It said the blast furnaces were "no longer financially sustainable," blaming "highly challenging" market conditions, tariffs and costs associated with moving to lower-carbon production techniques.
“On your watch, you’re not going to measure your ECG continuously because you drain your battery straight away.”In addition, movement – both of the wearable itself on a wrist, for example, and general movement of the person wearing it - can “create noise” in the data it collects, he adds, making it less reliable.

“The boundaries between incident and alert need to be managed carefully,” he wrote in a blog post. “I’m curious to see how device-makers, emergency services, first responders and individuals think about this technology in the future.”Part of the message reads: "The German War is now over.
"At Rheims last night the instrument of surrender was signed which in effect is a surrender of all personnel of the German forces all equipment and shipping and all machinery in Germany."Reflecting on the message 80 years later, Mr Morgan, said: "I was so pleased to get it because, like all of us, we all wanted to get back home... but you can't do it overnight."
