How local OTT players fare in the midst of Amazon-Netflix war game
With two global players trying to carve out space in the nascent OTT sector there's little to no doubt that the local players will surely be strategizing their moves for their users. A look at their performance and the future
Published - Dec 26, 2016 8:08 AM Updated: Dec 26, 2016 8:08 AM
On December 14, Seattle-based e-commerce giant Amazon introduced to its Amazon Prime subscribers and other potential users its Prime Video service with announcement of nine original series with its aggressive price point of Rs 499 per year. Though a number is not available on its curated library, but the numerous tie-ups with renowned production houses including Dharma Productions, Vishesh Films and T-Series gives us a fair idea. Next day global streaming service Netflix (which entered the market this January) announced its first tie-up with Indian production house Red Chillies Entertainment (RCE). This association will bring all the latest movies starring actor Shah Rukh Khan exclusively to more than 86 million members globally. With two global players trying to carve out space in the nascent OTT sector there's little to no doubt that the local players will surely be strategizing their moves for their users.
Rajiv Dingra, Founder & CEO, WATConsult definitely feels Amazon's entry has definitely made the local players sit up, "When a player like Amazon comes in with cut throat pricing it will make the other players sit up and take notice but these are short term measures. Longer game is one of good exclusive content and who can bring it to their platform earlier."
Amazon Prime Video is definitely among the cheapest of OTT services in India along with Zee'S Ditto TV. Netflix's subscription rates start from Rs 500 and go up to Rs 800 a month. Spuul (Rs 150 a month), Eros Now (Rs 49 and Rs 99 a month) and Hotstar (Rs 199 a month) offer some content for free; premium content is charged. Then there are ad driven players like Sony LIV and Voot among others. Are there chances of leading to a price war? Dingra doesn't think so, "Maybe not a price war just yet. But it will certainly expand the market and get more users paying for OTT which is a great sign for the segment."
The local players are working on their game to increase its user base. As Gaurav Gandhi, COO, Viacom18 Digital Ventures puts it, all of them have different positioning. He explains, "All the large players are coming in with differentiated content. We are offering content from television, originals and kids. Hotstar brings in their content and sports. On the other hand Netflix brings in international content and their originals. From entry point of view we welcome all the players as it only helps to expand the market.
Where each stands out
Star India's premium streaming platform Hotstar with 130 million downloads already has the edge with its sports content through its innovation on live sports streaming that includes coverage of Vivo IPL 2016, Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Premier League football and Kabaddi World Cup on Virtual Reality. Apart from that it also has the latest movies and popular programs which includes shows like 'Game of Thrones', 'Westworld', 'Veep' and 'American Crime Story,' available exclusively in India on Hotstar. To add to it, for its services to Apple as an over-the-top content (OTT) platform, it was named as Apple TV's app of the year for India in 2016.
According to media reports DittoTV had reported that its partnerships with various telecom operators and low subscription pricing are helping it to increase its penetration and user base. It claims to have six million downloads and a user base of three million.
Meanwhile, Eros Now is going steady with over 55 million users which constitutes of 2 million paid subscribers. It has deals with major telecom operators in India including Reliance Jio, Idea and Vodafone which attributes to this growth. Its recent tie-up with Vodafone Play allows the latter's subscribers to watch Eros Now's library of more than 14,000 titles. According to media reports it has deals with 16 telecom operators and OEMs internationally.
Spuul, the digital video-on-demand (VOD) platform for Indian mainstream Hindi and regional content is also growing at a steady rate with18 million active users now and over seven lakh paid subscriptions per month. It has tied up with telecoms and digital wallets to provide an option of sachet pricing for smooth overall user experience. On the content front, it introduced a tiny download feature (which allows users to download an entire movie in less than 60mb) and adding blockbusters within just a couple of months of their release.
Spuul India CEO Rajiv Vaidya talks about its reception, "The tiny download feature has been a great hit. Having said that, consumption on our big screen apps – Android TV & Apple TV – has shot up, especially this holiday season, with the addition of some of the biggest blockbusters from last year and this year. We just released a Spuul app for Roku devices, after multiple queries that came in from our diaspora audience."
He adds, "Spuul stands out from the competition in various aspects. A clean, user friendly UI and our deliberate choke on advertisements makes the service one that users keep coming back to. To facilitate offline viewing, Spuul pioneered the offline sync feature, which enables the user to download the movie of his choice onto his mobile device, to be viewed in low network zones or when travelling. An adaptive bit rate allows the users' device to automatically adjust the stream quality of the movie according to his internet signal strength."
Sony Liv, the Video On Demand (VOD) platform under Sony Pictures Network India with 27 million downloads so far, have been strengthening their content with expansion to kids with LIV Kids, sports (Copa America, UEFA Euro 2016 and Super Fight League among others) and original content offering.
Uday Sodhi, Executive Vice President & Head-Digital, Sony Pictures Networks, tells us how do they set apart, "We have a strong content portfolio. We have got the best sports portfolio in the country. We have amazing range of live television and movies. From portfolio perspective we are most complete people. We have a huge head-start over anybody else."
Viacom18's Voot is going strong with 15 million monthly users, 50 minutes spent by a user on an average every day and a watch time of 1.2+ billion minutes a month. Gandhi says, "Our strategy is very clear. We are saying we are the house of exclusive content from Viacom18 but we don't stop there. We build property around TV shows. For instance with 'Big Boss' we have 'Unseen Undekha.' We do original content around our shows itself. Then we have Voot Originals where we had great success with three of them particularly, 'It's Not That Simple' and 'Shaadi Boys.' At this point we are the largest creator of digital content this year. Then we have the Kids play where we upped our game from 70 characters during launch to 220 characters. We continue to build and strengthen that. We are going multilingual in that as well. So we are clear on the three pillars of success and we are going to build on that. We have been voted the best app on Android for 2016
He talks about its differentiating factor, "Voot is one of the largest video destinations in the country right now, in terms of volume. Voot has also differentiated with majority of content being exclusive. We want to be a product that people watch daily. We have 95 advertisers across categories like FMCG, telecom, consumer durables and automobile on board which is going to touch 100 by end of this month. We have brands coming to us for branded content as well as sponsorship. For our upcoming show 'Untagged' we have Motorola as our partner."
Future of OTT market
From the looks of it the co-existence of local and international player, each with their differentiated positioning and diverse content, will happen seamlessly. And, the OTT segment will continue to expand, given the increasing number of users and competitive internet plans.
Vaidya explains it further, "The market for OTT players providing video-on-demand (VoD) services is becoming one of the fastest growing markets today. The active OTT VoD subscribers in India are expected to increase from 12 million in 2014 to 105 million by 2020, according to a Media Partners Asia report."
He goes on talk about the increasing video consumption and the tremendous growth potential for high speed mobile data growth, "The market potential for online content viewing is huge. Mobile data traffic grew 50 per cent in 2015, driven by 85 percent surge in 3G data traffic. This growth is largely on the back of surging consumption of videos, with approximately 40 per cent of mobile data traffic being driven by video and audio consumption. Despite this growth, 3G device penetration in India is still at 32 per cent in 2016 and of these only 38 per cent have 3G connections, indicating the tremendous growth potential for high speed mobile data growth. Broader adoption of 4G in 2016 is expected to provide further impetus to video consumption on smartphones and mobile networks. Content will decide the success of the OTT players."
Sodhi stresses on the expanding OTT market, "Market has 150 odd million connected devices. It will touch 300-400 million in the next few years. Once that happens market is going to expand rapidly. Mobile video is probably the fastest growing segment within the content consumption and the advertising space. We are seeing significant growth and assured to be in this for the long run."
Dingra on the other hand, believes OTT's growth will not be bringing in large numbers despite its rapid growth in the short term, "I think OTT is the future of televised or TV like content consumption and is here to stay. Though its growth in India will be rapid in the short term it won't be having large numbers but cumulatively it could grow to be as 10 million paying users in India over the next three years. It does become a great audience pool of premium audiences for marketers."For more updates, be socially connected with us on

Windhorse Tibetan Prayer Flags
Windhorse Tibetan Prayer Flags
Hand block printed Tibetan Windhorse prayer flag set of 25.
Windhorse prayer flags are traditionally hung by Tibetans in high places to catch the wind so that the prayer will be carried out to bless all sentient beings. The prayer is intended to bring blessings and good fortune to the world and translates as:
"May the rain fall at the proper time. May the crops and livestock be bountiful. May there be freedom from illness, famine and war. May all beings be well and happy".
There are 5 different colors representing 5 primary elements:
Blue: sky White: air Red: fire Green: water Yellow: earth.
These prayer flag sets come with a card denoting the most auspicious and inauspicious days to hang these according to the Tibetan calendar.
Auspicious days for hanging prayer flags in 2017:
01/06, 01/07, 1/22, 02/04, 02/06, 03/09, 03/12, 03/23, 04/06, 04/21, 05/05, 05/21, 06/04, 06/09, 06/26, 07/19, 07/27, 08/02, 08/07, 08/17, 08/31, 09/04, 09/15, 09/30, 10/10, 11/13, 11/28, 12/02, 12/12, 12/28

Generally, Monday is a good day to hang prayer flags and Friday is a very good day.
These prayer flags are brought to us by Ganesh Himal Trading Co, a long standing member of the Fair Trade Federation. Ganesh Himal imports directly from small cottage industries in Nepal, including development projects working to improve the lives of Tibetan refugees and women. In 2014, the Ganesh Himal Trading Co family founded the Conscious Connections Foundation. CCF is a 501c3 dedicated to facilitating the advancement of marginalized individuals in Nepal and around the world, by promoting access to education, health-care, skills development and facilities improvement so that people can create strong, vibrant, economically viable communities. CCF's main projects have been promoting girls education in Nepal through our Power of 5 program, providing continued staffing for the Baseri Clinic and developing a menstrual pad project. Then on April 25, 2015 after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake destroyed the Baseri clinic and many of the villages of producers in Nepal the focus of CCF quickly changed to disaster relief. This disaster relief will be ongoing as we stand beside our many friends in Nepal and help them to rebuild their lives.

Industry 4.0
From an industrial perspective; namely imaging and spectroscopy, photonics represents a driver for productivity for companies which introduce these new technologies in their manufacturing and production process.
It facilitates both an increase in production speeds by smoothing global industrial processes and by replacing isolating solutions, and also an increase in production reliability by introducing non-invasive, real-time inspection solutions that can be integrated within inspection loops in industrial processes.
Reliability achieved by this aspect of photonics increases end consumer safety, ensures compliance and reduces environmental impacts (treatment and analysis of waste and industrial effluents).
• Quality control in production lines
• Ripeness checks for fruit/vegetables
• Parts manufacturing
• Online process monitoring

A year in, how's the Affordable Care Act doing? That's the question a team of Times reporters has examined in a series of stories and charts running today.
Next month, the Affordable Care Act's second year of open enrollment will begin, and with it an appropriate focus on the operational performance of Healthcare.gov and state marketplaces. But over the long term, the law will be judged not on whether its computer systems were buggy but whether it delivered on its key promises to make health care more available and affordable for individuals and the government.
Here are some of the key questions I'll be asking in the next year and years ahead: Are more people getting health insurance? Is the coverage affordable and useful to people? Is public health improving? Are people experiencing less medical debt and bankruptcies? Are the marketplaces working? Are health care companies surviving? Is health care spending growing at a sustainable rate — for the economy and the federal budget?
In many frustrating ways, it's still early to deliver clear judgments on all of these questions. But the data have already provided some preliminary answers. The number of Americans without insurance has declined. The insurance marketplaces are largely functioning, with consumers choosing from competing health plans. Health care industries, as a group, look to be thriving in the new environment, though there are clearly winners and losers in the reshaped markets for insurance and medical care. The rate of growth in health care spending has moderated — though the Affordable Care Act is at best a bit player in that welcome development.
There's a lot we still don't know. Principally, there's no good way (yet) to measure the law's impact on the public's actual health. It's still too soon to know the law's effect on Americans' financial security. And there are still many eligible people who are not availing themselves of the law's new benefits, either because of a lack of knowledge, an inability to afford insurance, political opposition to the law or individual states' decisions not to expand Medicaid to their low-income residents. (The package includes a series of profiles of individuals who interacted with the law — some in these categories, some who are delighted by their new insurance coverage, and others who welcome it with reservations.)
The stories today reflect what we can measure now. There will be new useful data in the months ahead. In early November, we'll know the prices of health plans and the number of competitors in every market in the country. That will tell us a lot more about how well the marketplaces are functioning. In a few months, we'll get government surveys that tell us with much more precision who exactly got insurance in the Affordable Care Act's first year and what kind of insurance they bought. The year ahead will also tell us more about what's happening in the employer insurance market, where new rules are coming online in January, and surveys will begin to capture how the first year of the marketplace changed companies' behavior.
My colleague Abby Goodnough predicts smoother sailing for the exchange websites this time around, compared with last year's problematic launch. But there is inevitable turbulence ahead that is likely to generate a lot of attention, even if it matters little beyond the short term. Over the long term, keep your eye on these larger questions about the Affordable Care Act's performance. They will tell you more about whether the law has been well designed and is offering the country what it wants and needs.

NEW ORLEANS — After protesters clashed violently with the police inside and outside the New Orleans City Council chambers on Thursday, the council voted unanimously to allow the federal government to demolish 4,500 apartments in the four biggest public housing projects in the city.
But the council also called on the Department of Housing and Urban Development to reopen some apartments in the closed projects immediately, and to rebuild all of the public-housing units that it bulldozes. The agency plans to replace barracks-style projects, known as "the bricks," with mixed-income developments.
"We need affordable housing in this city," said Shelley Stephenson Midura, who proposed the resolution adopted by the council. But, she continued, "public housing ought not to be the warehouse for the poor."
Advocates for public housing residents contend that the agency's plan will not provide enough housing for the 3,000 families who lived in the projects before Hurricane Katrina, almost all of whom were black. Many of them have not been able to return to the city, and some protesters say they are being deliberately excluded from New Orleans.
"The issue is and the question remains, who's in the mix," said Torin T. Sanders, pastor of the Sixth Baptist Church, referring to the plan for mixed-income housing. He and other speakers at the four-hour hearing that preceded the vote said that previous redevelopment efforts had shut out most public housing residents.Continue reading the main story
The city's shortage of low-cost housing is only going to get worse in the coming months, as the federal government tries to move more than 30,000 people out of government-owned trailers, said Courtney Cowart, strategic director of disaster response for the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana.
But representatives of the residents' councils at three projects spoke earlier in the hearing, describing the poor conditions at the complexes before the storm and expressing their support for the new plans. "It's about being able to walk into a house and say this is a house, not a project," said Donna Johnigan, a resident at the B.W. Cooper Apartments, which the government began to demolish last week.
The future of public housing in the city has been a subject of passionate debate in this storm-scarred city, involving race, money, history, the right to return — and who gets to make the decisions.
That the three blacks and four whites on the council joined to support the demolitions seemed to echo a widely held feeling here, crossing racial lines, that the old housing projects were deeply dysfunctional, both for their residents and for the people who lived around them.
Mistrust of the government was voiced by many of the speakers who opposed the demolitions, while supporters said most of the protesters were outsiders who did not live in New Orleans, much less in the four housing projects.
Police officers on foot and horseback tried to keep protesters out of the council chambers once all the seats were filled. Demonstrators tried to push through some iron gates to get into the chambers when the police used what appeared to be pepper spray and stun guns; at least two demonstrators needed medical treatment.
There was also a brief fight inside the chambers and the police ejected some demonstrators. About 15 protesters were arrested, the police said, mostly on charges of disturbing the peace.Continue reading the main story

Ports of call
Nice, St. Tropez, Cannes, Corsica, Villefranche
Essaouira, Casablanca, Safi, Agadir
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Martinique, Dominica, Nevis and Antigua, St. Maarten
Civitavecchia, Porto Venere, Rome, Elba, Sardinia
Fuerteventura, Las Palmas

Cape Verde Islands
Students join the ship in early September in Nice, France. Using the last warm weeks of the northern summer, we wind through French, Italian, and Spanish Mediterranean coastal towns. With frequent stops in ports along the way students are able to acclimate with the ship. After passing through Gibraltar, we sail down the Morocco coast then to the Canary Islands and the Cape Verdes. The biggest leg of the voyage is the 2,200 nautical mile crossing of the Atlantic from the Cape Verdes to the West Indies.
The students will learn, while experiencing first-hand, relevant subject matter. For example, what creates the trade winds which are driving our sailing ship? And, how have they impacted human history? The final weeks of the voyage will be spent exploring the delightful tropical islands of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean before the students fly home from St. Maarten.

The brief was to redesign the entire ground floor of this beautiful Victorian terrace. We moved the kitchen from the rear into the original double reception room space at the front to create the new eat-in family kitchen.
Highlights include a bespoke kitchen design in moody green with pops of marble and plaster pink. A built in dining bench with storage beneath, black steel doors and internal windows and a log burner.

Matt Davis has a bone to pick with the Powers That Be over on Vampire Diaries: Why are Stefan and Elena the only ones gettin' it on?!
"Good ol' Alaric definitely needs to get laid," he tells us of the always brooding, erstwhile widower. Of course, we couldn't agree more—especially if it means more Matt, more shirtless!
There really is some cra-zay stuff ahead on The Vampire Diaries, including what sounds like a guaranteed season two for Alaric in Mystic Falls (which—whoo-hoo!—our sources confirmed earlier this week!)...
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty. As we reported in this week's Spoiler Chat, if you're hoping for more Alaric in TVD's second season, you might want to do a little happy dance starting...now!
"There has been talk and all signs look good," Matt says vaguely. "[But] nothing is 100 percent. The show is like Survivor—you keep delivering and hope they'll still write for you."
That may not sound like a definite yes, but Matt accidentally spilled a whole lotta beans when chatting about his plans to "get ready for next season" this summer. "It's such a grinding schedule—keeps going and going and going and going," he says. "It's really like training for a triathlon, where you just get your focus up and your endurance ready. I look forward to spending my time off getting prepared, physically and mentally." If that's not a big fat yes, we don't know what is.
Oh, and about that "X-rated" stuff, that's all Matt. According to him, Alaric is in the market for a good ol'-fashioned romp in the sack. And while we eagerly volunteered for the role of sack-romperette, Matt's got it handled. "I'm just hoping Kevin Williamson will write a sex scene between me and Sara Canning (Jenna)."
No, seriously. "Tune in to see wild, nasty sex scenes with Alaric and Jenna. X-rated," jokes Matt.
And what happens when his wayward vampy wife, Isobel, returns? It's not pretty. "We decided that the best way to reconcile them is a ménage à trois," Matt jokes...again. (Wow, is it just us or is this guy seriously...never mind.) "No, it's shocking. To see this missing wife of his after so long. Not only is it shocking, but those moments never go the way you expect them to."
"His whole life changed when she vanished," he says, "and he's been searching for her ever since. [To] finally confront the thing he's been looking for? That would turn your life upside down, and it will definitely be a big moment for Alaric."
Long story short, Matt wants there to be more sex on The Vampire Diaries, he wants to be the one sexing people up, and he's got some ladies in mind. The line starts here, missies.
Are you excited to see Isobel's return on The Vampire Diaries? Don't miss the rest of the season, Thursdays at 8 p.m. on the CW.

The blogging www.pca.adm.br trend has started to build companies see the potential benefits of corporate blogging and site-building. They all consent that sites achieve a mass media effect throughout the high level of networking inside the blogosphere in which news disseminates very speedily. The blogosphere (online community of sites and their writings) has heralded a new connection tool that can influence general population opinion of an company. However , companies are gradual to respond to the developing credibility of corporate sites as connection channels.
A recent list of Good fortune 500 enterprise blogs demonstrates that only five per cent of the United States' corporations have joined up with the running a blog arena. Companies are treading this still unfamiliar territory with caution and skepticism. Provider executives, public relations people and legal industry professionals are just beginning to figure out how they will utilize the potential of business blogs not having subjecting themselves especially their particular companies to possible problems. Indeed, a few companies are not wanting to plunge in the 'scary' associated with blogging to get fear of coming across legal and business dangers inherent in blogging such as libel, slander, lawsuits and disclosure of confidential and proprietary data.
Despite the dread, some market leaders just like Microsoft, IBM, Sun Microsystems and Standard Motors, to name a few, have dove headlong into corporate running a blog. These companies know that a blog is a great immensely effective yet affordable way to increase corporate communications and promoting objectives as well as connect with consumers and prospective customers.
Basically, a blog (short for weblog) is produced with simple to use software that enables a blogger (blog author) to create and update blog web pages from which they can express his thoughts on a certain subject. Created article over a blog is called a 'post' and can be linked to other weblogs, websites, media features, picture images and audio files. Backlinks added to the written text of blog posts allow blog content to always be indexed and accessed simply by popular search engines such as Technorati and then displayed in the world wide web.
A corporate blog page makes it easy for readers, be they customers or prospects, to obtain the latest and the most accurate info on its new items and companies. It can help attain customer understanding of the company goods and services. Through the business blog, a corporation can converse directly with customers and prospects. Two-way communication makes trust and builds customer relationships. A company blog may be the perfect decision for interacting with existing and potential clients. Corporate blogging serves as a funnel for a firm and its buyers to meet about common perspective and to understand each other more. A corporate weblog allows a corporation to tightly track exactly where and within what condition its products or services happen to be being talked about online. Throughout the corporate blog page, a company can keep an hearing to the floor to hear precisely what is being said about the organization and speaking up if the situation demands it. An even more personal or understated benefit of a corporate blog page is that it offers a human facial area to a perceived faceless and detached business entity. A company blog conjures images of people who are interested in their products or perhaps services and are also eager to activate customers and prospects.
It is just a risky globe out there and the blogosphere is not a exception. With regards to companies so, who are thinking of on setting out into the regarding corporate running a blog, it is within your best interests to obtain knowledge of some basic dos and don'ts of corporate blog.
First around the agenda is certainly do determine whether your company needs a business blog. A blog might be inappropriate for your company. Only a few corporate ethnicities can tolerate the wide open, direct communication inherent to generate a corporate blog successful. You will discover instances in which blogs could not be reconciled with business practices and regulations. Plainly, there are risks to consider. Risks are situated mainly in the content and the character or perhaps tone of comments which in turn admittedly can simply be censored to a limited degree.
If the corporate blog can in shape your company lifestyle, selecting the victim or worker who will publish your blog is normally doubtless to talk about the most important decision. An ideal corporate and business blogger is definitely one who can be an expert in the field. He should also write with interest and sincerity. The object of your blog should be to engage your clients and prospective customers in chat and the best approach to start a conversation is to be sincere and honest in your blog even though writing about subject areas that are crucial that you your company. This individual should have good writing skills. More importantly, he should be person that is respected by his peers and reacts steadly to outbursts. Blogging is definitely an intense channel. The individuals who will blog page for your organization should be the kinds who can continue to keep their great despite important comments. Most probably, the ideal specific is certainly not your CEO. Corporate speak won't prosper in the blogosphere.
In corporate and business blogging, goals/missions are of prime importance. For a weblog to deliver value, it has to be created with particular goals at heart. Some of these desired goals may be to raise company authority, enhance support services and connection, and give clients a look of the behind-the-scenes 'feel' on the corporate tradition, showcase new releases or providers and more. The main thing is to be clear about your desired goals. You have to be sure about what you are trying to get done and follow them. Just like any business undertaking, you also need to routinely evaluate how well you will be meeting these goals. If perhaps blogging can be proving to get futile, consequently make improvements. If it even now does not work, therefore discontinue blog.
Do take the time to know your clients or prospective buyers. Find out what your audience love, what they are thinking about. You have to recognize what the requirements are and what company you can complete for them. To get their focus, work out a way to participate in a conversation credibly. To be reliable, come up with worthy content ' ideas, insights, news and information. Articles need not end up being long although should be interesting. Corporate weblogs should not veer away from its chosen different types or issues. This is not in order to you cannot always be personal inside your blog posts because you should, however the audience you are trying to relate to do not prefer to read throughout your blog when it is injected with a litany of personal rumblings.
Perform engage the audience in lively and substantial conversations. Take into account the actual say and reply to their very own comments. React in a specialist and businesslike manner whether the comment is normally positive or perhaps negative. Making it possible for comments from your audience will surely mean several complaints and criticisms. Would not take them in person. Respond genuinely and your organization credibility will certainly rise. Permitting audience to generate comments is actually a distinct characteristic of weblogs. Openness is important for successful blogging. Then again, use a remarks filter or comment small amounts to keep an eye on and control comments and delete review spam (useless comments).
For that blog to carry out its objective, do update regularly. Content frequently and consistently, daily or each week, at least. Do end up being generous with the links. Linking is you reason why blogging has become a well-known online connection medium. The best corporate weblogs, more often than not, possess lots of backlinks in each blog post.
Do draw up a set of corporate running a blog policies. Establish limits in what facts can be revealed. Make clear precisely what is allowed and what is not really. Legal issues crop up in operating a blog. It is better to obtain some defense nets. In drafting blogging policies, it is best to do some homework on it and publish suggested policies to obtain feedback.
Concerning what not to do, do not close down existing employee weblogs. More often than not, a staff is already producing a blog page. It might be filled with grievances about the latest spate of oil enhances or it can be snapshots of your relaxing vacation in the Maldives. Maybe this kind of employee is usually singing good remarks of the company's new product. Obtain engage this employee tumblr in a discussion about what your corporate blog page aims to accomplish. Don't wait for a crisis to break out prior to creating a corporate blog. It requires time to discover potential results of operating a blog. Don't maintain your corporate blog writers anonymous or perhaps hidden lurking behind some make-believe characters. The audience will know but it will surely have damaging effects.
Finally, a blog page is not just a miracle remedy. It will not single-handedly turn the distressed provider around. Company blogging must be incorporated with various other marketing and communication tools to get desired results.

I knew, if I did a second one, I was probably committing to doing it weekly for the whole season, said Conarro.
WASHINGTON — Daniel cheap jerseys China Murphy lined a double into the left-field corner that sent Bryce Harper cheap nfl jersey china size 50 racing around the bases to score the game-winning run from first base in a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Phillies in 10 innings on Friday afternoon at Nationals Park.
It's unfortunate to lose him, Hinch said. He made our Opening Day roster for a reason. mlb jersey shop discount code He's an impactful, young arm. We'll get him well, and see him next year.

Bradley would come around to score the tying george springer game used jersey mlb auction orioles run on a Deven Marrero groundout before Mookie Betts limited Chicago Cubs jerseys drove in the go-ahead run with a single later in the inning. Bradley went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Boston Red Sox jersey men on the night.
Rajai's smart baserunning leads to run: With the Kyle Schwarber jersey authentic game still scoreless in the sixth, Red Sox outfielder Rajai Davis took off for a steal of second base. Anderson made a pickoff throw to first. Davis slowed up just enough at the end and dove rather than sliding Atlanta Braves home jersey with the hope that the throw by first baseman Justin Smoak would hit him rather than beating him to the base. Anthony Rizzo jersey men It worked like Reebok Freddie Freeman jersey a charm, and Davis made it in safely as the throw caromed off him. The play looked even better when Nunez jersey cheap nfl review stepped up next and drove him in with an RBI double. Davis added another stolen base later in the game.
It would also be a significant step down from the best version of the Celtics' offer, though. Cleveland would get a similar wing benefit from the Boston deal by adding Crowder, a hard-nosed and dogged defender who also shot 40 cheap mlb jerseys percent from beyond the arc last nba jerseys with sleeves for sale season. Adding a developmental prospect in Zizic, a

Hello, I am working with a client who has a real estate office. I'm familiar with IDX and MLS and know there are various levels of support in WP for these feeds. I am currently looking at wpCasa as one offer but there seems to be some question about the framework working with our local MLS. So this is general, does anyone have any recommendations, does the wpmudev plugins work with IDX and other frameworks or is there something I should be aware of in my requirements. I know this is pretty vague but just looking for anyone who has any knowledge of this for some guidance. Thank you

Dez Bryant Spends $55,000 on Dinner
A Look Behind the Numbers for the Typical Roller:
Rookie Dallas Cowboy Dez Bryant and his $54,896 dinner tab.
Before I even get into the numbers, I just have to say how bummed I am the Cowboys finally won a game this year. I was hoping they would go 0-16 for the season. Don't get me wrong, I love their cheerleaders, always have and always will, who doesn't? They are the hottest chicks in the league.
Other than the hotties on the Dallas sidelines though, I hate everything about the Cowboys. Jerry Jones is an old, Botox injected, egomaniac, D-bag that I can't stand having to watch him parade up and down the sidelines in his $3000 suits whenever the Cowboys are on TV. Say what you want about Romo, but I don't like him 'cause he was sackin' Jessica Simpson, my ex "dream hottie" back when she was hot and before she burned that horrible image of her fat ass in mom jeans into everyone's mind (Marissa Miller is my new "dream hottie" by the way.) I hope that stupid, too low, huge score board falls and makes an unfix-able crater in the field late some night.
Soooooo…… enough with my rant. I just wanted to shed some light on this story of rookie Dez Bryant getting stuck with a $54,896 dinner tab. Seems like we have all heard a story like this every year, but what does it really mean to this guys wallet. What does it cost "to scale" compared to the average Roller on the street? That's the question.
According to my sources, Bryant signed a 5 year deal for $11.8 million dollars. In my mind that puts his annual pay at $2,360,000. A tab of $54,000 represents approximately 2.3 percent of Bryant's "annual" pay, not much really and it's not like he will do it next year, too. For the regular guy you pass on the street making $60,000 a year, 2.3 percent of his pay is $1,380. A pretty decent amount of money, but come on,……..you'd spend more than that just putting a decent set of aftermarket wheels and tires on your Audi. Another way to look at it, picking up the tap for 4 friends who like to drink at Del Frisco's steak house in Vegas followed by a little entertainment at a strip club. Just thought I would put it all into perspective for you. Now I just better not see anything about Bryant and Marissa Miller in the news.
Also, how do you take 51 people out to dinner and have them spend a grand each? Pick the most expensive place in San Diego and try to spend $1000 on dinner by yourself. Granted some of these guys weigh 300+ lbs, but how many steaks can you eat? I am just wondering what type of tip the waitress received. -The Financial Freak
Now go back to work so you can buy a $5 footlong for lunch…….enjoy the video below of the Dallas Cheerleaders swimsuit shoot.

The first images of the bike G5 Plus have leaked
last year, the G4 motorcycle had been entitled to my motorcycle G4 more. This year, the motorcycle G5 should there have right him also. Although we do not much more than the G5 the G5 more rumors begin to appear on the Web. What should I know about the topic?
Lenovo motorcycle G5 more: design and finish
UIne image of two devices had leak in December (the source of the image was unknown) and showed us the two devices from the front and their technical data. Obviously, it was an online store. Recently, another shop online shows much more concrete images of this device. A prototype of what is supposed to be the G5 is on sale in Romania. Images of the device are shown, from the front and back.
At the back, we find of course the motorcycle logo on the middle of the hull, and at the top we find a round area dedicated to all the photo of the device elements: lens, LED flash… We were wondering if Lenovo would give up the plastic to place a nobler material, and from the photo it would be metal. Of course, nothing is official, so it comes here to pure speculation.
Forward, we find the bike right logo and the name "moto" below the top speaker. Downstairs, a unique home that, this time, is no more square and oval button. Of course, the latter is fingerprint reader.
Lenovo motorcycle G5 more: quality screen
according to the site, the screen would have a diagonal of 5.5 inches, which makes him a little phablette. The definition, it is Full-HD (1080 x 1920 pixels), which is rather classic in the high-end and closer to what we can find for example at the Honor.
The manufacturers assume that users do not have high expectations or high ambitions in terms of screen quality. This may change with the advent of the VR, especially considering that even the flagships such as Huawei Mate 9 do not pass definitions such as the QHD.
According to the sales platform, the density of pixels would be 401 pixels per inch. The screen would benefit him Gorilla Glass protection.
Lenovo motorcycle G5 more: software interface
not surprisingly, the smartphone would work with Android 7.0 Nougat. As usual, Motorola should offer an interface very close to Stock Android (Besides we can see in the picture above). Strangely, another site indicates that the smartphone will use Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
Lenovo motorcycle G5 more: camera
the predecessor of this smartphone had an interesting camera: without being the best he had to compete with some high-end devices. It was far from the best on the market, but it was without a doubt one of the best quality/price ratios.
The main camera of this Plus G5 would have a goal of 13 megapixels, IE 3 mpx less than its predecessor. At the front, the goal is 5 megapixels. This source has not provided more information but rumors indicate that the device would have a f/2.0 at the rear opening and f/2.2 to the front.
by Benoit Pepicq
what do you think?
Lenovo motorcycle G5 more: performance
under the hood, we find the processor Snapdragon 625, processor of mid-range that we already know through the Huawei Nova and ZenFone 3 ASUS. Although this is not specified, it is therefore likely that we find the graphics chip Adreno 506 usually associated with this processor.
In order to support all, Lenovo puts 4 GB of RAM (and not 3 GB as announced it a previous rumor) and features an internal memory of 32 GB. Rumors indicate that an extension of memory would be possible via a microSD, up to 128 GB. Lenovo will he propose a 16 GB model or will the deadlock as did Apple?
Lenovo motorcycle G5 more: autonomy
the capacity of the battery will be 3080 mAh. For a 5.5-inch screen size, it is rather average but the important thing is the software optimization, Lenovo can happen to surprise us.

Lenovo motorbike G5 over: release date and price
the device would bear the name of model XT1685. We have no information on the release date or price potential, but he's a strong bet Lenovo fails before next May. Moto G4 most had, was presented mid May 2016 and put on sale the following month for a price 269,90 EUR. It is unlikely that Lenovo changed strategy this year.
What is this smartphone you are interested in? Or do you prefer the competition of Honor?

Cute little play pod areas were completed in early August at the Chadstone Shopping Centre on the Lower Ground near Daiso. Great for little ones to enjoy a play while carers take a break.
The pods include a Café and Shop play pod where little ones can pretend to shop and have a coffee just like their parents and carers!
Crawlers can wonder in the fish pond and climb over some areas of the play pod.
Kids can also play along at the interactive stations setup at different pods.
We love these new play pods at the Chadstone Shopping Centre. These are great little additions that will please little ones and their carers and keep them busy while carers can take a break from shopping!
Our only comment would be that some fencing around the play pods to stop escape artists going to the nearest shops would have been great!
For more ideas of what to do with the kids in Melbourne, checkout our Website, Daily Spots List, CBD Spots or Blog.

I love my mother but Mother's Day is a complicated holiday for me. I have so many feelings about her and us and us back then and us right now….We didn't always have the best relationship. I don't think we were ever close when I was a kid, not since the day I was born, and as an adult, even though things are better, I can't forget the way that made me feel growing up.
I moved out/was kicked out just after my 17th birthday. Admittedly I had been a pretty (read:very) bad teenager but I don't think that was entirely my fault. I was young and I had grown up in a broken and chaotic environment and I didn't know how to cope with any of it. I was fucked up.
My mother didn't know how to deal with a daughter who just wouldn't do as she was told. Well, not beyond hitting me and that eventually stopped working. So she thought it best that since I didn't want to be there and I imagine she no longer wanted me there, that I ought to go. I was shocked but I agreed and I packed up whatever I could carry and I left.
Looking back now I'm not sure how I felt about it. I want to say I missed my mother but it's not like we ever got along anyway. It's not like I was missing out on her hugs and motherly advice. To be honest moving out only meant she couldn't yell at me anymore. I was lost without my mother but I had never really had her in the first place. Not that I can remember anyway.
It wasn't until a couple of years after moving out that I began to feel real anger at my mother. Before that I had just been sad. Sad that I couldn't be the daughter she wanted and sad the I had messed things up so much. I thought my mother hated me and I assumed she regretted ever giving birth to me. I mean, what else could explain the lack of hugs and "I love yous"? Why didn't my mom ask me about myself? Why didn't she do fun things with me? Why did she yell at me so much?
She must have hated me….
After moving out I lived with two cousins and their mother, my aunt. She wasn't the best example of a mother either but she was genuinely interested in how I was doing and where my life was headed. Maybe my own mother had been too but she hadn't let me know in a nice way at all. She only seemed concerned with me after I had already made the wrong choices.
A little after I moved out my mother moved to Missouri with my step-dad and my siblings. That is when I got mad. She hadn't really been there for me but now she was leaving the state? Now I was really on my own. Now I started to think about how alone I had felt my whole life. Now I thought about what a mother is supposed to be. Now I thought about how the actions of the adults in my life had made me who I was and I had been the one to receive the punishment. Now I thought about my mother's role in my current situation.
My heart became hard and I figured if my family didn't want me I didn't want them, and I set out to make my own family. My cousins became like sisters to me and I had met my lovely girlfriend and I felt like that was all I needed.
Me and my mother still talked every once in awhile, and slowly, without me really noticing, something changed. She visited me here and I went to visit her there and then she moved back and she wanted to see me. I don't know how or why but while my feelings about her hadn't changed we acted like none of it had ever happened. I was willing to pretend, I was happy to be a part of the family again….or maybe for the first time.
One day, me and my sister were joking about our rough upbringing in front of our mother and she loudly blurted out that she was sorry. She said she did her best but that she didn't have a clue how to raise us. She said she was sorry. In that moment I forgave my mother. I don't excuse what happened to me but it happened and there wasn't much that could have been done. Most of the events of my childhood were effects from causes that occurred before my birth. I don't think my parents ever had a chance.
I love my mother and I forgive her for not being the loving mother I so desperately needed, the mother she didn't know how to be. Today we are close. We talk at least once a week and many times more often than that. We laugh together and I think she might even be proud of the woman I have become. That has meant a lot to me, but there will always be that little part of me, that girl-child Lisa, who wishes things could have been different, who wishes her mother had shown her love.
So this mother's day I want to thank my mother. I thank her for keeping me alive and I thank her for teaching me that people aren't perfect, not even mothers. I also want to thank her for not denying the fact that she made mistakes as a mother, that goes long way in both my ability to forgive and to heal. And I want to thank her for being here for me now. Despite our past I am happy to have her in my life now and I hope that our relationship will continue to grow.
Despite our past, I do love my mother.
I want to say very quickly that these are my views and feelings of my past from my own perspective and not intended to hurt anyone. I love my family very much and only want to be honest about my experience.
The image is of me and my mother when I was a baby.

Dears, I couldn't end this year 2011 without a word. You already know that's not my style.
There's plenty of time tomorrow to write about the highlights of 2011, which have been plenty, if the massive hangover waiting for me, allows.
Still I wanna say something, and thank you all, those who only read, those who actively participate (not many, but enough for supplying me with the amount of motivation necessary to go on with this thing), and everyone around, for making of this year one of the best in my life. We've heard enough of crisis, the world falling apart, and lots of crap. Leaving that aside, I feel personally fulfilled and glad to be here, alive and kickin'!
I took this picture of myself last night in bed, at 4 AM approx. yes, Instagram and the damn Iphone, apart from a quite acceptable period of high self-esteem, cause me to turn into a little narcissist, and I take pix of myself, fuck it! Because I see myself pretty cool.
I experienced a moment of, we could call it, superior state of mind. I started to think I was in bed by myself, and many thoughts bombed my head. This is what I wrote then:
This has been the first year in my life I've been on my own. No soulmate, no regular sex, no Sunday evenings watching movies and cuddling under the blanket… No Trouble. Just me, my circumstances and a life of my own. I'm glad, grateful to my friends, and feel proud of being the way I am.
It had to be yesterday night, when something so straight was put into words. Maybe some people think I'm carrying a way of life poor and nonsense, or that I should find a partner to share my life with. It's ok, but never lived my live so intensely, and never enjoyed so much. Any tiny thing is a bless, every day is a gift, every wrong turn a lesson. Being able to rediscover myself has been amazing, and sorry about this moment of self flattering, I'm a good girl, and I'm worth knowing. I'll never say I'm perfect, cause I can be a real mess sometimes, but every mistake I make, which affects to someone close, I didn't mean it.
All this said, agreeing with myself I'm fine by myself, and remarking that without my friends and loved ones I'd be nothing, I just wanna wish you an amazing New Year, and wish you the best. 2012 is gonna be a blast, better than 2011, and I'm positive we'll witness a Guns n' Roses reunion. You gotta believe! Hahaha
Bless you all, friends!!!

Showaround Launches App that Connects Locals with Tourists for the Best Travel Experiences
Showaround today officially launched its breakthrough travel app that connects travelers in search of unique experiences with locals who are ready to show them around their cities.
Available for iOS (Android coming soon), Showaround lets users browse locals in the area they're traveling to, choose a local they like, then plan and discuss the activities for their visit.
"We help travelers discover and choose from verified locals according to their personality, experience and credibility," says founder Linas Sablovskis. "Our users get to do what they're interested in doing, and most importantly witness the city through the eyes of the local, who can offer a more authentic first-hand experience than just your average tour guide."
One of the many benefits of using Showaround is it's much more flexible and less formal than a traditional tour with a guide.
"With a guide, a tour is set and planned in advance, whereas with a Showaround local you can take a turn at any narrow street that catches your interest," added Sablovskis. "It allows on the spot decisions and spontaneity to occur, just like they would if you were exploring a new city with an old friend who lived there."
Anyone can benefit from using Showaround. Business travelers, solo-independent travelers, couples, new people in the city, and millennials who don't want to pay for high-priced tours, and who are spontaneous and ready for a fun new adventure.
As a traveler on Showaround, users have the freedom to tailor tours with locals before arriving at their travel destination. They can choose a verified local based on his or her personality, background and get an insider's perspective on what they should see and do.
For "Locals", Showaround is a great way to earn extra money. Locals choose their hourly rate and organize a schedule as they please, so they can show visitors the best of their city in their free time.
"There's no reason to be a mere tourist anymore. Locals offer a real and edgier experience – showing off beautiful sites and delivering authentic local cultural highlights at a price that works for both the visitor and the local," Sablovskis said.

Algo Provisioning Guides
All Algo SIP products support provisioning. This allows system administrators to manage & configure large numbers of devices without the need to log into each individual web interface, which can save time and ensure consistent setups. It can also be used by installers to pre-configure units prior to installation on the final network.
The concept is simple: configuration files can be placed on a central server, and then the Algo devices can be instructed to fetch these files. Configuration files can be easily generated by downloading a backup of the settings currently on a device.
To provision an Algo endpoint, three steps are necessary:
- Provide the Algo endpoint device with the address of the provisioning server
- Create the desired configuration files, and place these on the provisioning server
- Reboot the device
These steps are described in more detail in the Provisioning Guide.
Firmware Notes
Please note that the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler, 8186 SIP Horn Speaker, and 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker now ship with 1.6 firmware. To identify them look at the release number on the box or on the label.
- 8301 - Rls 10 or above - Firmware 1.6.2
- 8186 - Rls 9 or above - Firmware 1.6.1
- 8188 - Rls 12 or above - Firmware 1.6.2
Please be aware that the firmware on these devices cannot be downgraded, due to the new driver support required by the latest iteration of the on-board memory used in this hardware.
If using the provisioning function to install a specific version of firmware, be sure to use the appropriate files supported by these devices.
If you already tried to downgrade or need assistance, please contact Algo Support.

Vegan Pavlovas with Apricot Caramel Sauce
by Nicola Galloway
These magical vegan meringues are made from legume (dried beans and peas) cooking water. This is often referred to as aquafaba that literally means 'bean water'. Similar to egg white, aquafaba can be whipped with sugar until glossy and cooked slowly until dry. However, it won't hold its shape quite as well as egg white during cooked so best used for smaller meringues rather than a large pavlova. We can't get enough of this inventive recipe from the lovely Nicola Galloway.
- 400g can Chantal chickpeas
- 1 tsp Chantal apple cider vinegar
- 150g / 3/4 cup Chantal golden sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
Apricot Caramel Sauce
- 1/2 cup Chantal dried apricots
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp Chantal almond butter or hulled tahini
- 2 tbsp Chantal deodorized coconut oil
- 1 tbsp Chantal brown rice syrup
- 1/2 tsp Chantal fine sea salt
1. Preheat the oven to 100C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Drain the chickpeas and weigh out 150g of aquafaba into a mixing bowl. If scales are unavailable use 2/3 cup aquafaba. Save the chickpeas for making hummus or adding to a curry.
3. Using a stand mixer or electric whisk whip the aquafaba until stiff peaks form, about 5 - 6 minutes. Once the aquafaba is thick, add the apple cider vinegar. Blend the sugar in a coffee grinder or blender until fine and powdery - this will result in a smoother textured meringue.
4. With the mixer going add a heaped tablespoon of sugar at a time until combined. Whip the meringue for a further 5 minutes until thick and glossy. Add the vanilla and briefly mix to incorporate.
5. Using teaspoons scoop heaped mounds of the meringue onto the baking sheets. Leave 2 cm space between each, as they will spread a little during cooking.
6. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until firm, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues to cool and dry in the oven.
7. Once completely cool, and just prior to serving, spread the meringues with Apricot Caramel Sauce sandwiching with a second meringue. Repeat until all the meringues are used. Serve immediately.
Apricot Caramel Sauce
1. Place the apricots and water into a small pan. Cover and bring to a boil.
2. Simmer for 10 minutes until the apricots are soft. Remove from the heat and cool a little.
3. Place the apricots and their cooking liquid along with the remaining ingredients into a blender and process until smooth. Check flavour adding extra salt or sweetener if needed.

We at Old World K.K. would like to announce the incorporation of a new entity, Kamogawa Ryokan KK Incorporated, to coincide with our new property acquisition along the Kamogawa River, in Kyoto, Japan.
Kamogawa Ryokan KK is created for the purpose of developing a hospitality property on the banks of the Kamogawa River, that is aimed to present visitors with Japanese traditional ambiance with all the modern comforts one can expect from a modern luxury travel experience.
The property that is set to be the new accommodation is a river-facing double lot that allows the construction of a small hospitality property.
The area located between the scenic Kamogawa River, and Takase canal, once called Gojo-Rakuen (Gojo-Paradise), in the 7th century gained infamy when it was the residence of the main character in the classic work of Japanese literature Tale of the Genji.
Kamogawa Ryokan's incorporation on January 10, 2018 marks a significant step towards developing truly unique accommodation in a picturesque, yet quaint and uncrowded area of Kyoto.

This came through last night. I keep asking to reach higher knowledge. Perhaps I have taken a step toward this. My mind loves to throw doubts in my face in a misguided attempt to protect me. I am opening to heart energy regardless. It is only through experience that we change beliefs into knowns. There are no words, no magic tricks to get there. There is just allowing the experience to unfold inside you to reveal what has been there all along.
GS: Knowing
is beyond words. You have many words but little knowing. To know you must
listen underneath words, underneath thinking and little emotions. There is a
deep dark core of you who knows. She is a constant vibratory presence within
you. There are no words, no gestures. Just a deep throbbing undercurrent, a
tone or thread that runs through everything you do, everything you say. Become
aware of this current of energy that you can ride on throughout your day. This
is your connection to Source. This is your connection to everyone else. It is
an energy vibration that is a thread that is a song that is a heartbeat that is
a tone that is a drum that is a chime that is a still voice within. Open up
your heart. Push aside the petty thoughts that your mind is continually
regurgitating. Make space, more space, even more space inside your heart and
then this still small voice will whisper and you will hear her tiny voice from
across the cavernous space inside your open heart and the sound will echo like
thunder and awaken your spirit and awaken the angels and awaken the heart in
the hearts of everyone you meet. Let this voice be heard. Let this voice speak
out. Let this voice be the god that you are in action. Let It Be.

A memo that Secretary Dan Glickman sent to agency chiefs this month gives a general outline. Agriculture wants to eliminate more than 1,300 jobs over the next five years. Savings to USDA could be as high as $450 million, Glickman said.
Some of the money Agriculture saves will be applied to computer upgrades and modernization efforts. Chief information officer Anne Thomson Reed is one of two people selected to head the streamlining effort.
she is creating has not yet discussed the plan with a team of USDA employees. Glickman said in his memo that Reed has full authority for information technology decisions related to the streamlining effort.
Assistant secretary for administration Pearlie Reed will be in charge of other management decisions, the memo said.
The bulk of the cuts affect three USDA agencies:
Glickman's decision will force further consolidations within the three agencies. USDA previously had created the agencies by merging operations that had supported farm programs for almost half a century.
Likewise, the department has been working for almost five years on refining its field office operations.
Although responsibility for making the cuts has been given to Anne Reed and Pearlie Reed, USDA agency chiefs will still be responsible for program decisions. Glickman said full responsibility for all regional activities will be transferred back to agency heads once the cuts and consolidations are made.
Although Glickman did not discuss specific IT plans in his memo, the secretary said that all streamlining decisions must comply with decisions he will make after reviewing Anne Reed's assessment of USDA's IT problems.
Agriculture is under a self-imposed moratorium on IT purchases until the department can come up with a plan to modernize its aging and often incompatible networks.
Anne Reed said she could not discuss specific IT plans because no work on the project has begun.
Agriculture officials said the department would offer bonuses and other incentives to employees to avoid layoffs. Glickman's plan comes as Agriculture has begun to eliminate 11,000 jobs over the next four years to cut costs.

New Report Highlights Strengths and Weaknesses of Emergency Alert and Warning Systems in Sonoma County
Sonoma County has completed a first of its kind test of its emergency alert and warning mechanisms in the wake of wildfires that destroyed more than 5,000 structures and killed dozens of people nearly one year ago.
The exercise was carried out by the Sonoma County Division of Emergency Management with help from local police agencies and the public on September 10 and 12. The goal was to identify specific strengths and weaknesses of each available tool —SoCoAlert, the federal Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA), and the Emergency Alert System (EAS) — to improve efficacy of the emergency alert system in the future. Findings were based on public survey results from thousands of participants.
One of the main discoveries involved inherent weaknesses in the federal WEA which need to be addressed. Among other things, the survey results showed that the two main mobile carriers in the area, AT&T and Verizon, have distinct methods and algorithms for distributing WEAs which causes significant issues for alert delivery.
"This exercise verified the need for improvement of the federal WEA system capabilities as it relates to conditions on the ground in Sonoma County," according to the after action report's conclusion. "The exercise findings indicate that significant challenges remain regarding the effective use of the federal warning systems, including WEA and EAS. These challenges include incomplete and inconsistent alerting across telecommunication providers, significant bleed over when targeting specific geographic locations, and the performance of the technology across various wireless devices. These shortcomings significantly conflict with the public's expectations for service. Local government emergency managers will have to continue to take into account these shortcomings in developing and conducting alert and warning efforts. It is critical that local governments, Cal OES, FEMA, and the FCC engage telecommunications providers to continue to improve the reliability and effectiveness of these systems."
As a result of the tests' publicity, the number of subscribers to SoCoAlert increased 38%. There were 36,314 registered phone numbers as of September 3. By September 25, that number had swelled to 50,167.
A copy of Sonoma County's report on the alert and warning exercise can be viewed on the Sonoma County website. Click here to a read the county's press release.

President Barack Obama's reelection campaign released a new television ad on Friday to air during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.
The ad, titled "I Believe," keeps consistent with the president's focus on working-class Americans and features a clip from one of Obama's recent campaign speeches emphasizing the need to fight for the middle class:
"We're a nation of workers and doers and dreamers. We work hard for what we get. And all we ask for is that our hard work pays off. I believe that the way you grow the economy is from the middle out. I believe in fighting for the middle class because if they're prospering all of us will prosper. That's the idea of America and that's why America is the greatest nation on earth."
The commercial also continues the Obama campaign's trend of positive advertising after months of flooding the airwaves with negative spots attacking presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
