In Japan, 'grown-up recordings' (アダルトビデオ AV) are recognized from 'pink movies' from one viewpoint, and 'V-silver screen' or unique video (オリジナル・ビデオ OV) on the other. Grown-up recordings are centered around sex, and may not now and again have a storyline. They are discharged at first on Japanese Adult Videos, and pass examination by a grown-up video morals panel, for example, NEVA (Nihon Ethics of Video Association) or Eizourin (映像倫理機構 Eizou Rinri Kikou) which uphold mosaics over pubic hair or genitalia. Pink movies might be worried with sex, however tend to concentrate more on story, and they are appraised by Eirin (Eiga Rinri Kanri Iinkai 映画倫理管理委員会) instead of a grown-up video morals association. The standard studio Nikkatsu concentrated on pink movies through its Roman Porno line from 1971 through 1988. V-silver screen or OV additionally tend to concentrate on a story, however sex if present is less focal, and they are discharged on video to be shown in video stores or rental shops close by standard movies. Many V-film works are delivered by video-centered auxiliaries of the huge film studios, e.g. SHV Cinema for Shochiku. OV can be appraised by the Eirin or Eizourin relying upon the substance.
This is an ordered history of the JAV Porn online industry in Japan. The headliners applicable to the AV business are examined for every year, and also prominent introductions. Names are given in Western request (i.e., family name second), and arranged by family name.
In the late 1960s, the 'pink film', or porno market in Japan was to a great extent the domain of low-spending plan autonomous organizations. The significant studios, Daiei, Nikkatsu, Shochiku, Toei and Toho tended to concentrate on story-based movies with little nakedness or sex.
Sony discharged its first U-matic video tape recorders, giving an early contrasting option to dramatic film. Film required creating while tape could be played back directly subsequent to recording. The high cost of the U-matics constrained their utilization primarily to TV studios and news groups.

Looking to draw in another crowd, Toei entered the sexploitation market in 1971 with its "Pinky Violence" series.[1] Takashi Itamochi, president of Nikkatsu, Japan's most established significant film studio, settled on the choice to put the organization's high creation qualities and expert ability into the grown-up, or 'pink film' industry as a method for pulling in another gathering of people. At the point when Nikkatsu propelled its Roman Porno arrangement in November 1971 with the Apartment Wife arrangement, these regularly well-made and masterful softcore sexual movies demonstrated prevalent with both the general population and the faultfinders. This presentation of erotica into standard Japanese motion picture theaters has been credited with sparing Nikkatsu from breakdown at that time.[2] Nikkatsu delivered only 'Roman Porno' movies for the following 17 years, discharging a normal of three such movies a month.[3]
Other substantial studios, for example, Shintōhō Eiga and Million Films would take after Nikkatsu into the enormous spending plan 'pink film',[4] yet Nikkatsu remained the predominant maker of high-generation dramatic erotic entertainment in Japan.

Sony discharges its first Betamax video tape recorder. It was less expensive than the U-matic, and opened up the potential outcomes for individuals to purchase them for home use.
JVC discharges its first VHS video tape recorder. For various years after, there was a configuration war amongst VHS and betamax for the purchaser market with VHS in the long run winning out.
The morals association is renamed the Nihon Ethics of Video Association (日本ビデオ倫理協会 Nihon Bideo Rinri Kyoukai), and appends its NEVA stamp to endorsed recordings. NEVA obliges creators to put in extensive checkered mosaics over pubic hair and private parts.
Grown-up magazine distributer Kuki Inc.(九鬼) discharged its first grown-up video.

Palo Alto Stories September 19, 2014
Apple's leadership is out in full force today for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launch across the globe.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has been spotted at the company's local Apple Store in Palo Alto, California, to be a part of the crowd and watch the new iPhone debut. Cook reportedly joked with the crowd saying he got the new iPhone several months ago. As evident by Twitter, the Apple CEO has shared in the excitement by taking selfies with the crowd.
On the other side of the world, Apple's recently appointed SVP of Retail and Online Stores Angela Ahrendts helped kick off the new iPhones launch in Sydney, Australia, where the iPhone went on sale at 8 am local time several hours ago.
Palo Alto Stories June 17, 2013
ifoAppleStore (via TechCrunch) reports that Apple is building a new "big, visually stunning" flagship store in Palo Alto – in the Stanford shopping center, close to the store Microsoft opened last year.
This store design was completed in 2011 by Apple's long-time architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. It was approved by Steve Jobs about six months before Tim Cook assumed the position of CEO in August of that year. It took another year to refine the design and obtain building approvals. Demolition on the former building began late last year.
If you're keen to get a preview of what Apple has planned for its retail stores, Palo Alto is reputedly the place to be … expand full story
Palo Alto Stories October 24, 2012
We knew Apple had a beautiful new glass store planned for Palo Alto when plans were discovered last year, but Apple made things official today by announcing a Oct. 27 grand opening for the new location at 340 University Ave. Apple sent out the email above (via FoneArena) to inform customers the store will open at 10 a.m. local time, and the first 1,000 people will get commemorative T-shirts. The 15,030-square-foot store is located just a couple blocks from the old location, which was Steve Jobs' neighborhood Apple Store, and was expected to cost $3.15 million. We'll bring you more this weekend with images of the new store during its grand opening.

BLOGGING TODAY - "Changing Seasons"
As the season's change, nature gives us the manifestation witht he changing color or falling of leaves; with consistent temperature changes, etc. As with the seasons of nature, we go through what seems like seasons in our lives.
As with the changing of nature's seasons, our clothing must change so we could be matched for the weather. In our lives, we must also make adjustments in life's seasons. We must recognize that the seasons are changing and make the adjustments if we are to stay healthy.
If nature's season is freezing and we don't wear warm clothing, we could become sick. If its hot and we have on too much clothing we could be overcome by heat. In life's seasons, if we dont move according to the season, we could find ourselves spiritually, emotionally, or mentally unhealthy.
Know the seasons and make the adjustment!

When it comes to protecting Americans from al Qaeda, "the buck stops here," President Obama proclaims.
Obama's apologists in the media are finding that too close for comfort.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, for example, offered this novel analysis on the underlying cause of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab nearly bringing down Northwest Flight 253 over Detroit --
MADDOW: Moments after the president was done speaking, his administration's official review of what went wrong was released. Now much of what's in this report we've known for days. The information was available. We had it but the analysis wasn't done, the dots weren't connected. It was a broad failure of the counter-terrorism system but the system itself is not fundamentally broken.
What the review points to is 'a series of human errors' and while this detail is not included in the report specifically, NBC News has learned tonight of a startlingly small human error that allowed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board that US-bound plane on Christmas Day. A senior State Department official is telling NBC News tonight that a simple, very simple misspelling of Abdulmutallab's name was the reason no one realized he had a visa to enter the United States, which should have sent alarm bells ringing.
According to this official, one letter was dropped from Mr. Abdulmutallab's name when an employee cross-checked his name against a government database. Now this happened back on Nov. 20. Had Mr. Abdulmutallab's name been entered correctly, officials apparently would have seen that he was classified as a possible terrorist and then the fact that he also had a visa to enter the United States would have kicked him over into what they call a 3B classification. A 3B classification would have kept him from boarding the plane. One letter in his name.
Cue the voice of Maxwell Smart ... missed it by that much.
Just as the sinking of the Titanic could be attributed to lookouts in the crow's nest not having binoculars. As opposed to, for example, the commander at the helm not taking a perilous threat more seriously.
Or the JFK assassination being blamed on a scheduling error -- rather than on the unabashed left-winger who pulled the trigger.
More damage control from Maddow followed on Thursday's show as she disparaged Republicans for the audacity of criticizing a wartime president -- something liberals so rarely did with Bush (second part of embedded video, after remarks by Obama) --
OBAMA: Every one of us, every American, every elected official can do our part. Instead of giving in to cynicism and division, let's move forward with the confidence and optimism and unity that defines us as a people. For now is not a time for partisanship, it's a time for citizenship. A time to come together and work together with the seriousness of purpose that our national security demands.
MADDOW: Turns out not everyone's on board with that. Unless you think coming together in a non-partisan way as citizens and showing a seriousness of purpose about national security means blaming the problem of terrorism on health care reform. Really. An actual politician actually did that today. A United States senator, in fact.
Really, no, a United States senator didn't say that, as a shameless Maddow showed by quoting what Republican John Cornyn of Texas actually said -- "I worry that the president's preoccupation with health care and other domestic issues has distracted him from what should be the fundamental role of our chief executive: keeping our nation and its citizenry safe from harm."
Is Maddow so dishonest to argue that fighting terrorism has been a bigger priority to Obama than his feverish focus on an alleged crisis in health care? To do so is akin to claiming that last summer's angry public forums on health reform were animated by Obama's decision to close Gitmo. Who is she kidding, aside from MSNBC's most ardent viewers?
More Maddow misdirection from Thursday's show --
MADDOW: Today Republicans from John Cornyn to Michael Steele to Pete the human sieve Hoekstra to John Boehner to Michele Bachmann to Mike Rogers to even little Todd Tiahrt, for crying out loud, all put out statements attacking President Obama on terrorism, within moments of the president's remarks. As I said, John Cornyn's statement used terrorism to argue against health reform. Michael Steele's statement said Obama needs to recognize that terrorism is a threat, because he doesn't?
... Maddow pondered in the form of a question, thereby bolstering Steele's premise.
MADDOW: Pete Hoekstra's statement said he wants more intel released about Fort Hood. This coming from the guy who was too busy campaigning for governor in Michigan to actually attend a congressional briefing on Fort Hood.
... while it remains unclear whether Maddow wants more or less intel released about Fort Hood, but seeing how she's so busy flacking for Obama, I'd venture to say it's the latter. The only time Maddow mentions Fort Hood anymore is after Hoekstra does.
MADDOW: John Boehner's statement said the administration has reverted to a pre-9/11 mentality as evidenced by the Obama administration trying the underpants bomber in civilian court. Just like the Bush administration did after 9/11.
... an allusion to shoebomber Richard Reid being tried in civilian court. But as the Wall Street Journal pointed out in its lead editorial Jan. 6, "Reid was captured only months after 9/11 when the system of military commissions wasn't in place," a distinction lost on Maddow.
MADDOW: Michele Bachmann's statement said something I'm sorry to say was incomprehensible about lawyering up ...
... but why risk elaborating further when Maddow can gratuitously disparage a GOP rising star?
MADDOW: Mike Roger's statement said the Obama administration isn't committed to defeating terrorism and little Todd Tiahrt put out a statement saying Janet Napolitano should resign and it was God that stopped the underpants bomber. No really, he said it was God who stopped the underpants bomber. And I'm quoting, 'Were it not for an act of God, hundreds of lives would have been lost and our nation paralyzed. The time has come for Secretary Napolitano to immediately resign.'
Did you notice that there were no ellipses there? That's just, that's the way it went, that statement. That's really what he said. Janet Napolitano should resign and God gets a medal.
... how dare Tiahrt make such a concise, unambiguous statement, to say nothing of publicly invoking a deity other than Allah ... smite him!
MADDOW: You know, it's not like there were a ton of really rational responses from the Republican Party that I ignored in order to come up with this little compilation. This was pretty much the response from the opposition party today to the president's announcement on terrorism. This is what they've got to offer -- God did it, Obama doesn't want to stop terrorism, when Bush did what Obama's doing I was OK with it, something inexplicable about lawyering up, and can we stop health reform now? That's what they're offering on terrorism.
And Maddow's response to Flight 253? Laughable apologia for Napolitano's "system worked" lunacy. Yes, the system worked nicely -- just ask "Mr." Abdulmutallab.

Aussies know how to rock. Seriously. In the grand tradition of AC/DC (and legendary British bruisers Motorhead), Airbourne brought their high-flying twin-guitar stunt show to the Pageant stage on Friday night in support of Bullet For My Valentine.
The entire band was in perpetual motion from the second they sprinted on stage and they barely paused for a breath during their entire 40 minute set. If their music career ever goes sour, surely they can put out a kick ass rock-n-roll fitness video.

The Feds Shouldn't Compound Solly's Follyby
The Salomon Brothers Inc. Treasury bond scandal has been an educational experience for everyone concerned. In the year since Solly contritely admitted to overbidding for Treasury notes, the Street has been shown that a little creative groveling can go a long way.
Even the bureaucrats have been taught a lesson: The Treasury Dept., Federal Reserve, and Securities & Exchange Commission have learned that the hands-off approach does not work. Regulators have beefed up their scrutiny of the bond auctions, improved auction procedures--and warned that they will act fast to stamp out bond-trading abuses.
Alas, the newfound regulatory activism does not end there. Treasury is moving beyond technical changes and considering a fundamental alteration in the process by which government bonds are sold at auction. And that's a shame, because it indicates that the bureaucrats haven't learned a crucial lesson of the Salomon scandal: When the Street talks, regulators should listen. If they were listening now, they would realize that no further tinkering with the auctions is necessary.
NO MORE SQUEEZES? The regulators seem to have forgotten the root cause of the Salomon scandal: the "short squeeze." By overbidding for two-year and five-year Treasury notes, Salomon wound up dominating the supply of the notes. That led to a shortage of the securities, which raised prices and thus hurt short-sellers, who were betting on a price decline. (Salomon has admitted to overbidding, but not to intentionally causing a short squeeze.)
The Treasury Dept., to its credit, has come down hard on short squeezes. The agency has stated that when an "acute, protracted shortage" of a bond or note issue develops, it will provide additional quantities of the security to the marketplace, through an auction or otherwise.
Traders who get hurt by short squeezes, and who were the first to blow the whistle on Salomon Brothers, now say that shortages in Treasury securities still occur--but as a result of natural market forces, not market manipulation. "Now you get the feeling that the feds will step in and do something about it," says one government bond arbitrageur.
By taking steps such as this, andby increasing surveillance of the market, regulators have restored investor confidence in the government bond market. Plans to automate the auctions are also a step in the right direction. That can't be said for another Treasury initiative, however. In a case of bureaucratic auto-pilot, Treasury is going an unnecessary step further by trying out a new method of auctioning bonds.
Right now, Treasury uses a "multiple price" method. Sealed bids are submitted, and the lowest interest-rate bids are accepted. Thus, different "winning" bidders wind up with disparate yields. In the months ahead, the agency will be experimenting with a kind of single-price auction--commonly known as a "Dutch auction."
Here, the auctioneer makes awards at the highest yield necessary to sell all the bonds. Let's say the Treasury has $10 billion in bonds for sale and the lowest-yielding bids are as follows: $4 billion at 5.5%, $3 billion at 5.55%, $3 billion at 5.6%, and another $3 billion at 5.65% and higher. All bidders at 5.6% or less would get 5.6%. Under the present system, only the bidders at 5.6% would get that yield, the other successful bidders would get lower yields--the so-called "winners' curse."
DUBIOUS BENEFITS. Not surprisingly, bond dealers like the idea. They note that eliminating the winner's curse would encourage more "aggressive" low-yield bids, since "bidders would never wind up with lower-yielding bonds than other bidders," says Lee Olesky, vice-president of the Public Securities Assn., the Treasury bond dealers trade group. Proponents say Dutch auctions would also reduce the possibility of bid rigging--as bidders would have less need to compare notes before the auction to avoid being awarded too low a yield.
But the advantages of this system are dubious at best. In a joint report on the Treasury market last January, the SEC, Treasury, and Federal Reserve concluded that there is little evidence to support the view that Dutch auctions present a clear financial advantage for the Treasury.
What's more, the regulators acknowledged that Dutch auctions could provide an incentive to corner the market. Right now, a bidder who wants to do so must settle for a lower yield to ensure that the bid is accepted. So it can cost big bucks to manipulate the market. In light of the Salomon scandal, you'd think the last thing regulators would want to do is make life easier for unscrupulous traders.
On balance, regulators have done a fine job of fixing the auction system. Why risk breaking it?

Why are you the only person who has filed such report? I question if there is possible animosity that he is successful and popular in his field...? I ask why would you not contact Twitter direct if you want to verify your Twitter account, in my opinion it is silly to accept an anonymous persons business proposition without investigating first. Hence I assume you as silly.
Why would you conduct your IP investigation after the fact? There are programs that are currently used to 'bounce' IP addreses. Is it possible you just landed on his or perhaps he has been his accounts hacked? I dont think it fair or justified that you accost persons via internet where world can see how stupid one is and that you set out to ruin a decent persons reputation.
Also your homophobic tendencies are not welcome in our society. It proves your malice anger and lack of knowledge regarding internet/computers/fraud. Hope you find happiness in life. Peace out.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Tatts ups ante in index bid
Page Tools
TATTERSALL'S is trying to convince Standard & Poor's it rates inclusion in the index manager's key benchmarks by suggesting share turnover remains rampant.
The gaming and lotteries giant's managing director, Duncan Fischer, said more than 250 million shares had changed hands since its July 7 listing.
"This represents over 50 per cent of the company's shares on issue," he said in a statement to the market. "When we listed on the ASX, we welcomed 28,000 new shareholders and today there are over 40,000."
Trading activity in Tatts exploded in the first week of its listing as the original beneficiaries of the George Adams' estate looked to cash in on the considerable public interest in one of the largest and most tightly held floats of the year.
But after 300 million shares changed hands in the first three weeks of trading, volumes have since dried up. In the three weeks to last night, an average of just 3.1 million shares were traded each day, or less than 0.5 per cent of Tatts' capital.
S&P has already begun monitoring the stock to ensure it meets the two key requirements of liquidity and free float (the proportion of shares held by investors able to trade).
Tatts is likely to overcome the minimum free-float threshold of 30 per cent because, despite the apparent reluctance of some original owners to sell, none of Tatts' shareholders are technically prevented from doing so. It is less certain it can pass S&P's liquidity test, which involves several mathematical equations.
A decision may be made as early as next week when S&P holds its September index review meeting.
At stake for Tatts are millions of dollars in potential investment from fund managers who will need to "re-weight" their portfolios to reflect Tatts' position among the nation's largest public companies. To stay a part of the indices, Tatts will have to prove it can maintain sufficient liquidity.
Tatts shares finished 7¢ higher at $3.16 yesterday.

Date of Stay: July, 2013
We've trusted KOA and visited more than 10 on this two month cross country trip. This KOA is by far the worst we've found. The shower heads were clogged, the dumpster was open and full, the pool was green and dirty, and we saw no KOA staff in the campground during our visit. The office is really a convenience store associated with a gas station, and the KOA tag doesn't seem warranted or appropriate. I would avoid this campground and will not camp here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
We loved this campground because it felt like more of a campground than an RV Park, although the fact that the campground was only part full may have been a factor. It is surrounded by wooded parkland with trails and a nature center which includes a bird blind to watch the dozens of birds species which inhabit the park.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Richfield KOA is a well maintained campground with very friendly and helpful owners. We thought of it as an oasis compared to the previous few sites we had stayed, and we loved our quiet, shaded site.

What's The Impact Of Content Marketing In The B2B Marketing Mix?
Posted by Laura Ramos on March 25, 2016
- 60 Recommendations
- 0 comments
I have a confession to make. I love talking with B2B marketers and clients, but there is one question I get occasionally that really makes me crazy. (And you will hear an earful if you are unfortunate enough to ask it.)
"Laura, which B2B marketing tactic works the best?"
And I'm thinking, "Do I look like the Lone Ranger?"
(Silver bullets? Get it?)
(Silver bullets? Get it?)
To be fair, when marketers ask me "What works best?" I don't really think they are looking for a simple and seemingly magical solution to a complicated problem. Most just want to validate their current choices and ensure they haven't overlooked other viable approaches. But when 87% of B2B marketers say they struggle to develop compelling content, no amount of messing around with the mix will create a significant improvement in results.
And now I have research to support that position. Forrester's recent report on the state of the B2B marketing mix reveals a couple of very interesting results:
- When it comes to brand building and demand generation, a majority of B2B marketers agree: "Nothing works well all the time." Not one of the 17 approaches we asked marketers to grade earned a "very effective" rating from a majority of respondents. Only two were rated as highly effective by even 47% of respondents.
- Content marketing stands alone as the most popular and most effective tactic. This underscores its premier importance to achieving a productive B2B marketing mix.
Simply put, what you have to say is more important than which channel or tactic you use to say it.
Successful content marketing in B2B starts with the realization that content is not just another campaign asset, but the means to start, and maintain, important business relationships with buyers.
For this reason it's so important to measure your content marketing progress across four dimensions that help you track its impact on the business, and not just on corralling prospective buyers.
In "Make Sales Efficiency A Key Addition To Your B2B Content Marketing Metrics," we outline a framework for measuring B2B content success based on:
- Content performance. This is the consumption, interaction, and reproduction of the content itself. It can also create brand awareness, even affinity, at a similar level to traditional advertising.
- Audience performance. This is customer response to content that brings them closer to your brand and offers.
- Sales efficiency. This is the ability to have more successful interactions with leads in less time. Audience-centric provides the link that runs from the start of the conversation with marketing to a closed deal by sales.
- Business performance. This is the contribution of content-based interactions to business outcomes.
If you want to ensure your content pays off well, then make measurement part of you content strategy and execution and keep your eye on all four framework elements, not just the first.
If you would like to know more about taking a more holistic/programmatic approach to content marketing, consider joining April Henderson, Director, Market Impact Consulting here at Forrester, and me on April 21 at 2 pm ET/ 11 am PT for a complimentary online event (i.e webinar) on "Measuring The Impact of B2B Content Marketing" to learn how you can maximize your content program value with Forrester's partnership.
Hope to "see" you then!

I, James Woodard (Jimmy), am a student and freelance web designer/technology consultant, currently living in Manchester, Vermont (Southern VT.) As you may know, I'm really a technology and music driven person. Unlike the stereotype for tech enthusiasts, I'm not an extreme video gamer or film addict (I'm more like casual gamer… don't worry!); when my friends were interested in playing video games, I was interested in how the video games worked. While my friends were watching a movie, I was thinking, "I wonder what kind of equipment was used to film this." From a young age I constantly wanted to know how things worked – I've always been a "hands-on" "take things apart" type of person. During elementary school, I was given the chance to take apart the old computers and build one good one out of all the parts I had taken out – I think that is when I realized how much passion I had for technology. From about fourth grade on, teachers and students knew me as the go-to-guy for any technology- related problems.
I started my own technology consulting business, Woodard Technology Services, the summer before my freshman year of high school (2009) troubleshooting & repairing computers, networks, home entertainment; providing tech instruction to seniors; building websites and doing graphic design work for both personal clients and businesses – the business has now grown to over 300 accounts including businesses, professionals, adults, and senior citizens. In addition, I'm on technology committees for many local organizations. As you can tell, I really enjoy spending my time with people.
Some of my hobbies and interests include digital photography (Canon SLR Camera), Skiing, being a Car Enthusiast, DJ-ing (I have done weddings and countless school dances), Audio Production and Sound Engineering, Amateur Radio, and I also play the Trumpet and Piano occasionally. I love listening to and creating music of all genres.
Hope to meet you soon!

This is a discussion on Best place to purchase H&K P2000 Magazines within the Related Gear & Equipment forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Any ideas?...
Any ideas?
Thanks I just ordered from them $15 for 10 round mags. Everywhere else was between $30-50. Thank you very much.
Your welcome. HK mags are pricey, that's where I found my P7 PSP mags for $35.00, they HAD some factory demo mags, sad to say they are sold out of them, I should have bought a couple more, now I'm looking at about $50 a pop.

"We currently believe that the Group is well-positioned to again deliver increased earnings in the 2011 financial year," Breville chairman John Schmoll told the company's annual general meeting on Wednesday.
"The Christmas trading period is key to the Group's results, not only in the first half but for the full year result," Mr Schmoll said.
"Performance to the end of October is in line with expectations, but we are not in a position to provide more definitive guidance until after the Christmas sales period."
Breville posted net profit of $22.6 million in financial 2010, up 92.1 per cent on the previous corresponding period. Underlying profit rose 65 per cent to $28.5 million in the year ended June 30.
"This is an excellent result and was achieved despite the challenging economic conditions within the various markets that the group operates," Mr Schmoll told the meeting.
Breville chief executive Steve Audsley said the company's international business, particularly in north America and Europe, delivered a significant lift in earnings compared to the prior year.
"On a constant currency basis, international sales increased in Australian dollars by 10.4 per cent," Mr Audsley said.
Mr Audsley said a stronger balance sheet provided a solid base for the company.

The Internet's been abuzz with news that Intel's long-term roadmap for manycore devices like Xeon Phi, or its predecessor Intel Labs design, the so-called Single-Chip Cloud Computer (SCC) , would likely include 48-core devices for the smartphone market.
Why would a smartphone need manycore? Lots of reasons, potentially.
The reason most-cited by Intel engineers is the need for parallel support of applications, alongside a vastly-expanded palette of OS-provided UI and I/O services, many of which are computationally-intensive. The usual suspects: speech recognition and gesture recognition, but with little concrete about how these features might evolve over the next few years. Herewith, some speculation…
Growing importance of speech recognition …
Speech recognition is already becoming an important aspect of mobile I/O, both for high-level command/control and application-launching for search, navigation, and other applications that can be driven with terse, relatively-unambiguous commands (e.g., "Navigate to (address)," "Search for Alabama football score," etc.), as well as voice-dictation supplanting keyboard input for email, text messaging, IM, note-taking and similar apps. At the moment, most of these functions require network-side support and an Internet connection. That plays to their benefit in some respects, both in terms of overall efficiency and because centralization potentially speeds up machine learning: exposing the app to more and more-diverse inputs (accents, phrasings, etc.) and enabling it to resolve more transactions around those inputs.
The relatively small size of speech data makes centralization of speech recognition practical, given connectivity. But it's less obvious how gesture recognition, which involves realtime image processing, can be done centrally, even over advanced wideband mobile networks like LTE. Pushing recognition down onto endpoint devices will mean re-architecting them – enabling improved performance while not compromising the 'crowdsourcing' benefits of centralization; which in turn, requires both significant signal-processing capability on the endpoint device, plus managerial capacity and bandwidth to frequently report to, and derive updates from, centralized resources. More, and better-coordinated CPUs here clearly is a great idea.
… and parallelism in end points
Accelerating this revolution are several obvious convergent and divergent trends in device design, which collectively point towards increasing multi-modality of I/O, and concomitant need for vastly increased parallelism at endpoints.
On the one hand, you have increasing dependence on touchscreens and gradual elimination of pointing devices – a trend that implies a soon-to-be-powerful need for grafting contact-based and more remote recognition modes together (e.g., touch, multi-touch, local, and more-remote gesture) to permit fluent input, prevent ergonomic issues, and enable UI and data to keep sharing screen space.
And this multi-modality can also be applied to solve problems on the other side of the trend-curve, where we're talking about wearing mobile devices shaped like glasses, that lack any form of touch interface. Though there are payoffs here, as well – for example, head-worn devices enable correlation of attention (i.e., what you're looking at, hence what's important) with gesture recognition for improved disambiguation of attention – provided you have the cores to keep the whole sensorium lit up.
The question of augmented reality is also important – as this technology is likely to move quickly from its current state (dropping internet-derived informational overlays onto select objects in the visual field) towards a more sophisticated interactivity, requiring maintenance and updating of a more and more powerful realtime model of the world – including positions and states of nearby and remote devices, as well as many layers of recognizer-generated information. That means cores, cores, cores.
NFC and Personal Area Networks
Another clear trend pushing manycores to mobile is the emergence of NFC and the growing market potential of peripheral devices in personal-area networks. Long predicted, this is now really happening. But it will happen much faster if peripheral devices themselves can be relatively dumber – the emerging model is very much like cloud computing: where peripherals exploit processing and internet connectivity on the host mobile device . That said, having a mobile device that can work like a cloud computer is a very good thing.
Finally, it seems pretty obvious – all marketing hype aside – that mobile computing will always struggle, in some contexts, with bandwidth and connectivity. And most of the now-on-the-napkin-or-drawing-board technologies for improving connectivity dramatically and affordably are computation-dependent.
An example – probably one that should still be taken with a grain of salt until more proof that it works and can be productized becomes available – is Reardon's Distributed Input/Distributed Output (DIDO) wireless concept, described in this white paper, and much-discussed in 2011. Whether this or other schemes move forward, however, it seems certain that availability of strong parallelism on mobile endpoints can only facilitate realization of functional, economical solutions.

1. Look for squirrel nests or bird nests. Recreate your own version by gathering fallen items. Ask your child their theory on why nests are built up in the trees. You just might find yourself having a food chain conversation!
2. Organize a nature scavenger hunt. Take an egg carton and colour code the bottom of each cup. Take the carton on a walk and try to find an item in nature representing each colour.
3. Adopt a stream or a park in your community. Visit it regularly to clean up the area and notice the seasonal changes.
4. Go on a shape hunt. There are many shapes to be found in nature. Encourage your child to collect as many fallen items they can find in 1o minutes. Sort them into piles according to their shape: round, triangular, and square.
5. Choose one tree to sketch in your neighbourhood. As each season changes, visit the tree to observe and draw the changes. Pick up a fallen leaf or branch to bring home for a nature table.
6. Plan a leaf race! Find different fallen leaves and hold them up high to see which one falls to the ground first. If you live by a stream, you can drop them in the stream and take guesses on which one will float away first.
7. Discover different textures in nature through rubbings. Fold a piece of paper into 6 squares and bring different coloured crayons. Place the paper on top of the object and rub over with the crayon. Trees, rocks, leaves, sticks, and the ground as options.
8. Next time you're heading out for a walk, grab a reusable bag and collect nature items to bring home. Use the gathered items to make pictures or try these adorable animals.

The other day I wrote a letter to Governor Rick Scott. Turns out, I'm not the only one to have some, um, "concern", over the governor's recent comments regarding Anthropology and other Liberal Arts (but mostly Anthropology).
Daniel Lende has a very thorough compilation of comments, responses (even from Governor Scott) and further developments in the One-Sided Education Saga. (Here's Lende's Article)
Here are a couple highlights.
The American Anthropological Association issued a swift response:
As an association, we are a group of over 11,000 scholars, scientists, and professionals who are dedicated to studying humankind in all its aspects, including through archaeological, biological, cultural, medical, and linguistic research… Perhaps you are unaware that anthropologists are leaders in our nation's top science fields, making groundbreaking discoveries in areas as varied as public health, human genetics, legal history, bilingualism, the African American heritage, and infant learning.
Brent Weisman, chair of the University of South Florida's Department of Anthropology, offered this response:
My colleagues and I in the Anthropology Department at USF encourage our Governor to do his homework on the modern discipline of anthropology before making another casual but ill-informed remark. Anthropologists at USF work side by side with civil and industrial engineers, cancer researchers, specialists in public health and medicine, chemists, biologists, and others in the science, technology, and engineering fields that the Governor so eagerly applauds. Our colleagues in the natural, engineering, and medical sciences view the anthropological collaboration as absolutely essential to the success of their research and encourage their students to take courses in anthropology to help make them better scientists.
Anthropology is a human science in its own right, and many of my colleagues receive highly competitive funding through the prestigious National Science Foundation to conduct original research on contemporary social problems. Recent faculty projects have focused on issues in immigration, aging, disparities in health care, and food insecurity, to mention a few, all of which are pressing problems right here in Florida.
And countering Governor Scott's remark, the number of anthropology majors is increasing dramatically. We take this as validation of anthropology's vital role in the modern world. Anthropology graduates get jobs in many careers outside of academia and help their employers solve the many complex human challenges facing our communities, our state, our nation, and our world. We respectfully disagree with our Governor. More anthropologists needed, not fewer, Mr. Scott.
What I've learned today: not only are Anthropologists smarter than I am, but they're a lot more
pissed off angry than I am too!
In closing though, let's not forget that the primary issue here doesn't seem to be an attack on Anthropology so much as it is an erroneous suggestion that limits the scope of what college can be – what college should be.
To quote Robin Williams' character in "Dead Poets Society":
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Now medicine, law, business, engineering – these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, 'O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?' Answer. That you are here – that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

How do I get my 8 month old Jack Russell to stop bitting/mouthing when she plays.
I have an 8 month old Jack Russell who thinks that people are chew toys. particularly hands and feet. If I tell her no it seems to make her want to chew on me even more. If I try to grab her she thinks I'm trying to play chase and it becomes a game of tag. (wich would be fine if she didn't use her mouth to tag me). If I try to ignore her or walk away she she grabs onto my pant leg and begins to shake her head. I know that she is only trying to play, but it becomes a big problem when there is company over and she wants to chew on them too! She is otherwise a really good dog...Please help

I agree with the previous answers but wanted to emphasize that giving your pup enough exercise is a key ingredient in getting her to play nice. She could be frustrated and full of energy with no outlet. She should be over her teething phase by now, so biting should decrease. If she grabs your pantleg, leave the room and close the door.
But, most of all, walk her, play with her and generally wear her out. Then do some obedience training using positive methods and you should see an improvement.

JRTs are a VERY high energy and HIGH PLAY DRIVE breed. Do you have any toys for her to play with? Snoopy doesn't w(hen he does they're too chewed up use in a few hours), so when he tries to use my hands for a tug rope. I scold him (e.g. "NO!") and he quits right away. He didn't do this when my grandma had Sadie or when he had lots of toys around. Just try to have LOTS of toys, maybe another dog to play with, and be sure to give him the exercise he needs. JRTs want to do everything with their master (not nescessarily the owner of the dog), even take out the garbage. They are also generally smart and love to learn tricks. (Of course, you need to keep the training sessions short 'n' sweet or he'll loose intrest.)

As Snoopy advised, definitely try to channel the biting/mouthing into fun, interactive toys. When Baily starts biting a hand or foot, replace the body part with a toy in the mouth, then calmly walk away. If you praise him once he chews the toy, his attention might immediately turn back to you - just like how telling him "no" only got him more excited. So hopefully not reacting to him when he advances and giving him toys for biting will teach him what's acceptable to bite. Good luck!

Molly used to do that at that age too. Toys with sqeakers worked for us. Now she just follows us around when we're doing things with her sqeaker toy in tow and the sound and action of making it sqeak soothes her.

If this were my dog, I'd do exactly what his mother and littermates would do with her; yelp sharply and stop playing immediately. Turn your back on her and don't make eye contact for a few minutes. Wait for her to become calm before you resume playing.
Have everyone who comes in contact with her do this, and you should start to see an improvement within a matter of days.
It works really well since you're playing up something that she's already got ingrained in her; dogs teach each other how to behave using a combination of body language and sharp sounds.
By imitating what other dogs would do with her when she gets mouthy, you're ensuring that she'll understand a bit easier.
Most pups learn this from their littermates and mom at a young age, but sometimes when we take them away from their litter/mom too early, they don't really learn some of the basics of good canine citizenship, so to speak. LOL!

Agreeing with all the answers here. Also, Miss Buddie is a "power chewer" so she also destroys a lot of toys in no time. The best toy we have are made by Kong. They're really hard rubber and practically indestructible. Buddie's had one for nearly 2 months and it barely has any teeth marks on it.
I also can attest to the power of daily walks. Since we've started walking her twice a day, her indoor behavior is so much better.
