques at a harrowing pace. The empty seals, being empty, would have no chakra for sensory type ninja to sense, but would certainly serve as a means to attack enemies should they breach the wall or attempt to leap past them.
With each darting up a tree from branch to branch, planting 2 seals on the lowest and most accessible branches three meters or so from the trunk before moving to the next tree and beginning to spiral outwards from the seal on the ground covering the lower levels of as many trees as possible, only missing those so small as they would not be able to support the standing weight of a human.
It took no more than 5 seconds to jump to a tree, plant two seals before jumping to the next for each of the many variants of Sakamoto, though Sakamoto was beginning to tire at the hastiness of it all. The longer an opponent took to arrive however, the longer he had to increase the width of his net in the forest that surrounded them. Should he be given a minute, he would have a section almost on fifty meters in radii to call his own. In fifteen minutes that would have expanded to about three hundred meters in radii. In an hour, he would have all but completely dominated a massive portion of the forest with his pawprint seals of about 500m, tagging the 2 lowest core branches of every tree he could get his nasty paws on. All that was left was to lure enemies to his location. So, one of his duplicats taking several shuriken, Sakamoto would have his nifty clone hang them from trees via vines where they could be in the direct line of sunlight. The light spin of the shuriken casued by the wind would reflect the light out as they span in the breeze, casting rays of light out into the otherwise dark forests at odd angles. There would be no way a ninja would not recognize the sight of the sun hitting steel, and it would surely arouse the suspicion that an opponent lay in waiting in this direction.
Sure, it was a trap, of that there was no doubt, Sakamoto wasn't stupid. He knew that the ninja of konoha was not either, however, these were the ninja of Konohagakure no Sato, the land of fire and passion. Each of them were the kind of ninja that relished a challenge, who rose to meet adversity and were willing to overcome any threat to themselves or those they cared about. Generally speaking, Sakamoto would have liked to have some living bait to ensure his victory and bringing an opponent into the centre of his web... For a moment he wished one of his former companions were here, Di or even the Senju woman he had met. Each of them would have likely approved of this plan, but as the cat found himself thinking about those ninja in a friendly light, he caught himself, shaking his head at the sentimental distraction with almost a sense of revolt. So, his duplicats would spread out, each of them taking the high ground across the branches of trees around the median of his area from the centre depending on how much time the petite leonid had to perform his set-up. Taking positions with Sakamoto in the centre hiding underneath a large fern bush, much like he had at the meeting while keeping his eyes and ears peeled for a ninja who would approach. Each of the duplicats having tied the scarf across their faces to hide their masks.
What the hell is wrong with me?. Sakamoto thought in an instant, discarding the thoughts of old allies not present here.
Kisei was moving from tree to tree slowly, watching out for other potential enemies as he jumped from branch to branch. Silent and invisible thanks to his puppet's special composition. 'Now if only I had a RADAR or SONAR system installed .' he thought. Though he'd have to settle for what he had at this moment and focus on what he could do. The opponents that he had to deal with he had no idea what their skills were, so incapacitating them will be difficult. It may even be impossible. Not knowing his opponent's strength.. quite a terrifying thing to deal with. Not to say that aKisei was ill-prepared, but history has a tendency to repeat itself. Kisei wanted to do better than repeating the same mistakes. Hopefully he'll be able to improve, even if just a little bit, in this practice regiment. The deeper reasons for his need to improve lingered in the back of his mind, but he knew them well by now.
Kisei hummed. Up ahead he saw a small cat wearing a pink scarf run hopping through the trees, His first instinct was attack it but with his better judgement simply silently jumped onto a higher branch while it was still a few trees away, avoiding the creature altogether. Still cloaked and silent, the creature remained oblivious to Kisei's presence, jumping a few more branches out, maybe, Kisei didn't pay much attention. Instead focused on what was left in their wake. With the daylight illuminating, what would otherwise be the shadowy forest, the black spots they left behind. 'It seemed reminiscent of what you'd expect of sealing users, but really, a cat knowing sealing jutsu? A ninja cat maybe, but it could also be ink or something similar. I better watch out for other cats just in case.' Kisei thought cautiously, as he jumped in the opposite direction of the cat that passed by him seconds earlier he noticed strange light flashing him ahead. Hopping a few tree branches forward, dodging out of way of the trail of pawprints left behind by the mysterious cat, he discovered that they were metal shuriken hung on vines. An uneasy feeling settled in his gut at the realization of what he had just stumbled upon. "A trap?" The Ushinatta nervously whispered. The sound silenced by the puppet carapice. His hand gripped on fabric of his hood, wanting to pull it over his head but realizing that it would cut out some of his side vision. Instead his hand reached for the pinwheel hanging by cloth straps on his back, the bladed fan pointed down, while the cold feel of steel verifying that it was still tightly held in place there. His other hand holding a firm grip on the handle of his signature umbrella. He would have to tread carefully from this point out.
Going around the hung shuriken, making sure his puppet didn't scratch against the metal ninja tool, he walked precisely into what he assumed was a trap.
Soon he'd come across an open clearing surrounded by trees. The kicker, the entire place was covered in pawprints. At this point all the branches were too heavily covered in pawprints to avoid, so instead he walked perpendicular to the trunk of the tree, looking like a branch right above the branch, if you could see him. In the center of the open space were a couple of thick fern bushes, obviously suspicious… To test his hypothesis Kisei would direct two of the horns on the top of his puppet's head to impale the pawprinted branch right below his right side. The sound of wood being snapped by steel in such silence being a good way to expose the less experienced ninja. snap! The hulking branch lacking any support, fell to the group with a thud. Dozen of leafs scratching around. Kisei pushed off the trunk he stood on, his puppet cloaking both of them, and connected to another tree. Perhaps twenty meters off the ground, fifteen or so meters away from the center of the clearing. Sticking the landing perfectly, he'd wait to see if there were any changes around him.

Why the sections?
Strategy and processes are very important for any organization, regardless of the number of people it employs. Moreover, the better the organization is organized, the faster it develops. It is beneficial for an organization to face different challenges because it helps it adapt to different situations, and the same can be said for a GWU. During this period of the pandemic, the resilience of the GWU certainly showed.
As Malta's economy started to grow and industries started to grow, the Union also started to develop. This is where the need arose to form different sections for the benefit of the members. Each section worked on its own processes as required by the industries. The processes were and are of great benefit to the Union as they help address each situation in accordance with the values to which the Union adheres. Each section is built in reflection and works within the same parameters of the GWU. By having the same values, everyone knows that the GWU is competent, consistent and credible.
As a union, we encourage members and workers to seek help if they experience any form of discrimination or other abuse. We also require employers to abide by the agreements they have made and to always treat their workers equally and fairly. We also do this when we investigate a situation that is brought to our attention.
Rita Dimech is the Secretary of the Chemical and Energy Section. Rita has been with the Union for 43 years. Both Maltese and foreign managed companies are represented in this section. Originally this section was formed to represent the interests of workers in the petrol, rubber and plastics industries. But this section continued to grow and began to cater for the manufacturing industry including the pharmaceutical industry. If you are a member or worker in the chemical and energy related industries and need assistance, Rita is the person to contact.
Another section is that of Technology, Electronics and Communications, of which David Darmanin is the secretary. Since entering the workforce, David has been involved with GWU as Shop Steward. This section represents workers in the technology, printing, communications and automotive industries. Join us if you want a union that represents you.
The Maritime and Aviation Section is the section that Sandro Vella represents. He has been active in the union since 2014. This is one of the first sections opened by the Union. This section represents the aviation and maritime sector. This includes cargo transportation. It also represents aircraft maintenance workers and represents general workers within AirMalta and Malta Air. The section represents other workers who are dependent on the activities of the port and the aviation industry. It also represents public service drivers and taxi drivers.
Kenny Muscat is the Secretary of the Hospitality and Food Section. He was a GWU representative on behalf of his fellow workers for several years before joining the GWU seven years ago. This section is recognized and represents workers in local hotels and restaurants and in the manufacture of food and drink, including alcoholic beverages. It also represents import, distribution and export companies for their products. In addition, this section also protects workers in pet food manufacturing, casinos, entertainment establishments, and contractors in the cleaning and hospitality industries.
The Government and Public Entities Section is led by Kendrick Bondin, who has worked with the union since 2013. This section protects workers and professionals in various sectors, including Public Service and sector, Private Health and elder care, as well as government and regulatory agencies. Thanks to negotiations with trade unions, new wages and careers have been introduced and working conditions in the sector are enshrined in the Maltese Constitution. This section represents members, negotiates regulations for better conditions for workers and campaigns for justice and equality in the workplace and even abroad.
Riccarda Darmanina has been the Secretary of the Professionals, Finance and Services Section since 2019. She has many years of experience in this field, having worked for BOV for more than 30 years before joining the Union. Riccarda is also a member of Eurocardres Executive Committee, which is the voice of the Trade Unions of managers and professionals. This section represents a range of workers in different sectors and categories of work, including employees in professional and managerial positions, in the financial sector including banking, Financial Institutions and Insurance Companies, in the security, office and logistics sectors and in the media sector. Join today if you want to work in this sector and have a union behind you.
As part of updating its structures, in 2017, the GWU established a new International Office in 2017 and Jason Deguara is its first Secretary. Jason has over 28 years' experience in the trade union field. This section represents the GWU at the institution of European Economic and Social Committee, of which Jason has been appointed a member. Part of the work of the section is also to send various Shop Stewards abroad to better train and understand the European context in which we live today. This training is provided by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).
The GWU is also a partner in European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and in International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), which are official confederations of European and International Unions. The union participates in meetings to get the message across at all levels.
Another section is that of the Pensioners, where Tony Zarb is the Acting Secretary. He has a long and very clear experience in the union, having been General Secretary for 16 years. The GWU had opened this section because they felt that pensioners should not be left in the lurch after paying their dues until retirement age. The aim of this section is to improve the standard of living of Maltese pensioners. Their contribution is their long experience in trade union work. This experience helps to design new proposals that will improve working conditions for the workers of today and tomorrow.
The final section is that of GWU Youths led by Larinov Muscat. He has been active in the Union since 2013. Anyone between the ages of 16 and 35 can join and become a member of GWU Youth, anyone who joins at this age is automatically considered a member of this union. The ongoing task of this section is to work among the younger generation to further spread knowledge about the union. This section is part of the National Youth Council (KNZ), as well as in the international forum with the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).
A Point of Contact is another area within the Union. This is a service provided between the General Confederation of Italian Trade Unions (CGIL) and the GWU to provide service, support and representation to the demands and needs of Italian men and women, young people and pensioners currently living in Malta. This section was inaugurated in 2019 and Riccardo Travaglini is the person in charge. Riccardo understands very well the difficulties of foreigners coming to live and work in Malta, having had the same experience. In addition, he has experience in taxation which strengthens his role.

Yeti — второй альбом группы краут-рока Amon Düül II, изначально выпущенный в 1970 году как двойной LP.

Характеристика
Второй альбом Amon Düül II — шедевр, один из альбомов, определивших лицо краут-рока. В изначальном виниловом варианте это двойной альбом, первый диск которого состоит из структурированных песен, а второй диск — из импровизаций. Это высшая точка плавного импровизационного изящества группы. Два диска не сильно отличаются друг от друга, и импровизационный диск, возможно, даже лучше, чем диск с заранее сочиненными композициями. Первый диск открывается 12-минутной сюитой, которая легко переключается между лирическими, созерцательными пассажами и более интенсивным, заряженным звуком. Остальные песни колеблются от грозного, пугающего «Archangels Thunderbird» (с обреченным вокалом Ренате) до нежной, почти фолковой акустической песни «Cerberus». Импровизационный диск содержит три трека, заканчиваясь 9-минутным ошеломляющим «Sandoz in the Rain», который многие считают основополагающим произведением жанра спейс-рок. Деликатное, почти эмбиентное течение звука передается через нежные гитарные переборы и плавно льющийся звук флейты, став, вероятно, вершиной всей карьеры Amon Düül II.

Этот альбом наряду с Tanz der Lemminge стал кульминацией карьеры Amon Duul II. Он сохранил все самое ценное с первого альбома, добавив невероятное чувство импровизации и абсолютно психоделическую атмосферу. Практически все композиции являются космически-краутовой классикой, но вершиной все-таки стали три эпических импровизации. Заглавный трек — это головокружительный, агрессивный, чудной, наркотический акт. Гитары составляют существенную часть звука, инструментальная часть великолепна, несмотря на то, что техническое мастерство уступает коллегам из Agitation Free или Embryo. После десятиминутной отчаянной гитарной импровизации наступают и приятные плавно текущие клавишные партии. «Yeti talks to Yogi» вновь опирается на подвижную, триповую, фуззированную гитару и трансовые интерлюдии. Кривая краут-психоделия Yeti оказала заметное влияние на работы таких групп, как Agitation Free, Guru Guru, Gila (два первых альбома), Gaa….

Обложка
Разработанная Рогнером обложка альбома представляет собой коллаж с изображением смерти с косой, сделанным с фотографии Вольфганга Кричке. Кричке, работавший звукорежиссёром группы, умер от передозировки наркотиков. Рогнер решил, что после его смерти «именно таким образом будет лучше всего сохранить память об этом волшебном человеке».

Признание
Британский журнал авангардной музыки The Wire охарактеризовал Yeti как «один из краеугольных камней как карьеры Amon Düül II, так и всего движения краут-рок в целом»

Альбом занимает 8 место в рейтинге альбомов краут-рока портала Progarchives (по состоянию на апрель 2013 года). Также альбом занимает 41 место в списке «50 величайших прог-рок-альбомов всех времён» журнала Rolling Stone.

Ghost of Tsushima Is a Fitting Swan Song for the PlayStation 4

Today, PlayStation offered a sustained look at the gorgeous open-world of the upcoming exclusive Ghost of Tsushima.
With a focus on exploration and combat, the extended look ran through the main gameplay beats.
As the PlayStation 4 era comes to an end, Ghost of Tsushima is a fitting goodbye to stellar generation.
The past few days have been great for Sony and the PlayStation brand. Yesterday, Epic Games demonstrated the next-gen's true potential with a dazzling tech demo running real-time on a PlayStation 5. Today, Sony regaled once again with an extended look the very last exclusive to grace the PlayStation 4, Ghost of Tsushima.
As promised earlier this week, PlayStation's latest State of Play focused solely on Ghost of Tsushima. There's a lot to be said for execution, especially in the wake of Microsoft's next-gen gameplay misfire last week.
Sony offered a masterclass.
There were no distractions, no trite jokes, no developers flogging their game through a blurry webcam from a home office. PlayStation jumped right in with the good stuff – the gameplay. And what a treat it was.
It was an ambitious open-world depiction of feudal Japan steeped in natural beauty. The tone perfectly befits roaming the countryside, picking off the enclaves of an occupying Mongol force.
Ghost of Tsushima – Combat and Exploration
The broadcast offered our first sustained look at the core components of the game: exploration and combat.
Protagonist Jin uses the wind to guide him to points of interest while heeding the call of errant wildlife and environmental queues.

Sucker Punch has taken a dual approach to combat: one reflecting the Samurai nobility of Jin where precision and economy are essential. The other adopts stealth through the conduit of the dishonorable titular ghost. The liberal use of dirty tricks, fear, and assassination to down enemies is recommended.
Despite some clear similarities to the Assassin's Creed series and a little Sekiro thrown in for good measure, Ghost of Tsushima looks to gather all the best elements of the massive, open-world sandbox packed with curiosities and action at every turn. And not just that.
It seems to channel the vision and expertise of Sony's first-party know-how to mark a final hurrah for what's been a stellar generation.
A Glorious Goodbye
As the PlayStation 4 era comes to an end, I couldn't think of a more fitting swan song for the platform. There's something poetic about two major Sucker Punch titles book-ending the generation.
It started with Infamous Second Son in the heady early days when developers were getting to grips with the new hardware. It ends with Ghost of Tsushima, an end of life-cycle heavy hitter that harnesses all the power of the seven-year-old console.
We've gone full circle, and the PlayStation 4 has given us so much. What better send-off for the console than Ghost of Tsushima?
Oh, and you can even pet foxes. Bring on July 17.
