You are going to do one report on a specific topic. You should think about the report in the following context: Suppose you are an industry analyst who has had the responsibility for a specific topic. You have just found out that at the end of the year you are getting a promotion and that a new person is going to take over responsibility for your industry. The only problem is that you are not going to get to meet her — in January when she arrives you will already be off to your new position in New Zealand. You have been given the task of writing this report as a way of conveying your knowledge of the industry to the new analyst.
This topic might be a company or an industry, an industry within a country or city, a developing legal issue, or a product category. Here is a list of industry sectors that you might find useful; here is the list of student projects from Fall 2008. Just talk to me when you think you have a topic. A further requirement is the topic have current, at least weekly, developments; that is, new information is being revealed (not just found) every week. Mechanical calculator manufacturing would be a bad choice for the topic with current developments. The reason for this requirement is that information tracking is quite boring (and pointless) if nothing is currently happening related to the topic.
The report should instruct the reader about the resources that you used and a sense of how you used these resources. You should discuss the Web resources that you used for tracking the topic and for finding background information about the topic; these form the two broad divisions of your report, the status section, and the on-going developments section. These two sections will be of varying importance to varying students; some topics will be more "status"-heavy; others will have more importance on the "on-going developments" section. This report should include instructions that a person would follow if he/she wanted to have the same information delivered to him/her in coming months and wanted to focus on the same Web resources that you focused on when compiling the report. You should also convey a sense of the process that you went through in collecting the information. This research resource information should focus equally on resources that were helpful and those that were less helpful in the compiling of the report.
There will also be a third section to this report containing background, process-related information. This section will contain a listing of the blog entries that you have written plus any research notes that you might have compiled while constructing the report. The research notes page is for your personal use only; I will not be "grading" it per se. It is a holding section for information that you may or may not move to other pages for the final report. This is all that I will say in this about this page.
(Note: In your wiki you will also have a series of blogs because of the "Blog Posts" assignment you worked on throughout the semester. You should create a menu choice called "Blogs" which opens a page that links to each of your blogs. These blogs will not be graded as part of the term project.)
The focus of this report is different than your usual report; I am most interested in the information sources and how to use them and less in the actual content that you report. The content that you report ends up acting as evidence that you actually used the information resources. But what I'm really interested in are the sources, your discussion and analysis of them, and how to use them. Your reporting on information resources can be done in at least a couple of ways:
- You might have a separate "Information Resources" section.
- You might have information resources for your status section described within that section and for the on-going developments section described within that section.
In any case you are free to choose whatever way you want for describing the information resources.
The report itself
This report is going to be written as a wiki within the wikidot site; as you might have noticed, this is the same site that this course Web site resides on. In 2007 we used a different host that did not provide such good service. Some students moved to this site at the end of that semester with much success. In Fall 2008 we used wikidot all semester for the course site and for all student projects with great success. For the last two years I used this site for a database workshop that I taught, and I was very happy with my experience with it. You are going to write this report as a private wiki (that only you and your professor can see) until the end of the semester at which time you will make the site public. The third class period of this semester will be dedicated to teaching you how to work with this site.
Here are the things that you need to do with your wiki; this list will be evolving during the semester. (If you see that I have forgotten something, please edit this list.)
- Become a member of wikidot
- Create a site of your very own
- Name it (with no spaces) bit330uniqname. If your uniqname is gwbush, then your wiki would be named bit330gwbush.
- You might find useful a series of videos that I made about creating a wiki in wikidot.
- Update your information in the list of student information.
- Modify the start page so that it properly describes your project.
- Add a "Assignments" page. Leave it blank for now.
- Add a blog:_template page.
- Go to the student-list-2009 page and add your information to it.
Status reports
You will have to turn in three status reports during the semester. The idea behind these is to make sure that you're on the right track, and that you have the right idea for the project so that you aren't surprised at the end when you see your grade. I didn't do these last year and I have added them at the request of students who took that class.
- status-report-1 — October 5
- status-report-2 — October 21
- status-report-3 — November 23
How to organize your project wiki
Think about the context of this wiki. It is being used as an educational resource for an incoming analyst; you, the author, is the outgoing analyst who is instructing the incoming analyst about this topic. So most of the content will be organized in a way that you think would help the incoming analyst learn about the topic. At the same time, this is a class and you want to impress me about your knowledge about the skills, techniques, and technologies that you have learned during the semester.
Here are some insights into how I think you should think about organizing your wiki:
- The wiki home page should provide a guide as to what can be found on the site. It should be easily scannable. It should also provide links into the various parts of the site.
- Your site should probably have the following sections:
- Background information
- An evaluation of the resources you used
- Recent current events — something like a timeline, a series of blog entries; something that gives the incoming analyst an idea of what's been going on with the company recently.
- Instructions on how to keep up with ongoing current events
- Your blogroll will be accessible within the site
- An evaluation of the RSS feeds that are in the blogroll, including reliability but also what the user can expect to find in each of the feeds
- Descriptions (for me, the professor) about what techniques and technologies you used, how you used them, what they resulted in
- Background information
- The menu system should help the user navigate the site.
Don't forget that this site will be made public at the end of the semester.
How you will be graded
You will be graded on many different dimensions at the end of this semester.
- Basics
- Add your information to the list of student wikis.
- The site should not be edited after the project is turned in.
- Sources
- I will definitely be looking for useful information resources that you used — whatever types of information resources that we have learned (or will learn) to use this semester, I'll be looking for evidence that you learned how to get useful information using those tools.
- If you want to show off, then show off: Use Yahoo Pipes for something; subscribe to some page monitoring service; subscribe to NewsIsFree; see what Blogpulse can tell you; tell me how 2RSS helped you — generally, don't forget about all of the resources that I have dug up for each of the classes. See if any of them are helpful and describe for me what you find out.
- Even if an information resource ends up being not useful, you should still document it. It would be useful for someone to know that the information resource can be ignored and it would help me (and your grade) to understand what you have tried to use (even if you don't end up using them).
- Types of sources
- Web pages
- Web directory entries
- Blogroll (containing relevant RSS feeds)
- Deep Web resources
- Mailing lists
- Page monitors
- Special RSS tools (pipes, etc.)
- Tag site
- Podcasts & videos
- Images
- Resource evaluation
- An evaluation of each resource's validity
- Appropriate background content
- Appropriate current events content
- Information specialist tutorial
- Describe how someone might get up to speed on the topic
- What sites to use
- How to find new sites that might appear after you have left your position
- This might involve using a web search alert, following specific RSS feeds, etc.
- Appropriate use of the wiki software
- Informative, focused start page
- Useful top and side menus
- Tagged pages throughout your site
- Appropriately structured wiki pages (not too long, many links throughout the page)
- It wouldn't make sense to just have two or three pages on the whole site. The whole idea of wiki software is to allow useful "chunking" and linking of information.
Resource factors
For each one of the resources (useful or not), the student should at least discuss the following:
- Name: The name of the service or resource
- Access: How a person accesses the service. For an RSS feed, you would want to list the Web page where you found the RSS feed (maybe it's the page that lists all of the Web site's RSS feeds) as well as the RSS feed itself. For a Web resource, you would just want to list the URL.
- Frequency: For example, how often did you have the email alert sent, or how often did the RSS feed have new information, or how often was it necessary or useful to access the Web resource?
- Information: The type of information this resource provided for you. If it would be useful, you might show what typical results look like or list 5-10 typical items that the query would return. (Again, only list this information if it would be useful.)
- Query: The way that you got the resource to give you the information that you wanted.
- Evaluation: How useful this Web site was compared to all of the other resources. Use a 10 (high) to 1 (low) scale where 5 means it was of average usefulness compared to other resources that you tried out this semester.
- Miscellaneous: Discuss anything here that you feel would be of interest related to this resource.
How I will arrive at your project grades
- I have a grading rubric (basics, sources, resource evaluation, appropriate background content, appropriate current events content, information specialist tutorial, general organization, extras) that I used to guide my grading. I have a separate page for each of you that I will fill out.
- Among last year's projects, the following were the few that really stood out for me:
Points to clarify
- Resource evaluation
- You don't evaluate "Web resources" (as one group), you evaluate specific Web sites separately.
- Suppose you were doing a report on a specific company. One way to evaluate resources would be to list and describe Web sites that have business related news. Better evaluations would have links to coverage of that specific industry and company, maybe via a search of that Web site, maybe via a specific column or writer at that Web site. Yes, this is more work; yes, this would mean that you would link to fewer Web sites; however, it would also mean that the links that you provide would be more useful to the reader. Simply providing a long list of business Web sites isn't that difficult or useful — do something more for me that I couldn't do simply with a quick Google search.
- Don't forget to tell me about those Web search engine queries and blog search engine queries that were most useful for you and that would be most useful for the analyst in the future for finding certain types of information. This is quite important.
- When telling me about Web directories, you should point to the categories within the directories (if any) that you found that are related to your project. Even if you don't find the information in the category useful because you already know of the sites, you should still link to it because the reader would know what you considered and where to look in the future for updates.
- You don't evaluate "Tag-based sites", you evaluate digg or furl or delicious or whatever. You might group the evaluations of these three sites together because they are all tag-based sites, but you don't evaluate them as one entity.
- When telling me about an RSS/blog search tool, you should provide examples of the queries that you used (and links to their results if possible) when telling me whether or not the tool is useful.
- You don't evaluate "Web resources" (as one group), you evaluate specific Web sites separately.
- Background information
- There are two main points to the background information section. First, to provide useful background information. (Shocking!) Second, to provide a series of places to go in order to read more information; an annotated list of such readings would be quite useful and appropriate.
- Custom search engine
- You should list the sites included in your custom search engine in order to give the user some idea of what he/she is getting. On the Google Custom Search home page for your CSE it will list a few of the sites but it will not list all of them if you have more than five or six.
- Interface decisions
- I'm not a big fan of using images in an index of other pages; they simply take up too much room and require too much scrolling (1, 2).
- If you have a long page that requires a lot of scrolling, think about how you might break this up into smaller chunks. One way to know if it's too long: think about how you might tag the page. If you want to apply tags to specific parts of the page that don't apply to other parts of the page, then it's too long.
- Current events
- Don't just describe what happened — link to articles that provide more details than the simple summary that you provide. You should provide a short summary — show me that you thought about the event you're linking to.
- Information specialist tutorial: This should be a fairly major section of the report. Think of how you would teach another BBA who (horror of horrors) didn't take this class and who isn't familiar with your topic but who is Web-savvy:
- What Web sites should they start with?
- What search tools should they use to find more sites in the future? What hints can you provide about useful queries? Could you put together a custom search engine to make it easier to search these sites?
- How useful are social sites? Are any specific tags more or less useful? Which specific sites did you find most useful?
- For Web directories, did you find them useful? What categories did you find related to your topic?
- For news sites and blog search engines, did you find any categories that were useful? What searches do you suggest they use? Could you put together a Yahoo Pipe to help combine these queries to make them easier to find?
- Did you find useful images at any of the image search engines? What queries were most useful?
- For podcasts and videos, were there any channels that had useful content on a related industry or on your company?
- Did any alternative search engines provide information specifically tailored to your topic? What were they, and how were they helpful?
- And so on, and so on.
Fantastic examples
In the following I list example pages within project wikis that really stood out as great examples of what I was hoping to see.
- Home page
- Software as a Service: good menus (top and side), good intro text, other useful information readily available
- SEMCOG Transit Panel: easily scannable, much information available in the top half of the page, good intro text.
- Alternative energy: easily scannable information on page, usefully organized side menus (top menus could have been better).
- Resource evaluation
- Background information
- Alternative energy: notice the introductory text, the links to further readings and resources (of all types), and a pertinent video to kick things off.
- Start-ups: some introductory text, and links with descriptions to further readings and resources (of all types).
- Tutorial
- Software as a Service
- Social Networking: an absolutely fantastic way to structure this information (for this particular project).
- Blogroll
- Integration of Yahoo Pipe output into wiki
- Start-ups: this is a great example of using the Feed module to integrate an RSS feed — in this case, from a Yahoo pipe — directly into a wiki page.
- News
- Software as a Service: for this type of project, with lots of sub-topics, this is a useful formatting strategy
- Apple Inc.: useful summaries and organizational strategy for this project
- Investment banking: I like this style of writing a summary and providing links to a couple of related stories below it. (I'm indifferent to the pics, especially as used in the index because it makes it too long.)
- Site design tips and tricks
- Disney: this wasn't part of the project, but it (apparently!) is something that interests Susan, so she wrote up a bunch of tips on using wikidot.
- Custom Search Engine
- Mortgage Industry: included all the information that I need to understand the CSE.
- Alternative energy: interesting way of integrating the CSE into the site
- Start-ups: puts CSE high on home page and provides a useful link to an explanation of what it's actually searching.
- Providing information about a resource type that ends up not being useful:

Browse all regions in Bahamas
About Bahamas
The Bahamas archipelago consists of more than 2,000 individual islands and cays. This diverse and welcoming Caribbean country offers rich ecological diversity, stunning natural beauty, and of course, beautiful beaches. Interestingly, much of the country's land surface, specifically its areas of distinctive pink sand, is made up of the tops of coral reefs that formed tens of thousands of years ago.
Some of the most popular destinations within the Bahamas include:
- Grand Bahama: If you're here for ecotourism, you'll spend most of your time on unspoiled, pristine Grand Bahama. Botanical gardens, underwater limestone caves, and a network of national parks are just a few of the dazzling attractions you'll find here.
- Paradise Island: If you're coming for a Bahamas wedding or a Bahamas honeymoon, you'll find out just how accurately named this corner of the country is.
- Bimini: The stuff of legend, Bimini is said to have everything from magical waters with astounding healing properties and the Fountain of Youth to the ruins of Atlantis.
- Nassau: Located on New Providence Island, the country's colorful capital offers outstanding dining, world-class shopping, and adventurous nightlife. It is also where most of the action is during their festival season.
- The Abacos: These islands lie just east of Grand Bahama, and are perfect for those seeking to get away from the thick crowds and relax in the open air and sunshine.
If you want to take part in a uniquely Bahamian cultural experience, time your visit to coincide with the nation's biggest festival, the Junkanoo. It is held annually on Boxing Day, December 26, and continues on New Year's Day.
Whether you're coming with your spouse or partner, bringing the family along or touring the Bahamas with a group of friends, staying in a vacation rental is ideal for your accommodations. From beachfront villas to spacious condos, vacation rentals offer all the amenities and comforts of home and more privacy than you'll get at a hotel.
If you want to go on to other sun-soaked destinations, the Bahamas are very close to Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the Florida Keys.

To ensure compliance under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504) and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (Title II), both of which are enforced by the U.S. Department of Education (ED), Office for Civil Rights (OCR), schools must maintain websites accessible to individuals with disabilities. While the ED has not developed specific requirements governing websites for educational entities, OCR has issued guidance on effective communication and published resolution agreements with universities and school districts that serve as helpful guidelines for ensuring required website accessibility.
Section 504 prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating against a qualified individual with a disability on the basis of that disability. 34 C.F.R. § 104.4. Discrimination under Section 504 includes denying a person with a disability the opportunity to equally participate in or benefit from an aid, benefit, or service. Id.
Title II also prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities, and applies to all state and local government entities regardless of whether they receive federal funds. 34 C.F.R. § 104.4. Additionally, Title II regulations include specific communication requirements stating that public entities must take appropriate steps to ensure that communications with applicants, participants, members of the public, and companions with disabilities are as effective as communications with others. 28 C.F.R. § 35.160.
Though Section 504 and Title II differ in their requirements, generally, a violation of Section 504 will also result in a violation of Title II. However, OCR has indicated that it typically does not find discrimination under Section 504 related to a school's communications with individuals with disabilities where the school complies with Title II's effective communication regulations.1 The requirement under Title II that communication with individuals with disabilities must be as effective as communication with individuals without disabilities (along with the general nondiscrimination requirements of Section 504 and Title II) has been interpreted by OCR to include communication via a school's website.1 To help ensure compliance, schools should adopt a web accessibility policy and provide notice of the policy to the school community.
OCR has noted that the use of standards such as Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 508) or the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines can be helpful in assisting schools in developing an accessibility policy and gauging the accessibility of their existing websites.2 Recent investigations demonstrate that OCR utilizes Section 508 as a guideline for determining website accessibility.3 However, the use of such standards does not guarantee compliance with Section 504 or Title II. Upon adoption of a website accessibility policy, schools should also provide training on the policy to staff responsible for electronic communication content development. 4
Common website accessibility issues highlighted in recent OCR investigations offer additional insight regarding areas that schools must consider to ensure compliance. Examples of some common website accessibility issues include: 5
- Lack of alternative text on images- Assistive technologies (such as screen reading software and refreshable Braille displays) utilized by people who are blind, have low vision, or have other disabilities that affect their ability to read a computer display cannot translate images into speech or Braille. Therefore, images on websites must be accompanied by a text equivalent.
- Documents posted in an inaccessible format- PDF documents are often not accessible by people who need to use screen readers, text enlargement programs, and/or different color and font settings to read computer displays. Documents must contain embedded text either by converting from an electronic source or applying optical character resolution so that screen readers are able to copy or extract the document's text.
- Lack of captions on videos- All videos should be captioned. Captions should provide a verbatim, textual equivalent of the auditory information and should be synchronized so that a person reading captions can watch the speakers on the video and associate the speech with relevant body language. Schools should be wary of using the default YouTube captions, as they may be incomplete or inaccurate.
- Lack of audio descriptions in videos- If significant information that is presented visually within a video is not discernable from the dialogue or audio track, audio descriptions (verbal descriptions of the actions and images in the video) must be included in order to allow individuals who are blind or have low vision to access the information.
- Lack of access to control panels on videos- When a video's control panel (play, stop, volume, etc.) can only be seen when the user's mouse hovers over the video, keyboard users may not be able to see or interact with the controls. Control panels must be accessible by keyboard users and must be properly identified to allow those using assistive technology to operate the controls.
- Improperly structured data tables- In order for data tables to be appropriately accessible to students using screen readers, the table must have the proper markup designation in HyperText Markup Language (HTML). This allows users of screen readers to hear the column and row headers spoken to them as they navigate through each cell of a data table.
- Improperly formatted and labelled form fields- Forms should allow people utilizing assistive technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form. For example, if the first box of a form asks for a student's first name, the words "first name" should be associated with the input box; otherwise, someone using assistive technology would not know what information should be typed in the box.
- Improper contrast between background and foreground colors- Color and font settings on each web page must be able to be manipulated so that users with low vision can make pages readable for themselves.

Pia Toscano: 'This Time' Video!
Check out the video for Pia Toscano's new single, "This Time"!
The 22-year-old American Idol alum has had quite a year – she tried out for the show on August 3 of 2010 and recently reflected on the experience.
"I was just your average girl with a dream.. I decided to chase that dream with the support of my family," Pia wrote on her WhoSay account.
"My father took the day off of work and waited patiently in line with me and over 10,000 other people for the American Idol audition. My life has drastically changed in just a year. Never give up! Thank you American Idol for changing my life, and thank you mommy and daddy for believing in me :) August 3, 2010.. The day that changed my life," Pia wrote.

What Is Atrophic Vaginitis (Vaginal Atrophy)? What Causes Atrophic Vaginitis?
- Atrophic Vaginitis involves redness, itching, and dryness of the vagina. Over time there may be narrowing and shrinkage of the vaginal opening and the vagina itself.
- According to Medilexicon's medical dictionary:
Atrophic Vaginitis is a thinning and atrophy of the vaginal epithelium, usually resulting from diminished estrogen stimulation; a common occurrence in postmenopausal women.
- This problem happens after menopause in up to 75% of all women, and can also happen to some women after childbirth. A large number of postmenopausal women (who are not using topical estrogen) have at least some degree of vaginal atrophy; however, many women do not actively ask that medical attention be paid to this, possibly because it is naturally caused, or because of the taboo that still exists surrounding aging and sexuality.
What are the ,?
- A symptom is something the patient senses and describes, while a sign is something other people, such as the doctor notice. For example, drowsiness may be a symptom while dilated pupils may be a sign.
- A woman may experience one or several of these symptoms of atrophic vaginitis, to varying degrees: vaginal dryness, pain during sex (dyspareunia), changes in appearance of the labia and vagina (it looks paler and thinner), irritation when wearing certain clothes such as tight jeans or when doing certain activities, an increase in urinary tract infections.
- Urinary symptoms include painful urination, blood in the urine, increased frequency of urination, incontinence, and increased likelihood and occurrence of infections.
What are the causes of Atrophic Vaginitis?
- The most common cause of this condition is the decrease in estrogen after menopause; although, it can be caused by other conditions such as those requiring treatment with anti-estrogen drugs.
- A woman's ovaries make estrogen until menopause, which happens at about 55 years of age. Before menopause, estrogen in a woman's bloodstream helps keep the skin of the vagina healthy and stimulates vaginal secretions. After menopause, when the ovaries stop making estrogen, the walls of the vagina become thin, and vaginal secretions are lessened. Similar changes can happen to some women after childbirth, but in this case these changes are temporary and less severe.
- Medications or hormones used to decrease estrogen levels in women, as part of the treatment for breast cancer, endometriosis, fibroids, or infertility can lead to atrophic vaginitis. Also, radiation treatment to the pelvic area or chemotherapy , severe stress, depression, or rigorous exercise can be causes.
- Atrophic vaginitis may occur in younger women who have had surgery to remove their ovaries. Some women develop the condition immediately after childbirth or while breastfeeding, since estrogen levels are lower at these times.
- The vagina can also become further irritated from soaps, laundry detergents, lotions, perfumes, or douches. Certain medications, smoking, tampons, and condoms may also cause or worsen vaginal dryness.
Diagnosing Atrophic Vaginitis
- It is important not to assume a diagnosis of atrophic vaginitis in the postmenopausal patient who presents with urogenital complaints. A patient history should include attention to exogenous agents that may cause or further aggravate symptoms.
- Perfumes, powders, soaps, deodorants, panty liners, spermicides and lubricants often contain irritant compounds. In addition, tight-fitting clothing and long-term use of perineal pads or synthetic materials can worsen atrophic symptoms.
- Atrophic epithelium appears pale, smooth and shiny. Often, inflammation with patchy erythema, petechiae and increased friability may be present. External genitalia should be examined for diminished elasticity, turgor of skin, sparsity of pubic hair, dryness of labia, vulvar dermatoses, vulvar lesions and fusion of the labia minora.
- Ecchymoses and minor lacerations at peri-introital and posterior fourchette may also recur after coitus or during a speculum examination. Vaginal examination or sexual activity can result in vaginal bleeding or spotting. Vulvar signs of irritation caused by urinary incontinence may also be identified on pelvic examination.
What are the treatment options for Atrophic Vaginitis?
- Before self treating your symptoms, a doctor must determine if they are caused by decreased estrogen, an infection, irritant, or other reason.
- If symptoms are mild, they may be relieved by using a water-soluble vaginal lubricant during intercourse. Do not use petroleum jelly, mineral oil, or other oils. These may increase the chance of infection and may damage latex condoms or diaphragms.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be taken as a tablet, gel, patch or implant, which supplies oestrogen to the whole body. It is effective although there is debate about the risks of taking it in the long-term. Localised HRT is another option - vaginal tablets, creams, rings and pessaries can be taken internally to supply oestrogen to the vaginal area only.
- Regular exercise is important as it keeps blood flow and genital circulation high. Experimenting with your diet can also prove effective. Soy isoflavones (plant oestrogens), linseeds, fish oils, and black cohosh have been found to be helpful.
- Sexual activity is a healthful prescription for postmenopausal women who have a substantially estrogenized vaginal epithelium. It has been shown to encourage vaginal elasticity and pliability, and the lubricative response to sexual stimulation. Women who participate in sexual activity report fewer symptoms of atrophic vaginitis and, on vaginal examination, have less evidence of stenosis and shrinkage in comparison with sexually inactive women.
Preventing Atrophic Vaginitis
- Use of vaginal estrogen before the condition becomes severe is appropriate. Regular sexual activity may be helpful. A water soluble vaginal lubricant can be helpful in mild cases.
- Increasingly, topical treatment (vaginal tablets or cream) based on low dose of estriol are used to stimulate the vaginal epithelium proliferation.

The Summit focuses on the key trends impacting the utility scale sector and what they mean for the future of the industry.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 14, 2014
Infocast, the leading business intelligence and networking events producer in the solar industry, has announced the annual Utility Scale Solar Summit will be returning for the seventh year. The summit is scheduled for September 9-11, 2014 and will be located in sunny San Diego, CA at the convention center.
With a shift to smaller projects and the approach of the ITC deadline, many pressing questions arise within the solar industry. It will be necessary to find solutions to meet the challenges of developing the next wave of utility scale projects, to prepare for the post-2016 ITC, and to get projects financed and completed. The growth potential of utility scale solar is continuous but will be tied directly to the industry's ability to reduce system cost and adapt.
The Utility Scale Solar Summit is the primary business hub where decision–makers meet each year to move the utility scale solar sector forward. This networking event is the place where the entire utility scale solar community gathers to get the latest insights into the market and to meet the key players. The Summit focuses on the key trends impacting the utility scale sector and what they mean for the future of the industry. This year the summit is shaping up to be even bigger than before, with over sixty prominent speakers and hundreds of industry leaders in attendance. The attendees are provided the rare opportunity to engage in robust networking and deal-making for which this summit is well known. Previously, the director of sales Peter Schenck at Jinko Solar revered it as, "One of the best networking events of the year!"
Attend this event to connect with leading utility-scale solar project developers, investors, lenders, utilities, equipment suppliers, construction contractors, EPCs and other key industry players in order to gather insight and new perspectives within the utility scale solar industry.

TV is the favorite pastime of a lot of us geeks. We love to get on top of latest movies, be they Sci-Fi, Action, Thrillers or Horror, or any other genre. Along with our favorite TV shows, this hobby constitutes a major portion of both our entertainment and identity. Fortunately, you need not stay glued to your couch to keep yourself up to date with the latest episodes and movies. There are apps for that!
One such app is PlayBox HD. Alternatively called CinemaBox, this app is a wonderful way to keep track of the latest occurrences in your favorite TV show or get the latest installment of your most favorite movie series delivered right to your Smartphone.
What's up with PlayBox?
PlayBox app is really the best in its genre. The perfectly arranged options and delightful interface are just some reasons PlayBox is awesome. The bifurcation of movie recommendations into the "New" and "Popular" subheads is one of the best things about the app. Apart from this, the app also lets you customise it as you require.
Getting to the collection, the number of titles is huge. There is something for the fan of every genre, actor or director. TV Shows, Documentaries, Anime and Cartoon lovers won't be disappointed either. The synopsis is sufficiently detailed for each movie, the genres are well indicated and so is a lot of other vital information. Plus, with multiple resolutions and even dubbed versions, there is no dearth of options for people of all sorts of interests.
The best way to use PlayBox
It is best to pair your PlayBox HD app with an internet video downloader though. This is because the usual route of download is via the Android Downloader, which can be painfully slow at times. With an app like TubeMate or Vidmate to download content off of PlayBox, you can be sure the movies you love watching are going to be ready in your smartphone in a jiffy.
How to Get PlayBox for your Android
To get PlayBox HD, you need to get the app's APK file. This is an easy. All you need is an internet connection. Simply Google "PlayBox APK" and you will find a truckload of results with websites offering you the latest APK to download for free. Get the file and tap it to install.
For those who are installing apps outside of the Android Play Store for the first time, you might need to enable apps from Unknown Sources, since Android doesn't allow them by default due to security concerns. You can do this by going to "Settings" in the home menu. You should find a "Security" tab if you scroll a bit. Enter the tab. Look for "Unknown Sources" and toggle the button next to it to light it up. This will allow all apks of all sources to be installed as apps on your Android.
We hope this short exposition helped you. PlayBox is really a great app. For a proud geek like me, it is a great way of staying on top of my stuff even as I go about with work and school and everything in between. Do let me know if i can help you with anything.
