For a couple of days many people have been going on about how sloppy Kishi has gotten and how the timeline has gone out of hand.
Kishi, although the creator, is not the only person on the team. He has advisors, image editors and script editors by the dozen. That's how the bloody manga industry works. Do you actually believe that such diligent people would overlook these stuff?
I honestly bunch in these people who call TIMELINE ERROR! with those who start ranting and swearing at Kishi when there's a double issue in Japan. It's like they think he's been slacking off and that's the reason we don't get the manga on a particular week.
Neither Kishi nor his team have anything to do with the manga's publication date. It's all up to the Shonen Jump magazine. They have holidays like every other country. You don't start ranting at the teller when a bank isn't open on a Sunday. It's the same thing.
Anyways, regarding the recent timeline discussions. I'll try to make it clear:
- It's a fact that Hashi was still alive when Tsunade was a toddler.
- It's also a fact that Hashirama died at the same time Tobirama became Hokage.
- It's a fact that Hiruzen is 17-18 years older than Tsunade.
- It's certain that Tsunade was 6 years old when she graduated from the Academy and started training under Hiruzen.
- The facts above make Hiruzen 23-24 years old in the following panel.
- Tobirama seems to have appointed Hiruzen as the Hokage when he seems to be just around 20. Give or take a year or two.
The problem people seem to have is that Tobirama's reign that presumably lasted a year or two seems too short to accomplish all the listed feats as setting up the Konoha police force, a battle or two, injury and recovery, starting up the academy and a bunch of other political stuff.
I assure you that it's not.
Think of how much time passed since the Shippuuden Arc started. It has been just around a year and Konoha has already battled Akatsuki numerous times, saved the Kazekage, helped revive the Kazekage, battled Pein, got completely destroyed down to the rubble, got rebuilt in quite a short time, lost it's Hokage due to a coma for a while, appointed a new Hokage (Danzo), participated in the one and only Kage Summit, lost Danzo, got it's Hokage back, participated in the biggest war in Narutoverse history, battled endless zombie Kages in day one of said war, got it's previous Hokage's zombified by none other than our good ol' Oro and is currently fighting against another boss/overkill/over 9000 zombie that goes by the name of Uchiha Madara accompanied by Obito (another overkill) and, lo and behold, the BLOODY JUUBI!
I hope this gets across.

Global Warming Impact on Human/Mammal Health by 2100 Predicted

Matthew Huber of Purdue University
(Source: arcticstories.net)
The paper describes what would happen to humans and other mammals if global temperatures were to rise a certain amount over the course of this century
A Purdue climatologist has published a paper that questions, "How much
can humans physically handle?"
Matthew Huber, a Purdue University climatologist, wrote a scientific paper that describes what would happen to humans and other mammals if expected
rises in global temperature
were to occur by the year 2100. Average estimates from certain models land in the 3 to 4 degrees Celsius range, while others predict 10 or even 20 degree hikes.
Using a measurement technique called "wet-bulb temperature," Huber and Sherwood were able to model what would happen to humans if the 3, 4, 10 or 20 degree increases were to occur by 2100. The wet-bulb temperature method consists of a thermometer bulb wrapped in wet cloth and ventilated, which represents the most perfect scenario for a human to withstand increasing global temperatures: a naked, healthy adult standing in the shade while drinking gallons and gallons of water. Any other scenario that strays from this perfect example would place heat-related stress on a person or mammal to some degree depending on the increase in global temperature.
"We intentionally were trying to explore the upper limit of what humans can possibly stand," said Huber. "Essentially we were assuming a perfectly acclimated person, in perfect health, not performing physical labor, and out of the sun, and were then asking, 'What would it take to kill them quickly?' A real person would be profoundly uncomfortable, miserable and/or sick long before we reach the limit discussed in our paper. Infants, pregnant women, and the elderly would be especially vulnerable long before we hit the limit discussed.
"Thus, the global mean temperature increase of about >10°C that causes widespread heat death in our paper probably is a significant overestimate of the threshold at which substantial harm [would come] to societies and individuals would suffer harm and/or reduced productivity. Put in more prosaic terms, large parts of the world would be violating OSHA and international health standards for work long before we approach this >10°C threshold. But we wanted to be sure we had a limit set by physical and thermodynamic laws and not by human ones (since those are mutable)."
According to Huber, it's most important for the world to set a goal of what temperature increase to avoid. He believes avoiding a 2 degree Celsius increase by 2100 would be impossible by this point, but maybe a 6 degree (and definitely 10 degree) increase is preventable if the proper actions are taken.
If a 10 or 12 degree global temperature increase was achieved by 2100, Huber said people would likely be dying in the streets or running to air conditioned-only locations. However, increased air conditioning can lead to power grid issues, and the grid is strained enough as it is.
What would the world be like if we hit a 12 degree Celsius increase?
"My nightmare," said Huber. "I'm in Oklahoma on a hot summer day. Under a heat lamp. Running. Wrapped in plastic."
There is much debate over whether climate models are correct or not, so Huber's method of basing his results of off many of them (which have varied results of 3 to 20 degree Celsius predicted hikes by 2100) have caused scientists to be skeptical.
"The models aren't perfect," said Huber. "The thing to ask is, are they biased to produce a world that is too warm or
too cold in the future
? For 30 years, climate modelers have compared simulations of past climate change (glacial intervals, greenhouse climates such as the Eocene) against data and found that models get the general climate right but that they are systematically biased to be somewhat too insensitive to forcing. In other words, what modeling of past climates tells us is that these models are—if anything—biased to underpredict future climate change."
Another question addressed is whether humans can adapt to the increase in global temperature. Huber seems to think some can through burrowing, staying near bodies of water, reducing activities and becoming more active at night.
"The most direct way for humans to respond physiologically, which would take thousands of years if at all (we are most likely to change our behaviors) is to get small and skinny, to decrease our volume and maximize our surface area so we can lose heat more effectively," said Huber.
Earlier this week,
ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson
said that manmade global warming has been overexaggerated, and that humans could easily adapt to rising global temperatures.
He also blamed a lazy press, illiterate public and fear-mongering advocacy groups for the bad light placed on the oil industry.
"We have spent our entire existence adapting," said Tillerson. "We'll adapt. It's an engineering problem and there will be an engineering solution."

RE: Stop with the scam
Research for yourself where the man made global warming data has come from, and you would be skeptical also. I was assigned a paper in college over man made global warming, and went into it head strong to prove it was as people say it. I changed my mind after learning about Mann's research methods and averaging techniques are bad on a good day. A great deal of researchers, including those doing work for the UN, base a great deal of their work from his "adjusted" data. CO2 just does not make that good of a green house gas.

Satin Smooth Aloe Wax
BelkisGreat!i love it, it spreads very nicely and takes all the hair... I really recommend it :)posted Apr 18, 2013Link to this post
AllisonWon't Go Back To Honey Wax EverI switched to this wax after using the honey wax and I have to say that I think that it hurt a lot less and will probably never go back to using the honey wax. While I think it was more challenging to spread a thin layer of wax vs. the honey wax, the wax removed my hair and left less irritation than with the honey wax. I am not a neat waxer, there is usually some wax left on me and on the counter and floor. This wax seemed to clean up much better than the honey wax with the wax residue remover and a shower. The wax has a creamy consistency which is different than the honey wax, but in my opinion it is far superior. I am not a professional waxer by any means, but I personally liked this wax much better than the honey wax and will stick with purchasing the aloe wax in the future.posted Aug 10, 2012Link to this post
CharlieBest Wax EverI have been waxing my own legs for years. This is by far the best wax I have ever used. It gets all of the hair on the first try.posted May 20, 2009Link to this post
LaceyThis Stuff Is Messy And UselessIve been waxing my own legs for 6months or more now, I started with the honey wax. That was great. My sister bought the next round- aloe. Yuck. It was way too thick, very messy, and it just ripped most of the hairs off, not pulled them out. On top of that, it was just as irritating as the other wax Ive used. Stick to the honey wax for the results you wish to acheive!posted Aug 16, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousSouthern CaliforniaWhat A Mess!This wax is very messy, it sticks to everything. We stored it under our sink and it spilled out and ruined our wax warmer ($40) and made a huge mess. Using it was difficult not as easy as the hard waxes. Never again!posted Sep 29, 2007Link to this post
ScHawaiiGentler WaxingThis product is so great, the aloe must have something to do with it. It wasnt as red or as painful as the regular wax. It also doesnt smell as bad as the regular wax. It works so well for a Brazilian wax especially those thick hairs.posted Feb 22, 2007Link to this post
Adela HanicGood EnoughAfter the zinc oxide wax that I tried, this wax was a lot better. This wax actually goes on a lot better and it doesnt go on chunky, it spreads out quite nicely for a large area. It does leave your skin feeling smooth and soft after you wax but I must say that the honey wax is the best one and this one is just above average.posted Sep 28, 2006Link to this post
JennWaxThis wax is decent. It does get a little messy but comes off pretty easily with baby oil.posted Jul 5, 2006Link to this post
Ann SmithNot A Good ProductI have been getting waxed for many years and this wax was horrible. It isnt like the wax that salons use at all. It barely takes off any hair and it often was left on my skin even after I ripped off the paper hair remover. It is not a good wax in my eyes by any means. I am very disappointed in the product I spent money on. I will never purchase anything from here again.posted Jul 19, 2005Link to this post

1. Before you begin
2. Prepare your PC
3. Get the free update
4. Restart
5. Choose your settings
6. Welcome to the new Windows
Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 build on Windows 8 and Windows RT, to bring you enhancements in personalization, search, apps, the Windows Store, and cloud connectivity, and has the security and reliability features you expect from Windows. It's fast and made to work on a variety of devices—especially on the new generation of touch devices.
If your PC is currently running Windows 8 or Windows RT, it's free to update to Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1. And unlike previous updates to Windows, you'll get this update from the Windows Store.
The system requirements for Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 are nearly the same as the requirements for Windows 8—if your PC is already running Windows 8 (or Windows RT), in most cases, you can get the free update to Windows 8.1 (or Windows RT 8.1).
But before you begin, here are some things to keep in mind.
Your files, desktop apps, user accounts, and settings come with you. Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 come with some new built-in apps, and it will update or replace some of your existing built-in apps. Your existing Windows Store apps don't come with you, but once the update is complete, you can reinstall all of these apps at once—or just the ones you want. For more info, see the Welcome to the new Windows section of this page.
We'll check your desktop apps and devices for you. As part of the update, we check your current desktop apps and connected devices, and let you know what you'll need to do to get them ready for the update, or to get them working again after the update. In most cases, you won't need to do anything—most desktop apps, devices (like printers), and network connections will work normally after the update. If you have particular desktop apps or devices you're concerned about, you can check their compatibility in the Windows Compatibility Center.
Consider using a Microsoft account to sign in to your PC. If you already use a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 8 or Windows RT, you'll use that same account to sign in to Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1.
If you don't, we recommend that you start using a Microsoft account in Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1. Simply put, it's the glue that holds together so many useful features of the new Windows: the ability to download apps from the Store, automatic syncing of your settings and documents between your PCs, backing up your photos to the cloud so you can get to them from anywhere, and seeing all your contacts from multiple email and social networking accounts together in the People and Mail apps.
If you already have an account you use with Outlook.com, Xbox LIVE, Windows Phone, or Skype, then you already have a Microsoft account. If you use more than one of these, we can help you figure out which email address to use.
You can keep working while the update is installing. Download and installation times vary from about 30 minutes to several hours, depending on your Internet connection speed, and the speed and configuration of your PC, but you can still use your PC while the update is installing in the background. During this time, if you decide to leave your PC unattended, be sure to save your work and close any apps you have open first, in case your PC needs to restart automatically while you're away. After it restarts, you won't be able to use your PC for a little while (from about 20 minutes to an hour), while the updates are being applied. After that phase is complete, we'll walk you through choosing a few basic settings and then Windows will finish applying any final updates that are needed.
There are a few things you should do before you start installing.
Back up your files. Although your files and apps come with you when you update to Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, it's a good idea to make sure that your files are backed up first by setting up File History.
Make sure you have enough free disk space. If you're currently running Windows 8, you need 3,000 MB of available space to install the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1, and 3,850 MB of available space to install the 64-bit version of Windows 8.1. On a Windows RT device, you need 2,250 MB of available disk space to install Windows RT 8.1. For more info, see Tips to free up drive space on your PC.
Plug in your laptop or tablet. It's important to keep your PC plugged in throughout the update process, because if you lose power before it's done, the update might not install properly.
Connect to the Internet. It's best to stay connected until the update is done. If you don't, you'll need to connect again to finish setting up later, and setup will take longer.
Get the latest critical and important updates. There are some updates you might need before you can install Windows 8.1. In most cases, the latest updates will be installed automatically using Windows Update. But if you don't have automatic updates turned on and you need to check for updates manually, or if you'd like to check to see when the latest updates were installed, you can do this from Windows Update. For more info, see Windows Update: Frequently asked questions.
Temporarily turn off your antivirus program. Some antivirus software might interfere with the installation. After you install Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, remember to turn your antivirus program back on.
Ready? Now you can download the free update from the Windows Store.
Go to the Start screen, and tap or click the Store tile.
In the Store, tap or click the Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 update. if you don't see the update on the Store home screen, see Why can't I find the update in the Store?
Tap or click Download.
The update will download and install in the background while you use your PC to do other things. The installer will check to make sure you have enough disk space, that your apps and devices will work with Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, and that you have all the required updates.
In some cases, the installer might find something you need to take care of before you can continue installing the update. If so, you'll see a message telling you what you need to do.
If the installation is interrupted for any reason, you can restart the update from where you left off by going back to the Store and downloading the update again.
After the update is downloaded and the first phase of the installation is complete (which could take between 15 minutes and a few hours, depending on your system and your connection speed), you'll see a message telling you that your PC needs to restart. It will give you 15 minutes to finish what you're working on, save your work, and close your apps, and then it will restart your PC for you. Or you can restart it yourself.
If you leave your PC before it's ready to restart, be sure to save your work and close any desktop apps you're using to make sure you don't lose anything when it restarts automatically. Your PC might need to restart more than once, depending on how it's set up, and whether additional updates are needed.
Restarting will take longer than usual—from 20 minutes to about an hour—while the update is applied. During this time, you won't be able to use your PC.
You'll see a list of recommended settings, called express settings. To accept these settings and continue, tap or click Use express settings. You can change any of these settings later, after you finish setting up. If you'd like to change some of these settings now, tap or click Customize.
For more info, tap or click Learn more about express settings. To learn about how these settings affect your privacy, tap or click Privacy statement.
Next, you'll be asked to sign in. If you already use a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 8 or Windows RT, your account name will be filled in for you. If you previously used a local account, you can still use it to sign in.
Enter your Microsoft account email address, if needed, and your password.
We'll send a security code to the alternate email address or phone number you've set up for this account, and you'll need to enter that code to verify that you're the owner of the account. This helps us protect your account and devices when you access sensitive info. If you don't have alternate contact info set up for the account yet, you'll be asked to provide it now.
If you have more than one Microsoft account, you can get help figuring out which email address to use for your Microsoft account.
If you signed in to your PC using a Microsoft account before you installed Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, then you might not need to enter a security code.
To sign in with your local account, enter your password. You can always connect to a Microsoft account later, and we recommend giving it a try. Simply put, your Microsoft account is the glue that holds together so many useful features of the new Windows. With one, you'll be able to get apps from the Windows Store, automatically sync your settings and documents between PCs, back up your photos to the cloud so you can get to them from anywhere, and see all your contacts from multiple email and social networking accounts together in the People and Mail apps.
If this is your first time setting up a PC with Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, you'll see the new OneDrive options.
If you already have another PC running Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, and you chose to sync settings on that PC, then your OneDrive settings will also sync from your existing PC to this one, and you might not see this screen.
If you click Next on this screen, your PC will use these default OneDrive settings:
Photos you take with this PC are saved to your camera roll folder on this PC, and a smaller copy of each photo is automatically backed up to your OneDrive.
When you create a new document, the default save location is OneDrive. But you can always choose to save individual documents locally or on another drive.
Windows will save a backup copy of your PC settings to OneDrive. If something ever happens to your PC and you need to replace it, your settings are saved in the cloud and you can transfer them to a new PC instantly.
You can change any of these settings later in PC settings. If you'd prefer to turn off all of these settings now, tap or click Turn off these OneDrive settings (not recommended).
For more info about upgrading a PC that has the OneDrive desktop app for Windows installed, see Windows now comes with OneDrive.
Because Windows is always being updated, it's possible that critical updates have become available since Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 were finalized. Windows checks for these critical updates when you finish setting up Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 for the first time, and if it finds any, it will download them automatically. Downloading and installing these updates might take a few minutes, depending on the updates you need. Your PC might also need to restart one or more times to complete the updates.
The new Start screen will appear.
Much of it will look familiar, but if you'd like to explore what's new and how to get around, check out this Start screen page.
Your desktop apps come with you when you update to Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, but you'll need to reinstall your Windows Store apps. You can see all of the Windows Store apps you own in the Your apps section of the Store. From here, you can choose the ones you want to install on your updated PC, and install them all at once.
On the Start screen, tap or click the Store tile to open the Windows Store.
Tap or click Account, and then tap or click My apps.
Select all the apps you want to install, and then tap or click Install.
You can also reinstall apps from the Start screen by tapping or clicking the tiles.
You don't need to wait for the apps to finish installing. They'll keep installing in the background while you do other things.

Lawn mower spindles are essential parts of the mower's cutting deck. The mower deck spindles and pulleys work together to rotate the blades for a smooth even cut. If any parts of the spindle assembly are bent or broken, it can cause the blades to spin unevenly, or prevent them from spinning at all. When you need to replace a spindle on your riding mower or zero turn, Jack's has all the parts you need. Our selection of spindle assemblies, spindle housings, and spindle shafts from many popular manufacturers, including Husqvarna, John Deere, MTD, and Toro, will get your mower back into perfect cutting shape.

text: Just disable a VSync. Very short description how VSync works: If FPS is more than VSync value (mostly 60) it will be reduced to this value, so 60 in our example. When FPS is less than 60 eg. 50, it will be reduced to 30 FPS. VSync is good option only when You are sure that Your system will allow You to get more FPS than Your refresh rate value is, but if Your avarage FPS without VSync enabled is close to Your refresh rate value You shouldn't enable VSync.

Country Squire builds legacy as state's oldest tobacconist
by Stephen McDill Published: March 22,2013
Tags: cigar smokers, Country Squire Tobacconist, Easter Flood of 1979, Hayes Dent, JACKSON, James Eastland, Lakeland Drive, pipe smokers, The Quarter on Lakeland, tobacco, William Faulkner
Tobacco is as much a part of the Old South as bourbon and blueticks. There's a light-hearted exchange on the leaf's virtue in the 2003 Civil War movie "Gods and Generals." "Colonel Stuart, do you use tobacco?" Confederate general Stonewall Jackson asks a junior officer. "No sir, not in any form," answers Stuart. "Neither do […] [...]

Hardware video rendering is back... that's good news. Bad news, it's buggy and crashy like always. Performance is worse than in 10.2.
Hey, good news everyone! Flash 11 is also horribly broken on Windows. I just installed 11.0 and then also tried the 11.2 beta on Windows 7, and HD video is choppy as hell. To the point of it being unwatchable.
...Not totally, on gma945 chipset in the past Hw acceleration worked by forcing it in mms.cfg file, now doesn't.
I tried with an nvidia and youtube says the video is hardware accelerated (scaling), but all i can see is statics on the screen, flickering.
...Oh, and cpu use just to watch a 480p is about 50% (25+25) on an E7500 (!).
That's more like an alpha.
Great, so now rather than just puking and pegging one core, it will puke and peg ALL the cores. That really seems like what we need most of all.
I don't have any problems with flash. The solution to achieve this is very simple: just remove it from your system. Opera with HTML5 videos works great in YouTube, for other sites there are various extensions to download videos. Since I've removed flash, I don't experience any more X crashes that used to bother me while I browse internet.
Well, I tried it. It crashes in two stages. First it displays only black windows or totally unrecognizable video on youtube. Second, when I try reloading the page the plugin crashes. Reloading after that repeats the cycle.
Weird result and not at all usable.
I hope they fix the bugs fast, the new features seem interesting.
Now on all these different acceleration techniques, why can't we have one, say VA-API (that one is open) and have backends for it in terms of all the others on the different hardware: So base VA-API on vdpau on nvidia, base VA-API on XvBA on ati, etc. And for the open drivers (nouveau, radeon, intel) just implement only va-api.

Chifley Square
On a prominent, north-facing site, 8 Chifley will be 30 storeys tall, with a five storey entrance plaza at its base. The office spaces across 21 levels are connected by a series of adaptable two and three storey interlinked vertical 'villages'. These villages (ranging from 1,800 to 2,600 m²) provide the building with a high degree of flexibility. These villages create a variety of individual workspace environments which allow privacy and interaction between individuals. This hollowing out of floor space within the tower allows for redistribution of space higher up the building where better views can be enjoyed. The design creates an environment in tune with demands of contemporary office trends, where technology is the driver and attributes of the home begin to come into the workplace.
At level 18 the village square forms the social heart of the building. This three-storey landscaped space contains a glass pavilion for all weather use. The profiled roof allows level 30 to take on similar qualities to the loggia spaces at ground level and at level 18. Framed by a wind permeable structure which neutralise the wind load, the light structure provides shading to the terrace whilst allowing an open character.
A wide ranging strategy of effective water reduction, reduced CFC emissions, off site manufacture and the use of sustainably-sourced materials will result in 8 Chifley being one of the greenest buildings in Sydney. These include: louvred sunscreens on the north west and west façades; a tri-generation system for onsite electricity generation; gas powered CHP; blackwater treatment and rainwater recycling systems and sub-floor chilled air conditioning which together are aiming to exceed 6* certification.

Home › Academics & Activities › Media Matters
By Marian Wilde , GreatSchools Staff
Ah, the ephemeral nature of teen fads. In a few years' time we've witnessed a complete lifecycle of teen enthusiasm, in this case for social networking sites: The word spreads virally, some bad things happen, the media gets into the act, parents react with fear, and boom, you have the Great MySpace Brouhaha of 2006.
"Web of Risks" and "MySpace, A Dangerous Place" are just two of the many negative headlines from the past year. Reports of predators targeting young girls online, of high school kids advertising parties that quickly spiral out of control, of college students being expelled for posting compromising photos of themselves, have contributed to growing alarm among adults.
But in the process, some who've studied the phenomenon say we've lost sight of the benefits that can be had from the demonized social networking sites. As long as parents talk to their kids about the importance of keeping private information private, and monitor their screen time, these sites may help develop creativity and even reading skills, these researchers say.
Yes, say educators and researchers who have quickly moved into the fray. With the public's attitude slowly relaxing, many experts now say social networking sites help develop a child's sense of self and provide avenues for creative self-expression.
Although news reports have noted anecdotal evidence that some of the earliest adopters of MySpace, Facebook, Friendster and Xanga appear to be showing signs of social networking fatigue, new waves of youth are continually supplementing the ranks. "MySpace is still frequently used and its usage is growing exponentially," says Sameer Hinduja, assistant professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Florida Atlantic University and co-author with Justin W. Patchin of a study on adolescent usage of MySpace.

As YouTube's cultural significance builds in Australia so will its ad dollars
Last week Google outlined its plans for YouTube at a huge Brandcast event. DentsuAegis' Paul Brooks was in the crowd at Maddison Square Gardens and dissects what the future holds for the world's largest video platform. It would be hard to find anyone that wasn't impressed with the 2015 US Brandcast event in New York. YouTube celebrated its tenth birthday with a very clear pitch to US media buyers and advertisers in New York. It was about scale, it was about headlines, mobile, engagement, fame and above all a very clear play for a larger slice of the $189bn advertising pie. -
Time for Finkelstein? Australians need to rewind the media policy machine
In this cross-posting from The Conversation Bruce Baer Arnold of the University of Canberra argues the government needs to revisit the Finkelstein Report as a guide to help overhaul media regulation. As Australia drifts between national elections it is time, once again, to ask some hard questions about media policy. Those questions should be asked and answered by all Australians rather than just by Malcolm Turnbull, Rupert Murdoch, Bill Shorten, Kerry Stokes, Bruce Gyngell and Tony Abbott. A guide is provided by the Finkelstein Report, a victim of political opportunism and ALP infighting. -
Are Aussie publishers prepared for the invasion of the global hordes?
Last week some of the biggest digital players in the world presented their content and monetisation strategies to advertisers in New York. Nic Christensen sat through many of those Newfront presentations and fears many local media players aren't ready to compete in the global race for scale and audience. If I was to distill the most pertinent question for the Australian market from the dozen or so presentations I sat through last week at the IAB Digital Newfronts in New York it would be this: are our local publishers able and willing to "lean in" to video and embrace it as a core part of their future businesses? -
How Much Is It Worth?
Ever wondered what the real price of media is? Our weekly spot How Much Is It Worth reveals both the ratecard price and what agencies really pay for it. This week's How Much Is It Worth asks how much did it cost to buy: a 30-second spot in Sunday Night; a page in a royal baby special edition; a pre-roll ad in Ten's Shark Tank; an ad before the new Mad Max film; securing Iggy Azalea as a brand ambassador. -

Online giant AOL is expanding its footprint in Australia with the launch of HuffPo and its programmatic platforms locally. Head of AOL International Graham Moysey sat down with Nic Christensen to talk about the future of video, its partnership with Fairfax Media and how the company is using Australia as a testing ground for its ad sales plans. Where are things up to with the Huffington Post Australia? -
Confusopoly: Why companies are motivated to deliberately confuse
In this cross-posting from The Conversation Kenan Kalaycı of the University of Queensland argues the companies which simplify their messaging and products will win with customers. Consumers today have easy access to a wide range of products and services. The task of choosing between hundreds of products or packages each having dozens of different fees however, is the opposite of easy. -
Media has no need to dramatise an event that is already fuelled with drama
Distressing images of coffins being delivered to an Indonesian prison, crosses being made and details of the execution process for nine drug smugglers awaiting the firing squad are gratuitous and tasteless, argues Mumbrella's Steve Jones. Overnight we received an email with the subject line: "Offering pics about execution /Death convicts in Nusakambangan Island", with some examples of the photographer's work. "For me these are premium Images and only me and one other print media who take the crosses making," said the man who had taken the photos showing the names of Bali nine ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran being painted on their grave markers. Certainly most of the Australian media shares the view these ghoulish shots are premium inventory, revelling in every moment leading up to the almost inevitable end to the saga, their death by firing squad. -
What I've learned 90 days into life as a marketing management consultant
In this opinion piece David Angell takes a candid look at his first three months as an industry consultant after many years working in media agencies. Here's an interesting thing: when I privately announced to selected colleagues my decision to enter the world of 'consultancy', the reaction I had was…well, to use a polite cliché – mixed. -
How Much Is It Worth?
Ever wondered what the real price of media is? Our weekly spot How Much Is It Worth reveals both the ratecard price and what agencies really pay for it. This week's How Much Is It Worth asks how much did it cost to take out: the main ad on the homepage of the Bureau of Meteorology website during this week of wild weather; how much the strategic placement by NRMA Insurance on the second page of the Daily Telegraph in the aftermath of the storms; a product placement deal on Masterchef; a half page ad in the Saturday Paper; and a live read by Sydney/soon-to-be Brisbane Breakfast shock jock Alan Jones? -
The Apple Watch launch carries a lot of lessons in user experience
You might not have the marketing budgets of Apple but Luke Brown argues there is no reason every brand can't learn lessons from its focus on user experience. With all the hype surrounding the launch of the Apple Watch there's some lessons that all marketers can take out from Apple's grip on brand experience. And before you roll your eyes and utter, but we're not Apple we don't [insert size, budget, boring product excuse here], every brand can afford to take a good look in the mirror to see if it's keeping pace with customer expectations. -
Who will buy the Apple Watch and when?
The Apple Watch has gained a lot of attention since it was announced late last year. In this guest post Rob Marston unpacks who will buy it and what that means for marketers. Today Apple has again launched an oxymoron – a watch that is less about time-telling and more about communicating, just as the iPhone is less about calling and more about apps, taking selfies, texting with emoticons and snap chatting your latest latte. But the Apple Watch will change the humble watch and it will change tech gadgetry for a whole sweep of demographics over time. -
Spotify's global business head talks piracy, getting better with data and who will survive in the Australian market
In seven years Spotify has changed the way a generation listens to music, and claims to have cut music piracy drastically in the process. Alex Hayes sat down with Spotify's chief business office Jeff Levick to discuss how many services can survive in the Australian landscape, improving the use of data and how it works with telco partners.
Is it better to have paid subscriptions?
We're a feemium business - it's hard to separate the two.
The whole reason for free is to basically have a platform to allow consumers for free to find music, listen to music and engage with it, and obviously for us it's a big part of our push into premium which is paid.
Just because I'm a white young woman doesn't mean I don't deserve my job at SBS
In this opinion piece SBS journalist Ellie Laing hits back at a report in The Australian suggesting she and colleagues were hired because they were attractive. I'm a 32 year old married woman who like so many, endures a daily struggle with frizzy hair and the occasional breakout. So when a compliment suggesting I might be, in some way, "attractive" comes my way, I'll take it. With delight. -
How Much Is It Worth?
Ever wondered what the real price of media is? Our new weekly spot called How Much Is It Worth reveals both the ratecard price and what agencies really pay for it. Today's How Much Is It Worth asks how much it is to take out: the top promoted tweet for Game of Thrones; a poster on the back of a phonebox; an ad on the back of a glossy magazine; a news website takeover; and what is the De Rucci guy is paying for all those billboards. -
Are big media agencies serving their clients or the media owners?
In the aftermath of the revelations about media agency practices 303Lowe CEO Nick Cleaver questions whether big media agencies have forgotten what business they're in? The recent exposure of murky practices and less than savoury activities within media agencies has raised a lot of questions about the legitimacy and responsibility of media agency practices. However there is a bigger question worth posing: have some big media agencies simply forgotten what business they're really in?

I get it form Phoenicia Specialty Foods their address is 12141 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX . It is worth visiting if you ever on that side of townI went there yesterday morning, I bought aleppo pepper (never had it before) , french feta, blue cheese, and lots of other stuff
I've been there - awesome store - they have one downtown now too. It's a great place to buy cured meats and hard cheeses - things like Rarmigiano-Reggiano, Grana Padano, and Pecorino Romano are something like half the cost/lb vs. HEB.
Question ,If I want to double my recipe, should I double yeast amount or should I use less?
My wife works downtown, she had lunch there yesterday... I have a friend who lives in that building, I have not visited him for over a year. If the weather is nice, we may take the kids to discovery green, visit my friend and checkout the store. 3 birds in one stone.

<< Return to IRB Policies and Forms
IRB Action Plan for Investigator Non-compliance
To establish a corrective action plan and sanctions process in the event of investigator non-compliance.
A. Identification of Serious or Continuing Non-Compliance
The CHS IRB reviews all allegations of non-compliance with research regulations in projects under its purview. For research approved by another IRB, the CHS IRB will notify that IRB of the non-compliance.
Any individual or organization may submit a written complaint or allegation of non-compliance to the IRB. The IRB may also initiate a complaint based on its own available information (deficiencies noted in IRB files, etc.).
Non-compliance can include, but is not limited to:
The IRB may also review allegations of conflict of interest, financial mismanagement, etc.
The IRB requests that individuals observing investigator non-compliance report to the IRB within 24 hours (or as soon as reasonably possible), any (i) unanticipated problems involving risks to subjects or others; (ii) any serious or continuing noncompliance with Federal Regulations or the requirements or determinations of the IRB; and (iii) any suspension or termination of sponsor approval.
B. IRB Actions
In response to an allegation of non-compliance, the IRB will investigate the allegation and complete the Non-Compliance Report . Documentation of the event will take place on the Non-Compliance Report and in any letters received/sent regarding the report. The documentation will be kept in the IRB office.
If necessary, the IRB will conduct an on-site audit during the investigation. Alternatively, the IRB may audit the investigator at a predetermined future date in order to ensure that the investigator has made efforts to initiate the recommended compliance requests.
Possible IRB actions may include, but are not limited to:
The IRB will send a copy of its final decision to the Principal Investigator. If the allegation involves activities occurring at a non-CHS facility or institution, the IRB will share the information with that site, as appropriate.
C. Suspension or Termination of Research
The IRB has the authority to suspend or terminate approval of research that is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB's requirements or that has been associated with unexpected serious harm to subjects.
Suspension or termination of approval includes written documentation of the reasons for the IRB's action that is promptly reported to:
Study Suspension. A study may be temporarily suspended to further enrollment if the IRB feels additional information is needed to ensure the ongoing safety of participants or while awaiting a response from the investigator regarding an initial allegation. Once the investigator has, to the satisfaction of the IRB, provided sufficient information and/or corrected his actions, the IRB may once again allow the study to be open to accrual.
Temporary suspensions to enrollment which are not due to investigator non-compliance (i.e. possible increased risk to subjects, needing investigation and/or clarification) are only reported to the investigator and, if relevant, the appropriate institutional officials.
Reasons for suspension may include:
Study Termination. A study may be terminated if the issues surrounding the suspension of a study cannot be satisfactorily addressed and resolved. Serious issues of investigator non-compliance may lead to the termination of all of an investigator's active studies. Sufficient and substantive evidence is required to justify the termination of all of an investigator's studies.
D. Investigator Responses
The investigator must respond to the IRB's written notice of non-compliance no less than 30 days after receiving such notice. However, the required response time may be immediate (within 24 hours), if patient safety or other urgency is involved.
The investigator's response must assure the IRB that the issues identified will be taken care of as per the IRB's request.
Right to a Hearing. The investigator has a right to a hearing, if s/he feels that it would provide a better explanation and substantiation of the event. The hearing may be made to a sub-committee of the IRB or to the Full Board. Determination of whether the hearing will require Full Board attendance or that of a designated sub-committee, will be made by the IRB at the time of the investigator's request.
Right to an Appeal. If the investigator believes that the allegations are unfounded, have been misrepresented, or if s/he is in any other way in disagreement with the allegations being made in the non-compliance report, s/he may request an appeal.
Such an appeal will be made in writing and will explicitly outline any/all information needed to clarify the issue and state her/his point. The written appeal will be presented to the Full Board for review. If requested, the investigator may be asked to be present at the IRB meeting at the time of the review of the appeal.
Following the appeals process, the IRB may alter its original action. However, decisions made by the IRB at this time will be final.

Apple Demonstrates Voice Control for iPhone 3G S
In one of the more impressive demonstrations during the iPhone 3G S introduction, Apple showed off a new feature -- Voice Control.
To activate it, you hold down the "home" button (previously reserved for "force quit"). When you hear the sound, you're good to speak!
It can be used to make a call by saying either the name or number. Voice Control will repeat what you say for confirmation.
It can also be used to tell the iPod app to play a song, play a playlist, shuffle, activate Genius, or even tell you what song is currently playing.
Most impressive? It will be available in a ton of languages! (See full list after the break!)
- Chinese (Cantonese)
- Chinese (Mainland)

- Danish

Apple Demonstrates Voice Control for iPhone 3G S
Overall, this is "neat"... but I'm going to be honest, a video camera, improved camera, voice features, a compass, and improved processor speeds "up to" 2x faster isn't enough to get me to upgrade from my 3g I bought in January to the 3G[s].
If I was just buying an iPhone, for the first time and found out this stuff had been added, I would have been like "oh, cool", but it's not worth me shelling out another several hundred dollars for these features.
This would be more impressive if they could take notes with the voice recognition technology so I could send email and sms and take notes verbally and have the phone type them out.
When you look at that google APP can do with Voice search its really amazing, and really fast. I suspect they have a tad more processing power to draw upon tho...
1) What happened to force quit? Does it get another method, or is it just "hold it for voice control, hold it REALLY LONG" to force quit the foreground app?
2) On my 3G with vlingo I can say "call steve" to dial. I cannot control music with it, but I can also say "find mcdonalds" to look for food on google maps, or "search iphone" to google. vlingo's drawback is that as an app, not a system service, it has to be in the foreground, which kind of defeats the convenience purpose. Does Apple's voice control offer this, or just call and music controls?
3) The voice calling feature, at least, NEEDS to work with BT headsets and car kits. Otherwise, it will fail to serve the people who need it most.
Why on earth is voice control not going to work on the iPhone 3G??? How is that possibly a hardware feature? I just bought my iPhone 3G in August and it's obsolete already? Apple sucks sometimes. And video recording. How is that a hardware feature? I record video right now with my jailbroken iPhone 3G, but Cycorder is buggy and I was looking forward to a more polished Apple version.
exBBCurve8310Owner, the video recording quality you get with the iphone 3g jailbroken is about 15fps. Apple was right not to allow it on the current 3g as the quality would not be good enough. The 2mpx camera on that device was designed only for still photo.
The new one records video at VGA 30fps which is far more acceptable and the camera has been designed with both purposes in mind.
My guess is that the Voice Control and other non-3GS hardware specific features (Nike+ and Video to name a few) could be unlocked through jailbreak software. The code would exist in the 3.0 software, it just needs to be tricked into thinking it's running on a 3GS and not a 3G. Peanuts for the jailbreak crowd.
I would use it while in the car, definitely. Walking around? No. I was at the grocery store buying some mac and cheese and this guy pulled out his blackberry, held down a button, said "Call Marge" and waited while it confirmed.
He could have just hit the green button, typed 'marge', and been done with it.
Like the iPod shuffle with voice control, there could be something in the hardware that will also take signals from headsets?
Lamest "upgrade" in Apple history.
$99 entry price is only exciting news but i'm pretty sure everyone here has an iPhone so who cares?
Thanks for the $200 compass Apple.
epic fail.
@ Miley Cyrus
don't agree with you; iphone 3GS is a new product, with a few new software features but also with new hardware (faster processor, faster connection speed, stronger battery etc) and don't think they made it for existing custumers. First of all they just want to expand their market shares... so, lower prices and all the amazing features (old&new) to attract new customers.
For existing customers, like me, just think if you would buy a new Mac Book or a new Mac Pro every time they make an upgrade. I wouldn't... my Mac Pro will last 2/3 years and so will do my iPhone 3G
Having paid $499 for the original iPhone 2G, I'm glad that I will be able to upgrade to the 3.0 OS and keep the original $69/month AT&T plan. Both the 3G and the 3GS are not enough of an improvement for me to upgrade. The faster speeds are relative. I will wait, yet again, to see what the next version of iPhone hardware will have to offer.
Allthough, if AT&T were to lower the cost of the data plan and have some kind of trade-in program, I would reconsider. But when will that happen? Much less for a 2G owner.
I wonder how many other users out there are thinking about not upgrading just yet and keeping their original 2G like me. What do you guys think about that?
I'm curious as to why voice control wasn't included for 3G models; apart from the hardware upgrades, the software is the same at the core. So what gives?
I have heard that Apple is planning on doing continuous updates on headset integration and other sorts of new features with the voice control app; the way its structured is too powerful to just leave for calling and music. They've probably got some wicked stuff in the works. But then again, it is Apple.....which probably means that only models 3GS and after will be able to access it. BLEH. Or it will be all hyped up and then epic fail. Double BLEH.
@Rick. Unfortunately, you cannot use a Bluetooth headset for voice control of the 3G S. That's according to Apple. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3597.
There is a standard protocol that other mobile phones use to let Bluetooth headsets dial by voice. It's puzzling that Apple did not choose to support it. I hope they change their minds.
While cycling, I could not safely push the home button or wear a wired headset. But I usually dial only one number during a ride. I call that number once before each ride and quickly hang up. During the ride, I use the Redial function on my Bluetooth headset to reach that number.
While driving, I use that same Redial trick to call the AT&T voice dial service. But always remembering to do that, and getting my entire Address Book into the service, isn't really feasible. That's the main reason I would like 3G S voice control.
TomTom plans to ship a car kit later this summer that includes a dashboard mount. Maybe it will retain the iPhone securely enough that it will be easy to push and hold the Home key without looking away from the road. If so, I may upgrade then.
It is a horrible feature. My iphone gets about 5% of my commands correct. Normally it will play a random song, will tell me "no song match" when I have 100s of songs by the artist I requested or it will do something completely random like dial my ex (not sure why his number is still in my phone, but you can imagine me rushing to hit "end call").
Completely not worth it. A very poor design. And, yes, I am an English-speaker (native).
Dude, I am not sure it if support bluetooth or not but with a motorola it only support re-dail, so the question is if you have a stero bluetooth headset would it work.
with the wired headset that comes with the phone it works great. 95% and it not how good you are speak english it's how good and clear and pronounce each sound. like andy and annie be sure to concentrate on the whatever. Also say call before name so it won't try to pay a song that's named andy.... when you like to play specific sound say play ... don't just speak a name. for other language I think you will have to switch you phone language as the default language. or spell our you contact fast and steady. like ABC, notice that I have a contact name zui long it will confirm by saying call z u i long? voice to call app? some is valid, like type out e-mail, note and other voice applicable program, but for webbrowsing you need your eye on it so voice it not ... but it would be great if whenever you are ask to type something you can choose do to voice input.
The best part of the 3GS is available on the 3G if you get the update. And its got to be copy & paste! Its brilliant. If I'm on the bus to school i can copy and paste some crap from wiki onto notes and then email it to myself and print it out at school! Sorted. The other features released at this time was stuff like "internet tethering". Would be great if it was free. Why shouldnt it be? Im paying for unlimited internet about £45 a month on my iphone yet if i want to transfer the connection to my laptop it will cost me £30 a
month ON TOP OF THAT (sorry i'm enjoying my
rant here). Does anyone have internet tethering?is it more competative then mobile broadband or whatever the men on the train call it with the thing in the USB thingmigigy?
Right, I think my little rant should end now. Wait. Not really little. Big rant.
The 3.1 upgrade includes the ability to use Bluetooth headsets with voice control.
I found this thread and had given it up as lost; glad I continued Googling until I found out that it now can!
"This would be more impressive if they could take notes with the voice recognition technology so I could send email and sms and take notes verbally and have the phone type them out.
When you look at that google APP can do with Voice search its really amazing, and really fast. I suspect they have a tad more processing power to draw upon tho…"
AND NOW YOU CAN...with the Dragon Dictator App that was just released (free)
My voice control works flawlessly. I have a strong southern south Carolina accent and I get at least 95 percent accuracy. I don't understand what you fools are talking about. And by the way, the 3gs smokes the sh*t out of the 3g. Ive had both. It's definitely ridiculously more than just a 200 compass. Y'all dont know what your talking about.
i had a 486/33 with 4megabytes and win 3.1 almost 20 years ago, that could do voice recognition with a software of its soundblaster pro. so apple sucks for saying that it is impossible to update the older iphone models to do that due to "hardware restrictions". this is a marketing scam on behalf of apple to sell the 3Gs. and I had all 3 models of iphones so far, all jailbroken. if you have a jailbroken 2G, you dont need anything more. 3G speeds suck everywhere in the world. gprs is far better. stick to a jailbroken original iphone that will do 90% of the stuff with no problems. I speak from experience.

Facebook poker chips are exactly like many alternative digital currencies relating to the world wide web, only far more fashionable. Myspace poker chips are widely used throughout virtual texas holdem poker video games for social networking web sites by participants just about all over the globe from the United States, to Russia, to Denmark. Competitors grind away within the application after meeting up in different tiered poker tables that are organized in accordance to the amount of myspace poker chips they have to have to buy in. They could possibly play at rooms having buyins as low as 100 myspace chips all the way up to many of thousands as well as billions of chips.
You can hold down the Home button to get to Voice Control even if the iPhone is locked. You can use Voice Control with a bluetooth headset without even touching the iPhone. You can use Voice Control to call your entire contact list and can dial numbers digit by digit. Voice Control apps can connect you with your contacts even if he has multiple numbers. Just give the right phone command and you are connected. Along with many other apple apple iphone 4 accessories this application is also enable in iphone 4.
!m sorry but I think that the voice activation is totally rubbish on my iPhone 3GS. It doesn't understand the name you want to call and dials random numbers that do not sound remotely like the one you have asked it to. I am from London so maybe that has something to do with it but still it should still work. Those people on here that don't have the voice activation I really wouldn't worry about it you are not missing much .
This is a amazing article. Thanks for this site. Well made! You will find more informations on Lingerie de charme. There's everything all you can need!
Thank you so much! I have had this phone for almost a year, and couldn't find the instructions on Apple's site. You rock!!!
hello there and thanks to your info ? I have definitely picked up anything new from proper here. I did alternatively expertise some technical points the usage of this web site, as I skilled to reload the web site many times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been brooding about in case your web host is OK? Now not that I am complaining, but sluggish loading instances instances will sometimes affect your placement in google and could injury your quality rating if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I'm including this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for much extra of your respective intriguing content. Ensure that you replace this once more very soon..
