More warming is expected in coming years and decades as a result of Earth’s large energy imbalance, more energy coming in than going out, and with the help of even a mild El Niño 2015 may be significantly warmer than 2014.
“During a positive PDO phase, you’d expect temperatures to keep climbing again as they did in the 1980s and 1990s,” Dr (Shayne) McGregor (of UNSW) said, adding that as PDOs are measured by rolling 11-year averages, it will be a while before any shift becomes clear.
In New Zealand, NIWA reports that the nationwide average temperature for 2014 was 12.8°C, 0.2°C above the 1981–2010 annual average, but that June was tied for warmest in the long term record. The MetService blog provides a good overview of regional weather here.
For further analysis and discussion, there is a lot of good coverage and supporting information available on the web. Here’s my pick of some of the best.
News coverage: New York Times (above the fold on the front page, no less), BBC, Guardian, Stuff (taking the AP coverage). Time makes the obvious point: warming continues unabated, which should give the lie to climate crank nonsense about no recent warming1.
NOAA’s overview of last year puts 2011 in eleventh place in their long term series, and confirms that the USA experienced a record 14 extreme weather events that caused more than $1 billion in damage — up two from their previous estimate.
‘Tis the silly season, time for journalists with little real news to report to reflect on the year past and make predictions for the year to come. I don’t normally play that game because there are too many interesting things to write about on the climate beat, but this year I’m going to make an exception. Glenn “Climate Show” Williams persuaded me to have a chat with him on his summer Radio Live show — and yes, we did cover the last year, and the prospects for 2012. The audio’s available to stream for the next week from the Radio Live site (select Dec 28th, then the 1-15pm segment — my bit starts after about 5 minutes). You may regard this post as an expanded version of my comments there (and a bit of recap on the last Climate Show of the year).


text: In our 10:30 service, we typically sing the Gloria ("Glory to God in the high-est...") at the beginning of worship, just after the opening sentences. During the Great 50 Days of Easter, however, we are instead singing the Easter Canticle, the Pascha nostrum (which means Our Passover) in place of the Gloria. We are singing a metrical version of the Pascha nostrum by the Rev. Carl Daw, which sets it to the familiar tune "Sine nomine," which you know as the same tune as "For all the saints." Daw's Paschua nostrum first came out as an anthem in the 80's, and I was overjoyed that it became available for congregational use by being included in the popular, authorized supplement to the hymnal, "Wonder, Love, and Praise" from which the choir often sings.

Amanda Cates, Christ Church, How to Start a Tween Ministry, Tween Ministry, What is a Tween?
What Is A “Tween” and Why Should They Matter To Your Church?
It’s a Sunday morning and I couldn’t wait to get to work! I knew that all my elementary kids were going to love the Large Group set we designed for the month, and that we had finally found worship music that would engage our older elementary kids as well as our younger ones. So there it was; time to see their reactions to the set! I was excited, but they didn’t really react as I had thought. My 1st-3rd graders seemed to like the set, but just as every other week, it seemed as though many of them were holding back for some reason. My 4th and 5th graders again seemed like my set was about as cool and engaging as if I was showing them a toddler TV show. I can remember thinking, “Ugh, what is it going to take to get through to this group?”. We still had worship to go, and I knew it was going to be awesome! It wasn’t.
My 4th and 5th graders continued to be the wall flowers they had been every other week for as far back as I could remember. My younger kids wanted to be involved with the worship and dance moves, but something was holding most of them back. What was it going to take for me to solve this problem in my ministry? It was taking a toll on my volunteers. It was taking a toll on me. We would watch kids feel “too cool” to be involved and others want to be involved, but then they would hold back. Why was this happening? Why wouldn’t the kids just let go and enjoy our worship time? Then it hit me. The kids weren’t the problem! My approach was.
My first step was to figure out why this age group was different from other age groups. My daughter was in this age range. I knew clothing stores and TV shows targeted this group called Tweens. Why? What makes them so unique? Let’s start by defining “Tween”. A Tween is commonly defined as a child between the ages of 9 to 12 years old; or 4th-6th grades. We certainly did not have this term when I was that age. Next, I had to learn what’s changed between my childhood and now that would make this group a target audience.
In the early 20th century the word adolescence was invented to describe the years between childhood and adulthood. This was considered ages of 14 -16 years. Prior to that, girls were considered adults around the age of 14-15 years and boys at 15-16 years old. In the 1950’s we began to see the emergence of a thriving youth culture all their own. Teens continued participating in this youth culture up to the age of 18 years. Society responded by extending the upper limit of adolescence to 18 years. Jump forward 20 years to the 1970’s. It’s noted that the onset of puberty is starting at the age of 13. Society responds again by now extending the lower boundary of adolescence to 13 years old. In the 2000’s we start seeing our not quite teenagers trying to participate in the youth culture of our teenagers. They aren’t teens, but they aren’t willing to be considered little kids any more either. They are in between. They are Tweens!
Why should we, the church, minister separately to the Tween group? Let’s look at the differences in learning stages between a 1st grader and 5th grader. A child in 1st grade is moving from a world of play based learning into a learning environment of routines with plenty of room for exploration still. A prepubescent 5th grader is working on complex projects and tasks that force them to utilize all the skills they have thus far learned. They are most likely switching teachers for one or more subjects per day, and are spending much of their time learning and understanding complex social rules and interacting with peers. They also have the ability to think logically. With such differences between the learning stages of these two examples, how can we possibly teach them the same thing at the same time? We can’t. Disney and Nickelodeon are capitalizing off of understanding this. Tween’s have TV shows created specifically for them. They are filled with all knowing tweens and young teens, idiotic acting adults and parental figures, witches, wizards, and materialism. This isn’t the message that we, the church, want our future based on. By creating a separate ministry for tweens we can put Godly influences into their world. If you are a Children’s or Youth Minister you have either read or heard of Thom Rainer’s and George Barna’s research regarding youth and children’s ministry. It’s clear that kids are leaving the church as young as 5th grade. If the church doesn’t reach kids by the time they are 13 years old the statistics of them being reached at all drop drastically. The tween years are the last frontier of reaching kids for Jesus!
How does one go about starting a ministry for tweens?
Start by meeting them where they are.
Separate Them. Give them a space of their own. We all have limited abilities for this, but even using a multipurpose room that is separate from your younger elementary kids will work great.
Use videos! Try not to use animation, but if you must, be picky. Ask yourself, would a 13 year old like this? If not, don’t use it for tweens.
Use music! Have high energy worship music. Play genres they listen to; rap, rock, pop it’s all available in Christian music. Use fun games to energize your Large Group time. Try Stuff You Can Use and Fun Ninja as resources for ideas.
Build a Youth Group. This can be accomplished by planning events such as lock-ins, camps, movie and game nights, etc. You can add a Youth Group night to your schedule. It doubles the time your Small Group Leaders get with these kids. It’s a win/win!
Assimilate them. Connect tweens to the adult church. If we have research that shows kids are leaving the church around this age, we need to provide them a place they WANT to be. Show them that their church needs them and that they have a place in the church besides a class room. Allow them to greet, usher, hand out bulletins, occasionally lead prayer or read scripture during services. Some of this may take coordinating with others leaders on your staff, but in the end it’s worth it.
As a Mom, I saw my own children’s world shift at the 4th Grade ages. I talked to other parents and found out we weren’t alone. The media, music industry, and commercials all spend millions of dollars targeting this age group. They have figured out that these kids are an influential part of society. As the church, we need to realize the same. After all, we are influencing them for the Kingdom of God. As a KidMin Leader, I have been able to create a place for tweens where Small Group Leaders understand that they think mainly in the abstract for the first time in their lives. We focus every week on how Biblical principles apply to the pressures they face in today’s society. They are slowly integrated into the Youth Group atmosphere through intentionally mimicking our own Youth Group. Most importantly of all, they have the opportunity to see how they fit into the larger church. We have an obligation to the kids God has called us to minister to. That obligation is to connect them with Him. By making a few changes in your ministry you can impact them for the Kingdom and keep them in church.

I went to Kidd Valley for lunch the other day, and there was this couple with a small child. I mentioned that I liked that they were very matchy match. They apparently didn't notice that the three of them were all wearing bright orange. I asked the little boy what he had been doing with his grandparents and the grandpa said that they played some whiffle ball.
Me: Did you have fun?
Boy: Well, I didn't break any windows.
My friend has been very into getting fit over the past year. He posted an invitation to join his beach body challenge on Facebook. I saw the invite, but to be honest, kind of ignored it. But then, I got a message from him saying, "Really!? I’m so glad you're doing this!" I told Becky how I didn't have the heart to tell him that I accidentally signed up for the challenge. Rather than correcting him, I decided to do it and wouldn't she like to join us? After she stopped laughing at me, she went home and started to panic because she has a phobia of diets. Luckily, Jared walked her through it calmly and now-- we're starting the beach body challenge in a couple of weeks!
Seeing as I still have a couple of weeks, and it has been crazy hot, when Dawne asked me what I wanted for dinner on Tuesday, I said Fro Yo. Derrick and Zach mocked my usage of the term "Fro Yo" but they also decided it was a good idea to join us, so. There.
All of the puppies got Giardia last week. Two weeks ago, a sewage pipe broke in our yard, and before we even knew about it, the dogs were all up in it. You know, because dogs are gross. As we took them inside to get baths Dawne said, "Now, they are going to get Giardia." 4 days later, Casper showed signs so she brought him to be tested, actually before he was positive. And then on Monday, when Percy showed the first sign, we brought all three to the doctor where they all got IV's for dehydration and lots of medicine.
Me: Percy seems pretty happy for such a sick dog.
Dawne: That’s because he has a mom that when she sees him have diarrhea once, rushes him to the vet.
Me: Oh yeah. He does have one of those.
Dawne's dogs also come right up to her and practically open their mouth to get medicine. Meanwhile, Percy, is suspicious of all treats, assuming that they all contain something peculiar. When trying to get the eye dropper in his mouth, he burrows his head so you can get to his mouth. Dawne said it was because her dogs know the medicine will make them feel better, I think they just love her more.
On Saturday, I am sure we did something awesome, but I can't remember ANYTHING. Oh wait, that's not true. We were going somewhere and Lucas, in 90 degree weather, comes downstairs in sneakers and socks that nearly came up to his knees.
Lucas: Why are you laughing at me?
Dawne: I'm not laughing at you. You're doing something funny, on purpose, I'm laughing with you.
Lucas: This was not to make you laugh, this was because they were the only socks that were a pair.
Dawne: Come on. You did purposely to make me laugh.
Dawne: I'm allowed to go to Luke's shows as long as I don't yell, "I'm Lucas' mom!"
Lucas: And yet, it happens every time.
On Sunday, I got up early so that Percy and I could go to the Seattle Pride Parade and walk with the Warthog and 343. My co-worker had a Great Dane, and the contrast between the two was amazing. Another co-worker made Percy famous by tweeting about him. He got bored waiting for the parade to start so he fell asleep - but once we got going he was so happy and proud walking along as if the crowd was totally cheering for him, and him alone. At one point, a drag queen saw the Warthog and yelled, "I want to play with your toy!" and stopped the parade so she could jump onto the Warthog. Classic.
We finished up the day with some pool time and a BBQ at Diana and Jason's. We played some corn hole, and I managed to get one of the bean bags onto the roof. Whoops! I hope you all had an awesome week... and that you have a beautiful fourth!
You're the idiot who sent me.

Arjun Rampal has been the talk of the town. As celebrity couples have moved on from their past relationships, Arjun too seems to have moved on in his life. After calling it quits with wife Meher Rampal, rumours are rife that the actor has been dating South African model turned designer Gabriella Demetriades.
They were first spotted together in August. Arjun Rampal recently lost his mom to cancer. Gabriella Demetriades was by side his side during this tragic time. Since then, the two of them have been constantly seen together. On Sunday, November 11, the two of them attended the M Power Fest which was their first red carpet together. Later, the two of them headed out for a dinner date at a suburban restaurant in Mumbai. As the two of them caught paparazzi’s attention as Arjun and Gabriella walked hand in hand before the shutterbugs clicked them together.
For their date night, Arjun Rampal opted for a simple look – a black tracksuit with white sneakers. The model turned designer looked beautiful in olive green trousers with white tank top, jacket and tan boots. They did not shy away from the paparazzi and smiled for the cameras.
In the month of May 2018, Arjun Rampal announced his split from Mehr Jessia in a joint statement. “After a 20-year-long beautiful journey filled with love and beautiful memories, we would like to share, that all journeys have different paths. We feel that it is time for us to move on to different destinations henceforth. We have always been solid when it has come to us, we will continue to be solid for each other and our loved ones, as we embark upon a new journey. Both of us being extremely private people feel strange to be making this statement, but such are the circumstances of our lives. Where the truth can get distorted and lost. We are a family, our love for each other is forever intact and we shall always be there for one another and most importantly, for our children Mahikaa and Myra. We would, therefore, appreciate our privacy through this time. Thank all for their support. Relationships can end, but love lives on. We won’t be commenting on this any further,” their statement read.

A new bathroom renovation potentially costs anywhere from $9,600-11,000.
If that sounds out of your price range, you’re not alone! Thankfully, you can still have a luxury bathroom without spending thousands of dollars.
Here are a few tips to upscale your bathroom without gutting your bathroom (and budget!).
Ready to get started planning your luxury bathroom for less? Check out these five tips.
A new coat of paint on the wall or furniture can completely change the look and feel of any room, even the bathroom.
For a bathroom, try choosing a calming color such as white for a classic traditional look, gray, or a more neutral color. Paint your vanity if you cannot buy a new one or other furniture to match. Small changes like painting make a big difference with costing a ton.
If you don’t like paint, wallpaper can accomplish the same feel. Wallpaper on one wall can create a stunning focal point.
Most high-end bathrooms focus on producing a spa-like environment. Elements like spa showers, soaking tubs surrounded by candles add a certain ambiance.
This look can be achieved with a few small touches. For example, replacing a showerhead for a more high-end shower, adding plants or greenery, or adding a few pieces of art that complement your theme. Find spaces for all the clutter to encourage relaxation.
With a few bathroom supplies, your bathroom can feel like an oasis in no time.
Tiles can be added to nearly any surface, large or small, and make your bathroom pop.
Get creative with your tile! Choose a place where you think tile would stand out, possibly on one wall, on the floor, or shower. Tile is a bit more work than painting, but tile brings a more refined look to your bathroom.
You can take some artistic risks here! For example, instead of using a plain white grout, opt for a different color Or choose a variety of tiles to make the tile a one-of-a-kind display.
Tile is one of the more pricier options, so have a budget and space in mind before shopping, or save on labor and do the work on your own.
Knobs and drawer handle often get overlooked when people consider renovating. But these are one of the easiest and cost-effective options.
If your vanity has outdated hardware, consider upgrading it. Go with a bold chrome color (which is least expensive!) or a trendy brass. Or search vintage shops for something completely different.
Whatever you choose, make sure it fits with the overall theme of your bathroom. You’ll be surprised how these small pieces make a significant impact!
An old or outdated shower curtain can bring down the vibes of a bathroom. A simple trip to the store can remedy this problem without spending a lot of money. Keep in mind the look and feel you’re going for while shopping.
A fancy bathroom doesn’t have to cost a lot! Bringing in little changes goes a long way in developing a luxury bathroom at a fraction of the cost.

Seeking to stem negative publicity from a $5 million class-action lawsuit accusing them of watering down their most popular brews, Anheuser-Busch is striking back with an advertising campaign.
An ad showing the water the company gave to the American Red Cross for charity is a promoted tweet and has appeared in newspaper ads in the New York Times and Houston Chronicle.
'They must have tested one of these' the copy reads.
While it does not directly address accusations that they have watered down brands like Budweiser and Michelob, they do reference a CNN report and a NPR report that found the alcohol levels reported on the cans were accurate.
The suits, filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states, claim consumers have been cheated out of the alcohol content stated on labels. Budweiser and Michelob each boast of being 5 per cent alcohol, while some 'light' versions are said to be just over 4 per cent.
The lawsuits are based on information from former employees at the company's 13 U.S. breweries, some in high-level plant positions, according to lead lawyer Josh Boxer of San Rafael, California.
The lead lawsuit, which the company dismissed as groundless, says the alcohol content is mislabeled on the brands Budweiser, Michelob, Michelob Ultra, Hurricane High Gravity Lager, King Cobra, Busch Ice, Natural Ice, Bud Ice, Bud Light Platinum and Bud Light Lime.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs say their lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco on Friday, could affect tens of millions of consumers of products from Anheuser-Busch, the world's largest brewer.
Josh Boxer, an attorney behind the legal challenge, acknowledged his San Rafael, California-based Mills Law Firm is not basing its claims on independent testing of Anheuser-Busch products taken from store shelves.
Aside from the lead lawsuit in California, companion suits were being filed this in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other states, Boxer said.

He's been trading in soft focus kosmische synths on top of languid post punk rhythms for a minute now, but i think here he has reached his full power.

text: Since when does Congress consider banning lawful behavior between consenting adults? I’m talking about H.R. 8, which would criminalize the private sales of firearms that don’t get prior government permission. Of course, the bill is not limited to that, as it criminalizes the “transfer” of a firearm without a Brady check. The term “transfer” is nowhere defined, but it’s clear from the bill that handing a gun to a neighbor for as little as one second is a “transfer” unless the person is covered by one of the bill’s so-called exceptions. So if someone wants to show off their new gun to a neighbor in their living room, and the gun is handed to the neighbor to look at, then the homeowner is a criminal, and can go to prison for up to a year under federal level. By the way, Gun Owners of America has demonstrated that the “exceptions” in the bill are merely trap doors that could, if enforced to the letter, put millions of gun owners in prison. See: gunowners.org/factsheethr8 Please support the Second Amendment and oppose H.R. 8.

The term “points” is used to describe certain charges paid, or treated as paid, by a borrower to obtain a home mortgage. Points may also be called loan origination fees, maximum loan charges, loan discount, or discount points.
Example: In 1999, Bill Fields got a mortgage to buy a home. The interest rate on that mortgage loan was 11 percent. In 2008, Bill refinanced that mortgage with a 15-year $100,000 mortgage loan that has an interest rate of 7 percent. The mortgage is secured by his home. To get the new loan, he had to pay three points ($3,000). Two points ($2,000) were for prepaid interest, and one point ($1,000) was charged for services, in place of amounts that ordinarily are stated separately on the settlement statement. Bill paid the points out of his private funds, rather than out of the proceeds of the new loan. The payment of points is an established practice in the area and the points charged are not more than the amount generally charged there. Bill’s first payment on the new loan was due July 1. He made six payments on the loan in 2008 and is a cash basis taxpayer.
Bill used the funds from the new mortgage to repay his existing mortgage. Although the new mortgage loan was for Bill’s continued ownership of his main home, it was not for the purchase or improvement of that home. For that reason, Bill does not meet all the tests, and he cannot deduct all of the points in 2008. He can deduct two points ($2,000) ratable over the life of the loan. He deducts $67 [($2,000 ÷ 180 months) x 6 payments] of the points in 2008. The other point ($1,000) was a fee for services and is not deductible.
Bill also deducts the ratable part of the remaining $1,500 ($2,000 – $500) prepaid interest that must be spread over the life of the loan. This is $50 [($1,500 ÷ 180 months) x 6 payments] in 2008. The total amount Bill deducts in 2008 is $550 ($500 + $50).

America’s new vehicle market continued to contract at a slow rate in 2007; the light truck market at an even slower 2% pace. But there was a certain class of vehicle making hay.
Buyers who wanted high-riding SUVs but didn’t want to pay for the truck-based vehicles themselves or the fuel that they’d require turned increasingly to car-based small crossovers. It’s a trend we’re very familiar with in 2014. But in 2007, the trio of utility vehicle leaders were, while certainly known entities, not traditional best sellers.
In 2006, the Honda CR-V ranked third, with sales having risen 13%, year-over-year. The Ford Escape was down 5% to 157,395 units, fifth on the list of America’s ten best-selling SUVs. Toyota RAV4 sales more than doubled, and it was America’s seventh-ranked utility vehicle.
The CR-V was the best-selling utility vehicle in America in 2007, the RAV4 was America’s second-best-selling utility vehicle, and the Escape ranked third. 2006’s first and second-best-selling SUVs, the Ford Explorer and Chevrolet TrailBlazer, fell to the fifth and sixth spots in 2007. Car-like SUVs like the Ford Edge and Toyota Highlander fell into place as the seventh and eighth best sellers.

Easy to do and perfect for using the left overs of yarn.
To get started, chain 5 (ch 5), and join to form a ring.
Chain 3 (ch 3)—this one counts as your first dc. Make 2 more dcs over ring. This is your first 3 dc shell.
*Ch 2, and make 3 dc over ring. Repeat from* 2 more times, ch 2 and join yarn to the 3rd ch of the round. First row of square is made!
Join the second color of yarn in one of the ch-2 spaces (these are all corners, at this point). Ch 3 to count as your first dc. In the same ch-2 space: 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc. You’ve just made a corner.
Next, ch1, and skip the shell.
*In the next corner, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc). Ch 1, skip the previous round’s shell. Repeat from * twice and join to the third stitch of the round.
With each round, you’ll be adding an extra shell on each side, and by adding your square grows bigger and bigger.
To finish a cushion, make 9 squares, finish all the squares with the same color, I used white. Sew the squares together with a thread of the same yarn when finished and sew the grannys on a piece of fabric.

“The thing I would say is, the financial services industry is not dead. Full stop.” That’s a view shared by INSEAD Dean Frank Brown and his counterpart at The Wharton School, Tom Robertson.
The two deans spoke to INSEAD Knowledge at Founders’ Day – INSEAD’s 50th anniversary celebration in Fontainebleau on September 12 – about the INSEAD-Wharton partnership and how their schools’ MBA programmes have been altered to suit the changing financial industries landscape.
“We have had some terrific debates at INSEAD,” adds Brown. “I’ve been fortunate enough to be moderator for at least one of these. We get a large group of students together in an amphitheatre with several teachers from different specialties. It’s all about dialogue, multi-discipline. The other thing we’re seeing at INSEAD is faculty members from different fields getting together and taking a look at ‘What does this mean for me? What does this mean for us?’ It’s a fabulous opportunity for research - (such as Banking and Finance Professor) Jean Dermine’s significant research on the banking sector,” he adds, referring to Dermine’s book ‘Bank Valuation and Value-Based Management,’ which has just been published.
Technology has facilitated the two schools’ being able to enhance their alliance which was created in March 2001. “There’s a sharing of technology for the classrooms,” says Brown. “The ‘Prices & Markets’ course that was shared between the Wharton faculty members and the INSEAD faculty members is a good example,” he adds, describing a course taught by both schools using each other’s faculty. Technology – being able to visit websites or, in the case of INSEAD, to tour the school’s virtual campus in ‘Second Life’ also enhances the real-life exchange student experience. And it doesn’t stop there.
And so how are the two leading business schools finding their own business models in these turbulent economic times, cooperation and competition notwithstanding? What’s it like running a business school in 2009? And where does the money come from?
There is also some competition between the schools for women students.
The crisis has changed the funding, the course structures, and even the student body make-up of INSEAD and Wharton. What then does the future look like?

Most people are shocked when they are slapped with a citation for a moving violation. Naturally we go about our daily routines without a care in the world for tickets – however, one moment of inattention can result in a ticket totaling hundreds of dollars – especially if the infraction is for something significant such as passing a school bus when it’s lights are flashing. When something like that happens, it is always jarring as the fine is high and points are added to your license. What can you do if the fine is high and you cannot afford to pay for your traffic ticket.
Well, although the court will never let you off the hook for a traffic citation, you can always plead your case with the judge. After all, judges are human and they will understand your hardship case if properly presented. What generally happens in such circumstances is that you pay what you can up front and then ask for a continuance so that you have additional time in which to collect the money needed to pay the remainder of the fine. However, be warned that such stays are never more than sixty additional days.
Sometimes the court will even set up a payment plan whereby you can pay off your ticket. However, the monthly payment plan is very rare and only works in very exceptional circumstances. Your best option is to plead your case with the court and to ask for a continuance and then put yourself on a weekly payment plan until you have collected the funds needed to cover your fine. The other alternative is to ask your family for a loan or try to get a loan from mypaydayloan.com in order to cover your fine and then pay it back.Receiving a traffic violation can really throw a wrench into your budget especially if you are on a very tight one. While there is no real way of getting out of paying your fine, a payday loan is really your best option.

Verizon wanted to roll out a new app later to be known as the My Verizon App. They wanted this app to empower their 113 million users to take control of their wireless experiences and thus reducing calls to customer care. In order to accomplish these goals, AKQA was tasked with creating an entirely new app which included features such as a personalized feed, data management, simplified billing, meaningful rewards, easy upgrades, a personalized shopping experience, and faster in-app live support. The AKQA team was divided up into 5 squads each consisting of a Project Manager, UX Designer, Visual Product Designer, Copywriter, and Data Analyst. My role as Visual Product Designer was to ideate and create wireframes, work with other designers to create an overall design system, take wireframes through to full designs, and define interactions.
Design began in December 2015 and continued through launch on July 8, 2016. Over the course of 7 months, the 5 squads, working closely with an internal Verizon team, worked on different feature sets to deliver an MVP version of the app. During the beginning half of the project, I was assigned to the Get and Set Up feature set and later transitioned to Shop. On the Get and Set Up squad I worked on creating the entire account section of the app which included completing tasks like upgrading your plan. On the Shop squad, I iterated on the checkout flow and optimized the personalized shopping experience. Once a week the full AKQA team would go to Verizon's offices where each squad would present a fully-annotated presentation of work to an audience of over 150 people. This allowed there to be full transparency with what we were creating and let all concerns and feedback be heard.
At sprint kick-offs, each squad would meet with their Verizon counterparts to go through requirements and identify priorities. UX Designers would then write user stories and acceptance criteria, clarify the permissions associated with a feature and participate in story point estimations. From there UX and Visual would come together to research, ideate and create user flows and wireframes based off of rough sketches. After reviewing wireframes with the Creative Director and UX Directors, Visual would take wireframes and apply design system and UI elements. After that had been completed, I would work with a motion designer to create prototypes in After Effects that I would then annotate. These motion prototypes helped inform iOS and Android Engineers of how we envisioned movement within the app.
I was responsible for creating fully functioning InVision prototypes for each flow that would be user tested using a third party, in partnership with AKQA and Verizon. Each user testing session was conducted in Chicago and live-streamed. This allowed the AKQA teams to watch participants interact with our designs and hear what they had to say first hand. Full readouts of reports were given at our weekly Verizon/AKQA meetings. Using user feedback reports we were able to iterate on and change our designs right after a sprint had ended, enabling us to work very quickly. Within 7 months of the app’s launch, Verizon’s mobile sales conversion rate rose 15.6x, and overall usage was up over 50%. The completion rate for a plan change increased to 49%, which converted users at a rate that is 75% higher than the previous app. The new app gives the network’s 113 million customers more control, with less work, all in the palm of their hand.

Demonstration teaching and state licensure.
Each of WGU’s online teacher licensure programs requires student teaching in an actual classroom—demonstration teaching experience, ensuring you’ll have the skills and know-how to handle a classroom of your own.
Graduate with little or no new student debt.
As a nonprofit organization, WGU provides a convenient, cost-effective path to teacher licensure and a bachelor’s or master’s degree in education. Tuition for all degree programs in the Teachers College is between $3,225 and $3,240 per six-month term—about half what you’d pay at other universities.
Low tuition is just the start! Tuition is charged at a flat rate each 6-month term, regardless of how many courses you complete during that term. The standard term is based upon a full course load—at least 12 competency units (credit equivalents) for undergraduate students and 8 competency units for post-baccalaureate and master’s students. Individual progress may vary. Because you can accelerate through material you already know well or learn quickly—finishing more courses in a term without paying extra—you could end up saving even more.
America needs more women in leadership. WGU offers a flexible, affordable, respected way to earn the bachelor’s or master’s degree that will get you closer to your place at the top.
And now, for a limited time, the $2,000 Women in Leadership Scholarship is one more way WGU is putting a high-quality college education within reach.
Many of WGU's Teachers College students are career changers. Teaching is a calling that's hard to ignore. Watch Wendy's story of moving from journalist to teacher.
Top marks for a top choice.
The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) in 2017 placed WGU’s Teachers College in the top 1% nationwide for the quality of its secondary teacher-preparation programs. NCTQ also recognized WGU as the nation’s #1 best value for teacher education in 2015.
Best practices for the classroom.
Every WGU teacher licensure program includes an in-classroom student teaching component. You can complete it at a school near you. It’s full-time, supervised, on-the-job experience that prepares you to lead your own classroom—effectively and with confidence.
Quality that really gets noticed.
WGU's Teachers College is among a select group of teacher-education programs—and the only competency-based college—to have received accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), the only recognized national accreditor for educator preparation.
An impressive class of graduates.
Graduates of the WGU Teachers College include recipients of the Gates Millennium Scholarship, Intel Grant for Mathematics and Technology, Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction Award, Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award, and Association of Public Charter Schools Educator of the Year Award.

OpenText has historically been mainly a direct player, but is looking to leverage its strong partnership and personal relationships with SAP, and its relationship with SAP partner Accenture to build up its channel business in Canada.
ORLANDO — It has been a good SAPPHIRE NOW for OpenText, the Waterloo ON- headquartered global enterprise information management giant. OpenText won the 2016 SAP Pinnacle Award for Application Innovation Partner of the Year – the ninth straight year the long-time SAP partner has won a Pinnacle. OpenText also announced the availability of OpenText solution extensions for the SAP S/4HANA business suite. Last, and not least, OpenText also indicated that it is leveraging its partnership with SAP, and core SAP partner Accenture, to build out its own channel further, strengthening a partner route to market that has not been a significant part of the company’s business in the past.
OpenText now provides a certified SAP content management portfolio designed to run smoothly on SAP S/4HANA, which is fully supported and sold by SAP. They have also extended the SAP HANA database support across the portfolio, and adopted SAP Fiori software to enhance user experience across their own product portfolio.
“Customers can have confidence that all the OpenText elements will work fully in the HANA environment,” Cybala said. These solution extensions include capabilities for decommissioning legacy applications, archiving data and documents, embedding digital content-enabled workflows into mobile UIs, and establishing a digital content strategy for the digital core, aligned with SAP HANA, SAP Fiori and SAP S/4HANA.
“We are already showing a vendor invoice management solution we co-developed with SAP for S/4 HANA on the show floor here at SAPPHIRE NOW,” Cybala stated.
Beyond the important contours of their partnership, OpenText is also looking to SAP to render important assistance in another way – the development of their own partner channel.
Mandala said the SAP relationship will be critical to this effort.
OpenText is also developing its relationship with global systems integrator Accenture, a key SAP partner.
“We are now working with Accenture in the hybrid digital management space, and we are making a commitment for all three organizations to work strongly together,” Mandala said.

Recently, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducted tests that show strong side underride guards on tractor trailers are effective for preventing underride crashes. Underride guards are steel bars attached below a trailer to prevent a smaller vehicle from going under the trailer during a crash.
The weekend leading up to July 4th saw record-breaking travel for Americans. According to AAA, more than 44 million of us traveled at least 50 miles from our homes—a nearly 3 percent jump in travelers from 2016. More than 37 million of those travelers hit the road.
A new driver monitoring service will soon be available to employers that do business in Texas. Here are some frequently asked questions about the specifics of the program and how to participate.
As we recently reported*, an updated iiX analysis confirms that motor vehicle report (MVR) fees have continued to rise over the past decade, during which time state registry fees reached a cumulative 50 percent increase nationwide.
An updated iiX analysis confirms that motor vehicle report (MVR) fees have continued to increase over the past decade, during which time state registry fees reached a cumulative 50 percent rise nationwide. Across the country, the average MVR fee stood at $9.64 as of January 1, 2017, compared with roughly $6.50 ten years ago.
It appears all systems are go for the Texas Driver Record Monitoring Service (DRMS) to launch in June, according to state sources.
As anticipated, it appears that the Texas Driver Monitoring Service (DRMS) is on track to launch by early 2017, according to what we are being told by the state. The program will enable both employers and insurers to monitor driving records of Texas-licensed employees and insured drivers for adverse activity, such as a driver’s license status change or a new moving violation.

Avian influenza or bird flu viruses are highly infectious micro-organisms that primarily affect birds. Nevertheless, they have also been isolated from a number of mammals, including humans.
Avian influenza virus can cause large economic losses to the poultry industry because of its high mortality. Although there are pathogenic variants with a low virulence and which generally cause only mild, if any, clinical symptoms, the subtypes H5 and H7 can mutate from a low to a highly virulent (pathogenic) virus and should be taken into consideration in eradication strategies.
The primary source of infection for commercial poultry is direct and indirect contact with wild birds, with waterfowl forming a natural reservoir of the virus. Live-poultry markets, exotic birds, and ostriches also play a significant role in the epidemiology of avian influenza.
The secondary transmission (i.e., between poultry farms) of avian influenza virus is attributed primarily to fomites and people.
Airborne transmission is also important, and the virus can be spread by aerosol in humans.
Diagnostic tests detect viral proteins and genes. Virus-specific antibodies can be traced by serological tests, with virus isolation and identification being complementary procedures.
The number of outbreaks of avian influenza seems to be increasing - over the last 5 years outbreaks have been reported in Italy, Hong Kong, Chile, the Netherlands, South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, China, Pakistan, United States of America, Canada, South Africa, Malaysia and Nepal.
Moreover, a growing number of human cases of avian influenza, in some cases fatal, have paralleled the outbreaks in commercial poultry. There is great concern about the possibility that a new virus subtype with pandemic potential could emerge from these outbreaks.
From the perspective of human health, it is essential to eradicate the virus from poultry; however, the large number of small-holdings with poultry, the lack of control experience and resources, and the international scale of transmission and infection make rapid control and long-term prevention of recurrence extremely difficult.
In the Western world, the renewed interest in free-range housing carries a threat for future outbreaks. The growing ethical objections to the large scale culling of birds require a different approach to the eradication of avian influenza.
Multiple outbreak of avian influenza in various part of Nepal causes huge losses of economy as the same time increasing the risk of disease transmission.
To prevent the birdflu in our context, there should be maintaining the biosecurity, development of contingency plan, logistic support for inspection, early conformation and declaration of disease.
Proper cooking of eggs and meat, washing of hand with soap after handling of bird are some common precaution against of disease.

Hi, I'm on my third trial box and no matter what I do I can't get the top to fit the bottom of the box. I did see your comment about the dots bordering the top and bottom of the sides but no matter how I fold it, it makes no difference. Any suggestions? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I'll give it a whirl. I'm determined to make this work. Thanks for the reply!

Days after the Centre approved a formula for determination of compensation, a group of patients affected by Johnson and Johnson's faulty hip implants on Thursday told the government that the method was unacceptable to them as it was done "without due consultations" with stakeholders and "unjustly" denies relief to many of them.
In a letter to Union Health Minister J P Nadda, the patients alleged that the formula devised by the ministry has "multiple gaps" and is "riddled with ambiguities".
The patients said it will be "necessary" to hear their views in order to arrive at a compensation formula which is "just and fair" to the affected.
The letter said that despite their repeated appeals that transparency in the proceedings of the committees entrusted to carry out the compensation and in the implementation of the mechanism is paramount, patients are being completely sidelined and reduced to mere spectators even in the government-led process.
"We respectfully submit that we cannot accept a formula that was devised through discussions exclusively with Johnson and Johnson, and without a consultative process with all the stakeholders, as has been incorrectly represented in the media.
"The formula therefore has multiple gaps that may have easily been avoided if the process of consultation with victims and civil society groups was done. The formula unjustly denies compensation to many patients," Vijay Vojhala, one of the 70 affected patients who have come together under the banner Hip Implant Patients Support Group , said in the letter.
The group claims that its members are patients from across India who have been implanted with faulty hip implants such as DePuy or Johnson and Johnson's ASR resurfacing and ASR XL implants. The group comprises patients, family members and some public health specialists advocating for regulatory reforms to improve patient safety.
The Health Ministry recently approved the formula for determination of compensation for patients who prior to August 2010, had received faulty articular surface replacement hip implants manufactured by the Johnson and Johnson.
According to the formula, those affected were eligible for compensation ranging from Rs 30 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore.
The government had constituted a central expert committee under the Chairmanship of Dr RK Arya, Director, Sports Injury Centre, to determine the quantum of compensation.
However, the patients asked if the formula account for the specificity of patients' circumstances like cases of multiple faulty implants and medical histories.
"Its poor formulation renders it incomplete and riddled with ambiguities. Any process relying on this formula will not be able to deliver just and fair compensation to patients and their families, defeating the purpose of the exercise," the letter said.
The affected patients had written to Nadda on October 15 and again on October 20 this year to express serious concerns regarding the lack of transparency and exclusion of patients in the compensation process but had received no response, the letter said.
"We would like to clarify that in spite of repeated requests, to date not a single consultation has taken place regarding the compensation process or the formula for determining the quantum of compensation with affected patients or civil society groups," the letter said.
They said after studying the proposed formula, numerous doubts and questions have arisen. In addition, the patients are able to identify various shortcomings in the formula as well as limitations in its applicability, they said.
Medical management, which is critically important to patients, is being ignored even though it is very much part of the recommendations put forth by the Expert Committee report and the terms of reference of the Central Expert Committee that is working on compensation, they said.
"We therefore request that looking at the seriousness of the issues involved, it will be necessary to hear our views in order to arrive at a compensation formula which is just and fair to patients. We will appreciate if advance notice is given to us to enable our group members to attend the meeting," the letter said.
