<\/strong>Cleanliness and detoxifying have become pervasive in cosmetics, diets, and wellness but a growing body of research suggests that dirt is good for us, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/8de34405-1a1a-4634-8f0a-c28de1407683\">Financial Times<\/a> reports. \u201cWe\u2019re entering an age when soil-friendly practices and regenerative agriculture are going to feed through to what we put on our skin, the food we eat and how we behave,\u201d said Beth McGroarty, vice president of research and forecasting at the <a href=\"https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/\">Global Wellness Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is \u201cregenerative\u201d agriculture?<\/strong> The term refers to a more eco-friendly approach that goes beyond simply preserving the soil and actively offers solutions, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/01\/soil-degradation-conservation-farming-nature-risks\/\">The World Economic Forum<\/a> estimates that we only have less than 60 years of this topsoil left. One scoop of soil may contain up to 50 bn lifeforms and this incredible diversity is critical to the health of the soil, which works to distribute water and nutrients to plants, and control rainfall, among other essential factors to maintaining the health of our planet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s impacting modern beauty and wellness companies as well: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bogskincare.com\/\">Bog Skincare<\/a>, which is named after a 2k-year-old body discovered perfectly preserved in bogland some 20 years ago, bases its formulas on organic peat, which contains anti-aging antioxidant levels 300 times higher than Trolox, the industry standard antioxidant, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/222115970_A_multi-proxy_palaeoenvironmental_investigation_of_the_findspot_of_an_Iron_Age_bog_body_from_Oldcroghan_Co_Offaly_Ireland\">clinical trials<\/a> by Glasgow University. Further research discovered that the peat\u2019s humic and fulvic acids had anti-wrinkle capabilities. Perfume companies are also beginning to focus more on soil-friendly practices rather than making general \u201csustainable\u201d claims. Leading the movement is Guerlain, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcimagazine.com\/brands-products\/news\/news\/21865994\/guerlain-commissions-nft-auction\">recently auctioned off<\/a> digital artwork NFTs to raise funds for a new \u201claboratory garden\u201d dedicated to investigating regenerative agriculture practices.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-03\"><\/a> <strong>Ever wondered why you get bitten by mosquitoes more than others?<\/strong> Some people have higher levels of specific acids on their skin which are irresistible to the pesky insects, according to a study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell\/fulltext\/S0092-8674(22)01253-3?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0092867422012533%3Fshowall%3Dtrue\">New York\u2019s Rockefeller University<\/a>. Participants were asked to put nylon stockings on their arms to capture the natural odor of their skin. The stockings were then placed in a clear plastic container full of mosquitos to observe which the insects flocked to the most. People with higher levels of carboxylic acids on their skin were more likely to be \"mosquito magnets,\" the study's principal researcher said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breakthrough in the production of bug spray:<\/strong> These discoveries may pave the way for new products that mask or alter certain human scents, reducing mosquito bites and the spread of sometimes deadly diseases like yellow fever, dengue, and Zika virus. Some 700 mn people globally catch diseases caused by mosquitoes each year, and studies expect that numbers will climb as temperatures rise, a University of Washington professor and a mosquito expert tells the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wellness\/2022\/10\/18\/why-mosquitos-bite-some-people\/\">Washington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-05\"><\/a> <strong>iPhones are going to have USB-C chargers:<\/strong> Apple will adhere to a EU law requiring it to replace its iPhones\u2019 lightning chargers to USB-C, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-10-26\/apple-will-comply-with-iphone-usb-c-charger-law-exec-says?srnd=premium-middle-east&leadSource=uverify%20wall\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing the tech giant\u2019s marketing chief Greg Joswiak. Apple will make the shift next year, ahead of the law going into effect in 2024, Joswiak said. The chargers have been a point of contention between Apple and the EU for 10 years, he said. It\u2019s still unclear whether the USB-C supported iPhones will be rolled out exclusively in the EU or worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n

href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/p0b6k5gx\/this-is-going-to-hurt\">This is Going to Hurt<\/a> is a BBC series created by Adam Kay, based on his best-selling 2017 memoir. Set in 2006, the show stars Ben Whishaw (whom you may recognize as Q from the 007 films) as an overworked junior doctor struggling with immense fatigue as he works in the obstetrics and gynecology ward. The grueling job takes a toll on Kay\u2019s relationships, as he struggles with his family and tries to maintain a social life. Characters routinely break the fourth wall in the series, directly addressing viewers with dialogue, and the plot is full of comedic and dramatic tones.

We break them down for you here:<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1- Digital Immune System (DIS): <\/strong>In order for a business to be cyber resilient, it needs a data-driven defense strategy against viruses (in the form of a technical solution) that can serve as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntandhackett.com\/blog\/insights-the-driving-force-behind-a-digital-immune-system\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">the digital immune system (DIS) to a firm\u2019s IT environment<\/a>. Much like a biological immune system, a DIS is \u201cadaptable and constantly evolving\u201d to tackle unforeseen attacks. Once a DIS overcomes a virus, it is able to do so over and over again. However, if a DIS is not evolving consistently, it will be unable to take on new threats and eventually lose its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIS <\/strong><strong>application<\/strong><strong>s: <\/strong>Brazilian bank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itau.com.br\/\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">Banco Ita\u00fa<\/a> was able to increase the amount of events that are automatically remedied by 37% and lower mean resolution time for resolving issues by 45% after adding capabilities for prevention and correction to its monitoring systems, according to the Gartner report. American Airlines also ramped up its DIS to tackle growing system complexity and fix unknown vulnerabilities and weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2- Applied observability:<\/strong> Data observability is a company\u2019s \u201cability to understand, diagnose, and manage data health across multiple IT tools throughout the data lifecycle.\u201d Applied observability takes things a step further by allowing IT executives to make faster, more accurate future decisions by using real data as opposed to predictions, according to Gartner. Tesla, for example, uses aspects of applied observability to determine the cost of car ins. for drivers. The company uses features in some of its models to determine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/support\/insurance\/real-time-insurance\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">the ins. premium for a vehicle<\/a> based on a driver\u2019s Safety Score \u2014 an assessment of driving behavior to generate a score that determines the probability of a future collision. Daily Safety Scores are combined into a 30-day mileage-weighted average to calculate the Safety Score used to update a driver\u2019s premium every month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3- AI trust, risk and security management (AI TRiSM): <\/strong>AI TRiSM exists to tackle ethical, business, and legal issues raised by artificial intelligence. While AI is a strong and versatile instrument used to solve and ease our daily lives \u2014 from giving song suggestions on Spotify to saving us hours with Google Maps \u2014 the benefit a tool provides from its success is often comparable to the impact of its failure, warns governance, risk, and compliance firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairly.ai\/blog\/ai-trism-ai-trust-risk-security-management\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">Fairly<\/a>. In other words, with great power comes great responsibility: An unintentional bias from an AI algorithm can lead to qualified individuals not getting a life-altering job, digital privacy service provider, <a href=\"https:\/\/tripleblind.ai\/article\/ai-trust-risk-security-responsible-ai\/\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">Triple Blind<\/a> reports. Enter AI TRiSM \u2014 a \u201cframework that supports AI model governance, trustworthiness, fairness, reliability, robustness, efficacy and privacy,\u201d according to Gartner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Real world AI TRiSM, groundbreaking results: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/danishbusinessauthority.dk\/\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">The Danish Business Authority<\/a>(DBA) devised a system of applying ethical principles to AI models, according to the report, by linking its ethical guidelines to real actions. They established a model monitoring framework to check predictions against fairness tests in 16 AI models that monitor financial transactions worth EUR bns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4- Industry cloud platforms: <\/strong>Industry clouds are collections of cloud services, applications, and other tools that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/pages\/consulting\/solutions\/industry-cloud-solutions.html\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">built for strategic use cases<\/a> in specific industries. They bring together cloud services that would otherwise be purchased individually in a pre-integrated and adjustable manner. Businesses that use industry clouds to utilize carefully considered, cutting-edge digital solutions will probably gain a considerable competitive advantage. By 2027, over 50% of companies will use industry cloud platforms to expedite their business initiatives, Gartner predicts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry cloud platforms in action: <\/strong>One of the most heavily populated cities in China, Hangzhou, collaborated with multinational tech player Alibaba to address its congestion problem by developing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/alibaba-city-brain-artificial-intelligence-china-kuala-lumpur\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">a cloud-based system called the City Brain<\/a>. The system monitors every vehicle in the city and stores information that it gathers from public transportation data, thousands of cameras, and a mapping app, among other sources. AI then processes the data and uses it to control city congestion by controlling traffic lights to speed up traffic and alerting authorities about collisions and illegal parking incidents. Following implementation, the city's congestion ranking plummeted from the fifth-most crowded city in the country to the 57th spot, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2019\/01\/15\/tech\/alibaba-city-brain-hangzhou\/index.html\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#5- Platform engineering: <\/strong>Having an efficient system to cut the time it takes to deliver apps and increase the pace of producing business value can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zlifecycle.com\/blog\/platform-engineering\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 118, 1);\">give companies a competitive edge<\/a>. Platform Engineering is a term used to describe the process of creating common platforms as a product \u2014 having a dedicated team that builds and maintains a platform used to accelerate the delivery of apps. Nike's use of platform engineering has enabled it to adapt to change more rapidly, accelerating the time it takes to market and saving operating costs while boosting its scalability, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div
