In this market, the high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) purifier is predicted to be the most widely accepted segment followed by activated carbon and electrostatic precipitator globally. HEPA is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment as they are highly efficient in removing airborne particles including pollen, dust, smoke, and bio-contaminants. The increasing prominence of smart homes and the rising demand for a proper ambient-based living are the major reasons for the growth of HEPA technology.
Activated carbon filters the carbon surface area and makes it porous, resulting in its ability to trap airborne particles and make them effective. Electrostatic precipitator technology is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment as they handle a large volume of gas, heavy dust loads, and corrosive materials. They are mainly found in public places.
Insight by Industry
Based on industry, the air purification systems market is segmented into Automotive, Construction, Healthcare & Medical, Energy & Utilities, Manufacturing, Others (residential, education, aviation, and hospitality sectors). The automotive sector dominates the market in 2020 and is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for automobiles globally and rising concern for indoor air quality of automobiles. The construction and healthcare & medical sector is anticipated to have a high CAGR during the forecast period owing to widespread use of air purifiers in hospitals, laboratories, retail stores, supermarkets, etc. where a lot of people gather and the chances of respiratory infections are more.

Title: Live to Serve Author: sorion Warnings: alludes to the current political climate in the US (and to a lesser degree the UK) Summary: Bond completes objectives. How he completes them is up to him.
Bond barely batted an eye when his solitary corner of the bar he'd chosen was invaded by another patron with his own drink.
"Felix," he greeted him.
"James. What a surprise."
Bond's smirk widened. "Tell the truth. You knew I was in the States the moment I set foot on the ground."
Felix's lip twitched sardonically. "When you got on the plane to come here."
Bond chuckled.
"I've learned that it pays to keep track of your movements." He tilted his head to look at him and raised an eyebrow. "Just in case."
"I'd be insulted if I didn't do the same thing with you."
They grinned at each other wordlessly and returned to their drinks.
"So," Felix interrupted their companionable silence. "What brings you here?"
"Is that American for, 'What havoc can I expect you to wreak on my home turf'?"
Felix pretended to consider that. "Sounds about right."
Bond's amused eyes wandered to the muted news on the television in the corner of the bar and darkened. "Not as much havoc as I'd like to wreak."
Felix followed his line of sight. "Tell me about it," he agreed. Then he straightened, cleared his throat, and added in a chatty tone, "What's your people's stance on overthrowing foreign governments, these days?"
Bond, fortunately, wasn't swallowing at that moment, or he would have choked on it. It still took all his not inconsiderable self-restraint to not laugh out loud. "Overthrowing governments of allies is sadly frowned upon." He pondered that for a second. "Yours?"
"Same." He leaned closer. "Any orders to such an effect, regardless?" he asked carefully.
Bond shook his head. "More's the pity. I live to serve, and I serve by completing objectives." He squinted at Felix. "How I complete them is my prerogative, however."
Felix nodded slowly, indicating that he was operating similarly.
"What I'd like to do," Bond continued, his lethal eyes on the news, "would be like trying to put out a fire with nitro-glycerine, so I was thinking something more subtle."
"Mhm..." Felix hummed, his voice thrumming with satisfaction. "Subtle is not quite your thing."
Bond's shark-like smile was all teeth. "I know a guy..."
"Smart, dark-haired, gorgeous, can kill from his bed in his pyjamas?" Felix guessed.
They shared a look like two bloodhounds catching a scent.
Felix held out his hand.
Bond took it.
"We live to serve. We aim to please."

Title: An Assist Author: Anyawen Warnings: Summary: Bond learns that he's been equipped with an unlooked-for advantage.
Bond paused, studying the bullet he was loading into his spare clip. There were scratches on the base of the casing. That was decidedly odd. Q would never send out ammunition with any sort of flaw that could impair its use, or worse, damage the gun — or the agent using it. He ran a finger over the base but couldn't detect the scratches. Turning it in his hands he looked again. Definitely there. And, he checked, also on all the other bullets in the clip. The chance of a bad bullet from Q-branch was staggeringly small, but not zero. The chance of an entire bad batch escaping notice, however, could be measured in negative numbers. If Q sent these bullets out into the field, then these marks were meant to be there. There must be a reason for them. There was something niggling at him. He’d seen this pattern of scratches before. He glanced over at his Walther. Picking it up he peered at it closely, turning it over and over in his hands. Ah. There it was. On the back of the trigger was a faint glimmer of markings. ... .||. .|.. .| |.|. . .|. .  ... | ..| |.. . || ..| ... It took him a minute to recognize that the lines were dashes among a smattering of dots. After that realization the letters came easily. "placere studemus" Translating the Latin took slightly longer. A moment later he tapped his ear and heard the faint ambient sounds of Q-branch through the earwig. "Do you require assistance, 007?" Q asked. "Interesting numbers in your annual report." "Focus on the mission, Bond. We can discuss—  " "Decreased stray bullet injuries on ops over the last year, but no noticeable increase in range scores," Bond continued, speaking over Q. "True." "We're hitting our targets more often without actually being better shots." "An impressive feat." "Very. I've not seen magic like it since my gran passed." "I- What?" "She was a hedge witch." "Oh. Are you ..." "No," Bond replied as he finished loading the clip. "Can't sense or cast magic. Recognized the marks as spellwork, though. Nice work. You're some sort of technomage?" "Something like that." "And the spell?" "Merely an assist." "An effective one." "Thank you." "Just one thing, Q." "Yes?" "Is that phrase really the best anchor you could come up with?" "Well. You can't deny it's apropos. After all, 'we aim to please.'”

Title: Marketing Research Author: stormofsharpthings Warnings: sex? Summary: Bond discovers what Q Branch has been working on lately
“Well, well, Quinn.”
As Bond dropped the gunmetal grey box next to his laptop, Q felt a cold shudder spill down his spine. There were still a few secrets he’d managed to keep from his lover, though apparently he now had one less. “You should never have been able to access that part of the lab.”
“Mmm, so I was informed. Top Secret. I had to be quite persuasive. An interesting project though, Quinn.”
Q fought down a surge of jealousy at the thought of what that persuasion might have been. “You know that’s not my real name, it’s just a joke amongst the techs.” He crossed his arms in irritation. “Dammit, James, you were snooping! This prototype was meant to be a birthday surprise.”
“It’s certainly surprising.” Bond’s finger traced the embossed lettering lovingly. “And not at all an exploding pen, which I was rather expecting. However did you get this past the projects committee?”
Q sighed. “Given the proclivities of double-ohs, it was an easy sell as a test product. A quite unexpected way to deliver drugs or implant trackers, should the need arise.”
“The box is a bit of a giveaway, though, don’t you think? The logo is literally a Q with a tree branch entwined.”
“That’s not the final packaging! They were just having a bit of a joke!”
Bond raised an eyebrow as he opened the box, stroking a finger delicately over the contents. Q felt a twitch of reluctant arousal as he watched those so very precise fingertips linger on certain details.
“So delightfully unexpected, Q,” James purred as he picked up the creamy vellum card inside. “‘Quinn’tessential Ecstasies,” he read aloud. “Is all of Q Branch so prone to puns and in-jokes?” He smirked and dropped the card back into the box. “But don’t you think ‘We Aim To Please’ is a bit on the nose for a gun-shaped dildo?” James chuckled, picking it up and fondling it in a way that made Q’s trousers just a little more snug.
Q glared. “As if subtlety is your strong suit.”
James laughed wickedly. “I’m quite impressed with the trigger-activated vibrations. Whatever made you think of this?”
“It seemed natural, since an exploding pen is out of the question in the bedroom, and you do have a rather unhealthy attachment to your Walther.”
“It needs testing. And since you present such a tempting target, Q…”

Title: Double, Double, Toil and Trouble Author: SouffleGirl91 Warnings: None Summary: On an undercover mission, Bond considers the merits of murdering customers.
“Is the hazelnut syrup sugar-free?”
Bond bit back a sigh, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
“I’m afraid not. Only the cinnamon and vanilla syrups are sugar-free.”
It wasn’t the stupidest question in the world, but this had been going on for five minutes. Or maybe three. It felt like five hours.
First, it had been “what’s the difference between a latte and a flat white?” Which… fair enough. He’d had to quickly remember his crash course in coffee-making to bullshit an explanation without saying “the flat white is cheaper but costs more.”
Then, it was “why does the oat milk have a surcharge but the soy milk doesn’t?” prompting a lesson in the economics of non-dairy milk alternatives all the while considering drowning his customer in said soy milk.
So: not the stupidest question in the world, but quite possibly the stupidest customer.
“I’ll have a cappuccino.”
Seriously?
“Was that with soy milk?”
“Oh no, just regular milk’s fine.”
How was this his life?!
“Syrup?”
“No, thanks.”
He could feel his molars grinding with the force of his fake smile. Five minutes! For nothing!
“And what name is it?”
“Karen.”
Of course it was.
He had been stuck in this god-forsaken job for three weeks, and was seriously weighing the pros and cons of ‘accidentally’ causing an explosion. Things like that happened, right? He could probably get away with it
“No, you can’t kill her.”
Bond stifled a groan. Bad enough that he was stuck undercover as a bloody barista in Canada, without having Q in his ear all day judging his latte art and thwarting his murder plans. It turned out the Quartermaster was the bloody customer service police.
“I would never,” he muttered, too quiet for anyone else to hear. The last thing he needed was for his temporary “colleagues” to overhear him talking to thin air.
“Of course not. Just like you’d never feed your gun to a komodo dragon.”
“You know damned well that was an accident,” he whispered, sprinkling cocoa powder through a bloody maple leaf stencil. “How much longer, Q?”
Q just hummed apologetically.
Straightening his shoulders and pasting another ‘friendly’ smile on his face, Bond handed over the drink.
“Well, at least you’re generous with the cocoa.”
“Fuck you, Karen.”
“We aim to please. Enjoy your drink.”
Bond wondered whether he could talk Q into blowing the place up after all.

Title: Distraction Author: sunaddicted Warnings: none Summary: paranoia can be a healthy attitude around some people
As a rule, Q always was rather suspicious of quiet - whether that was a side effect of working in espionage or just his nature, he wasn't particularly sure but he knew better than wasting too much brainpower on such considerations. Besides, a healthy dose of paranoia always paid off if the feeling was carefully kept on a leash. Hand going to grab his taser, Q entered the bedroom and his eyes immediately zeroed in on his lovers "What are you doing?" "Who - us?" James inquired with a shiteating grin, dramatically pointing at his own chest "Man of little faith" Q gestured at Raoul, lounging against the bed post "At least he has the decency to not try to fool me" he pointed out as he relaxed in increments, tension gradually leaving his body as he made his way to the bed to sit at its foot "So?" "What makes you think we are up to anything?" The younger man batted James' hand away from his calf "You always are up to something when you're quiet: it's not like either of you" Raoul's chuckle was satiny and dark - if Q hadn't found it ridiculous to compare a sound to food, his mind would have probably come up with some kind of stupid similitude involving a rich, dark chocolate cake "We aim to please, mi querido" "That awfully sounds like an admission of guilt" "Maybe" Raoul leaned over, finger tapping the point of the other's nose just to see the way it would scrunch up at the bothersome gesture "But who says I feel guilty about any of it?" Taking advantage of Q's distraction, their lover clearly too busy - and failing at - glaring Raoul into properly confessing, James wrapped his hand around his ankle and tugged firmly, a delighted chuckle escaping his lips at the  little shriek Q let out "Let's talk about it later" he murmured, bending down to brush their lips together "There's funnier things to do" "Just tell me the place isn't gonna get swarmed by whatever international agency might be thirsting for our heads" Raoul palmed his cheek, gently turning his head to meet his eyes "I promise" Q sighed, eyes rolling even as he reached for the nape of the other's neck while he sneaked a foot between James' legs "Fine, but don't you think you can postpone this conversation for much longer" "Wouldn't dream of it"
#6
Title: Souvenirs Author: IrishWitch58 Warnings: mild BDSM themes Summary: Bond likes giving Q souvenirs of his travels.
Q examined the box squatting in the center of his desk, a cardboard enigma with a security clearance tag. The shipping label indicated it had originated from Elko, Nevada. Q closed his eyes and breathed deeply. The only agent recently conducting operations in the US was Bond. The joint operation between the CIA and MI6 focused on an information dealer selling military secrets from both Britain and the US. Bond had been pleased to be working with his old friend Felix Leiter. Q had been entertained by Bond and Leiter as the pair entered what Felix had described as a legal brothel.
Bond: “Only in America.” Bond's voice held a hint of astonishment. “All that neon makes my eyes water.”
Leiter: “Ah yes, one stop shopping for a certain type of client.”
Bond: “Felix. They have a gift shop. The souvenirs must be epic.”
Successful, Bond had returned and this had appeared. Q looked at the box reproachfully. Bond and his souvenirs. Being romantically involved with the man had only increased his penchant for gifting Q with odd objects. He carefully slit the tape and opened the flaps, prodding carefully at the packing peanuts. The first item was a six pack of seasonings and sauces intended for American style barbecue. Unusually practical. He resolved to investigate how to use them as he placed the jars on the shelf behind him and dug further. His fingers encountered a narrow object that flexed a bit as he removed it. He flushed with embarrassment although he was alone in the office as he withdrew a riding crop in a rather nice leather finish with the initials MHHP stamped on the handle in gold. He gave it an experimental swing, neatly sending a packing peanut flying. Digging produced a final item. He shook out the tee shirt, and read the logo that explained it all. 'Madame Helga's House of Pain, Barbecue Joint, and Rifle Range' was displayed across the front. The back had an image of an androgynous figure with a bullseye painted on it's pert derrière and the legend, 'We aim to please'. His phone pinged and he checked the text. Bond had sent a video which proved to be a short loop of the neon display at Madame Helga's featuring an animated dominatrix landing a crop in the center of the bullseye. The text accompaniment said, 'Care to provide a target, darling?'

Title: Timing is Everything Author: Iambid (Flantastic) Warnings: None Summary:  James needs a new hobby.
YOU'RE EARLY AGAIN, said the Grim Reaper, with a hint of surprise.
“I am?”  James asked, sounding a lot calmer than he currently felt.
He looked around himself.  He’d been in Saudi Arabia, on the trail of an assassin, when everything had gone to hell. He’d been captured, beaten, tortured and then dumped in the middle of nowhere, somewhere south of Ash Shalfa. The last thing that he remembered was lying broken and bloody in the burning desert, baking under the merciless sun.
Now it appeared he was in a wood-panelled office, not unlike the one that M used.
Except M’s had never had a skeleton dressed in a black robe sitting at its desk.  Well. As far as James knew.
YOU KEEP DOING THIS, Death said, shuffling through the thick paper file in front of him.  Her. It.  Whatever.
“I do?”  James asked, still not entirely sure he knew what was going on.
MMMMM.  AGED TEN, FELL HEAD-FIRST OUT OF A TREE.  AGED TWENTY-ONE.  GOT INTO A FIGHT ON THE HMS ALBION, PUSHED OFF THE FLIGHT-DECK INTO THE ADRIATIC SEA. AGED FORTY-TWO, SHOT OFF A NINETY-EIGHT METRE BRIDGE BY A… Death paused, bringing the page closer to their face. They seemed to squint, which wasn’t bad going for a skull … IT SAYS A ‘FRIEND’.
“That would be Moneypenny.”  James explained.
THERE ARE COUNTLESS INCIDENTS LIKE THIS.  NEED I GO ON?
“I shouldn’t think so.”  James admitted.
COME WITH ME, Death commanded.  They rose, and floated towards the door.  James obediently followed them.  The door opened and on the other side, they found themselves in a hospital room. The occupants didn’t seem to notice.
YOU SEEM TO THINK THAT RESURRECTION IS A HOBBY.  IT ISN’T.  DESPITE YOUR BEST EFFORTS, I SIMPLY CAN’T TAKE WHAT ISN’T MINE YET.
James stepped forward and saw that he was the man in the bed and the man in the chair next to him, the man pressing tearful kisses to the back of his bandaged hand, was Q.
YOU BELONG TO HIM.  HE’S WAITING FOR YOU TO LOVE HIM.  YOU’LL BE MINE ONCE YOU’VE GIVEN HIM A LONG HAPPY LIFE.
James jerked awake, his body suddenly screaming out with a hundred injuries.  He gasped but Q was there, soothing him, calming him.  He squeezed his hand and Q smiled.
“You saved me.”  He croaked.
“Smart blood.  Latest tech. We aim to please.” Q replied.

Title: The Problem With Retirement Author: Venstar Warnings: none Summary: retirement or reunion
The diner was full of quiet little noises this late at night. Silverware clinking, a pen scratching across a booklet of crossword puzzles, tired sighs of the late-night drivers, and in the corner a booth full of a tired family. Where had it all gone wrong?
The snap of chewing gum and their waitress’s voice drew him out of his musings. “Welcome to the Georgia Peach, we aim to please. What can I get you?”
“I’ll have a vodka martini. Shaken, not stirred.”
A long-suffering sigh blew out of the wide mouth that had been until then, pinched tight in annoyance. “Just coffee for him.”
The waitress was a behemoth of a working professional, much like Bond, and simply offered Q a wide smile, showing just a hint of gold at the edges. “And for his lordship?”
Bond answered for him. “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.”
“Okay, one coffee and hot tea for His Lordship.” She winked at Q and spun on her heel.
Q’s folded his hands under his chin and studied Bond for the minutes it took for their waitress to bring back a carafe of coffee, a mug of hot water on a saucer, and a pathetic excuse for a teabag.
Bond sipped at his coffee as he watched the disgust crawl across Q’s perfect, bony little face. He missed that face.
“Enough. Why am I here and why are you bleeding?”
“Am I bleeding?” Bond reached under his jacket, his fingers came away wet and red. “Huh, thought it was ketchup.”
“You’re supposed to be in the middle of Jamaica. Retired.”
“You could say that. I need your help. Madeline needs your help”
Q stared long and hard at Bond. “You’ve got a lot of nerve. Running off with her, abandoning m...MI6 taking the car-” He broke off his tirade when Bond reached forward and laid his hand on his, blood smearing along the pale skin.
Q’s eyes focused on the blood.
“I never said WE retired together. She’s been a good neighbor, a good friend. That’s all. She still had her secrets. They found her. Whoever THEY are and she needs your help.” Bond curled his fingers under and gripped Q’s hand tightly.
Q made a weak attempt to look away. His eyes stuttered back when Bond’s finger brushed across his wrist and gave an answer Q was not expecting.
“Oh, how I missed you, Q.”
#9
Title: Improvisation Author: AtoTheBean Warnings: None Summary: Turn-about is… unpleasant.
He nurses a scotch and watches the mark, Jason Abernathy, at a table in the corner.  Businessman.  Mid-40s.   On his third round, a group of beautiful people laughing at his jokes.   He’s ignoring the dance floor, despite the urging of the blonde at his table. And he’s noticed Bond watching, but hasn’t approached him. Another agent is on her way as back-up.  Perhaps she’ll be more to his taste. Bond turns the card over in his fingers  “Discreet Escorts: We aim to please!”  It’s not subtle, but it has a certain charm.  If it were just a high-end escort business, he wouldn’t be here.  But if it’s a quasi-legal front for a human trafficking ring...   “007?” R asks. Bond raises his drink to his lips.  “Hmmm?” “Change of plans.” Bond surveys the room, waiting for clarification.   It comes in the form of Q wearing skinny jeans and a tight purple shirt.   Q smiles flirtatiously and moves around Bond so his back is to the mark.  “New intel.  003 won’t be to his taste either.  We had to improvise.” “Improvise?” “Reject me,” Q whispers.  “Loudly.” Bond glances at the mark and sees his gaze fixed on Q’s arse. “You’re not what I want,” Bond shouts, pushing Q away.   One-one-thousand, two-one-thousand. “Is there a problem?” Jason asks, sliding in beside Q. Q levels a dazzling smile at him.  “No problem.  My new employer sent me to a potential client, and I’m not what he wants.” “Well, there’s no accounting for taste.  Who’s your employer?” Q hands him a card just like Bond’s. “Oh, I am.  Shall we see how well you take our motto to heart?” Jason leads Q to the dance floor.  Bond is forced to watch them “dance” for ten minutes, until it’s really just grinding and snogging.  They pass him again on the way to the loo, and Bond feels something heavy drop into his pocket. Jason’s phone. Bond moves to the door.  “I have it.” “And the drive?” R asks. “Inserting now.” Within minutes, the data has been retrieved and Q’s bug is installed.  Bond wanders back in the bar, dismayed to see Q is still missing. “He’s fine,” R assures. Bond doesn’t like it.  He heads down the hall to the loo, placing the phone on the seat the mark vacated as he passes.  The door is locked. “Stand down, 007.” He orders another drink and waits.

Title: Echoes Author: Shush_MummyWriting Warnings: None. Summary: Five + One. Bond hearing echoes.
Bond was surprised at how relaxing it was at Q’s parents’ house. It was filled with homely touches, photos of Q and his brothers through the years, plants and knick-knacks on the shelves. There was even a hand stitched frame in the downstairs bathroom that declared “In this house, we aim to please. In this room, you aim too, please!”. It felt like a home.
It was the second fitting for Bond’s latest suit. The tailor was a genius, the way he managed to conceal the gun holster. “Anything else, Mr. Bond?” he asked. “Perhaps a touch longer in the sleeve.” Bond replied. “Of course sir, we aim to please after all.” Bond smiled.
Bond was actually using his office, studying for his upcoming mission. Eve sauntered in, perched on the edge of his desk and asked, “How much do you love me?” dangling an envelope between two manicured fingers. “It depends on what that is.” said Bond, taking it. “Travel documents where I, your best friend, have managed to secure first-class tickets for your Brazil flights.” “Thank you!” said Bond, who detested long hours in cattle class. As Eve strolled out of the office, she tossed over her shoulder “We aim to please!”.
As Bond entered the R&D department, he was met with the sight of Alec, waving a brochure in the direction of Q, who appeared to be ignoring him. “Seriously Q, just have a look at these specifications. It would be an asset. And it looks awesome! Did you see the clever headline for it?” Q grabbed the brochure, exclaiming “That headline alone is reason enough NOT to buy it. What kind of company would market a rifle sight with the motto “We Aim to Please!” Seriously! Now away with you, I have work to do.” and gestured Bond forward.
Q went over each piece of equipment, saving the best for last. “This is simple, press the top three times quickly, jam it into the keyhole and step back.” Bond took it with a look of wonder “Q, you’ve made me an exploding pen!” Q’s blush was adorable as he muttered “We aim to please.”
Bond settled his breathing, sighting on his target. It should have been an impossible shot - the distance, the weather, etc but between his skill and Q's equipment, another minor government official/major crime lord met his fate. "We aim to please." Bond muttered.

Title: Flirting With the Wild Cat Author: scarytheory Warnings: angst Summary: Moneypenny has a secret.
We aim to please.
There are new documents on her desk, and she's feeling sick to her stomach.
Oh yes. We do.
*
They met when she was still a field agent.
“Miss Moneypenny.”
“Miss Galore.”
It would have been a standard honeypot mission if they didn't hate each other instantly. But there was something they needed, so they flirted, got drunk and angrily fucked on the balcony. In the end, Eve got the information and Pussy Galore didn't.
It should have ended there. But sometimes Mallory needed to contact Galore again, and Eve was the best agent for it – even after she became a secretary.
Eve honestly didn't mind; she loved a challenge, and Galore gave her just that. It was always a rush of emotions, it was hatred with a twist, a complicated game – who was better, smarter, wittier. The constant battle for dominance. Which was also a basis for incredible sex.
They started spending more time together, and suddenly they were laughing and talking about their lives. They didn't even need a mission for that – whatever that was. It didn't feel like they were enemies anymore.
Eve should have known better.
She never should have trusted her.
“You betrayed me.”
“And you are surprised, Moneypenny? This is what I do, what we do – me, you, all your agents and all my people. We aim to please, Eve. We were trained for it, we were trained to be horrible people. However, it’s our bosses we’re meant to please first and foremost. We're fucked up and you know it. There is no way you could disobey an order from M and I have my duties as well.”
“I would never use you.”  
Except she already had. But that was before the laughter, before... everything.
“Honestly, did you believe that there was some miraculous happy ending for us? We are the same and yet different; a heroine and a villain. You should be glad it’s ending only in heartbreak and not with death.” She always loved big words and big speeches.
“I hate you, Galore.”
“Oh, but you don't, darling. That's the problem.”
*
And now Eve's sitting at her desk and staring at the documents. 007 got a new job. Eliminate a target who is no longer useful to them.
Yet, there is still time to warn her.
We aim to please. Until we don't.

Title: A Pizza Pie Author: Ksan ( @starrboned-art​ ) Warnings: None Summary: Bond and Q are having a quiet afternoon together.
"James, that is not - stop that!" Q grabbed James' wrist before he could pour the sauce on the pizza dough.
"Q, that's how I’ve always made pizza." James gave his wrist an experimental wiggle, but the boffin was holding tight, eyes daring him to move.
"You need to oil the edges first," Q insisted, waving the brush and splashing oily drops everywhere.
James conceded, if only to not get his dark blue shirt stained.
"As you say, chef." James smirked, setting the hot pan aside. Q gave the dough a quick brush, nodding at James. "Now you can pour the sauce."
"Yes, chef."
"Stop it," Q said with a huff, but James spotted a quirk to his lips as he turned to the counter. A few plates laid ready with sliced vegetables and meats, all waiting to be added to the pizza.
"Just make sure that the champignons won't touch my side of the pizza." James scowled at the innocent white mushrooms.
Q gave him a smirk. "You are very particular about your food."
"I have a very particular taste," James countered with a suggestive smile. Q laughed, turning to put the pizza into the oven. James managed to steal a few sliced cherry tomatoes from Q's pile before he got caught.
"Go get the wine," Q said, "I'll get the glasses."
"So bossy today," James smirked, ruffling Q's curls. He escaped into the sunlit living room before Q could swat at him with a towel.
It was late noon on a Saturday, and for once none of them had any world-dooming emergencies to solve. The cats were basking in the late sun, the curtains swayed slightly as the evening breeze blew through the open windows.
James opened a red shiraz with a pop. With the wine ready on the table, he closed his eyes for a moment, listening to the quiet rustle Q made in the kitchen.
"Double-o agent, falling asleep?" Q's hand snuck around his waist, chin peeking over his shoulder.
"Before dinner?! You know agents, Q - we aim to please," James turned, kissing Q's smile. He had tomato sauce on his cheek, which James licked (to Q's astonished laughter).
"Pleasing will have to wait for later," Q purred, shoving the wine glasses at James. "What should we toast to?"
James swirled his wine, a habit born out of years of fine dining.
"To more sunny afternoons together."

Title: game Author: azure7539 Warnings: canon typical violence
Summary: Hide and seek as usual, but it's interesting all the same. Just another day at work.
-
Nausea roils like a particularly stormy sea in the midst of a hurricane, and all he can hear is the whistling of his own breathing as his throat wheezes around air before it rattles into his ribcage and never truly fills up those burning lungs.
He’s been running for so long, he can no longer feel the screaming in his feet.
The throng of people felt like a good idea at first, a thick crowd celebrating some local holiday, but now every face seems suspicious, every pair of eyes lingering on just a tad too long. The enemies can be anywhere, can be anyone.
Vertigo dips his world as he crashes into a phone booth, thinking, assuming, he’s managed to put decent distance between him and his chasers, spare change clinking as the coins spill from his shaking hands.
Fuck. Fuck, what’s the number again…
Eight, five, three, two—
The line rings. Once. Twice.
“Hello,” a posh voice he’s never heard before picks up, nonchalant and indifferent. “Identification, please.”
“S-SPCTR-6304,” he nearly trips on his own tongue saying the words.
“One moment.” Soft typing filters through, the calmness perforating through the mad chaos in his mind. But adrenaline licks at his heels—he’s finally standing still long enough to feel the way how wracking tremors are seizing up his overtaxed muscles—and he wants to scream and vibrate out of his skin.
His instincts are shouting at him to start running again, to keep at it until he finds a trustworthy point of contact, something more than just another voice on the other side of a line.
But that’s the thing. This ‘voice on the other side of a line’ is one of his last remaining trustworthy points of contact. The rest are just… gone.
Someone shrieks from over where the people have gathered at the end of the alley, and he’s one hair’s breadth away from slamming back into the wall.
His heart is beating too fast.
“Ah, Mr Roswell. Good to hear from you again,” the person says, pleasantly. A pause. “Did you enjoy your final game?”
“What—”
“At MI6, we aim to please, after all,” the voice drops into a low baritone. Dangerous.
Like the monsters of his nightmares culminating into one singular point of existence.
The last thing he sees before life drains from him are twin pools of glacier. As blue and unreachable as the sky above.

Ambient Assisted Living and Smart Home Market Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2030
Tumblr media
Ambient assisted living and smart homes provide a comfortable standard of living. Ambient assisted living refers to the assistance of technology, electronic systems, products and services which guide and uplift the daily lives of people who need support and help those who demand a better and improved standard of living. This concept is comparatively new in the information, communications and technology sector which helps the daily life of people especially the elderly for independent and monitored living. Smart homes refer to automation of homes which are equipped with information and computing technology devices which respond to the owners’ requirement in a much more efficient manner. Smart homes control and monitor air conditioning and security systems, lighting, and home appliances such as ovens, dryers, refrigerators and others, ventilation, control of heating and others with the help of Wi-Fi and internet of things.

Request A Sample Copy Of The Report https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=26777
In developed countries such as North America and Europe, the old age dependency ratio, which is the number of elderly population with respect to the working population is rising. This demographic change is being recognized and the problem is increasingly being addressed both from the societal and economic point of view. To support the aging population, governments of these developed nations have prioritized ambient assisted living and smart homes to enable the aging population to live longer, healthier, and active and remain socially connected. This factor is expected to majorly drive the growth trajectories of the global ambient assisted and smart home market. Further, increasing mobility allowing more people to get connected with electronic devices and gadgets in their homes coupled with increasing consumer acceptance to use these features (which is in turn supported by a higher purchasing power, are some of the major factors projected to help drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. The ease of monitoring and controlling home appliances with improved efficiency and at any point of time will increase consumers’ acceptance to use ambient assisted living and smart homes and therefore push the growth of the market. Advent of internet of things coupled with drop in prices of Wi-Fi routers are also likely to help drive the growth of the market.

Based on region, the global ambient assisted living and smart home market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. North America followed by Europe is expected to have considerable market share owing to a large aging population base. Further, these two developed countries are technologically advanced and have higher purchasing power, enabling an increasing facilitation of ambient assisted living and smart home services. However, Asia Pacific is expected to expand with the highest CAGR owing to improved standard of living and purchasing power of the population which has helped in improving the acceptance of the population for ambient assisted living and smart home services. Asia Pacific has also been witnessing a technological revolution coupled with cheap labor, enabling large scale companies to set up their production base in this region.

Tech Gadgets For Sport Gurus - Psst...That’s You!
Author:  Helga Barkhuizen
The rapid development of technology coincides with the epidemic of diseases as related to the lack of movement.  Looking at screens all day while sitting down is awful for your body and mind. To make things worse, befriending the displays continue at home with playing games, binge-watching favorite TV shows and there are way too many situations in which technology makes us passive.
Use technology to your advantage
Technology doesn't have to be the bad guy. After all, it's the way we consume new products and services, it’s not the tech itself that is the problem. What if we could use nifty new gadgets and remain focused on an active lifestyle? Why not enhance your sporting efforts with the help of smart tech?
Before ditching all your devices and going old-school on a hiking trip, check out these ten ways technology can enhance your outdoor activities.
1. Smartphone Fitness Apps
Mobile apps have provided consumers with new levels of control when it comes to interacting with a number of industries, from finance, to retail, to hospitality. This also extends to sports and healthcare, but what is 'mHealth' really?
It's the growing trend of using smartphones, mobile devices, and mobile apps for medical and healthcare purposes.
For outdoor sports lovers this is seconded by The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through a statement on its website: “The FDA encourages the development of mobile medical apps that improve healthcare and provide consumers and healthcare professionals with valuable health information. Mobile applications can help people manage their own health and wellness, promote healthy living, and gain access to useful information when and where they need it.”
Our consumers seem to be seeking those apps with healthy living in mind and what do you know - that's exactly why we're telling you about it. :)  A NYU Lagone Medical Center survey found that of those who downloaded mobile health apps on a smartphone, about:
52% said they downloaded health apps to track physical activity
47% to track what they ate
46% to lose weight
34% to learn exercises.
Those goals are reflected in the US top mHealth and health app categories, that includes weight loss, exercise, fitness and women’s health. Health apps on smartphones, mobile devices, 'wearables', and fitness trackers have become an ideal way for people to benefit from mHealth by collecting personal health data that is easy to understand.
2. Smart Bracelet
If you are a bit more dedicated to an active lifestyle and can't handle a week without going out, a significant upgrade from a smartphone level of fitness support comes in the form of a smart bracelet. When escaping the urban jungle, many outdoor enthusiasts don't want to look at the smartphone. It reminds them of what they're trying to leave behind.
Here are some advantages for getting a Smart Bracelet:
1.  They don't just tell the time
2.  It's a travel buddy on your wrist
3.  Finding a phone is a thing of the past (pair 'Find my Phone' with your watch to eliminate ever losing it again)
4.  Works as a great fitness tracker
5.  You can reply to messages and receive phone calls instantly
6.  You can sync your Social Media notifications
7.  It keeps you connected longer than your phone
8.  Entertainment never sleeps - play music straight from it.
If you are looking for this stylish piece of wearable tech, check this list before getting one.
3. Smartwatch
Having cool apps on your wrist may be a great idea, but most smartwatch features are dedicated to activity. Sure, they can handle notifications, being able to receive calls and play music, but the list of professional sports options could blow your mind. Professional athletes, college fitness programs and sporting enthusiast all use some form of smartwatch on the market.
Brands like FitBit and Garmin have advanced features like
-  wrist-based heart rate
-  oxygen level measurements
-  activity tracking through GPS
-  GLONASS support and
-  integrated maps and altitude indicators.
Based on the above sensors can deliver detailed reports on your performance when hiking, skating or surfing or any of our other fun outdoor activities.
There are also specific profiles for different sports like swimming, skiing or paddle sports. Now you can brag with detailed proof of your achievements tracking distance, pace and stroke count (swimmers) or track speed, distance, and vertical drop for all you skiers out there.
Also included is the altimeter power tool that provides precise ascent and descent data on mountainous terrain.
The list of advanced features goes on, but these are the ones that focus on performance and can help you become better at what you do.
To help you out, we will be selling some of said smart watches.  Keep a look out for your favourite, coming soon.
4. Action Cameras
For more adrenaline- based sports and activities, action cameras are an essential addition. Whether you are on ski's going downhill, or cycling through the woods, trekking over the rocky-mountains or enjoying water sports, action cam's will alalways (with the exception of you not switching it on) deliver unforgettable footage, every time.
The thing to look for when buying is an appropriate carrier for your kind of sport. It could be unpleasant to buy the best camera just to learn that there's no way you can attach it on your helmet. Can we say 'Dumbo'?
Just like wearable tech, most action cameras are waterproof. The king of this category is undeniably the 'GoPro Hero 7 Black'. It has stunning 4K video at 60fps with excellent picture stabilization. There is no better way to get great footage of your sporting success or wipe outs. Haha If you are a tech savant and want to motivate others to pick up some sport, you can stream your training with a little help of a smartphone.
5. Bluetooth Headphones
Some sport amateurs and enthusiasts enjoy ambient sounds of nature. If you are among athletes that are motivated by music, the perfect addition to your sporting gear could be headphones. With Bluetooth 5.1 technology your in for something off the charts!
Whether you wear them in or over the ear, a Bluetooth headset a an optimal solution for music motivated performers. Some headphones have storage integrated, but most likely you will need a source of music i.e. your phone nearby.
A good choice to consider is the 'Garmin Forerunner 645 Music' smartwatch, or smartphone where there are more streaming services options. Sound quality and battery should be the main concerns when choosing optimal sport headphones.
6. Capture The Moment
In less intensive sport or recreational activities, action cameras are overkill. If you explore Milford Sound trails, not taking pictures would almost be a crime. For the best quality, photos of DSLR cameras are still on top of their and ultimately your game.
The downside is in their weight and size, which can seriously slow you down. A good alternative are hybrid mirror-less cameras that have comparable picture quality in smaller form factor.
The best ratio between practicality and quality again come in the form of a smartphone. If you have an expensive flagship mobile phone, the pictures will, in outdoor conditions with good light, most likely be acceptable to excellent quality.
You can take a quick snap and immediately share it on social media or your instant messaging Ski/Snowboard group.
7. Intelligent Hydration Cup
With the development of IoT products (what the hell is IoT? Yeah, we said the same thing:  Internet of Things), even the water bottle is getting smart!  Imagine that.
The Intelligent Bottle/Cup is the new trend that reminds you to hydrate while practicing. These products need a connection with a smartphone and will track your activity and remind you when it is time for another sip.
This product category might seem like surrendering the basic instinct and common sense to technology, but on the other hand, could come in handy if you forget to drink water during strenuous exercise or just being lazy in general.  You're welcome!
8. Electric Connected Bicycle
Cycling is one of the most popular and among healthier activities. With an electric and connected bicycle, it can become much more fun. Recently introduced Greyp G6 bike has five levels of assistance from its electrical motor which can be used for overcoming difficult terrain.
This way less conditioned recreational biker can master difficult paths.  You still have to work for it and paddle hard though. What makes this and similar products great are the smart features. The bike captures the force you use while pedaling, monitors your heart rate and has almost high-end car infotainment options.
With integrated maps and a bunch of sensors, the bike will show you the range and optimal routes. You can compare your driving data with others on the same platform and you can record your drive with one of two integrated cameras.
9. Smart Shoes
Like smart bracelets and smartwatches, smart shoes have integrated sensors that gather and transmit relevant data. The idea is to have all the information you need to improve your performance.
Some of the sensors that help the shoe to monitor the performance are an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. Some manufacturers use pressure sensors, environmental sensors, and satellite navigation.
Unlike smartwatches and bracelets, the report can't be seen on the shoe;  that'll just be silly! Shoes are connected via Bluetooth to a fitness app on your phone or laptop.  The metrics are reasonably accurate, and most manufacturers have dedicated fitness app that goes with the product.
The main competitors in this area are Nike, Under Armour, Xiaomi, and Digitsole. The downside could be charging the shoes, and for some brands, you'll need to power them every day.
10.Smart Scale
Okay, okay, you probably won't be carrying a smart scale on an outdoor trip, but we know that for some those dreaded numbers on a scale are more important than those on a measuring tape.  
With the number of health issues that derive from weight concerns we are all about being healthy.  I mean don't the phrases 'early death' due to 'heart disease', 'a stroke', 'type 2 diabetes' or 'cancer' give you the heeby-geebies?  While we know you have to change your entire lifestyle, not just one thing, to life a healthy life, weight loss is definitely a great part of it.  Enter = bathroom scale.
A smart body scale is an electronic bathroom scale that measures weight and other body composition metrics which then sends them wirelessly to an app or online service that automatically records the data.
Those other metrics generally include body fat, body water, and often body mass index (BMI). Some of the metrics are readings while others, like BMI, are estimates based on calculations that take into consideration height and sex, too.
Benefits:
1.  You don't have to look.  It'll still record the necessary.
2.  Pregnancy & post-pregnancy weight tracking is so much easier
3.  They can improve your good habits, keeping you (and your kids) motivated.
4.  They typically pair with fitness trackers.
Go Out and Play
Whatever your thing is, running, swimming, diving, cycling, trekking or hiking, there are smart tech products that can give you a boost in motivation, track your progress and help with suggestions on how to improve yourself.  With or without tech gadgets, the most important thing is to break a sweat and get away from the business frenzy, congested traffic environment and enjoy.
Exercise releases endorphins, reducing stress levels and is that magic ingredient all of us seek to be a little bit happier.
The idea is to get better results and have more fun while you remain focused on your fitness goal, so get out, get active and smile while you're busy doing it!  We promise, it will make your or someone else's day (;)) that much better!
