Several dogs stranded by lava from a volcano in La Palma, Spain, could soon be rescued.

A drone will drop a net on each dog, then whisk it to safety.

The operation will be fraught with risk, as cargo drone operators try to trap the dogs in nets, lift them into the air and carry them 450 meters (about 1,476 feet) over lava.

It will be the first time an animal is being rescued with a drone that will also trap it, Aerocamaras CEO Jaime Pereira says.

The volcano and its lava flows are currently in something of a holding pattern, authorities in the island said on Tuesday.

No new evacuations are in the works, although experts are preparing preventive measures in neighborhoods along the coast, in case the lava enters the sea nearby and creates toxic gases, according to the local media reports.

Let’s start off with a general reminder that having some body fat is completely normal, not to mention, healthy. That being said, many of us still struggle with that little bit of excess fat in areas that can get uncomfortable and to some, may look unflattering with extra fat. I was aware of treatments like liposuction, that surgically eliminate this excess fat, but was particularly intrigued when I heard about “lunchtime lipo,” a treatment called CoolSculpting, which eliminates your fat using a non-invasive method, which can be carried out during your lunch break without any downtime restricting you from going right back to your regular day to day life. The treatment has become incredibly popular and is available at body sculpting clinics as well as medical spas across the globe. I was able to get some more information on the treatment from the founding doctor of Skinly Aesthetics cosmetic dermatology located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, who offers the treatment at his clinic and treats patients on a near-daily basis with it.

What is CoolSculpting and how does it work?

CoolSculpting is a procedure that uses cryolipolysis to freeze unwanted fat cells and permanently eliminate them. The process is carried out through the use of a vacuum applicator that comes in various sizes, which is placed on the treatment area or area of concern over a protective membrane that is placed on the skin to prevent burning or freezing of the skin. When turned on, the applicator begins to suck in the fat in the area and reduce the temperature gradually. The temperature only goes down to the exact freezing temperature for fat, which prevents all other tissue from freezing. This means that the procedure is non-invasive and also does not damage the skin or any surrounding tissue other than the fat cells. One session allows for 25% of subcutaneous fat reduction, and results can be seen within 1 – 3 months after your first session. “One session will be sufficient for some patients, but others will need up to four sessions, depending on how much fat is initially present,” says Dr. Schwarzburg.

Who is CoolSculpting for?

“At Skinly Aesthetics we recommend CoolSculpting primarily to those who have an overall healthy body weight, but have some extra (pinchable) fat in areas that bother them,” says Dr. Schwarzburg. CoolSculpting is ideal for people who have small pouches of pinchable fat that bothers them. If you can’t pinch it, then it likely is just skin. CoolSculpting will work on people who carry a lot of fat but will require several sessions for results, making a surgical procedure such as liposuction more efficient in that case. 

How to prepare for CoolSculpting?

There isn’t a ton of preparation involved in CoolSculpting. Patients should avoid taking anti-inflammatories before their procedure, but it will not make or break the results of the procedure. Unlike many other methods of fat elimination, CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive, so there is really no preparation needed. In addition, there is no downtime.

What are the side effects?

While CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, there are some possible side effects involved, including numbness in the treatment area, mild swelling, and possible bruising. The numb feeling may persist for up to a month but will subside over time. There are some other minimally invasive treatments, such as Kybella, that involve injections to break down fat cells, which usually result in more pain and side effects, making CoolSculpting an amazing non-invasive tool to use to eliminate fat and skip the downtime.

Every October for the last four decades, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has helped to raise visibility of the most prevalent cancer on Earth.

Despite recorded cases stretching back to ancient Egypt, breast cancer was considered an “unspeakable” condition for millennia.

For most of the last century, a woman suffering from breast cancer would be offered radiation therapy and/or surgery while the treatment of other cancers progressed.

Treatment has been transformed in a generation, thanks to new drugs, cutting-edge screening methods and more subtle and effective surgery.

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly critical role in identifying breast cancer. Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) announced a study of how AI could screen for breast cancer this year.

While intended to augment, not replace, human doctors, this would help to mitigate a shortage of radiographers — 2,000 more are needed to clear the NHS’ backlog in scans caused by the pandemic.

The earlier breast cancer is spotted, the earlier it is the easier it is to treat it, the better it is easier to treat.

Startups are also using AI to screen half a million women in rural and semi-urban areas with a low-cost tool that could help screen large numbers of women.

Banned bitcoin miners were found using China’s state resources to carry on with their operations.

The Chinese Bitcoin mining industry represented the biggest BTC production in the world.

The shutdown of such a significant industry does not only impact the numbers of carbon dioxide emissions but also weights over a big human factor that was reliant on mining operations.

It is being widely reported that many Chinese Bitcoin miners are migrating to the U.S. and countries where they can find cheap electricity and kinder laws.

At press time, Bitcoin trades at $61,824 with sideways movement in the 24-hour chart. The question is raised whether some Chinese crypto miners will find other ways to carry on operations in China’s own way to endure the crisis.

The Chinese government has been working on an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions until they reach carbon neutrality, which has found a big obstacle since they rely on coal for generating electricity. The government is working to reduce its own power shortage.

Video-sharing app TikTok allows pro-anorexia hashtags to be searchable on the app.

TikTok does not allow content promoting or glorifying eating disorders.

The video app surpassed 1 billion active monthly users in September, 60% of whom are between the ages of 16 and 24.

The app’s use of augmented reality camera filters can also contribute to negative body image, especially for young girls, research from UltraViolet found.

The platform in 2020 imposed additional restrictions on weight-loss ads after facing criticism for promoting dangerous and unhealthy diets.

She hoped social media could be a way for them to remain connected with their friends and community.
However, as the months progressed, the girls fell into pro-diet, pro-exercise and ultimately pro-eating-disorder hashtags on the social media app. It started with ?health challenge? photos and recipe videos, Michelle said, which led to more similar content in

Before the US went to war with Huawei, Huawei was like most companies expanding into personal technology. They were happy to license technology from US companies to build their products.  This prior behavior made them more like Samsung than Apple, which rabidly works to own its entire technology stack.  But sanctions forced Huawei to pivot hard to use a next-generation operating system (OS) they had under development for TVs, Harmony, and expand its hardware technology so it could stay in business. This US threat ironically forced the company into the far more insular Apple vertical integration model.  But Huawei has some interesting differences from Apple. These differences allow Huawei to outperform Apple in China and provide a more consumer and, most importantly, developer-friendly set of products to the world.  

Let’s talk about the potential for Huawei’s Harmony OS and why it could eventually bypass the iOS in developer support and market penetration.  

Apple vs. Huawei model

Apple was created along the lines of the old IBM model of doing everything and using lock-in to create a highly reliable revenue stream that most other firms envied.  However, this model was also instrumental to IBM’s near-death.  This near-death experience occurred because, over time, it focused IBM on more creative ways to mine customers for revenue while cutting costs, which created a growing disparity between the ever-lower value the customers received and the ever-higher costs they paid.  

Financial benefits flow to Apple’s reserves, top executives, and stockholders, not employees or customers. This business model is hardly unique to Apple in the US. While Apple continues to enjoy relatively high customer satisfaction, customer growth has all but stalled with revenue increases tied mainly to price increases or new services with ever-higher fees.  Developers, who are foundational to Apple’s position and success, are often treated poorly.  Apple often appears to be at war with their developers rather than supporting them.  Apple seems to believe that all developer profits should instead be Apple’s.  

In contrast, Huawei is China, not U.S.-based, making them much closer to the Chinese market, one of the largest and fastest-growing over the last decade.  Huawei is majority-owned by its employees, not investment firms, and compensation across Huawei appears less stratified between executive staff and line workers.  Huawei is a company that aggressively backs Open Source, and its Harmony OS is shared with other large Chinese companies like Xiaomi and is far more consistent with other newer-model companies like Qualcomm in that way.  Finally, Huawei aggressively recruits developers rather than finding ever more creative ways to make their revenue, making them, potentially, a far better partner for new business than Apple has become.  

Harmony OS

Harmony is an OpenSource microkernel modern OS designed from the start to scale from tiny IoT devices to PCs.  Currently, Huawei products range from their new Huawei Watch 3 to new electric cars (Huawei has entered this market well ahead of Apple) and far more different Smartphones than Apple currently has.  While a US market for Harmony is unlikely until the US removes Huawei’s sanctions, in Europe and Asia, the company’s market is growing. It projects to grow significantly in the near term and is likely to increase focus, potentially outperforming Samsung’s Tizen platform.  

Harmony may be the first genuinely effective scalable operating system to ship at significant volumes. Harmony devices’ interoperability potential and consistency across different hardware platforms assure unmatched revenue potential for developers, which other older operating systems, like the macOS and iOS, can not provide.  

Finally, because Harmony is one operating system, integrating and sharing data across platforms that use Harmony is far easier than trying to do the same thing with different operating systems, particularly if those competing vendors own those platforms.  (Try to get an Apple Watch to work with an Android phone, for instance).  

Wrapping up:

Thanks to US Sanctions, Huawei is modeling itself like an updated Apple.  It is far more focused on employee participation, growing its market, and current generation initiatives like microkernel architectures, massive cross-platform support, licensing, and open source. It still owns quality top to bottom, but it isn’t taking revenue and profits from suppliers or developers. Instead, Huawei focuses on growing market share, not mining existing customers for money and making them potentially less risky outside of the US than Apple.  

It is interesting to note that while the actions against it may have been motivated by an effort to eliminate a Chinese Apple competitor, the strategic result is now a far stronger one.  But, if you are thinking of spending platforms, and mainly if you are sick of working with Apple as a developer and would like to expand in Asia and Europe, Huawei’s Harmony platform may be worth a look.

Prices of fossil fuels around the globe are surging, leading some commodity pros to refer to the current condition as an “energy crisis.”

Energy assets from natural-gas futures to crude-oil have been trading at or around multiyear highs.

Some define it as a bottleneck in the supply of energy resources, with the potential to hamstring economies.

It also carries implications for energy policy as the U.S. attempts to wean itself off crude oil and its byproducts and transition to renewable sources of power.

China has been ratcheting up its imports of coal, with Beijing purchasing 32.88 million tons of coal in September, a 76.8% increase from a year earlier. China banned imports from coal-producing Australia a year ago, which is now limiting Beijing’s ability to outsource the commodity.

The stock market has been unsettled amid the concerns about pricing pressures and its ability to tighten its grip on oil and other fossil fuel markets.

Russia has been blamed for amplifying the energy crisis by limiting its global exports.

Energy crisis is a ‘wake up call’ for Europe to ditch fossil fuels

Soaring energy prices are a stark reminder of how dependent Europe is on fossil fuels and should serve to accelerate the shift towards renewable forms of energy.

A TikTok panel is a website wherein you can purchase social media marketing services that strictly pertain to TikTok. An example of such a service is purchasing followers of TikTok. 

There are hundreds of businesses that are in need of purchasing these services. This is because TikTok has transformed into one of the most effective marketing channels which can help businesses connect to millions of potential customers. 

This article will guide you on how you can choose the right TikTok panel. 

1. Customer support

Before choosing any TikTok panel, the first thing that you need to do is to choose the right customer support. This is of paramount importance. The customer support team of the panel should be responsive and be able to provide answers to your queries. If the customer support team is performing poorly, then your satisfaction levels are going to be low. The quality of the customer support team can simply be tested by talking to them. You will get an idea about how good they are at communicating with people. 

2. Website security

It is essential that you are familiar with the security of the website. We have heard a lot of stories wherein the confidential information of businesses is leaked as a result of acquiring services from panels that are not secure. You should ensure that the website from which TikTok panel services are being acquired is completely secure. You can make transactions with secure services. 

3. Reliability

It is important that you choose a TikTok panel that is of utmost reliability. There is always a possibility that you come across a scam which will run away with your money. You should exercise caution before transferring money. Get in touch with a service which has a good reputation. The portfolio of the panel must be checked. The details of their previous clients can be checked as well. Go through client testimonials to get an idea. Reliability is a major factor that must be taken into account to make the right choice. 

4. Payment options

You need to go through the payment options provided by the TikTok panel service in order to make the right choice. If the panel has more payment options available, then it is a suitable choice. Most of the reliable websites out there will provide you with different payment options. Some websites only ask for credit card details and there is no other alternate option. You must be really cautious while you are providing such credit card details. 

5. Type of services

This is perhaps the most important factor you must take into account while purchasing services from any TikTok panel. There are various services out there and each and every one of them will have a wide range of facilities. Choose a panel that suits your needs and preferences the most. Evaluate whether the services provided by the TikTok panel meet your demands. If such is the case, then you can consider purchasing from the service.

Starting the business of having your own SMM reseller panel can be interesting. It is beneficial to a lot of businesses out there that are in the need of marketing services. These SMM reseller panels can work as a one-stop shop where businesses can acquire various social media marketing services. 

However, in this competitive day and age, it is not easy to start your own SMM reseller panel. Thus, before doing so, it is advisable to consider these tips to effectively begin with your business. 

1. Offer optimal customer support

Businesses are foundationally based on good customer support. This is especially relevant in the service industry. It is imperative to ensure that the panel has a team that is optimal in providing good customer support. By good customer support, it means that the team should be able to offer timely customer support which satisfies the customers. Live chat and bots can be added for such purposes. If the customers are satisfied, your panel will be able to attract more attention on the Internet. 

2. Promote the panel

Do not miss the chance of promoting your panel whenever you can. It is ideal that other people should talk about your reseller panel. However, you yourself should promote the services as well. You can join different groups and communities where you can post about the services offered by the panel. Look out for different places where the services of the panel can be marketed. Promoting is one of the effective ways to get more customers. 

3. Start a blog

It is always a good idea to start your blog which is about SMM reseller panel and the services provided by it. Write different articles regarding how your panel is different from others. You can post about the services which are offered by the panel. This is an effective way in which the services provided by the panel can be effectively marketed. Thus, begin with starting your own blog. 

4. Give bonuses to the customers

This is something that a lot of panels are not doing, even though this is a highly effective tip. If it is financially possible for you to do so, make sure that you set additional bonuses for the customers. This will give customers the incentive to purchase services from you. The bonuses can either be in form of cash, gifts, or giveaways. In any case, you will be able to attract a large pool of audience. 

5. Show consistency

Each and every successful reseller panel in the market took some time to kick off. Thus, it is essential that you are patient. However, during such time, you should show consistency in your work.

Keep reading up on newer things on how these panels can be promoted and consistently try to market the services offered by you.

More than a dozen US officials who work at the US Embassy in Colombia and their family members have reported symptoms consistent with Havana syndrome.

Some officials who reported symptoms in Colombia had to be medevaced from the country, sources say.

US investigators have struggled to determine what or who is causing the symptoms and how exactly they are doing it.

Incidents of Havana syndrome began in late 2016 in Cuba and there have since been cases reported in Russia, China, Austria and other countries across the globe.

President Joe Biden signed into law long-delayed legislation to provide support for victims of the strange confluence of symptoms that have sickened diplomats, spies and service members around the globe, last week.

A good professional Customer Relationship Management tool can facilitate all levels of interaction between your clients and your business. While different CRMs will offer different types of functionality, these tools often allow businesses to manage text messages, keep track of customer interactions across multiple channels, keep track of customer data, and make it easier for sales teams and customer support representatives to keep track of previous interactions between a customer and your business.

Businesses looking to get a CRM solution to help their daily operations have two options. They can either a) get a standard solution from a software provider or b) get a custom CRM tailor-made for the needs of their company. The latter is becoming an increasingly more popular option, as getting a custom solution provides a variety of advantages. Here’s how a custom CRM can benefit a business.

1 – Easier to use

Standard CRMs are designed for broad appeal, which creates certain problems. Chief among them is complexity. If a tool has to work in a wide range of situations, it needs to have a ton of functionality, which increases the complexity of using the tool and makes it harder to learn and use effectively. This often leads to bloated interfaces and hard-to-use features.

A custom CRM, on the other hand, can be built with the specific needs of your company in mind. This means that the team building the solution can include only solutions they know you’re likely to need or use. And if you are getting ongoing support from your software provider, you can ask for features to be added, removed, or changed as needed, to better suit the realities of your company and make it easier for your team to use the platform.

2 – Smoother implementation

Since custom CRMs are built with the realities of your company in mind, it’s much easier to slip them seamlessly into an ongoing operation. The CRM should be easily able to replace all the functionality you were getting from your old tools, and it should be able to integrate with your current data streams with minimal effort. Going for a custom solution also reduces the chances of data being lost during the transition.

3 – Scalability

As mentioned, custom CRMs are necessarily easy to customize, which allows your company to tweak and expand the capabilities of its CRM as it grows. That’s generally easier and more affordable than having to transition to a different tool a few years from now to accommodate for the company’s growth or to adapt to other changes in the market.

4 – Business tools

It’s becoming increasingly common for CRMs to offer additional functionality that goes beyond just connecting businesses to their clients. Custom CRM solutions made for real estate agents, for example, may integrate tools to help sales representatives consult the company’s catalog on the field, or even help customers themselves find homes with the help of chatbots and other automated tools. 

CRMs made for accounting firms may likewise contain dozens of solutions meant to facilitate financial projections and facilitate workflow allocation within the company, among other quality of life tools. And getting a custom CRM built for your company allows you to not only get tools that fit your niche but also tools that will be a good match for your company specifically, all in one comprehensive software solution.

No one wants to have surgery but sometimes, it is a necessary treatment that allows a person to recover from an injury or disease. Unfortunately, surgery does not always go as planned. Just like with anything else in life, surgical mistakes sometimes happen and when they do, patients suffer greater harm as a result. Surgical mistakes are more common than people think and when you are hurt by this type of medical malpractice, it is critical that you know what to do.

Types of Surgical Errors

Unfortunately, there are many types of surgical errors that can occur. The most common of these include:

• Wrong patient
• Wrong surgical site
• Wrong procedure
• Foreign object left in body
• Anesthesia error
• Failing to diagnose a medical condition during surgery
• Damage to healthy organs during surgery
• Failing to prevent or correct complications during surgery

Regardless of the type of surgical error that occurs, it is critical that patients know what to do afterward.

What to Do After a Surgical Error

Patients should always act as their own healthcare advocates, and this begins even before surgery. If you need surgery, you should research your diagnosis and know the full range of treatment options available to you. It is always best to seek a second opinion when necessary, and ask the surgeon what will occur during surgery, as well as the types of complications you may face. Prior to the surgery, you should also ask for a follow-up appointment with the surgeon that performed your surgery.

After the surgery, you should always tell your surgeon or doctor about any intense or sharp pain you are feeling, or any other issue you may experience. If your surgeon or doctor tells you a surgical error was made, ask for a copy of all your hospital records. You should also ask for the hospital to start an investigation and submit a complaint or grievance with the state medical board and the hospital.

As soon as possible after learning of the surgical error, you should contact an attorney that has the necessary experience with medical malpractice cases. A lawyer will conduct their own investigation to determine which party was negligent and will help you file a claim for compensation. Medical malpractice claims are some of the most complex types of personal injury cases and you do not want to file alone. A lawyer will advise on the necessary steps you must take to recover the maximum damages you deserve and will ensure your claim is filed on time.

Call a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Today

If you or someone you love has been hurt by a surgical error, it is important to call a medical malpractice attorney today. You do deserve compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, and more and a skilled attorney can help you obtain it. You only have a limited amount of time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit for surgical errors. Reach out to an experienced lawyer today and get the sound legal advice you need.

If you have been accused of sexual misconduct in a college environment, you may want to file a complaint against the school. Title IX of the Civil Rights Act gives you this right, prohibiting discrimination in colleges and universities based on gender. Failure to comply with Title IX can mean a school loses its federal funding like student loans or grants. This is the reason a lot of schools have established disciplinary procedures to favor victims over the accused. But, Title IX also gives protection to the accused from bias in the disciplinary process. Therefore, you should get unbiased hearing examiners and procedures. A nationwide Title IX defense lawyer can help you understand the rights the law gives you. 

Title IX Defense

To defend yourself against a sexual misconduct allegation in your college or university, you need to assess the disciplinary procedures of your school to ensure they give you the rights required by Title IX. Because every college has different and complex procedures, you should let a Title IX defense lawyer do it for you. Your attorney can advise you on how you can protect your rights and document injustices when you have to seek a federal court to challenge an unfavorable result. 

The Appeal Process

Under the appeal process of most colleges and universities, the alleged victim and the accused can appeal the findings of the panel to the university president or other official. Also, the appeal process should be free of bias against sex. Your attorney can help you appeal the finding and sanction if the panel finds you responsible for violating the school’s policy. If you are not found responsible, your lawyer can advise you in preparing your appeal in response to the accuser’s appeal. 

What to Expect When the College of University Finalizes Its Decision

If the panel makes an unfavorable decision, you can bring a Title IX case in court to challenge it. If you do this, you need to demonstrate the school was biased or discriminated against you based on your sex. Also, you must prove such action as intentional. 

When to Hire a Lawyer

The complexity of a Title IX defense shows the need to have a lawyer as early in the process as possible. Your lawyer can identify shortfalls in the school’s disciplinary procedures, process biases, and issues with the way the hearings were conducted, and the officials of the university making the decisions. Contacting an attorney sooner than later reduces the risk of you missing a defect or waiving your rights.

Most people often do not appreciate the use of their hands until they are not adequately and correctly working. Conditions of upper extremities can cause struggle in everyday tasks. A simple task such as typing a simple email and even getting dressed up in the morning for work becomes difficult chores. Dr. Kristopher Downing in La Jolla is an experienced upper extremity specialist who treats problems affecting everything from your fingertips to your shoulders so that you can enjoy your daily activities and go on with life uninterrupted.

Conditions

Many people worldwide are involved in lifting work, engineering work, and sports that involve throwing movements. These people, therefore, are susceptible to the following shoulder and elbow injuries;

Arthritis: It is a condition that causes swelling, stiffness, and pain in the joints and body supporting structures such as tendons, muscles, ligaments, and bones in the hands.

Carpal tunnel syndrome: The median nerve in your wrist becomes compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel causing pain.

Congenital anomalies: The absence of extra fingers due to problems with the body system

Fractures result from broken bones due to high force impact, physical stress, and medical conditions such as osteoporosis.

Sprain and strain are due to stretching and injuries of muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the upper extremities.

Shoulder tendonitis: It is the inflammation of the tendons causing swelling and discomfort.

Rotator cuff injury: It is the tearing of the shoulder’s four cuff muscles.

Shoulder dislocation: An injury that causes the arm bones to pop out of the shoulder socket.

Cubital tunnel syndrome: Occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes compressed at the elbow causing pain and numbness.

Epicondylitis: Overuse injuries that affect the tendons in the elbow.

Treatment

Treatment options involve conservative physical and occupational therapy, anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid medication, and minimally invasive procedures. After diagnosis through MRI, Joint fluid analysis, blood tests, ultrasounds, and X-rays, the following procedure is used to alleviate the pain;

There are hardly any human workers at Nissan’s “intelligent” plant. Reason is that the robots does all the work, from welding and mounting to paint jobs. 

The workers at the factory can focus on more skilled work such as analyzing data collected by the robots, and on maintaining the equipment.

The factory, on the outskirts of Tokyo, is set to be up and running sometime before April, according to Nissan.

Its assembly line is designed so that all three types of models — electric; e-Power, which has both a motor and an engine, and those powered by regular combustion engine — can be built on the same line.

Each vehicle is equipped with the right powertrain as it moves along the line.

The innovations being tested in Tochigi will be gradually rolled out at its other global plants, including French alliance partner Renault’s factories.  The innovation eliminates the need for rare earth materials, cutting costs.

The pandemic has set numerous problems around the world. But along with that came the new world order that is expected to last even after the infectious disease comes to an end. People are also likely to be more integrated than ever with digital and cloud technologies. That is why intelligent integrated enterprises adopt digital technologies for improved business decision-making. Asset management systems are also used for this reason. 

What Is A Smart-Integrated Enterprise?

Innovative integrated enterprises are businesses that have taken up digital technologies and artificial intelligence to combine their operations. It also helps bring critical information from several systems to foster organization-wide insights into the business and processes to promote efficient decision-making. 

How Can Smart Integrated Enterprises Mitigate The Risk Of The New World?

The uncertainty of staff unavailability is quite a threat to businesses today around the world. Onsite staff must bear high dependency to monitor several OT systems at the factory shop floor and use them. All these years, industries have been treading forward, including remote monitoring services. But these initiatives are restricted in numbers and scales. 

There is a stringent requirement to monitor the OT environment that incorporates processes, people, and equipment. This helps to keep in mind proper operations continuity. It also helps make sure that they are maintained, and all health and safety norms are followed. Such a thing will allow businesses to work efficiently with local staff and encourage them with tools. This will be done to help monitor and operate several manufacturing plants. 

Many businesses are also consistently facing supply chain challenges because of equipment breakdowns. By using Internet Of Things and machine learning, intelligent integrated enterprises can take up condition-based maintenance. Such a thing will foster the idea of decreasing the bandwidth crunch on the restricted workforce. It will also help smoothen out supply chain disruptions. 

Technology can also help limited maintenance staff make the most of the expertise of the subject matter experts situated in diverse areas. This is best to practice the maintenance work on site. Apart from this, solutions such as VR/AR guided operations may come in handy to achieve these efficiencies and decrease supply chain disruptions. 

What Does It Take To Be Integrated?

With industries and their operations becoming more integrated, the complexity of ecosystems is also multifold. Many businesses may find it difficult to operate such complex technology in a reliable and scalable way. Such a thing is not one-dimensional. However, it works closely with the number and variety of technology that pivots functioning unitedly. This may include connectivity to OT ecosystems, connecting over several protocols, and many sets of devices. But as the sustainability of businesses relies on these initiatives, intelligent integrated enterprises will require partners to assist innovative integrated operations fostering business functions and technology.

Tesla announced they are moving to Texas, and Austin has become a decent competitive alternative to California with a critical mass of technical folks and lower taxes.  However, Texas is also an extremely conservative state, joined at the hip to the petrochemical industry, and not a fan of electric cars.  More importantly, the state has recently passed a series of laws that appear to significantly aggravate the U.S. liberal population that outbuy conservatives with Teslas significantly. Tesla’s existing customer base is primarily liberal, and their movement to boycott Texas is expanding.  

This move comes right when almost every other car company is bringing credible competitive offerings to market, making Musk’s move a potentially substantial early Christmas present to these other companies as liberal Tesla buyers now begin to abandon Tesla because it doesn’t seem to support liberal ideas like not mistreating employees.  (Granted, Musk has gone off the rails in the past on this issue).  

Musk, in many ways, reminds me of Steve Jobs, who was genuinely brilliant, but in issues that had to do with ethics, and people seemed to be often pretty clueless.  

Let’s chat about why this move to Texas is happening at the worst possible time for Tesla

Tesla going to Texas is nuts

Texas is the state that has promised to boycott companies that don’t support the oil industry, and unless Tesla is planning on building a gas-powered car, you’d think it would qualify.  Texas is also working on a bill that would ban Tesla from servicing its cars in the State, making it interesting for the Tesla staff that drives, oh, I don’t know, Teslas.  Maybe this move will stop that proposal from making it to a bill, but Texas is hardly a fan of electric cars, given they are planning to penalize Tesla drivers for driving Teslas.  

Knowing how wedded Texas is to oil (it is the State’s most significant Industry), you’d think Musk would want to pick a state that maybe was a little more electricity favorable. Due to poor cold weather preparedness during their last power outage, they blamed their fledgling renewable energy industry.  And Tesla isn’t part of the protected natural gas Industry in Texas. They are part of the renewable energy industry under attack by Texas.  

I certainly get that Musk is frustrated with California.  Musk wanted to continue to put Tesla employees at risk during the Covid outbreak, and a local health official stepped in and said no.  Texas is far more willing to put workers at risk to preserve corporate profits, and I get that, but that doesn’t play well either for the typical liberal Tesla buyer.  

The move, which puts money in front of everything else, would play well to a conservative audience of which Texas is a significant part but, again, conservatives don’t buy Tesla cars. Liberals do.  There are already efforts to boycott Tesla resulting from past Musk decisions; this move could be the biggest one yet.  

Competitive risk

Up until now, Tesla hasn’t had much competition. Only a handful of carmakers have brought out electric cars, which generally underperformed Tesla’s because most were learning platforms for the carmakers.  But we are just short of most European and U.S. carmakers making a significant run at the segment with high-performance offerings coming from Audi and a breadth of compelling offerings coming from GM and Ford.  The Mustang Mach e has sold out, and GM sold out all of next year’s production of Cadillac Lyriq cars, and the fit and finish of the new Audi high-performance electric put any Tesla to shame.  

If those cars are selling out sight unseen, imagine what will happen when they hit the market? It’s an odd time to massively piss off your installed base, which is likely considering these alternatives much like they did the earlier Porsche Taycan. 

Wrapping up:

I’ve seen a lot of foolish moves, but typically, when you are about to receive a massive wave of compelling competitive offerings in the market, you want to embrace and love your customer base, not kick them in the butt and spit in their faces. Yet that is what Musk did with his announcement this week. While he has gotten away with doing crazy things in the past, this maneuver places him in a state that hates his product and his customer base. Maybe this is the final straw, and the camel isn’t at all happy.
