Mississippi Power, Southern Company announce smart neighborhood collaboration in Lauderdale County

PR Newswire

GULFPORT, Miss., Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Mississippi Power and Southern Company announced this morning a partnership to build the first smart neighborhood in the world exclusively featuring the Tesla Solar Roof in Lauderdale County.

Enzor Place homes will also feature Powerwall batteries, energy efficient equipment and appliances, and smart home automation.

“Mississippi Power uses the most advanced technologies to offer creative energy solutions that make our customers’ lives easier every day,” Mississippi Power President and CEO Anthony Wilson said. “This smart neighborhood is designed to simplify homeowners’ lives and give them more control over their home and energy use.”

Earlier this summer, Mississippi Power and Tesla installed the first Solar Roof in the state on a Habitat for Humanity home in Hattiesburg. The roof was installed by Cross Roofing, a Certified Tesla Installer, in less than three days. Mississippi Power is using the data collected at this residence to research how the Tesla Solar Roof performs in southeast Mississippi.

“Mississippi Power employees have volunteered on numerous Habitat for Humanity home builds across our service territory over the years,” Mississippi Power Vice President of Customer Service and Operations Fran Forehand said. “This was a natural partnership with Habitat that provides the added benefit of studying how an innovative technology can best serve our customers.”

Enzor Place will have approximately 45 homes in Phase I, with 100-150 planned for the full development. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2021.

Now in its 95th year of operations, Mississippi Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company (NYSE: SO), produces safe, reliable and affordable energy for more than 188,000 customers in 23 southeast Mississippi counties. With nearly 160 megawatts of approved solar energy capacity, Mississippi Power is the largest partner in providing renewable energy in the state of Mississippi.

Adyen Partners with Affirm Making it Easier for Merchants to Provide a Transparent Pay-Over-Time Option at Checkout

Adyen merchants can now seamlessly offer customers a way to pay over time with both online and in-store

PR Newswire

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Adyen (AMS: ADYEN), the global payments platform of choice for many of the world’s leading businesses, today announced a partnership with Affirm, a payment method that provides consumers a transparent way to pay over time online and in-store.

Adyen allows merchants to accept payments online, in-app, and in store. Through a single integration, Adyen’s merchants can now add Affirm as a payment option with a few clicks. By offering Affirm at checkout, both online and in-store via QR code, merchants can give their customers the option to split the cost of their purchase into installments and pay monthly or every other week, choosing a schedule that best fits their budget, without hidden or late fees.

“Consumers are increasingly looking for flexible and transparent ways to pay, and merchants who enable these types of payment options can rapidly accelerate their own sales,” said Silvija Martincevic, Affirm’s Chief Commercial Officer. “We’re excited to partner with Adyen to help ignite their merchants’ growth, while also bringing Affirm’s convenient and transparent pay-over-time option to even more consumers!”

“At Adyen, we aim to give our merchants’ shoppers the best experience possible by offering all the ways they like to pay,” said Brian Dammeir, President of North America at Adyen. “Partnering with Affirm makes sense as the demand for pay-over-time payment solutions has only grown in recent years in the United States, especially gaining traction as more people have been staying home. Our merchants see demand from their consumers for these sorts of payment options and we’re excited to bring Affirm onto Adyen’s platform both online and in-store.”

Adyen merchants that are offering Affirm include Bugaboo, whose eligible consumers can now buy their favorite high-end stroller or play yard and pay in monthly payments over 3, 6, or 12 months with interest as low as 0% APR. For example, a $600 purchase might cost $100 per month over 6 months at 0% APR.

Affirm’s 6,000 merchant partners, which include adidas, Bonobos, Casper, Dyson, Oscar de la Renta, Peloton, Walmart, and more, see an increase in average order value and overall sales. In 2019, merchants using Affirm reported 85% higher AOVs when compared to other payment methods, and in the first half of 2020 nearly 70% of Affirm purchases were from repeat users.

This new integrated offering is available now to Adyen’s eligible ecommerce merchants and will be available for in-store checkout through QR code in the coming weeks.

About Affirm
Affirm is purpose-built from the ground up to provide consumers and merchants with honest financial products and services that improve their lives. We are revolutionizing the financial industry to be more accountable and accessible while growing a network that is beneficial for consumers and merchants. Affirm provides more than 5.6 million U.S. and Canadian consumers a better alternative to traditional credit cards, giving them the flexibility to buy now and pay over time at virtually any store.

Affirm partners with over 6,000 merchants in the U.S., helping them grow sales and access new consumers. Our merchants include brands like Walmart, Peloton, Oscar de la Renta, Audi, and Expedia, and span verticals including home and lifestyle, travel, personal fitness, electronics, apparel and beauty, auto, and more. Payment options through Affirm are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders.

Keysight’s Performance Benchmarking Solution for Lab Networks enables mobile operators to flexibly, confidently and cost-effectively evaluate how 5G devices and 5G bases stations will perform in a live 5G NR network environment as new models, features and versions become available. The versatile test solution combines Keysight’s Nemo Outdoor 5G NR Drive Test Solution, Nemo 5G Device Analytics software, and PathWave Test Automation, a test sequencer built on OpenTAP, an open source test automation engine, and complemented with a wide range of test cases to create an automated test environment.

“We’re pleased to support mobile operators with an automated performance test solution that reduces time to market, while maintaining high quality standards, compared to manual processes,” said Petri Toljamo, vice president and general manager for Nemo wireless solutions at Keysight. “Frequent updates to devices and base stations, as well as the introduction of new models and versions, require a simple, workflow-connected solution that generates a single performance score for each device or base station under test.”

Keysight’s 5G Performance Benchmarking Solution for Lab Networks enables mobile operators to:

  • Evaluate multiple devices in a single test campaign using live base stations
  • Evaluate a 5G base station (gNodeB) using a reference 5G device
  • Compile key performance indicators (KPIs) across multiple test cases to generate a single score, reinforcing objective comparisons between the different models or versions under test
  • Access a single user interface for test plan execution, analysis, report generation and access to historical records
  • Expand test campaigns and evaluate advanced scenarios such as mobility by using OpenTAP and attenuators

“Keysight’s integrated solutions improve test automation and accelerate performance evaluation in a test laboratory environment prior to deployment enables Erillisverkot to provide secure and reliable information and communications technology (ICT) services to public authorities,” said Antti Kauppinen, head of department, mobile technology development and strategy, Erillisverkot Group. “Thorough and continuous testing of devices and network elements with new features and updates guarantees a smooth roll-out.”

Users can combine Keysight’s Performance Benchmarking Solution for Lab Networks with the company’s 5G Device Benchmarking Toolset, a first-to-market solution launched in March 2020, to verify devices using Keysight’s UXM 5G wireless test platform, a network emulator.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the results of COSIRA, Neovasc’s clinical study for the Reducer, contained imbalances in missing information present in the control group versus the treatment group, including significant missing information for secondary endpoints but none for the primary endpoint; (2) the imbalance in missing information indicated that control subjects were aware of their treatment assignment (not blinded) and less inclined to participate in additional data collection; (3) blinding is critical when studying a placebo-responsive condition such as angina; (4) the lack of blinding assessment made the primary endpoint difficult to interpret; (5) as a result of the foregoing, the FDA was reasonably likely to require additional premarket clinical data; (6) as a result, the Company’s PMA for Reducer was unlikely to be approved without additional clinical data; and (7) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
