We’re ListeningEveryone likes to hear when they are doing some-thing well. I think it is more important that you let people know when there is room for improvement. That information allows us to make improvements.According to member surveys, you tell us you are pleased with the service we provide. We conduct regular customer service surveys as well as customer satisfaction surveys every other year where you let us know what we are doing well and what needs improvement. We are constantly working to exceed your expectations. In 1952, we began printing this newsletter, sending important membership information to your homes every month. In those early years, we shared the phone number of the line crew leader you should call if your power was interrupted and news about our rapidly expanding distribution system. In 1997, we went global on the worldwide web, introducing our members to www.jacksonemc.com. Initially, we were sharing information about products and services. We’ve changed along the way, looking to our members to guide us. We created a customer ser-vice portal that is available 24/7 after website research where you told us you are most interested in coming to the site to pay your bill or receive outage information. Adapting to lifestyle changes, our site has become a mobile application giving you easy access to pay your bill and report outages from your phone.

We’re communicating through social media channels as well. More than 5,000 of you follow our Twitter feed and like our Facebook page. Our communications staff works to offer you new and inno-vative ways to receive informa-tion, making sure we are sharing the news and information that is most important to you in a way that fits your lifestyle. Along the way, we’ve reached out to you for feedback on how you want to communicate with your coopera-tive and what services you need access to. And you’ve

provided guidance to help us better serve you. We are asking again.

This month, we are conducting commu-nications research into our use of jacksonemc.com, social media, advertising, bill mes-sages and this monthly newsletter, Jemco News. Some of you will be called for your insight and opinion. Some others will be asked to partic-ipate in focus groups where we gain even more insight into how to com-municate with one another. I ask that you share openly and honestly.

But if we don’t call you, you can still help our com-munications and, in turn, our member service. We’ve developed a short survey to capture your answers. Visit our website for more information.

The

W hat a hobbyist calls a “Mickey Mouse” insulator is one of the first pin-top power distribution insulators used. Originally developed to insulate telegraph and phone wires, glass insulators were also used on electrical lines to prevent the flow of energy from the line to the ground. Whitworth’s first insulator was a splurge at $30; most cost a dollar or less. “I collect these because this is my business, and understanding the history is interesting to me,” he said. Whitworth began his career at Jackson EMC in 1979 as a lineman. He now serves as district operations superintendent in the Gainesville district.

His collection includes rare items, like the “Mickey Mouse” insulators he favors, as well as several colored communication insulators, tiny radio antenna insulators and a porcelain insulator dated the year he was married, 1978. He began collecting insulators about 15 years ago. He admits he’d like to have some he and his friends used to throw rocks at when they were just boys. “They used to be everywhere, just cast aside. We never thought to pick them up,” he said. “Now, you

see them mostly in people’s old chicken houses, just the ones they picked up and saved.”

As the population grew, so did the demand for elec-tricity, and insulators had to be larger to control the voltage running through the power lines. Insulators are still used today, but they look and feel different. The industry transitioned from colored glass to clear glass, to ceramic and now to polymer or plastic. As new lines are built, or older equipment is replaced, the new plastic insulators are used.“These are better for reliability because they are lighter, won’t break and they last longer,” Whitworth said.

Whitworth may add one of the new plastic insulators to his collection. Who knows, one day we may be collecting those too.

ABOUT LUPUS

What Is Lupus?

Lupus is a chronic, or long-term, autoimmune

disease. People with lupus have an overactive and

misdirected immune system. Lupus is systemic,

meaning that it affects various parts of the body,

including joints, kidneys and other organs, skin,

blood and even the brain.

What are the Types of Lupus?

In general, when people mention lupus, they are

talking about systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE);

however, there are four main types of lupus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). While

SLE generally is considered the most serious form

of lupus, cases range from very mild to severe. SLE

affects various parts of the body and can cause

joint pain, fatigue, hair loss, sensitivity to light,

fever, rash and kidney issues.

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Cutaneous

means “relating to the skin.” Cutaneous lupus can

cause rashes, lesions, hair loss, ulcers, photosensitiv-

ity or swelling of the blood vessels in the skin (vas-

culitis). There are three types of cutaneous lupus:

• Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) mainly

affects the skin. Discoid lupus lesions often

are red, raised and scaly. They usually do not

hurt, but they can cause scarring or perma-

nent skin discoloration. Discoid lesions also

are very photosensitive. Some people with

DLE will go on to develop SLE.

• Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus

causes extensive red scaly lesions on parts of

the body exposed to sun and artificial light,

commonly the arms, neck and shoulders.

Approximately 50 percent of people with

subacute cutaneous lupus also have SLE.

• Acute cutaneous lupus lesions occur in

people who are experiencing a flare of their

SLE. The most common form is a malar or

butterfly rash that resembles sunburn across

the bridge of the nose and cheeks.

Drug-induced lupus. Certain types of drugs that

treat chronic conditions such as hypertension, sei-

zures or rheumatoid arthritis can cause this type of

lupus. Drug-induced lupus mirrors SLE; however,

the symptoms often subside once the medicine is

discontinued.

Neonatal lupus. Though rare, neonatal lupus can

affect infants of women who have lupus. Antibod-

ies transferred from the mother to the baby in the

womb are the cause of neonatal lupus. In most

cases, the symptoms disappear after approximately

six months. Symptoms of neonatal lupus include

rash, liver problems and low blood cell counts.

Very rarely, an infant with neonatal lupus can have

a serious heart defect. Physicians usually can iden-

tify a mother who’s at risk, and the infant can be

treated at or before birth to minimize symptoms.

Neonatal lupus is not necessarily an indication

that the baby will develop lupus later in life.

2

Systemic lupus erythematosus

accounts for approximately 70

percent of all cases of lupus.

Both of these levels are markers for inflam-mation. A high ESR or CRP combined with other signs of lupus can help make a

diagnosis and assess disease activity. Developing Your Lupus Treatment PlanLupus is likely to cause changes in your daily life, but there is good news: Developments in lupus management are moving at a rapid pace. While some researchers are seeking new, more effective and safer treatments for lupus, others are inves-tigating possible causes or working to identify potential risk factors for developing the disease. setting treatment goaLs and strategiesThe first issues you will face after your lupus diagnosis are treatment decisions. To help make these choices, you need to understand the goals of lupus treatment and how drugs are used to meet these goals. Why is it important to see your doCtor reguLarLy? You and your doctor each play a role in making

sure your lupus treatment is as safe as possible. Once treatment starts, it is monitored with regu-lar office visits and blood tests, many of which measure levels of proteins in the blood that sig-nal the presence of inflammation and antibodies in the blood. More frequent office visits and

– Blood chemistry tests and urine studies. These tests can help determine whether your organs, such as the kidneys and liver,

are functioning normally.– Biopsy. Taking a small piece of tissue from a rash or from the kidney when lupus is active can help definitively diagnose the disease.– Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA). If your rheumatologist suspects lupus, he or she

will order an ANA test, which detects a group of proteins found in the blood of people with lupus. These autoantibodies attack the body’s own cells. While this test alone does not diagnose lupus, paired with other symptoms and lab results, it can help confirm a diagnosis. – Antibody testing. If your ANA is posi-tive, your doctor may order for specific antibody tests. Antiphospholipid antibod-

ies, including cardiolipin, are common in lupus. They are associated with an in-creased risk for blood clotting, strokes and

recurrent miscarriages. – Complement proteins. This blood test measures the level of complement proteins

in your blood. People with lupus often have reduced levels of complement, which can indicate active lupus. – Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, or

“sed rate”) and C-reactive protein (CRP).

Learn how to spot the symptoms of an unhealthy tree.

Are YourTrees Safe?

By Jennifer Dunn

How to Evaluate HardwoodsLook to the sky All the branches and tips on a hardwood with healthy roots will reach up to try and absorb as much sunlight as possible. A tree that droops to one side could have dead roots.

Watch for leaning A healthy tree stands tall, while a tree in trouble leans. If a tree inclines toward the house, it’s time to call in a tree care professional.

Inspect the tree’s base A healthy base will be free of blemishes. Signs of ill health include cavities or rot on the tree and its roots. The presence of mushrooms or fungi could mean that your tree is rotten on the inside, even though it looks perfectly healthy on the outside. Brown “wood shrooms” could indicate that fungus has eaten through your tree’s cellulose, completely separating the tree from its roots and causing a serious hazard.

Search for deadwood A dead limb can eventually affect the health of the whole tree. Signs of deadwood include peeling bark, a lone branch without leaves or a branch where leaves fail to drop off in the fall even though the rest of the tree has already shed its foliage.

Dead or diseased trees can be a major threat to your home. Metro Atlanta arborist Bob Stancil shares the signs tree care professionals look for when evaluating a tree’s health.

DESIGN YOUR

Everything you need to know to

cool off in style this summer.

By Jennifer-Dunn

Dream Pool

As outdoor living

spaces become more

sophisticated, more

and more Metro Atlantans

are choosing a pool as their

backyard’s crowning jewel.

Scot Cantrell, who has

installed pools in Metro

Atlanta for 16 years, has

tips on what you need to

know about planning and

installing the perfect pool.

Choosing Your

Pool’s Shape

Your pool installer will

advise you that the shape of

your pool depends on your

budget, the materials you

choose and how you plan to

use the pool. Do you plan to

spend the whole summer

in the pool? Use it more for

kids’ activities? Or perhaps

use it mostly for workouts?

All of these factors will

figure into your decision.

Most cost-effective

Atlanta area pools are

rectangular, kidney-shaped

or peanut-shaped. The

“lazy L” shape was once

common but has now fallen

out of favor. If you’d rather

customize the shape of your

pool, your pool installer will

assist you with a site plan.

Placing Your Pool

The average pool in the

Atlanta area is 16 by 32

feet, and most backyards

can accommodate one.

Don’t worry if your

backyard is hilly. Says

Cantrell, “I’ve been installing

pools for 16 years and have

installed maybe six pools

on a level surface.” Some

uneven back yards can even

lend themselves to certain

water features, such as a

vanishing edge.

Your pool professional will

help you decide on orienta-

tion and location of your

pool for optimal sun and

wind conditions. Generally

a southern exposure or west-

facing pool is best for Metro

Atlanta’s geography.

Be sure to consider local

codes and zoning, as well as

your homeowners associa-

tion’s rules. These rules may

apply to the fences, patios

and decks you build to ac-

company your new outdoor

pool, too. Your pool instal-

lation professional can help

you navigate permitting and

zoning requirements.

Choosing Your

Pool TypePools can be fabricated

from vinyl lining, concrete

HEY,DO YOU DO JIRA YET?The Rubicon Jira instance came to life March 13, 2015 (local install), and now serves over 250 users with over 5,675 issues/work items logged in Jira, wait… 5,676 issues/work items, wait… 5,677 – never mind.

JOACHIM HANSSON, Rubicon PMO

WHY JIRA, WHY NOW? We wanted to get things done faster this year by adopting an Agile approach for everything we do. When it comes to daily task management, we used to have multiple tools, each team using something different. We needed a simple, easy-to-learn tool that has a fast and intuitive web interface that would allow us to organize our work in Agile fashion. Jira met our needs. The fact that it integrates nicely with other tools such as GitHub, Slack and Confluence was a huge plus. Also, the fact that our partner organizations, such as ASD and VMware, use it was just a bonus.

Most Rubicon teams use Jira Kanban Boards. It offers an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface to move tasks from one state to another with high visibility to blockers that prevent tasks from moving forward. The visibility to blockers gives the project team and management an instant view of what prevents the project/deliverables from moving forward, so that proper attention could be given in a timely manner. It also reduces the communication burden among the project team members, since everybody knows what others are working on.

The easy-to-use interface, combined with the high adoption rate within Rubicon, makes Jira a collaboration tool of choice that embraces the Agile approach for everything we do and supports our PMO 2.0 strategy.

WELCOME TO THE ROCC!The Aloha Program Details Onboarding Services to the ROCC

QUALITY MATTERS CORNER

The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Businessby Patrick Lencioni

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivityby David Allen

The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps and Helping Your Business Winby Gene Kim

The following books are on the Rubicon Cloud Services bookshelf:

This month’s Quality Matters Corner is a reminder of the process introduced by Cloud Operations several months ago concerning onboarding Services to the ROCC.

Rubicon Cloud Operations (RCO) developed a method which they use to ensure that they have what is needed to “stand up” a service in the ROCC, a critical component of onboarding.

The method, codenamed “Aloha”, acts as its title suggests in that it’s used to ingest a service to the ROCC

(which in this context also includes

MSG and QA). Aloha also covers services that we’re dismounting from support.

Each team in RCO has identified a series of Deliver-ables that requestors checklist through to ensure that all aspects of the process are accounted for. For all deliverables that aren’t applicable to a given effort, they are exempted upon agreement by authorized decision-makers.

The process is indifferent to any delivery method chosen by the organization to check off the con-tent. RCO deliverables can be managed via Agile, Iterative, Hybrid, or other methods. The key is being organized, which should raise the effectiveness of the service’s support in the long run.

Please refer to the method in ICON, and feel free to contact Dean Molette in RCO for any questions regarding the Service Delivery Method.

At a high level, PMO 2.0 is about embracing the Agile Approach in everything we do in Rubicon, especially in our project delivery efforts, so that we get things done faster with shorter

cycle times. Bringing it down a level, we’re aiming to accomplish the following objectives -

FASTER EXECUTION

“Getting things done faster” with shorter cycle times

Continue to hit target dates

EVOLVE APPROACH

Waterfall to Agile/Lean

Increase “agile maturity”

Expand scrum masters

Help the entire organization move to Agile thinking, not just the software development team. With the Leadership Team helping drive this initiative, we’ll gain the following:

MATURE RESOURCE PLANNING

Overall project calendar

Resource allocation across Service Lines

Minimize unplanned work

This requires re-thinking our work culture, practices and processes, and the tools that we use. This exercise also addresses daily task assignments, resource forecasting and planning, master project schedules and time track-ing to determine how it can support accomplishing infrastructure deployment work.

As a start, we defined the Rubicon Hybrid Project Delivery Approach. In short, it means that we’ll adopt the Scrum Methodology for our Software Development efforts while using the Hybrid approach for non-SW development efforts. The following graph depicts what the Hybrid approach means.

WHERE DO WE STAND

on PMO 2.0?

f e a t u r e

Since March 2015, the PMO has been driving an initiative called PMO 2.0. This culture-changing work is helping us become more agile, deliver customer value faster, and is putting us in a much stronger position for resource allocation planning. We are excited to share the details of PMO 2.0 and where it stands now.
