Happy New Year although I fear if you're a commuter from one of the Royal

Borough's ten train stations you're not going to have a good new year

if December and November was anything to go by. The new train operator

South Western Railway has not been performing well at all. As a commuter

myself here from Surbiton, I've never had so many of my trains delayed and cancelled and

I know many of you have been suffering from the poor train services we've had

recently. That's why I've asked for an urgent meeting with the chief executive

of South Western Railway, that's next Tuesday at the House of Commons on the

9th of January, and I'll be putting to him your complaints and frankly mine as

well. But I also be raising the issue of the consultation of South Western

Railway on the new proposed timetable for December this year and that may sound

a long way off 9th December 2018 but they've got to decide the timetable

relatively soon and their consultation on the proposals was one of the worst

consultations I have ever seen. It was highly confusing and it didn't really

bring the improvements we've long argued for. Yes there were a few

improvements at the edges but we want to see major improvements to the trains

on the Chessington South branch line for example but they weren't forthcoming so

I'll be raising that timetable consultation with him.

In fact over this year I'm determined to do a lot of campaigning on trains and

train services and train stations in our area if you want to keep up to date with

that click on the link below or go and visit my Facebook page 'Edward Davey'.

Thank you and I hope you do have a happy new year and our railway transport

improves. Thank you.

Unified Communications: Innovation with Broadsoft and Vodafone Next Gen Services - Duration: 5:33.

I'm Michael Krigsman, an industry analyst and the host of CxOTalk.

We're at BroadSoft Connections 2017, and I'm speaking with Glenn Johnstone, who is

the CEO of Vodafone Next Generation Services.

Hey, Glenn!

How are you doing?

I'm good, thank you.

Good, thank you.

Tell us about Vodafone Next Generation Services.

So, Vodafone Next-Gen is basically a UC provider.

We've got a lot of experience and history of providing UC services to both businesses

and residentials.

So, who are your customers?

We are focused on business customers.

So, we look at providing them a UC service largely based on BroadSoft, but that also

with the mind that we're looking at their customers.

One of the themes of this event has been the changing expectations of customers.

And, you work with a lot of different businesses, so what are you seeing out there in the market?

I think we're seeing that the pace of change and the complexity means that you've got

to really keep things very intuitive and simple.

You really have to downplay the technology side of things and look at a customer consuming

a service.

What's driving this shift in customer expectations?

Well, I think it's a lot of things.

But, the pace of change is not slowing down.

And the other is, there's more ways than ever to communicate.

So, a customer is looking at us as a trusted advisor to help them out with all of those

technology options.

The issue of speed and being responsive, I have to imagine, is a crucial one as well.

It is hard, yes.

So, you've got to keep pace with the customer.

Particularly in medium-sized businesses and below, they struggle with the pace of change.

They can't know the wick on their own business, let alone look at technology options.

So, you have to really provide them with something that's simple, easy to use, easy to consume.

You have to really invest heavily in a seamless and intuitive interaction: portals; what-it-looks-like

GUIs; or whatever else.

But also, you have to invest heavily in a seamless onboarding process.

You have to make it very easy to become a customer.

How does that contrast with the kind of state of the art inside most onboarding processes

today?

Yeah, I think we tend to take a bit more of a hands-on approach, making sure that we got

our customers on board.

We take care of the actual business change part of the program.

The actual technology is not that difficult to deploy.

It's actually about the change management process within the customer.

And especially, I suppose, if you're selling inside larger organizations, that becomes

even more acute.

That's right.

So, you tend to get straight off there.

They have their own IT staff that you can work with on from a technology point of view.

But, the business process, the business change side of things become more important.

It's very interesting that you describe yourself as that trusted advisor.

That's right.

So, a trusted advisor is very key, because it creates that relationship that allows you

to then bring in more technologies as things are developed and released.

And it's interesting also that you said that it's not just a matter of the technology,

but the processes and the change management that's required.

That's right.

I mean, customers are after an outcome: a productivity increase; or getting to their

customer base.

They're not really after the technology itself.

Where is all of this technology going?

Yeah, that's a good question and it's hard to say because it changes so rapidly.

But, I think the key things are pretty well known.

Security and privacy are probably at the fore of much of the discussions in terms of what's

happening next.

And, what else are your customers telling you that they're demanding?

I have to imagine security and privacy are just top of mind.

They are.

I think also that there are so many different other pieces of information flowing in.

The prevalence of IoT, analytics, whatever else; it's great stuff, but of course, it's

hard to consume.

There's so much of it.

So, elaborate on that.

That's really interesting.

So, you're trying to get to the point where you're consuming or actually creating the

change process; so, giving them the information rather than just the data.

That also means pulling in all those information streams from different providers to [garbled…]

aspects of their business.

Glenn, what about the mindset and the cultural demands of change?

Yeah, so it is hard.

That's the change process because you get some businesses that are very agile and can

change rapidly, which is fine.

But, a lot of the customers that you're particularly [garbled …] also have a PBX, or whatever

else [garbled…].

To have a UC, it is a quite large change for them.

So, you have to be very hands-on in engaging with senior management in particular, that

it's going to be a change process.

What advice do you have, Glenn, for organizations that are looking to adopt these solutions?

I think it's to not look at the technology.

I think you need to look at what you want out of it and try and create a solution from

there, rather than just preach on [garbled…] technology.

That's really interesting.

So, even though we're talking about technology, that's not, shall we say, the challenge

point.

That's right.

I mean, we are already in the technology game, but of course your customers, by and large,

aren't.

So, you have to make sure that they are not being sold to with a technology angle or whatever

else you're driving, [but with] whatever they're trying to achieve out of it.

And, if you were to summarize the Glenn prescription for change management success with unified

communications, what would that be?

I think it's "Do small attractive changes."

So, start small.

Begin the journey.

Start with "Lead the dogs," whatever else.

But, it's just really managing the journey and the expectation that they want.

Okay.

Glenn Johnstone, thank you so much!

Thank you.

Cheers!

vulnerable to a system failure.

Or an attack that could severely impact your company's

reputation and success.

and simply don't have the time or the expertise

to manage IT on their own.

That's why we created AT&T Tech Support 360.

You can rely on our remote technicians

to help deliver the IT performance

and improved security your business demands.

We can act as your primary IT resource,

24/7 remote experienced technical support.

Creating the Infrastructure Resources Required for Oracle Platform Services - Duration: 4:15.

Before you create Oracle PaaS instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure--uch as

Oracle Database Cloud Service or Oracle Java Cloud Service--you need to create

these resources to support those services:

A compartment;

a virtual cloud network

Permission for your platform services to use the virtual cloud network;

an object storage bucket;

a Swift password;

and, in some cases an API signing key.

Using my Oracle Cloud Infrastructure credentials, I'll sign in

to the Oracle cloud infrastructure dashboard.

Let's start by creating the compartment.

Working from the Oracle cloud infrastructure console

I'll first ensure that I've selected the correct region,

then I'll create the compartment.

I'll enter a name and a short description making note of the name as I

know I'll need it later in this procedure.

Now, I'll create the virtual cloud network,

which I'll refer to as the VCN.

The compartment I created, "myPaaScompartment",

appears in the "Create in Compartment" field.

I'll give my VCN a name and ensure that it's created along

with its related resources.

I want to be sure to note the name of each subnet I plan to use

for the Oracle PaaS instances.

And I'll create my Virtual Cloud Network.

Next, I want to grant permission for my platform services to

use the VC and I just created.

I'll grant permission from the policies tab,

first selecting the root compartment for my tenancy

and then start the policy creation process by clicking Create Policy.

I'll enter a name and description,

then I'll specify the definition of the verbs and resources I want the policy to

use. In this case, I want the policy to reflect future changes to the

definitions of these verbs and resources, so I want to keep the policy current.

Now, I'll enter the policy statements I want to use...

...one per line.

If you are creating these policies, you'd replace "myPaaScompartment"

with the name of the compartment you created

and then enter the remainder of each policy statement exactly as shown here

and create the policy.

Next I'll add an object storage bucket

where I can store backups and other artifacts for the JCS instance

I'll create later.

I'll start the creation process, ensuring that I'm creating the bucket in the right compartment.

I'll give the bucket a name and here, too, I want to make note

of this name as I'll need it when I create my PaaS services.

Because I also plan to create a Database service, I'll need to

create another bucket for its artifacts.

Now, I'll generate the Swift password.

A Swift password allows an Oracle platform

service to authenticate with the Oracle cloud Infrastructure object storage service .

It's created for the user who created the bucket all I need to do here

is enter a description for the password and generate the password.

I'll want to copy and store the password because I know I'll need it later.

Some services--such as Oracle Big Data Cloud Service--require,

in addition to the prerequisites demonstrated here,

that an API signing key be generated before their users

can start provisioning platform service instances.

For more information on this process see the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure document

"How to Generate an API Signing Key".

Thank you for viewing "Creating Infrastructure Resources Required for Oracle Platform Services"

With these resources in place, we can now provision any Oracle PaaS service

such as Oracle Database Cloud Service or Oracle Java Cloud Service.

In this demonstration, we'll next create a Database Cloud Service deployment.

please watch this video.

Pregnancy Counseling and Adoption Services - Lutheran Family Service - Duration: 2:01.

The work that we're doing,

especially in pregnancy counseling, is a time of crisis,

of anguish, of real decision making for a person

as to what are the next steps

and how are they going to prepare themselves for those steps.

And when we're in that type of a relationship it gets,

you know, it gets to be a strongly bonded relationship

very quickly, because we're working on

some really deep issues, and that kind of support

in a time of crisis can really change a person's life

into even questioning, why would there be someone out there

that wants to assist and help me in that way and being able

to be the light of Jesus during that time for clients

who will receive it is a beautiful experience

and can change their lives forever.

Though we are also prepared to provide adoption,

this is not an agency that promotes pressure of women

to make an adoption decision.

Especially when a parenting decision might be very much

what she's capable of doing.

She just needs a little loving and support to get there.

So what you would find at Lutheran Family Service

has nothing to do with pressure, and everything to do

with finding a friend, a confidant, to sit down and talk to

and to make some really important decisions in your life.

But we're also walking with adoptive families, and for some,

those are families who've experienced infertility

that are also experiencing a difficult time

while they're waiting.

Waiting to find out whether or not a child will be received

in their home.

And that's obviously very difficult as well.

And you know, when I really look at this very broadly

and say when we're a voice in the public square,

we're walking with all those unborn children

who are vulnerable to abortion.

We're standing for them, standing in the gap.

We're standing in the gap for those who are elderly

and infirm who might be at risk

for physician assisted suicide,

should we allow that law to happen here in Iowa.

RBHS Office of Disability Services Orientation - Duration: 6:58.

Welcome from the RBHS Office of Disability Services.

I'm Cindy Poore-Pariseau, Director for the Office.

Over the next 5 minutes you will learn about the Office of Disability Services, and how

to register for services, if you are a student with a documented disability

Offices of Disability services for colleges and universities were established under the

Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

These laws are different than the laws that established services for students in Kindergarten

through 12th grade.

In the K12 system, the laws establish that all students will receive a free and appropriate

education, so these laws are about success.

In postsecondary institutions such as Rutgers, however The applicable disability related-laws

are in effect to establish equal access to an education, rather than to assure success

The role of the ODS is to assist the University in providing access for students with documented

disabilities through: Reasonable accommodations; Academic adjustments or Auxiliary Aids and/or

modifications to architectural barriers.

Depending on the disability, reasonable accommodations may include assistance with note taking, extended

time on tests, or sign language interpreters.

Specific student accommodations will depend on each student's access needs as well as

the course content.

A reasonable auxiliary aid might include adaptive equipment, assistive technology, books in

alternative formats.

It is important to note that a reasonable accommodation is one that does not require

a substantial change in the curriculum or alteration of any essential elements or functions

of the course, program, service, or activity.

Examples of disabilities that may be accommodated include those of a physical nature such as

paralysis; those of a psychological nature such as depression or anxiety; or other disabilities

such as autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and Sensory disabilities such as deafness or blindness

or learning disabilities such as dyscalculia or dyslexia

Now let's take a closer look at what access means.

In institutions of higher education such as Rutgers, we assist in providing students who

have documented disabilities the opportunity to acquire the same information, engage in

the same interactions and enjoy the same services as students without disabilities with substantially

equivalent ease of use.

It is important to note that, unlike high school, students with disabilities in colleges

and universities must proactively identify themselves to disability services as a student

with a disabilities and must register for services before any disability related services

can be provided.

I will now outline for you, the first steps you will need to take in order to register

for services as a student with a documented disability.

The first step you will need to take is to go online to ODS.rutgers.edu to complete the

online registration form.

Clicking on the "Registration form" link will take you to a page similar the one shown

on this slide, which begins with the title "Registration form" and continues with

links to the registrations forms—one link is for students who have their Rutgers NetID

and the second link shown in the slide is for students who do not yet have their Rutgers

NetID.

This page will instruct you on how to begin the registration process.

After completing the registration form, you will be emailed a copy of your completed form.

Shortly after submitting your registration form and receiving your confirmation, you

will be contacted to set up an appointment for an intake interview.

During this interview, I will explore with you your accessibility related needs and discuss

how we might best assist you in securing access to your education.

This intake interview can take place in person, by Skype, or by phone, whichever mode of communication

works best for you.

On or before your intake meeting, you will need to submit your disability –related

documentation by any of the following methods:

You may Upload your documentation through the ODS.rutgers.edu website or you may

send your documentation to me as an attachment in an email or you may

Fax the documentation.

Finally, if you are not able to submit your documentation prior to our first meeting,

you may Bring the documentation to your appointment.

Before submitting your documentation, however, please read the documentation guidelines from

the documentation link on ods.rutgers.edu.

Reading through and following these guidelines will allow the Disability Services to process

your request in a timely manner.

Upon completion of your intake, ODS will review your documentation as well as the information

collected during your interview.

You will receive a response to your request for accommodations in a timely manner with

one of the following application statuses: Reasonable Accommodations Approved or

More Information Needed or Accommodations Not Approved and an explanation

as to why the accommodations you requested were not approved

This response will also indicate your next steps.

I know that was a lot of information to take in in a short period of time.

If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please stop by, call,

or send me an email and we can arrange a day and time and a location to meet.

I am available to travel to campuses outside of Newark if that works best for you.

My email address is cindy.poorepariseau@rutgers.edu.

My phone number is 973-972-5396 and the office fax number is 973-972-7596.

Thank you and welcome from the Office of Disability Services.
