Fast Change Technology: A Better Place and Switching Stations

There are two ways to take care of your hybrid or electric vehicle’s spent battery. You can charge it, a good option if you are close to home and are only using it for short trips or are home for the day and can charge it for a few hours, or even over night. However, if you would like to take your electric car on longer trips that take you farther away from home, there will have to be viable methods of keeping that vehicle charged. A Better Place has come up with the solution which they have demonstrated several times for the industry . The switching stations remove the battery from the car, replace it with a fully charged one and put the driver back on the road in very little time. The driver can either get out during the process or remain inside the car as the entire switch is expected to only take around eighty seconds.

A Better Place, who are the developers of this switching station technology, say that the stations can handle up to ten different battery types from a number of different auto makers, one of the biggest concerns about the new technology. Once removed, the batteries will be recharged using solar panels, which means there will be no toxic emissions. The recharged batteries will then be ready to be installed in the next customer’s car ensuring that there is a rotating supply of freshly charged batteries at all times.

The switching station has an automated, hands-off approach to the batteries which increases the efficiency of the change and decreases the expense needed to keep the stations running. Without having to make the change by hand, the stations can be operated with a minimum of staffing. Having the switching stations in key locations across the country will allow for longer and longer car trips made by the electric vehicles which are currently limited to the distances that they can safely travel without needing to be charged again.

The company plans to open around one hundred of the battery switching stations across Israel by the year 2011 with stations in Denmark closely thereafter. Additional switching stations will then follow in Australia, California, Hawaii and Ontario, Canada. As more people turn to electric cars for their main source of transportation, the need for more of these stations, which cost a reported $50,000 each to build, will certainly be needed. More automakers will develop their own electric vehicle type as well as increasing the number of models that they offer. Unless there is an agreed upon standard battery type for the industry, the need for a greater number of switching stations to can handle more cars will increase as well.

Why Buy a New Build Home

Every person dreams of a beautiful home and when you are planning to move to a big home or a better location there is nothing compared to buy a new build home. A big advantage of buying a new build home is that you’re less likely to have to do much maintenance, especially in the early years.
Here are some reasons why people prefer buying new build homes nowadays:

When you move in everything is spotless and new. You will not have to spend hours cleaning oily stains in kitchen, pencil marks on walls, and other dirt. There will not be any damaged or scratched surfaces. You will also not have to repaint You may get the chance to choose your own fixtures and fittings. Many developers offer this and it means you get to choose things to your taste, like the colour of walls, bathroom tiles or the type of door handles, so you don’t have to decorate when you move in. Compared to older homes, new build houses are built to thorough safety standards. Keeping Fire Exits and smoke alarms are kind of mandatory these days. Progressive technology has resulted in homes that are stronger and more solid. Such items as roofing shingles and windows are a better quality and last longer nowadays. New build homes are built using new technology. New homes will often come with certain Warranties like for few years; the home is covered for any drainage and structural defects. Your builder will explain how the warranty works. You know who built it and you can always catch the builder in case any problem arises.

But Buying a new built home also require some caution to be taken at buyer’s end . Show homes and shiny brochures sell the dream of the ‘perfect’ home, but that show home dream can become terrible experience.

Facebook Ad Disaster

You may have been given quite a few Facebook Ad tips by well-meaning friends or forum members. I just read one tip you should definitely avoid – and that’s creating a new Facebook account under a pen name for your business.

Let’s take the case of Walter (not his real name, of course.)  Walter wanted to market and create a Facebook ad for a small game he had developed, since he knew that Facebook was an especially fertile ground for ads involving fun and entertainment. However, he found out that all Facebook ads are linked to personal profiles.  His main Facebook profile presented him in a light that he felt would not sit well with his potential customer base, so he created another profile under the pen name he used for his blog (one he actually had registered at his bank so cheques could be made out to the pen name and cashed). In other words, it was perfectly legal with his bank to do business  under that name.

Walter had taken great pains on that particular blog, without telling any outright lies, to allow readers to think of him as much younger than he was. He used a younger “tone”, and learned the right idioms to help him fit in with his niche’s 17-21-year-old age group. So to fit in with the blog, he gave his Facebook alter-ego a much more recent birthdate, and randomly typed in the name of a college he’d never attended.

9 months later, his game was just beginning to enjoy success. He had added some apps, created a Facebook group and had about 23,000 subscribers.  The ad had been a definite success.

Then – disaster!  Facebook somehow found out his profile was “fake”. It was promptly pulled.

So was his ad.

His 23,000 subscribers – and all his apps and data – disappeared… into thin air.

There was nothing Walter could do about it… except start all over from scratch.

Note that Walter had no intention of being dishonest – merely clever (and perhaps a little playful).  “Fraud” never entered his head; and he had indeed checked to make sure that he was allowed to have more than one profile on Facebook.  But what he didn’t was thoroughly read Facebook’s terms, in which Section 4, “Registration and Account Security” states up front that you have to provide your real name and information.

The very first point in the list states:

“1. You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.”

Not only was Walter’s pen name “false”, in Facebook’s eyes, but also his birthdate and college.

Now, whether you think that Walter was being fraudulent or whether you understand his intentions and agree with his viewpoint that it was “marketing”, it doesn’t matter. The point is, Walter lost months of hard work, 23,000 and a lot of money.

The fine print can be maddening – especially on Facebook, where sections seem to contradict each other, and definitive answers are often only found after accessing many pages (not all of them easily found).

But if you are going to invest that much time and money into a marketing and advertising campaign, it pays not to ignore that fine print.

The price – as Walter will ruefully tell you – is far too high.
