Quadrant Online - John Howard and the media Extract from Tom Switzer – “John Howard and the Media” published in The Howard Era (Quadrant Books): He was called a “fool” (Michael Leunig), an “unflushable turd” (Mungo MacCallum), a “scheming, mendacious little man” (Alan Ramsey), who silenced dissent (Clive Hamilton), corrupted the public debate (David Marr) and used right-wing religious activists to indoctrinate the nation (Marion Maddox). He was also “far and away the worst prime minister in living memory” (Phillip Adams) who had a “pre-fascist fetish to attack minorities” (Margo Kingston). Under his government, Australia headed towards an “increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the political culture” (Robert Manne), became “a backwater, a racist and inward-looking country” (Greg Barns) and was “condemned at the court of world opinion as callous and inhumane” (Sun-Herald, Sydney). If any of these criticisms bothered John Winston Howard, he never let it show. Of course, such prejudice was hardly novel. Extract only.

The Square reader makes any iPhone into a credit card reader. Set up an account with Square and you can take credit card payments, and the reader comes free with your account.

The pair wrote a simple PC-based tool to record the credit card sound and play it back on demand. This hack also allowed them to effectively pull cash from a gift card that officially can't be used for cash. The hack poses no risk to users of the Square service. In addition, this hack doesn't really demonstrate a weakness with Square.

Everything I will relate only exposes the surface of the problem. In talking about this subject, I am talking about my own business. Alright.

Event Planning and Marketing Blueprint When I think back on some of the incredible events I’ve attended, like Webtrend’s Engage, ExactTarget’s Connections and BlogWorld Expo – I’m always blown away at the number of moving parts to an event and how seamlessly these organizations put them together. I am not an event planner. I can barely juggle more than a client at a time, nevermind thousands of visitors. (That’s why Jenn works with us!).

This infographic from Hubspot and Constant Contact walks through all of the key elements of event planning and promotion, including setting up your event, promoting your event, leveraging social media, tracking, running the event and post-event follow-up.

12 Things That The Mainstream Media Is Being Strangely Quiet About Right Now As the mainstream media continues to be obsessed with Anthony Weiner and his bizarre adventures on Twitter, much more serious events are happening around the world that are getting very little attention. In America today, if the mainstream media does not cover something it is almost as if it never happened. Right now, the worst nuclear disaster in human history continues to unfold in Japan , U.S. nuclear facilities are being threatened by flood waters, the U.S. military is bombing Yemen, gigantic cracks in the earth are appearing all over the globe and the largest wildfire in Arizona history is causing immense devastation. But Anthony Weiner, Bristol Palin and Miss USA are what the mainstream media want to tell us about and most Americans are buying it. In times like these, it is more important than ever to think for ourselves. The corporate-owned mainstream media is not interested in looking out for us. That is why more Americans than ever are turning to the alternative media.

The Third Wave Background to the Third Wave experiment[edit] The experiment took place at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, California, during the first week of April 1967.[1] Jones, finding himself unable to explain to his students how the German population could have claimed ignorance of the extermination of the Jewish people, decided to demonstrate it to them instead.[3] Jones started a movement called "The Third Wave" and told his students that the movement aimed to eliminate democracy.[1] The idea that democracy emphasizes individuality was considered as a drawback of democracy, and Jones emphasized this main point of the movement in its motto: "Strength through discipline, strength through community, strength through action, strength through pride."[1] The experiment was not well documented at the time. Of contemporary sources, the experiment is only mentioned in the Cubberley High School student newspaper, The Cubberley Catamount. Chronology[edit] First day[edit] Second day[edit] Third day[edit]
