Media Release: Your quick guide to NBN under the Coalition: "There’s been an endless stream of news reports around the NBN since the change of government. It’s hard to sort fact from fiction, rumour from reportage and announcement from anecdote. So here’s a round up of what the new government has actually done so far to implement its promise to totally revamp Labor’s ambitious fibre to the home plan."

Investigator Lecture 2013
Investigator Lecture 2013: "Many children are now growing up immersed in technology, with teenagers leading the advance into a 24/7 digital lifestyle. Much of our children's communication is now online, their leisure and entertainment is increasingly provided by the internet and video games, and they often seem inseparable from their mobile phones. Some press articles suggest we are facing an unprecedented crisis in which 'the human brain ... is under threat from the modern world'. Dr Paul Howard-Jones, Reader in Neuroscience and Education, presents the current evidence on technology’s impact on human well-being, and particularly the brain. Flinders University’s Investigator Lecture is its pre-eminent public lecture of the year. Matthew Flinders’ ship, the Investigator acts as a metaphor to embody the ideals of the University – innovation, forward thinking and the importance of providing intellectual space."

Lasting legacy: Nelson Mandela's evolution as a strategic leader
Lasting legacy: Nelson Mandela's evolution as a strategic leader: "The life story of Nelson Mandela is well known, and has elevated him to the level of such widely recognized heroes as Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There is indeed much courage, sacrifice, wisdom and nobility in his life -- attributes that demand our deep respect and have much to teach us.
What is less well-known is how Mandela evolved into the kind of strategic leader who, from prisons on Robben Island and elsewhere, helped to bring genuine democracy to South Africa. For example, while isolated from his fellow prisoners by force, he steered secret government meetings toward the abolishment of apartheid and free elections. Subsequent to that, he became the country's first democratically elected black president."

Facebook Hashtags – What Do They Mean For Brands? | Shrushti Blog
Facebook Hashtags – What Do They Mean For Brands? | Shrushti Blog: "Last week saw Facebook announce the introduction of clickable hashtags. Similar to the use of hashtags in both Twitter and Instagram, users will now be able to click on a hashtag and view the conversation that surrounds it. The development comes after Facebook admitted that there is a need to link conversations taking place on the platform. Previously, several million users could be talking about the same topic – a blockbuster film or a news story – yet there was no way to link the conversations. It’s hoped that this update will improve the usability of the networkand encourage visitors to spend longer on the platform, rather than leaving to join a conversation that’s taking place on Twitter, for example."

Activist Post: EPA to American People: 'Let Them Eat Monsanto's Roundup Ready Cake'
Activist Post: EPA to American People: 'Let Them Eat Monsanto's Roundup Ready Cake': "The EPA, whose mission is to "to protect human health and the environment," has approved Monsanto's request to allow levels of glyphosate (Roundup) contamination in your food up to a million times higher than have been found carcinogenic.
If you haven't already heard, it's now official. Monsanto's request to have the EPA raise allowable levels of its herbicide glyphosate in food you may soon be eating has been approved [see Final Rule]. Public commenting is also now closed, not that it was anything but a formality to begin with.
Here is the original registration application, lest detractors claim it was not Monsanto behind this bold move to legalize what an increasingly educated public considers a form of institutionalized mass poisoning:"
