The document discusses the security risks posed by bringing personal mobile devices into the workplace (BYOD) and strategies for addressing them. It notes that BYOD is becoming common regardless of company policies and that the real risks depend more on how users handle devices than the devices themselves. While policies are necessary, education may be more important. Responsibility for security is shared between the company and the individual user. In the end, BYOD programs can work if risks are properly understood and mitigated.
This presentation discusses a new device called NIMA that can test food for gluten in under 2 minutes. It was designed by a team from Google, Nike, and Stanford. The idea for NIMA came from Shireen Yates, an MIT MBA who has gluten sensitivity, at a wedding in 2012 where she thought that if we put a man on the moon, detecting gluten should be possible. The kit contains the NIMA device, 3 one-time-use capsules, a micro-USB cable, and carrying pouch. NIMA uses Bluetooth to connect to a smartphone through its accompanying app, and runs on a rechargeable battery.
Rodents such as mice and rats often migrate indoors during winter, seeking shelter, food, and warmth. They can cause damage to homes and transmit diseases. It is important to take protective measures against rodents over winter such as using rodenticides, electronic traps, or glue boards. Preventing mice requires good food storage, sanitation practices, and sealing cracks and holes in foundations where mice can enter.
Six smart products to cut your energy billJack Kelly
Six products that can cut energy bills are:
1) A spot thermometer to detect cold spots indicating air leaks for additional insulation.
2) Properly insulating the home by sealing cracks, filling holes with foam sealant, or using recycled cotton insulation.
3) Switching to LED light bulbs which use 20% of the energy of incandescent bulbs.
4) A programmable thermostat to automatically adjust temperatures throughout the day for when home is occupied.
5) Draught excluders to block air coming under doors.
6) Vent covers to prevent air entering through air conditioning vents.
One of the most dangerous and unpredictable of natural disasters. We had one here in Tennessee a few ago and it was deadly. California has them. Colorado. Oregon. Washington State. They can occur anywhere there is material to burn. They happen quickly and move fast. They are deadly. They can happen almost anywhere. Are you prepared for a wildfire? Do you know what to do if one strikes? Includes the Wildfire app links.

The shade: As much as possible, don’t leave or use your gadgets in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Keep your gadgets in the shade to keep their temperature in check. This also shields your device from harmful
