As part of IT's Service Excellence Commitment, we've pledged to regularly review statistics on response time, resolution time, and user satisfaction. We do that weekly, and we'd like to share some of that data with the community. Now that we're settling into the Spring semester, let's take a look back at the Fall 2014 semester.
Top Issues and Submission Methods
We had two big questions we were looking to answer at the end of the semester. What are the main issues everyone is reporting to us? And how are they reporting it?
By a pretty healthy margin, we're getting the most calls for Hardware problems on campus. This includes most any computer problem that's not software related. If you were to call the Help Desk about a slow computer, or a printer, or a peripheral, these are all categorized under Hardware, so this makes a lot of sense. Our next largest category, "Online Systems", encompasses a few different large services, such as ECmail, Canvas, Median, and Spacebook. So, it's no surprise that's a huge category!
And how do people prefer to report problems to us? Overwhelmingly, our tickets still come in by phone. Since we introduced our Self-Service ticketing, those have also become very popular! A good number of people also prefer to simply walk into the Help Desk and report their problem in person! Of course, much of that depends on circumstance, what the problem is, and where you happen to be at the time.
Total IT Tickets
From 8/25 to 12/16, IT took in 5,489 tickets! This includes walk-ups to the Help Desk, phone calls, email requests, and self-service initiated tickets. As well as tickets IT staff entered for work we were asked to do. That's an average of just over 343 every week!
Response Times
Over four months, and factoring in business hours, we averaged 13.5 hours to first response. Importantly, this is an average over all IT tickets – not every kind of ticket requires an immediate customer email, and this does not mean that we weren't working on the ticket inside of those 13 hours. One of our departmental goals, however, has been to increase our customer communication levels, so we're looking for this number to go down.
We averaged just under 22 hours until resolution, which again, is across all departments of IT. You'll also see some long-term project-based tickets listed below.
Average business time to first response: 0 day(s) 13 hour(s) 32 minute(s)
Average business time to resolution: 0 day(s) 21 hour(s) 48 minute(s)
When you've emailed email@example.com, we do our best to answer you as quickly as possible! We found a median realtime response time of 2.9 hours, and a median business hours response time of 0.9 hours.
This is good, but the median represents the middle value of all the highest and lowest values. What we also found, though, was a great degree of variability outside of that median, so the highest and lowest values were quite far off from the median value. In other words, a lot of people got responses in as little as an hour, but a lot of people were left waiting between 12 and 18 hours as well. This was an interesting finding for us, and we're working to improve this for this semester and beyond.
Customer Satisfaction
After you've called the Help Desk or sent us an email, we frequently will follow up with you with a survey request. These are especially important for us as they help us better understand how we're doing and help us learn how to improve when we don't meet your expectations.
So how did we do? We had a total of 396 survey responses over the semester, and 314 of them rated their experience as Very Satisfactory! 62 rated Satisfactory, 10 Neutral, and 6 Unsatisfactory. Only 4 people rated their experience as Very Unsatisfactory. We followed up with people when appropriate, but each time there was a negative survey, we discussed it, and tried to find a takeaway to improve.
2.5% / 2.5% / 95%
Our email surveys come separately from Help Desk ticket surveys, so those aren't included above. For those, we got a total of 190 responses, and only 3 rated their experience as Unsatisfactory!
1.6% / 98.4%
IT takes these statistics very seriously, and we're looking forward to being able to share more at the end of the Spring semester! If you have any comments or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below, @EmersonIT, or email@example.com!

letter to editor stock image
Illinois credit unions and small banks help our local communities grow and thrive. The ability of these local financial institutions to help their communities is being challenged by regulatory restrictions. In response, a bipartisan group of senators has put together a common-sense piece of legislation that better allows credit unions and small banks to serve consumers. The common-sense fixes found within S. 2155, the bipartisan Economic Growth Bill, would help strengthen Main Street while retaining tough protection for consumers from Wall Street.
The regulatory relief provided in this bill empowers credit unions, the original consumer protectors, to more efficiently serve their members. In Illinois, regulatory burdens cost credit unions an estimated $207 million a year. This results in an average cost of $138 per member household. A change included in the bill would help reduce costs, introducing approximately $20.3 million of capital into local Illinois markets. Another positive provision of this bill includes additional protection against elder financial abuse for seniors. The bill also pushes the Treasury to study ways to better combat cybercrime and its associated impacts. This is particularly important due to recent disruptive data breaches, which inflict significant costs on credit unions.
Illinois needs this regulatory relief for local small businesses to better serve our communities. The S. 2155 bill has passed in the Senate and is now up for voting in the House of Representatives. Please contact your district representative to vote "yes."

Trump keeps promises
Many reporters and Hollywood celebrities attack President Trump. Let's look at Trump's record. Unlike many politicians, Trump keeps his campaign promises.
Promise: Make America Work Again
1. Unemployment is 4.1 percent — the lowest in 17 years! More Americans work now than at any time in history.
2. Trump enacted steel and aluminum tariffs. Immediately afterward, Granite City Steel called 500 union workers back.
3. Cut personal income taxes and increased the dependents deduction by $2,000 a child.
4. Trump approved the Keystone XL Pipeline, creating 40,000 jobs. He opened the Arctic and Gulf of Mexico to oil exploration, thus ensuring energy independence. Drill, baby, drill.
5. Unleashed business from cumbersome regulations.
6. Cut corporate taxes to 21 percent, leading to investment and greater employment.
7. Eliminated "Obamacare" mandate.
Promise: Make America Safe Again
1. Trump's hard sanctions and tough resolve brings the North Korean dictator to the negotiating table.
2. Directed law enforcement to arrest and deport MS-13 gang members.
3. Enforcement of immigration laws stems the tide of criminals and terrorists from abroad.
4. Trump modernizes America's military and aging nuclear deterrents.
5. Confirmed Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and added an additional 12 "constitutionalist" appellate judges, which will support our Bill of Rights.
6. Support of steel, coal, and oil industries made America energy self-sufficient.
7. Directed destruction of Syrian chemical weapon targets, hurting Syria's capability to murder innocents.
8. Expelled 60 Russian diplomats for meddling in America's election.

As the Fall harvest season is upon us, so is the pumpkin; and Halloween! The "scary" part of Halloween involves pumpkins with a scary face carved on them. It has recently come to my attention that some little kids really are scared. For this reason there are funny smiling pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns.
These examples of whittled jack-o-lantern/pumpkin pins should not scare any little one. Plus they are very easy and fast to whittle with just a pocket knife.

Semaj Clark was dealt a bad hand. Born to a teenage drug addict, he never knew his father. He was abused in foster care, he dropped out of high school, ran with hoodlums and built a long rap sheet that began with an arrest for burglary at age 12.
But with help from counselors, mentors, a probation officer and a college professor, Clark became a role model for up-from-the-streets success.
By 18, he'd enrolled in college, studied his way to a B average and become such a popular public speaker that he was invited to the White House to talk about raising black male achievement. His Facebook page sports a photo of him shaking hands with President Obama.
Yet Clark's star status couldn't protect him from the harsh reality of violent streets. Ten days ago, he was shot and paralyzed during a robbery attempt by three black teens in a Savannah, Ga., public housing project.
Clark was in Savannah to speak at a community safety forum aimed at reducing juvenile crime.
The irony doesn't end there.
The 17-year-old arrested in his shooting was supposed to be in the audience at the conference, but he failed to show up.
Instead, police said, he and his buddies gathered nearby in the city's tourist-friendly historic core, struck up a conversation with Clark and another Los Angeles youth, then led the pair to the housing complex a few blocks away. There, police said, the suspect pulled a gun, attempted to rob them and shot Clark in the back as he tried to flee.
The tragedy is a sobering reminder of how suddenly a success story can become an object lesson.
"My heart is broken," said Charisse Bremond Weaver, president of the Brotherhood Crusade, which has provided mentors, counseling, and educational and financial support for hundreds of struggling youths, including Clark.
"Semaj is such a gifted young man. This is a different type of journey than any of us were expecting," she said. "We're just going to continue to love him and try to keep him in a positive space."
Clark, who is hospitalized in Georgia, cried for hours when the doctor told him he'd never walk again.
"And you just can't help thinking," Bremond Weaver said, "Oh my goodness, why weren't we there to protect him?"
I chronicled Clark's climb in a column in May. He gave much of the credit to the BLOOM program — Building a Lifetime of Options and Opportunities for Men — sponsored by the Brotherhood Crusade.
Before a probation officer steered him to the group, Clark's mindset wasn't much different from that of those Georgia teens whose bullets sentenced him to a wheelchair.
"Where I come from, it's cool to steal or smoke or have all these girls," Clark told me last spring. "That's what you have to do to have somebody respect you."
BLOOM counselors introduced him to self-respect — and to better role models than the hustlers on his block: "They put you around successful black men that make you want to be that kind of person," Clark said then.
But it takes more than good intentions and well-meaning mentors to salvage young men damaged by broken families, failing schools, dangerous streets and wrenching poverty.
Two months ago, another BLOOM youth, Kevin Clay Thomas, was shot to death at a Boyle Heights Metro station in what police believe was a dispute between black and Latino gangs.
"We're not working with the A and B students. We're working with kids who people have literally given up on," Bremond Weaver said. "The question is how as a community can we change that narrative?"
That question is being asked all across the country, as part of a national movement launched last year by Obama, to lift, reform and inspire black and Latino boys and young men.
Clark was supposed to embody all that's possible. I worry now about the message his plight might send to young men on the fence: You can't outrun it or rise above it. There's no amount of change that will keep trouble out of reach.
But those who know him best think Clark's message will transcend that.
"There's no other 18-year-old I know who's had to overcome the kind of challenges he's been through and has done so well," said Cal Poly Pomona professor Renford Reese, who has Clark in two of his classes and runs the Reintegration Academy on campus, which educates formerly incarcerated young men. "He's charismatic, he's radiant, and he's been out there grinding, always trying to do his best."
Reese accompanied Clark and five other young men to the juvenile justice forum in Georgia. Clark "was the superstar," he said.
Criminal justice professionals at the conference were so impressed that a steady stream of Savannah officials — judges, police officers, prosecutors, the police chief, the mayor — have visited Clark in the hospital, Reese said.
"That's wonderful, it's encouraging; he's getting a lot of love," but it's not enough, Reese said.
"These young men are living in a culture of dysfunction.... People try to paint a rosy picture of black male transformation, but there's nothing easy about it," he said. He sometimes feels like Sisyphus, trying to roll a giant boulder to the top of a very steep hill.
"We have to look at what happens between the shootings," he said. "My kids don't need another protest. They need somebody to tutor them in math, to help buy their books. They need to earn enough to pay their rent.
"What happened is discouraging. I'm devastated," Reese said. "But the answer is not to quit, but to double down. Semaj in a wheelchair? That means this crisis is as real as it gets."

|This note was posted in July 2010. We have received an exceptional number of messages in the weeks that followed, excerpts from some of which are posted below. Without exception, these express anger and resentment about the extreme frustration that seemingly pointless changes to this product has provoked amongst established Office users
We wrote a critical note when Office 2007 was launched. Our view was that this product exemplified brand destruction. The chief advantage which Microsoft enjoys, what sets it apart as a company, is the vast user base that is habituated to the use of its products. They resist change to other approaches to work - free standing e-mail clients, simpler text processors - because of the weeks or months that it takes to become fluent in their use.
It is, therefore, a more than curious decision to introduce a package that actively sets out to throw away most of this cumulated experience. Office 2007 employed a user interface which did precisely this. It has been estimated that it takes six months for a formerly expert user to achieve fluency with the new interface, during which time their productivity falls drastically, their family suffers and the dog watches nervously for kicks.
This irritation is delivered with few or no corresponding advantages. Excel still has the same charting graphics that it offered in 1995. It cannot really be used as a statistics package, and remains a corporate accounting spread sheet. The only product that truly shines is Powerpoint, but it shone no more brightly in the 2007 release than it did a decade earlier.
As a result, penetration of the new product has been slow. Figures published since its launch suggest that Office 2003 has retained about half of all users, Office 2000 10-15% and that - because new users cannot buy Office 2003 except from third world bootleggers - Office 2007 has slowly acquired the remained. However, although large corporate users tend to stick with Microsoft, Open Office has made huge inroads into the small business and private user market. This uses the Office 2003 menu. It is popular both because this convention allows users to retain their skills and also, of course, because the product is distributed is free of charge.
We chose not to adopt Office 2007 and we have suffered no disadvantage as a result of this decision. The office dog remained un-kicked. Now, however, Office 2010 has come onto the scene. We have had a look at it. We installed it, which took quarter of an hour. It then dropped us unceremoniously into the desk top, leaving no icons and no entries to the XP Start menu. We had to find the .exe files and put in icon links manually.
We ran it. It registers itself and then re-registers itself - a lengthy process - every single time you start it if you have used an earlier version of Office in the intervening period. There is a registry edit fix for this, but this is a bit much to ask of general users. Eventually, a depressed gray blue screen appears, looking nothing like anything else in your work environment. In case you might forget that what Powerpoint or Word actually do, there is a garish coloured blob on the top left, to remind you that this is the red or orange package. Typing is blue, calculating is green - get it, you thick fool?
|This version is less aggressive in its use of the ghastly ribbon. Instead, there is a standard menu interface which, when clicked, shows a bar of blurry icons in place of text options. You can compare a screen shot of Office 2000 and Office 2010 icons opposite. One of our people with maculitis could not read it at all.
This approach does, of course, take much longer to search than does a well-designed menu. You get the whole lot, dumped onto the screen. If you want to repeat an action, you can either invoke the ribbon again - four clicks in place of one, if you can remember where to look - or you can permanently give up a significant chunk of screen estate by electing to keep the wretched thing permanently in place. You cannot locate the menu bar to the vertical part of the screen, and it hangs like a headache over your work space.
You can, if you wish, create a menu header of your own, and put all of your desired icons onto it. This approximates a customised task bar. However, you cannot transfer icons individually, but only in predefined groups that will usually contain things you do not want. Earlier versions of Office allowed you to park your task bars where you wanted them,and to assemble icons that met your needs in them. They were a bit like paint wells - always there, ready for a dab when required. Now, you have to dig through a heap of trash to find what you want: minimally four clicks in place of one. As the turkey said to the calendar: This is progress?
Both recent versions of Office do not allow you to match the package to your desk top environment. You get a dirty blue, black or depressed gray options, with babyish buttons and whopping great icons. Whopping, but also strangely varied. If you open the file menu you find icons the size of puppy's paws. Elsewhere, however, windows pop up in variants of your desk-top colour scheme, but often with tiny and virtually unreadable fonts.
The file menu icons are so large that they run off the bottom of the screen, so you have to scroll down through them. They comprise a set of predefined "themes", which in thirty years of presentations I have never seen anyone use. Unnecessary decoration has been called, with justice, chart junk. We looked to see if these themes and their stamp-collector menu could be removed. They could not. The web suggested that a registry edit is required. That, plus the manual deletion of these files still did not remove these distractions.
We tried to find help on how to bring in our many and varied individual styles and templates - that is, letterheads with peoples' names on them and the like. This proved to be extremely hard to do, with the system referring to "emulation mode" when grudgingly it hid these under one of these vast icons. Getting it to open a new default new page in the format that we wanted also proved extremely hard to achieve - perhaps we had not understood 'themes', but sometimes we got what we wanted and sometimes something quite different, for example in word a blank page formatted in Calibri. There is no accessible documentation and we had to work by trial and error.
We looked for help. The off line help is extremely rudimentary. The on-line help is sparse to an un commercial degree: virtually every page that we asked for was "not available at this time", and searches came up with a ludicrously limited range of hits. We bought a book which styled itself as "advanced", but it was all pictures and elementary steps that we could have worked out for ourselves. Independent Office-related web sites seem to reflect a similar state of bewilderment and irritation.
We struggled for some days, and got (some of) the thing to (sort of) work. It is clearly better than Office 2007, but as that was a huge step backwards from Office 2003/2000 it is hard to say how it improves on previous versions of Office.
Is there truly nothing good to say about the product?
Well, it certainly looks less "techie" and intimidating than Office 2000, and that is probably the point of it. This is a consumer product, aimed at new or naive users who are never going to engage with computing in a serious way. A child can use it to knock out a class report or an invitation to a fete, and the result will look quite pretty.
If, however, you want to set up a two day training course in Powerpoint, using thousands of animation, images and clips that flow smoothly into each other without visible seams, then this is not for you. Use one of the older versions. There are no new features that are worth having, and the effort of making the change is not warranted. If you fear that you will be unable to read .docx and other documents, get Open Office or buy the Home and Student version, that packs Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
Microsoft has not had much luck in the past five years. Vista and Office 2007 were not a success, and they would probably have sunk any small organisation that had launched them. User inertia, a broad portfolio of cash generators and the sense that there had been glitches before all calmed investor nerves. Windows 7 does seem to be unobjectionable, if not the step change that may ultimately be required.
Office has been described as "a 1990s solution to a 1980s problem." It is not at all clear what the current package is supposed to achieve, as training someone to use - or even be aware of - all of its facilities would take much longer than most organisations have got. The product appears to be optimised around two issues:
This perspective may, indeed, suit the world of routine and cubicles, whilst making gestures to the publicity that Microsoft puts out: the 'inner adult' in every child. It does, however, completely exclude everybody else, including the vast user base that is Microsoft's only true strength.
There is a further oddity, onethat seems to run through the last few generations of the suite. This revolves around is Microsoft's notion of how people work. The new version of Word, for example, allows parallel access to a single document, which many users can change more or less simultaneously. It may be that one or two organisations will want such a feature - introverts who hate to meet, perhaps, or brainstorming advertising copyduring a pandemic - but it is hard to envisage a broader situation in which this Wiki style of work would lead to anything but chaos. Indeed, it flies in the face of version control, quality maintenance and structured creativity.
The perception that work is handled by child-like teams seems to underpin both Microsoft's analysis of what people want from the product and the publicity that should be used to sell it. Each team member is supposed to contribute a random lump of activity, much as children make a farm animal or tree to add to the class farm. The reality is different: most work is routine and structured, sequential and hugely duplicated. Where people are creative, this may occur in (physically) social situations, may be individual or may occur when they retire in ones and two to talk, think and iterate around ideas. Most productive thought is solitary, made useful by a shared context in which the individual is working and into which they will communicate their ideas. We have no data on this, but it would not be surprising if the majority of Word documents were read only by their originator. Word processors are chiefly thought processors, means by which to get muddled ideas clean and vague plans sufficiently objectified that they can be properly discussed with others. That is, when they are not being used for routine applications, these tools are used in highly contextual ways, by individuals and not by groups. Individuals want individuation in their toolset.
The age of the package is probably over. What is needed is an "ecology" of compatible tools, and a user base who can either use these tools or who can easily find someone who can use them on their behalf. That is, if you or I occasionally find the need to embed a video clip into a presentation, then we can buy time on a package (or a service) that will do this for us. The presentation module needs the sockets into which to plug the resulting file, but it does not need to incorporate the editing function. Indeed, it must not, for it has to be as simple and sleek as is compatible with its being configurable to the user's requirements.
What does a realisation of such a structure look like? One has to have a core structure off which other things are to be hung. Modern operating system are, of course, set up in this way. Here, we are talking about one additional layer "meta" to the current offer. Current operating systems have structures that cope with things like graphics, printing and other IO, communications and so forth. Higher level software packages draw on these when they run over the operating system. A next generation operating system may well have higher order structures built into it. Simple text processing and management is an example of this. "Higher brain function" capabilities might include, for example, routine features such as contextual data mining of the accessible information environment.
This lays open the structure to free-floating capabilities that can be connected in when they are needed, like meccano. Third party products would be available from the cloud, for hire or for purchase, and their universal distinguishing feature would be open standards and interoperability. They would work by drawing on the operating system's new and extended capabilities.
Examples of such products would include continual contextual data mining of available knowledge, where the user's state of mind is being modeled. This goes way, way beyond the irritating MS paper clip and into the realm of concept network homologies: "here is a similar pattern of concepts that has been developed by you, colleagues or someone external that has a 85% homology with what you are doing. It extends into 'concept' - as opposed to 'word' - processing. Here is a link to a paper which shows how "concept clouds" surround individual words, such that typing evokes a developing thundercloud of back drop associations. data-basing could compare your particular storm to earlier attempts by yourself, by people in your organisation, profession or at large on the web.
Contextual data filtration includes the ability to manage data sources in an initially very general and visually-oriented ways. For example, excellent tools exists that allow one to switch between 'sketching' and 'set-building': that is, the ability to collect information sources - ideas or data points - into clusters, and then to view the implications of making such choices. For example, to make sweeping generalisations - all of these customers but not those, drop that lot of data points, kill this or that principal component in the visualisation of market variability - and see what that does to a model of reality. (Yes, Excel will do something vaguely like that if the data are set up properly, but it will neither find the data nor clean them up or tag them for processing. And you will need a six month conversion course to do it on the 2010 version.)
This is terrain that is absolutely idea for Microsoft to colonise. It grows from the basic skills and market presence of the company, and it is undoubtedly where their operating system people will need at least to think of going. Unhappily, this must create a rift in the corporation, for doing this will destroy the proprietary advantage of the Office package. By definition, anyone can offer a component into the amalgam. Customers will migrate in unexpected directions. IT managers will be unhappy. The current 'package' strategy will fail, and fall at the hands of its own colleagues.
Reader feedback
|To top
Here is a sample of the 50-60 comments that we have received. Each paragraph is from a separate respondent. We have chosen them at random, and posted them to show how widely and strongly opinions are held on this unhappy product. Microsoft appear to have angered a fair proportion of their user base, which it is only ever sensible to do when you have something that is genuinely better to offer, and capable of compensating the user for the required effort and general friction. Nevertheless, we must say that these texts express solely the views of their writers and the Challenge Network does not necessarily endorse the sentiments which they express.
I am glad that someone is prepared to say what pretty much everyone is thinking. This is an interface for morons. It sets a limit as to how good you can get with the package. All of our engineers and white collar workers have turned it down flat, although some of the new secretaries have been trained up on it and so use the thing. Then we find that their files will not work on the rest of our computers. It's simply crazy, company suicide.
[...] Here's an example of the total idiocy of this package. In Powerpoint there is an animation bar with huge great icons, which means you can see them three at a time. If you click it turns into a pane with different, smaller icons. But that pane cannot be moved, and completely obscures the things that you are trying to animate. So not only does the "live" animation that they make so much about become invisible, but so does everything else.
[...] One feature that drives me simply crazy is the way the ribbon thing is either on all the time, or vanishes at a single click. Suppose I want to up a font size by three steps. That means I have to evoke the ribbon thing three times, because after each damn click it hides itself again. Or I opt to have it on all the time, thereby filling what? 20% of my screen; plus the vast header that sit on top of it. Really stupid, stupid.
I have been inside MS several times on this. Basically, they don't care much about people who know how to use the package. They are all going to retire soon, or get other people to do their work for them. [...] The big market is beginners. Most beginners only go 10% up the slope anyway, so you just need a basic easy interface that will not put them off. That's the strategy - go for YouTube users.
Most of Office is pretty useless. It seems that virtually no one uses Access for example, and the 'hits' are Outlook (just the email, never mind the diary and stuff) then Word and after that Excel for simple accounting spread sheet stuff. Powerpoint is the only unique package, everything else has similar or better and often free alternatives. But only a minority use Powerpoint and then it's just screen screen screen. So it really doesn't matter much what MS do to the package as the average user takes 20-30 minutes making a presentation and uses that file only once. So all this "broadcast to the web" and stuff is just MS wet dreaming. It seems that a team has been set up and its is paid to do whatever in orer to sound useful and stay in business, and so they just keep adding 'cool stuff' that nobody but them really needs.
Why are the web reviews so positive? Have the journos been 'managed', or is this a worship of the super cool techie thing? I am getting on, but I recall in the 1960s that "new" always meant "worse": solid expensive products were replaced in plastic with cheaply made flimsy things that always broke. That trend stopped in the Eighties and we got used to a new product being better than what had gone before. Suddenly, with Vista and O 07 and now O 2010 we are back in that world, the time of tinselly bits of trash that are not as good as what went before. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THESE GUYS? And why don't journalists report reality, which is that people hate this interface and will not use it?
We ran an internal review, where people could come to a demonstration of Office 2007, try it out and have it on their machine if they wanted it. We have around 700 users of Office. About 250 came to the demonstrations and 170 arranged to spend a few hours trying it out. Not one single person wanted to switch. So we have been staying with Office 2003. That is beginning to create licensing problems for new machines, and we are going to have to either force everyone to do something that makes no sense to either us or to them to do - namely force Office 2010 on them - or else to cut the thread with Microsoft. [...] If you people know of a good alternative to Powerpoint, please do let us know. We can provide a hot key by hot key replacement for pretty much everything else that people use in Office 2003, but a good Powerpoint replacement does not seem to exist. Perhaps it is time that someone created one, or that Open Office got up to speed on this.
My kids came back from school, where they have been learning Office 2007 since they went there. But here is an interesting observation. I learned to program in Fortran, and then C. I think I really know how a machine works, and I can do all sorts of short cuts because of that. They have all learned in point and click packages, and whilst they can make a window open up nicely and all of that, they have not got a clue why it works. They got stuck on a cut and paste issue in Office. I could solve it in a few minutes, but they could not understand my explanation. Not because it was complicated, because it wasn't difficult. It was because they had no idea how anything worked behind the pretty pictures. OK, so they get "productive" in a few minutes, but they never get any better after that. This seems to be the new MS paradigm: "Just Good Enough", but for who? Commercial people? Kids? Morons? Why build in limits??
You asked about alternatives. Here is a page dedicated to these. Personally, I really like the Oracle package (ex IBM) of OpenOffice. It's not free, but it is really cheap and has a fully professional support base, a UI that looks and feels like Office 2003 and which is completely compatible with Office Later distros.
Please accept our apologies if your comment has not been included. As we have already said, we have chosen at random whilst trying to maintain a fair coverage of the opinion expressed.

The healthcare industry is changing rapidly and is becoming more data focused and technology focused. This year's Healthcare Summit Shows the Importance of Data is it focuses on mostly data related topics and brings speakers who have authority and experience on the topic.
Big data is helping change the way most things are done and is at the forefront of most innovations. One major way big data is helping is in Artificial intelligence and machine learning. Big data is expected to help in the global diversification of artificial intelligence and machine learning offerings.
There is a constant influx of new technology both in quality and quantity and this means that the prices are starting to drop significantly thereby making them more accessible to a wider variety of people. A drop in price means a more rapid adaptation by people that otherwise could not afford the device. A more rapid spread around the world means a more diverse user base in terms of cultural, religious, ethnic, linguistic and political affiliations.
This also means that the artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to be provided in these markets will have to be trained and skilled differently from each other. Banking upon big data analysis of these factors from region to region, the artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions will be able to be relevantly molded and trained so that the sentiment of different demographics don't get hurt, and these solutions also prove to be useful to the customers.
For example, for example when you type CEO into a keyboard, the artificial intelligence of the phone immediately suggest a Male emoji and when you type in nurse it suggests a female emoji. This means the system has some program flaws that show bias. Flaws like this needs to be corrected is AI and machine learning continues to be adopted more rapidly on a global scale.
There is also the issue of having a market analysis that is backed by big data. Right now the market for artificial intelligence and machine learning is still young and in its early growth stage. Is the market continues to grow, ti will quickly expand past its nascent beginnings is players on the market will start to understand the customer and potential customer base better.
Players will come to realize what sorts of product offerings, features and functionality are preferred by customers to have or not have on their devices and solutions. Here again, big data will come as a formidable rescue to the enterprises developing and selling AI and machine learning based solutions. The AI offering now is not very commercialized, but they are slowly entering the market and being adopted by the general public.
Amazon's Alexa, for example, is being bought by more and more people and is in so many homes. As the industry grows and public adaptation grows, providers will use data collected to understand the needs of the customers better and so newer models would come with improvements and tweaks that better suit the needs of people.
Big Data to Enhance Artificial Intelligence
Big data and artificial intelligence go hand in hand. So it's no surprise that big data is used to improve artificial intelligence. As the size of big data is continuously growing and new grounds are being broken in analyzing its implications as well, it is becoming more meaningful and contextually relevant for the machines to have a better idea of their functions with the help of big data analysis.
Machines can do this through machine learning. Just looking at the definition of machine learning – an advanced application of AI in interconnected machines and peripherals by granting them access to databases and making them learn new things from it on their own in a programmed manner.
The Importance of the Human Element in Data
Big data also plays a role in helping to expand a learning workforce. Big data will always require human intelligence and instinct to help analyze it and proper training will help make that happen. Though people have expressed concerns that machine learning, artificial intelligence, and technology, in general, will wipe out the usefulness of human workers and thus reduce jobs available.
There Is some truth to this, but a big part of this that people don't seem to realize is that artificial intelligence is creating a need for a new type of workers that will create these machines and guide their usage. The human eye is always going to be important and no matter how smart machines get, it cannot be replaced. When systems are migrated to different geographical regions and different countries, for example, they have to be tweaked to fit the new socio-cultural nature of these regions.
There are social norms and cultural nuances that a computer cannot detect. It's up to the humans to detect this, learn them and integrate them into the systems in a way that they are useful to people. For example, Google Maps is an advanced system with responsiveness and adaptability- if you take a wrong turn, google maps adjust the route to give you a new router and a new estimated time of arrival.
Google maps in India is a different case. Most people use motorcycles in India, they are able to use routes and roads that are not necessarily recognized by the google maps system built for cars and roads for cars. It took the human element of Google employees in India to be able to bring awareness to this and to create a map targeted to serve people who use motorcycles. This new system is able to recognize most motorcycle routes and add it to a trip plan thus serving the customer better.
The increasing collaboration between AI, machine learning, and big data will only make way for talented and capable human data scientists to consistently evolve and rise in the market, and by all means, they will be required in a much huge number as the applications of these technologies gain movement.

A police dog handler is an experienced police officer whose partner is
a dog. These officers train, work and live with their canine partners.
These officer-dog teams do specialized police work. For instance, the dog's
tracking skills are used to find and apprehend suspects who flee crime scenes,
as well as missing persons.
The teams also check areas for illegal drugs or explosives. They also help
stop crimes in progress.
Other duties include searching for illegal alcohol, crime scene evidence
and lost property. They also provide VIP protection, search and rescue services,
crowd control and help with community relations.
A police dog handler's career begins after a number of years of experience
in the police force. Police departments across North America have different
prerequisites for K-9 handlers.
Upon joining the unit, each officer is assigned a partner. From that point
on, the dog handler is responsible for the training and care of their dog
-- both at work and at home.
As a result, a dog handler must have a stable home and a fenced yard. Patience
and responsibility are also essential for this job.
"Initially, a training period is needed before the dog and handler hit
the street," says K-9 cop Gary Pavone. The training starts with basic obedience,
both on leash and off, and then goes on to teach commands like sit, stay,
heel, come and down.
"It progresses from there to include building search, area search, evidence
search, handler protection and tracking," says Pavone. "Dogs are also trained
to respond to hand signals."
The training never ends. K-9 handlers and their dogs are required to attend
regular sessions of patrol maintenance training, averaging around 20 hours
a month.
This is a physically demanding job, as dogs and their handlers sometimes
travel on foot for long distances over rough terrain.
These officers play a key role in promoting police work in the community.
This often means taking their dogs to schools or gatherings of civic groups
to talk to people about the work they do.
Unlike standard patrol officers, dog handlers are responsible for patrolling
entire cities or large rural areas with little or no supervision.
Dog handling is a good career for people who have a lot of initiative and
work well independently.
Dog handlers generally work eight-hour days, five days a week. However,
this career often involves night shifts, and off-duty dog handlers may be
called in to work during emergency situations.
As with any job in police work, a dog handler must be willing to relocate
to where the jobs are. This could mean a move across town or across the country.
Work with man's best friend

Many seniors who are too sick or frail to live in their homes often think that the nursing homes are their only option either as their permanent residence or as a temporary facility during their recovery. However, many seniors who need nursing care would rather receive it in their own home while enjoying a familiar environment with their family and friends. Good thing there are community services and health care professionals who can provide him the home nursing care he needs. These professionals can come right to a senior's home in Marmora to deliver responsible care.
Home care generally refers to health care or support provided in the patient's home, but this term is usually applied to non-medical care or custodian care provided by persons who are not licensed medical personnel. Family and friends, who are referred to as caregivers, primary caregiver or voluntary caregiver in this context, can also provide home care in Marmora. Mostly, however, services are provided by agencies or independent providers.
Best Ways to Find Assistance Home Care in Marmora
The Benefits of Senior Home Care
What You Need to Know About Home Care
As an increasing number of seniors choose to remain in their home rather than move into a senior living community, the demand for home care continues to rise. Also called "companion care", home care consists of non-medical services that allow an individual to receive assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). In contrast, "home health care", consists of skilled nursing services that are provided in the home by licensed professionals such as nurses, physicians, and therapists.
Defining ADLs and IADLs
Activities of daily living generally include the following:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Hygiene (brushing hair, brushing teeth, denture care, etc.)
- Toileting (including hygiene, use of incontinence products)
- Transferring (moving from bed to chair, walker to toilet, etc.)
Instrumental activities of daily living generally include the following:
- Light house-cleaning and upkeep
- Meal preparation
- Medication management
- Shopping for groceries or clothes
- Using the telephone to schedule appointments, etc.
- Managing money (balancing a checkbook, paying bills)
While Medicare does not cover home care, those eligible for Medicaid may receive financial assistance for services provided in the home. However, most home care agencies do not accept Medicaid and thus private pay is required. For veterans or spouses of veterans, Veteran's Aid and Attendance benefits may also be available. Visit http://www.veteranaid.org for general information about these benefits and the eligibility requirements.
A Caveat Regarding Home Care
It is highly advised to arrange for home care services through a reputable agency that is licensed, bonded and insured. Caregivers that advertise independently through newspapers or other means may not have the qualifications required of employees at agencies. By going through an agency, you're ensured that the caregiver has gone through a state and/or nationwide background check and has completed formal training requirements.
Home Care Services - The Future of Healthcare Services
The aging Baby Boomer generation offers a lot of career opportunities in terms of the elderly care it needs. In 2008, around 7.6 million individuals received adult daycare services to treat long-term health conditions, terminal illness, acute illness or permanent disability, according to the data released by the National Association for Home Care and Hospice. However, to start the rewarding career of an adult daycare provider, you need to obtain an in home care license. The type of license you need depends upon the type of agency you want to start, i.e., whether you want to work on your own or want to employ nursing staff for your agency.
In Home Care License: How to Obtain it
Here are the steps you need to follow to obtain an in home care license:
Once you get the in home care license, be prepared for annual total operation evaluations and surveys by the Department of Health and Human Services.
It must be noted that the department may require you to undergo training before issuing you an in-home care license. For this, you may need to complete a course at a local training center. However, the best way is to contact a reputed and trusted consultant, such as HomeHealthStartup. At homehealthstartup, you can get detailed manuals along with compact discs of the training material to start your home care business. A consultant will guide you through the steps to get the required license.

An EU court has ruled that the card game bridge is not considered a sport under European or UK law.
The decision came following an appeal by the English Bridge Union, which has been involved in a legal dispute with British authorities over tax for duplicate bridge tournaments.
Duplicate bridge is described as a "form of bridge played competitively at national and international level, in which each partnership successively plays the same deal as their counterparts at other tables".
The EBU charges VAT on entry fees for duplicate bridge tournament - but the union argues the fees should be exempt from VAT under EU law.
They suggest that duplicate bridge should be considered a sport as it involved a "significant mental element" and is "practised competitively".
According to the BBC, the legal action got underway after Sport England refused to recognise the card game - meaning the union cannot access lottery funding.
However, the European Court of Justice has now ruled against the EBU - overturning a recommendation from its Advocate General.
European law means sports are considered activities involving a "not negligible physical element".
The court insisted that its job was "not to determine the meaning of 'sport' in general" - but to consider it in relation to EU VAT directives.
In the judgement, the EU court explained: "[Legislation on] the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that an activity such as duplicate bridge, which is characterised by a physical element that appears to be negligible, is not covered by the concept of 'sport'".
The EBU said the decision was a 'surprise' and 'disappointment'.
In a statement, the union added: "The Court did, however, leave open the opportunity for individual states to exempt bridge from VAT by recognising it as a 'cultural service'.
"We are pleased by the court's suggestion, and welcome the possibility that bridge activities may yet be exempted from VAT - however we have not yet considered the implications of the suggestion."
The union argues that VAT exemption would make competitions cheaper, and would help bring bridge to a wider audience.

A resident of Roseville, Suzanne Eckes-Wahl serves as Communications Director for Sierra Forward. A Sacramento native, Suzanne began working in media, public relations and concert promotion at her father's knee: watching him entertain crowds during Robert Kennedy's visit to Sacramento in 1968 is one of her earliest memories. Admittedly, that concluded her political activism until Tuesday, November 8th, 2016.
While attending the University of Hawai'i, Suzanne's comfort with media and high-profile individuals led to a position with concert promoter Tom Moffatt. Juggling travel arrangements, contracts, and media appearances for international celebrities garnered Suzanne valuable experience working in high-pressure, constantly shifting environments.
After working and living in the Western Pacific, Suzanne returned to Northern California, where she and husband Jim established careers in media production. Moving from local news and production companies to international broadcast and documentary film, in 2005 Suzanne and Jim formed DosEckes Productions, where Suzanne oversees production and pre-production. Clients range from HOUZZ, PBS and HGTV to Stanford University and the National Naval Aviation Museum, however DEP's true passion is historic or culturally important topics — creating media that matters.
Suzanne attended the University of Hawai'i and CSU Sacramento, obtaining a BA degree in Philosophy and an MA in History/Public History. She and Jim have 2 grown sons, and Suzanne is a founding member of the CD4 Indivisible Network. She looks forward to working with Sierra Forward as they bring more reflective representation to CA CD4.

Ore Milling Equipment
Ore can be simply considered a class of mineral aggregates of rock material, according to the metal content is divided into: metal ore and non-metallic ore two categories. Modern technology is very developed, many useful materials are extracted from the ore through a reasonable process, is widely used in industrial, agricultural, construction and other areas close to the people's livelihood, it is not difficult to infer: the current Ore processing is particularly important, the choice of equipment is also a matter of urgency.
China's mineral resources are widely distributed, generally concentrated in the mountains of the area, the region's rich mineral resources, purity is very high, easy mining and processing, the government's support is also quite large, so many people joined the ore Processing of the ranks. Because the advantages of ore processing is very high, the input cost is very low, the return is fast, the benefits are numerous and so on the merits of the trust of the majority of investors, at the same time, the advantages of domestic ore also attract a large number of foreign customers, these ore exports to Many countries, not only can bring huge profits, but also to a large extent also raised the local economic level.
Processing of ore milling equipment
The rapid development of the ore industry has also contributed to the progress of other industries, more obvious is the ore processing equipment, for the processing of ore there are many kinds of technology, such as crushing process, milling process, metal ore can also be beneficiation process, The main content of this chapter, we elaborate on the ore milling process, for the ore grinding process, we are the name suggests is the choice of milling equipment, milling equipment, there are many: raymond mill, MTW European trapezium mill, vertical roller mill and SCM ultrafine mill, these four types of equipment is also more commonly used equipment, customer evaluation of these devices is quite high, look at them for a gradual introduction:
Raymond Mill: Raymond Mill is the equipment used in the milling equipment, its development speed is very fast, the process is also very advanced. Now the Raymond Mill and the early compared to the performance, structure and material have been improved to varying degrees, the first performance aspects. The equipment is running very stable, the production efficiency is very high, and the material of the powder situation customer satisfaction is also very high. In the construction: Raymond Mill after a reasonable design and scientific processing, the volume is more and more miniaturization, not only saves space and footprint, while its fuel consumption is also greatly reduced from a large To the extent of the equipment to achieve energy conservation. In the material: the newer Raymond Mill material is the use of world-class materials for processing and production.
Trapezium Mill: MTW European trapezium mill is a typical milling equipment, with the ore processing efforts to further expand the equipment has gradually moved toward the human line of sight. The early trapezium mill was designed to devise the ever-changing changes in air pressure. The device can effectively play its unique advantages in terms of production efficiency can also meet the actual needs of customers. As the market economy is further standardized, the price of the equipment is becoming more and more easily accepted, and the current price of the trapezium mill is constantly decreasing (the performance is continually improving), so the overall price of the equipment is now showing a downward trend.
Ultrafine Mill: As humans have higher requirements to the quality of powder granularity, the traditional milling equipment can not meet the actual standard of customers, while ultrafine mill successfully developed just to meet the stringent requirements of customers on the fineness of the. The particle size of the equipment is very fine, which is also due to its unique design. The filter screen of the material outlet of the equipment is made of nanometer technology and high-density material, and the diameter of each round hole and the distance between the round holes are highly consistent. Looking under the microscope, in a neat and orderly arrangement, this is the core of the fineness of the equipment. If you have strict requirements for the particle size of the ore, SBM SCM ultrafine, mill can meet your actual needs, and it is indeed a good choice.
Ore Milling Equipment Price
There is a certain degree of difference in the quotation. Ore milling equipment is a machine that grinds all kinds of ore into powder. Ore milling equipment is different from food mill, because of its special material selection, work performance in the price is higher than the edible mill, but the stone powder mine grinding price is very different, from tens of thousands to tens of thousands or even millions Of the mill equipment, the decision price differences are mainly reflected in three aspects: different types of equipment, different manufacturers, different geographical locations.
1, from the mill type analysis, industrial milling equipment is divided into Raymond Mill, high pressure rotary roller mill, vertical mill, trapezium mill, the European version of grinding, ultra-fine grinding, tricyclic speed grinding, coarse grinding, , Air mill and so on more than 10 kinds of different types of different types of mill in the material selection, the use of performance, manufacturing processes and other aspects of the larger differences, so the market price is not the same, the most common industrial milling several grinding mill in Europe , vertical roller mill prices higher.
2, the same kind of milling machine different models price difference is easier to understand, the greater the model, the more difficult manufacturing process, the more material materials, the more expensive natural prices, Moreover, large-scale Raymond Mill production than small Raymond production efficiency More than a few times as much as the increase in the sale price of a few million can be small, large milling equipment to up to one million yuan.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are keeping secret the identity of the company that will pay the monthly salary of new Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, to avoid the company from been a target of militant groups in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
The German signed a two year contract to coach the Super Eagles on a monthly salary reportedly worth $47,000 (N18.6m), which the NFF said will be handled by a private company based in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
Oil rich Niger Delta have been battling with the activities of militants, who have been blowing up oil installations in their bid to get the government to listen to their appeal and develop their land.
An oil company based in the region has picked up the bills of the new Super Eagles coach according to a source at the NFF, but the identity of the company that will pay Rohr's salary won't be disclosed to the public, so as to prevent the company from been a target of the dreaded Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
" Nigerians shouldn't worry themselves, Rohr's salary is not an issue but we won't be revealing the identity of the company that has picked up the bills, for security reasons judging by the ongoing unrest in the Niger Delta" a source told Owngoalnigeria.com.
" We don't want to put any company in the spotlight by announcing them as sponsors of Rohr's salary, it will make them a target of the militants, Nigerians will understand what am talking about".

I think today is the laziest day I have ever had in my life. I am not one that finds it easy to sit around. I can't sit still for more than about 5 minutes, even to watch TV. That is actually the main reason I started this blog, so that at night when I was attempting to sit down and relax but couldn't, I would have something to occupy me.
Well, it is after 5:00 pm and I am still in my pj's. I've only left the house to walk the dogs around the block, and I did that in my pj's too. I have been working on a Blackboard proficiency all day so that I can teach online classes next semester, but I have barely left the couch. As much as I don't do well with not having any plans, every now and then it is kind of nice.
During one of my breaks from my online work, I decided to put dinner together in the crock pot. I bought ingredients last week to make Chicken Casserole with Swiss Cheese, a recipe out of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook (on sale at amazon.com for $10.36 if you are looking for a holiday gift!). It is a great cookbook that I have used tons of times over the past few years. I've been trying to do at least one crock pot recipe a week, just to make life easier and to make evenings a little less rushed here and there. Well, here is what I put together this morning. We haven't eaten yet, but it smells super delicious and I think the ingredients are going to be very uniquely tasty together.
Chicken Casserole with Swiss Cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 lb chicken breasts, cut into 3/4 inch cubes (I used about a pound and a half)
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced (as much as I love them, we were out and I wasn't into going to the store, so no mushrooms tonight)
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
4 large garlic cloves, crushed
12 fresh basil leaves, minced (I used 1 teaspoon dried basil)
1 tablespoon minced onion (I'm out, so I used 1/2 of a medium sized onion, diced)
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon celery seeds (didn't have any of those either, so I used 2 stalks of celery, chopped)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon milk Louisiana style pepper sauce
3 oz Swiss cheese, cubed (it calls for reduced fat, but I think cheese is the only thing I cannot stomach reduced fat versions of… and I am definitely using at least 5 or 6 oz. I love cheese.)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs, toasted
8 oz rotelle pasta
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cicken and mushrooms; saute, stirring, until the chicken is lightly browned, 5-8 minutes. **Since I used fresh onions and celery, I added those here, too.
Combine the chicken mixture, tomatoes, garlic, basil, onions, sugar, celery seeds, nutmeg and pepper sauce in the crock pot. Cover, cook on LOW until the chicken is cooked through, 6-8 hours (mine is done and on warm and it's only been 5 hours). Stir in the cheese and cook until melted, about 20 minutes.

Azaperone tartrate 30ml - 50mg/ml
Azaperone is a neuroleptic sedative belonging to the butyrophenone class of pharmaceuticals. Butyrophenones work through the mechanism of central dopamine and peripheral adrenergic blockage to produce a strong anticholinergic effect. The other butyrophenone routinely used in wildlife is haloperidol as a longer acting tranquilizer.
Indications Wildlife Management:
Azaperone is rapidly absorbed from the injection site with peak concentrations in plasma occurring within one hour after administration. Elimination from plasma is ½-2.5 hr. due to rapid and extensive metabolism. Metabolic pathways are 1) reduction of the butanone 2) oxidative N-dearylation 3) hydroxylation of the pyridine group. The target tissue for azaperone and its metabolites is the liver. Low residue levels are present in muscle and other edible tissues.
How supplied:
Animals showed reduced activity for about 6 hours post-induction with azaperone. It should not be used in game species 30 days prior to a legal hunting season. The effects of azaperone are NOT reversed with the narcotic or alpha-two reversal agents. Animals may exhibit extra pyramidal signs at the higher dose rates.
Hyper-salivation and tachypnea may occur.
WARNING: Azaperone has no reversal, i.e. antagonist (antidote). Azaperone may cause hypotension and, at low doses, may cause excitement in equids.

In Urchin and the Heartstone, Whitewings had been taken over by a mad King called Silverbirch and his sorcerer, Smokewreath. The true ruler, Larch, had been forced into hiding, along with the true priest, Brother Flame, as there was a strong threat of them being assassinated.
The creatures of Whitewings Island were forced to work in the silver mines to satisfy Silverbirch's demands for it. The mining caused the water to taste metallic. Many animals also had lung problems from inhaling dust.
At the end of the second book, Larch was restored to her rightful place after an earthquake knocks down the fortress there, killing Silverbirch, Smokewreath and their army.
Whitewings is home to swans, hedgehogs, squirrels and moles. There are few or no otters as they all left the island when Silverbirch took over. There are three large hills on Whitewings and the trees there are mainly larch and birch trees. The fortress, which was destroyed at the end of book 2 is a short march from the sea shore.

With the aid ofHUAWEIMateRS Porsche designed the lens, looking for the original landmark moment of the present great changes, feel the power of the times, salute the great times, let people sigh.
The public phone has become a smart phone, almost a "organ" of the human body.
When the camera was used to take pictures, the camera was lost and the mobile phone was used to record a little bit of life.
The crowded green train became the symbol of speed in China; the only way of payment in the year was a more plural and more convenient electronic payment. The great impact of the 40 years of reform and opening up on China has been vividly illustrated under the lens of HUAWEI MateRS Porsche design.
2018 is the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, and the two word "era" has become the theme word of this year's public opinion. The HUAWEI MateRS Porsche design is a product that pays tribute to the times in the name of the times.
In recent years, HUAWEI Mobile has experienced rapid development, and the volume of shipments has increased rapidly. Over the past 6 years, HUAWEI Mobile has been China's market share for the first four years in a row and the world's third. According to HUAWEI terminal CEO Yu Chengdong, HUAWEI's smart phone shipments will reach nearly 200 million units this year, close to second of the world's total.
At the same time, HUAWEI mobile phone technology accumulation, product quality and innovation awareness are increasing, gradually becoming the leader of the mobile phone industry, the excellent national goods, and become the "Chinese brand name card" participating in the global business competition and cultural exchange. In the brand building, HUAWEI mobile phones in the forefront of all domestic mobile phone brands, with Leica combined to create a top-level mobile camera system, has successfully erected the benchmarking of the smart phone photography level; with Porsche Design jointly named Porsche design mobile phone, the avatar homemade high flagship pronoun.
In the past, a lot of high-end mobile phones in China often use the way of OEM outsourcing, and the high-end products of HUAWEI mobile phones never do outsourcing, R & D input can be described with "big hand". With the Mate series as an example, the R & D cost of each mobile phone is more than 100 million dollars. The great R & D investment and the unremitting pursuit of quality have made the HUAWEI mobile phone "the best way to the world".
In April this year, HUAWEI mobile phone brought the super flagship, HUAWEI MateRS Porsche design, the integration of the HUAWEI phone, Porsche design, the three major brands of Leica, no matter technology, design, material, specifications are peak, research and development is no cost. As soon as the new machine has been listed, it has become the target of many business people, elite white-collar workers, star actors and celebrities in the industry. The reason is that HUAWEI MateRS Porsche design is not only a super high-end smart phone, but also a piece of art that injected the value of HUAWEI mobile phone, erecting new benchmarks for the luxury mobile phone.
A great era is not a follower, but a leader. Over the past 40 years, personal will and the tide of history have collided with each other. A number of age leaders have come to the forefront, breaking through the boundaries, challenging the ultimate and conquering impossible. The times have changed their destinies, and they have made great achievements in the times.
With the advent of mobile Internet and smart phone, HUAWEI Mobile has become the leader of the times, and the door of artificial intelligence era has opened. HUAWEI mobile phone station is at the forefront of the times. The development of HUAWEI mobile is the successful example of China's mode in the past 40 years of reform and opening up. To build a product that leads the era is the best way for HUAWEI mobile to pay tribute to the times. From this point of view, HUAWEI MateRS Porsche design "salute the times", deserved to return.
