New-Iphone-7-Concept-Gives-Apple's-Next-Flagship-A-Stunning-Redesign
Whether or not Apple launches a new phone this spring, we’re almost certainly going to have to wait until September before the true sequel to the iPhone 6s makes it to store shelves. For iPhone users who weren’t able or willing to upgrade to the most recent version of the phone, the wait can be excruciating. But in the meantime, at least we have concept art.

to the Bexar County Sheriff's office's official Facebook page, saying he planned to open fire

Speaking
about the promotion, Mr Valentine Obi, Group CEO, eTranzact International PLC
said;
Mobile banking has changed not just the process of banking, but the very idea of what a bank is and can be. Before we introduced the first mobile banking application in partnership with our banking partners in 2003, a bank was limited to a physical place, an edifice that created some form of security of money within.
Today, with mobile banking and other evolutions in technology, the idea of a digital bank has come to the fore, and every time we introduce a new feature, improve the user experience or take an otherwise offline feature of banking online through an eTranzact powered mobile banking application, we are helping the banks form new and maintain existing relationships with customers.
Also speaking, Mr Adeyemi Adeyemo, Group Head, Business development said;
Our choice of prizes reflects our belief that rewards have to be relevant as we believe that the items we offer will significantly benefit our users this yuletide season.
This reward programme is aimed at increasing awareness about mobile banking in Nigeria while rewarding and encouraging those who have already adopted mobile banking.
Our new mobile banking applications have significantly made on-boarding and transactions easier. This was a measure we adopted to continue to improve our services and make mobile banking most easily accessible and drive financial inclusion especially among the financially underserved population”.
The promotion will run till December 31st, 2015 and the team expects to reach over 50 million people across the 36 states.

California doctor convicted in overdose deaths of 3 patients
A Los Angeles-area doctor was convicted Friday of second-degree murder
in the deaths of three patients who overdosed on painkillers she
prescribed.
The prosecution of Dr. Hsiu-Ying "Lisa" Tseng was a rare murder case against a physician at a time when prescription drug abuse has become an epidemic and lawmakers have tried to make it harder for so-called pill mills to easily dole out medications with little scrutiny.
A dozen of Tseng's patients died, including one who overdosed in her office. Prosecutors only brought three murder charges because of other factors involved in some of those deaths, such as drugs prescribed by other doctors and a possible suicide.
Tseng, 45, was convicted of all but one of 21 drug-related counts. She showed no reaction as the verdicts were being read.
She was also charged with illegally writing prescriptions for two of the deceased patients and 16 other people, including three undercover agents who were investigating whether she easily prescribed pain pills after brief office visits.
Tseng prescribed "crazy, outrageous amounts of medication" to patients who didn't need the pills, Deputy District Attorney John Niedermann told jurors in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The doctor repeatedly ignored warning signs even after several patients died as she built a new medical clinic in Rowland Heights with the money she made from them.
Green conceded the doctor had provided a prescription to a patient's husband and said she should be convicted of that felony. However, Green said prosecutors had failed to prove that Tseng was guilty of anything else and should be cleared of the murder counts and drug charges.
Vu Nguyen, 29, of Lake Forest, Steven Ogle, 25, of Palm Desert, and Joseph Rovero, 21, an Arizona State University student from San Ramon, died of overdoses between March and December 2009.
Tseng barely kept any records on the three men until she was contacted by the Medical Board of California. She then fabricated records to make it look like she kept thorough records of diagnoses and noted she was weaning them off drugs, Niedermann said.
Tseng ignored pleas from family members of patients who demanded she stop prescribing drugs to them, Niedermann said.
He said Tseng should have known her patients were prone to abuse because they were returning for refills before they should have run out of pills.

The doctor repeatedly ignored warning signs even after several patients died as she built a new medical clinic in Rowland Heights with the money she made from them.
"I know this is going to kill them, but I don't care because I have a business to run," Niedermann said in summing up the doctor's attitude.
"Something is wrong with what you're doing if your patients are dying," he said.Tseng's lawyer said her client naively trusted her patients. Defense lawyer Tracy Green said patients testified they were legitimately in pain and later became dependent on the drugs, hiding their addictions by seeing other doctors and picking up prescriptions from different pharmacies.
Green conceded the doctor had provided a prescription to a patient's husband and said she should be convicted of that felony. However, Green said prosecutors had failed to prove that Tseng was guilty of anything else and should be cleared of the murder counts and drug charges.
"After she deals with punishment on that one count she can go home to her children," Green said.Jurors had the option of convicting Tseng of involuntary manslaughter.

He said Tseng should have known her patients were prone to abuse because they were returning for refills before they should have run out of pills.
"If you give someone who claims to be a drug abuser the very drug they abuse and they overdose and die, that's a likely foreseeable outcome," Niedermann said. "But for her these people would not have died."
Six-year-old girl beats the odds after being born with her heart outside her chest
“When I was pregnant, the doctor said she will not survive, that she is going to die,” Dari Borun, the girl’s mother, said.The remarkable girl defied the odds set against her and lives, for the most part, like any other girl.
"I like to draw Jesus, ponies and angels,” Virsaviya said. “I don't go to the school and I don't go to the ballet but I want to do it at home."
Borun said she found a surgeon in Boston able to treat her daughter, but the cost prevents her from pursuing it.
“It's gonna be expensive for sure and I tried to work with social worker and she said we don't have opportunity to apply for insurance,” she said.An NBC 6 story on Borun and her inspiring little girl was shared millions of times following its intial airing, prompting many throughout their community to reach out and help.
An anonymous donor even reached out to the station and offered to cover the remainder of Virsaviya’s fundraising goal.
“I don't have a family here. It's just me and Virsaviya, but now I feel like I have a family because a lot of people just caring about us. They love us. They want to help,” Borun said.Though funds are being raised to help the girl receive treatment, she is currently unable to undergo surgery.
“She can't get it because of her high blood pressure and pulmonary arteries. So if it goes down, if she will feel better, they're going to check her in two years,” Borun explained.At the moment, the mother is concerned with covering basic treatment as well as living expenses for herself and her daughter.
Despite the challenges, Virsaviya said it’s the heart that keeps her and her mother going.
“My mom always told me that she loves my heart and I really like it,” she said.
