RWE is planning to build hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants at the company's power plant sites in Germany to contribute to a successful coal phase-out by 2030
Following Weisweiler in the Rhenish mining area
the company is now pressing ahead with plans for such a plant at a possible second site in Werne in the southern Münsterland region
An H2-ready combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant with a nominal capacity of around 800 megawatts may be built at the Gersteinwerk power plant
RWE has commissioned an Italian-Spanish consortium to plan the project
Work on the planning approval process is already underway.
CEO RWE Generation SE: "With the approval planning for a hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plant at the Gersteinwerk
we are taking proactive measures to keep the chance of completion by 2030 open
With the construction of the new power plant
we are ready to contribute to green security of supply and thus secure the coal phase-out by 2030
This requires policymakers to quickly make some key decisions
We can only make a final investment decision once the connection of the site to a hydrogen network has been secured and the framework conditions allow for a commercially viable operation of the power plants."
The German government has announced that its power plant strategy will soon create a regulatory framework for tendering hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants
RWE intends to participate in these tenders
According to the recently presented plans for the construction of a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany
the Gerstein plant in Werne could be located close to a hydrogen transport pipeline in the future
A consortium consisting of Ansaldo Energia (Italy) and Tecnicas Reunidas (Spain) has won RWE's tender for the hydrogen-ready CCGT
The contract signed by the three partners includes approval planning for the power plant as a first step
Work on the planning process is already underway
This is the prerequisite for RWE to be able to start implementing the project as soon as an investment decision has been made.
the plant in Werne could start producing electricity by 2030
the plant should be able to use a fuel mix with at least 50 per cent hydrogen content
and it is intended to run it entirely on hydrogen at a later stage.
A visualisation of the planned plant can be found in the RWE media library (source: RWE)

E3/DC says a residential battery integrated with an LG Energy Solution module recently caught fire in Werne
prompting the company to replace battery modules in 77 homes as a precaution
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation
From pv magazine Germany
A fire broke out last week in the basement of a home in Werne
involving an E3/DC residential battery with an LG Energy Solution module
The team said they struggled to extinguish the 6 kWh battery blaze
A fire department spokesperson told pv magazine that it was an S10 home power plant from German supplier E3/DC
“The team tried to extinguish the enclosed 6 kWh battery
which was difficult due to the flames flaring up repeatedly behind the sheet metal cladding,” said the volunteer fire department
E3/DC has also confirmed the fire involved a S10E 6.5 home power station installed in 2019
The company said it is helping LG Energy Solution with investigations and plans to replace battery modules from the same production batch as a precaution
Firefighters disconnected the power at the sub-distribution box and used gel extinguishers to cool the battery
Local utility RWE shut off the main power to the home due to damages
The operation involved 38 volunteers over a period of four hours
Despite sporadic fires in PV storage systems

The Indiana State Police is standing by its investigation of Warrick County government
Longtime attorney Anthony Long says his client
Warrick County Interim Health Administrator Marlin Weisheit
should have Misconduct and Conversion charges against him dropped
Long also told WFIE TV that officials should apologize to Weisheit for the “humiliation” he’s endured
But the ISP says it stands by the integrity of the investigation completed by Sergeant Brock Werne
State Police say Werne has “represented countless victims of crimes and has sought to hold those responsible accountable for their criminal actions.”
The ISP says Long is trying to “create distrust and speculation” and police will not comment further
Weisheit is accused of using former Health Board Officer Dr
Rick Yeager’s signature stamp without his knowledge and authorizing $9,600 in pay for himself
Warrick County Commissioners later declared the transfer of funds an error
The three commissioners – all Republicans -- face charges in the probe and two of them were defeated in the May primary

David Nail has been married to his wife
since 2009. The singer says that he knew soon after he met his now-wife that she was the one for him; in fact
he even went as far as to boldly proclaim his intentions to her parents right after they started dating
"I’m About to Come Alive." I had just done a radio visit in San Diego
so I decided to go to a local place called Tin Roof
and a buddy of mine forced me to come back," Nail tells The Boot
"There was a guy that was frequenting the bar there
and he kept talking about this girl in a green dress -- all night long
about this girl in a green dress: 'David
I swear she’s never been here before.'
"I really wasn’t trying to hit on her at all; I wanted to let her know that she was extremely popular that night
I didn’t do so good of a job the first night
"He came to stay with me two weeks later and wrote a note to my parents saying he was going to marry me."
Nail and Werne's relationship has weathered plenty of storms over the years, including the country artist's highly publicized battle with depression
“She’s just been there. And there have been so many moments where I wouldn’t have blamed her for leaving,” Nail says
“I think she always believed there was a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel … She’s just a trooper
She’s the first to admit it’s a contract we signed through thick and thin
through sickness and health — ‘I’m in this committed … ’til death do us part.’”
In December of 2015, Nail and Werne welcomed their first children, a set of twins. Son Lawson Brent Nail was born first, followed by daughter Lillian Catherine Nail. In 2020, the couple welcomed another baby girl, Ellie Britton

Nearly 22,000 thousand displaced citizens at Kao Nyaro in Abu Jubeiha County and Werne (Verni) in Talodi County in South Kordofan State are suffering from hunger and poor health conditions
an opposition figure in the area claimed in an interview
The mentioned villages are in isolated areas are under control of SPLM-North in south-eastern Kordofan
told Radio Tamazuj that there are about 22,000 citizens suffering from hunger and lack of health services in Kao Nyaro and Werne areas
He described the conditions of citizens as “miserable and very difficult from the lack of food and poor health conditions,” adding that there is a sharp rise in the mortality rate among children
amid a complete absence of organizations working in the humanitarian field
He explained that citizens at Kao Nyaro and Werne villages had been suffering since the outbreak of the war in South Kordofan on June 2011
saying that people “are eating leaves and roots of trees and use some kinds of trees as medicines.”
Al Dewan pointed to the “complete failure” of the 2012 agricultural season making the situations difficult for villagers
He also demanded the two parties to the conflict in the state allow aid organizations to intervene to save the lives of citizens of the two mentioned areas
“Everyday people are dying from hunger and sickness especially children and elderly,” he said
Installation of Germany’s first megabattery is complete
RWE succeeded in building a battery system with a total capacity of 117 megawatts (128 megawatt hours / MWh)
the new system is capable of delivering the specified power for around an hour
A total of 420 blocks of lithium-ion batteries have been installed at RWE power plant sites in Lingen (Lower Saxony
The company inaugurated the plant in Lingen in a ceremony attended by Christian Meyer
Lower Saxony’s Minister of the Environment and Energy
said: “With the increasing expansion of renewable energies
Germany needs innovative storage solutions on an industrial scale that can step in when the wind and sun are not supplying
we are setting benchmarks in this country with our mega-battery
The completed battery storage facilities and our hydroelectric power plants on the Moselle will work hand in hand in the future to help stabilise the electricity grid.”
What makes the new battery storage system special is its virtual connection with RWE’s run-of-river power plants along the Moselle River
By selectively regulating the flow rate at these plants
RWE is able to provide additional power as balancing energy
the total capacity of power available for grid stabilisation in this system increases by up to 15 percent
The company has invested around 50 million euros into the megabattery project
The battery storage system has already fed electricity into the grid and is currently going through a trial run
Commercial operation is scheduled to start in the next few days
Tests have also been successfully carried out on the software that RWE developed for intelligent linking to the Moselle power plants
Regular application of the programme is scheduled to start in the spring
RWE was able to draw on extensive in-house experience in energy storage systems
The company took exclusive control of project planning
because the megabattery takes advantage of available areas at RWE power plant sites
the batteries can utilise existing grid infrastructure to feed electricity in and out of the grid
Battery storage @ RWE
Battery storage systems are an essential part of the energy transition as they store the leftover electricity resulting from an overproduction in the grid and release it again when energy is needed
As a driving force behind the energy transition
and operates battery storage systems in Europe
RWE is currently operating battery storage projects with an installed capacity of around 270 megawatts / MW (280 MWh)
while completing battery storage projects around the world with a capacity of more than 700 MW (1,700 MWh)
RWE aims to build battery storage systems with a total capacity of three gigawatts worldwide by 2030
RWE makes use of storage systems from used electric car batteries (“second life” batteries) or liquid batteries known as RedOx flow systems
RWE offers industrial customers tailor-made
drawing on the company’s expertise in energy trading and innovative storage systems

Archaeologists from the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association (LWL) have unearthed remnants of early medieval farmsteads and Iron Age burials over the course of excavations spanning a 7.5-hectare area near the town of Werne in North Rhine-Westphalia
revealed traces of a settlement outside Werne
with residential buildings dating back to around 867 CE
according to a news release from the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe
including barns and sunken-featured buildings
were arranged around a central farmstead and separated by ditches
The discovery of a well further aided in dating the site
with dendroarchaeological analysis indicating a construction date of approximately 867 CE
aligning with the time of Louis the German’s reign
head of the dendroarchaeology laboratory at the University of Cologne
remarked on the significance of the well’s construction date
“A felling date of the tree of 867 +/- ten years could be determined.” This finding underscores the importance of the site during the late 9th century CE
situated on the edge of the Lippe floodplain
likely supported a dense population of farms during the medieval period
Excavation leader Christopher Otto noted that similar settlements existed nearby
with one discovered over a century ago just west of the current site
challenges arose during the excavation process
particularly in February when heavy rains inundated the area
requiring the use of pumps to continue the work
the archaeologists made a surprising discovery: ancient graves dating back to the Iron Age
nearly 1,000 years earlier than the medieval settlement
indicative of burial practices during the late Iron Age
along with grave goods and remnants of funeral pyres
This unexpected find suggests the possibility of an older settlement buried beneath or in proximity to the medieval site
emphasized the importance of the botanical material preserved in the well
even finely divided botanical material such as leaves and small twigs was preserved.”
researchers remain hopeful that further discoveries will provide answers to lingering questions about the area’s history
“Whether traces of a settlement from the same period can be found is one of the many questions to which we hope to find answers through further excavation progress.”

Global energy company RWE will bring a 72MW battery energy storage system (BESS) online in November in Werne
the first of two connected systems totalling 112MW
The Werne battery system will be virtually coupled with another 45MW unit at a power plant in Lingen, also in development, and existing run-of-river hydropower facilities along the river Mosel, as Energy-Storage.news wrote when the project was announced last year.
RWE told Enegy-Storage.news that the two BESS units would have a combined energy capacity of 128MWh
The spokesperson did not say when the Lingen unit is expected to come online
Energy-Storage.news has asked for further clarification and will update the story when a response is received
RWE used its proprietary enclosure design and will apply its own Energy Management System to manage the safe and reliable operation of the BESS units
The two BESS units are made up of 420 lithium-ion battery racks in 47 overseas shipping containers
“With a combined output of 117 MW the combined battery storage system will be one of the greatest in Germany,” they said
Though the 72MW Werne unit alone may be the largest in the country when it comes online in November
The largest operational facility that Energy-Storage.news is aware of is the 60MW/52MWh Lausitz Battery Energy Storage System
attached to a coal plant operated by power plant operator and utility LEAG
The College Corner opened a second location in Flowood during the fourth quarter last year
“We opened in mid-October,” said Scott Werne of Madison
owns The College Corner stores in Flowood and Ridgeland.
“We expected to open in July but made it in October
We missed football season but made it for the holiday season
the store sits in a new shopping center situated between Half Shell Oyster House and Michaels and behind a Trustmark branch
The two College Corner brick-and-mortar locations and the retailer’s website specialize in licensed college merchandise from caps to cowbells
T-shirts to tailgate supplies — and more
brands and price points,” Werne said
To make the most of its financial resources and to serve its customers well
the store focuses on just a handful of colleges
The Ridgeland store in Trace Station Shopping Center
stocks gifts and gear for fans of the University of Mississippi
Louisiana State University and the University of Alabama
while the Flowood store stocks gifts and gear for fans of Ole Miss
“Ole Miss and Mississippi State make up 90 percent of sales and always have,” Werne said.
Football season drives sales from August through October when shoppers tend to stock up on fan gear.
A single customer may shop for a new polo-style shirt and cap
a cheerleader costume or jersey for a child and tailgate supplies
Some customers opt not to tailgate but still purchase supplies with their favorite team logos for “home gates,” occasions when they invite family and friends over to watch football games at their homes
Just as the football season dies down
the holiday retail season kicks in and that brings “moms
dads and grandparents looking for gifts from jackets to mini footballs to mugs,” Werne said
Business slows in the first quarter of the year but perks up with Valentine’s Day
Birthdays and retirements also boost sales
Successful seasons for teams mean more financial success for the stores because fans tend to invest in gear to show their support
“We want all of our teams to be undefeated in every sport every year,” Werne said
The success of the Ridgeland store – plus a nudge by the owner of the shopping center in Flowood where the new store is located – drove the decision to pursue a second location
“We had so much success with our first store in Ridgeland that we felt like the Dogwood Festival Market area in Flowood would be a natural fit for a second location,” Werne said
The Wernes decided to get into retail after they noticed the metro area lacked a store that specialized in licensed merchandise for fans of the largest state universities.
Scott Werne searched stores in the metro area for a particular knit shirt and did not find it at any of the Big Box sporting goods stores that sell such
He ended up buying a shirt after standing in line for an hour and a half on game day at a store that specialized in apparel for his favorite team
The love of sports runs deep in his family
One of his great-grandfathers played football on the first University of Southern Mississippi football (Mississippi Normal College) team in 1912 and his grandfather played baseball for the University of Alabama
but became a professional golf pro instead.
The College Corner in Flowood is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m
The College Corner in Ridgeland is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m

EVANSVILLE — A former Evansville preschool teacher accused in August of molesting a student is behind bars again after prosecutors charged him with two additional child sexual abuse offenses
Evansville police arrested 21-year-old Joshua Brandon Leduc on Wednesday evening on charges of child seduction
Leduc formerly taught pre-kindergarten classes at Bethel United Church of Christ
Leduc was arrested and charged with two counts of child molestation in August after he was allegedly recorded by classroom surveillance cameras sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl
Leduc was out on bond in that case when he was arrested Wednesday
Bethel United Church of Christ terminated Leduc's employment Aug
2 after it was made aware of the first allegation
lead pastor Samuel Buehrer told the Courier & Press
More:Controversial law is at heart of threat to Evansville mayoral candidates' eligibility
a second student accused Leduc of molestation in February
Werne said the 6-year-old victim attended Bethel Buddies
During a forensic interview conducted at Holly's House
the child reportedly said Leduc touched her inappropriately as she built a puzzle in his classroom
the victim identified Leduc in a randomized photo lineup as the man who molested her
Anna Gray said detectives are not seeking out other potential victims at this time
"They will investigate any allegations that come forward," Gray told the Courier & Press
victims come forward once word is passed around."
the Bethel United Church of Christ's preschool program sent an email to parents disclosing the latest allegation against Leduc
More:Prosecutors say digital evidence was key to securing Heidi Carter's conviction
The church informed the Vanderburgh County Department of Child Services in August that Leduc had been accused of molesting a student
The EPD took up the investigation and spoke to the victim's mother about the alleged abuse
Werne said he reviewed surveillance footage recorded by a camera in Leduc's classroom that appeared to corroborate the first victim's account
showed Leduc molesting the victim behind a cabinet
Surveillance footage captured in the school's hallway also appeared to show Leduc following the victim into a restroom
where he remained with the victim for more than three minutes
More:Study recommends converting a Henderson building into a boutique hotel
Buehrer said the church installed cameras in classrooms prior to the August incident in order to protect students and teachers
After the footage showed Leduc allegedly using furniture to block the cameras
Buehrer said the school reorganized classroom layouts
"We've also moved some cameras to what we think might be better locations," Buehrer said
"We moved the rooms around and the furniture in the rooms to eliminate any blind spots."
Leduc is currently being held at the Vanderburgh County jail on a $100,000 bond
Vanderburgh County Superior Court Judge Robert Pigman set Leduc's bond during his initial court appearance Thursday morning
Gray said the EPD encourages any parent who feels their child may have been victimized "to call 911 and report it so it can be investigated."
Buehrer said the school took a "proactive" approach to improve child safety following Leduc's first arrest in August
"It's painful when these things happen; you never wish them to happen on your watch," Buehrer said
"We're just praying for everybody and praying for justice in this case."

Lee responded to a domestic disturbance call that escalated to pushing and yelling
according to video footage viewed by Indiana State Police Detective Brock Werne
In a probable cause affidavit filed by Werne on March 3
the detective wrote security camera footage captured Lee lunging toward the man who filed the complaint against the former officer
Werne also viewed Lee's body camera footage in which the officer is heard warning the man he would "end up on the wrong side of this."
The man was not wanted on criminal charges
Lee's body camera footage ended with Lee yelling at the man and then lunging at him

The investigation was spurred by a citizen complaint filed June 8
alleging Lee had battered a resident during an arrest
ISP detective Brock Werne wrote that his department was contacted Aug
2021 to conduct an investigation into the citizen complaint
The complaint alleges Lee pushed the individual
choked him and then "pushed himself up off the ground with the complainant's neck between his hand and floor
who agreed to provide a statement on the incident the following week
Werne was contacted by legal representation for the complainant
who provided the detective with security camera footage of the incident
following audible dialogue between the former officer and the complainant
extending his hands forward into his chest and pushing him against a refrigerator.
Warne states that the complainant can be heard asking Lee
Lee then can be seen pushing the complainant down to the kitchen floor and getting on top of him
with the complainant's hands visible at his sides
Werne stated that the complainant can be heard telling Lee
"Choke me out as long as you [expletive] want [expletive]," before Lee then got off of him
BPD Chief Terry Moore provided the detective with additional information
including Lee's body camera footage from the incident
the first body camera video shows Lee asking for the complainant's ID
Lee then checks with dispatch and finds the individual was not wanted for any criminal charges

Lee then "repeatedly" asks if he needs an ambulance to take him away for medical care
because his finger was bleeding at this time
Lee then tells him to stop raising his voice
to which the complainant responded by asking the former officer what he was going to do about it
"You're going to end up on the wrong side of this," Lee proceeded to warn the man
Lee then asked him once again if he needed an ambulance
I [expletive] said I don't want an ambulance," before turning to talk to another officer on scene
Werne then said that Lee can be heard yelling
shut the [expletive] up," at the complainant
leading him to respond with "[expletive] you [expletive]."
Lee then was said to have lunged at the man and pushed him before the footage "abruptly" ends
An interview was conducted by Werne with Lee on Aug
Lee told the detective he responded to a call at the residence
where he found the complainant with a cut on his finger
Lee told police that he believed the individual was intoxicated
Lee stated that the two exchanged some words before he approached the complainant
"in a way that was going to tell him he needed to show some respect," Werne wrote in the affidavit
prompting him to trip him and take him to the ground
where he said he remained on top of him until he calmed down
Based on the circumstances in which it occurred
Lee said that he believed the man had spit on him intentionally.
Lee denied choking or punching the complainant at any point during the encounter
The complainant was not arrested for battery on an officer after the incident based on the discretion of former officer Lee at the time
He told Werne that had he arrested the man
he would have had to sit with him at the hospital
based on his finger injury and his alleged intoxication at the time
He said in previous situations where he had been spit on he had not made arrests
Lee also referenced the heated exchange between the two
saying that with the situation already being tense
placing the complainant in handcuffs would have been difficult for the responding officers
Lee told Werne he had seen the video of the incident
telling him that had he been looking to do harm
he would not have had his hands in his vest at the time

When asked by Werne about why his body camera had shut off during the encounter
Lee told him that he did not know why it had turned off
but that the cameras slip off easily and he later turned it back on after realizing it was no longer recording
The complainant provided a statement to ISP about the incident
that Werne said described events in a manner consistent with the provided video evidence
"In my comparison of the body camera and home security videos
Lee can be clearly seen lunging toward [the complainant] until Lee's nose is just Inches from [the complainant's] face
Lee places his hands on [the complainant's] chest and pushes [the complainant] back toward the refrigerator

and gets on top of [the complainant]," Werne wrote in the document
Norway 21 December 2023 - Kyoto Group is pleased to announce that it has signed a term sheet for delivering a Heatcube to one of Germany's major paper and packaging manufacturers—Klingele
The designated site for installing a first Heatcube is at Klingele’s facility in Werne
a global manufacturer with 13 corrugated board plants worldwide
aims to achieve a reduction of CO2 emissions by the year 2030
At the plant in Werne a reduction of 55% of CO2 emissions is planned by 2030
This goal will be accomplished through the utilization of off-grid wind and solar energy
coupled with the replacement of the existing gas boilers for steam production
To address the intermittent nature of renewables
Klingele plans to install Kyoto Group's molten salt thermal energy storage solution
This innovative system will capture electricity when available and supply steam as needed
The recently announced AI-powered back end of Heatcube will also ensure state-of-the-art preventive and predictive maintenance for Klingele
The signed term sheet outlines the project pricing and payment terms for the engineering study that will commence in January 2024 as well as for the Heatcube purchase agreement which the parties aim to sign within April 2024
The purchase agreement is conditional upon receiving public grants and the confirmation of reactivation of an existing windmill
Chief Commercial Officer of Kyoto Group: “Our collaboration with Klingele Group is robust and productive and we are looking forward to initiating the engineering and feasibility study immediately
We are committed and determined to support the decisive first movers in this important industry
Addressing the sector's significant demand for dependable
Heatcube aligns well with Klingele's steam and energy storage needs
actively supporting their ambitious targets to curtail CO2 emissions across their facilities.”
the Klingele Group is one of Germany's largest manufacturers of corrugated raw paper
and packaging made from corrugated cardboard
In their recently released Sustainability Report
Klingele Group defines the combination of innovations
and economic growth as the basis for a successful international business strategy

International energy company RWE is about to take two battery storage projects virtually coupled with existing run-of-river hydroelectric plants into commercial operation in Germany
The company announced the completion of the two lithium-ion battery storage projects in Lingen (Lower Saxony) and Werne (North Rhine-Westphalia)
which total 117MW of power and 128MWh of energy storage
The facilities are going through a trial run and will begin commercial operation in the next few days, it added. Earlier statements provided to Energy-Storage.news by the company said the Werne facility would enter commercial operations in November 2022
The Lingen site is the smaller of the two at 45MW while Werne is likely to be Germany’s largest operational battery storage system at 72MW
ahead of Germany utility LEAG’s 66MW Big Battery Lausitz and Netherlands-based utility Enecon’s BESS Jardelund at 48MW
The two systems will be virtually coupled with RWE’s existing run-of-river hydroelectric facilities along the Moselle River
The company said that by doing this and selectively regulating the plants’ flow rate it can increase the total capacity of power available for grid stabilisation by 15%
Tests have been successfully carried out on this software and regular application of the coupling programme is scheduled to begin in spring
RWE said it invested €50 million (US$54 million) into the two battery storage projects
This is significantly lower than the rough benchmark figure for lithium-ion battery systems of US$1 million per MW of power that Energy-Storage.news has observed in other projects
Energy-Storage.news has asked the company to comment on the figure and will update this article when a response is received
said: “With the increasing expansion of renewable energies
The completed battery storage facilities and our hydroelectric power plants on the Moselle will work hand in hand in the future to help stabilise the electricity grid.”
Is is the latest in a flurry of battery storage projects that RWE has brought online or announced in the last few months
The same month, it announced its biggest battery projects yet – two systems totalling 220MW, also in the western state
which will be coupled with existing generation plants similarly to the Werne and Lingen units
Energy-Storage.news’ publisher Solar Media will host the eighth annual Energy Storage Summit EU in London, 22-23 February 2023. This year it is moving to a larger venue, bringing together Europe’s leading investors, policymakers, developers, utilities, energy buyers and service providers all in one place.

Congratulations to David Nail and his wife
the couple welcomed their children early on Saturday morning (Dec
followed by daughter Lillian Catherine Nail at 7:45AM CT
Mom and babies are "doing great."
"No words can describe the feeling," Nail and Werne say
We are crazy in love with them both."
a second grade teacher at a Nashville-area public school
Lawson and Lillian are their first children
and while Werne is used to being around kids
both she and Nail say that having two of their own will be an adjustment
“... Having two right off the bat is gonna be an experiment,” Nail notes
the good Lord blesses us with ability to care for them.”
Nail and Werne told The Boot in early November that they were prepared for the twins' arrival but that they wouldn't be picking out names until they were born
“We haven’t really settled on names …,” the new mom said at the time
“It’s hard with two.”
“We kind of want to look at them and make sure they look like a Matt or a John.”

Catherine Werne: The couple is expecting twins
Nail revealed the good news to Taste of Country Nights host Sam Alex on the red carpet at the 2015 CMA Awards
"She's carrying around two of my children right now," Nail jokes
She's picking and choosing her moments to show everybody the belly."
Werne is a second grade teacher at a public school in Nashville; however
having two newborns of her own will be a different experience
"That's the unfortunate thing: You can't just start out with kids in second grade
potty trained and everything," Nail says
Still the country singer says that he thinks they're ready -- or
"They'll be our first children
so having two right off the bat is gonna be an experiment," he notes
the good Lord blesses us with ability to care for them."
Nail and Werne got married in 2009. Despite his career successes, Nail has dealt with depression for his entire life
but he says that his wife has been his biggest supporter
“She’s just been there,” he says
“And there have been so many moments where I wouldn’t have blamed her for leaving
I think she always believed there was a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel ..
through sickness and health — ‘I’m in this committed … ’til death do us part.'”

We know that David Nail's latest single, 'Let it Rain,' was inspired by the final scene of the film, 'The Last Kiss,' and that it's completely fictitious
"'Let it Rain' was a song that was written right when we first started dating," David tells The Boot
"She was more leery of her friends and family's reaction of 'what's he doing
that might have played well with David's vision for the video
"I really wanted to do something that would give a little shock factor," he admits
"We wanted to do something that automatically got people's attention
there are probably several different views that people go to
and I wanted it to not to be the obvious story line."
While Catherine wasn't going to be in the clip
David didn't plan on appearing either
I was not planning on being in the video in any way
"Then the director Stephen Shepherd came to me and said
you gotta power up and do it yourself.'"
"I went home that night and laid out the parameters to my wife
and she sat there very quietly," he explains
'We're going to have some stipulations.' I had planned on not having any sort of interaction with the girl
Here's this guy who's so disgusted by what he did that he doesn't even want to look at her
It's that awkward three minutes where she's trying to gather her stuff and get out the door without making him feel any worse."
The moment that gives the video the most realness is arguably the shot of a ring and wallet on the nightstand
"That was actually my ring and my wallet," David laughs
"I credit Stephen for being a great director and seeing my vision
There's only one way to really tell a story like that and that's to tell it in the most brutal way
David will be in Nashville next week for CMA Music Festival. He'll play in the City of Hope Softball Game June 11, followed by a performance on the downtown Riverstage. Get details here

The Pleasant View Planning Commission approved a site plan on Tuesday for Development Management Group LLC of Nashville to build a McDonald's restaurant at the corner of Highways 49 and 41-A and Church Street
The plan was approved by a vote of 4-1 with vice chair Dan Small
Danny Rediker and Jordan Tupper voting with yes
Absent from the meeting were chair Kenny Elrod and Lorraine Ridgley
Development Management Group plans to build a 4,400-square-feet restaurant on 1.2 acres
An overhead projection of the plan was referenced as Ken Knuckles
vice president of Development Management Group
noting issues that had been addressed such as traffic flow
Planning commission member Werne expressed concerns about the location of the dumpster
Werne noted that dumpsters were to be in the rear of business establishments
but Knuckles pointed out that the dumpster was moved so it would not present problems with visibility when entering or exiting
City planner Bob Hoge stated with the location of the fast-food restaurant at the intersection of three busy streets
and its three station drive-through as well as foot traffic
it was difficult to identify a real backside to the property
Werne also brought up the issue of peak hours of traffic from Pleasant View Elementary School
where traffic could easily get backed up past the entrance to the proposed McDonald's
expressing concerns of how customers could safely and quickly exit after visiting the store
Knuckles said there had been discussions with the Tennessee Department of Transportation about access easements with neighboring properties and that those had been worked out
Hoge suggested that Development Management Group consider an alternate site plan
Small suggested that the company revisit the dumpsters issue and look into possible signage to help direct patrons back to Interstate 24
they could have a hard time figuring out how to get back to the interstate," Small said
West then suggested the city could look into signage to help get patrons back to I-24
Finanzinstitute stehen dieses Jahr vor einem bedeutenden Wandel in der Bewertung von Kreditrisiken
Juni: Stichtag für neue Standards in der Kreditrisikobewertung
Jochen Werne (CEO Experian DACH) ist überzeugt
dass die Datenqualität im Kreditrisikomarkt zum Königsmacher avancieren wird
Juni 2024 müssen große Banken ihre Systeme und Infrastrukturen gemäß den EBA Loan Origination and Monitoring Guidelines (EBA-GL LOM) für ein effektives Kreditrisikomanagement und -überwachung angepasst haben.”
Dies beinhaltet auch das Schließen von Datenlücken
national überwachten Finanzinstitute müssen sich diesen neuen Richtlinien jetzt stellen
die sich unter anderem an den EBA-Richtlinien orientiert haben
Finanzorganisationen müssen 2024 ihre bestehenden Praktiken überprüfen und ihre Standards in der Kreditrisikobewertung entsprechend anpassen
Kreditbewertungsmodelle müssen künftig Transparenz
Der Gamechanger dafür ist die Steigerung ihrer Datenqualität
Das alles führt zu fünf wichtigen Veränderungen:
Angesichts der schwachen wirtschaftlichen Dynamik
des Anstiegs ausfallgefährdeter Kredite und sinkender Zinsmargen müssen Finanzinstitute neue Wachstumsstrategien entwickeln
Investitionen in Technologien wie generative KI und ein vorausschauendes Risikomanagement gewinnen dabei an Bedeutung.”
Fortschrittliche Datenanalytik unterstützt Organisationen in verschiedenen Phasen ihres Kundenlebenszyklus
Bereits in der Antragsphase ermöglicht eine hohe Datenqualität eine effizientere Beurteilung der Kreditwürdigkeit
Im Portfolio-Management hilft fortgeschrittene Datenanalyse
Risiken proaktiv zu steuern und das Kreditportfolio dynamisch zu verwalten
Bis hin zu einer datenbasierten frühzeitigen Risikoerkennung sowie einem optimierten Mahnungs- und Inkassoprozess tragen fortgeschrittene Analytik und hohe Datenqualität dazu bei
die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber Risiken zu stärken
In den nächsten 12 Monaten wird die Stärkung der Geschäftsresilienz durch Automatisierung und Digitalisierung entscheidend sein
Cyberbedrohungen und geopolitische Spannungen zu reagieren.”
Diese Herausforderungen betreffen nicht nur die Zielkundenlandschaft
sondern sind auch im Kontext neuer ESG-Anforderungen von großer Bedeutung
Aufgrund ihrer Komplexität und ihres innovativen Charakters können herkömmliche
auf historischen Daten basierende Ansätze diese Risiken nicht bewältigen: Klassische Ansätze der Datenanalyse und Modell-Erhaltung haben zunehmend mit langsamen aufsichtlichen Prozessen auf der einen Seite sowie einem dynamischeren makroökonomischen Umfeld und wachsenden Cyber-Risiken auf der anderen Seite zu tun
Um diese Wettbewerbssituation zu bewältigen
sind zwingend neue Strategien in der Nutzung aller relevanten Daten erforderlich
die fortschrittliche Analytik und die Verbesserung der Datenqualität in den Mittelpunkt stellen
Seit Ende 2023 will die EU-Kommission mit neuen Regelungen wie PSD3 (dritte Zahlungsdiensterichtlinie)
PSR (Verordnungen über Zahlungsdienste) und FIDA (Zugang und Nutzung von Finanzdaten) die „Consent Driven Economy“ weiter vorantreiben und Verbrauchern mehr Möglichkeiten zur Nutzung der über sie vorhandenen Daten zu geben.”
Als einer der Player mit dem größten Datenschatz stellt dies Banken vor ein hohes Risiko gegenüber neuen Wettbewerbern
Gleichzeitig bietet sich ihnen dadurch aber auch eine Chance zum vertrauensvollen Partner von Konsumenten zu werden
die auf die Förderung von Open-Banking-Diensten sowie auf eine stärkere Kontrolle des Datenzugriffs und auf Maßnahmen gegen Online-Betrug fokussieren
stellen für Finanzinstitute einen Ansatzpunkt dar
um über die weitere Verwendung von Transaktionsdaten nachzudenken
Über die Betrugsbekämpfung hinaus eröffnet die fortschrittliche Analytik von Transaktionsdaten
selbst unter Berücksichtigung aller Compliance-Anforderungen
etwa zusätzliche Interaktionsmöglichkeiten mit Endkunden
oder auch die Chance auf die Monetarisierung von Daten
Der EU AI Act wird den Einsatz von KI in der Finanzbranche erheblich beeinflussen und die Technologieausrichtung des Finanzsektors weiter verstärken.”
Durch den Einsatz dieser Technologien lassen sich Kredit- und Betrugsrisiken auch in unsicheren Wirtschaftszeiten präziser und effizienter bewerten
positionieren sich als Vorreiter in einem sich rasch entwickelnden
technologiegetriebenen Finanzsektor: So geben auch 78 Prozent der in der Studie befragten Unternehmen in Deutschland an
den Einsatz weiterer Anwendungen von KI und ML zu priorisieren
Die Cloud-Integration bleibt eine wesentliche
aber unvollendete Transformationsherausforderung in der Finanzwelt
Die fortlaufende Implementierung von Continuous Development und Continuous Improvement insbesondere in den Bereichen Business
Analytics und IT wird zunehmend wichtiger.”
