Apple's iPhone 4 has problems with dropped calls and slow data rates.

This is the first in a series of posts exploring the current state of the employee engagement and wellness industry.
It's an exciting time for the employee engagement and well-being industry. Gone are the days when companies viewed these programs as 'nice to do' or ones that yielded 'soft' benefits.
Research shows that companies with high engagement scores perform better in key operational areas like productivity, absenteeism, turnover, safety and quality incidents, shrinkage, customer metrics, and profitability, according to Gallup. That's not all. Research on employee engagement and productivity continues to show the basic health and well-being of employees indicates how engaged they'll be on the job.
Business leaders care about and are measured against these metrics, so it's no wonder they're launching initiatives to boost employee engagement and well-being. They get it. A healthy, engaged workforce is good for business.
But what are companies actually doing to create that type of workforce, you ask?
We were curious, too. That's why we recently teamed up with Human Capital Media, the research arm of Workforce magazine. Together, we surveyed 1,395 HR management professionals across a broad range of industries and organization sizes.
The goal? Gain a deep look at the state of the employee engagement and well-being industry, and discover how and why organizations are budgeting, implementing, measuring and improving employee engagement and wellness programs.
The result? A new report featuring rich data and insights about the state of the industry, and how organizations are using employee engagement and well-being programs to improve their employees' lives and boost their businesses.
Over the next few weeks we'll dig into the report's top findings here on The Uprising. Up first – a look at what's on executives' and HR managers' priority lists for 2015.
2015 Plans & Priorities
In the year ahead, companies say they'll continue to invest in employee engagement, talent recruiting and retention, and employee well-being. Most executives and HR managers agree on these priorities, yet differ slightly on what they view as most important.
Unsurprisingly, executives' priorities tend to align with overall organizational goals while managers' priorities tend to align with functional objectives. That's why executives' are more concerned with employee engagement as a whole vs. talent retention specifically.
Companies will also continue to look for ways to resolve industry-specific challenges in the coming year. For example, we asked respondents to share their top challenges for 2015. Seventy-two percent said they needed to find an executive sponsor for their wellness program. That number rose significantly for respondents in the food industry – nearly all said that this was their top challenge.
Here's a look at industry-specific priorities for 2015:
Finally, while most companies agree on top priorities for 2015, they also concur about what's not a priority. And moving to a private health exchange is the least of their concerns.
Nearly 80 percent of companies say they're not considering a switch to a private health exchange. What's more, close to 70 percent of all organizations, executives, and HR Managers agreed that considering such a switch was at the bottom of their 2015 priority lists.
It seems companies simply aren't convinced that such a switch would truly yield beneficial outcomes and long-term savings. This year, many employers will take a wait and see approach before considering a shift.
For more on what tops executives' and managers' priority lists for 2015, get a copy of the full report and its findings. Next week, we'll take a closer look at what's happening with budgets for employee engagement and well-being programs in 2015. Meantime, tell us what's top priority for you and your organization in 2015 when it comes to employee engagement and well-being. Post a comment or tweet us @virginpulse.

Cold, snowy winters may not necessarily make for ideal conditions outdoors, but that's no excuse to leave your health in the dust. Instead, bring your well-being focus inward – spend some quality time with family members, use tax season as an excuse to organize finances, or catch-up on a forgotten reading list.
To give you a head start on the latter, we've pulled together a list of top titles on health, well-being, employee engagement, and more.

Recently in Boston, we've found ourselves buried under a record amount of the wet, white stuff. Multiple blizzards have repeatedly shut most of the state down these past few weeks – which is saying a lot in Massachusetts, where many of us New England natives consider five inches of snow a mere "dusting." Moreover, seemingly endless "snow days" have been giving everyone the perfect excuse to forego the gym for a few days. (The hefty fine for driving during the government-mandated travel ban the other week may have helped there, too.)
Whether you live in the Northeast or not, dangerous winter weather can easily put a damper on your healthy habits. Even when there's no blizzard or travel ban, it's all too easy to find yourself pushing off a workout in favor of relaxing under a cozy blanket, and sipping hot cocoa. But after a while neglecting your workouts and indulging in comfort foods, combined with the cold conditions, will leave you feeling depleted at best.
Although it may not be swimsuit season anytime soon, maintaining healthy habits is key when it comes to battling the winter blues – not to mention employees' performance at work. In fact, mid-day exercise drives 23 percent more productivity, while unhealthy eating habits motivates a 66 percent increased loss of productivity.
Wondering how you can help employees keep their healthy habits in check as we make our way through the rest of winter? Keep reading for two ways you can get started with today.

Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- Page:1/1
- " We don't agree with the idea of a Roman numeral security lock on the door! Although we know the basics, the door wouldn't open. Very loud at night despite the windows being closed. We'd prefer that rooms were same sex. On the plus side the beds were reasonably comfortable. Stairs and landing are very untidy and the place could do with a big refreshment. Of course it was value for the little money we paid for the night but could really see how this place would benefit for a little TLC "
- 21 Mar 2015 donna Ireland
- " The place was cheap but with some negative aspects according to the room. Like the windows didnt close completely. It did get a lil bit cold in the roo. "
- 16 Mar 2015 Andreas Austria
- " First impression is quite bad, it gets better once you adapt. Security is bad. Bathrooms are dirty, and you have to plan and organize yourself carefully once you decide you're gonna take a shower. There's no place to put your stuff, except to take your clothes literally inside the shower with you. Cold and damp, throughout. I reckon it's good if you're only in town to have some fun for a night or two. Otherwise, you'll probably want to feel more comfortable. "
- 24 Jan 2015 Jelena Croatia
- " The hostel was really well located and the staff very nice. However the bathroom wasn't so clean, especially the showers. No possibility of locking the door for the shower, you could see the shape of people using them (even though you couldn't see the body clearly it still didn't feel great to use the shower) and no place to put your clothes or towel while showering. Bad smell when you enter the hostel but doesn't smell bad in the rest of the place. "
- 13 Sep 2014 Anonymous France
- " Nimmos has huge potential in my view but a few things could still be improved. However; Main Entrance, Hallways, Stairwells all need bright refreshing lick of paint and removal of worn away carpets as they bring down the tone as you arrive. Windows need to be Dbl-glazed as very loud noise from pub-goers outside til 4am. Dorm bedroom doors should not be unlocked for anyone to gain entry! Breakfast should also be included in rates and a TV would be a welcome addition in the sofa seating area. "
- 12 Sep 2014 Anonymous Ireland
- " The hostel is located near the harbour and the city centre, there are lot of shops and tea rooms around. In the night you can hear the stream (when the noise of the pub stopped), which I liked very much. I slept in a 12-bed-dormitory and I was surprised how good that worked. The unisex bathroom was new decorated. "
- 30 Jul 2014 Meike Germany
- " Very poorly run. Rang twice to change and then confirm the booking. Arrived to be told no record of change to reservation was recorded. Manage was ok about it but would not allow us or booking fee towards the cost so lost 35 euro. Very dirty hostel with no standards. No key for our room so had to wait for manager to let us in. I missed a bus because he disappeared for half an hour ago couldn't get access to the room. Would not recommend to anyone. "
- 27 Jul 2014 Anonymous Ireland
- " The slightly moldy smell when you enter, did not mirror the cleanliness of the rooms (although there was already a sign "Ask for new bed linen if you are not satisfied with the own you got"). They were, like the clean bathrooms, brand new, but sparse, furnished. Did not use the shared kitchen. The owner got a more old-fashioned style and organisation but was friendly. There was loud music outside with no correlation to the hostel. So if you want a cheap adventure with overnightstay, this is it. "
- 17 Jul 2014 Anonymous Germany
- " This is my second visit to Nimmos Hostel after 2 years. Best value for money, great location, great people, and Jim is absolutely the man you want to meet. There's no reason not to stay here. They've done a good bit of renovation since 2012 and is even better than before. Friendliest people you will meet in Galway. "

The Philippines, as the host of APEC in 2015, held the APEC Informal Senior Officials' Meeting (ISOM) in Manila on 8-9 December 2014 in preparation for the following year's agenda under the main theme of inclusive economic growth. On this occasion, PECC organized a media roundtable over lunch on the 12th that gathered foreign correspondents and local media representatives covering economic and trade news to discuss some of the issues on the APEC 2015 agenda and to gauge media's interest. Fact sheets on Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) and a glossary of trade terms frequently used by PECC and APEC were distributed at the roundtable cum briefing. Undersecretary Laura Del Rosario, the Philippine senior official for APEC and incoming SOM chair from the Department of Foreign Affairs delivered opening remarks as the guest-of-honor and informed the media of the prioritized issues that were raised during the ISOM.

The Singapore National Committee for Pacific Economic Cooperation (SINCPEC) and the Philippine Pacific Economic Cooperation Committee (PPECC) were the co-organizers of annual Singapore PECC conference, "Achieving Inclusive Economic Growth in the New Normal," in support of APEC 2015 chaired by the Philippines.
During the APEC Leaders' Meeting held in Beijing in November 2014, key decisions were taken to make progress on key elements of the regional agenda, including on a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) and improving connectivity. The challenge is how regional economies can implement these plans to ensure that regional growth is not only sustainable but also inclusive.
The conference addressed the following themes through five plenary sessions:
1) Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in a Changing Global Context: Risks and Opportunities
2) Inclusive Growth: Building Capacity at Individual and Community Levels
3) Connectivity and Regional Economic I...

An expert on banking and financial intermediation, Professor John Kimball Dietrich (University of Southern California Marshall School of Business) has passed away on 25 January. Kim is survived by his wife, USC Marshall Professor Judith Blumenthal, two children, and five grandchildren. Kim was one of the pioneers in thinking about Asia-Pacific cooperation on financial policy issues bringing his considerable expertise on the development of the US financial markets to enrich discussions on the future of finance in Asia.
Kim's style and knowledge were much appreciated at a time of great uncertainty following the Asian financial crisis, and his contributions focused on the development of debt capital markets provided a rich source of ideas influencing a future vision of the region. In particular, his work focused on trying to think of ways to improve sources of domestic funding for small and medium companies in the region to provide more stable sources of funding with exposure to the...
According to the State of the Region 2014-2015 report released from Beijing, China on November 7th 2014 during the APEC Leaders' Week, the region needs to undertake significant reforms over the coming months and years to maintain its strong growth. PECC's annual survey of the regional policy community identified technological innovation; policy reform; trade (to both emerging and advanced economies); and investment in infrastructure as the future drivers of growth over the next 5-10 years. These engines are needed to replace the region's reliance on exports as the primary engine of growth.
The most important factors identified by the annual PECC survey for future growth prospects of the region were: the success of structural reforms in China, further liberalization and improvements to the rule of law. These factors were echoed throughout the survey findings which placed a slowdown in the Chinese economy; a lack of political leadership in the region; and failure to implemen...Read more...

I Am No Soldier: Do We Have An Obligation To Serve?
To me, "father" and "soldier" are almost antithetical words. My 89-year-old parent was an English professor. He taught Shakespeare. His world was (and still is to a certain extent) a man of theatre, books, film and intellectual banter. A hammer and a screwdriver were dangerous tools in his hands. His mind was much stronger than his muscles.
But my father was indeed a soldier. He served in the South Pacific for three years as a sailor on a Mine Sweeper. Like many from his generation, he did not speak much about his service during World War II. His stories had more to do with the salamis his mother sent him, escapes to hiding places to read and sea sickness, than they did with battles, blood and death.
Slowly, just because I was tenacious in my curiosity, did he begrudgingly tell of his brave Captain who saved his life through a Monsoon; or the times that his ship morphed into a hospital unit; or his relief in learning of American victory so that he might return home.
"Didn't it affect your life? Weren't you scared? Did you ever think you would die"?, I would ask. "I didn't think about it that way. That is what we all did. There was no other way," he would answer as a matter of fact.
My teenage brain could not understand. I needed more. Finally, he told me that six months after he returned, while getting ready for Shabbat dinner, he burst out in a deep cry for a half hour. He wiped off his tears and went to have dinner with his family. He didn't remember processing the reaction with his parents. "I guess I needed to let it all out somehow and that was my reaction. I have never thought much about it since," he told me.
Needless to say, as we commemorate Veterans Day this week, we are a nation so exhausted from almost fourteen years of war. As much as we try to extricate ourselves from battle, there is no clear end in sight. We no longer send ALL of our children to serve and I wonder if we have lost our connection to the "soldier's narrative." My father's generation didn't think they were anything special because they were all obliged to serve our country. It didn't matter if you were made to be a soldier or not.
I am as opposite of a soldier as my father was in his day. But in a strange way, I long for his time when service was not an option. He grew up faster. He understood obligation to others sooner. He learned to navigate a complicated world before he graduated college.
We don't know the soldier's story today because we are not asked to serve ourselves. During this week when we honor those who fight on our behalf, I think it is our obligation to know the America whose stories are too often hidden. And, it is time that all of us think about service of all types. Many of us are not cut out to; or inclined to fight as soldiers, but we live in a country crying out for us to serve in a variety of ways which can help us become whole.

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
A number of recent essays have been swimming their way across the blogosphere and seem to have serendipitously swirled together. The Conservative movement, even at its largest and healthiest, has always been, like the Jewish people itself, overly worried about its imminent destruction, so when a young woman asks why men raised in an egalitarian setting, who like her, care about halakha, leave for Orthodoxy, when she cannot do so, when the Pew report seems to indicate shrinkage in the stable Jewish middle, when the once-dean of a Conservative rabbinical seminary writes the movement's obituary, and when the smirky response to the woman asking how her friends could abandon her is responded to with the claim that it's her own fault for daring to be equal, cause ya know, men can't stand to have anyone be equal to them, it makes them expendable, one might expect a flurry of worry from the most worried of all Jewish movements. And there were.
Of course, there were also some very interesting discussions spawned from these articles ( by which, yes, I do mean to imply that I found most—except for the first of these—exercises silly). The one that I found myself most interested in was a discussion of when we lost the idea of obligation, and how important it is to get it back. Not simply for the idea of halakha—but also in terms of obligations to one another, and to our communities, and to God—rather than the pursuit of happiness, that goal that seems to take up so much of Americans' time, and yet be so fleeting.
And so I invited those people who, like me, are Conservative because we care about halakha, deeply and passionately, and we care about the idea of obligation, in all those ways, to have a conversation about how to revive it: To revive a sense of seriousness about halakha, about egalitarianism, and about obligation, together.
The Conservative movement is my home because these are all things that I cannot do without, and I'm ready to find that core of people—whom I know are there, because I've met them and davenned with them, and eaten with them—so that the Conservative movement knows they're there, too.And I invite you too. If you're interested, leave a message for me and let's start talking.

The Pedagogy of Nemo: What a Winter Storm Can Teach Us About Shabbat
Well, that was an unexpected weekend! For those of you who do not live in the Northeast, we just got walloped by a monster snowstorm. At my own home in Connecticut, we have 38 inches of snow and we are only beginning to dig our way out.
But I think there was something special about Nemo (the name given for this storm), aside from the stupendous amount of snow it delivered: Nemo became a dramatic metaphor for Shabbat. According to tradition, there are two primary components of the Sabbath: shamor and zakhor. This dual structure emerges from the rabbinic attempt to reconcile the fact that the verb shamor (keep, observe) is used in reference to Shabbat in the version of the Ten Commandments found in Deuteronomy 5:11 whereas zakhor (remember, internalize) is used in reference to Shabbat in the version of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:8. Shamor is the more active of the two, corresponding to the rituals and practices we do (or, often more importantly, cessation from doing) on Shabbat itself that mark Shabbat as different from the rest of the week. Nemo gave all of us in the Northeast a sense of what being Shomer Shabbat entails. For more than 24 hours, from Friday afternoon until Saturday night, we were deluged with snow so thick and relentless that everyone had to stay at home. No one could leave to go to work, shop, or do anything else. The fascinating paradox of shamor is that restriction can actually lead to liberation. Being prohibited from engaging in our daily affairs during Nemo's fury freed us up to spend new-found time with family and friends, to take time to communicate and interact with one another in ways that our frenetic lives often make difficult.
The shamor aspect of Shabbat usually gets the majority of attention. But the zakhor component is equally important within Judaism. Zakhor corresponds to the obligation to internalize Shabbat's meaning, to locate Shabbat as the center of our temporal consciousness. From preparing for Shabbat ahead of time to reciting the kiddush during our meals, we take time to be mindful of Shabbat's inherent sanctity. A major rabbinic contribution to this feature was insisting that "oneg," or delight, be a part of our Shabbat experience. Rejecting the option of an ascetic Shabbat (which the anti-rabbinic Karaites would later endorse), rabbinic Judaism embraced a Shabbat of majesty and exuberance through food, attire, song, and all the other ways in which we celebrate Shabbat. Standing outside, watching my children flop around in the thick snow while attempting to throw snowballs at my wife, I found myself re-capturing that sense of pure, unfiltered joy. The smiles and squeals of delight, like a Hasidic Friday night meal, lasted for hours. We were left with the sense of exuberant exhaustion you might feel after laughing for a really, really long time.
I won't be sad when the temperature rises above freezing, my children finally get back to school, and life once more returns to normal. But I hope that the lesson I took from Nemo—that Shabbat should be about the liberation of obligation and a sense of infinite joy—will continue to reverberate within my Shabbat experience long after the snow melts away.

Is Freedom A Jewish Virtue?
Are you on the freedom bandwagon yet? Celebrations of the concept of freedom seem to be permeating the cultural-political zeitgeist these days. Stephen Spielberg's movie "Lincoln," which tells the story of President Lincoln's efforts to pass a Constitutional amendment banning slavery, just received a leading 12 nominations for best picture of the year. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, in which we celebrate the birth of the great civil rights hero who helped lead African Americans in their struggle for freedom from racial oppression, is just around the corner (January 21).
And have you seen the Piers Morgan-Alex Jones interview yet? In a clip that has gone viral, Jones, a radio talk show host and gun enthusiast, launches into a vitriolic tirade about guns, freedom, and potential revolution that makes one wonder how he qualified for a gun permit in the first place.
All of this happens to be coinciding with the time of year in which Jews read the Exodus narrative. At first glance, it appears to be perfect timing. After all, the story of God's deliverance of the Israelites from slavery to freedom formed the moral and linguistic basis for Kin''s civil rights oratory and is inextricably intertwined with Western society's development of a natural right to liberty (which underlies both the 13th Amendment and gun owner's claims to liberty from government intrusion into gun ownership).

Knit beanies or toboggans
aubratgyrlDecember 10, 2009
I have a brother PE 780D. I want to embroider some beanies or toboggans. I used a size 11 needle, used sticky backing and stuck the hat to it, but when I started the machine the stitches just disappeared. It looks as though they are going straight through the hat. What am I doing wrong? Can the hat be hooped or is that a no no?
What type of stabilizer, needle etc should I be using?
Thanks so much

- structural phase transition
VO2 single crystals with unprecedented quality, exhibiting a first-order metal–insulator transition (MIT) at 67.8 °C and an insulator –insulator transition (IIT) at ∼49 °C, are grown using a self-flux evaporation method. Using synchrotron-based X-ray microdiffraction analysis, it is shown that the IIT is related to a structural phase transition (SPT) from the monoclinic M2 phase to the M1 phase upon heating while the MIT occurs together with a SPT of M1 to the rutile R phase. All previous reports have shown that VO2 exists in the M1 phase at room temperature in contrast to the M2 phase observed in this work. We suggest that internal strain inside single crystal VO2 may generate the previously unobserved IIT and the unusual room temperature structure. (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — Mayor Marlin Kuykendall took a lead role in helping Prescott mourn the loss of 19 firefighters this summer, sharing the stage with the governor and Vice President Joe Biden at a nationally televised memorial. He set aside campaigning in the midst of a re-election bid to focus almost entirely on the fallen firefighters, and his victory to a third term seemed like a safe bet.
That all changed when he and the city started coming under attack on a daily basis over their refusal to extend full benefits to all of the firefighters' families. The issue sharply divided the community and quickly eliminated most of the unity that Prescott enjoyed in the days after the tragedy.
The mayor said in an interview with The Associated Press that he "certainly could be at risk depending on the mood and the confidence that the public has in the way we've handled this situation."
"You keep hearing this has been a perfect storm — that has been used a lot," Kuykendall said. "I have to say life has not been the same since June the 30th."
Up until the firefighters' deaths on that day, Prescott residents had been concerned with making sure the city would have a future water supply, that jobs would be created and protected, roads would be fixed and that the city was buying open space with money from a sales-tax increase. Those issues still loom, but the Yarnell Hill Fire is an election issue that no one saw coming.
The dispute between the city and some of the firefighters' families has focused on the classification of 13 of the men as temporary employees, which doesn't come with full survivors' benefits. The city has said it cannot legally extend the benefits afforded to the six full-time employees' families to the others. Grieving widows have lashed out at city leaders in public meetings and through the media, saying each man put his life on the line.
Kuykendall faces former city Councilwoman Lindsay Bell in the mail-in primary that will also deal with three open city council seats. The council races won't be settled until after the general election in November, but the mayor's race will be decided after the primary because there are only two candidates.
Bell doesn't disagree with the job Kuykendall has done but thinks she can do better. She has kept a low profile when it comes to talking about the firefighters' deaths. She's heard from voters who are enraged that the City Council didn't allow the widow of Eric Marsh to speak at a meeting about rebuilding the Granite Mountain Hotshot crew he founded and from others who are dismayed at the way Kuykendall has treated the families who have spoken out about survivors' benefits, she said.
"I would never intrude on the families and give them my opinion about some of these various issues and controversies, and I certainly would never use the tragedy to advance my political aspirations," she said.
The candidates themselves aren't necessarily making the firefighters' deaths a talking point with voters. There's a political nicety in this former territorial capital that has kept them from harshly attacking one another.
But most everyone in town has an opinion about the city's stance on the benefits, and they're sharing them with the candidates, often prefaced by the sadness they feel for the families. For some, it's a major factor in how they're voting.

Figured it was prob something I'd screwed up on the hardware but I reflashed 4.3 stock just incase and the same thing happened, I then flashed 4.4 same thing.
Strange thing was I put on 4.2.2 and it installs and boots fine. The screen works and everything fine on it except its running a pretty old android.
Anyone know if there's hardware that's got enabled in 4.3 or something hardware related that would be causing this ?
Going to take it apart again see I've put it back properly but I found it strange that 4.2.2 worked fine.
