Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for managing and forecasting energy usage. A distributed forecast device is located remote from a central server. The distributed forecast device receives from the central server information related to one or more accounts associated with the distributed forecast device. The distributed forecast device receives energy usage data from one or more energy meters for each of the accounts. The distributed forecast device predicts an energy usage forecast for each of the accounts based on the energy usage data and the information from the central server.

Abstract: Containers are especially adapted for the reconstitution and dispensation of concentrated or powdered products. The containers preferably include a sealed flexible pouch body defining an interior space; removable primary and secondary seal regions which seal primary and secondary openings into the interior space of the pouch body, and a resealable closure member provided adjacent the primary seal region for reseating the primary opening upon removal of the primary seal region. A strip thermometer may be physically attached to the pouch body so as to provide visual temperature indication of the reconstituted liquid product within the container. The containers may be prepackaged with a desired amount of concentrated or powdered product for later reconstitution. In use, the primary seal region may be physically removed and the resealable closure member opened so to expose the primary opening to the interior space of the container.
