VIDEO: LG Optimus 7 in Transformers / Matrix mash-up
It's been doing the rounds for a wee while, but this has to be one of the best mobile phone adverts we've seen at Pocket-lint, so it's worth sharing.
We'd also bet the house on the fact that this LG Optimus 7 ad is the only way you're likely to see a handset turn into into a robot, Transformers style, and take on a bunch of Matrix-style action figures, while extolling the benefits of Windows Phone 7. A neat trick, and a lesson in superb stop-animation.
To be honest, we're not entirely sure what kicking a bunch of Ray-Ban wearing agents about actually means, but it's so darn cool that it doesn't matter.
And, it certainly makes the LG Optimus 7 look bad-ass...

A source close to creative says he is set for "a big push" upon his return to WWE programming in April as a villainous henchman for Raw Interim General Manager and Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis. F4WOnline.com reported that there has been talk of Bloom feuding with John Cena since the Raw Superstar does not have a post-WrestleMania XXVIII program in place at the moment. However, the note of Bloom possibly feuding with Cena has since been deleted.
Bloom, who will turn 40 years old in November, previously competed for WWE from 1999 to 2004 as a mid-card wrestler. He tore his rotator cuff in June 2004 and was released from his contract before returning from the injury. He would go on to achieve greater success in Japan as Giant Bernard in a tag team partnership with Karl Anderson.

"Some of us have received salary dues. Those in the lowest package as well as some engineers and pilots have also got a month's salary dues," sources told .
The airline has not been paying salary to its employees since May last year, while it had started delaying salaries much before the crisis broke out last October.
The sources also said airline Chief Executive Sanjay Agarwal is in the capital to meet the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to make a fresh request to resume operations.
However, both the developments could not be officially confirmed.
Earlier in the day, Kingfisher shares rose as much as 5 per cent on the BSE, the maximum permissible limit on a day, after one of its promoters, United Breweries Holdings, hiked its loan limit for the ailing carrier to Rs 750 crore from Rs 300 crore.
UB Holdings has sought approval from its shareholders to revise the lending limit for Kingfisher and to authorise its board of directors to take necessary actions in this regard, the company had said yesterday.
Reacting to the development, shares of the company touched an intra-day high of Rs 10.53 on the BSE, higher by 5 per cent from its previous closing price at 1230 hours.
"To accommodate further lending to Kingfisher if required, it is proposed to realign these limits further by increasing the lending limit to KFA from Rs 300 crore to Rs 750 crore and reducing the investment limit from Rs 1,200 crore to Rs 750 crore, thus maintaining the overall limit of Rs 1,500 crore..," UB Holdings said in a shareholders' notice.
The revision was done to facilitate the conversion of loans given to Kingfisher into convertible/no-convertible securities, as required by the debt recast agreement between the airline and a consortium of its lenders.
It can also be noted that last Tuesday, the lenders to the airline, which number as many as 17 banks which together had extended Rs 7,000 crore to the company, had resolved to recall their loans to the airline, which had been grounded since October one last, saying more than enough time was given to the management to revive the crippled airline.
The lenders consortium leader State Bank, which has an outstanding dud loan of over Rs 1,700 crore, had said as a first step, lenders would monetise the collateral given to them from other group companies like Mangalore Fertilisers and the flagship United Spirits, in which 54 per cent has been sold to the British spirits major Diageo for around Rs 11,170 crore.
However, the UB Group has denied that it had given USL shares as collaterals to the lenders as well as the brand Kingfisher, which also covers its beer business.
The bankers are expecting to recover around Rs 1,000 crore from these securities before the end of this fiscal itself.
Yesterday, SBI chairman P Chaudhuri had said in Chennai that he was hopeful of recovering a "good portion of his Rs 1,700 crore dues from the airline."
"Of the total dues of Rs 7,000 crore... so far, the approach was to revive the airline. But now we have decided to realise the securities provided by the airline. Our endeavour is to recover the full amount," Choudhuri said.
Noting that recovery of dues would be after completing a "complicated, long, legal battle", he said the bank has made provisions to collect Rs 1,650 crore of the Rs 1,700 crore through realisation of securities.
The lenders also hope to take only a small haircut from the entire fiasco as they have collateral worth Rs 6,500 crore from group companies, excluding the brand Kingfisher, which in good times was valued at Rs 4,200 crore.
The airline, launched in May 2005 as a gift to Vijay Mallya's son Siddharth on his 18th birthday has never made any profit and today has nearly Rs 18,000 crore which include bank loans, accumulated losses, salary arrears, vendors dues and tax dues among others.

However, Kirchner's economic and political policies have benefited the poor and some sectors of the middle class, helping her popularity to remain high in these areas.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Technology and Kids
Started by Copacetic , Feb 04 2013 04:47 PM

Posted 04 February 2013 - 04:47 PM
Over in the school thread in venting the talk has veered off to kids and technology and schools demanding that the kids have the technology.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm really excited about what's coming for education, and the change that technology brings with it.
It might because technology has played such a big part in the boys' upbringing and their SN - I can quite confidently put Caelan and Mason's ability to speak down to movies. Caelan can communicate quite effectively thanks to movies, and even turns the closed cationing on now so that he reads it rather than just watches TV. Most of Mason's language is repetitive and non communicative, but its there, and I"m pretty excited about that.
So I guess I don't really understand the resistance to the change? iPads in particular have done amazing things in our household. And I know that people had other methods in the past, but really... does it matter?
And I know when a lot of people read the above they'll be horrified that I used the TV as a learning tool (Please don't go to Misc and find out my 3 year old had pineapple fizzy drink) - believe me when I say that it really is the onle thing in the house that my boys responded to.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 04:56 PM
I am all for technology in schools. However, I have seen first hand how it works well when you have a good curriculum which also includes cyber safety etc and how it doesn't when these are no integrated well.
I do, however, have a problem with the rush to use Apple products. It is a locked in system with no room to customise. I just feel that schools should be getting the most for their limited funding and utalising systems that are much more broad and expansive then iPads.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 05:01 PM
My almost 11mth old has started to figure out the basics of my smart phone (sits there and swipes until it unlocks etc) and my 8 year old has her own laptop. So no, I'm not "resistant". The technological age is the one in which they will grow up in - learn or fall behind.
Having said that, spending time outdoors is very important to me, so I think balance is a big consideration. My kids spend probably 70% of their time outdoors, and very minimal tv (although I have zero issues if they want to watch it).

Totally agree with you there. I was looking at Microsoft's surface tablets the other day and I really like them. DH has windows 8 Installed on his PC (not a touch screen) and I keep going to swipe the screen - they've really streamlined it to a touch environment.

I should point out that both of my boys have autism, so when they latched onto something, we embraced it. They don't spend as much time as I would like outside, but then, I also accept that this is their "thing".

Posted 04 February 2013 - 05:05 PM
I have no problem with technology in schools, but I do think that balance should remain, as Mareek says. It is so very important to continue to emphasise physical health and physical learning (eg co ordination), as much as mental learning. I also think there are some good programs that incorporate the two, especially with digital devices being small and easy to take outside with you.

Oh absolutely. I would do exactly the same thing. You do what works!
Posted 04 February 2013 - 05:11 PM
I really shouldn't admit this on EB haha but I have apps on my phone for DS. Just nursery rhymes and some silly little things, he loves them!
Posted 04 February 2013 - 05:20 PM
I think they are excellent tools for learning, alongside more traditional methods. I also think it's a bit nuts to require large ticket purchases in public schools. If the school had a leasing program (a small fraction of the cost of the actual item), then I'd be fine with that. My school did the leasing bit, with option to buy outright, when we were required to have rather advanced graphing calculators in upper levels of math.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 05:25 PM
I already started seeing this when I finished school. In some wys I do like it and agree with it. I have apps on my phone for my nieces and nephews, but I do wonder if all this technology will replace handwriting. Are students going to be able to write when they leave school? How are they going to go in exams when they get to high school. I can't see the VCE board allowing iPads to do your English exam on.

Sadly handwriting was a dying art long before technology came to schools. DD has atrocious hand writing. She DOES have low tone, but there is really no emphasis on it at many schools anymore. I remember when I was a kid, my handwriting used to be exhibited at the local show, it was exciting to be as neat as you could.
Nevermind the fact that uni taught me how to use and decipher chicken scratch lol.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 05:45 PM
Having to suddenly buy 3 or 4 700$ devices is not pleasant!
One of my kid's school has a loan program. You don't pay anything (I assume it's covered in fees) and the child has a notebook for the year (or their time at the school) Technically it's owned by the school, but the child is responsible for it.
Other schools are doing the iPad scheme which I don't think is anywhere near as practical. Firstly, they are expensive, secondly the child can only have the apps the school approves of (so while you buy and own the device, you cant' use it completely as you wish) thirdly you are cotton wooled in the garden of apple! (don't get me wrong, I love my iPad, but I consider it a toy, yes some apps are educational, but in a school setting? methinks a comp. benefits more) and lastly, an iPad is not half as educational as an independent computer. Also, some kids aren't going to get one, so the whole class won't be in tune.
Schools also need more internet education I believe. My children are largely not taught how to search the internet correctly, how to reference, how to fact check etc. They all seem to believe that any question can be answered in 2.3 seconds on Google. They have no patience for research, and too too often I have heard one of them say "The teacher say it will do" when referring to some (in my opinion) dodgy site. I study online, and I think technology is brilliant, but I may spend hours researching one tiny fact. Kids need to understand that true accuracy takes time. The internet may cut out the drive to the library, the phonecall and wait for posted info., or the need to read an actual book, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is a tool for instant answers.
I'd like to see the rise in technology use at school go along with a rise in a proper education on how to best use this technology.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 06:01 PM
In a similar situation to you OP, in that DS#1 has learnt so much from the educational apps on the ipod. Simple things like the alphabet, number recognition, colours, sounds and sight words.
It has almost been like his own personal tutor.

While I think it is important to still learn handwriting, I can absolutely see the VCE board (or equivalent in others states) allowing iPads and other technology to complete English examinations. This will happen sooner than you think. NAPLAN testing is being trialled online already and is scheduled to become completely online by 2015. Students sit PAT reading and writing tests online now. I work in an online school, most of our tests are conducted online. If students are still handwriting exams in 10 years time I will eat my hat.

I agree. And yes, it's a dying art. But old methods making way for new is hardly a new phenomena. Some people will inevitably grumble and groan, but we move forward and embrace the "new way". I really don't see the big deal. Except that we are in the older generation, and like all generations, like to lament "the way things used to be"
Posted 04 February 2013 - 06:20 PM
I don't lament anything, the future of education is incredibly exciting!
But yes, I know what you mean. After working in education for many years I have very much come to the conclusion that people have a strong fear of change.

I like technology, and use it a lot. Probably too much. I think technology in moderation in schools is a good thing, but I do worry about how large amounts of screen time affect the brain, so it really depends on how much time they are expected to spend on devices.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 07:06 PM
I love technology, and love the kids getting to access many forms of it, my son is very IT savy (actually ends up showing some teachers how and what to do lol) and he can change easily between Apple based and windows based systems and is now getting into the nitty gritty of Android apps and platforms etc and is looking at learning how to write them etc all at the tender age of 11..
Where I have an issue is when you are Hassled into you using a sole provider who has tendered to the schools etc and charges an overly inflated cost both to lease or buy outright. I know of a school in my local area where they HAD to sign on to the school provider, if they supplied their own etc they were not able to get access to the programs etc, these were at a hugely inflated price as you could go to any one of many providers and get a similar if not identical system for less and guess what... The company providing the laptops has gone into receivership and the parents are out of pocket for lap tops they have paid for and the kids don't have them.. I believe a better system would be to give parents the minimum specs for the laptop they will need and then have a levy for access to the programs they need to access in much the same way you pay for text books and indirectly for access to class sets.
My 3 year old is so at home on his siblings and my tablets, Ipods etc is is scary.
One thing a lot of schools are now doing in reducing the amount of time/ input needed to laptops in the senior years and going back to handwriting as there was an issue a couple of years ago where kids were having trouble being able to "write" for 3 hours in exams...I am sure there will always be a degree of handwriting as even the latest and greatest technology is only that when it works, there will always be the need to do otherwise even if it is a JIC thing.

I love technology and embrace all innovation.
My daughter is 7 and has an iPad, an iPod and a laptop computer (which she rarely uses).
She certainly is not "addicted" to them. She prefers after school to play mums and dads/ teachers/ lego / craft. But the technology is there for what it is good for.
She has virtual playmates with her cousin. They FaceTime each other and play for an hour or so (till batteries run out) - doing craft, showing each other their pictures etc. As an only child, this is a very good social interaction for my child.
As a school principal I strongly believe in use of technology. We have iPads in use at school. Kids with low vision can use the iPad to photograph what is on the whiteboard and enlarge it right in front of themselves. Kids with autism use the iPads to interact with their peers / write without stress.
We use iPads across all year levels for drill and practice and for creativity.
Sure, handwriting is on the slide, but it has been for many years anyway. We still teach it, we still have handwriting books, but it is no longer the only way to communicate. I rarely handwrite these days. I communicate using my computer or iPad.
Technology opens so many doors, offers so many opportunities, breaks down so many barriers.
There are some negatives of course, but the positive wins.
P.S. The iPads at our school are school owned iPads.

DD is only 2.5, so not in a school environment, but she has learned a lot using our iPad.
I would have preferred she didn't know how to use it so well, but when I was pregnant with DS & suffering HG, it was the best way to keep her close enough while I tried not to spew.
She learned her alphabet, numbers 1-20(now40) and a heap of her vocabulary from various kids apps. Obviously, we would continue it as we'll, and we keep developing her skills and knowledge without the iPad, but it's really helped her develop lots of things.
She's now moved on to our computers (when we aren't looking), but knows how to get to Facebook to look at photos of herself!

Maybe if you went for cheaper Android or Windows based tablets schools may have funds for other things. I would think all government schools should be looking for value for money, and I am not convinced Apple iPads are value for money. I see no function you have described that could not be performed on a vastly cheaper machine.
Maybe Apple are providing subsidies?
Sorry, last rant about Apple, but I liken it to the government buying BMW's instead of Toyota's, sure the BMW is nicer to look at and has a few more gizmos but the Toyota does the job and is cheaper to buy and run.

A couple of reasons why we have apple products:
1. They were ahead of the game. iPads were the first and we went with them early on, so want to continue with the operating system.
2. My department of education has a buying agreement for Apple products, giving good value for money and support.
3. They remain, at this stage, the simplest to use. My DP has an android tablet and the apple is much easier.
4. More apps. There are far more apps available at this stage for Apple. That is rapidly changing, but still true.
THere is not a huge difference in price between a good quality android tablet and an iPad.
(and besides, apple products are divine to use.... I have at home an iMac, Macbook air, 3 x iPads, iPhone and iPod...)
Posted 04 February 2013 - 07:49 PM
Our school is in its second year of the iPad program. DD did FYOS last year and had an iPad for school. I think the main reason why they went with Apple was because when they were doing their research and weighing up the pros and cons (2 plus years ago) there wasn't really a competitor to the iPad the had access to as many apps.
IMO the program is a bit unnecessary for P-3, but on the other hand it is good that all the kids have access to the same thing so there is no jealousy etc - it is just seen as normal. At our school it is not compulsory, but I think that probably all the kids have one.
We had the choice of leasing through the school or buying outright. We bought outright and can put whatever apps we want on it (providing they are not inappropriate for school).
Posted 04 February 2013 - 08:00 PM
Apple products are very user friendly. But it still sucks (if not school owned) for people to have to buy a certain type of type with no ability to tailor it to what works best for the family..
I think e-readers could be put to great use. I'd rather buy an e-reader once for $200 for a child, than have to pay 200$ every year for text-books. Of course the screens would perhaps need to be a bit larger, smaller e-readers aren't great for text books.
Imagine the trees we'd save! And back-aches.
Hopefully at some point, they could come up with a scheme that doesn't lock students and parents into a particular brand, or type of device.

My quick thoughts....
A couple of reasons why we have apple products:
1. They were ahead of the game. iPads were the first and we went with them early on, so want to continue with the operating system.
Ahh early adopters beware! (putting aside that touchscreen tablets have been around for 10 years at least...just not popularised by Apple) I would also hope that all government departments would consider carefully before jumping onto a new product or educational tool prior to a thorough assessment over a good period of time.
I have a convertible tablet/laptop running Windows 8 - the laptop still gives me a richer, more functional experience then any tablet, so remain unconvinced what "extra" the tablet gives over the laptop.
2. My department of education has a buying agreement for Apple products, giving good value for money and support.
This makes some more sense, but I would hope the department has a policy to continue to review this decision and also considered the longer term ramifications of entering a "walled garden" with Apple.
3. They remain, at this stage, the simplest to use. My DP has an android tablet and the apple is much easier.
I beg to differ, but I guess this is subjective
4. More apps. There are far more apps available at this stage for Apple. That is rapidly changing, but still true.
Already untrue, Android already has more apps, and I have not yet seen an example of an app being used in the classroom I have not seen provided by other platforms. Happy to be shown otherwise.

You know my little Johnny has been great at watching TV since he was 2! We have a Samsung TV which is the best because it's so easy to use - a baby can use it! Little Johnny figured out how to record his favourite TV program today so I know this is a sure sign he will be a brilliant TV producer one day!
It just doesn't work that way. Just because you are teaching your children to consume technology doesn't mean they will be able to use the technology for the betterment of human-kind. The worst technology to be pushing children is the Apple family followed closely by the Windows family. You can thank the Open Source philosophies for driving the production of technology that has helped build much of the technology we enjoy and love today. Closed
source philosophies choke innovation. Apple and Windows are the worst culprits. In summary, Linux rocks and teddy bears with the words "We Love Open Source" should be created for everyone to cuddle at night.
Teaching children to use technology to solve problems and not be a victim of technology, however, requires a lot more than placing an iPad in their hands and getting it to teach them their ABCs. Teaching needs to include many aspects of technology that cannot be easily learned by pecking away at a keyboard or swiping a touch screen. Topics I think are important include:
- The development technology from a historical perspective.
- Understanding how it is being used today to solve difficult problems and improve workplace efficiency.
- How computing is used in modelling data. Using examples such as climate modelling to financial trading, and even how it can impact research results when programs used to interpret data are not open to peer review.
- The teaching of the Open Source philosophy and why it is important that such a vibrant community exists and continues to thrive.
- Discussions on epistemology must feature in high schools now because how we know what we know is becoming more murky because of technology and it is an area that requires in depth discussion. Using a case study to investigate the nature of Google ranking algorithms should feature in such a topic (I got news for you - it's a tightly kept closed source secret with webmasters around the world only able to speculate on how it actually works). The best you can hope for when covering such a subject is that children understand the complexity of trying to mine the truth out of the Internet.
- How the personal information that you think is only of interest to you friends is being mined for advertising and sold. A historical look at Facebook's privacy policy changes and how they are using your personal information would be a nice one to include here. Also it should cover the unauthorised use of other people's images or personal information on the Internet. My personal favourite would include: do parents own their children's personal information/imagery?
- How criminals use technology to defraud people and the rise of cyber warfare.
- How human behaviours differ in presence of technology. For example, there was an interesting study that was showing that people may be starting to remember how they found information on a particular subject but not the actual information itself. How human interaction can be enhanced and fragmented by the use of technology.
Many of these concepts would not be applicable until children are in high school but once children are using Google to research school projects, some basic forms of this material needs to be in place.
So against this "general knowledge" approach to technology education, you can teach the more "maths in society" types of topics such as :
- Using spreadsheets to track finances,
- Using *cough* Windows types of macros to automate monotonous, time-consuming tasks
- Using document editors to create pretty resumes
- And of course some kind of specialist subject for children wanting to pursue a career in technology production which should include the software development process (agile to waterfall). Pracs could include the more traditional writing of a computer program to make it say "Hello World" on Windows, Apple, Android and Linux or designing a website using Open Source technology or writing scripts to bulk process text/image files etc.
But really my point is that the teaching of technology is not really about using technology but equipping our children with the skills to be able to critically think about how technology is used in their lives, how it can be used to harm, and how it can be used to benefit human-kind. We are all in danger of succumbing to a mass delusion induced by technological naivety and that is what we need our education system to arm our children against.

Southland sprint cyclist 'undisputed king of gym'
Relevant offers
Other Sports
Judging by the numbers, track cyclist Matt Archibald is one of the most physically gifted athletes in New Zealand.
The Southland sprinter is currently with the New Zealand track cycling team in the United States, preparing for July's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Archibald is the undisputed king of the gym in the BikeNZ set-up at the Avantidrome in Cambridge.
In fact, his efforts on the leg press, squat, vertical jump and box jump would be hard to beat in any gym in the country.
At 94 kilograms, Archibald is all muscle. His work in the gym is all about high weights and quick reps, working on that explosive speed that is vital to his work on the track bike.
It starts with his leg press, where he runs through three sets of five, increasing the weight each new set.
Starting at 440kg seemed impressive enough as the Waikato Times watched on.
Then he increased it to 560kg for the second set, and by the end Archibald had 640kg loaded onto the machine.
The whole gym stopped to watch him belt out the set.
Archibald insists that wasn't even a personal best, it was just part of normal strength training.
His personal best with the squat is 260kg, nearly three times his own body weight.
Compare those numbers to the efforts of the Chiefs Super Rugby franchise, and Archibald is a physical freak.
"Our best guys to compare is Pauliasi Manu," Chiefs strength and conditioning coach Phil Healey said.
"He does a 260kg squat, but then he is 114kg, he's a big prop."
The strongest Chief around Archibald's size is Tim Nanai-Williams, who Healey said belts out 250kg squats, and weighs around 87kg.
"We focus on strength, but a lot is on endurance as well. If our guys were to focus on the strength, I'm sure Pauliasi could do 300kg squats, but that's not what they're built for.
"In saying that, those are pretty impressive numbers from [Archibald]. I'm sure he could do more too if that was the only focus."
The Chiefs don't measure efforts on the leg press, though neither do the cyclists.
Sprint cyclists work on getting the most out of their explosive legs, and do measure their leaping ability, which translates to their power out of the gates.
Archibald, naturally, is the best jumper in the New Zealand group.
His box jump is a staggering 1.65m, more than that of shot putter Jacko Gill and the same height as singer and actress Selena Gomez.
Then there is his standing jump of 81cm which would have been equal best in the 2010 NBA Draft alongside Los Angeles Lakers basketballer Wesley Johnson, and is well above average in the NBA.
That power and explosiveness certainly helps on the bike, as Archibald is one of the only Kiwis to have clocked a flying 250m lap in under 10 seconds.
To think that despite his physical abilities, Archibald can't crack into the World Champion New Zealand sprint team, containing Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins.
New Zealand have five world class sprinters heading to Glasgow, including Archibald and Keirin specialist Simon van Velthooven, showing the depth in the current set-up.
It's nice knowing the team have that kind of strength pushing them to success in Glasgow.

Very pleased with the service. Shortly after ordering skates, I got an email advising me to go up a size as they are small fitting. Had I not been told this, would have had ordered skates too small for me. They were very quick to respond to any question that I had. I was advised which colours were available, not like other places where it says online that available and a day later get an email saying that they're not. Would highly recommend.
