2019 Utility Outage Communications Conference
November 18-19, 2019 | Austin, TX
Customers think about their utility more when the power is off than when it is on. When the lights go out, they're on their phones, scrambling to know what's happening. In this narrow window of time, utilities have the best chance to impress or frustrate their customers. Communications are put to the ultimate test when outages occur. That's why planning for outage communications is critical.
When there's an outage, customers are looking for information everywhere – in the form of emails, text messages, social media, and even non-digital communications. Utilities must inform customers right away through a variety of channels including the website, social media, and phone recordings — even before sending out a press release to local media. Whether it's a planned outage or a storm event, providing information to customers keeps customers happy and calls out of your call center during power outages.
At EUCI's 9th Outage Communications conference, utility and industry professionals will share their best practices in dealing with outages and how their organizations continue to transform the communications landscape. Attendees will leave with valuable takeaways to help them keep customers informed when the next planned or unplanned outage hits.
Learning Outcomes
This conference will provide attendees an opportunity to:
- Discuss how to collaborate with customers, community groups and other stakeholders to stay ahead of impending disasters
- Demonstrate how to Identify and influence real-time customer sentiment
- Discuss how to survive a class action lawsuit as a result of a utility vegetation management program
- Identify lessons learned from case studies of storm communications to improve day-to-day communications
- Explore new and traditional ways of communicating with customers to improve outage communications
- Recognize how to establish open lines of communication throughout the organization
- Demonstrate how to be proactive with notifications to improve customer engagement

9:00 – 9:45 a.m. :: Beyond Outages: Anticipating Cyber Attacks, Wildfires, Crypto Overload & Dam Breaches
Outage communications programs are integral to electric utilities' annual preparations. We plan, practice and tackle storms with a keen eye on continual improvement for our customers. But, what about those other potential crises looming below the surface that threaten customer safety, test our resilience and burden our utilities with unplanned workloads? Neil Neroutsos will share his experiences working for two utilities in the Pacific Northwest to anticipate events and develop proactive communications to address a range of potential organizational landmines. The session will include examples of successful collaborations with customers, community groups, government agencies and other stakeholders – all aimed at staying several steps ahead of impending disasters.
Neil Neroutsos, Corporate Communications Manager, Chelan County Public Utility District
9:45 – 10:30 a.m. :: Weathering the Digital Storm: Managing the Expectations and Demands of Hyper-Connected Audiences
In this segment, Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) will share its best practices and lessons learned from managing multiple digital channels during times of crises, both big and small. Using actual case studies of power outages — such as equipment failures to transformers or different types of severe weather — KUB will also discuss how this very progressive utility matured to better use technology and social media to protect the company brand and enhance stakeholder engagement.
Jay Miller, Business Management Analyst, Knoxville Utilities Board
10:30– 10:45 a.m. :: Networking Break
10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. :: Ground to Sky Tree Clearance
In this session, learn how one utility survived a class-action lawsuit (not to mention a terrible program name) after chopping down trees along a designated scenic road as part of its vegetation management program, and now has customers and communities embracing the importance of tree trimming. Randi Berris, electric operations communications manager at DTE Energy in Detroit, will share the company's four-step communications process and PR strategy that has built up strong support for trimming trees to improve reliability. The session will include a case study on the PR disaster that led DTE to revamp its entire program and how communications, including social media, has helped turn the tide in the company's favor.
Randi Berris, Manager Corporate Communications, DTE Energy
11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. :: Developing Strategic Outage Communications: Best Practices and Lessons Learned
Establishing more strategic customer outage communications and enhancing explicit alerts requires a deliberate and tactical approach. From field ops to customer satisfaction, from IT to customer service, from regulatory to communications, all departments need to be involved and on the same page. This presentation will serve as a platform to educate and share how uniting multiple departments behind a company-wide initiative to design proactive, timely outage alerts and deploy a comprehensive outage communications strategy improves customer satisfaction. Topics to be covered in this session include:
- Lessons learned and the best practices deployed along the way
- Understanding best practices for managing a highly entangled internal outage process
- Hear about "quick wins" that realize results during a long-term engagement
Melanie Wemple, Director, E Source
12:15 – 1:15 p.m. :: Group Luncheon
1:15 – 2:15 p.m. :: Controlling the Narrative: A Live Demonstration of SCE's Customer Communications Portal
The modern customer expects their utility to proactively provide relevant information as a two-way dialogue, at the right time, in the proper format, over their preferred channel. Consistent with their other brand experiences, customers expect these interactions to expose tools to reduce friction with the least amount of effort. For utilities, the inherent complexities of meeting these demands can be challenging delivering large volumes of time-sensitive multichannel communications, ensuring the integrity of customer contact information and the relevance of the information shared, while supporting internal business rules and operational practices through integration with disparate data systems.
In this fast-paced session, Message Broadcast and SoCal Edison take you to the scene of an impending large-scale outage event. Watch the two work together in real time as they execute against an emergency plan and are forced to pivot communications due to unforeseen events. During the presentation you will learn several things including how to:
- Identify and influence real-time customer sentiment
- Leverage TCPA Safe Harbors to validate existing customer contact data
- Move seamlessly on and off playbook messaging
Tomaso Giannelli, Senior Manager, Southern California Edison
Bill Joiner, Chief Strategy Officer, Message Broadcast
2:15 – 3:00 p.m. :: Social Media Outage Communications
Whether it's a blue-sky day or during a storm, the ComEd Social Media Team is committed to providing proactive, transparent, accurate and up-to-date information as quickly as possible to our customers. Learn about how ComEd is breaking the mold of a traditional utility social media team to bring timely communications to its customers that surprise and delight them on our digital channels. During the session, discover what goes into a successful social media communications plan at ComEd, including strategy and planning, messaging & creative, social listening & sentiment measurement, analytics, and more!
Caralyn Zloch, Social Media Analyst, ComEd
3:00 – 3:15 p.m. :: Networking Break
3:15 – 4:00 p.m. :: How Con Edison's Communications Team Handled the Unexpected
In July, a power cable fire sparked a cascading series of systemic failures that plunged a swath of New York City into darkness resulting in a three-day crush of press conferences, interviews and meetings. Despite not having immediate information about the blackout's cause, Con Edison knew it had to respond quickly and communicate with the public. In this session, learn how the Con Edison communications team handled this unexpected crisis in a timely and efficient manner under the close eye of the media and elected officials.
Michael Clendenin, Director of Media Relations, Con Edison
4:00 – 5:00 p.m. :: Roundtable Discussion on Outage Communications
In this roundtable discussion, you will have the opportunity to talk with your peers about successes and challenges with outage communications.

Let's can hunger
During Ball Corporation's 2015 "Let's Can Hunger" food drive, the company's North American employees donated more than 170,000 pounds of canned food and raised more than $215,000 in monetary contributions, which will provide approximately 700,000 meals to those in need in the 37 communities where Ball operates in the US, Canada and Mexico.
The food collected, combined with employee donations, the Ball Corporation match and The Ball Foundation's dollar per pound match of food, will benefit nonprofit organisations that help provide and improve local access to sufficient food resources for individuals and families in need.
"Ball employees are committed to helping ensure that everyone in their communities has access to nutritious food," says Kathleen Pitre, director of corporate relations for Ball Corporation and executive director of The Ball Foundation. "Canned food provides safe, nourishing and easy-to-prepare nutrition to those who need it. We are proud that Ball and its employees will have such a positive impact in the areas where they live and work."

Table_2_The Molecular and Neuropathological Consequences of Genetic Risk for Alzheimer's Dementia.xlsx
Alzheimer's dementia commonly impacts the health of older adults and lacks any preventative therapy. While Alzheimer's dementia risk has a substantial genetic component, the specific molecular mechanisms and neuropathologies triggered by most of the known genetic variants are unclear. Resultantly, they have shown limited influence on drug development portfolios to date. To facilitate our understanding of the consequences of Alzheimer's dementia susceptibility variants, we examined their relationship to a wide range of clinical, molecular and neuropathological features. Because the effect size of individual variants is typically small, we utilized a polygenic (overall) risk approach to identify the global impact of Alzheimer's dementia susceptibility variants. Under this approach, each individual has a polygenic risk score (PRS) that we related to clinical, molecular and neuropathological phenotypes. Applying this approach to 1,272 individuals who came to autopsy from one of two longitudinal aging cohorts, we observed that an individual's PRS was associated with cognitive decline and brain pathologies including beta-amyloid, tau-tangles, hippocampal sclerosis, and TDP-43, MIR132, four proteins including VGF, IGFBP5, and STX1A, and many chromosomal regions decorated with acetylation on histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9Ac). While excluding the APOE/TOMM40 region (containing the single largest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's dementia) in the calculation of the PRS resulted in a slightly weaker association with the molecular signatures, results remained significant. These PRS-associated brain pathologies and molecular signatures appear to mediate genetic risk, as they attenuated the association of the PRS with cognitive decline. Notably, the PRS induced changes in H3K9Ac throughout the genome, implicating it in large-scale chromatin changes. Thus, the PRS for Alzheimer's dementia (AD-PRS) showed effects on diverse clinical, molecular, and pathological systems, ranging from the epigenome to specific proteins. These convergent targets of a large number of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's dementia will help define the experimental systems and models needed to test therapeutic targets, which are expected to be broadly effective in the aging population that carries diverse genetic risks for Alzheimer's dementia.

The Truth about Goats
Having landed on the dark side of the moon, Chinese scientists have confirmed a complete lack of quadraphonic music and 'almost no evidence' of 1970's prog-rock. Instead, the Chang'e-4 probe found a barren, rocky landscape, devoid of atmosphere – which is much more similar to Radiohead's 'Ok Computer'.
Despite an estimated sales of over 45 million copies, the album is now thought to be a money-making ploy – a pyramid scheme, if you like – dispersing light into colour. Commented one fan: 'I was expecting a soaring guitar solo with layered vocals, instead all I got was grainy photograph of the Von Kármán crater and this lousy cheese-smelling t-shirt'.
Previously, the Apollo 17 landing had disproved any lunar dancing from Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy or King Harvest. Cat Stevens' 'Moon Shadow' was just dust on the lens and this was all despite Frank Sinatra demanding to be flown to the Moon for free.
This brings into question the scientific validity of other concept albums; how lonely was Sgt. Pepper, did Ziggy Stardust really oscillate and was Tommy a pinball wizard or just a muggle? Explained one scientist: 'What little atmosphere the Moon has consists of has consists of unusual gases like sodium and potassium – 'Money' is not one of them'.

For the many reason of updating and fixing up your home, the biggest one would probably be people just wanting to upgrade the look of their home. Taking out a home loan or mortgage to update and renovate your home is not an option for many, below are some relatively inexpensive ways to improve the look of your home and make it feel more sophisticated.
Use Fresh Flowers to Decorate
The flower bouquets that you choose to get don't have to break your wallet, but having a fresh bouquet of flowers is a great way to make your home look, smell, and feel better. A simple and cheap bouquet from the grocery store can be all you need to add a bit of luxury to your home, especially if you had it in a nice, simple vase in a neutral color. Another idea is that you can get a big bouquet of flowers and split them up into a number of smaller arrangements and put them in different rooms of your home. A good thing to remember is to get flower colors that complement the colors in your home.
A great way to improve the look of your house is to change up the colors to make them match more. Putting a couple coats of paint on your walls in a neutral color (beige, cream, white, gray, etc.), if they are not painted those colors already, will help make the colors of your accessories pop and look more sophisticated rather than a colorful, jumbled mess. Picking specific items in each room that will match in color and design, such as the pillows and the curtains or the rug and the curtains, will help the color have an even bigger impact due to the fact that there isn't the color everywhere, overwhelming the neutrals. Finding vintage lamps and accessories, artwork, vases for flowers, and throws on the couch are all great ways to decorate and beautify your living spaces.
Redo the Floors
The floors in a house are one of the most important aspects of a good looking home; they can either make or break a look you are trying to go for. Even though fully replacing floors is very expensive and not many people have the time or the money to replace them, there are cheaper ways to improve the look of your old flooring. If you have vinyl or linoleum flooring, there are a few different ways that you can change it up and can be as simple as painting it. If you have wood flooring, an easy way to make the room look better is to add a light colored carpet over most of it, which can also make the room look bigger. There are also a few ways that you can refinish your own wood floors to make them look better and get rid of scratches.
Use Textures
Although it may seem like a good idea to use accents in all the same textures, it actually can make a space look flat and boring. A better idea is to swap out the same textured pillows that you have with 2 or 3 different textures, as well as possibly switching out your curtains to a new texture. Having all of these different textures yet cohesive accessories, either by color or design, will make your space look more visually interesting and luxurious. This will especially have more impact if your major furniture and walls are in neutrals as stated above, making the bold colors and textures of the accessories pop and take center stage.

People that have pet snakes are very much akin to them YUK
People that are sick!
People that are sick!
you don't actualy think you just "let it loose in your house" do you? no..... you keep it in a tank
dude are you kidding me snakes are VENOMOUS not poisonous poison is when you consume it and it kills you that way VENOM is when it is injected into your bloodflow and kills you that way
Snakes are really fascinating creatures, but they don't appeal to everyone. It's definitely a different kind of animal than a cat or a dog, or really anything else. They are extremely unique pets and there are so many different kinds that could be a good fit for different kinds of people. A lot of times people don't know alot about them so they think they are scary or bad pets, but I have talked with a lot of people at educational shows I participate in with my five snakes and once they get a better understanding of the animal, they begin to like them. They are somewhat addicting too, I only wanted one and slowly just got more and more and I love them all. My biggest one gives great neck massages too. Some people believe snakes can be therapeutic, although I am not sure if there are any facts to back that up, I could see where they are coming from on that. They are also super easy to take care of, they eat once a week at most and just need fresh water and occasional spot cleaning on the cages (usually around 1x a week), and they are quiet. They all have their own personalities and quirks as well making them even more interesting, and they are the kind of pet that will just lay on you while you watch tv or read or do anything really. Lastly, people think it's pretty cool if you have one
I'm trying to convice my mom to get me a Ball Python (my cousin has one and i know she's super sweet) but my mom's scared it's gonna kill me.😂 but anyway these points you made are super helpful. THANK YOU!!!
I am allergic to both dogs and cats, but disagree with your point. I did not get my beautiful snake, Boba, because I couldn't have a fluffy pet to hold, but because of my fascination with snakes and reptiles. Boba is a very rewarding pet that doesn't give me asthma.
Because snakes are one of a kind pets. Snakes are fun pets too. But I can see how snakes can be a bad pet too. They could get out and hurt you. But if you have snakes like ours then they could be some of the greatest pets you have. If you have snakes as pets I would prefer nonvenomous snakes. But if it were me I would have a snake as a pet.
I have A snake she my love we sleep in the bad and take A shower she love me we go every were she is yellow and yellow spots I love her so much
I've heard plenty of stories where snakes size up their own owners because they're planning to devour them

In general terms, throughput is the maximum rate of production or the maximum rate at which something can be processed.
When used in the context of communication networks, such as Ethernet or packet radio, throughput or network throughput is the rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel. The data these messages belong to may be delivered over a physical or logical link, or it can pass through a certain network node. Throughput is usually measured in bits per second (bit/s or bps), and sometimes in data packets per second (p/s or pps) or data packets per time slot.
The system throughput or aggregate throughput is the sum of the data rates that are delivered to all terminals in a network. Throughput is essentially synonymous to digital bandwidth consumption; it can be analyzed mathematically by applying the queueing theory, where the load in packets per time unit is denoted as the arrival rate (λ), and the throughput, in packets per time unit, is denoted as the departure rate (μ).
The throughput of a communication system may be affected by various factors, including the limitations of underlying analog physical medium, available processing power of the system components, and end-user behavior. When various protocol overheads are taken into account, useful rate of the transferred data can be significantly lower than the maximum achievable throughput; the useful part is usually referred to as goodput.

Jill Manester Returns To M&C Saatchi As Strategy Chief For Melbourne
M&C Saatchi has announced the appointment of Jill Manester as its head of strategy for Melbourne.
Manester worked for M&C Saatchi earlier in her career in both Sydney and London before taking on roles with The Campaign Palace, SapientNitro and most recently TBWA.
She has led the strategy behind award-winning work for clients including Lexus, Johnson & Johnson, RBS Group, France Telecom, Harrods, and Pernod Ricard.
In her most recent role at TBWA, Manester was instrumental in partnering with the new ANZ executive team to develop the brand's customer strategy and customer value proposition.
In her new role, Manester will be reunited with Emma Hill, who was appointed as M&C Saatchi Melbourne's executive creative director last month.
Justin Graham, chief strategy officer at M&C Saatchi Melbourne, said: "Meeting Jill, I was immediately struck by her curiosity and sheer excitement for advertising.
"I can't wait to see her get stuck in leading our strategy offering in Melbourne as well as contributing to the broader strategic leadership team."
Andy Cairns, managing director of M&C Saatchi Melbourne, added: "Jill is the kind of strategist our industry is crying out for right now; data-savvy, commercially astute, massively collaborative and, most important of all, a lover of great work.
"Her pedigree and category experience are as rare as hen's teeth."
Commenting on her appointment, Manester said: "M&C Saatchi is one of those rare agencies where creativity and commercial nous happily co-exist – along with a good dose of chutzpah and style. That makes it hard to shake.
"And now Emma's there! Together we've produced some cracking strategic creative, but this time we're doing it with Andy – an awesome, smart suit who also happens to make me laugh… a lot. It's a good time to be going home."

Nothing is secret on the internet — we know this. We get Facebook ads for shoes we look at on ASOS and Instagram ads for products we mention on Facebook. The eyes and algorithms are everywhere. Sometimes it's creepy, sure. But today it's great, because it means that everyone has a perfect, beautiful Spotify playlist of the songs we loved in high school.
Photo: Visual Hunt
Spotify just launched Your Time Capsule, a personalised playlist for every user. These are "songs to take you back in time to your teenage years. Bring on the memories with 2 hours of iconic throwback tracks — all picked just for you."
You can find your own eerily accurate trip down nostalgia lane by searching "Your Time Capsule" in Spotify, or by clicking here. Of course, it can't be perfect. My playlist includes music from 2011, which is neither "throwback" nor anywhere near my teenage years — but it's mostly radio hits from the mid-'90s and songs I really loved. The Suicide Machines and Del Amitri? I feel so seen. Seen by the spooky algorithm gods, sure — but seen!

ROYAL DECREE 27/2012 on suspension of evictions the most vulnerable.
The Spanish government has approved a Royal Decree to stop evictions of vulnerable people, but which does not affect the foreclosure process.
Evictions will be frozen for two years for the most vulnerable social groups. This includes large families with children under three years old, the disabled and the unemployed without benefits. It also includes debtors who are unemployed and victims of domestic violence. The proposal is the creation of a hosing estate of rented homes for all those facing eviction.
The concept is intended for people who are in this situation to allow them two years to stay in their house from which the eviction is temporarily delayed.
This plan has two urgent measures to alleviate the effects of possible evictions suffered by those affected:
1. Protect those with a lower annual income (below 19,200 euro counting two extra payments). Thus, the final phase of this process will halt for a period of up to two years for people who have lower incomes, have large families with children under three years, disabled or dependent, unemployed borrowers without benefits or victims of domestic violence.
2. To create new social housing for the homeless due to these circumstances. This scheme will provide subsidised housing with economic rents.
Are you affected? Contact Adriana Andreu for professional legal advise. Tel: 96 550 5305 / 655 093 356 email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Richard Sherman has taken some flack for his one-year deal with the 49ers, but he has no regrets about acting as his own agent.
"I don't think any agent in the business could have done a better job of negotiating this contract," Sherman told Peter King of The MMQB. "As long as I'm content with what I'm making, nothing else matters to me. Once I make a Pro Bowl, $8MM the next year is guaranteed for me. It gives me the ability to control my destiny. The 49ers have skin in the game. I have skin in the game. In my former contract, no matter what I did this year, nothing would be guaranteed to me next year. I couldn't feel secure in my contract. Now, if I play the way I know I'm capable of playing, I know I'm going to get paid."
Sherman's deal is a three-year, $39MM pact, but a deeper look shows that the real base value is just $21.15MM with another $18MM coming in the form of bonuses. In order to earn the full $39MM, Sherman must play in every regular season game, be on the field for 90% of snaps, and earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in each season. In other words, it's unlikely that Sherman will actually see the full value of the deal. Still, Sherman is content with how things played out and intimated that he wanted the opportunity to face his old team twice per year.
- Mike Klis of 9News in Denver (on Twitter) had more on the 49ers' proposed trade for cornerback Aqib Talib from the Broncos, which Talib rejected. The 49ers were going to send a fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft in exchange for the services of the five-time Pro Bowler. In the end, the Broncos traded Talib to the Rams for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 draft.
- The Buccanneers looked to shore up their kicking woes of late by attempting to land former Florida State kicker Dustin Hopkins before he re-signed with the Redskins, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. The Bucs cut former second-round pick Roberto Aguayo prior to last season and Nick Folk was cut last month after missing a majority of last season on injured reserve with a minor-injury designation. Free-agent addition Patrick Murray hit 82.6% of his kicks with Tampa Bay last year in 23 attempts, with a long of 50 yards.
- The Giants and offensive lineman John Greco agreed to a one-year deal last month and Ralph Vacchiano of SNY (on Twitter) that his salary for 2018 will be $1.02MM. Greco appeared in six games for the Giants last season after spending the previous six seasons as a mainstay within the interior of the Browns' offensive line.

We have recently diagnosed a special difficult case, immature teratoma.
Child, female, 9 years old. One week ago, the family found that the child's pelvic cavity was slightly bulged, and it was hard to touch. There was no tenderness. No specific treatment was performed. After observation, the pelvic cavity gradually bulged a mass. It is recommended to come to our hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. Outpatient color Doppler ultrasound shows: a huge cystic solid mass in the pelvic cavity. Considering teratoma (mostly from the posterior pelvic peritoneal iliac crest), hospitalization is recommended. As seen during the operation, the mass originated from the right ovary, and the malignancy was considered in combination with the naked eye and intraoperative freezing results. The last lump was removed. General view: one gray-red cystic solid mass, with a total volume of 13.5cm × 11cm × 6.5cm, the section is multi-colored, and the solid area is the main area. There are multiple cysts, and the diameter of the cysts is 1.8-3cm. Contains a gray-red liquid, of varying quality, with bone tissue. Pathological diagnosis: (right ovary) immature teratoma grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ, no invasion of the capsule.
Immature teratoma mostly occurs before the age of 20, less than 10% of patients over the age of 30, and rare after menopause. The tumor grows rapidly and manifests as an abdominal mass or torsion of the tumor and abdominal pain. In some patients, serum AFP is slightly elevated and occasionally hCG is elevated. About one-third of the patients had extraovarian spread at the time of surgery, usually manifested as peritoneal implants, a few lymph node metastases, and rare hematogenous metastases. Tumor classification and staging are important prognostic factors. Survival rates for tumor grades 1, 2, and 3 are 82%, 63%, and 30% for surgery alone, and increased to 90% -100% after combined chemotherapy. Some studies have shown that the prognosis of immature teratomas in children and adolescents is good. The recurrence of immature teratomas in this age group is likely to be related to the yolk sac component, which should be treated with chemotherapy.

Season 4.0Edit
Little Egypt was scheduled to fight The Dude first, but when its opponent was loaded into the BattleBox it lost control and charged across the floor. Since it was deemed unsafe to compete, Little Egypt won by default and advanced to the TV rounds, where it faced Dreadnought.

The fashion show of his brand is officially included in the network of events of the New York Fashion Week for the second time on February 13.
His collection "Butterfly Effect" consist of 34 looks.
The fashion collection was inspired by the Monarch butterfly, which he saw during one of his visits to North America; Black, orange and white pattern can be seen both in the colors and in the structure of the fabrics used for this collection.
Talking about the collection of the autumn-winter 2019-2020 season, Rufat Ismayil stressed that it is for strong, strong-willed and mysterious women who will tease with their breathtaking appearance, while being inaccessible.

He decided to move to Istanbul to pursue the launch of his own label. That has been the beginning of "AFFFAIR" as it is now. Rufat is involved in all the areas of establishing a collection from design and creative direction, to being in charge of the textiles and garment production factory.
Moreover, Rufat Ismayil was recognized as the best Turkish designer by Turkish Association of Fashion Designers.

A series of pictures and
of two Chinese boys, who were found hiding in the undercarriage of a bus, has sparked an online outcry about the plight "left behind" children in rural China.

The latest B-Class iPad Brochure app from Mercedes-Benz is a first for the showroom environment. It features the newest in augmented reality with full-scale experience layers information directly on the vehicle itself. The interactive app utilizes iPad's ability to inform and to entertain. With this app, the B-Class can come to life for prospective B-Class buyer to explore.
Those who are looking for a visual kick, the model lines section enables a convenient and fast way to compare the SE trim with the Sport 'slide by slide' from three exterior angles. One can see thousands of personalization choices by using the configurator. There are many customer-specific interior and exterior color choices, design specification additions, wheel options and trim line options.
App users can save and share their ideal B-Class. A handy Retailer Locator tool will direct them to the nearest retailer if they wish to learn more or explore further into the augmented reality in the comfort of their local showroom. The app has every feature which a potential B-Class buyer could wish to learn about the new model such as price list as well as all the information seen in a conventional paper brochure.
The app has a COMAND Online section wherein users can read an easy-to-understand guide to the class-leading multimedia onboard computer from Mercedes-Benz.
Load space animations are also available, providing an educational and playful method to demonstrate the various load compartment options. As a sample, users can watch how convenient a washing machine or bicycle fits into the vehicle. The app is downloadable at mercedes-benz.co.uk and at the Apple App Store.
The interior of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class makes use of high quality materials as well as the surfaces that are finely structured. Stylish details can be observed as well and precision workmanship is evident. The interior also offers a large amount of space. All of these different features mean that the B-Class is able to set new standards for the compact class.
Looking closer, one is likely to see that the sitting positions have been more upright. This is, of course, in response to the requests made by its many customers. Without the sliding roof, the maximum headroom in the front is 1,047 mm, making the new B-Class one of the most spacious models for its class. In addition to being more upright, the sitting position is also more ergonomic.
Combined with the fact that the floor in the rear has been lowered, legroom of 976 mm is indeed the best for its segment. This figure shows it is even better than the S-Class or the E-Class.
That the new B-Class has that dynamic quality is highlighted by the concept version. Aside from having a lower height at 1,557 mm, this new version is nearer to the road compared to the previous model by 5 cm. With the height of the seat lowered by 86 mm relative to the road, boarding is made easier. Further, it helps give a better view of the curves present in this model.
Being offered by Mercedes-Benz as an option with the B-Class is the EASY-VARIO-PLUS system. What this system does is allow the interior to be adjusted in order to allow for bulky items to be transported.
One feature of this system is that the rear seats can be adjusted forward or backwards by as much as 140 mm. With this, the volume of the luggage compartment can be increased from 488 liters to 666 liters. In addition, the backrest of the front passenger seat can be folded to the seat cushion thus increasing space as well.

In a far away country, a very long time ago, I promissed our boys "to get a dog when you are older, when mom isn't working any more, when we have a big backyard, when we have lots of nature around us and, when we move to Canada." All these things happened and I am running out of excuses. But still, no dog yet. But our friend Jaci bought one recently. Here is her written attempt to lure me into the –extra-ordinary- world of (crazy) dog people:
My husband and I swore we would not get a dog with three young kids already in tow. Yet here we are, with our zoo (ages 3,6 and 8) and a 5 month old girl puppy-dog whom we adore. We are still keeping it real in our household. She doesn't sleep in our bed and I don't let her lick me on the lips, but I must admit that she is a worthy addition to our family. I like to think the reasons were simple, but the truth is, we discussed it, researched it and tried to talk ourselves out of it all summer. What really inspired me was meeting a dog in the neighbourhood that I really liked; it was this particular breed that drew us in.
I like most dogs, but I wouldn't want to own many of them. Drooly, shedding, stinky, yappy ones do not really appeal to me. That is why we got ourselves a designer dog. She is none of those things, so she fits in perfectly! We found a great Goldendoodle breeder on Vancouver Island, dropped some ridiculous, but so worth it – money and never looked back!
The week the kids went back to school I went with my 3 year old daughter to pick her up at the airport and we started our journey as a family of 6. It was a special day for all of us. My husband ended up feeling as though the void he always felt over the missing (undetermined) fourth baby was finally filled. He crawled in her crate and fall in love right away. As for myself, I have vowed to never be a crazy dog lady. Instead, I resisted the urge to swaddle her in a blankie and focused on crate training. I fell quickly into the usual mom routine – eat-sleep-poop- repeat. It felt like I had another baby, but only for a week or so.
Aside from the expected puppy antics, Sparrow (named after Jack Sparrow, not the bird) is a good dog. We think. She rarely gets into mischief aside from attacking the recycling bin in the pantry, stealing ham out of the kid's sandwiches, or knocking over the odd menstruated garbage bin. House training was kind of a breeze, considering this is what scared me the most.
Now that we are five months in, life with a dog couldn't be better.We are all outside more and much more active as a family. We don't expect our kids to do all that much for the dog, but we hope they learn this over time as they become older and more capable. The work part is up to us and we have to love it. For parents, it is natural to want to satisfy our children's burning desires to have a dog and to then expect them to carry a large part of the responsibility.
My kids are pretty smitten with their dog but that doesn't mean they are ready to hit the backyard with a pooper scooper in tow. Sometimes my son walks her for 4 minutes, but they both come back with a smile, so that is enough in itself. The poop piles in the back yard are multiplying rapidly, and I am not going to lie, it is a chore that none of us have really owned as of yet. I think it is a man job, yes?
Are we good dog owners? Nah. We recently made a New Year's resolution for 2013 that we will finally get that cream 'on her parts' as this is an area that can become irritated in furry dogs (the vet gave it to us 3 months ago). One of these days I will muster up the courage to do it. It has become a bit of a maritial dispute around here. Nobody really wants to touch it!

Wearing the newest and trendiest clothes and accessories does not necessarily translate to a fabulous fashion statement. Most fashion gurus will say that being fashionable is not a direct result of what you wear but how you wear it and if it suits your personality. With so many fashion choices available, women normally will not have a problem looking fabulous. Men, on the other hand, have very limited fashion options to choose from. Nevertheless, a man can increase his fashion prestige through a simple yet significant accessory such as a hat. A man can always top off a simple ensemble with an awesome looking hat and will look like a celebrity right off the covers of GQ magazine. Choosing a hat style to match your personality and style is pretty easy. All you need is a mirror and a few people to give you the encouragement you need.
The best choices for hats are dependent on overall theme and comfort. These should be top priority. When shopping, always remember to check the return policy of the store. In this case, you might be able to return the hat once you see later on that it does not suit you at all.

After a year with practically no rain, we are experiencing wet, wet, wet days. Some rain, some drizzle, and lots of humidity. While I am so thankful for the rain, I wish it would rain several inches and then dry up and then repeat the cycle. So do the dogs. They are miserable and wound up at the same time.
They are refusing to go outside. Even good boy Sawyer had to be carried out this morning. Even though it is fairly dry under the eave of the house, they just do not want to go out. I can't say that I blame them - I would not want to do my business in the rain. But it seems they are fanatics about keeping their feet dry. Except last night when Sawyer spotted something on the fence line and led the pack charging out into the mud for a little barking session.
We've had no walks, either, so they are full of energy. Poor babies. I've been tempted to put on a coat and try to walk them with an umbrella (for me) but I could just see them flipping out in the rain and then having to get them home and dry! We've played a little in the house, but that does not burn energy. Too bad they aren't human children that could be amused with a board game or a big box to turn into a fort!

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation has the potential to cause a significant impact on power system reliability since its total installed capacity is projected to increase at a significant rate. PV generation can be described as an intermittent and variable resource because its production is influenced by ever-changing environmental conditions. The study in this dissertation focuses on the influence of PV generation on trans-mission system reliability. This is a concern because PV generation output is integrated into present power systems at various voltage levels and may significantly affect the power flow patterns. This dissertation applies a probabilistic power flow (PPF) algorithm …

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is supported as any other communication channel such as SMS or Push Notifications. The MMS support is not out of the box in all countries as it may need some level of integration with mobile operator's MMS Centre. The campaign manager leverages a third-party MMS Gateway (currently Mbuni: Open Source MMS Gateway) so that establishing connectivity, typically MM&, with any additional MMC Centre is very straightforward.
The campaign manager handles all the complexity of the assembly of the MMS message, commonly in the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) format. It simply requires text and images as input:
Please, Always check with the Administrator to validate that all necessary MMS connectivity is in place.

You'll know that a lot of the people who work in an industry know each other. They may have worked together before, they meet up in the pub and at other events, and they may even have relationships with people in other businesses. So your employees may know a lot more about your competitors than you do! They will know who is paying well, who is having trouble, what is going on in the market. But this information will not be available to a controlling employer who sees their employees as gofers rather than as useful sources of information. Some employers don't want their employees to use Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook because they don't think they can control what is said about them or they may be poached by other firms. Employees may say things in a pub or in a phone call but a comment on Twitter or Facebook could be seen by absolutely anyone. These are legitimate concerns that your employees could damage your reputation using social media. The fact is, they are online, whether you like it or not and they could do this anyway. Your employees might be saying damaging things about you right now. Wouldn't it be great if you could change this and have your employees saying great things about you online, right now? Wouldn't it be useful if they were representing your company, in a way that can be found by customers who are looking for reliable service? Wouldn't that be powerful? The way to manage your brand reputation is to have a professional relationship with your employees, one built on mutual respect and trust. Such a relationship requires:
- A contract of employment
- Practical conduct policies
- Employees who know what is expected of them in terms of professional behaviour
- Employers who support their employees in career development and fulfilment

Weekend away
I wanted to be a tourist in my own country. We never do that, instead flying overseas (or Tasmania, either way) to look at historic buildings, gorgeous gardens, drink wine and eat cheese. So I googled and googled and googled and ended up with a list easily to fill in 10 days.
We patted sheep - they are soft and curly! Yeah, city girl, I know.
Oh and walked avoiding these critters, hugged trees and gazed at the stars.
Saw the light at the end of the tunnel, before eating some heavenly lavender scones and hitting the MTB trail.
Ate a cheese ball...after trying some more wine and looking at another wonderful garden.
The best bit? Forgetting about fat, health and fitting in exercise. Moving all day long. Eating when hungry, mostly often and a lot. Not having cravings. No mirrors - lucky since I forgot to bring a comb; fingers are a wonderful invention. Forget about goals or plans for where I want to be in 6 months time.
In the car on the way we talked about MizFit's 'Unapologetically Myself'. Leaving everything behind a few hundred kilometres of bitumen, I decided to live it. Be in the moment. Feel comfortable in my skin. Accept all my peculiarities.
It felt amazing. Now the challenge is to carry that feeling forward today, tomorrow and next week.

I have to ask--do you know what kind of bird that is? We don't have those in Georgia!

Steve Burke is becoming the new pastor of Water's Edge in Baltimore!! You're going to love him. Here's a quick bio about Steve. Come and meet him on Tuesday, June 28th, at Gallery Church Patterson Park where we'll share dinner, stories and the celebration of transferring leadership from Sandy Boone to Steve Burke. You're invited!
I live in the Upper Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore with my wife Alyce. We've been married a wonderfully long time and have two grown children. I met Alyce in college and we lived for a long time in Frederick where we raised our family. A few years ago Alyce's job brought us to Baltimore. We love our neighborhood and all the great places to visit and hang out. In addition to my pastoral duties, I work as an electronic engineer. When I can get away I like to play golf – which I do poorly but still enjoy.
Our goal in Baltimore is to build families of neighbors and friends who want to share life together. I hope I can get to know you better and help you experience extraordinary life as a follower of Jesus.

Matlama shines
MASERU – After weeks of waiting, the inaugural edition of the Econet Soccer Spectacular finally came to life last Saturday and it did not disappoint.
Of course, this was especially true for all Matlama fans that danced home as champions but, all around, there was a joyful vibe at Setsoto Stadium as the preseason showpiece — much like spring sunshine — ushered in the summer heaven that is the league season.
There was a refreshing freshness to the whole day — maybe because there was no Bantu or Lioli or maybe because of the attacking football which saw eight goals in three matches — and, in the end, there was a collective thumbs up from fans in attendance.
For them, the Econet Soccer Spectacular had somehow been a long time in coming since it was launched at the start of the month by Econet, the Premier League and Lesotho Football Association to help top-flight clubs raise funds before the new season.
For three weeks, all 14 clubs vied to get into the four-team tournament and for three weeks there was non-stop campaigning on radio and social media.
The results were surprising as Matlama, Majantja, Liphakoe and Linare made the final cut and shock as Bantu and Lioli — the league's current royalty — didn't.
Any doubts, however, were erased by Saturday — by the time fans started streaming in for the 11:00 kick off, the excitement was palpable as followers of Matlama, Majantja, Liphakoe and Linare insisted this was their time to shine.
The tournament's opening game, on paper, was an interesting one.
Matlama, who finished fourth in last season's Econet Premier League, would begin their new era under new coach Thabile Secker against Majantja — the newly-promoted Mohale's Hoek side who were league champions in 1995 but hadn't been in the top-flight since 2012.
The difference in quality, however, was quickly visible.
While Majantja looked half asleep, Matlama were fresh as the early morning breeze and breezed into an early lead.
By the end of the game it was 4-0 as Tse Putsoa', who have designs on winning the league title this season, showed a gulf in class between themselves and Majantja who were playing their first competitive game under their new South African coach Ramoshoeu Kabelo Malapane.
On the evidence of the clash Malapane has work to do before Majantja kick-off their Econet Premier League campaign against Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) on September 15.
Matlama looked sharper and, filled with Lesotho internationals, 'Tse Putsoa' looked more comfortable on the big stage.
There was no time to catch any breath as the second semi-final followed quickly afterward as fallen giants Linare took the field to face Liphakoe.
It was a closer encounter between two sides that finished ninth and tenth in the league last season, but it was Leribe's Tse Tala' who prevailed 2-0 over their Quthing challengers.
As fans waited for the final, there was genuine intrigue as to whether Linare would upset Matlama in a throwback finale to the good old days when 'Tse Tala' and 'Tse Putsoa' were Lesotho's giants.
Once again, however, Matlama were too strong.
'Tse Putsoa' sealed a 2-0 win to claim the first-ever Econet Soccer Spectacular title – another historic moment for the country's most successful club.
Secker's side looked especially potent in attack.
One of Matlama's main problems last season was a lack of goalscoring. Despite an attacking department that included Phafa Tšosane, Mabuti Potloane, Motebang Sera and Jane Thaba-Ntšo, 'Tse Putsoa' only scored 32 goals in the league, the fewest total of last year's top four sides.
By scoring six goals in one day, Matlama showed signs of evolution under Secker.
Another reason for their impressive display is the strike-force has had time to gel.
Lebajoa Mosehlenyane, Lehlomela Ramabele and Katleho Moleko all moved to Pitso Ground in January and while Mosehlenyane blossomed into a valuable weapon during Matlama's run to the Lesotho National Insurance Group (LNIG) Top 8 trophy in April, his fellow new-boys struggled.
Last Saturday, the side's penetration came from all angles.
It all made Secker very pleased. "I am satisfied with way we played because the players played according to our game plan and stuck to instructions," he said.
"What is important for us is being a unit when playing and attacking. I am really proud of the performance from the players and our approach in general," he added.
While one can argue that, in Majantja and Linare, Matlama faced sides that may end up as mid-table fodder in this year's Econet Premier League campaign, their attacking intent and structure were still there for all to see.
Secker's side looked organised and aggressive and, if the weekend's performance is anything to go by, they are credible bets to challenge for the league title and defend their LNIG Top 8 crown.
It is a positive feeling Secker said he hopes his team will carry into the new season which for 'Tse Putsoa', ironically, starts against Linare on September 16 at the Maputsoe DiFA Stadium.
As for the Econet Soccer Spectacular, it is hopefully here to stay.

Suzy Davies AM has signed up to Child Rescue Alert at an event hosted in Wales by Dr Kay Swinburne MEP and the charity Missing People, and is urging others to come on board as well.
The Child Rescue Alert is part of the Europe-wide Amber Alert system which exists to spread details of missing children whose lives are thought to be in danger as quickly as possible via phones, apps, social media and business networks, as well as traditional news channels.
One of the first times it was used was in the tragic case of Welsh schoolgirl April Jones. Since then the system has been enhanced and over 315000 members of the public have signed up to receive alerts. On that occasion April could not be saved, but the child alerting systems around the world have been credited with locating children and saving lives on a regular basis. April's parents, Coral and Paul, are ambassadors for the charity and spoke movingly at the event.
Speaking at the event, Coral Jones said, "We're pleased to join Dr Kay Swinburne MEP and her guests this evening to promote Child Rescue Alert in Wales. Today, we're asking everyone to sign up to Child Rescue Alerts to help ensure no other parents experience the pain we feel as a result of the tragic ending to the search for our daughter April. With your help we can make sure the next time a child is taken or in danger we can bring them home safely."
Dr Kay Swinburne MEP said, "I too am delighted to support this campaign and would encourage more people throughout Wales to sign up as soon as possible.
"The more individuals, charities and businesses that sign up to this system the better as the wider the network the more likely it will be that high risk missing children can be found quickly and reunited with their family."
The campaign is backed in Wales by a number of organisations including Admiral Insurance and the Western Mail.
Suzy Davies said: "The Child Rescue Alert system aims to help save more children's lives. However, the more support that we can get for this the better.
"Ultimately I would like to see every smart phone and tablet in Wales with the app installed.
"People can sign up themselves so that they will be one of the individuals alerted when a child is in danger – and they can send on the message to their network of contacts by text and social media.
"Companies, organisations, clubs and schools can all get involved too. The more people signed up, the quicker information can get out, the more children we may save."
Craig Lawton, who is standing for the Welsh Conservatives in Swansea West, has also signed up.
Mr Lawton said: "I have the app on my phone now and I would urge others to do the same.
"If a child or vulnerable person goes missing in the morning, it can sometimes be hours before the news reaches a Wales-wide audience on the news that evening.
"However with the Child Rescue Alert everyone who has installed it will be alerted as soon as possible and asked to keep an eye out or report anything suspicious they might see."
