It was a great privilege to have the Honorable Francisco de la Torre the General Consul of Mexico in Dallas as a guest.

This year, the General Consulate of Mexico in Dallas will celebrate the Mexican Independence within the Culinary Summit of Mexican Cuisine: Mexico of 1000 Flavors, 

During this celebration, gastronomic, commercial, artistic, academic, cultural and entertainment activities will be developed.

100 Years of Tex Mex Food

The popularity of Mexican cuisine has led to the emergence of several variations of this cuisine in other countries. The Tex-Mex cuisine evolved in Texas-Mexico in Southwest America, and is a modification of traditional cuisine with an unusual American touch to it. One of the best examples of the Tex-Mex cuisine is the ‘refried beans’, which is a term that has actually been coined in Texas, and is the translation of the Mexican term ‘Frijoles refritos’. The Tex-Mex cuisine is however quite different from original Mexican cuisine, even though it might include the same ingredients to a certain extent. Similarly, there also exists a ‘New Mexican Cuisine’, a type of regional cuisine originating from the state of New Mexico in USA and in southern Colorado, and is a subset of Mexican-American cuisine.

Karl talks to Mark Friedlander, from the Insurance Information Institute, and he tals about the essential things a property owner and business need to think about when preparing for emergency situations that involve insurance.

Mark Friedlander, a seasoned insurance industry communications and marketing leader, has been appointed as the Insurance Information Institute’s (I.I.I.) new Florida-based communications consultant.

For nearly 60 years, the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) has been the leading independent source of objective information, insight, analysis and referral on insurance for a wide range of audiences, including: Consumers, insurance professionals, the media, government and regulatory organizations, educational institutions and students.

The I.I.I.’s mission is to improve public understanding of insurance—what it does and how it works. And with this goal in mind, our website, blog and social media channels offer a wealth of research, white papers, videos, articles, infographics and other resources to inform and educate—while the annual Insurance Fact Book is the definitive research resource of its kind.

Operational efficiencies are improving by leveraging “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices, allowing companies to collect data from systems, devices, etc. that was previously difficult or even impossible to obtain. Nowadays, with the evolution of data storage, networks, devices and technologies, data streaming is becoming a key factor to consider while designing architectures and applications due to the increased possibility of ingesting new sources of data to combine it with social media and other streaming data sources, managing them all together alongside traditional batch-based.

However, there are some aspects of the streaming of data by IoT devices that are different from other sources. It tends to be more time sensitive, the volume is typically quite large, it may not have value in the long term, and, generally speaking, you get the most value when it’s combined with other enterprise data to complement the business view. Some other challenges, examples, and possible solutions are listed below.

How are companies using streaming data from IoT devices to improve operational efficiencies? Can you provide 2-3 examples?

Some companies are using IoT sensors to collect information from mailboxes or cities' trash cans. These devices sense how full the containers are and, based on the information being streamed to their platforms, they can input the data and leverage optimization algorithms to analyze the best route for their trucks. These algorithms also include other data sources like traffic status so the route can be further optimized, suggesting drivers a route as well as the best time schedule. In this example, companies can save money on both fuel and transportation maintenance. Other companies create efficiency indexes based on historical data. Data from vessels such as speed, wind speed, route, and temperature is collected, processed and then compared with historical data, allowing the creation of real time energy efficiency tracking. Additionally, it is possible to do prescriptive recommendations on how to reduce costs.
