With OU and Texas nearing Big 12 exit, here's the biggest questions looming over college athletics

·7 min read

The historic and axis-shifting move of Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 for the SEC is expected to begin next week, sources told Yahoo Sports. While the drama over whether they are leaving has ended, the pettiness, nastiness and clawing over the details of the exit are just beginning.

Around the Big 12, SEC and college sports, the expectation remains that the schools will follow the process necessary to begin unwinding from the Big 12 and applying to the SEC next week. One source indicated that the Big 12 could be informed as early as Monday of Oklahoma and Texas’ intentions, and that the process should play out by the end of the week. Any delay invites interference.

The SEC is expected to vote soon after, and sources maintain to Yahoo Sports that the only significant objection comes from Texas A&M. (One source pointed out that a program like Missouri objecting and getting in the way of the long-term financial interest of Alabama, Florida and Georgia wouldn’t be a prudent move long-term considering the modest value it brings on the football field.)

The only variable remains the historically volatile worlds of Texas and Oklahoma politics, but they’ve been unusually quiet this week. One source indicated that there’s not expected to be significant political interference.

“There’s really no legislative way to prevent this,” a source said. “Despite whatever theatrics may come out in the next few days.”

A different source noted that the Texas Board of Regents chair, Kevin Eltife, who puppeteered this move behind the scenes, is a political animal. There's no way, the source said, Eltife would have done this and then surprised Governor Greg Abbott with the news. With sources telling Yahoo Sports that backchannel conversations have been going on for nearly a year, it's unlikely in the complicated world of Texas politics that anything this significant would have been done without communication at the highest levels.

Here are answers to the biggest questions floating around the Big 12 and beyond today on Friday:

When will Oklahoma, Texas play in the SEC?

The legal counsels involved should take a bow. Their people are saying the right things. Texas and Oklahoma have been aggressive in getting out the word that they're prepared to play the final four years in the Big 12. Well, they have to say this because stating the intention to break a contract is legally foolish. Being a rhetorical good soldier is smart.

The Big 12, like any scorned partner in a relationship, is ready to make things as difficult as possible. The combined buyout for the two schools is nearly $150 million, which is giant cash even for the richest schools. Much like Texas and OU are posturing they are willing to stay, the Big 12 won’t want to give up a nickel.

“I think the Big 12 means it,” said an industry source of the Big 12 forcing Texas and Oklahoma to play out the final four years in the league. “We’ll see whether Texas and OU want to sue to get out or the SEC pays. This time, it doesn’t seem like a stance thing in conversation.”

Texas and Oklahoma obviously have to play the 2021 season. They could be stuck for 2022 as well. It’d be a surprise around the industry if they’re in the Big 12 for the final two years of the league's current TV contract, which expires after the 2024 season, but they’ll still have to pay a significant amount to get out. Texas and Oklahoma are saying the right things. The Big 12 is entrenched. Certainly, the lawyers are drooling at the billable hours to unwind it all.

What's next for the Big 12?

In conversations with sources around the Big 12, there was a resignation in the past 36 hours that Oklahoma and Texas were gone. The focus has shifted to the unwinding and the amount of money it can wring out of OU and Texas.

“Is this a loss for the Big 12, absolutely?” said a high-ranking official “Is it fatal? Absolutely not. We see doors open, and we’ll run right through those doors. I would think that we go big. We have some opportunity for our teams.”

One source put forth a humorous analogy Thursday night: “It’s like a shopping mall lost their two anchor stores, and the rest of the stores are trying to figure out how to stay open.”

How will the Big 12 stay open? Everything will be on the table. One source indicated it could go as large as 16 schools. Could a Western wing with San Diego State, BYU, Boise State and Colorado State be flanked by additions like Houston, Cincinnati, UCF and USF? Those are huge markets and promising programs. The Texas schools in the league – Texas Tech, Baylor and TCU – are expected to try and undercut Houston, but there aren’t many Group of Five programs that have its combination of local population and fertile recruiting ground.

The good news for the Big 12, in a perverse way, is that none of the eight remaining schools in the conference have the market or the cache to emerge as transformative additions for the ACC, Pac-12 or Big Ten. They're certainly not in the same universe that Texas and Oklahoma were for the SEC. Those remaining eight schools don’t have to walk on eggshells anymore around the two alphas, and there’s a feeling that the leadership will be bold and aggressive in re-shaping the league. The league’s best asset is still the state of Texas, perhaps the country’s richest football state. Can they find footholds in others?

What's next in the big-money TV deals with ESPN?

Here’s perhaps the most interesting 30,000-foot takeaway from this week. It’s something that will loom over the Big Ten, ACC, Pac-12 and the remade Big 12. With ESPN so invested in the SEC, owning all of the ACC until 2036 and on the cusp of a significant investment – perhaps near a billion annually – in the 12-team College Football Playoff, the question lingers about how much it'll invest in upcoming rights.

Using ballpark math, if ESPN has to give an extra $130 million annually to the SEC after 2023 and an extra $500 million to the playoff if it takes advantage of the exclusive negotiating window for the 12-team expansion, how big of a factor will those payouts be in the upcoming negotiations with the Big Ten and Pac-12. Competition drives market and price, and ESPN has only so much bandwidth and so many windows. This isn’t to say ESPN won’t be bidding, but it already has a swath of high-grade inventory and that could prevent it from going all-in on the Pac-12 and Big Ten. (It currently has parts of deals with those schools.)

The OU-Texas move may leave the Pac-12 in the toughest spot. The Big Ten’s deal expires in 2023 and the Pac-12’s in 2024. The Big 12 deal will likely be shotgun remade before that. With the Pac-12 the last one to the table, it’ll be interesting to see how much ESPN money remains to drive interest and price. There remains the hope that streaming services and tech companies can drive up the price, as technology and consumption continue to rapidly change.

Some skeptical observers say ESPN going all-in on the SEC and potentially the playoff could weaken the negotiating position of the other leagues. ESPN values live rights significantly, but is there a feeling with long deals with the ACC and SEC and potentially owning the postseason it may not need as much investment elsewhere?

The ACC desperately needs something dynamic to blow up its television deal. The pressure has only increased on the Big Ten and Pac-12 to be aggressive and creative to make sure they don’t get left behind financially. This move will linger for years over television, and potentially create more disruption or, perhaps, alliances to help the other leagues catch up to the SEC.

Ruin and Rising (The Grisha Trilogy #3) by Leigh Bardugo – Review

Overall: 5/5 Stars
Characters: 5/5
Setting: 5/5
Writing: 5/5
Plot and Themes: 4/5
Awesomeness Factor: 5/5
Review in a Nutshell: Ruin and Rising is a spellbinding conclusion to an amazing and unique fantasy series.

“I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but mine.”B

// Content Warning: Violence, Death, Assault, Gun Violence, Torture Mention, Suicide Mention, Rape Mention, Abuse, War Themes, Murder //

“‘You might make me a better man.’
‘And you might make me a monster.’”

– Premise –

Ruin and Rising is the final book in the Grisha Trilogy. The Darkling has taken control and Alina must find the third amplifier if she has any chance of defeating him, but the cost of power may be too much for her.

“I hope you weren’t looking to me to be the voice of reason. I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret.”

– Writing & Setting –

This book has the same gorgeous, flowing writing as any Leigh Bardugo book. Her prose is elegant, but what I really love about it is all of the touches of humor to lighten can definitely be a dark read. The world building in this book is equally excellent, with the world that was first introduced in Shadow and Bone having been expanded on. You can clearly see the effort Leigh Bardugo took in developing this world and the politics that exist in it.

“I’m the Sun Summoner. It gets dark when I say it does.”

– Plot –

Ruin and Rising revolves a lot around politics, planning, and traveling. That said, the tension is always high, making even slower moments impossible to put down. This book also has plenty of plot twists that completely took me by surprise (which isn’t common for me). The one downside to this book is the ending. You will either love it or hate it. During my first read, I was on the hate it side, but after rereading it, I’m starting to learn to like it and appreciate the direction Leigh took it. While it wasn’t exactly what I wanted (and the final battle definitely felt a little rushed), it was certainly memorable.

“In this moment he was just a boy -brilliant, blessed with too much power, burdened by eternity.”

– Characters –

These characters. I love them all so much. Listen, after my first read, I wasn’t a Mal fan. But now? His development is amazing, and he definitely is one of the most loyal characters I’ve ever seen. However, I will say I still love Nikolai more than him. Nikolai is such a fun character, and I spent this whole book just wanting him to be happy. I’m so glad I reread this before King of Scars because I forgot how much depth there was to Nikolai– his ambition, his intelligence, and his dedication make him so amazing.
Meanwhile, the path that Alina takes in this book is fascinating. She walks the line between hero and villain, showing just how easy it is to become the very thing you hate. Her struggle with ambition, greed, and power is amazing to watch. And speaking of power- The Darkling. I love him so much, and yes I know he’s a monster. I just love him as a villain, and as the antagonist in this book. He’s by far my favorite villain, and one of my favorite fictional characters. This book delves further into his backstory and shows how he became what he is, and it is fascinating.
I also just want to mention that the side characters in this book are also amazing and I love them all. Genya and David are relationship goals, Harshaw and Oncat make my life complete, there’s some LGBT rep that makes me smile whenever I think of it, and Zoya slowly became one of my favorite characters in this series.

“Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay.”

– Conclusion –

Pros- Amazing characters, surprising twists
Cons- The ending hurts. A lot.
Overall- 5/5 stars.
Ruin and Rising is a completely unique and gripping conclusion to a memorable series that deserves every ounce of hype it receives. The second you put this book down, you will be dying to re-enter the world (and luckily you can with Six of Crows!)

“Na razrusha’ya. I am not ruined. E’ya razrushost. I am ruination.”

4 Cross Country Flight Planning Tips

To earn different types of pilot certificates and ratings, a student must fly cross country. These four cross country flight planning tips can help you succeed.

Undertaking a cross country flight is an Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirement for earning the sport pilot certificate, the private pilot certificate, and more advanced ratings and certificates. A cross country flight, also abbreviated as XC, refers to distance flying from one point to another. A cross country flight must include the use of dead reckoning, which is using airspeed, distance, time, and distance calculations, as well as reference to visual landmarks, to aviate.

Long cross country flights need to include a landing at a point different from the place from which the pilot departed; three full-stop landings must take place in a long cross country. Pilots are also expected to use electronic navigation aids, radio equipment, and other apparatus to make their journey. At least one leg of the flight need to be fifty nautical miles in a straight line distance from the departure point. In addition, the long cross country flight is required to involve three takeoffs, all from an airport with a control tower in operation. The entire flight needs to cover at least 150 nautical miles.

Pilots who fly cross country must be prepared to not only aviate on their own and conduct a thorough preflight and demonstrate the ability to file an accurate and workable flight plan. Before undertaking any of this, pilots are undergo at least 20 hours of training with an FAA certified instructor, as well as at least 10 hours of solo flying in the aircraft in which they seeking to be rated. While there are many moving parts to a successful cross country flight, careful planning can make it easier and more enjoyable.

1) Obtain a Current Weather Briefing

Obtaining a weather briefing is one of the most important aspects of cross country flight planning. Since the pilot is travelling to an area so far from the point of departure, the conditions might be different at one of the destination airports, or the pilot might encounter weather at an in-between point. The best way to plan for this is to understand the conditions aloft, as well as on the ground, and to plan accordingly.

This can allow the pilot to plan for deviations from the flight plan, as well as routes around potentially dangerous weather systems. It informs the pilot on potential turbulence and wind conditions. Such information can help the pilot to plan ahead and to study developing conditions. Pilots can use radar information, wind speed readings, notams (notices to airmen), and information about in-flight weather conditions to make good decisions.

2) File a Flight Plan

Filing a flight plan can seem like a chore, but it is an important part of operating as a safe pilot. In the event a flight does not arrive at its stated destination within 30 minutes of its expected landing projection, the FAA’s Flight Service will go into action to find the pilot and the airplane listed on the flight plan. This might even involve search and rescue operations. It is a good way to set a pilot’s mind at ease before beginning a longer cross country journey.

Flight plans ask pilots to identify if the flight will function under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or both, as the flight’s conditions demand. Pilots must list the aircraft’s identification number, the aircraft type, and whether or not the aircraft is carrying a transponder or any specialized equipment. The airport identifier code of the departing airport is listed, along with the proposed departure time.

A complete flight plan also includes the airplane’s cruising altitude and route with any airport codes along the route. The estimated in route time, along with the intended destination airport with its potential alternates, are listed as well. There is also a space on a flight plan form to include any special remarks, such as what the airplane’s designated call sign is. All of this information is extremely helpful to Flight Services when attempting to track down a flight which has not landed at the stated time.

3) Be Safe and Smart

During cross country flight planning, it is best for pilots to consider what the worst case scenario might be. This eliminates the possibility of becoming frozen by indecision in the event of an emergency. By relying on training and what the pilot has experienced in training flights, the pilot can create a sensible safety margin and have a strong plan in place.

Knowing how to read clouds, developing meteorological conditions, and wind direction is an essential aspect of this. There is a reason why the cross country flight is a requirement for successful completion of a pilot certificate: It asks the pilot to use all the skills he or she has been studying and practicing throughout his or her training. It is important to remain flexible at all stages of the cross country. Modification can take place and air traffic controllers are ready to do their jobs and assist with any changes.

4) Have a Strong Education

Flying cross country can seem daunting, but student pilots who are well prepared will undertake this necessary task with confidence. Cross country flight planning is an essential part to complete this task safely. Reputable flight schools and aeronautical universities such as California Aeronautical University (CAU) prepare students for various certificates and ratings, and a career in aviation. Whether aiming for an instrument rating, a commercial pilot certificate, or another aviation goal, CAU will instruct students in Special Emphasis Area information applicable to cross country flying. Students can achieve this as part of a degree program, or as an aspect of flight training.

These include long range flight planning, instrument knowledge, use of holding patterns, and working with information from ARTCC (Air Route Traffic Control Centers) as well as TRSAs (Terminal Radar Service Areas.) Students will also learn about instrument flying, navigational aids (NAVIDs), and human factors as they apply to avionics.  Such preparation will ready a student for emergency situations, flying with passengers, operating as a pilot for pay, and even instructing other student pilots.

Irvine: Anti-poverty campaigners hold benefit protest at beach

A protest against Universal Credit cuts took place on Friday at Irvine Beach [September 10]

Poverty campaigners and local community groups have joined Unite’s trade union members to protest the £ 20 weekly reduction in Universal Credit at the end of September.

The increase to Universal Credit was introduced at the beginning of the pandemic to help families in need and has been shown to be reduced as soon as the temporary severance system in the workplace is abolished.

Activists argue that uplift remains to support families disproportionately affected by the pandemic for socio-economic status.

Universal Credit recipient Naomi Mackay explained what this reduction meant for her.

She states: “I didn’t choose this. Nobody chose it, but I can’t sleep and I’m always worried about what tomorrow will bring.

Unity protest

“Living this way takes me to a dark place, and it’s very hard to imagine things getting harder after a cut.”

Joe Cullinane, leader of the North Ayrshire Council, supported the protest, saying:

“It’s unexplained that one of the wealthiest countries in the world spends £ 20 a week from the poorest citizens.”

The protest featured a sand sculpture wearing a 20-pound ridge as a life belt and was swept away by the tide on Friday afternoon as a symbolic gesture. Activists say the transformation of a pandemic uplift is to “remove the life belt” when people need it most.

Keith Stoddart, Chair of the West of Scotland Unite Community Branch, said:

“I felt it symbolized what this meant for many, so I chose to wash my life belt.

“The ridge is exactly that, the life belt that allowed people to put food on the table and gave them time to get new uniforms for children returning to school. Many people will fall. ”

Campaign participants also argue that the impact of this reduction will be felt by many over the years to come.

How to Look for a Good Family Photographer
“Capturing life through our lens”

Everybody loves stunning family portraits and photographs that they can hang and display in their homes. But it is not as easy as snapping a photo and then getting it printed. One will need to take into account that there are techniques and skills needed in order to capture the perfect images. This is also the reasons why people would rather want to seek out the help of a Houston Family Photographers to get the kinds of pictures that they want.

Do remember that getting the best photos can come at a price. This is fine though as long as you find the right provider that can get you exactly the kind of photos that you know will be worth the fees involved. Still, not every single photographer where you are will be right for the job. So, it would be up to you to ensure that you will find exactly somebody who is going to be a truly good choice.

Assess your needs
It is always easier to decide which provider you should consider hiring when you know exactly what you want, it would be less daunting to sort through the number so choices available for you when you know exactly what it is that you are looking for. It is easier to weed out those providers that are not right for the cut when you know what you need and what you expect from him. Make sure that you specific the kind of pictures that you need from him too so deciding on a package later is going to be easy.

Sales are not always good deals
Just because a package is on sale does not mean that you should take advantage of it, just because something is offered at a low price does not mean that it would benefit you well. Take the time to really look into what these packages are, what they offer to you, and what you are paying for in exchange. Remember, the best service does not come dirt-cheap. If you want to get excellent service, you have to be ready to pay for a commensurate price.

Know the photographer’s sense of style

Choosing the Perfect Outfit for Summer Wedding

Done with most of the planning and still don’t know what to wear? Don’t worry, as this is the case with most people. Deciding what to wear to a wedding is one of the most interesting yet confusing parts of wedding plans. Selecting the outfit for the wedding basically depend on the wedding venues and season.

Many couples choose to have their wedding ceremonies in early summer as the flowers are in full bloom, the sunshine gives off a nice feeling and the temperature is perfect for the bride to look her best in her wedding dress.

Essentially, the summer wedding dress has to be cool and comfortable, while looking great as any wedding gown. Summer brides have a myriad range of stylish and elegant options, when it comes to picking the dress, as summer is arguably among the most popular wedding seasons. The first thing to remember is taking cue from the wedding venues and climate. Most couples select outdoor locations for their wedding like beaches, gardens and backyards. If the wedding is on a beach or a backyard, then an elegant wedding gown will not be an impressive choice.

It is best to avoid thick fabrics like velvet, fur, brocade or satin on a very hot summer day, instead a strapless style and a light, floating fabric will work best. It is best to select lightweight and cooler fabrics like chiffon, crepe, cotton, lace, organza, tulle, eyelet and georgette. A calf-length or a tea length summer wedding dress with a detachable train, and one that does not cling to the skin, will be a great option. As far as the neckline is concerned, you can experiment with various options available like strapless, sweetheart, off the shoulders, low cut necklines or a halter neckline for a much more modest wedding dress.

The biggest problem that the brides face in a summer outdoor wedding is keeping their hairdos under control. Now this can be a real hard job that is why in hot weather try soft hairdos or pretty hair barrettes. If you do not want to melt then don’t go for heavy makeup or chunky jewellery in hot, humid climates. Choose sandals or fancy flip-flops as per your dress for a comfortable summer wedding.

Choose the perfect dresses for your summer wedding ceremonies as per your location that is truly comfortable and stylish item, and you will feel like a fairy!

Weddings in Asia are a very grand and considered to be once in a life time affair. There are lot of customs and lengthy traditions to be performed, it needs a lot of planning for organizing a wedding successfully.

The venue should be selected and in Asia where wedding is a grand affair, the venue needs to be booked at least months in advance.

There are many vital factors that you must make sure while planning you wedding. In case of an Indian wedding the wedding event, it is full of rituals that needs very detailed attention. These ceremonies include rituals like sangeet, the bridal parties, elaborate decoration of the mandap and the reception hall.

After confirming the number of guests coming, you have to choose a venue large enough to accommodate all the guests with ease. Parking facilities should be there within the premises itself as adequate space is necessary so that the guests don’t face any problems. The theme of weddings in India are mostly traditional like the Gujarat village theme, these may include indoor fireworks and flowers for decorative purposes.

Adequate seating arrangements must be done so that the guests especially the elders can be seated whenever they want. Placing chairs around the wedding hall in a perimeter is a good option. While making arrangements for music like for DJ’s, it should be made sure that it is charged per instrument and equipments. Apart from all the arrangements, most important thing that needs to be ensured is the rules and local laws, like in some residential areas late night events are not allowed.

Men’s Wedding Shoes Trends for 2010
Shoes are a very important and essential part of your whole attire but some of us never pay attention to it. To complete a personality with a proper dress one needs a pair of matching shoes.
No matter if it is an Indian wedding or a Destination wedding, shoes have to be selected so that the groom can match the bride in front of many guests.

While organizing a wedding, men usually don’t give much importance to their shoes, having several reasons for that. Well, wedding shoes does provide a finishing touch to your personality and compliments the wedding dress. While buying shoes you should keep in mind the attire of the Indian wedding you will be wearing and choose accordingly.

If you are planning your wedding as a simple black tie wedding, the only thing you wear is a tuxedo and along with it you should wear a nice black shoe. The shoes should be well polished and comfortable according to your fitting and if you find it difficult to polish the shoes then its better to hire a professional.

Weddings in different locations are becoming a lot popular these days by the name of Destination weddings. Being in the open doesn’t mean that you can compromise on your footwear, if it is a beach wedding then you can go with a pair of Vans or Converse Chuck Taylors, and have a good time.

While in jeans you can wear shoes of almost any color or style but avoid very shiny shoes, as they are more of a party wear. In case of casual pants, you can wear any of the Loafer’s or the oxfords that goes well with the color of your dress. While in dress pants, select a shoe that can match with your suit well. That can be of the same color or much darker than your pants or if you are wearing a belt then choose a shoe according to the belt. As wedding shoes, mostly leather shoes are preferred. While, white or brown shoes can be an option for you if it is a daytime wedding. Sneakers are definitely avoided during a wedding.

Women’s Wedding Shoes Trends
Planning how to dress yourself for your wedding is an important part of the wedding plans, especially in the bride’s case. Wedding shoes are usually one of the last details to be considered, and most brides invest more time and effort in the choice of the perfect wedding dress, their hair, and other things. Earlier, when long wedding dresses were in fashion, no one cared what you are wearing as your shoes. But since this year mini wedding dresses are in fashion. You have to wear wedding shoes that go along with your whole ensemble.

With numerous options in bridal shoes such as pumps, slingbacks, sandals and stilettos in different styles and colors, selecting the perfect wedding shoe along with your wedding dress is a daunting task. At times, the brides are dressed up in beautiful wedding clothes but forget considering their wedding shoes and land up wearing something unattractive or unmatched. In order to prevent you from committing such blunders we have some tips for the bride’s wedding shoes for 2010. The trend this season is of more sexy and feminine looking shoes, that looks sensual while you walk down the aisle.

Every season there is a change in the trend and this year we the retro look is in rage. To be inline with this theme you should choose shoes with delicate accents, feminine traces to get this look. Designers are also adding adornments like artificial stones, laces, hearts, butterflies and feathers to the bridal wedding shoes, which are in vogue this year. In summers, the mini wedding dress provides a casual look, so you should opt for sandals, sky-high heels, woven uppers, summer booties, wedges, and even flip-flops. Opt for open toe wedding shoes for beach wedding, which also give you a good comfort level.

To select a bizarre color for your wedding shoes is a bad idea. The silver colored shoes are also favourites for wedding occasions this year, as they display class and elegance while being formal. White being a shiny color is always preferred for the brides. The shade might vary from satiny white to plain white and it looks more stunning with diamonds studs or white beaded with gems. You can seek help of professional shoe designers to getting the most exquisite pair of wedding shoes within your wedding budget.

The key to become the star of your wedding night is that the dress that you select as well as the shoes should be in line with the latest trend while suiting your personality. Don’t be one of those brides who spends a lot on her dress without thinking about her shoes, as. your dress might lose its charm without a nice pair of shoes to complement it!

Diet Plan for Bride and Groom Before Wedding

It’s natural for any bride/groom to want to look gorgeous on their wedding, which most certainly is the most important day of their life. If your wedding is slated for this year and you too want to get in shape to add that ‘wow’ factor to yourself, then make a pre-wedding diet plan a part of your wedding plans. It is a great and popular option, which many new age to-be-wedded couples are resorting to look their ravishing best in the wedding ceremonies and of course, in the wedding pics.

Getting in shape is not a day’s work, so your planning must begin months before the wedding. Just like assembling the perfect trousseau can take months, getting in perfect shape may also take months. Last minute dieting may make you lose 20kgs but it has its own flip side. Most people who crash diet to lose weight complain of powerlessness and weakness. That’s why it is never advisable to skip a meal. It just makes the body store food and lowers the metabolism rate of the body.

When on a diet, the idea is to cut down on the excessive calorie intake. A daily intake of 1,800 calories for men and 1,600 calories for women each day is a decent target. These are spread over a number of small meals over the day. The three main meals of the day remains breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Being the first meal of the day, your breakfast is a very important meal of the day. It needs to pack in all the energy that you need to kick start your day. A good breakfast should comprise of protein and hi-fiber carbohydrates. A breakfast of egg whites along with brown bread and fresh fruit, like apples or berries is a great way to begin your day. Avoid sugar and starch based foods like biscuits, cakes and doughnut, since they are very high in calories.

Lunch, must spell complete nutrition without the extra calories. An ideal lunch for a bride/groom-to-be should be high in protein and low in carbohydrates. High protein food options for lunch may vary from grilled chicken and fish to low-fat tofu, lentils and beans. These coupled with high fiber foods like salad and brown rice or whole grain pasta and fruit make for a well balanced lunch that will keep you active for the maximum part of the day.

The dinner needs to be light and very low in calories. At that time of the day you do not need much energy, as you are about to retire to bed soon after. The body needs very few calories while sleeping. So, you are advised to keep the dinner light with salads or soups with grilled chicken or vegetables like spinach, all in small calculated portions. White breads, polished rice and desserts are a total no-no and need to be steered clear of.

For snacking, the diet plan allows you to munch on fruit like apples, berries, oranges, papaya and grapefruit; nuts like almonds and flax seed; roasted chickpeas and salads.

To complement this diet plan, regular mild exercising is suggested. It is seen to work wonderfully well when combined with mild exercises like walking or cycling. If both, the bride and the groom do this bit together, it could help in keeping the motivational levels high. Exercising becomes fun when trying to lose weight along with your partner. You can plan this while planning your wedding; a wedding is a celebration of togetherness after all!

What Is Service Design? How To Implement Service Design Processes

It’s easy to think of design in terms of tangible objects, like a smartphone or a chair, or in terms of digital products, like a website or an app.

But what about those experiences we can’t touch or see?

This is where service design comes in. Just like UX, service design is all about creating a first-class experience for the customer — whether they’re buying a coffee, going for a beauty treatment or using public transport.

Let’s take a closer look at what service design is and the processes involved.

What is service design?

The main difference between service design and product design is that services are intangible. Essentially, a service designer tries to make a company’s services better than its competitors by following a service design methodology. The aim is to improve how the service works in order to improve the customer experience.

Take your favourite coffee shop.

There are probably other coffee shops you could go to, so what makes you choose this one? Perhaps you enjoy the friendly service, the smiley face on the receipt, the fact that they use fair trade coffee beans, or the plugs they have to power your phone. It might just be something small, like you never have cash on you and one doesn’t take your card.

Well, that’s service design in a nutshell!

Wikipedia explains it like this: Service design is the activity of planning and organizing people, infrastructure, communication and material components of a service in order to improve its quality and the interaction between the service provider and its customers. Service design may function as a way to inform changes to an existing service or create a new service entirely.

Service design: Consistent vs. unique experiences

Companies like Starbucks and McDonald’s go to great lengths to make sure you experience the same service from San Francisco to Saint Petersburg.

Fast forward and times change. Today’s customers are looking for unique experiences, which throws up a whole host of opportunities and challenges. The hotel industry has definitely felt the impact of Airbnb, and traditional hotels are now striving to create unique experiences or unique rooms to win back their customers.

Of course, companies still face the ultimate challenge (and cost!) of delivering a unique experience on a mass scale.

The four approaches to customization

Source: Harvard Business Review

Apple is a great example of outstanding service design.

Have a problem with your iPhone? Just go to the genius bar and they will help you fix it and get it back up and running for you.

It’s personal, builds the brand and generates loyalty. As a customer, knowing that if anything goes wrong you can quickly get it solved is a huge benefit.

The service design process is similar to UX!

Designers seek to understand the needs and desires of the people who will use a product or service by spending time with them. This approach ensures solutions are both fit for purpose and desirable to the people who will use them. By focusing on human stories and insights, designers build empathy for users, and ensure that the ideas they develop are wholly relevant.

Here is an overview of a typical service design methodology:

  • Framing: Get your objectives and outcomes for the project and determine how you will measure your success. Use this template from Service Design Toolkit.
  • User insights: From surveys and interviews to user shadowing, you need to get some qualitative data from people. A key aspect of this is asking unbiased questions that get to the bottom of your service design challenge.
  • Personas: The persona you build is made up from the research of user insights and data from any customer information you have. It can help you to recognise that various individuals have different demands, behaviours and assumptions, and it can also help you to identify with the individual you’re designing for.Remember:Creating a business for everyone, creates a business for no one!Your persona helps you to come up with ideas and set up experiences to appeal to a specific target group. Check out this guide.
  • Ideation: Using the information that came up in the research phase: what ideas / hypotheses have emerged that are worth exploring further?Working in a group and spending time on this section pays off. Having thinking time is underrated in today’s world.Another common failing is to study the competition. Don’t study the competition, study the winners in other industries and draw ideas from a wide range of sources
  • Service blueprint: The service plan is a strategy originally used for service design and advancement, but has additionally found applications in identifying problems with operational effectiveness. The method was first described by G. Lynn Shostack, a bank exec, in the Harvard Business Review in 1984.A service blueprint is different from a customer journey map. A blueprint works on the business back-end on how a service works, how it will be delivered and where it fits into the customer experience.
  • Prototype and test: Validate with prototyping, and be aware of biases that might be introduced into this part of the project. Different factors affect the prototypes: people (not limited to the customer, including yourself, the business owner and staff), location and timing.Have a list of what to observe and what is important to gather in the testing. The main priority is getting out there and trying things out.

Service design examples

Let’s bring to life the service design which is all around us with some real-world examples.

Organ donation

If you live in an ‘opt-in’ country, then people have to take the time to actively register to donate their organs. The ‘opt-in rate’ is always a struggle for countries to meet and requires heavy marketing and an army of volunteers to remind people. The intent from people is that it’s “something they’ll get around to doing” — but we all know the outcome of that.

Social psychologists Shai Davidai, Tom Gilovich, and Lee Ross set out to understand the psychology behind these different organ donation rates.

In Austria, your organs are donated unless you ‘opt-out’. 90% of the population are registered organ donors.

The average for an opt-in country is 15%. That’s a huge difference!
