LexisNexis® Risk Solutions today announced it is expanding its global usage-based insurance (UBI) solutions with the acquisition of Wunelli, an industry-leading telematics data services company based in the United Kingdom. Together, the companies will empower insurers to leverage telematics data to make timely, informed decisions, reduce risk exposure and improve consumers' experience with usage-based insurance.
"Wunelli brings telematics expertise, solutions, scores and unique data assets, experience with hundreds of millions of miles of telematics data that can help advance our existing telematics offering and provide our customers with greater ROI, and faster speed to market," said Bill Madison, CEO, Insurance, LexisNexis. "With usage-based insurance projected to grow to approximately 15-30% of the global auto insurance market in the coming years, our customers have communicated an increased need for a variety of telematics solutions to help them attract safer drivers, improve retention and avoid adverse selection."
The combined LexisNexis and Wunelli datasets will result in one of the largest provider-held insurance telematics databases in the world, with solutions to support insurers as they assess risk, discount safer drivers and serve customers more effectively.
Wunelli Director, Sandy Dunn, said: "LexisNexis and Wunelli share a complementary vision to provide the most comprehensive risk assessment solutions available to the insurance industry, and we look forward to combining our offerings. LexisNexis data and analytics expertise, fast linking technology and HPCC Systems® platform will help our customers execute on their global telematics strategies, while offering them an unparalleled level of insurance telematics service and support."
In the U.K., recent research shows that although only 4% of drivers currently have telematics fitted to their vehicles, almost 20% would consider telematics at their next renewal. A LexisNexis 2013 Insurance Telematics Study found that in the U.S., discounts are the number one driver for UBI enrollment – 50% of consumers are likely to sign up for a 10% discount, while 36% would actually change insurers for a 10% discount.
About Wunelli
Wunelli, founded in 2007, has spent years enhancing its extensive data capabilities and developing its own telematics hardware and applications to safely collect and score data. This expertise enables insurers to better understand their customers' driving behaviour with the industry's most accurate driving data and trusted driving scores, through a range of tailored products and services.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken.

Neverwinter: Strongholds might get me back into the game
Jul 31
// Joe Parlock
Building your Stronghold [embed]296961:59747:0[/embed] With the goal of providing "interesting and meaningful experiences to guilds", the process of creating and upgrading your guild's stronghold is at the heart of the expansion. All buildable structures and upgrades are ultimately decided by the leaders of the guild, but those goals are worked towards by every member through the "Coffers" system. Coffers are the total resources available to a guild to help build up their stronghold, and they're separated into three categories: materials, which are found in the lands surrounding your stronghold such as lumber; treasures, which are earned by playing through the campaign zones of the wider game such as the Dread Ring campaign; and stockpiles, the normal loot, gold, and astral diamonds players earn throughout the game. Finding these resources ensures creating a good stronghold for your guild isn't just a case of the leaders fiddling with the UI; every member of the guild would have a role to play, be it collecting resources or planning out where structures will go. Once there are enough resources to build a new structure in the stronghold, or to upgrade an already existing one, the guild leaders can then start the work of upgrading, while also setting the next goal for the guild to work towards. However, the amount of upgrades you can apply to a structure depends on the overall level of the guild's keep. While structures have a maximum level of 10, the keep can grow up to level 20. However, structures can't out-level the keep, so sometimes an effort must be made to upgrade the keep rather than simply rushing for all the new and shiny buildings. As players donate these hard-earned resources to their guild's coffers, they are awarded guild marks with which they can buy new gear and items for themselves at the marketplace. It's a way of incentivising altruism among the guild, and is one of the few times in the game players can make decisions for themselves that aren't directly linked to the decisions of their wider guild. Another way the guild must coordinate in building their stronghold is in the new added boons. Boons are passive bonuses granted to players, and in Strongholds, structures can be built to grant the entire guild specific types of boons. There are currently four categories: offense, defense, utility, and Player vs. Player (PvP). The catch is not every type of boon would available for a guild at the same time, as there are only a limited number of boon structures that can be made. This requires decisions to be made about how players within the guild will be buffed. An example given would be a raiding guild may put more emphasis into PvP or offensive boons to increase their power. The boons in each category would be optional for each individual player, however what type of boon is available is up to the guild. It's a neat mechanic, as now other players who you'd regularly play with have an active impact on how your character works, and how these buffs influence your character may well change in the future. Should the guild decide to change an offensive boon structure to a defensive one, the boons you previously had would no longer apply. It's interesting, however I could also see it causing some conflict within guilds. The area given to a guild to build its stronghold on is the biggest zone Neverwinter has ever seen: it is three times bigger than the biggest previous one. The zone is split into multiple, smaller themed areas, each with their own enemies and quests. For example, there may be faetouched areas, or there may be areas that are more desolate, and different enemies may be encountered in each one. It's nice to see some variance in the zone, as Neverwinter does have a problem of each zone being its own themed thing that gets boring sometimes: the snowy zone, the desert zone, or the city zone and nothing but that. Some areas will be sealed off and hidden until the stronghold has been built up and expanded on, but what's interesting is that the future of the zone isn't entirely known even to Perfect World yet. The strongholds system is planned to be expanded upon over the course of at least the next two expansions: Strongholds and a currently unannounced expansion after that. According to them, being "done" with building a stronghold simply isn't possible, as new structures and boons will be made available in future updates. While there is a storyline planned out for Strongholds and the expansion after that, the specifics of what sort of boons and structures will be included in them are apparently down to player feedback and community suggestions. New Player vs. Environment Content Building up a guild's stronghold isn't the only new addition to Neverwinter. Alongside it comes a new range of player vs. environment content, much like in the previous expansions before it. However, a lot of this will still directly help your stronghold grow. Firstly, the act of actually acquiring your guild's new keep will be part of a quest line that changes as the stronghold grows. At first, your guild and a travelling band of Orcs will both arrive at the same time, causing there to be multiple skirmishes and missions available. Finding guards, protecting farms, and driving off Orcs to ensure that your keep is safe in the early days. As the keep levels up, new enemies will start to appear in the zone. For example, the second phase of the zone involves mercenaries appearing to try and steal the keep from you, giving you multiple quests involving dealing with them. The zone's campaign appears to play out in much the same way as previous campaign zones such as the Dread Ring have, however there is also the added dimension of it being dependent on your keep's level. Of course, there will also be a series of daily quests available from your stronghold's steward too, and they will also help guide players to the next of their campaign quests. Greed of the Dragonflight That's all pretty standard expansion stuff: more of what Neverwinter players will be used to. What's particularly interesting is the major new boss fight that occurs in the Strongholds zone. Dubbed Greed of the Dragonflight, the boss is designed to be played by guilds of 40 or more players who must coordinate and plan out how to take down four powerful dragons simultaneously across the map. If one dragon is killed, the other three will flee shortly afterwards, requiring guilds to figure out which players are best suited to take on each dragon, and make sure all four of them die at the same time. Doing so will net the guild huge rewards, some of the most powerful items in the game, according to Perfect World. However, failure to nab all for dragons doesn't mean nothing was gained. Due to some guilds not having enough players to take down all four dragons, there is a sliding scale of what rewards are given. The more dragons the guild can kill, the better the loot given. What I saw of this event reminded me of my favourite bit of Neverwinter: the timed boss events. Instances are great, questing is fun, but seeing the alert to head to an area of the map to slay as big-as-hell lizard was always really cool to me. It's involving, it's hectic, and it looks as though adding in the extra element of needing to size up who takes on which dragon will make it all the more satisfying when the guild succeeds. The difference between normal timed events and Greed of the Dragonflight is that it isn't only a timed event. Due to a large amount of player requests, Perfect World is allowing guilds to trigger the event manually whenever they like, and so it could become a pretty big part of guild social life somewhere down the line. A New PvP mode inspired by MOBAs Player vs. Player in Neverwinter has been the centre of Perfect World's attention for a while now: originally offering a fairly basic 5v5 arena mode, an open-world PvP was later added in Icewind Dale, and of course Strongholds will be adding even more for those who like stomping other players. The PvP added to Strongholds is a 20v20 Guild vs. Guild mode, which when I first heard about it reminded me a lot of Guild Wars 2's World vs. World feature. However, it appears as though the new mode is being more inspired by the likes of Dota and League of Legends. This isn't a compulsory feature, guilds must queue up to enter the mode. Once in the game, guilds will find their strongholds and surrounding lands "glued together", with a river separating the two. The MOBA inspiration comes on the emphasis of controlling the various lanes between the two strongholds, while pushing forward and sieging the enemy guild. Perfect World has also catered to smaller guilds that might not have 20 players online at a time. When in queueing, if a guild has enough players to spare, they will be transferred temporarily to the other guild and fight for them instead. It's a nice way of evening the playing field, but it will also be interesting to see where their alliances lie once the match is underway. It's worth noting I didn't get to actually see any PvP in action, due to the problems setting up a game with 40 players just to show me it would've caused. As such, all of this is only how it was described to me by Overmyer. Final Thoughts As previously mentioned, I've got a fair amount of experience with Neverwinter, however the lack of something to keep me interested once I'd finished the story quests meant I dropped out of the game soon after. Guilds have always been something in MMOs I've had an interest in, but never found the right match – I always ended up in quiet, inactive guilds where nothing ever happened. Strongholds looks like it wants to solve both of my problems, while giving me more of the solo content that got me into the game at first. I'm somewhat concerned that finding decent guilds might still be tricky, but maybe the new toys guilds can play with will convince people to give running guilds a go. PvP has never been a big interest of mine. I got into Rift's quite a bit, but still eventually found myself going back to questing. Neverwinter in particular has been quite notorious for equipment you can buy in the store being perceived to be more powerful than stuff you can earn in-game, which always put me off PvP. However, if it's true that the rewards from Greed of the Dragonflight are some of the strongest in the game, it could go a way to fix that problem. Overall, I'm excited. I'm definitely going to be going back into it just to see how all of these new mechanics change how people interact within guilds, if at all. Plus Dragonflight is a condensed version of everything I like about Neverwinter, which is great. Neverwinter: Strongholds will be released on August 11 as the next free expansion on PC. Neverwinter is free-to-play on both Xbox One and PC.

Apparently there are cancellations on the CE versions of MGSV:TTP from Europe and North America. People getting emails saying they are cancelled and such. On top of that is that there's been unboxings that don't have the extras for the Day One edition.

JL Audio Selects Widen DAM to Globally Manage Their Growing Media Library
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MADISON, WI -- (Marketwired) -- 03/04/14 -- JL Audio, an American-based manufacturer of high-end audio solutions for the home, mobile and marine audio markets, has selected the Widen Media Collective for its digital asset management (DAM) needs. JL Audio is a worldwide company that will use DAM to deliver large amounts of digital assets, quickly and easily, to globally dispersed dealers and distributors.
Known as a leader in the car audio industry, JL Audio has expanded and become a leader in the overall high-end audio equipment industry, including home, and marine audio as well. As self-proclaimed "audio nuts," they design and release many new products every year, each generating a large amount of digital support materials used by their dealer network in the United States, and their global distributor network in over 70 countries. It became clear that an easy-to-use, on-demand web-based solution was critical -- one that could efficiently store, manage and distribute those digital materials.
"Dealers and distributors call with requests for logos, product images, presentations and advertisements in specific formats and at specific sizes. We would go through the painstaking process of doing it for that one person," said Andrew Sheehy, Creative Director for JL Audio. "We'd hold on to those files for a couple of weeks, and after I'd clean up my desktop, someone else would call with a similar request, and we'd have to do it again." They had a previous image server system that was rudimentary. One size and format was uploaded, and that same size and format was all that could be downloaded. It still required them to manually manage large file requests and special size and format requests.
JL Audio began their search for an improved and dedicated DAM solution. They investigated a number of different solutions paying close attention to the functionality of the interface, its ease-of-use, and location of the provider. In addition, the ability to upload one image, audio or video format, and the ability to download different conversion options of that file, were features that made Widen's solution stand out. As a proud American company doing real manufacturing in the U.S.A., JL Audio was also happy to find a DAM vendor that is U.S.-based, supporting U.S. jobs.
"Widen's advisors were very professional and knowledgeable. If I had questions, they knew exactly what was going on and answered them right away. There was no need to check and get back to me," stated Sheehy. "This ease of communication was very much appreciated and made a big difference, compared to other services we evaluated." The DAM system will be used to service their global network of dealers and distributors. These users will have on-demand global access to logos, product images, beauty and lifestyle photography, PDFs of catalogs, magazine ads, videos, and audio files.
"The need to better streamline asset delivery to dealers and distributors is one we consult on quite often," said Craig Bollig, senior digital asset management advisor at Widen. "For the JL Audio team, it was imperative those groups could access the DAM solution and very easily find the needed assets without a request workflow. This frees up the JL Audio team to continue being productive on creating better content." About JL AudioFounded in 1975 in Miramar, Florida, JL Audio is a privately held American company manufacturing high-end audio solutions for the home, mobile and marine audio markets. JL Audio products are sold exclusively by specialty retailers throughout the U.S.A. and are distributed in seventy-two countries around the world. Recipient of numerous awards and accolades, JL Audio loudspeakers, amplifiers and subwoofers have been awarded fourteen U.S. patents for innovative audio technology. Facebook: @jlaudio Twitter @jlaudio About Widen Enterprises, Inc.Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Widen has honed its more than 60 years of experience in premedia services and color management specifically for assisting customers with building brand equity and supporting consistent brand representation across print and Web communications. Through its inventive suite of Web-based digital asset management applications, Widen software services provide marketing networks with real-time, Web-based access to clients' digital asset libraries, subsequently eliminating manual search and file preparation time, costs related to replacing images and videos that cannot be located, and added costs for hardware, software and upgrades.

Saturday May 31, 2014 MYT 5:57:47 AM
Saturday May 31, 2014 MYT 5:59:03 AM
LONDON (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton has cleared the air with Mercedes Formula One team mate Nico Rosberg after the title-chasing pair fell out at last weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.
The Briton, who lost the overall lead in the championship to Rosberg on Sunday after the German ended Hamilton's run of four wins in a row, took to Twitter on Friday to declare fences had been mended.
"We've been friends a long time and as friends we have our ups and downs. Today we spoke and we're cool, still friends #noproblem," declared the 2008 champion.
The Tweet was accompanied by a link to a photograph of the two, together on unicycles and smiling, from their teenage years.
The Briton had been distinctly unsmiling in Monaco after Rosberg took a controversial pole position and went on to win the showcase race for the second successive year.
Hamilton had suggested after qualifying that Rosberg had deliberately run wide in the final seconds, bringing out yellow warning flags and forcing him to slow when he might have gone faster than the German.
"We are not friends, we are colleagues," he had said after the race.
Rosberg, who has known Hamilton since they were team mates in karting, offered a different perspective on Sunday even if Hamilton had shunned him on the podium.
"We've always been friends, we always will be friends," the German had said. "But friends is a big word. What exactly is friends? We have a good relationship and work well together."

Third-place run caps double-podium weekend for Bourdais (VIDEO)
Jul 14, 2013, 7:00 PM EDT
Scott Dixon may have swept both races of the Honda Indy Toronto doubleheader, but it's safe to say that Sebastien Bourdais also had a heck of a weekend in Canada.
The four-time Champ Car World Series champion followed up his runner-up result on Saturday with a third-place finish in today's Race 2 behind Dixon and Helio Castroneves.
His second podium in two days is even more impressive considering that the "push-to-pass" overtake system on his No. 7 Dragon Racing Chevrolet was unavailable to him during the race.
"It was really hard and it was from seventh place, so we had to be on the move," Bourdais told NBC Sports Network. "All these [late] restarts, I thought they were going to be against us because I was just a sitting duck on the back straight.
"It just so happened that things turned out our way. We made the moves and made them stick, and I had a really good car on the [final] restart. It was hooked up."
As a result, Bourdais has his first consecutive podium finishes since winning at Australia and Mexico City to finish the 2007 Champ Car World Series season.
Now, to an equally pressing matter: Did he have more issues with trophies on the podium today?
As you may recall from Saturday, Bourdais received his second-place prize only to have the crystal cup then fall off the base, bounce twice, and then break on the third hit.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
Today, though, it appeared that Bourdais had no problems handling his second piece of hardware from Toronto.

Texas QB Ash Says 'Good To Be Back' After Injuries
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Texas quarterback David Ash met with reporters for the first time in almost a year Monday, declaring it feels "good to be back" after concussion symptoms wiped out most of his 2013 season.
Ash says a lot of people told him to give up football but he never really considered it. He says team doctors told him he could play again. Ash also says he had a lot of talks with his family about his return.
Ash was injured in the second game last season and played only one more half before he was injured again. He also sat out part of spring drills with a broken foot.
Despite those problems, new coach Charlie Strong says Ash is the starter entering training camp.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) awarded SRA International, a provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to federal agencies, a contract calling for the company to develop a new online, real-time, transaction-based system for processing premium payments for the more than 30,000 private-sector pension plans it insures.
PBGC is a federal entity responsible for protecting the pensions of more than 44 million American workers and retirees.
The contract, awarded Sept. 29, has an estimated value of $12.3 million over six years if all options are exercised, SRA said in an announcement today.
As part of an overall modernization effort, PBGC is automating its existing systems to eliminate or minimize the manual processes it uses to capture, maintain and correct data.
Under this contract, SRA will design, develop and implement a Premium and Practitioner System to support premium filing processes. The system will include Oracle e-Business Suite Financial and Customer Relationship Management modules customized to PBGC's specific business requirements for premium filing and systems integration, SRA said.
SRA team members include Capgemini and TeraThink.
The integrator's services will also include program management; systems design, development and integration; testing; integration of commercial products; and training.
"The SRA team has a long history of developing and supporting key e-government systems for PBGC, including the My Plan Administration Account premium filing system," said Tim Atkin, vice president and director of the civil sector at SRA. "We will use this experience and knowledge of PBGC's processes and systems to develop a secure, online premium payment system that will achieve business and technical efficiencies."

Widescreen/ Blu-Ray PG 13. Jumper
As preposterous action movies go, Jumper is pleasantly unpretentious and breezily entertaining. A young man named David (Hayden Christensen) discovers he has the power to teleport (or "jump") anywhere he can visualize. After using this power to steal and make a comfortable life for himself, he pursues the girl he longed for in school (Rachel Bilson, The O. C.). But as he does so, another jumper (Jamie Bell, Billy Elliot) and a pack of fanatical jumper-hunters called paladins (led by a white-haired Samuel L. Jackson) crashes into David's freewheeling life. Jumper wastes no time trying to explain how jumping works or delving into the hows and whys of the paladins; this is an alluring fantasy of power directed at a pell-mell pace by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Go). There's a brief moment when it feels like the movie will bog down in romance and vague gestures towards character development--happily, that's the moment when Bell appears and the whole movie shifts into overdrive. You might wish that Bell and Christensen had swapped roles; Bell has a far more engaging personality, and Christensen's bland good looks might better suit a more aggressive character. Nonetheless, Jumper has oodles of dynamism and nifty visual effects to propel its comic-book storyline forward. A variety of recognizable actors in bit parts (such as Diane Lane and Kristen Stewart, Panic Room) suggest that the filmmakers are laying the groundwork for sequels. Based on a critically-acclaimed science-fiction novel by Steven Gould. --Bret Fetzer

Collapse in 2008/09 was not specific to any country or city; even matured countries like USA, India etc. had faced the impact. I know also some people who made money in properties in Dubai. The only difference between these people and others was "GREEDYNESS". My only suggestion is "be cautious and be prudent".
Ali Wednesday, 30 January 2013 11:03 AM - UAE
I tink people are underestimating the number of cash buyers and how much exactly they bring into the country and invest in property deals. Bloomberg has a report on how there are so many Iranians and Russians (And also Syrians, Afghans, Egyptians etc) who buy property with briefcases full of cash. Needless to say, mortgage restrictions etc. wont affect them at all. Their countries may be a bit poor, but there are thousands of smart businessmen in those countries who think and buy in millions.The Consultant Wednesday, 30 January 2013 3:18 PM - UAE
Leaving aside the guesstimates of how many cash buyers are out there, you seem to be suggesting that it is a good thing for the market for there to be a signficant number of foreign players who turn up with suitcases full of money. Allowing people to buy property in this way is tantamount to putting up a neon sign saying "please launder your money here". Most offshore jurisdictions worked out years ago that hot money can flow out just as quickly as it flows in, leaving the risk that property prices will be ramped up (again) to unsustainable levels, only for these cash buyers to pull their money out when the next big investment opportunity arises, leaving behind a legion of genuine buyers who have paid too much for their properties and a bunch of small-time speculators who got into the market too late. And a whole lot of trouble for anyone actually trying to live and make an honest living in the real Dubai economy.
Sadly it looks like people have very short memories.....Ahmad Wednesday, 30 January 2013 12:46 PM - UAE
Certainly there are some cash buyers, but there are not minority. The evidence is that when the banks stopped lending the real estate market collapsed. So cash buyers are few :)
Then Iranian and Russians consitute less than 5% of the owner of properties in Dubai 80% indians and Pakistani FYI.
please check your statistics well
I can see lots of criticism here with no ground. Investors should do risk assessment on the country, on the industry, on the company you are buying from, if you do a wrong investment decision then it is your issue, don't blame UAE or the institute ( what you see is what you get ).
You know this is not a developed country and the rules and regulations are not very mature and in reture you get better return compared with a developed country subject to a good investment plan.
So the stupidity is dealt with accordinly :)
Ronald Tuesday, 29 January 2013 3:27 PM - UK
Like all Ponzi schemes the Dubai property market will one day simply collapse because the new money has dried up. Emaar is just as guilty as the rest and the 40 per cent is a myth, because letters of credit are being used and trade offs with other investments in sites not being developed are common. Beware, Dubai property is nowhere near a safe investment. Probably never will be, given the repeat of mistakes.Hisham Wednesday, 30 January 2013 10:27 AM - UAE
It still continues to amaze me that Westerners see Dubai as some sort of a temporary thing. Probably because in most Westerners' minds Arabs aren't supposed to build beautiful modern cities. The reality is Dubai and other cities in the region will continue to grow. Another reality is the only drying up is currently happening in the West. Accept and embrace this as this is the reality of the future.Jack Wednesday, 30 January 2013 12:43 AM - UAE
In theory, you could apply your Ponzi scheme statement to every market in the world! How many property markets do you know of that have only followed an upward trajectory since their formation?
Could you also clear up a few questions I have in relation to your opinions.
What do you mean by 'new money'?
Emaar are guilty of what exactly?
What is a 'safe investment' in your opinion? Does such a thing exist or is it just relative to the individual person/group?
Much appreciated, thanks!
Red Snappa Tuesday, 29 January 2013 2:32 PM - Ireland
The problem is the balance between buy-to-live people and buy-to-let-sellon-flip etc, a mature market has a much greater equilibrium between the two.
Frontier markets, will always suffer predominant speculation, when the end product is persistently sold off-plan to help fund construction. It is the same old trap, remembering that the only way Dubai's property market was driven to such dizzy heights in the first instance, was mass speculator activity.
We're back to the Malaysian formula, Singapore as well I believe. You buy a property and if you sell it within 5 years you pay a levy for doing so based on a sliding scale, weighted so that the rate is massive if the buyer's trying to sell within months, decreasing as he or she gets closer to the 5 year threshold.
Pay 40% before you can sell is no deterrent, would an Emaar sales person balk at a speculator paying 40% down up front, I think not?
Finalise the mortgage cap scenario and attract more end users, speculators blow bubbles!
Anon Tuesday, 29 January 2013 2:29 PM - dubai
