22 expert opinions on UI design trends for 2017
Please note, there is a more up-to-date version of this article here: 10 UX design trends to watch in 2020.
Opinions ain't worth jack and a good UI is based on solid user research, not an ability to copy experts. So why the hell do we do these things?
We don't gather the opinions from the brightest so you can copy and paste (really, don't)—we gather them as an exercise in critical thinking.
We take all the hype. All the trends. All the technology. Then we get some of the most experienced and skilled professionals we know to tear apart, rebuild and connect them.
This achieves a few things:
- It stimulates discussion about the general direction of the industry. For example, this series exposes a wave of new jargon… now we get to discuss whether that's a good thing.
- It exposes previously hidden connections, encouraging new approaches to experimentation and problem-solving.
- It exposes recurring themes in topical concepts, showing potential weaknesses or strengths.
- It encourages us to focus on practical applications for trending technologies, rather than getting carried away by their shininess.
The one thing these UX expert opinions will not do is predict the future… unless… maybe if we got Rasputin to throw us a bone from the other side.
So, without further ado, get your critical thinking hats on and ruminate with our experts about the latest UI design trends!
"Walking away from in-app walkthroughs"
Lisa Baskett, Experience Architect, AustinCSI
"As 2017 progresses, I predict we'll see more and more UI designers adopting streamlined approaches to user onboarding for mobile apps.
In the past, many apps have relied too heavily on giving the user multi-screen onboarding walkthroughs and tutorials to explain the various features and interactions. The problem with this is three-fold. First, if an app requires elaborate explanation upfront, then the designer should probably rethink the user flow. Second, walkthrough instructions are easily forgotten, so the user is either forced to go back to it or remember during use therefore increasing their cognitive load. Definitely not something you want in a mobile use context. Third, many users skip walkthroughs altogether. Users would rather figure out how an app works for themselves. If the app design does not allow for them to do that easily, they will simply stop using it.
Removing walkthroughs leaves UI designers with the dilemma of how to communicate instructions, since much of the interaction of modern apps relies on gestures, and they are by nature hidden. There are a couple of very effective ways to achieve this.
1.) Gesture hinting: As with putting navigation behind icons or a hamburger menu, gesture interactions are hidden from the user. Adding contextual instruction—through animations showing the intended action and/or explicit text labels which appear briefly, only at the point of interaction—shows users the action that's expected, without cluttering the interface.
2.) Progressive disclosure: For apps with more complexity, progressive disclosure of content breaks up instructions that might have appeared in the walkthrough. Also, content is displayed only for the first-time use of a feature, at the point of interaction.
The advantage of both of these approaches is that they improve usability by giving instruction in context, thus maintaining the user's focus on the task at hand."
"Less Apple every day keeps the doctor away"
Joel Marsh, Experience Architect & Author of UX For Beginners, The Hipper Element
"I predict that 2017 trends will basically be the anti-Apple. And I don't mean Google Material Design.
Since iOS7 came out a few years ago, Apple has been leading us through a phase of ultra-minimal, flat, white, thin-font convergence. Everybody has been trying to look like that and succeeding. But Apple is losing its sense of design leadership among designers, and there is nobody to take its place, so divergence will be the reaction.
We are seeing many companies simplify their apps to look black and white, while reserving color for special cases. I think we're going to start growing out of that by the end of 2017.
I think the biggest difference will be typography. We will see more heavy typography (i.e. fat fonts), more serifs, and I think the bolder designers might even get into high-contrast sans serifs, like Optima (but probably not Optima). In fashion, that is already happening.
Minimalism won't go away, but a lot more people will be designing in black (as a reaction to Apple's pure white), and we might even see branding (i.e. style) play more of a role.
I am also seeing more people using shadows and subtle touches of 'realism', to make their designs easier to understand—like buttons that have some depth or 'layered' interfaces. Skeuomorphism won't come back, but people are starting to realise that flat design has weaknesses of its own. I think we will start to settle into something between 'flat' and 'real'.
And—although I don't think it will happen—I continue to *hope* that designers will start making their interfaces more original, instead of copying each other.
In short, I think the world is preparing to break out of Apple's shadow, and I expect that to create some diversity in UI design, in general."
"The rise of three-letter acronyms will start feeling a lot like a four-letter word"
Conor Ward, Head of UX & Design, British Gas
"My strong feeling is that UI is about to change in a big way—and it's all down to AI.
UI is about to revert back to its original meaning this year of a 'user interface'.
Brace yourselves for a lot of three-letter acronyms (TLAs).
In recent times, UI has become synonymous with graphical user interface (GUI). Designers calling themselves UI designers and interaction designers. When, in fact, they are really mostly GUI designers.
2017 is the year when UI returns in its true meaning, for those of us in the technology world—i.e. any type of human-computer interaction (HCI), including VUI (voice user interface), TUI (standard DTMF relay telephone user interface), GUI . This could also include new types of TUI (tangible user interfaces) such as haptic feedback and VR (virtual reality). And we can't forget the ever-elusive zero UI (ZUI?), which is often confused with these other types of UI.
Therefore, following that raft of TLAs, my prediction for 2017 is that AI will move us towards a zero UI environment—through rapid, contextual, personalised and smart anticipatory experience design.
For the most part, we will of course not reach Zero UI when creating our experiences this year. Some sort of interaction with our systems is still needed.
We will simply reduce our reliance on GUI design and replace it with less content, less GUI mess to wade through. Instead, we'll craft a smarter and more human form of communication, wherever possible.
Thus achieving our ultimate goal as interaction designers—to create the least amount of human interaction possible with our systems, allowing our users to achieve their goals in the real world.
In a nutshell, let's all work hard to get out of our users' way in 2017 and help them achieve more with less effort."
"The paradox of choice"
Sarah Doody, User Experience Designer and Product Strategist. Founder, The UX Notebook
"2017 will be a year when we focus on user choice.
The challenge with choice is it often introduces complexity, resulting in a cluttered interface. However, as products get smarter, they can begin to make decisions on behalf of (and with the permission of) the user—thereby minimising the number of choices. This is powerful because tasks that users once avoided, will now be achieved with ease, thanks to anticipatory and automated experiences.
For example, Digit is an app that helps you save money by automatically pulling money from your checking account to a savings account—based on what it thinks you can afford to save. This automatic saving makes it easy for the user because the decision is made for them. But, users can interact with Digit via text messages and it will send back your monthly savings. Or you can tell it to save less or save more. The balance with choice is that we can't make decisions on behalf of people, without giving them enough control to reverse those decisions."
"Flat design will be roundly rejected"
Paul Randall, Senior UX Architect, Evosite
"In 2017, I believe flat design will have found it's breaking point.
Expect to see UI elements becoming 'simpler but more obvious' to the end user, with a continued focus on affordance. This is why mobile-first design has become so popular—it forces you to focus on the key functionality of the site and avoid cluttering up the screen as you increase the breakpoints!
Finally, one of the forms of content which probably doesn't get the attention it deserves is original photography. It makes such a difference to how someone perceives your site. Avoid using stock photos (especially clichéd imagery) wherever possible."
"The machines are coming… but they'll be a while"
Kurt Henderson, Chief Product Officer, Startup Kompas
"2017, from my perspective, will be more about the biggest and upcoming technology—machine learning and artificial intelligence.
It will shape the landscape of UI and UX, the same way we saw Google's material design invade every Android app. Although these topics are popular, advances in the industries will be slow—as they're still maturing and need time for any potential to materialise.
Once conventions are formed concerning the less granular elements of UI/UX, these topics will become more integral notions. In 2017, foundations will be laid—like we're already seeing with the likes of Google DeepMind."
"Tackling the difficulty of achieving simplicity"
Rob Whiting, Head of Product Design, The Spencer Group
"A key UI design trend for 2017 will be a move towards simplified, focused user interfaces.
Virtual and augmented reality UI, and conversational, natural language interfaces lend themselves to this goal. I think this will become more pronounced in the design of graphical user interfaces.
I don't think things will go as far as the brutalist website trend – take a look at brutalistwebsites.com for some great examples—but they will follow this style of subdued colours, large, easy-to-read typography and simple, task-focused interactions.
2017 will be the year when those involved in UI design will see how difficult it is to achieve simplicity. Interesting times to be involved in UX ツ"
"Looking beyond the (smoke)screen to find deeper interactions"
Jonathan Lupo, VP of Experience Design, EPAM
"When it comes to design, we must be careful not to be influenced too much by what's 'trendy'.
We must, rather, pay close attention to core brand values, as well as service promises and propositions being delivered to customers. Additionally, the brand likely has an established visual and experience language which need to be followed, to provide a consistent experience to across customer touchpoints.
That being said, it is important for designers to understand what digital tactics and interaction paradigms are 'current and contemporary'. 'Being modern' is likely a goal for companies which are evolving their digital experiences.
Looking to the future, designers must think beyond the screen for interaction conventions—especially in relation to Internet of things (IoT) and immersive experience platforms.
Here are a few examples:
· In VR, designers must think about audio cues that enable users to feel more connected to the environment
· In AR/VR, designers must understand new navigation and interaction paradigms, like 'Air Tap' and 'Gaze' (which are gestures being introduced by Microsoft HoloLens)
· In IoT devices and AR/VR, designers need to expand upon natural language patterns for voice commands, which will become prevalent (as illustrated through Amazon Echo)
· In wearable tech, such as Apple Watch, knowing when to incorporate 'Force Touch' or '3D Touch' into digital experiences will enable greater potential for functionality, without cluttering screens.
· In autonomous transportation, providing intuitive alerts, smart driving assistance and information via the heads up display (without requiring the driver to lose total control), will become increasingly important.
In short, pay less attention to visual design trends du jour and more attention to the experience promised to customers by the brand. Understand the likely behaviors and tasks of consumers as they are empowered by new technologies."
"Bye bye, UI"
Andy Budd, Managing Director, Clearleft
"I think the biggest UI trend in 2017 will be the lack of UI—or at least the lack of a visible one.
It won't have escaped your attention that VUI (or voice user interface) was huge this Christmas. In fact, I suspect many of you either found an Amazon Echo under your tree or grabbed one in the sales.
Voice concierge services are only going to get more popular in 2017, with the roll out of Google Home. We may even see Apple wake from its 5-year slumber and join the party, with a slightly less shit version of Siri.
At the moment, the app or API eco-system is pretty small. But you can bet every large supermarket, bank, news outlet, and travel brand is working on its own voice strategy, to varying degrees of success. So expect a flood of new VUI products coming your way.
"A little more conversation, a little less action"
Zeina Farha, Head of UX, Somo
"Whether it takes the the form of chatbots, AI, voice assistants, or a combination of the above, the current trend in UI is simple, human conversation.
It wasn't long ago that the idea of talking to a robot or computer was a thing of Sci-Fi movies. But with rapid improvements in AI and voice recognition technology, this is quickly becoming a reality.
The appeal is obvious—handsfree completion of tasks when we would otherwise have to use a traditional interface, button, knob, dial, etc. This saves us time and provides immediate results.
Of course, this new frontier creates for designers different challenges—without screens, how do we present feedback to users in an easy-to-digest way? What is the right personality or tone of voice for our bot? How do we handle edge cases which we previously didn't consider? How do we make sure users don't accidentally order a dollhouse?
Combined with the rise of VR/AR/MR, the definition of UI is certainly going to be diverging and evolving, once again, in 2017."
"The power of words"
Chris Callaghan, UX and Optimisation Director, McCann Manchester
"I expect to see more emphasis on the power of words when creating interfaces. Not just images, buttons and aesthetically over-engineered dropdown lists… but meaningful and useful words.
We've had Siri for a while now, but I always feel like there's some sort of social barrier to talking to your device when out in public. However, with the likes of Xbox, Amazon Echo and the mics which are integrated into the PSVR headsets, voice commands will become more commonplace in the home, and possibly more comfortable to use in private.
With the buzz of chatbots, I'd hope to see us move away from visual or surface design (which the industry labels 'UI'), and get back to the core elements of user interface design—affordances, feedback, orientation, learnability, etc."
"Cut through the wireframe to enter the future"
Adam Babajee-Pycroft, Managing Director & Head of UX, Natural Interaction
"For over a decade, interaction designers have produced wireframes. This has been the default way to begin describing screen-based interactions. In fact, according to research by the Nielsen Norman Group (NNG), 90% of UX professionals produce wireframes 'often'.
In 2016, we saw the meteoric rise of Alexa—Amazon's voice controlled assistant. Unlike earlier versions of the technology, such as Apple's Siri, Alexa seems competent and capable. It makes far more sense to say 'Alexa, turn on the lights' than to unlock your smartphone, start the app and tap the button.
In 2017, we'll see voice become a mainstream interaction method. This means UXers will spend less time wireframing and instead rely on other methods. As a community, it's important that we use this opportunity to change how UX is perceived. User experience design is about improving interactions people have with organisations. It's our role to understand user behaviour and define the path which serves both the user and client. User testing everything we create, so we can validate our assumptions, remains important. Now, more than ever, we need to recognise the best solution may not be a traditional website or app."
"The era of the buddy bot"
Per Axbom, Designer, Writer and Coach, Axbom Innovation
"New relationships will be formed with chatbots, voice-controlled agents and data-powered assistants which act on our behalf.
This has the potential of bringing us even closer to those people we endearingly refer to as 'users'. Hence, the question every modern-day cyborg designer is pondering: Are we ready for this?
For now we must realize that each and every user is an individual, with all the quirks and emotions that this entails. Inadvertently using someone's middle name won't cut it anymore—you need to be on solid, buddy terms. What we build must not simply appeal to needs, but build trust in the form of a long-lasting friendship—and all the while never overstepping boundaries which we still have not defined."
"Breaking fads…"
Wouter de Bres, Director of Product Design, Degreed
"One trend I expect to see in 2017 is that our industry starts realising good design isn't about trends.
Good design is about making a user understand your product and how to interact with it. We've been all too eager to ride the UI trend train in the past years—with long shadows, flat UI, big shadows and gradients… not to mention the overly complicated Disney-film worthy animations.
Let's stop and think again—what problem is my design solving and which design solution fits this particular situation the best? Not saying digital design will ever be timeless… but I expect this year that our industry realises design isn't about trends, but about solving the user's problem."
"The app is dead, long live the app!"
Stef Ivanov, UX/UI Designer, StefIvanov.com
"Mobile Internet usage surpassed desktop for the first time in 2016 and this has affected us all.
Responsive and adaptive design has been around for ages, but I think 2017 will be the year we put it on another level. It's getting harder for brands to persuade users to download another app and this trend will continue. Recent research showed that the average American smartphone user downloads zero apps per month. Yep. Zero!
So what does it mean? I believe designers will start making mobile web apps look and feel like native ones. Progressive web apps are the future and they have to be designed to look perfect on social, messaging apps and all browsers.
Popular native apps will still be around for a while, of course—but they'll work as our main 'start' point. I'm expecting more and more brands to focus on building features and tools to integrate their products with the big players, rather than spending thousands on standalone apps. Smart UX is definitely becoming more important than impressive and beautiful UI. You want people to use your product, not just to admire it, right?"
"RIP traditional web design"
Edoardo Benedetto, Co-Founder and UX Architect and Experience Designer, Oval Money
"The end of traditional web design has come and 2017 will be a pivotal year. Web designers will need to become experience or service designers, rather than focusing only on UI.
Websites won't be able to get away with simply looking beautiful, without taking into account user experience. They will need to be designed around the user stories and experiences.
This will lead to websites that are truly responsive, and adapt to mobile and desktop smoothly.
Another huge trend will be animations within websites and apps. The types of animations will vary but the key will be the designer's use of animations to help users understand the product or service being sold by a company."
"Product-UX tag team"
Daniel Elizalde, Founder, Instructor and Author, techproductmanagement.com
"2017 will have a strong focus on voice-controlled devices and bigger adoption of virtual and augmented reality.
These technologies will enable more natural interactions between users and devices. On the flip side, they will create a new set of challenges for product people. As these interfaces gain traction, users will want them as the 'new normal'.
At some point, it becomes very hard for companies to support all possible form factors and interaction models (desktop, web, phone, tablet, watch, voice-activated, VR, etc). So it will become more important for product management and UX to understand use cases, and the technology or approach which best suits each use case."
"VR in the real world… Or are we?"
Sergi Arévalo, Lead UI/UX Designer, Justinmind
"2017 is definitely the year that VR will take off.
Lots of companies will invest in developing apps for VR gears this year, and this will open up opportunities around app usability.
Mixing mobile apps or games with VR could also provide interesting challenges around usability. It wouldn't be the first time that it's been tried but we're in the perfect moment right now.
It would be a great experience to design the UI and UX of a virtual world."
"Back to the future of information architecture"
Barry Briggs, Senior UX Architect, BBC
"I believe there will be a renewed interest in areas like information architecture (IA), as we realise how integral a solid IA is to conversational user interfaces (CUIs) that work well.
For most users of digital services and products, interactions have always been focused on visual interfaces. Although language has always played a key role in these UIs—in the form of headings, labels and other artefacts of IA—the whole interface is now language, meaning the role of information architects (and, potentially, newer professionals like UX writers) is likely to increase."
"Choosing our words carefully"
Fabricio Teixeira, UX Director at R/GA and Editor at uxdesign.cc
"Responsive Design is just an example of adjectives that become unnecessary over time.
We don't sell an experience as being 'intuitive' — we prove it through user testing and positive feedback from customers.
We spend less and less time arguing whether a piece of content should live 'above the fold' or 'below the fold'—the plethora of screen sizes we see today are making concepts like 'the fold' outdated.
Quickly, our vocabulary shifts and evolves to let us focus on new design challenges.
What words are you crossing out of your daily lexicon in 2017?
What new words will you be adding?"
"Experimenting with simplicity"
Stephen Perry, Holistic Designer (Industrial / Product / UX), Amazon
"This year looks to be one when we'll take simple statements and present them boldy, in a broken down, digestible and layered fashion.
Expect UIs to lean heavily on unashamed typography, laid over video backdrops and parallax effects. This means more information is displayed through a progressive reveal, rather than an all-in-one braindump (hint: you'll probably be scrolling more).
A movement away from baseline grid design to more experimental layouts will complement the layering of content. This, in combination with bold and bright colour palettes, will make for a fresher, as well as more optimistic and experimental year for UI design.
(All thoughts expressed here are my own and do not reflect or represent Amazon in any way.)"
"They took 'er jobs!"
Caio Braga, UX Designer and Editor, uxdesign.cc
"Design Automation is generally associated with the futuristic idea of artificial intelligence designing websites and apps. This might be still far from reality, but automation has started to happen in a much more subtle way.
A few examples? Sketch add-ons to bring real data to mockups or easily create several versions of a page; tools like Zeplin to create specs without a bloodbath; InVision integrations aiming for seamless collaboration; and the new kids on the block, Figma and Subform.
Think about how we were working 5 years ago and how these tiny workflow automation tools have completely changed our work dynamic today.
You can imagine how different things will be in 5 years."

MEDFORD – The Rogue Community College (RCC) Ospreys men's and women's soccer teams were in action Saturday, Oct. 20. The Osprey's men hosted the South Region's No. 1 ranked Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) and played well but gave up a penalty kick goal early on that was the difference as they fell 1-0. The Ospreys women ended their playoff hunt on the road when they fell 2-0 to Chemeketa Community College (CCC).
Ospreys Men
The Ospreys men (0-10-1, 0-9-0 NWAC) hoped to knock SWOCC (9-1-1, 7-1-1) out of first place in the South Region with a win; however, a foul just inside the box during the 9th minute allowed SWOCC striker, Joe Montero, a penalty kick that put SWOCC up 1-0.
Coming out in the second half, the Ospreys defense held strong. The offense had some quality looks at the goal but they were unable to score. The Ospreys lost 1-0. Goalkeeper Joel Witts played an amazing match with 11 saves, only giving up the penalty kick goal.
The Ospreys men play their final game of the season Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 1:30 p.m. when they travel to face Portland Community College (4-5-2, 3-3-2).
Ospreys Women
The Ospreys women (5-8-1, 4-6-1 NWAC) entered into the match against Chemeketa (3-12-1, 2-8-1) knowing they needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The day would not go the Ospreys' way as they gave up two goals and were unable to score, dropping the match 2-0.
The loss means the Ospreys women will not be able to earn enough points to move into 3rd place in the South Region and capture the final playoff spot.
The Ospreys women will play their final game of the season Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 1:30 p.m. when they host Portland Community College (7-7-1, 6-5-0) at U.S. Cellular Community Park, Field 14 in Medford.

Johns Hopkins University announced Thursday the NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament games it is hosting will be played without fans in attendance due to concerns around the coronavirus. It is believed to be the first major sporting event to do so in the U.S.
The National College Players Association late last week recommended "serious discussion" about holding games "without an audience present." The NCAA said earlier this week its winter postseason tournaments would go on as planned, but it had set up an advisory panel to evaluate daily and "make decisions accordingly."
Johns Hopkins: Tournament games played in empty arenas
Johns Hopkins is hosting the first two rounds of the men's Division III basketball tournament on Friday and Saturday. Penn State Harrisburg, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Yeshiva University are all playing at the site.
Late Thursday, the school announced those games will be played in front of empty arenas.
However, in light of Maryland's recently confirmed cases of COVID-19, and based on CDC guidance for large gatherings, we have determined that it is prudent to hold this tournament without spectators.
The school said the decision only applies to these games specifically. Other large events, including athletics, will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Game tickets can be refunded, the school said.
Maryland announced its first three diagnosed cases of COVID-19 earlier Thursday. Per the Washington Post, the individuals contracted it while traveling overseas and are being quarantined at home. They live in Montgomery County, an hour outside of Baltimore.
Yeshiva: Hotel canceled team's reservations
Yeshiva University, a private Orthodox Jewish school in New York, canceled classes through March 10 after a student tested positive. A professor also tested positive; the school recommended his students self-quarantine "until further notice."
Yeshiva coach Elliot Steinmetz said the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Pikesville canceled the team's reservation on Thursday due to concerns over COVID-19.
"I made it very clear to the hotel that it's discrimination," Steinmetz said, via the Associated Press. "I basically said to them: 'Do you have a checkbox on your website that says that you've been in an area with suspected coronavirus?' And they said no. So I said: 'Is it just for the guests of Yeshiva University?' And they said yes. I told them that that's called discrimination."
Josh Joseph, the university's senior vice president, told the AP the infected student is not a member of the team, has not participated in team events and has not been on campus since Feb. 27. He said the New York City Department of Health "cleared" the team to be at the tournament.
NCAA working on response to COVID-19
Conference tournaments at the Division I level are already underway throughout the country, with hundreds of students, team personnel and fans packed into arenas for up to five consecutive days.
The Atlantic 10 Conference and the America East Conference have suspended the pre- and postgame handshake line, substituting forearm bumps. One conference representative said the leagues are working extra hard to eliminate germs at game sites.
The Chicago State men's and women's basketball teams canceled games against Seattle University. The Seattle area has become an epicenter of the virus with 70 reported cases. Miami (Ohio) also canceled games in late January due to concerns over students who had recently traveled to China.
NCAA task 'like a Rubik's cube'
Carlos del Rio, a global health department chair at Emory University, is one of six on the advisory panel set up by the NCAA that will help determine how the organization moves forward with not only the men's and women's basketball tournaments, but competitions in hockey, wrestling, gymnastics, softball, baseball, track and field, and more.
Del Rio told the Washington Post the task the NCAA faces is "like a Rubik's cube" because it involves countless locations around the country. It will rely on local information and risk assessment to provide recommendations ranging from providing more hand sanitizer to the extreme of cancelations.

The North Carolina Disposal Initiative (NCDI), which was recently formed by Purdue Pharma L.P., Project Lazarus and Safe Kids North Carolina, is focusing on supporting medicine disposal and evaluating the effectiveness of prevention programs on opioid abuse and overdoses.
"Medicine disposal is a community-based activity and needs to be examined from the community level," Project Lazarus President and CEO Fred Wells Brason II said in a Purdue Pharma release. "Working with Purdue Pharma and Safe Kids NC, we will continue our work to educate North Carolina communities about the need to properly dispose of medicines and provide the resources for the proper disposal."
Funding from Purdue Pharma will allow Project Lazarus to provide permanent medication drop-offs at pharmacies, clinics and law enforcement facilities, the release said. Project Lazarus has already provided 80 medication drop boxes. An additional 35 drop boxes would be provided by the NCDI initiative.
"Nearly 54 percent of people misusing pain relievers got them from a friend or relative," Purdue Pharma Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Medical Affairs Gail Cawkwell said in the release. "Purdue Pharma is committed to supporting and funding initiatives that aim to improve public health outcomes by reducing the amount of medicine available for misuse and diversion. We're not walking away from this issue, and we believe if we work together with key stakeholders, we can start to make a difference."

It has taken the United Nations many years to reach the conclusion that I reached ten years ago: the people of the world must move away from fuels which when burnt emit large volumes of carbon dioxide. It seems odd to me that this simple and obvious statement has taken the UN many years to conclude, but obvious and universal truth can be hard to recognise, especially when the obvious conclusion of such truth requires people to change their behaviour.
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), reports that we have got to move from using fossil fuel quickly. There is no other choice. It has also agreed with another one of my conclusions, that carbon capture and storage will not provide sufficient emission reductions.
So in essence this means we should look to clean renewable technology (that is technology that does not require burning) such as solar water heating, photo voltaics and wind farms before we look to using fossil fuel. It is not rocket science, merely inconvenient and in some case marginally more expensive than fossil fuel, and in other cases less expensive than fossil fuel or nuclear energy, when the whole emission costs are taken into account.
The trouble with clean renewable energy is that if offers exactly the same product as dirty renewable energy but a cleaner version. There are changeover costs and the benefits to most are so long term that they are considered not worth having. Our great grandchildren may thank us for changing to clean renewable energy but we will probably not be around to receive their thanks and we will fool ourselves into believing either that the science is wrong or if it is proven to be right something will be invented to remedy the climate change that will otherwise happen. Something will not turn up. It is up to us to keep the environment in which we live safe and benign, no one else will do it.

Hey guys, I had accepted a scholarship to study Bachelor of Science/Arts and I'm not sure if I regret picking it because it might lower my chances on transferring to Speech Pathology instead of doing the Bachelor of Health Sciences. Currently stressing out on my decision does anyone know if it would be possible I could be allowed to transfer after one year to an applied science without doing the Bachelors of Health Science? Or any alternative pathway to accelerate the chances of transferring would be helpful ):

Man forcibly marries 19-yr-old, held
The Pant Nagar police, on Sunday, arrested a 43-year-old man for allegedly raping a19-year-old college student and marrying her against her will.mumbai Updated: Jul 05, 2011 01:41 IST
The Pant Nagar police, on Sunday, arrested a 43-year-old man for allegedly raping a19-year-old college student and marrying her against her will.
"The accused, Prahlad Lokhande, who is the president of the north-east district Congress Committee (Ward 128) in Kamraj Nagar in Ghatkopar, allegedly made an obscene MMS clip of the victim, which he used to threaten her to maintain physical relations with him," said SM Suryavanshi, senior inspector of Pant Nagar police station. He added that Lokhande also had a case of murder registered against him in 2006.
Lokhande, who was the employer and friend of the victim's father, took advantage of her financially weak background. "The victim's father was addicted to alcohol and Lokhande took advantage of this. He would pay for the liquor consumed by the father and developed a bond with him," said deputy commissioner of police ( zone 7) Sanjay Shintre.
The officer added that Lokhande would visit the victim's residence and also get gifts for her. In September 2010, Lokhande came to the victim's college and asked her to come with him to Bandra court to stand surety in a case against him. Lokhande, however, took the victim to a temple where he allegedly forcibly married her, said Suryavanshi. After three months, he took her to a lodge at Thane where he allegedly raped her and made the MMS.
After learning of the incident in June, the victim's family wrote to the police commissioner. Following the investigation, the police registered a complaint against Lokhande on Sunday night and arrested him.
Police said that Lokhande has already married twice before forcibly marrying the victim. Shintre said, "He has been arrested on charges of rape, marrying again during lifetime of husband or wife, printing or engraving defamatory matter and criminal intimidation."

Will you go through the looking glass with me?
I'd like to set up a little alternate-reality scenario, an exploration of two characters. Well, actually, an exploration of the subtextual messages delivered by two characters. They are very famous characters, probably the most famous characters in America today: George W. Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But remember, we are now on the other side of the looking glass. You must leave behind your beliefs, leave behind everything you've heard about these men and all that you'd normally think and feel about them. Don't worry, your beliefs are loyal and they will wait patiently for your return. No one will take them.
At the very top of our grand American economic structure sits George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States. He is charming, affable and bit of a goof sometimes. But he is eminently successful and he comes from one of the best families in America. He is so perfectly qualified for the job of president that he is now serving his second term.
Closer to home but also at the top of a vast economic structure, we have Arnold Schwarzenegger, a man equally qualified, though for a different role

TRUE OPINION: As more people publicly disclose accounts of child sexual abuse through the media, how does that affect adult survivors who may relive their own traumas, wonders True Crime News Weekly correspondent and child abuse survivor, Gary Johnston
A regular, dispiriting facet of modern life is the seemingly daily news highlighting past incidences of child sexual abuse and the consequent negative effect it has had on its now adult victims.
Revenge – known nowadays as 'closure' – seems to be an important component for many of these innocents, closure only apparently achieved when elderly men, no strangers to past ratbaggery they, are led away to jail, a venue which to no-one's regret, they'll almost certainly only leave horizontally, encased in a wooden box.
It's depressing to read and hugely traumatic for the victim, I get that. I get the concept of revenge too. Who wouldn't?
However, I don't want revenge. I never ever wanted that for my guy. I just never wanted to see him, or feel that sort of terror, ever again. And whilst it may well have provided me with mental scars that in their own peculiar way have shaped who I became, who I am, I refuse to accept that childhood sexual abuse has intractably defined me. I've got other scars, including one on my head where a drunken maniac hit me with a broken bottle and that wasn't a lot of fun either.
I'm lucky – I realise that. I don't lie awake at night, trying to come to terms with it, I don't drink excessively in order to drown the memory and can truly say I've never seen myself as anything other than unlucky that it happened, but more importantly lucky that for whatever reason, I've been able to accept the experience and the memory.
It was a lazy summer's day in the 1960s, The five-year-old me was fishing for baggy minnows at a pond in the east end of Glasgow. It's irrelevant to the story, but the pond has a name. Hogganfield Loch. A lovely spot, scenic, recommended. 'Fishing' might be talking it up a bit actually, because all you did was drag a small net around the perimeter, taking care to avoid the fag ends and condoms, whereby the minnows – small fish of various mongrel species – lamely surrendered themselves to a subsequently short but selfless life inside an old jam jar.
RELATED: "I'M SURPRISED THEY DON'T HAVE A CLASS CALLED PAEDOPHILIA!" Drunk man abuses Melbourne schoolgirls for not doing enough to prevent child abuse
Glasgow is known as a friendly city and such was the case that day, as an elderly chap was helping me out, showing me how to do it properly, relying no doubt on his many years of prior experience. I can't remember if I took him for an expert angler at the time or if he genuinely knew his fishing; I can barely recall any specific instructions he offered up, being as I was, too focused on the fact that whilst he showed off his net twirling prowess with the one hand, the other one was down my knee-length, school uniform serge shorts.
He was enjoying himself, the old boy, judging by his unconcealed grunting and profuse sweating. I'm pretty sure it was enjoyment, I guess it could have been relief, though and, I suppose, the distinction barely matters. In between the grunts and the sweats however, the guy continued to offer practical advice on the fishing front, his expert suggestions and recommendations mingling with regular spasms of muffled, heavy breathing, gasps and pants.
For the sake of decorum, I won't be too specific, it serves no purpose, but given that it went for some time – and felt much longer – I'm sure you can use your imagination to envisage how the situation transpired.
Terrifying, it was, hideous and terrifying. And I can say that categorically. It wasn't, in any way, fun. If I try – and to be honest I rarely do – I can still remember the feeling. Terror. Breath taking, heart stopping, terror. Just that.
He's probably dead now anyway, the old bastard. He seemed old then and it's nearly 50 years ago, so the chances are, he disappeared up a crematorium chimney long ago.
A horny old narcissistic, depraved predator who got his rocks off raping kids. I just got in the way of him. I don't feel guilty because there's nothing to feel guilty about. I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor, a survivor of this incident, in the same way that I survived various other traumatic events of my childhood and indeed adult life.
RELATED: The Sins of the Father … And the Cardinal?
Incidentally, I'm not offering this anecdote by way of advice or to enhance my credibility as somehow who has experienced sexual abuse. In subsequent life I have worked with and met numerous other people who had similar stories to tell, some of whom in fact, have gone to become abusers themselves, in accordance with the myth – and it is a myth – that all abusers have previously been so abused.
We're given the life we get. It's easy to say – less easy to do – but we have to get over it.
Find a way. Blame the perp if that makes it easier, but don't blame yourself.
Don't be ashamed that it happened. You had no choice in it. Be proud you survived it.
You did nothing wrong.
Don't let him – or them – or anyone – make you feel that you did.

ITA Regional Championships Complete; Oracle National Fall Championships Begin Next Week in Indian Wells
The ITA's Division I Regional Championships were completed today, with the results of all the finals below. Seven of the tournaments were held last weekend, with the 14 finishing today, with all 24 finalists advancing to the Oracle National Fall Championships, beginning next Wednesday in Indian Wells, California.
As is the case every year, the Regionals produce some unlikely champions and also some excellent performances from freshmen who, until this tournament have had little opportunity to compete against the best. The ITA results page has links to recaps from most of the individual schools' websites.
Three of the women's singles finals and three of the men's singles finals were between teammates, with the Texas, Stanford and Pepperdine women meeting for the titles, as did the Georgia, Michigan and Mississippi State men. For some reason, five of those six matches were played, but the Mississippi State match wasn't.
Those that have now qualified for the Fall Championships, including the small college champions, are listed on the ITA website. The at-large selections and wild cards have not yet been released.

Statement of Research:
My research examines the issue of conservation within the history of US-Central American relations. I am particularly interested in how environmentalists, governmental officials, activists, and scientists, from around the world, worked to promote sustainable development and limit the negative consequences of soil erosion, deforestation, and other environmental crises. I tie these conservation efforts into the broader and global histories of the Cold War and decolonization during the twentieth century. Additionally, I am interested in the history of sport, modern American political history, and Latin American environmental history.
