This document discusses several emerging technologies that could potentially be weaponized and become weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) between 2010-2075. These include smart dust, smart clothing, smart bacteria, gel computing, conscious botnets, information waves, optical brain computers, and a solar wind deflection gun. The document warns that advances in nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science could enable new types of extremism, terrorism and pose catastrophic risks if not developed and applied carefully and ethically. Overall the document presents a vision of rapidly advancing future technologies and their potential for both benefit and misuse unless precautions are taken to guide their development responsibly.
Thermal network cameras Performance considerations for intelligent videoAxis Communications
Thermal cameras have many advantages, such as allowing users to detect people, objects and incidents
in complete darkness and difficult conditions such as smoke, haze, dust and light fog. Eliminating the
need for flood lights, they reduce light pollution. In addition, a thermal camera is a reliable platform for
integrating intelligent software applications. A conventional network camera reacts to changes in the
captured image and can, for example, be disturbed by shades and back lighting. A thermal network
camera detects the thermal radiation from the object, which is a more static parameter compared to
visual changes in an image.

Ambient Intelligence and City of Tomorrow : My Vision for services and uses of a connected city.
February 2013
A city is a place where human beings gather to meet their daily needs of life.
A city is a place of life and it is itself alive. A city develops itself over time, A city grows and becomes more complex.
In the city there are multiplicities of needs: uses, services, flows, which are diversified: housing, education, mobility, culture, health, environment, safety, energy, waste management, communication …
Each city is changing in its own context and at its own pace. Those are themselves diverse and evolving. Contexts can be of different natures: cultural, geopolitical, historical, religious, human…
Those contexts also shape many of the city’s characteristics.
In any case, vital human needs are to be met. Indeed, mankind always looks to meet new needs to ensure a better quality of life, a better comfort and progress.
In our vision, our cities, in fact are Complex Systems… The City will go towards transverse, open, scalable, adaptive ecosystems, allowing mankind to blossom.
Why is a city a complex system?
Because a city is alive, A city, like any living, changes over time.
The city we know today will not be the city of tomorrow and it is different from yesterday’s.
The city has a metabolism and many rich ecosystems. The city is very heterogeneous. Like any complex system, we never have a global view of how it evolves. The city is fragile and must adapt to changes all the time.
For us, the city must be described as complex systems with a decomposition into many systems, many subsystems and many components. Their interactions dictate their dynamics, their global behavior, their actions now and in the future.
Therefore, urban planning is limited by the own nature of its complexity.
In any complex system, its development is driven by the action of two vectors: necessity and chance.
In the city, needs are uses and functions, chance is hazard and risk.
In the city these vectors of complexity are constantly present and growing. The city is in permanent movement; In fact, the city is fragile, very fragile. Fragility is one of its features
At any time and everywhere in the city many unexpected events of all kind are happening. They demand us to react. They can also be very seriously affecting lives, practices and services.
Resilience is the major key to ensure continuity of services in the city during time of crisis.
In our vision, city has to adapt, learn, grow, be strong, independent, self repairing, and self breeding.
In our vision, in order to develop the city and manage this complexity, new paradigms and news practices are needed. For us AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE is the paradigm.

Ontario Smart Grid Opportunities in the Electrical Utility Sector - MaRS Mark...MaRS Discovery District
To become smart grid leaders, Ontario needs to effect a transformation in a risk-averse environment. To do so, the province needs not only to advance its electricity infrastructure but also embrace a long-term and global vision.
This breakfast panel brings together diverse energy-sector stakeholders, including utilities, key industry players, government authorities, regulatory bodies and innovators.
Does an opportunity exist for Ontario utilities that implement intelligent operations to leverage that expertise into other markets? Can synergy between innovation and the electricity sector be created to support these practices? How much are we open to change?

Recruiting in the Digital Age: A Social Media MasterclassLuanWise

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Games machines and phones have high processing power and lots of sensor
capability, but low security. Good platform for decryption engines and network

Students might attempt to realise consciousness networks just for fun, but it
could get out of hand. Aggregated power compares well with brain so even an
extremely inefficient algorithm might still be feasible.
Others might attempt to do so deliberately with varying motivation

If we create smarter-than-man machines, we risk extinction.
Even if they are not malign, we may end up in the same
