But who can blame the members? All that the library has to offer is currently available on-line any way. what about “Genealogy Libraries” ? Our Stake Library is basically going Unused and is so empty that we the assigned workers are getting discouraged. My husband and I are in our mid seventies, and we and most of our friends of the same age use the computer a lot. I’ll bet you’re among the very small minority! I’m 79, my wife 76 and we use the computer everyday for, among other things, doing Indexing for Family Search. You both would be surprised as to how many of us older people are computer literate. I still have one from over 20 years ago and it’s a fond memory to think of those sisters. It would list the Day and Month of the birthday as well. Our RS would make one ever few years of those names who wanted to be on a list. I really miss our physical Ward Directory. I agree that there are some older folks who don’t feel comfortable with or have access to a computer. However, even if paper directories aren’t widely distributed, it’s wise to have important phone numbers written down in case of emergency.īut there are still a lot of older people who are not computer literate. If your ward is still holding on to the printed directory, it will likely have stopped in five years. Online ward directories have been accessible online for years, both via LDS.org and through the LDS Tools mobile app. In five years, this process will likely have progressed to the point that printed lesson manuals remain on hand for emergencies only. Some wards are slowly phasing out the distribution of printed materials, while others distribute them only by request. With all Church lesson manuals and many resources available on LDS.org, the need for physical lesson books is decreasing in areas with readily available Internet access. They also have the Gospel Library app downloaded for gospel study and teaching resources. The iPads distributed to full-time missionaries include an app called Area Book Planner, where missionaries can plan their time and record investigators’ progress. However, both of those physical record books are being replaced by iPad apps - at least in certain missions. Missionaries’ area booksįor years, full-time missionaries used physical day planners and paper area books to make plans, record investigators’ progress and create reports. However, by 2020 we predict, most unit leaders will be able to organize callings make home and visiting teaching assignments manage budgets, income and expenses make and submit reports and more without setting foot in a Church building to do so - some leaders already have access to the online-only option. However, the software is now being made available as a web-based application. The transition from “MLS Classic” (the software) to “MLS Web” (the web-based application) began in 2011 and is still in process. However, leaders usually had to go to a Church building to use the software in the ward clerk’s office. Ward and stake leaders have used Member and Leader Services software to administer their callings for years. Member and Leader Services (MLS) in Clerk’s offices Though members still have the option of hand delivering physical receipts and payment to their local priesthood leaders, in five years, most Church members in the United States will be handing it all online. In five years, many Church members - at least in the United States - won’t have to find a little white slip outside the bishop’s office to pay tithing. The Church has approved a website for online payment of tithing and other charitable donations, which is being rolled out to congregations in the U.S. In the 20 years since that statement, the Church has continued to develop technology to hasten the work of salvation and to simplify processes for Church members. Here are five Church resources we predict will be obsolete by 2020. However, we stand only on the threshold of what we can do with these tools.” Hunter (who was president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time) wrote in the Ensign, “The role of technology in this work has been accelerated by the Lord himself, who has had a guiding hand in its development and will continue to do so.

However, just scrolling through the list of what you have to offer leaves you sounding like every other broker. We also agree the non-insurance solutions in your capabilities binder are essential. You should be competing based on your ability to develop a strategy that will help moving forward. The spreadsheet is simply a lagging indicator (yes, I know underwriters are predicting future claims) of what has already happened. THIS is what should be discussed during the sales process. However, what is way more important than the price on the spreadsheet is an adviser’s ability to put together an overall cost control strategy. We’ve already agreed, price is important. Who do you think taught them that?!Īdvisers whose value proposition is limited to the price of the insurance product and fixing stuff when it breaks are effectively saying, “Hire me because I can meet the minimum expectations better than your current guy/gal.” The most hypocritical of all are “spreadsheeters,” who are offended when a client asks other brokers to quote at renewal. This happens because you train clients on how to buy based on the way you sell to them in the first place. Here’s the reality of client attraction and retention. You will lose every account the same way you won it. It does happen, just not often enough.ĭon’t find a false sense of security from those occasional wins. And, just maybe, you were an early adopter for that very solution an employer wants but hasn’t yet been offered. You may even catch the incumbent asleep at the service wheel and pick up an account that way from time to time. Sure, you will occasionally win with the spreadsheet when going against a way-too-traditional broker. If you don’t have the tools, don’t even bother showing up for the job. Guess what? In today’s benefits’ world, that list of stuff is now part of the minimum expectations. See also: Will COVID-19 Spur Life Insurance Sales? They accumulate a long list of “value-added services” (we prefer to call them non-insurance solutions) and drone on and on about all the extra stuff they provide their clients. Some try to use a capabilities presentation as a tie-breaker. The owner would fire the adviser because he wasn’t even meeting the minimum expectations. No doubt, the owner would fire the adviser in a heartbeat. If a business owner was working with an adviser who wasn’t able to handle the renewal effectively or who didn’t provide good service, what do you think the owner would do? Once again, isn’t this just another minimum expectation a business owner has of an adviser? Don’t they expect you to fix problems, advocate on their behalf and respond quickly? Now, let’s talk about the “we retain on service” declaration. The “runner” in our game is the incumbent broker who will almost always win the spreadsheet game. This is why close ratios and new business volumes in most instances are way too low.Īt least when it comes to fully insured plans, isn’t getting quotes one of the most basic tasks a broker does? By “basic,” I don’t necessarily mean it’s easy, but being able to get quotes and negotiate the renewal is, undoubtedly, a minimum expectation that business owners have of their adviser. By admittedly competing on price, brokers/advisers never give themselves a fair shot at earning new business. With precious few exceptions, brokers have access to the same carriers, same plan designs and same prices. Price is always a factor however, in most instances in this industry it is the level playing ground. Yet, they don’t take the time to build a sales process that takes the decision away from price alone. The fact they even make this statement is a sign they know price alone isn’t enough. When discussing acquisition strategy with producers, I’ll often hear them say, “Yeah, we compete on price, but we retain on service.” Sort of make an idiot out of yourself, essentially, but to be okay with that.It is no longer enough to show up with a fancy spreadsheet, promises of better service and a capabilities presentation. One of the first exercises we did in acting class my freshman year was to stand in two rows, two lines facing each other as a class, and just make sounds and move in some completely nonsensical way out into the center of the room. I should also note that these figures will be going up for pre-order today globally. Like all Hasbro’s collectible helmets/masks it looks terrific but way out of my price range. Then finally we have the helmet which is the Iron Spider Mask. Though these aren’t up for pre-order but will be at an unspecified time in the near future. I should note that they also revealed a Captain Britain-themed three-pack, a Shield Agent two-pack, a Skrull Soldier, and a Walmart exclusive Far From Home Spider-Man with an interchangeable unmasked Tom Holland head. I also do wonder if we’ll see a Spider-Man wave based on the Sam Raimi films as the first one is twenty years old next year! I know fans like myself have been waiting for a Miles Morales Spider-Man from the recent game and I do wonder if we’ll get him in the suit with the cat in the backpack, that would be awesome! I do wonder what the Multiverse of Madness wave Doctor Strange will be like.Īlso as I had stated before the likeness to J.K Simmons is incredible. I’ve been wanting a new Marvel Legends MCU Doctor Strange as I missed out on the three-pack one so I have been eagerly anticipating this one! The head sculpt looks fantastic and exactly how he appears in the film and I love the new magic effect pieces which are attached to a pair of hands. Designed by Eamon O'Donoghue, sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios In Shops: Mar 11, 2020. Includes interchangeable hands, head, and web accessories. Also, it should be noted that the BAF is a comic-based one and he’s called Armadillo and I have never heard of him before but I won’t deny that his figure looks fantastic. The Marvel Select line expands into the gamerverse with this 7-inch scale action figure of Spider-Man as he appears in his eponymous game for the PS4. I am not all too familiar with the last two characters. The other figures in the wave are Miles Morales Spider-Man from the Spider-Man Miles Morales video game, Shriek, and Morlun. They first showed off a few figures from this wave a few months ago which were two different iterations of the Spider Suits which are the Integrated Suit and the Black and Gold Suit, J. This wave was just revealed just after the trailer for No Way Home was released and it was a fantastic trailer that showed some great surprises in store (and of course didn’t reveal anything too big) and this wave is pretty much spoiler-free. Just yesterday during Hasbro’s Marvel Legends streaming event they revealed the full lineup of Spider-Man No Way Home Collectibles which includes the Marvel Legends Wave as well as a collectible helmet.

An update in December 2016 introduced "Custom Training" sequences that can be created by players and shared with others on the same platform players are able to specify the ball's path and the presence and skill of opponents on the field as to practice specific shots-on-goal over and over. The game includes a single-player "season" mode, with the player competing with computer-controlled players. The latter serves as Rocket League 's competitive online mode, where players compete in various tiered ranks within game seasons, with victories or losses raising or lowering a player's rank, respectively. Matches can be played from between one-on-one up to four-on-four players, as well as in casual and ranked playlists. Matches are usually five minutes long, with a sudden death overtime if the game is tied at that point. Players can also perform quick dodges, causing their car to do a short jump and spin in a given direction, which can be used to nudge the ball or gain positioning advantage over the other team. Players can alter their car's orientation while midair, which combined with midair boosting allows for controlled flight. A player may also use a boost when in the air to propel themselves forward in flight, allowing players to hit the ball in the air. The players can also pick up a speed boost by passing their cars over marked spaces on the field, enabling them to quickly cross the field, use the added momentum to hit the ball, or ram into another player's car to destroy it in the latter case, the destroyed car respawns moments later on their team's side of the field. Players' cars have the ability to jump to hit the ball while in mid-air. Players control a rocket-powered car and use it to hit a ball that is much larger than the cars towards the other team's goal area to score goals, in a way that resembles indoor soccer, with elements reminiscent of a demolition derby. Rocket League 's gameplay is largely the same as that of its predecessor, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. Gameplay in Rocket League, where players aim to hit the ball into the opposing team's goal using their rocket-powered cars Rocket League has also been adopted as an esport, with professional players participating through ESL and Major League Gaming along with Psyonix's own Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS). The game earned a number of industry awards, and saw over 10 million sales and 40 million players by the beginning of 2018. Rocket League was praised for its gameplay improvements over Battle-Cars, as well as its graphics and overall presentation, although some criticism was directed towards the game's physics engine. Psyonix also recognized their lack of marketing from Battle-Cars and engaged in both social media and promotions to market the game, including offering the game for free for PlayStation Plus members on release. Psyonix began formal development of Rocket League around 2013, refining the gameplay from Battle-Cars to address criticism and fan input. Psyonix continued to support themselves through contract development work for other studios while looking to develop a sequel. Battle-Cars received mixed reviews and was not a success, but gained a loyal fan base. Rocket League is a sequel to Psyonix's Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, a 2008 video game for the PlayStation 3. Later updates for the game enabled the ability to modify core rules and added new game modes, including ones based on ice hockey and basketball. The game includes single-player and multiplayer modes that can be played both locally and online, including cross-platform play between all versions. The game went free-to-play in September 2020.ĭescribed as "soccer, but with rocket-powered cars", Rocket League has up to eight players assigned to each of the two teams, using rocket-powered vehicles to hit a ball into their opponent's goal and score points over the course of a match. Versions for macOS and Linux were also released in 2016, but support for their online services was dropped in 2020. Interactive Entertainment taking over those duties by the end of 2017. In June 2016, 505 Games began distributing a physical retail version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with Warner Bros. The game was first released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 in July 2015, with ports for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch being released later on.

The playable characters are covert operatives conducting black operations behind enemy lines. The player assumes the role of various characters during the single-player campaign, changing perspectives throughout the story. Among the weapons new to the series in Black Ops are crossbows with bolts and explosive ammunition, Dragon's Breath rounds and ballistic knives.Ī screenshot of Alex Mason firing a SPAS-12 Dragon's Breath round When the character is within the blast radius of a live grenade, an on-screen marker indicates where it is in relation to the player, helping the player to move away or to throw it back. The screen glows red to indicate damage to a player's health, which regenerates over time. The player can drop to the prone stance from the standing stance while running (colloquially known as "dolphin diving"), and can momentarily sprint before having to stop. Each affects the rate of movement, accuracy, and stealth. A character can take three stances: standing, crouching, or prone. A player close enough to an enemy can kill with one knife blow. The player assumes the role of a foot soldier who can wield various firearms (only two of which can be carried at once), throw grenades and other explosives, and use other equipment as weapons. īlack Ops is a first-person shooter, retaining the same gameplay mechanics as previous Call of Duty titles. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, set between Black Ops and Black Ops II, was released on November 13, 2020. Four sequels, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, were released in November 2012, November 2015, and October 2018, respectively. On August 3, 2011, Activision confirmed that the game had sold over 25 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling games of all time. After six weeks on release, Activision reported that Black Ops had exceeded $1 billion in sales. and 1.4 million in the UK, breaking the record set by its predecessor Modern Warfare 2 by some 2.3 million copies. Within 24 hours of going on sale, the game had sold more than 5.6 million copies, 4.2 million in the U.S. The game received generally positive reviews from critics with praise for its story, voice-acting, and multiplayer modes, although some criticized it for its lack of innovation, linear gameplay, and technical issues. Multiple trailers promoting the game and its modes were released from May until October. The marketing of the game began in April 2010. Music was composed by Sean Murray, with music by The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eminem, and Avenged Sevenfold appearing in the game. Different teams within the company focused on a certain game mode. Treyarch focused specifically on Black Ops during development they were developing two games at once while making World at War. The improvements made allowed for bigger campaign levels to be made as well as enhanced lighting. It runs an enhanced version of the IW 3.0 engine used in Treyarch's past title, World at War. A form of virtual currency, COD Points, allows players to purchase weapons and customization options for their in-game character, as well as attachments and customization options for their weapon.ĭevelopment for the game began in 2009. Improvements to loadout options and killstreak rewards are made. The multiplayer of Black Ops features multiple objective-based game modes that are playable on 14 different maps included with the game. Locations featured in the game include Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, the Soviet Union, the United States, Hong Kong, and the Arctic Circle. Mason and CIA operative Jason Hudson are the game's main playable characters, as well as Red Army soldier Viktor Reznov in one mission. This station is due to transmit broadcasts to sleeper agents who are bound to use chemical weapons across the United States. Set in the 1960s during the Cold War, the game's campaign follows CIA operative Alex Mason as he attempts to recall certain memories in combat in order to locate a numbers station. It serves as the sequel to Call of Duty: World at War. It is the seventh title in the Call of Duty series and the third to be developed by Treyarch. Aspyr later released the game for OS X in September 2012. It was released worldwide in November 2010 for Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360, with a separate version for Nintendo DS developed by n-Space. |
