We?ve been ourselves in all too familiar sad situation over the last couple of weeks, stuck in between wanting to update you iDevices to the latest iOS firmware and not knowing when we will have a functional jailbreak and unlock with iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3 untethered available. Keeping the history in our minds, we now should be able to easy rest that the researchers such as SoftRa1n have always finally managed to escape the restrictions put in place to bring a jailbreak and unlock to the masses and there will always remain a lettle part within us that has doubts when Apple released a new version of iOS.
Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3 by Fast Unlock allows you to jailbreak iPhone 5/4/4S/3GS iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3 and unlock iPhone 5/4/4S/3GS iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3 and it works on iPhone 3G/3Gs , to get complete control over it. Currently, SoftRa1n allows you to perform a untethered jailbreak to your device that has already been upgraded to firmware iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3, which means you wont need to use SoftRa1n every time you boot the device, otherwise all your jailbreak data gets wiped. However, it will unlock iPhone 5/4/4S/3Gs up to iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3, enabling it to be used with different GSM carriers worldwide.
As a part of that they?r hard work, AppleUnlocker Team has released the necessary solution to their untethered jailbreak and unloack iPhone 5/4/4S/3Gs and iPad 2/3 tool, which first version was released last year. AppleUnloacker is an extremely simple 1 Click tool which now is allowing users to insert the necessary files into their idevices so that they can have the untethered jailbreak and unlock. If you happen to be waiting with a iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3 gadget in your hands, then please read on AppleUnlocker official website for the full information on how to use the app to achieve an untethered unlock and jailbreak on the iOS 6.1.4/6.1.3.
With the easiest jailbreak solution called SoftRa1n updated for any firmware, out that is browser based even those who may have hesitated in the past are flocking to sites to install the jailbreak and then take advantage of what the EFF fought for. The ability to be able to install any third-party software to make your iPhone more useful is a choice every smart phone owner deserves and now has.

Explosive device outside occupied building in Rome
During the night of July 7 an explosive device was left in front of an occupied building in Rome.
Inside the building the occupiers were celebrating their first three months of residence whilst outside a BMW dropped off a bag containing a timer and some explosive. Two occupiers noticed an LED light inside the bag and called the police.
The device was deactivated by police bomb disposal experts who gave assurances that the timer was defective. The police said it was a ?show of action? but the occupiers do not agree.
Since April Rome has been experiencing a huge wave of new housing occupations involving both private and public buildings. This followed the Tsunami Tour, action involving several political groups and some of the many people who need and are looking for a home.
The occupied building is owned by Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone?s group. Caltagirone is one of the richest and more powerful businessmen in Italy. Through different groups and holdings, he owns newspapers, cement factories and construction companies and is involved in major banks, insurance and services companies, and in the rail system.
The occupiers have to face many threats in Rome: not only repression but also fascist attacks, racist protests and the attention of local criminals and powerful economic groups.

Wal-Mart to D.C.: Require us to raise wages? We'll leave
wal-mart 
16 hours ago
Wal-Mart is butting heads with Washington, D.C., over a city council vote that would require large box retailers to pay employees $12.50 an hour at minimum.
That?s more than the local minimum wage of $8.25 an hour, but no matter. A day after Wal-Mart pushed back, threatening to drop plans to build three stores in the nation's capital and reconsider its commitment to three more, D.C. lawmakers approved the bill. If signed by the mayor, the bill would require retailers with more than $1 billion in U.S. annual sales and stores 75,000 square feet or larger to pay a higher minimum wage than that of the city.
From the debate has emerged a question other U.S. cities may have: Will Wal-Mart be able to break into cities, traditionally union strongholds?
With rural and suburban America reaching saturation, Wal-Mart?s push into heavily Democratic cities has been met so far with resistance from community leaders and politicians demanding that the retailer pay its employees more.
"In terms of the major urban centers, their low wages and poor labor practices have been a large barrier," said Ken Jacobs, chair of the University of California Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education.
Wal-Mart spokesman Steve Restivo said by email that the decision to pull out and suspend projects in the District will be a "difficult decision."
There?s also the concern that Wal-Mart wouldn?t abandon D.C. ? but would shrink its new store blueprints to below the 75,000-square-foot threshold. (It would be tough to shrink profits: In the first quarter ending April 30, net sales were $113.4 billion company-wide, and income was $3.78 billion.)
"The fear I have is they might scale back," said Joslyn Williams, president of the Metropolitan Washington Council of the AFL-CIO.
Despite an improving economy, Reverend Graylan Hagler, leader of a social justice-focused think tank of clergy members, said residents in poor neighborhoods were being left on the sidelines.
"There?s a corporate responsibility here, not only of providing jobs but of providing meaningful and dignified jobs,? Hagler said.
Wal-Mart says its average hourly wage for full-time, non-managerial employees in the U.S. is $12.78, and $12.39 in Virginia. "Our wages and benefits meet or exceed those offered by most of our competitors," Restivo said.
But Jacobs, the Berkeley labor professor, says those wages don?t represent workers overall.
"That $12.78 really masks the fact that you have a significant number of part-time workers, who are paid less," he said.
(Restivo said that "most" of Wal-Mart's workforce is full-time, but he declined to provide a percentage.)
In a 2011 paper, Jacobs said Wal-Mart could absorb the cost of a wage increase. He said even passing it along to customers would only have an incremental effect on prices.
This isn?t the first time local lawmakers have targeted Wal-Mart over wages. A similar big-box wage measure in Chicago failed in 2006 after Wal-Mart objected and then-mayor Richard Daley vetoed the legislation. Supporters fear a similar outcome in Washington, D.C., as Mayor Vincent Gray has ?serious concerns? about the city council?s bill, his spokesman Pedro Ribeiro said.
Even if Wal-Mart wins this round, Jacobs said the company will have to address its low wages if it wants to break into American cities. "At some point, Wal-Mart is going to have to deal with this issue," he said. "Ultimately, I think if cities go forward with these initiatives, Wal-Mart is going to be forced to bend."

China drawing up plans to end official game console sales ban, report claims
China's 13-year prohibition on game console sales may soon come to an end, according to a report from the South China Morning Post. The compromise would see the likes of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft able to manufacture game consoles in Shanghai's new free trade zone -- part of a larger governmental move to open up China's economy to the outside world -- and then market and sell said consoles across mainland China. Of course, the big three would still have to pass the Chinese government's smell test, an approval from "culture-related authorities," according to the report.
The news certainly lines up with China's goal in its original ban: "to keep underage folks away from dangerous venues and unhealthy content," Engadget China head Richard Lai wrote earlier this year in a piece detailing the history of China's game console law. In fact, Nintendo's currently able to sell game consoles in China, despite the long-standing ban; it currently markets its 3DS XL gaming handheld under the iQue brand, alongside a handful of first-party Nintendo software. Sony's also had brief approval for console sales in China in the past, including a Chinese version of the PlayStation 2 -- the company's PlayStation arm even has a headquarters in Guangzhou as part of a government-backed project.
Lifting China's game console sales ban is little more than a report at the moment, but now seems like an especially good time for the country to reconsider its stance. With new game consoles on the way from Sony and Microsoft, that's a lot of money potentially being left on the table.

Haslam: 'Absolutely not' selling the Browns - Yahoo! Sports
Despite being investigated by the FBI for fraud and reports that his company is $4 billion in debt, new Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said Monday that he will not sell the team. "Absolutely not," Haslam told ESPN Cleveland. "We plan on owning the Browns for a long time." Haslam's trucking company, Pilot Flying J, was recently investigated by the FBI for possible fraud. Haslam has denied any knowledge of the company's alleged questionable business dealings. A dozen trucking companies sued Pilot Flying J and five former employees pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the FBI investigation. Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the company is $4 billion in debt and has a "downgraded" credit rating. Haslam has had to apologize to the other NFL owners and his control over the team has been questioned, but Haslam plans to hold on to the team. However, he would not comment on the Wall Street Journal report. Instead, he focused on the positive. "Since October, we put together a completely new front office, hired a new head coach with two really good coordinators, sold naming rights to the stadium, and went through free agency and the draft," Haslam said. He also said the team is working on upgrading the team headquarters and FirstEnergy Stadium. "We've spent $5 million remodeling (the team headquarters in) Berea," Haslam said. "And we're working on an upwards of $100 million remodeling of the stadium. We've been very committed to turning this franchise around." NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that Haslam is "doing everything he's been asked" since the FBI raided Pilot Flying J. Haslam bought the Browns from Randy Lerner last year for about $1 billion. He paid Lerner $700 million up front and owes $300 million by Oct. 16, 2016.

Conversation with a real estate millionaire ? The Punch - Nigeria's ...
Abiodun Doherty
| credits: File
We have gone through several principles on real estate investments and answered several questions and enquiries from ardent readers of this column. But it may be even more instructive to share one of several conversations that I have had with a real estate millionaire that has helped me tremendously.
I have discovered the truth of the saying that an ounce of example is worth a pound of precepts. Permit me to extract the basic principles of this particular conversation and to protect the privacy of this individual who would also prefer his name not to be mentioned.
Rule 1: Have a good source of income. This particular real estate investor started several years ago just a few years after the independence of Nigeria by exporting certain agricultural produce. He poured himself into building this business and was later joined by a few other partners. The business flourished and provided him with the regular stream of income with which he started investing in real estate.
This real estate millionaire believes in hard work and entrepreneurship. He believes that many of the youths of today will do better if they learn to walk before attempting to fly. He believes that if you are willing to serve others faithfully in their business, you?ll do wonderfully well in yours when you eventually start.
The lesson for us all in this is that real estate investment requires seed capital and to have those initial seed capital you must have earning power, you must have a means of income. You cannot put up a solid structure without a solid foundation. So,for all would be investors, first learn a skill or profession that will get you a job or start a business that you can grow and that will provide you with regular income.
Rule 2: Start saving and start investing in real estate in your own little way. Our real estate millionaire started by buying land in an area that was then a ?jungle?? but is now one of the commercial nerve centres of Lagos. He stated that it was not easy buying some of those properties then.He said he made buying real estate one of his pastimes.
He did not start buying properties in the high brow areas of the time because he could not afford them. According to him, start where you are and with what you have. If all you can afford is a parcel of land in the outskirt of town by all means start there rather than not starting at all.
Rule 3: Its good to build and rent. This real estate millionaire began to build some of his properties with the aim of letting them. Fortunately for him, as time went on ,he began to acquire knowledge of construction and building development. This accelerated his building projects and his ability to interact with builders and workmen saved him significant costs. He also began to let the buildings to tenants to generate income. As at today, his annual rental income is in millions of naira.
The lesson for aspiring real estate investors is to focus on income-generating assets. Once you have sorted out the issue of where you live, you should continue building for others to rent from you and pay to you. Some real estate investors have a goal to build a certain number of houses in certain areas over a period of time using current and projected rent as a basis for planning.
This strategy is also a form of retirement planning since rental income from such properties provide passive cash flow. Like our real estate millionaire, who is now an elderly man, but does not need to work in order to pay for his cost of living.
Rule 4: If you can?t develop some properties on your own, give them to reliable developers.This real estate millionaire had some properties that he could not afford to develop on his own because of multiple projects that he was involved in. He gave some of such properties to carefully selected developers that he gave long leases to. Many of such properties have since reverted to his control and are now giving him fantastic returns. In his thinking, it was better to add value to the land or allow someone else to add value to the land. As long as the properties are not sold they would eventually revert back to him or his beneficiaries.
Rule 5: when you do sell, reinvest all or part of the income in real estate. This real estate investor rarely sells his properties but when he does, he sometimes buys another property or uses the income to add value to another property. He is? comfortable and modest at the same time. He often has the next project or investment in sight before concluding the deal to sell.
He believes in moving his funds to better and better real estate locations that will bring in better rental income. As at today, a conservative estimate of his property assets is over N2billion.He started small,built his estate gradually but strategically and now he is reaping the reward.
Some locations suddenly became prime locations and transformed the value of his investment. His life proves that if you cast your bread on many waters you?ll find it and more someday or somewhere you least expect.

Bloomberg: Nokia will buy Siemens' share of joint venture for less than $2.6b
Not all partnerships pan out, and Nokia seems ready to call it quits: according to Bloomberg, the company might announce a buy out of the German half of Nokia Siemens Networks later this week. Sources familiar with the matter say that the the Finnish firm is planning to use a bridge loan to finance the $2.6 billion purchase (less than 2 billion euros), taking the entire operation under its own wing. It's not a completely unexpected move on Nokia's part -- the company previously avoided selling off stake in the network back in 2011, opting to lean on its own shareholders instead. Bloomberg reports that Siemens has declined to comment on the issue, but we'll let you know if we hear anything solid.

Claim: 'Recent El Ni?o behavior is largely beyond natural variability ...
From the University of Hawaii at Manoa:
El Nino unusually active in the late 20th century
This graph shows El Ni?o variability derived from tree rings (blue) and instrumental measurements (red). The dashed lines indicate boundary for natural variability. Recent El Ni?o behavior is largely beyond natural variability. Credit: International Pacific Research Center
Spawning droughts, floods, and other weather disturbances world-wide, the El Ni?o ? Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts the daily life of millions of people. During El Ni?o, Atlantic hurricane activity wanes and rainfall in Hawaii decreases while Pacific winter storms shift southward, elevating the risk of floods in California.
The ability to forecast how ENSO will respond to global warming thus matters greatly to society. Providing accurate predictions, though, is challenging because ENSO varies naturally over decades and centuries. Instrumental records are too short to determine whether any changes seen recently are simply natural or attributable to man-made greenhouse gases. Reconstructions of ENSO behavior are usually missing adequate records for the tropics where ENSO develops.
Help is now underway in the form of a tree-ring record reflecting ENSO activity over the past seven centuries. Tree-rings have been shown to be very good proxies for temperature and rainfall measurements. An international team of scientists spearheaded by Jinbao Li and Shang-Ping Xie, while working at the International Pacific Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa, has compiled 2,222 tree-ring chronologies of the past seven centuries from both the tropics and mid-latitudes in both hemispheres. Their work is published in the June 30, 2013 online issue of Nature Climate Change.
The inclusion of tropical tree-ring records enabled the team to generate an archive of ENSO activity of unprecedented accuracy, as attested by the close correspondence with records from equatorial Pacific corals and with an independent Northern Hemisphere temperature reconstruction that captures well-known teleconnection climate patterns.
These proxy records all indicate that ENSO was unusually active in the late 20th century compared to the past seven centuries, implying that this climate phenomenon is responding to ongoing global warming.
?In the year after a large tropical volcanic eruption, our record shows that the east-central tropical Pacific is unusually cool, followed by unusual warming one year later. Like greenhouse gases, volcanic aerosols perturb the Earth?s radiation balance. This supports the idea that the unusually high ENSO activity in the late 20th century is a footprint of global warming? explains lead author Jinbao Li.
?Many climate models do not reflect the strong ENSO response to global warming that we found,? says co-author Shang-Ping Xie, meteorology professor at the International Pacific Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa and Roger Revelle Professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego. ?This suggests that many models underestimate the sensitivity to radiative perturbations in greenhouse gases. Our results now provide a guide to improve the accuracy of climate models and their projections of future ENSO activity. If this trend of increasing ENSO activity continues, we expect to see more weather extremes such as floods and droughts.?
