The NFL playoffs are underway, and fans are finding ways to simulate tailgating during the COVID-19 pandemic. Football watch parties are synonymous with eating fatty foods and drinking alcohol. Have you ever wondered what all of that eating and drinking does to your body?
Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine simulated a tailgating situation with a small group of overweight but healthy men and examined the impact of the eating and drinking on their livers using blood tests and a liver scan. They discovered remarkably differing responses in the subjects.
Connections Summit
Parks Associates will host the 15
th annual CONNECTIONS™ Summit: Smart Home Growth Strategies virtually on January 14, in cooperation with CES® 2021, featuring executives from AmTrust, Cox, F-Secure, Firedome, ioXt Alliance, Minim, Plume, and PointCentral. Nearly one-third of US broadband households have children at home, and our research shows these are the leaders in adopting new connected technologies, a trend sharpened by COVID-19, said Elizabeth Parks, President, Parks Associates. Forty-three percent of US broadband households with children purchased an electronics device during the COVID-19 crisis, a rate double that of households without children. These consumers are more likely to have security concerns related to personal data and privacy, so they are the prime target market for new service offerings that can bundle privacy protections with a variety of advanced services.
